Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 996

996 Under Huge Pressure

As long as they could clarify this, he believed that they could definitely find out which school Qing Qing had been transferred to.

Feng Liang was so furious that he smashed the teacup. “Don’t talk about your auntie anymore. She has been spoiled by the maternal family. After her marriage, she has also been spoiled by your uncle-in-law.”

All this while, Feng Liang was aware of why Old Master Feng raised up Feng Cheng to be so naive. It was nonetheless because Feng Cheng would be akin to spilled water after she was married. He did not want Feng Cheng to spare too much thought for her husband’s family and then prod all the benefits to the Shi family.

If Feng Cheng was not that clear-minded to focus on her immediate family, she would definitely take care of the Feng family, which was her maternal family.

Feng Liang felt angriest about one matter. Twenty years had passed. Given Shi Peng’s intelligence, he must have seen through this arrangement and intention of the Feng family.

As a husband, he had not caused any change in his wife’s temperament during the past twenty years. What was Shi Peng thinking? Only Shi Peng would know.

Feng Liang was furious because the Feng family had raised Feng Cheng to be like that. After she was married into the Shi family, Shi Peng did not change her character at all. As a result, despite the fact that she could almost be a grandmother soon, Feng Cheng’s character and intellect remained exactly the same as when she was a lady in her maternal home. She was of no help to the Shi family. Similarly, she was unable to help the Feng family either. Feng Liang was very upset and worried about this.

At this point in time, if Feng Cheng was able to help even a little, Feng Liang would not have felt so depressed and angry.

During the National Day central authorities meeting this year, although Shi Peng did not come to the capital to participate, the chairman mentioned and praised him during the meeting.

Judging from this situation, Feng Liang knew that Shi Peng could definitely rise in the ranks.

Many years ago, Shi Peng had done very well in the army. He was even the strongest opponent of Zhai Yaohui at the time when the latter was promoted to chief.

Unexpectedly, Shi Peng’s performance would still be so eye-catching and outstanding after he left the army and fully took on a political role.

The Feng family definitely did not find a wrong uncle-in-law.

The problem was how could the Feng family make Shi Peng, this uncle-in-law, side with and help them more?

“Are we going to ask auntie now so that she can check with uncle-in-law? I feel that Qing Qing is quite close with uncle-in-law. Although auntie doesn’t know, it doesn’t mean that uncle-in-law doesn’t.”

Feng Meng felt that his family’s actions were too strange. Clearly, this was a family matter. Why did he have to tail Qiao Nan and observe her in order to find out Shi Qing’s whereabouts?

The sequence had been reversed, hadn’t it?

“Fine.” Feng Liang could not help but admit that Feng Meng’s words made sense. “I have also been muddled by your auntie to have made such a huge mistake.”

They were the initiators of this. They told Feng Cheng that Qiao Nan might be a very scheming young lady and Qing Qing was completely not Qiao Nan’s match.

It was true that they had spoken about this too much. They caused Feng Cheng to believe them. Even they, themselves, had forgotten that they actually had not interacted much with Qiao Nan. As such, they were not certain whether Qiao Nan was really so evil.

As Feng Cheng was muddled by the Feng family, her most immediate reaction when her daughter went missing was to blame it on Qiao Nan, thinking that Qiao Nan must have been the one who had hidden her daughter and wanted to harm her.

“Uncle, since that is the case, I shall return to the office directly. There are more projects that are under discussion recently. My dad will not be able to cope alone.”

“Fine, go back then.” If Feng Liang wished to progress further, he still had to rely on his second brother to give him financial support.

Qiao Nan gradually calmed down from the excitement of being the first one of her cohort to join the party. She was oblivious to what had happened. She also did not know that Feng Meng’s impression of her was quietly changing.

She only knew that this opportunity was hard to come by. Now, step by step and bit by bit, she had the chance to fulfill the wish of her previous life. At this time, what she needed to do most was to study well and use actions to prove her capability.

Qiao Nan took out the textbooks for the college entrance examination and studied continuously. She had been immersed in the library every day. Besides being missing in action during weekends and participating in some club activities from Monday to Friday, Qiao Nan was attending classes, in the library, or on the way to the library.

To those who knew her, Qiao Nan’s motivation to learn was extremely pressurizing.

“Damn, Qiao Nan is already a famous personality in the school. Look at the way she studies. I feel so ashamed for slacking.”

“Where is the promised happy college life?”

“I attended a social event yesterday. I feel so guilty.”

“I went clubbing yesterday. I feel so guilty.”

“I had lots of fun. Now, I’m so guilty. I totally agree.”

In the school, a good student that abided by the rules was always the teachers’ favorite.

Most importantly, after the kept woman scandal, the teachers did not know who Qiao Nan was but the principal did!

At the thought that Chief Zhai’s future daughter-in-law was currently a student of his school, the principal of Peking University felt quite stressed as well.

It was not that he wanted to provide Qiao Nan with special treatment to curry favor with the Zhai family and Chief Zhai.

If the principal of Peking University really did that, Qiao Nan would have long become the class committee member, student union member, or been nominated by the class to join the party.

The principal did not do any of these things.

There were so many teachers and students in Peking University. The principal really could not say for sure that no problems existed in the school, that everyone had a good character, proper outlook, and value in life and morals and was honest and fair in managing matters.

The kept woman scandal involving Qiao Nan was untrue. It was a misunderstanding. However, no one could guarantee that this kind of problem completely did not exist in Peking University.

It was probable that Qiao Nan might see one or two more of such scandals occurring again in the school.

If Qiao Nan told Chief Zhai about this, how would Chief Zhai view Peking University in the future?

Qiao Nan was supposed to be a student of the school. However, in the eyes of the principal, she was akin to a prosecutor. He was under great pressure.

He could only blame it on the fact that Zhai Yaohui was a very formidable figure. However, he was not based in the capital. If anything were to happen, the principal could not contact him to clear the misunderstanding even if he wanted to. It would be very difficult to do so.

The principal of Peking University had considered this matter for a long time. No matter what, he would not bestow special care or favor to Qiao Nan. He disliked this kind of behavior.

Naturally, the school would treat every student fairly and give them equal opportunities. Qiao Nan would thus have to depend on her own capability.

Nevertheless, aside from this, the principal felt that it was not a serious problem to request the teachers to pay more attention to Qiao Nan’s studies.

Qiao Nan had thus received care from the top figures. True enough, the few teachers and professors who were teaching Qiao Nan paid a little more attention and care to her.
