Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1037 - Merely a Subsidiary



1037 Merely a Subsidiary

Wei De did not dare to tell his parents in the countryside that he had broken up with Zhai Hua. She might be old and single, but she did not want him anymore.

“Do you know each other?” The police officers looked at Qiao Nan curiously.

Qiao Nan sighed. “Dirty linen should not be aired in public. In fact, I don’t really know him. I only met him a few times. He is a swindler who cheated people of their feelings. Clearly, back in his countryside… yet he deceived my relative. We saw through his true colors not long ago. He failed to deceive my relative. Hence, he is here to create trouble for us. He thinks that since I am a young lady, I must be a pushover.”

Qiao Nan was very vague, but it was enough for the police officers to fill in the blanks and make a guess about Wei De’s situation.

Wei De was not the only person who held a wedding banquet in the countryside but did not collect the marriage certificate and came to the city to fool around. They had met several irresponsible men previously.

The police officers did not ask any more questions. There was no need to ask further. The man was a scumbag and he shamed all men!

Seeing that Wei De did not behave himself and kept struggling, the police officers pinned his upper arms to prevent him from moving around.

The police officers were certain that Wei De used to serve in the army. Judging from the way he struggled, he seemed physically strong.

However, this annoyed the police officers further.

Since he used to be from the People’s Liberation Army, how dare he resort to trickery. He was the scumbag of society!

“Behave yourself. I will give you a lesson when you are at the police station.” The two police officers put Wei De in the police car and drove off, leaving the small quad.

While Wei De was screaming at Qiao Nan, the neighbors could not really tell what Wei De was ranting about.

They did not take a good look at him or listen intently to what he said. In the end, they had the impression that a man was out to create trouble for Qiao Nan, and he was arrested by the police officers.

Qiao Nan was well-known in the quad as the ‘clever child of that family’. She was a role model to all the children.

As a result, the people in the quad were more willing to believe Qiao Nan whom they knew. Besides, they saw that the police officers arrested Wei De and commended Qiao Nan for reporting to the police. Therefore, Wei De must be in the wrong, and they despised him further. “The man does not seem to be a good person. Did he target Qiao Nan as she is alone at home?”

“It could be. In the future, we must be careful. We must not let this kind of person into the quad. Perhaps it is our groundless worries, but this man came after Qiao Nan today. He might target our children next time.”

It was common for people to vent one’s anger out on somebody else, especially those who were weaker than them.

They had to take preventive measures to make sure that it did not happen again!

“Thank you, everyone.” Qiao Nan overheard the conversation between the neighbors and gave them a grateful smile. She chatted with a few of them, telling them that the winter break was too short and she had no intention of teaching the students. She then closed the door and went back to rest.

Qiao Nan thought about it but did not inform the Zhai family about what had happened just now. She did not want to upset them further.

Wei De must be driven to desperate actions and had no other choice but to look for her. Qiao Nan was certain that Zhai Hua was very firm in her attitude this time.

That was why even when Wei De despised her, he turned to her for help.

“Nan Nan, I heard that a madman came to our house today and he was taken away by the police officers. Are you okay?” Qiao Dongliang came back from his work at the factory. He heard the neighbors talking about this and paled in fright.

As soon as he reached home, Qiao Dongliang pulled Qiao Nan to him to have a closer look, making sure that she was not hurt.

Qiao Nan allowed Qiao Dongliang to inspect her for injuries before she spoke, “Dad, he is no madman. He is Wei De.”

“He?” There was a disdainful look on Qiao Dongliang’s face. “What was he doing here? We have nothing to do with him.”

“What else could it be but for me to help him reconcile with Sister Zhai Hua?” Qiao Nan replied. “He must be out of his mind. Anyone can tell that I will never agree to it.”

Qiao Dongliang agreed. “He must be driven to desperate actions. He was left with no choice, so he had to try even if it seemed highly impossible.”

“Dad, do you know about his current situation?”

“I heard that his previous company has gone bankrupt. He had another small company, but I heard that he is the only person in the entire company. Obviously, he could not keep his small business running. Things have been going on for so long. It is nothing if his business has to fold. The worst is that he owes a huge amount of debts.”

He did not earn any money, but he had a lot of expenses.

His parents were ordinary peasants. They did not have many lands.

If Wei De closed his company in the future—even if he worked his entire life and saved up all his money without spending a single cent—he would not be able to repay such a large amount of debts.

“Serves him right.” Qiao Nan felt much better after knowing that Wei De was in such dire straits.

She was a woman. She had to stand on Zhai Hua’s side and spurn Wei De, who cheated Zhai Hua of her feelings. “Now that he is in such a bad situation, I don’t think he can stay in Ping Cheng any longer.”

“If that’s the case, it is the best outcome. The Zhai family, including Zhai Hua, has no wish of seeing Wei De ever again in this lifetime.” Once Wei De left, the Zhai family would finally be freed of him. “Let’s not talk about Wei De. The Lunar New Year is coming, yet he was taken to the police station. He must be fuming. Nan Nan, what do you want to eat this year?”

Qiao Dongliang knew that this would be the last Lunar New Year the father and daughter could spend together. Therefore, he wanted to prepare a sumptuous meal for them.

“I am fine with anything. Dad, I will have whatever you prepare. Anyway, we have the same preferences. You can buy the ingredients according to your preferences. It won’t go wrong.” Qiao Nan was not particular about this.

Qiao Dongliang thought about it and nodded. “Alright, I will decide for myself.”

Qiao Dongliang turned with his back to Qiao Nan. His tone changed slightly. “I met your mom a few days ago. She wanted the four of us to…”

“Spend the Lunar New Year together?!” Qiao Nan’s voice croaked, her tone slightly raised.

Qiao Dongliang smiled. “I won’t agree. Fortunately, your mom still knows her limits. She did not make this request. What your mom meant was that when it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, you can go back to the Qiao family’s residence to have a meal with them.” Ding Jiayi might have made the request, but he would not agree to it.

“What about you?” Between her and her father, her mother should prefer to invite her father instead of her. She was just going along with him. Why would she invite her instead of her father? Was she up to something?
