Chapter 976 Go Ahead to Ask
“Well…” Shi Qing rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you say that Wei De has no siblings but an adopted sister? Could it be that the Wei family wanted a daughter, so they adopted her?”
Qiao Nan was silent. This explanation was not entirely impossible. But in her opinion, the chances of it were too small. “I don’t know. Actually, I have always been very curious about Wei De’s sister. Sister Zhai Hua has not been to Wei De’s house and she does not know anything about his family. She only learns about his family through Wei De.”
In this case, Sister Zhai Hua only knew whatever Wei De told her.
For that alone, it meant that whatever Sister Zhai Hua heard from Wei De might not be reliable. “It is rare that there are such kindhearted people in this world. Look at Wei De’s behavior after he dated Sister Zhai Hua. Could it be that Wei De is the sour apple on a good stock?” Qiao Nan pulled at her hair. “Don’t laugh at me. You should know what kind of person my mom is.”
She was her mother’s daughter, given birth by her.
When she had been through rebirth, the doctor had told her father and her specifically that she was undernourished and was starved by her mother.
She did not have a good childhood, but her childhood days might be better than Wei De’s. One would be so heartless to one’s own child, so how would one be good to an adopted child?
“Wei De’s parents are very generous while Wei De haggles over every ounce. Alright, let’s take it that Wei De has gone astray. What about his sister? In the conservative countryside, it is a serious matter to have a child out of wedlock. Up until now, she does not know who Wei Wei’s father is. Wei De’s parents may be good-natured, but why did they fail terribly as parents and did not teach their children well?”
She could understand if Wei De was the only problematic person in the family. However, the adopted daughter had lots of problems as well. Qiao Nan would not believe that the Wei family had no issues with educating their children.
Even if there were sour apples on a good stock, it would not be to that extent.
Shi Qing shook her head. “What you said seemed to make sense. But other than that, do you have other thoughts about it?”
Qiao Nan shook her head helplessly. “No, I simply feel that the Wei family is odd. This is why I decided to look at these letters and photos. Actually, I feel that if there is really something wrong with the Wei family, the best solution will be to make a trip to Wei De’s house in the countryside and get firsthand information. By then, if something is wrong with the Wei family or Wei De, there is no way that Wei De will be able to hide from us.”
“Is there a need to do that?” Must they really make a trip to Wei De’s house in the countryside?
“Looking at how bewitched Sister Zhai Hua is, do you think there is a need to do that or not?” Qiao Nan looked at the photos one by one. “This must be our blind spot. We dislike Wei De, but we fail to look into the Wei family’s situation. A woman must be careful in picking her future husband. It is as serious as going through another reincarnation. We must take things seriously and it is better to know more about the other party.”
Shi Qing touched her chin. Qiao Nan seemed to make sense. “When shall we go to Wei De’s hometown?” Brother Zhai had gone back to the army on a mission. He would not have the time to meddle with this.
Chief Zhai was a busy man, and Auntie Miao would not do this by herself.
If Qiao Nan wanted to find out everything about the Wei family, she would have to make the trip herself.
Qiao Nan pulled a long face at Shi Qing’s words. “I don’t even have the time to go home. I want to go to Wei De’s hometown to investigate, but I am helpless.” She wanted to do it, but she did not have the time.
Shi Qing gave Qiao Nan a light slap on her body. “How about I help you with it?”
“What do you intend to do?” She did not have time, while Shi Qing had to transfer to the PLA National Defence University. The management was very strict. Shi Qing would only be busier than her.
“Wait for my good news.” Shi Qing picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Zhu Baoguo. Yes, it is me. Didn’t you previously mention that you know someone who is a private detective? I have a business for you. How about that?”
Qiao Nan’s eyes lit up. Private detective?
There was finally a way! After she was through rebirth, she had almost forgotten that there was an occupation called the private detectives.
As long as they had money, it was not so difficult to investigate on Wei De.
Zhu Baoguo was still angry with Shi Qing. He growled upon hearing her voice. “It is the National Day holiday now. My friend has gone for his holiday. He is busy. He won’t accept this job!” Zhu Baoguo hung up the phone immediately. Shi Qing stared angrily at the phone.
She needed to show Zhu Baoguo who was the boss. She must have been too nice to him in the past. How dared he hang up the phone on her!
Judging from Shi Qing’s expression, Qiao Nan knew that it was unsuccessful.
Shi Qing smiled sheepishly. “Don’t worry, I-I will call Zhu Baoguo again. Even though he will not listen to me, after I transfer to the PLA National Defence University, I will show him who the boss is. I promise you that he will do a good job for us.”
“Forget it.” Qiao Nan shook her head. “Speaking of it, you have reminded me that there is something else that I can do. I will give Sister Zhai Hua a call tomorrow. As for the investigation, let’s talk about it later.” Qiao Nan yawned, feeling sleepy.
When Qiao Nan made the phone call tomorrow, Zhai Hua answered the call and Zhai Sheng was by her side as well. Since the two of them were around, Zhai Hua switched it to speaker mode so that Zhai Sheng could listen to the conversation. “Qiao Nan, what’s the matter? It’s just nice that Zhai Sheng is here as well.”
“Brother Zhai.” Qiao Nan called out to him.
“Yes,” Zhai Sheng replied tenderly.
Zhai Hua turned grim at the public display of affection between Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan. She felt like throwing him out of her office. She hated people who displayed their affection for their loved ones publicly.
He knew that she had yet to resolve her issue with Wei De and was still upset about it. How could he be so inconsiderate of her feelings?
“Brother Zhai, it is good that you are here. I have a question to ask Sister Zhai Hua. You can listen to it as well. If Sister Zhai Hua is unsure, perhaps you may know about it.” Two of the big shots in the camp were present. This was good news to Qiao Nan.
“What is it?”
“Brother Zhai, Sister Zhai Hua, are there any soldiers in the camp who are from the same hometown as Wei De? He could not be the only soldier from his hometown, right?” There was a glitter in Zhai Sheng’s eyes. “What do you want to know about Wei De?” Zhai Hua knitted her eyebrows, feeling perplexed. “Qiao Nan, if you want to know more about Wei De, there is no need to ask other people. You can ask me directly.”
She would not hide anything from Qiao Nan, especially about her relationship with Wei De. Qiao Nan knew everything about them.
As long as Qiao Nan asked her, she would not hide it from her no matter how embarrassing it was.
