Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Chapter 1720: Chapter 1738: Tall Trees in the South (49)

Qin Shaonan didn’t say anything, just lit a cigarette.

Indeed, with such a mother and stepfather, how could one be at ease?

The old lady looked at Qin Shaonan and sighed, ”My son passed away early, Qiao Qiao’s mother disliked her from the moment she was born.”

Qin Shaonan looked at the old lady, then down at the cigarette butt in his hand, ”A biological mother doesn’t like her own daughter?”

The old lady sighed, ”Her mother took on a second female lead role in a TV drama at that time, but since she couldn’t perform because of Qiao Qiao, a girl she always had a feud with ended up taking the role. So she was unhappy. Later, after she gave birth to Qiao Qiao, that TV drama became popular and the second female lead became a major star, holding a grudge ever since, feeling that it was Qiao Qiao’s fault.”

Qin Shaonan, ”Maybe it wouldn’t have been popular if she played it.”

The old lady chuckled bitterly, ”But Ci Wan doesn’t think that way. Over the years, that second female lead has pressured her in various ways within the circle, not giving her the chance to stand out. So she has grown more and more disgusted with Qiao Qiao.”

Qin Shaonan listened, understanding what was going on.

The old lady looked at Qin Shaonan, ”Child, what does your family do?”

Qin Shaonan said softly, ”My grandfather is a teacher, my grandmother is a housewife, my mother is an editor, my father is a civil servant, my brother is also a civil servant, and my brother and I are in the military.”

The old lady listened, feeling uneasy. If a soldier is a captain, what are civil servants? Both his brother and father are civil servants, are they officials?

A mother as an editor? She couldn’t guess what that entails, and the grandmother is probably a lady of status? The grandfather is likely a professor or something similar?

Indeed, being in the military is different, being a civil servant is different, being an editor is different, being a housewife is different, teaching is different!

But the way he said it clearly showed he was being considerate of her.

This child has heart!

Thinking of this, she looked at Qin Shaonan, ”How old are you this year?”

Qin Shaonan, ”Twenty-three.”

Twenty-three!

The old lady listened, very surprised, thought his conduct suggested he was almost thirty, turned out he was only twenty-three.

Indeed, children raised in different families are different, what do most boys know at twenty-three?

This young man in front of her is already a captain!

Although she didn’t know what rank a captain was, hearing the nurse talk made her understand the weight it carried.

Qin Shaonan looked at the old lady, ”Grandma is worried about Qiao Qiao, right? No matter what, I will always take care of her in the future.”

The old lady looked up at Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan, ”I’m a soldier, I mean what I say.”

The old lady looked at Qin Shaonan, suddenly felt like crying, her eyes reddened, ”Thank you, thank you for taking care of Qiao Qiao, with you saying this, there’s nothing I am worried about anymore.”

Qin Shaonan, ”...”

He stood there smoking.

The old lady looked at him, ”Actually, Qiao Qiao is still young. If it weren’t for special circumstances, I wouldn’t be rushing, but reality is what it is, so I’ve always hoped she’d find a reliable boyfriend, at least not let Ci Wan bully her.”

Qin Shaonan, ”...”

The old lady held Qin Shaonan’s hand, ”Qiao Qiao is a good girl, she’s more understanding and obedient than others her age.”

Qin Shaonan, ”...”

He really hadn’t seen that in what the old lady said.

The old lady, ”Child, if you’re busy, just go ahead.”

Qin Shaonan put out the cigarette, ”I’m at Qiao Qiao’s school for military training, today’s Sunday, fortunately there’s nothing going on.”
