Chapter 971: Stepping on Your Achilles’ Heel

Chapter 971 Stepping on Your Achilles’ Heel

At that time, Old Master Feng brought up this matter suddenly. In addition, Feng Liang, her biological elder brother, was going through some job-related transitions recently. Feng Cheng thus relented and agreed to Old Master Feng’s suggestion. She was also thinking that her daughter was not young anymore and it was time to pick a good man for her. The two could get engaged first and then interact with each other thereafter. When her daughter was of an appropriate age, it was not bad to get married and have children then.

After all, this was an experience in life that every woman had to face.

However, when Feng Cheng calmed down, she felt that this matter came too soon. She had been muddleheaded to agree at that point in time. It was thus not strange that Qing Qing reacted strongly to it.

Many years ago, Feng Cheng and Shi Peng already knew each other before they dated. They had some interactions during childhood and only started dating later after they grew up and studied in the same school.

“I’ve already said my reasons. It’s not that we don’t have other ladies in the Feng family, but I don’t think it’s appropriate.” Old Master Feng was not in a good mood these few days. “I’ve also told you clearly the family background of that man. I’m the one who calls the shots in the Feng family now. I wish to pass down the authority to your elder brother. However, if another lady in the Feng family gets married to that man, I am not sure if your brother will be able to take my place after I relinquish it. If that person is not my closest next-of-kin, his heart may not be with us.”

“But…” Feng Cheng began to understand Old Master Feng’s intention. “Qing Qing is not willing to. I don’t have a choice either. Although it is for the sake of the Feng family, the prerequisite is that Qing Qing has to like him and be a willing party, right?”

“What do you know?” Old Master Feng said unhappily. “You’re already a mother. Don’t tell me you really believe that love and romance are most important? Qing Qing is young and doesn’t know this. You, as a mother, should advise Qing Qing well. If this marriage is successful, it will benefit both the Feng family and Qing Qing. Don’t you hope that your daughter will marry well? Do you want to let Qing Qing do as she wishes? Qing Qing is so pure and simple at heart. All of us know that. If Qing Qing marries a poor man in the future, you might not mind providing for your daughter, but are you willing to provide for your son-in-law and his family?”.

No matter what, he must not let his maternal granddaughter marry someone that had nothing.

Feng Cheng’s mouth moved. She nearly could not respond. “Dad, you’re exaggerating. Qing Qing is simple and pure. She is also naive. I don’t deny that. However, I know that besides liking Zhai Sheng in the past, she didn’t like anyone else.”

Her daughter did not even have someone that she liked. Did her father need to imagine Qing Qing’s future partner to be so lousy such that he did not have money and house, and that he also needed his mother-in-law to provide for him?

She did not believe that her daughter’s judgment of people would be so poor. “Dad, you’re being paranoid. I believe that this won’t happen to Qing Qing.”

With Zhai Sheng, this bright pearl, before Qing Qing, she really did not believe that her daughter would take a liking to a broken stone by the roadside in the future.

“Believe?” Old Master Feng snorted. “If you don’t believe it now, forget it. When the time comes and this matter really happens, don’t come back crying to us.”

After Old Master Feng finished his words, he walked away feeling very vexed, leaving behind his back view for Feng Cheng.

In fact, the Feng family was responsible for raising their daughter and maternal granddaughter to be so naive.

The current problem was that, when Feng Cheng and Shi Qing used this ‘naivetés’ on the Feng family, Old Master Feng could not bring himself to feel happy.

Sitting in the study room, Old Master Feng started to reflect on whether he had done it wrongly in the past.

Compared to Qi Minlan, his own daughter Feng Cheng did not have anything worthy of mentioning

His daughter would not behave like Qi Minlan, who would run back to the maternal family to compete with her biological brother on the things in their father’s hands. Nevertheless, his daughter also did not have the capability and mind of Qi Minlan. She would not continuously pull strings for her own family.

From every single drink to every single bite, there is nothing that is not preordained. True enough, nothing is perfect in this world.

In fact, this wedding engagement was truly an opportunity for the Feng family.

The fiancé that Old Master Feng found for Shi Qing, although his family background was not as good as Zhai Sheng, it was not much worse off. The family of this man had risen in status recently. It seemed that they were going to progress further. This was an up and rising star.

In other words, if Shi Qing was not willing to, there would be many others who were more than willing

Old Master Feng’s plan was very simple. If Qiao Nan really treated Shi Qing as a good friend and was not willing to let Shi Qing sacrifice her lifetime happiness for the sake of family interests, then Qiao Nan would persuade Zhai Sheng to help Feng Liang climb up the ranks.

As such, the Feng family would naturally interfere less in Shi Qing’s marriage. They would let Shi Qing find someone that she was satisfied with.

If Qiao Nan and Shi Qing were not on such good terms and she refused to persuade the Zhai family to help Feng Liang, there was no issue too. When Shi Qing got engaged to the young lad, the latter’s family would also support Feng Liang and help the latter progress further.

Old Master Feng just wanted an outcome. He did not care about the process.

Unfortunately, it seemed that neither of his plans would work.

Old Master Feng could not control or impact things at Qiao Nan’s end.

The day before, Feng Liang met Zhai Shengor rather, Zhai Sheng specially went to find Feng Liang.

Although Zhai Sheng was the junior, he pulled a long face and warned Feng Liang without any reservation. This made Feng Liang lost a lot of face.

Zhai Sheng clearly told Feng Liang that the Feng family should not be up to no good. Otherwise, the Feng family would not be able to receive any gain that they hoped for. He would also let the Feng family lose the things that they cared about most.

He had ways to pull Feng Liang up the ranks. On the other hand, he could pull Feng Liang down as well. He could simply get in touch with someone who wished to replace Feng Liang and take the latter’s current role. This matter would be settled then.

As Zhai Sheng stepped directly on Feng Liang’s Achilles’ heel, Feng Liang could not help feeling fearful.

Because of Zhai Sheng’s warning, regardless of how many plans the Feng family had, they dared not target directly at Qiao Nan. They also dared not bring up or insist that Qiao Nan become their fictive kin. They could only make a veiled attack and give various hints to save the ‘nation’ through indirect means.

neans.

That was how Shi Qing’s engagement came about.

If they really could not rely on the Zhai family, Old Master Feng wanted Feng Liang to rise further in the ranks and improve the status of the Feng family in the capital, letting Shi Qing get engaged and married to that man was undoubtedly the best and fastest method.

It was a pity that, no matter how good old Master Feng’s plan was, it was completely not within his control on how things would develop.

Old Master Feng was totally unaware that Shi Qing had listened to Qiao Nan’s suggestion. Under the assistance of the Zhai family, they were secretly settling the administrative matters to transfer Shi Qing to PLA National Defence University.

When all the paperwork had been settled, Shi Qing would just simply inform the Feng family about the situation. It would be too late for Old Master Feng to stop her by then.

“Nan Nan, will you be going back to Ping Cheng during the seven days of National Day holiday?” Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng, the father and son pair, would be extremely busy. As for Miao Jing, unless the events called for her presence, she did not need to attend them. She thus had much more spare time than Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng.
