Chapter 973 - What Do You Desire from Him?
Earlier on, Qiao Nan had used the school’s public phone to call Zhai Hua. Hence, if Zhai Hua wanted to look for Qiao Nan now, dialing back that number would not work.
In fact, she had been pondering if she should look for Zhai Sheng to get Qiao Nan’s contact number. It was just nice that Qiao Nan took the initiative to call her.
“I have heard about your situation from Mom. Wei De sent you many photos and wrote you many letters? Did you keep those items that he had sent you previously?” “Yes.” She did not throw any of them away. Qiao Nan sighed. True enough, that was the case.
“In this case, if you don’t mind, send me all the letters and items from Wei De. Also, if Wei De sends anything to the camp for you, don’t read them. Send them all to me directly.” It was not appropriate, but it was also most appropriate to send these items to her.
These things that Wei De sent to Zhai Hua made both Zhai Hua and the Zhai family feel vexed. Even Zhai Sheng might not be able to keep his cool when he faced them.
Qiao Nan was considered an outsider. She was also a student. Regardless of her thoughts, she could not possibly do anything to Wei De.
Hence, it would be safest for Qiao Nan to take care of these items.
Zhai Hua was able to understand her point. “Fine, I will send the items to you. Nan Nan, I really want to calm down, but…” Wei De had been sending her letters every two to three days. The heart that she had quieted down with much difficulty was, again, wavering.
The items were already in her hands. She could not help but look at them.
As such, Zhai Hua was feeling very troubled and at a loss of what to do.
“You don’t need to explain. I understand.” Qiao Nan interrupted Zhai Hua’s words of self-blame. “Sister Zhai Hua, I understand. But have you seen enough to sort out your thoughts? You should still remember what I have told you before. I didn’t advise you to break up with Wei De. This is because I hope that you can reconsider your relationship with Wei De after you have truly calmed down. You trust the feelings between the two of you. You have thus promised me. Sister Zhai Hua, do you think Wei De’s behavior shows that he trusts your relationship? Sister Zhai Hua, if you put yourself in Wei De’s shoes, will you keep sending letters to the other party in the same way?”
Regarding the matter about Wei De, Sister Zhai Hua was not firm and it was especially easy for her mind to waver.
After much difficulty, Qiao Nan managed to coax Sister Zhai Hua into having a cooling-off period. However, Wei De had to make his presence known from time to time. Qiao Nan’s head was hurting badly too.
The more that was the case, the more Qiao Nan could not look up to Wei De. He was an eyesore.
There was a saying that pushing too hard would not get you any sale.
The more anxious Wei De was, the more he cared about it and refused to let go, the more people looked down on him and felt that he had a problem.
“I…” Zhai Hua was stunned for a while. If she were Wei De, what would she do if she were in such a situation?
After thinking for a long time, Zhai Hua, whose mind was in a whirlwind, said, “I think that I wouldn’t do what Wei De is doing now.” Although she wanted to sort out her relationship with Wei De, she did not do anything that would hinder Wei De or make his life difficult. She did not force Wei De to bow to her.
Zhai Hua had returned to the army and did not leave the place for a long time. In addition, given the Zhai family’s attitude toward Wei De, many of Zhai Hua’s childhood friends had called to ask Zhai Hua whether she was still in a relationship with Wei De.
Wei De could receive their help as he was Zhai Hua’s boyfriend.
If Wei De were to lose this layer of connection, they would not be so silly to gift him money.
Zhai Hua did not clarify whether she was still on good terms with or whether she had already broken up with Wei De. She only replied briefly without giving a straight answer. She said that she had been busy recently and did not have time to think about personal matters.
These were her childhood friends. Upon hearing Zhai Hua’s words, these friends understood that, at this point in time, they still could not dump Wei De at least and let him rely on himself to carry on. They still had to guide him every now and then.
It was also due to the phone calls from her childhood friends that Zhai Hua wanted very much to call Qiao Nan to seek the latter’s opinions.
A woman in love had a negative IQ. Nevertheless, the occasionally sober Zhai Hua still had some sanity to speak of.
She had once boastfully expressed to Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng that Wei De was capable but lacked the opportunity.
However, was that the truth?
In the past, for the sake of Wei De, she had pleaded with her younger brother to open a back door for Wei De.
Now, she also requested her childhood friends to guide Wei De along in making money. In fact, this was really not much different from getting someone to send money to Wei De. She believed that he was capable but lacked the opportunity. However, why did he need people to guide him along at all times? Could he not find his own success through his own capability?
Zhai Hua dared to swear that, if Zhai Sheng, this biological brother, were to resign as a soldier and become a businessman one day, Zhai Sheng would not need these people’s help. He would become successful through his own ability.
Other people could achieve that but not Wei De. This only proved that Wei De was not as capable and talented as she had imagined him to be.
“To hear you say this, I just want to say that it’s very hard to come by.” It seemed that the one month of cooling-off period had been quite useful for Sister Zhai Hua. “Wei De did something that you will not do. You can’t refuse to admit that Wei De does not care more for you than you do him. The feelings that Wei De have for you are also not more than yours for him. Sister Zhai Hua, you have done and fought so much for Wei De. You do not mind Wei De’s family background or his looks. Isn’t it because you are yearning for the care and feelings that Wei De has for you?”
At the mention of this, Qiao Nan shunned Wei De tremendously. “Sister Zhai Hua, don’t mind me for being blunt in my words. After all, Brother Zhai and you are biological siblings. You grew up with Brother Zhai. I really don’t understand. You are used to seeing a man like Brother Zhai, but why are you so blind to take a liking to Wei De? Wei De’s family background is really not good. At least, the two children in my family are biological. Wei De’s family has an adopted daughter with a muddled background. Wei De is not good-looking either!”
Regardless of gender, the future generation was very particular with looks.
As such, Qiao Nan, who was used to such situations, could not understand why Zhai Hua’s eyes would be so bad to have taken a liking to Wei De.
Wei De had neither looks nor substance. He did not have anything that was desirable. Sister Zhai Hua’s status was high and she was very capable, yet she had to take a liking to Wei De. What did she see in Wei De?
Feelings? That would be a joke.
The feelings that Wei De had for her could not be compared to those that Sister Zhai Hua had for him at all.
Wei De was not the best in giving something that Sister Hua Hua was yearning for. What was there for Sister Hua Hua to continue with this relationship?
Zhai Hua’s ugly expression revealed a bitter smile. “Yes, he is not good-looking. He can’t be compared to my brother at all.”
