Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 2354 – Scheming (Chapter 1)

Chapter 2354: Scheming (1)

Even though this was merely a pretense, he was not willing to give up any opportunity.

“Oh.” After understanding Wang Yang’s intentions, Li Yayan obediently acted as his loyal servant. Zhai Sheng alone was trouble enough for Wang Yang. Now that she had become the master of the Zhu family, Qiao Nan had risen to the position of an empress herself. If they were to combine their efforts and act against Wang Yang, there was no way he would be able to fight back. As such, they had to do their best to please this couple. If there was the slightest opportunity to be their lackeys, they would not even hesitate for a moment!

Li Yayan was no fool, and after the truth behind Zhu Baoguo’s death had come to light, she knew that Qiao Nan would no longer bother about her. In fact, if she were to call Qiao Nan, she might very well reject the call. There was no way she would get to have a meal with Qiao Nan again as she had done in the past.

As such, Li Yayan didn’t want to lose such a good opportunity to get on Qiao Nan’s good side. Instead of making a call, Li Yayan decided to let Qiao Nan know of this situation through a text message.

After reading through the message, Qiao Nan deleted it before conveying the message to Zhai Sheng. “Brother Zhai, what do you think Li Yayan is trying to do?”

Qiao Nan had complete confidence that Wang Yang had not given up on the lawsuit out of his own will. In fact, he was probably still raging about having given up something he had chased after for his whole life. It was good enough if Wang Yang didn’t look upon her as an enemy if he were to see her. It was absolutely incredulous that Li Yayan was secretly sending her such information. Could it be that the couple had fallen out?

Zhai Sheng understood these things much better than Qiao Nan. “Wang Yang probably asked Li Yayan to send this message. Wang Yang’s hoping that we’ll let him off and not pursue the matter or make trouble for him.”

Qiao Nan’s eyes widened in shock. “Is that possible? I don’t really believe it!” That was Wang Yang they were talking about! Whether it was in her dream or in reality, Wang Yang was used to having his way. Even when he lost, Wang Yang would hold his head up. He was even more arrogant than the winning party!

It seemed strange for Wang Yang to be begging for mercy.

Zhai Sheng planted a light kiss on Qiao Nan’s lips as a consultation fee. “Wang Yang’s half a politician. All politicians know that it’s easier to break someone down with soft words. One must be skilled with their words if they want to survive in the political circle. Without the Zhu family’s assets in the picture, your relationship with Wang Yang will return to normal. Besides, you’re now the new master of the Zhu family. Given Wang Yang’s current situation, it’ll be dangerous for him to have you as an enemy.” Besides, he was on Nan Nan’s side too.

If Nan Nan wanted to deal with Wang Yang, he would definitely support her wholeheartedly and do his best to get rid of Wang Yang.

Wang Yang couldn’t afford to offend either one of them, much less both of them. He had to give in and compromise whenever possible.

After Zhu Chengqi’s death, Wang Yang had lost his previous confidence. Now, he wouldn’t even need to take any action to chase Wang Yang out of the capital if Wang Yang continued acting arrogant and refused to humble himself. There were throngs of people waiting to settle down in the capital. It was easy to replace someone like Wang Yang. Everyone was clear of that.

After hearing Zhai Sheng’s words, Qiao Nan was sure that Wang Yang had no intention of playing tricks on her now. But to be honest, Qiao Nan wasn’t too pleased about that either. She knew that she wasn’t a particularly vicious person who could harden her heart and deal with others brutally. But it wouldn’t be easy for her either if Wang Yang were to insist on driving himself into a corner.

Qiao Nan had resolved to exerting her authority in order to get revenge on Wang Yang on behalf of Zhu Baoguo and the Zhu family. Who would have known that Wang Yang would have ‘kneeled down’? And unfortunately, Qiao Nan had always been one to take a more defensive approach rather than an offensive one.

Wang Yang’s attitude broke Qiao Nan’s resolve to use more heavy-handed methods. It felt suffocating now.

Zhai Sheng laughed and took Qiao Nan into his arms. “Don’t get upset. If you really feel unhappy, you don’t need so many reasons to deal with Wang Yang. Besides, do you think that Wang Yang can change the past by acting soft now? Do you want me to help you? But are you so persistent about Zhu Baoguo’s death because of Chief Zhu or because of Zhu Baoguo himself? You were his classmate in junior high school, right?”

Although Zhu Baoguo had already been dead for over twenty years, Zhai Sheng felt uneasy that his beloved wife was so concerned about another man. As such, he had taken the effort to understand Zhu Baoguo’s situation.

The past between Qiao Nan and Zhu Baoguo had been easy to check up on. Just a few days after Qiao Nan dropped out of school after completing her second year of junior high school, Zhu Baoguo had gotten into an ‘accident’ with those hooligans. According to his documents, Qiao Nan had been a bookworm while Zhu Baoguo had been a delinquent who hardly even attended school. This meant that the two of them had hardly had any chance to meet each other.

From the evidence, it was likely that Qiao Nan had developed a dissatisfaction and aversion to Wang Yang because of Zhu Chengqi. But as Qiao Nan’s husband, Zhai Sheng felt that Qiao Nan’s negative feelings toward Wang Yang were purely because of Zhu Baoguo alone.

Having a husband who understood her best didn’t frighten Qiao Nan. In fact, she felt moved. It was only because Zhai Sheng cared about her and observed her emotions that he understood her thoughts. The problem was that it was impossible to explain the situation regarding Zhu Baoguo.

Qiao Nan was reluctant to lie to Zhai Sheng, and neither did she think she would succeed in doing so. But to be honest, there were times she couldn’t even tell if those experiences had been from another lifetime, or if it had simply been a dream. Besides, no one could answer her about whether she should bring those feelings into real life.

“It’s difficult to say?” When they had first met in Qingshui Town, Zhai Sheng had already felt that Qiao Nan was full of secrets. He had clearly met Qiao Nan for the first time in Qingshui Town, but strangely, Qiao Nan seemed to know all about the Zhai family.

If it had been anyone else, Zhai Sheng would have suspected them to be an enemy who had investigated his family background. But because it had been Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng had not felt that way. However, Qiao Nan had been strange in that sense indeed.

It could be said that Zhai Sheng had been giving Qiao Nan the time and opportunity to let him know about this matter once she was ready ever since he had met her in Qingshui Town.
