He didn’t expect this girl to be Zhai Hua’s daughter. She didn’t look like Zhai Hua. Perhaps she looked more like her father.
Upon seeing Tian Dong again, Qiao Nan was shocked. Compared to the Tian Dong in her dreams, Tian Dong in reality seemed to be colder. His suit and cold eyebrows revealed that Tian Dong was a cold and difficult person to approach. Tian Dong’s coldness and Zhai Sheng’s coldness felt completely different.
Zhai Sheng had a sense of military might. On the other hand, Tian Dong had a compelling sense of decisiveness and restraint.
The Tian Dong in her dreams was a successful businessman, so much so that he could make Qiao Nan rich as well. In the commercial world that was full of sudden and perplexing changes, Tian Dong, as a returning Chinese businessman, could firmly occupy the market and become a leader. This proved that even if it was in a dream, Tian Dong was never a weak junior who could be easily bullied.
However, no matter how she compared, the Tian Dong in her dreams was more approachable than the Tian Dong in reality.
As Qiao Nan sized Tian Dong up, Tian Dong similarly noticed Qiao Nan’s presence. Tian Dong was actually quite ‘familiar’ with the Zhai family. However, only Qiao Nan was quite foreign to him. Perhaps he knew of Zhai Sheng’s situation as he smiled at him and asked, “When are you going to invite me to your wedding banquet?”
Zhai Hua’s daughter got into a car accident. Apart from Zhai Sheng’s other half, Tian Dong couldn’t think of another person who could stay by Zhai Sheng’s side now and care about Jiajia’s situation together with the Zhai family.
“A month later.” Zhai Sheng didn’t rebut him. “If you want to attend the wedding banquet, you have to give me your address, right? How long are you staying in the country for? When are you going back?” The Tian family had been developing abroad. Apart from the year when Old Tian passed away that Tian Dong and his family returned to the country for a month, they were always overseas. “If you’re in a rush, you might really not be able to attend my wedding banquet.”
Tian Dong frowned. “A month? No matter what, I’ll think of ways to attend your wedding banquet.” Tian Dong returned to the country only for business. Now that the country was getting more developed, Tian Dong felt that his business could get a foothold here. For convenience’s sake, not only did Tian Dong buy a car in Ping Cheng but also a house.
Initially, the Tian family had a house in Ping Cheng. Everyone thought that since the Tian family went abroad when Tian Dong was a child, they would have sold their house in Ping Cheng. However, the Tian family didn’t do so.
It wasn’t until Tian Dong was thirty-five years old that he returned to the country for the first time to intervene in business. That was when Tian Dong sold the Tian family’s house. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. Tian Dong didn’t seem to have any intention to buy back the Tian family’s house. Instead, like an ordinary person, he bought a big house in a district with good security to act as his temporary lodging when he returned to the country for business.
Tian Dong wrote down his address for Zhai Sheng. “I’m staying here now. My number’s below. We can keep in contact more if there are opportunities in the future.”
The Tian family did business, whereas the Zhais were officials. If the Tian family’s business could receive a little care from the Zhai family, their journey would definitely be smooth sailing. Even if they couldn’t get the care of the Zhai family, it would definitely not be wrong for the Tian family to have a good relationship with the Zhai family.
Zhai Sheng received Tian Dong’s paper. “What happened today has caused you quite a lot of trouble as well. We will keep in contact in the future.”
After chatting casually with Zhai Sheng and greeting the rest of the Zhai family simply, Tian Dong left. He was very polite throughout. However, it seemed that he wasn’t particularly close to the Zhai family.
After Tian Dong left, Miao Jing, who had been leaning against Zhai Yaohui, suddenly sighed loudly. As for the reason, aside from Miao Jing herself, only Zhai Yaohui, her husband, would understand.
After a long time, Zhai Hua suddenly said, “Damn. Dongzi left just like that? I didn’t expect Dongzi, who was quieter than a girl when he was young, to be taller than Zhai Sheng after growing up. I really can’t tell. We were all childhood playmates. How could he leave without saying hello to me? That’s too unjust!”
She suddenly saw her childhood playmate, and her daughter got into a car accident. Zhai Hua was distracted and her IQ was lacking. She was especially agitated when she saw the childhood playmate who was often bullied to tears by her had grown up into a man she had to look up at. She always thought that even if they were to meet a thousand years later, Tian Dong should be as weak as when he was young and needed someone to protect him.
Unexpectedly, when they met again when they were middle-aged, even if Tian Dong didn’t say anything to her and was just standing at the side quietly, she actually felt the pressure?!
Upon thinking about the pressure, Zhai Hua’s heart raced. “What did Dongzi eat overseas? He’s so tall now. Did he get hormonal shots?!” He must have resorted to unspeakable means. Otherwise, how would Dongzi grow up to be so manly? His figure was no worse than an army veteran!
Seeing that after her daughter met a man like Wei De, she still had such a normal reaction when seeing other men, Miao Jing could only sigh heavily.
“Dad, Mom. I’m going to see Jiajia.” Zhai Hua paid attention to Tian Dong only for a few seconds. In her heart, only Jiajia was the most important. Thankfully, Jiajia’s injuries weren’t serious. The doctor said that she could be discharged from the hospital not too long later. Otherwise, Zhai Hua wouldn’t be able to have such a reaction even if the emperor was here, let alone Tian Dong’s appearance today.
Miao Jing nodded. “Go and accompany Jiajia. She must be frightened by what happened today. I’ll get the auntie to give Jiajia more supplements.” Jiajia was growing up. Now that she was injured, how else would she be able to keep her body well if not for supplements?
To the Zhai family, Tian Dong’s appearance was just a small episode. However, for Qiao Nan, Tian Dong’s appearance wasn’t that simple. It was just that she was hiding a lot of words in her heart. It wasn’t convenient for her to tell anyone, so she could only hold them back in silence.
After returning to the Zhai family, Zhai Sheng pulled Qiao Nan’s hand and wanted to have a private conversation with her. “You know Dongzi?” Nan Nan’s reaction when she saw Dongzi today was quite different.
Qiao Nan froze before shaking her head to deny. “No. I saw him for the first time today. I just find it strange. I didn’t expect Sister Zhai Hua to know such an outstanding man. You’ve known each other since you were young. Is he on good terms with Sister Zhai Hua?”
“It could be considered that we’ve known each other since we were young. However, their family went abroad within a few years. Dongzi grew up overseas. Their relationship? They had a good time playing with each other back then.”
Back then, everyone was young and knew nothing but having fun.
