“Chenxi, I’ll bring you to the doctor tomorrow.” Qi Minlan had no choice but to say such words. It was obvious that Qiu Chenxi was not thinking rationally.

If they really got remarried, it would indeed be wrong for Zhai Sheng to be with another woman. But before that happened, it was up to Zhai Sheng whomever he wanted to be with. No one else had a say in it. Even though her daughter was Zhai Sheng’s ex-wife, she could not control whom Zhai Sheng got together with.

“Mom, I’m not crazy. I’m very normal and I know what I’m saying. I want to make a call. I want to call the Zhai family. I want to call my parents-in-law. I don’t believe that they’ll stand by the side and not do anything once they know that Zhai Sheng’s giving up on me for a mere caretaker! Don’t they despise me for the mistakes that I made in the past? But it’s even more shameful for Zhai Sheng to be with that caretaker! They have to do something about it!”

As long as the Zhai family disagreed, Zhai Sheng would never be able to get together with Qiao Nan!

“A caretaker? What do you mean? Does Zhai Sheng really have someone in mind?” That was unexpected, yet expected. Qi Minlan’s heart pounded. Ever since Chenxi had gotten divorced from Zhai Sheng, she knew that this day would come eventually, but she had not expected that ‘that day’ would be today.

“She’s not a partner. Zhai Sheng must just be playing around with that caretaker. That woman’s already forty and is an old woman. I heard that she didn’t even graduate from high school. How is it possible that Zhai Sheng’s serious with her? I’m sure he’s just playing around. The most ridiculous thing is that that caretaker thinks that Zhai Sheng really likes her and is trying to fight with me for Zhai Sheng. I’m going to let that woman know what the real world is like!”

Given Qiu Chenxi’s insistence and stubbornness, Qi Minlan felt a little lost. No matter how much her daughter erred, she was still better than a caretaker, after all, right? After learning about this, the Zhai family had better rein in Zhai Sheng. He was already at the age where he should be a father, but he might just commit a mistake if they did not do anything.

As such, it was at this ungodly hour that the Zhai family’s phone started ringing nonstop until someone picked it up.

The Zhai family’s caretaker was in the most awkward position. She was naturally the one to answer the phone at such a late hour. She would only hand the phone over to the old chief if it was important. “Hello?” The caretaker yawned. It was already past one. Who was so crazy to call them at this hour? “Hello, this is the Zhai family. Who are you looking for? Is anything the matter?”

“I’m the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law. I’m looking for my parents-in-law...”

With that, the caretaker slammed the phone down without a second of hesitation. Yes, she was a newbie who had been hired just a few months ago, but this did not mean that she would be easily deceived. She knew just who the old chief had in his family.

The old chief had a son and a daughter. His son was brilliant and had become a chief in his own right and had only left recently to recuperate. As for the old chief’s daughter, she was already married and stayed in this house. But very soon, she would be divorced since there was no way she would lose her divorce lawsuit.

The Zhai family’s family tree was as simple as that. The old chief did not have a daughter-in-law. This phone call was indeed ridiculous! And she was even calling them her parents-in-law! She must have dreamed so much about marrying into the Zhai family that she had made such a call.

Tired, the caretaker yawned and squinted, preparing to return to bed. Just as she was about to return to her bed, the phone that she had just hung up rang again. “Again?” The caretaker stared at the phone in frustration, not wanting to pick it up.

It was not right for her not to pick it up, but she did not dare to pull the landline out either. Yet, she was afraid that the calls would wake the Zhai family up.

Indeed, Zhai Yaohui had been awoken by the calls. He opened the door and asked, “What’s the matter? Why aren’t you picking up the phone?”

“Old Chief, I’m a little confused about this call. There’s a woman calling you her father-in-law, and calling madam her mother-in-law. She’s looking for the both of you...” Did the old chief and his wife really have a daughter-in-law? Was that the person Chief Zhai had just found?

Zhai Yaohui put on his clothes and walked over. “Where’s it from?”

“Locally.”

“Locally?” If Qiao Nan had called, it would be a foreign call, and not from Ping Cheng. “All right. Go and have some rest. I’ll pick up the phone.” Zhai Yaohui decided to pick up the call in case Zhai Sheng had gotten into some trouble. “Hello?”

“Dad!” Qiu Chenxi was overcome with emotions when she heard Zhai Yaohui’s voice.

Qiu Chenxi’s one word was enough to wake Zhai Yaohui up. “You’ve got the wrong number.” With that, Zhai Yaohui did exactly what the caretaker had done and hung up the phone. Zhai Yaohui did not think that there was a need to waste his breath on a person like Qiu Chenxi.

He had just hung up the phone before the phone rang again. The caretaker could not help but pull the blanket over her head. Anyway, the old chief was taking care of this matter.

Zhai Yaohui was more thorough than the caretaker. The caretaker dared not pull out the landline but Zhai Yaohui did. Anyway, most people used mobile phones nowadays. An outsider like Qiu Chenxi did not know the Zhai family’s mobile phone numbers.

After unplugging the landline, the Zhai family finally had a good night’s rest. action

When Zhai Yaohui lay back down on his bed, Miao Jing moved over and asked blurrily, “Who called us in the middle of the night? Is anything wrong?”

Zhai Yaohui patted Miao Jing and instructed her to get a good rest. “There’s nothing wrong. They just got the wrong number. Hurry and sleep. Tomorrow’s the last court session of Zhai Hua’s lawsuit against Wei De. We’ll finally get closure to this. We have to be with Zhai Hua tomorrow.”

“You’re right.” Miao Jing answered breezily. Hua Hua would finally be free of that bast*rd tomorrow. Sigh. She had an experience of that because of Zhai Sheng. Anyway, Hua Hua already had her daughter, Jiajia. She would let Hua Hua make her own decision as to whether she wanted to get remarried.

If Hua Hua was lucky enough, she would definitely support her. If Hua Hua did not intend to do so, she would not force her either. Zhai Sheng was already of this age, but fate could not be stopped. There had been no use for her to urge him in the past. There were some things that she could never understand about her children no matter how much she thought about them.
