Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1276

Chapter 1276: The Second Man That She Fancied

After sorting out her thoughts, the smile on Zhai Hua’s face widened. The scorching look in her eyes also lessened. “Is it a coincidence that both of you came together? Or was it agreed beforehand? Are you sending a wedding invitation to our family?”

Qiu Chenxi blushed and squirmed a little. “Sister Zhai Hua, what are you talking about? Dongzi and I have not reached that stage. In fact, we are just ordinary friends.”

Having been intercepted by Qiu Chenxi, Tian Dong turned pale. He was not anxious to explain. After Qiu Chenxi had said her piece, Tian Dong almost did not know how to explain himself. “Yes, I am just ordinary friends with her. Hua Hua, I am here to look for you. I am not sure where Miss Qiu got this piece of news from. ‘Coincidentally’, she also came to visit the Zhai family. We happened to bump into each other at the entrance.”

Tian Dong emphasized the word ‘coincidentally’ as he spoke.

They all were smart people. How could there be so many coincidences in the world? If there were too many coincidences, it would seem deliberate.

At the mention of Qiu Chenxi, Tian Dong did not seem to feel less furious than the auntie. “Hua Hua, the weather is good today. I would like to ask you out for a meal and a movie.”

This sudden move of Tian Dong stunned everyone.

Qiao Nan held on tightly to San Bao to calm herself down. “Tian Dong, do you know what it means when you say this?” Meals, movies, a man and a woman. These were things that boyfriend and girlfriend would do when they were together.

Marriage was an important matter. However, marriage was to form an alliance. It was to become relatives and not enemies.

Given Tian Dong’s erratic behavior, did the Tian family wish to fall out with the Zhai family and become enemies with the latter?

Most importantly, Qiao Nan gravely took a few more glances at Qiu Chenxi. Tian Dong came to ask Zhai Hua out for a date but he had to bring Qiu Chenxi along. What did that mean? Did he wish to hold one woman by each of his sides and enjoy the best of both worlds? He was having one date but had to bring the wife and mistress along?

Tian Dong would not do such a foolish thing.

Tian Dong turned pale. He quietly distanced himself from Qiu Chenxi. “Not long ago, my company encountered some troubles. They have only been resolved recently. I’ve not come to visit for such a long time. I’m really sorry. As for Miss Qiu, she is very close with my elder uncle and family, especially my elder uncle and auntie-in-law. They almost treat Miss Qiu as their own daughter. At this rate, Miss Qiu can call me Brother Dongzi in the future. If she encounters any problem, I will still lend her some help if I have the chance to do so.”

Those who had ears could sense that Tian Dong seemed to be gritting his teeth when he said that.

Tian Dong’s father was the second son of the Tian Dong family. The Zhai family had always been aware of this.

Tian Dong’s father could, in fact, choose to be a politician. However, it was uncertain what had happened many years ago. He not only chose to do business but also specially brought his wife and son overseas. When Tian Dong was studying abroad, he also enrolled in business management and related course of study.

Since he was doing business, as expected, the elder son of the Tian family, whom Tian Dong had referred to as ‘elder uncle’, went into politics.

The second son of the Tian family had been overseas for so many years. Besides calling home occasionally to send respects to the elders in the hometown, he had never returned to the country to visit his relatives.

No one knew what exactly happened in the Tian family. At most, there was some baseless gossip and guess.

However, when Tian Dong spoke, Miao Jing had deeper thoughts than Qiao Nan and Zhai Hua, these two youngsters.

Miao Jing remembered very clearly that Zhai Yaohui told her that the second son of the Tian family might look refined and gentle but was very intelligent especially in terms of interpersonal skills. He had his own ways of dealing with people. If the eldest son of the Tian family were honored and respected by outsiders, the second son of the Tian family was considered a friend by these people.

People had different views regarding the behavior of the two brothers of the Tian family.

Some people felt that the elder son of the Tian family was very mature and honorable, and very suited for a political career. As the second son was so amiable, he would be successful in whatever business that he did.

However, Zhai Yaohui wondered if a person would do well in the political circle if they were always stern and inflexible all the time.

Not necessarily so.

If the Tian family had nurtured the second son more, perhaps the family would have many good friends of all levels and ages and from all over the world.

At that time, Miao Jing even laughed at Zhai Yaohui when she heard this from the latter. Wasn’t that too exaggerated? He had made the second son of the Tian family sound so formidable. However, Zhai Yaohui replied to Miao Jing that he was not exaggerating at all. The second son of the Tian family had such capability.

Sometimes, interpersonal connections were a hundred times more important than the expression that a person put on. It could be said that if there was any stir in the grass, the second son of the Tian family would receive the news first hand. Anyway, he could completely make plans early through his friends in whatever he wanted to do.

From the central government to the authorities in the local towns and counties, the natives were not his match in whatever businesses that he wished to launch. They could not cause him any hindrances.

Among the two sons of the Tian family, obviously, it was ultimately up to the old master of the Tian family to decide who to forsake.

When the Zhai Yaohui received the news, although the second son of the Tian family was doing business, he was not willing to continue staying in the country and went overseas instead. He might have been hurt by his biological father’s decision.

The old master of the Tian family was very old. He even contracted a serious illness the year before and nearly could not be saved.

This life-threatening illness of Old Master Tian should be one of the important reasons that the second son of the Tian family was willing to let down his grudge and return to the country.

Zhai Yaohui had never hidden these situations. He told Miao Jing openly. As such, when she heard Tian Dong’s words, Miao Jing believed him and even understood the deeper meaning of his words.

After the eldest son of the Tian family got married, he had one daughter. This lady of the Tian family not only got married at a young age but also had a son who was attending elementary school now.

The elder son of the Tian family liked Qiu Chenxi so much. It could not be that he was treating Qiu Chenxi as his daughter because he lacked one. Linking it to Tian Dong’s long disappearance, Miao Jing guessed that the elder son of the Tian family had taken a liking to Qiu Chenxi and wanted Tian Dong to marry her.

Fortunately, Tian Dong had not accepted his elder uncle’s arrangement yet. He was not fond of Qiu Chenxi at all.

Qiu Chenxi came to the Zhai family’s residence with Tian Dong and even deliberately said some ambiguous words. Before she appeared, Tian Dong had interacted with Hua Hua for some time. The one he liked was her family’s Hua Hua. As such, Qiu Chenxi anxiously followed by Dongzi’s side in order to let them misunderstand Dongzi.
