1190 Create Hindrances
Finally, he found a little disciple that he liked and wanted to protect. However, the other party did not even give him a chance to do so. As such, he became more dissatisfied with Zhai Sheng.
At the mention of Peng Yu, there was a slight change in Zhai Sheng’s expression. “I’ve encountered some problems, but, so far, they have already been settled.” Zhai Sheng had met many people before. However, Peng Yu was far from the ordinary. He was very scheming and cunning.
Even a character such as Zhai Sheng nearly fell into Peng Yu’s trap.
If Peng Yu had not secretly done many things that created hindrances to Zhai Sheng, Zhai Sheng would not have missed the birth of his triplets and also their full-month celebration.
Elder Lin snorted. He was not totally dissatisfied with this answer. The problem had only been temporarily resolved. However, his little disciple only gave birth once in her lifetime, and the three babies only had one full-month celebration in their lifetimes.
As the husband and father, he was not present on either occasion.
How could Zhai Sheng make up for these two matters?
Zhai Hua and Miao Jing faced each other. They had already heard before that Elder Lin was very protective of his calf and doted on Qiao Nan very much.
However, hearsay was one matter and seeing for themselves was another.
Unexpectedly, Elder Lin was extremely protective of Nan Nan. For those who were unaware, they would very likely misunderstand that Nan Nan was a granddaughter Elder Lin had left wandering outside, and it was not convenient for him to acknowledge her.
Fortunately, Miao Jing and Zhai Hua’s thoughts about this matter were the same as Elder Lin’s. Zhai Sheng did not come back for these two important occasions. Even his mother and sister could not help him.
No one knew how frightened Zhai Hua felt two months ago when Qiao Nan lay on the delivery bed and fainted on the spot after giving birth to Er Bao due to excessive use of energy.
She had seen many lives and deaths but had not experienced it happening to her close kin. She did not have the confidence and strength to watch helplessly as Qiao Nan struggled on the verge of life and death.
The three babies were already more than two months old, but Zhai Hua still frequently dreamed of the scene wherein both the mother and babies were on the verge of death because Qiao Nan had no more energy after giving birth to Er Bao and almost suffocated San Bao, who was then still in the womb.
What if there was an occurrence of an accident or a situation that was not within control on that day? If Qiao Nan and San Bao did not manage to survive, what should she do? How was she going to face her family, as well as Da Bao and Er Bao, who had just been born?
She was afraid that she was the one who had caused Da Bao and Er Bao to become children without a mother.
After meeting Zhai Sheng, Zhai Hua blamed all these worries and fears on Zhai Sheng without any second thoughts.
Zhai Sheng did not come back in time. Otherwise, everything that she had faced would have been Zhai Sheng’s business. She would, at most, stay by Zhai Sheng’s side to cheer for Qiao Nan.
In short, what happened that day really scared Zhai Hua out of her wits.
She was the only one by Qiao Nan’s side. What if Qiao Nan required any surgery? Zhai Hua feared that she, as the sister-in-law, would have the chance the sign the papers to approve the surgery under those circ.u.mstances.
Fortunately, everything was over now. Qiao Nan had tided over that difficult time and even safely gave birth to three babies. As such, the Zhai family had three babies all at once.
“Peng Yu, that young lad, is arrogant and high-handed. He only cares about the outcome and not the process. Hence, there is nothing that he cannot do. There are only things that you won’t expect. Forget it this time. You have to be more careful next time. After having one exchange, Peng Yu’s next move toward you will definitely be worse. When that time comes, getting away from danger is a separate matter. Be careful that he will bite off a huge piece of your flesh.”
At the mention of Peng Yu, this junior, Elder Lin looked extremely sullen.
If this lad could time travel back to the ancient times, he would definitely be a formidable figure and the king of killers.
Clearly, when that lad was still young, he looked so fair, crisp-looking, and well-mannered. He did not even show his teeth when he smiled. He was gentler and quieter than a young lady.
Why did he become so evil after growing up?
Lin Yuankang could not figure out what blow Peng Yu had experienced or if the Peng family did any foolish things to make Peng Yu, who used to be quite fine, become so deformed now.
As Qiao Nan’s master, no matter how much Lin Yuankang disliked Zhai Sheng, with Peng Yu as a comparison, Lin Yuankang could not refuse to admit that Zhai Sheng, this disciple-in-law, was actually not bad. At the very least, he was much better than Peng Yu.
The Peng family returned to the capital a few years before the Zhai family did.
One had to know. Seven or eight years ago, Peng Yu and Zhai Sheng were two boys famous for being good in their studies in the quad of Ping Cheng.
Zhai Sheng was older than Peng Yu by a couple of years. He was more mature, while Peng Yu was initially a bright and cheery boy, who made people feel that he was more friendly and approachable than Zhai Sheng.
Logically, the two of them had such a stark contrast. Peng Yu should be more popular than Zhai Sheng in the quad.
In fact, this was really the case at the beginning.
Many people had felt that Peng Yu was very good-tempered and approachable and thus became friends with him.
Strangely, within one month, most of those who had chosen to become closer to Peng Yu would become biased toward Zhai Sheng more. After playing with Zhai Sheng, they would take their hat off to him and acknowledge him as their little boss. No one would have any thoughts of betrayal thereafter.
In the quad, there were many fights and quarrels between children. The adults had never taken them to heart. They felt that the children would reconcile within a day after they argued and kicked up a fuss.
The adults thought that way but the friends.h.i.+p between children might not really be so pure and simple.
The characters of the Zhai family members were usually more mature and calmer. Although they were already qualified to return to the capital long ago, Zhai Yaohui had been finding ways to delay it so that they could continue staying in Ping Cheng.
The Peng family was different. They were keen to perform and compete for more resources.
Due to this, five years ago, when the Peng family met the criteria to return to the capital, the whole family moved to the capital without a word. Also, the fact that they had stayed in the quad of Ping Cheng before had unknowingly been wiped clean.
Judging by the behavior of the Peng family, clear-minded and sharp individuals knew that the Peng family definitely did not intend to come back to Ping Cheng after going to the capital. They did not even think of coming back to Ping Cheng for retirement.
Perhaps there were still some benefits to the Peng family by returning to the capital five years ago.
The Peng family could not stand in the way of the Zhai family when they were in Ping Cheng. Five years later, in the capital, Peng Yu had completed the mission that he did not manage to when he was a child. He had fulfilled his wish and caused Zhai Sheng to have a hard fall.
It could be said that over so many years, Peng Yu was the only one who could make Zhai Sheng suffer.
Zhai Hua put away the diapers of the three babies properly, lest someone throw it away. “Peng Yu… I’ve not seen him for a few years. This little lad has become more cunning and evil.”
At the mention of Peng Yu, Zhai Hua clearly remembered that she did not have a good impression of Qiao Nan because of Peng Yu. She even doubted Qiao Nan before. Her first impression of Qiao Nan was affected by Peng Yu.
