Where’s This Lousy Good From?
Chen Jun was enraged. He had not been able to find Qiao Nan's partner, but Xiao Xu had turned out on his own accord and had claimed that this was his house! Was it possible for Chen Jun not to misunderstand him?
Chen Jun did not look carefully at Xiao Xu and thus failed to realize that there was no way Qiao Nan would be together with him since he was only a young chap of twenty-something. All he knew was that Xiao Xu had admitted that this was his house and his door!
"You little brat! You're still a kid and you're trying to snatch my woman away from me? Are you tired of living?" Chen Jun's face turned green and he swung his fist toward Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu was totally unprepared for a fight, but his body reacted instinctively. Not only did he manage to dodge the blow but he was even able to attack Chen Jun. Xiao Xu, who was adept at martial arts, left Chen Jun helpless. After a few blows, Chen Jun suffered a great loss. One was a new soldier who had never stopped training, while the other was a commissioner who had not worked in the armed police force for a long time. One did not even need to think to know who was better at fighting.
With a swift move, Xiao Xu pinned Chen Jun against the wall. "Be a little humbler. You should take a look at the line of work I'm in before bragging and showing off in front of me. Tell me who you are! Why have you come to wreck my house?"
Chen Jun's face was black and blue at that moment. Not only had Qiao Nan cheated on him, but Qiao Nan's man had even beaten him up! Chen Jun had never been at such a great disadvantage throughout his whole life. "Do you know who I am? I'll make your life unbearable if you dare to do this to me."
Xiao Xu chuckled. "Oh, I really have no idea who you are. Why don't you surprise me? I grew up being surprised!" He took care of the chief and he had even met the old chief. He wondered what kind of important figure the guy he had caught could possibly be to be able to frighten him.
Now that Xiao Xu had said that, it was truly inconvenient for Chen Jun to expose his own identity. He was not in such a high position that ordinary people across the country would recognize him. "I'm warning you to let go of me. You've gotten yourself into big trouble with your actions today. I'll make your life in Qingshui Town unbearable!"
The sound of Chen Jun kicking on the door ceased, and what followed was the sound of people fighting outside her door. Qiao Nan released a breath of relief. Only then did she dare to look outside. She did not see anything, but Chen Jun's voice had not disappeared either.
Through the door, Qiao Nan could not help but ask, "Xiao Xu, is that you?"
"Sister Qiao, it's me. You can open the door now. This lousy good is under my control." Humph. He kept going on about how Xiao Xu was in big trouble now, but he had not revealed his own identity. Was he tooting his own trumpet and exaggerating?
"That's great." Hearing that Xiao Xu had Chen Jun in his grip, Qiao Nan was relieved and opened the door. "Thank you, Xiao Xu. I'm sorry for making you make this trip down." Xiao Xu had his own job, and it should have been the landlord couple taking care of anything to do with the house.
"Sister Qiao, you're being too polite. This is what I should be doing now that you're living in our house." If he did not protect the chief's wife well, his comrades would make a joke of him before giving him a severe beating because he had been in the military for such a long time.
They had finally managed to get themselves a matriarch, and the chief had finally found a new start in his life. If he were to ruin this relationship, he would be too ashamed to face his comrades again.
"This is your house?" Chen Jun only knew that Qiao Nan was renting an apartment but did not know who the landlord was. Hearing Xiao Xu say that this was his house, Chen Jun had completely misunderstood him. After a long while, Chen Jun finally had some rationality in him. "Brother, it's all a misunderstanding. I thought you were… I'm her husband. I'm here to pick my wife up. You should have a girlfriend at this age, and you should know that women can be quite unreasonable once they throw tantrums. Can you leave us alone to handle this matter between us?"
Now that he had already embarrassed himself, Chen Jun could not possibly reveal his identity and leave such a mark on his name right before leaving Ping Cheng.
So this young chap was Qiao Nan's landlord. He had thought that Qiao Nan had found a stray dog for herself.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Xu's face flushed red with anger. "What a cheater you are! Or are you a kidnapper? Sister Qiao is single!" More importantly, Sister Qiao was going to be the chief's wife in the future. How could she be married to such a useless thing? The chief was a hundred, even a thousand, times better than this lousy good here! How could this fool try to fight with the chief over Sister Qiao? He was too bold! Thinking about how the other party was trying to snatch Sister Qiao away from the chief, Xiao Xu had to resist the urge to punch him.
"It's true. We're really married. We got into an argument and she left home. I'm here to bring her home. Our child is still waiting for her at home." Chen Jun had no choice but to use Chen Feng as an excuse.
Since Chen Feng shared a good relationship with Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan definitely liked Chen Feng. He did not believe that Qiao Nan would not feel a thing at the mention of Chen Feng. For Chen Feng's sake, Qiao Nan would probably follow him back obediently.
Hearing Chen Feng's name, Qiao Nan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Of course she remembered this child. What's more, she especially remembered how Qiao Zijin had thrown Chen Feng over to her, and how she had raised Chen Feng.
She had only treated Chen Feng well because she felt that the child was innocent. At that time, Qiao Zijin had snatched Chen Jun away on the basis of Chen Feng's existence. The premise of that was that Chen Jun had acted waywardly too. She did not believe that Chen Jun had not been able to recognize that Qiao Zijin had been trying to hit on him. Knowing that his fiancée's sister had feelings for him and was trying to take her place, Chen Jun had allowed himself to spend time with Qiao Zijin alone, and he had even gotten her pregnant. Qiao Zijin was responsible, and so was Chen Jun. But Chen Feng had nothing to do with all this.
Chen Feng was her only nephew, so it was only right for her to treat Chen Feng well.
But Chen Feng was nothing more than her nephew. How foolish would she have to be to decide to marry a sly old fox like Chen Jun and sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of a nephew? He was just a nephew. Why should she sacrifice so much for someone that was not even her son?
Where had Chen Jun gotten such a ridiculous idea?
