Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1341

Chapter 1341: Luxury Goods

At that time, in order to fight for his own happiness and also to avoid angering his elders, Tian Dong clearly told his elder uncle, Tian Shouyi, that Shi Peng’s only daughter, Shi Qing, was a very good friend of Qiao Nan. Putting Shi Qing aside, Shi Peng also treated Qiao Nan like his best buddy’s daughter.

As such, if he were to marry Hua Hua according to his wish, the Tian family could still build a good relationship with the Shi family.

However, at that time, Tian Shouyi insisted on his own opinion. He felt that the brother-in-law of a daughter’s good friend would not be as close as one’s own nephew-in-law. Qiao Nan was only a good friend of Shi Peng’s daughter whereas Qiu Chenxi was Shi Peng’s biological niece.

It was obvious who was closer in terms of kinship.

If Dongzi were to insist on marrying Zhai Hua, he would lure in the muddleheaded Zhai family who only knew how to take the side of reason without considering kinships. In addition, it was very likely that Shi Peng would be offended. When that time came, the Tian family would be detested and shunned by both the Zhai family and the Shi family. That would be terrible then.

A marriage that could initially benefit the Tian family would come up empty-handed instead.

As a result, Tian Shouxin and Tian Shouyi argued many times over this. Tian Shouyi was the elder one and Old Master Tian was biased toward him. In the end, Tian Shouyi used the old master to pressurize Tian Shouxin, saying that all these were the old master’s intentions. ‘Brother, don’t tell me you feel that your wings have hardened and you are not going to take the old master’s words seriously?’

When Tian Shouyi said such things, Tian Shouxin and Tian Shouyi could no longer continue with the discussion.

Tian Shouxin wanted to chat with the old master and asked him if he truly had such intention. However, the old master was unwell and Tian Shouyi also declined Tian Shouxin’s request.

When Tian Shouyi was finally willing to let Tian Shouxin visit the old master, Tian Shouxin could not find the energy to ask the old master if that was the case. This was because he knew that although the old master did not have such intention initially, Tian Shouyi would have planted such thoughts in him after communicating with him.

What was there to talk about then?!

Now, his son insisted and had married lady that he loved most, and he had become in-laws with Chief Zhai.

Look?

Look!

The Shi family was so good to them. All of Shi Peng’s departments had close working relationships with Dongzi’s company. However, Shi Peng had never used any excuse to hinder Dongzi.

The old master of the Shi family seemed a little unhappy that Dongzi had married Zhai Hua. However, the head of the family now was Shi Peng. Shi Peng relied on his own capability to rise in the ranks. In front of Old Master Shi, he did not need to feel guilty at all. He could completely insist on his own views in a bold and righteous manner.

The Tian family’s business was getting better and smoother. In the face of this, Tian Shouxin would even wake up from his dreams smiling, feeling proud that he had made the right decision by insisting on allowing his son to marry Zhai Hua and become in-laws with the Zhai family.

A relative like Qiao Nan did not become the only burden of the Tian family. Instead, the career of the Tian family established greater heights because of her. This was also considered a situation of benefiting from an unexpected course of events.

As expected, after Zhai Hua was pregnant, besides their daughter-in-law, the Tian Shouxin couple was most fond of Qiao Nan among all the juniors. As for their son, they would quietly dote on him in their hearts.

“Nan Nan, come here and take a look. These are the clothes that I asked my friend from abroad to buy. I heard that it’s this year’s latest fashion. Take a look and see if you like them. If there is anything that you like very much, tell auntie. Auntie will get someone to buy you more of the same kind next time. Right, besides clothes, they say that young ladies like you like these bottles and jars of stuff. Come and have a look together.”

As soon as Mother Tian saw Qiao Nan coming back, she greeted her warmly and insisted that Qiao Nan sit beside her. As soon as she showed the items, Qiao Nan could see a pile of luxury goods that she had only heard of but not touched before in her previous life.

Qiao Nan took a rough glance at these items. Even the Qiao Zijin in the previous life who was married to Chen Jun could not buy so many of such items to her heart’s content. It was as if they were fallen from the sky and did not require any money.

Qiao Nan gave a weak smile. In two lifetimes, she did not have much knowledge of these items. “Auntie, you’re too polite. Actually, I don’t know much about all these.” Qiao Nan was telling the truth. Others might not know but Zhai Hua knew it best. There was nothing on Qiao Nan’s washbasin except for a huge bottle of moisturizer.

Furthermore, that was because the weather in the capital was too dry. In comparison, Ping Cheng was more humid. In Ping Cheng, Qiao Nan did not even apply any moisturizer.

“Haha, this child. You are too simple. You’re really very different from the ladies overseas. Auntie likes young ladies like you. Down-to-earth and practical.” Having stayed in America for decades, Mother Tian still could not change some of her thinking.

Mother Tian did not like to make up. However, in her social circle, she had to do some research on all these to save face. Otherwise, if she appeared ignorant when her husband’s business partners enquired, her husband and son, and not her, would be the ones losing face.

Nevertheless, besides necessary occasions, Mother Tian did not like to apply such products on her face. On the contrary, she felt more comfortable and refreshing with a bare face.

This was one of the reasons for Qiu Chenxi’s failure to receive the affirmation of the Tian Shouxin couple.

She had thought that the Tian Shouxin couple had lived in America in decades and their thinking certainly must be different from that of the local elders. They would be more open-minded to many things.

One had to know that in overseas countries, it was considered a basic courtesy for a woman to apply makeup before going out. Clearly, she was expressing her respect to the Tian family by applying makeup.

It was a pity that Qiu Chenxi had not done enough ‘homework’. She had not researched thoroughly enough in the art of makeup.

There were many viewpoints on applying makeup. When one was meeting the elders, they certainly could not apply a makeup that was too over-the-top and coquettish. Instead, she should apply light make up to create a natural and rosy look to appear more mature and gracious. This would be more acceptable to mothers.

As expected, putting aside the family situation of the Qiao family, a lady like Qiao Nan could easily win Mother Tian’s heart. Other than family background, a young lady like Qiao Nan was an ideal daughter-in-law in Mother Tian’s mind.

Gentle and soft in her words, quiet temperament, presentable, and crisp-looking—she had the demeanor of a decent lady from a humble family.

As for her own daughter-in-law…

Initially, when her son married a daughter-in-law, Mother Tian had a feeling that she had another son instead of half a daughter!

Hence, Mother Tian unleashed all the motherly love in her heart on Qiao Nan.
