Pregnant After Healing the Alpha Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Chapter 197 Zhan Qipei Protects His Wife as He Does His Life

Zhan Kaiyang felt that Zhan Qipei had been bewildered and lost his reason because of Qiao Jing, to actually defend her like this. Fortunately, Zhan Yuanshan arrived just in time, or else–

“Foolish nonsense!” Zhan Yuanshan bellowed angrily.

The imposing aura of the foremost war general on the borderlands wasn't something ordinary people could withstand. Although Zhan Yuanshan was getting on in years, the formidable presence honed from years on the battlefields was etched into his very bones.

Upon hearing Zhan Yuanshan's thunderous roar, Zhan Kaiyang's complexion improved slightly, while Zhan Nan, Zhan Bei, and Cao Rushan wore cold smirks as they looked towards Zhan Qipei and Qiao Jing.

They all thought Qiao Jing was in for some bad luck.

Leaning on his walking stick and huffing indignantly, Zhan Yuanshan approached Zhan Kaiyang, “You really are getting more foolish with age! Would my chosen granddaughter-in-law seduce your grandson? Just look at how shifty-eyed your grandson is. Relying on the family's favorable conditions, he idles his days away, if not chasing after women, then on the way to do so. Your two grandsons are not even worthy of carrying my granddaughter-in-law's shoes! And you still defend them?

I'm telling you, you spoil those two rotten brats too much, raising them to be no better than waste!”

After hearing Zhan Yuanshan's words, Zhan Kaiyang and Cao Rushan, along with her sons, stared dumbfounded.

So the “foolish nonsense” Zhan Yuanshan shouted earlier wasn't directed at Qiao Jing, but at him, Zhan Kaiyang?

“Big brother, why are you the same as Qipei? All protecting her? I know she's the one you chose for Qipei, but you can't just shield her in everything, can you?” Zhan Kaiyang argued, unconvinced.

“Yes, great-grandfather! I really didn't do that kind of thing to her; we swear! If we bullied Qiao Jing just now, may we be struck dead by a car the moment we step out the door!” Zhan Nan raised his hands, trying to look as pitifully wronged as possible.

“Heh,” Zhan Nanqing curled her lips, “If swearing did any good, what would we need the police for?”

“Zhan Nanqing, shut your mouth!” Zhan Bei was seriously pissed off.

They told her not to talk, but she insisted on talking.

“You said you swear, right? Okay then, make it something harsh. If you did it, may you be rendered impotent from now on! Come on, swear!”

“You–you're going too far!”

“Enough!” Zhan Yuanshan stepped forward with his cane in front of Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei.

“I'm giving you one last chance, apologize to her!”

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei, unable to stand up to Zhan Yuanshan's imposing manner, were shaking like quails, trembling non-stop.

“Big brother, you–”

“Shut up!” Zhan Yuanshan cut off Zhan Kaiyang's speech.

“Big brother, you say I'm senile; I think the one who's really lost his mind is you!” Zhan Kaiyang was livid.

He had to be; he couldn't just watch his precious grandsons being frightened like this. What if it caused them psychological trauma?

“I'm senile? I believe the one who can't tell right from wrong is you! What Qipei means is what I mean as well. You and those two little brats immediately owe my granddaughter-in-law an apology, or else our two families won't need to associate anymore!”

Those words were serious!

Although Zhan Qipei had said the same earlier, he was, at the end of the day, only representing himself as a grandson.

But Zhan Yuanshan was different; he represented his entire branch of the family.

“Big brother, are you serious?”

“I always mean what I say! So, will you apologize today or not?”

The atmosphere tensed up to the extreme again.

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, glancing at Zhan Qipei and then at Zhan Yuanshan. Although the trouble was started by Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei, it wouldn't have blown up like this if it weren't for her presence.

Just as Qiao Jing took half a step forward, her foot still in the air, Zhan Qipei caught hold of her wrist.

“I know what you're going to say,” Zhan Qipei held onto Qiao Jing's hand without letting go, “but it's unnecessary. You are my wife, and if you're being bullied or aggrieved, then it's my business as your husband to settle the conflict, not hide you away. Otherwise, I may as well not call myself a man.”

“Qipei is right!” Zhan Yuanshan looked at Qiao Jing, “Jing Girl, you don't need to feel guilty. They're the ones in the wrong here!”

Zhan Kaiyang was fuming with anger, and it seemed that they were determined to protect Qiao Jing, no matter what.

“I will investigate this matter thoroughly and prove to you that the fault lies with Qiao Jing, my grandson did nothing wrong!”

Zhan Kaiyang trusted Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei just as much as Zhan Yuanshan and his grandson trusted Qiao Jing, neither side willing to give in.

“One day, you'll regret this!” Zhan Yuanshan spat out these harsh words before leaving.

What a joke! His granddaughter-in-law, the agricultural tycoon Professor Qiao, would seduce his two grandsons? Are they even worth considering?

Zhan Yuanshan had these thoughts swirling inside and wanted to express them, but he promised Qiao Jing that he wouldn't disclose anything to anyone until she left the Zhan Family. If it weren't for that, he would have really liked to tell Zhan Kaiyang directly a moment ago.

A magnate in agriculture, seducing two do-nothing heirs like Chen Tianning? That would be daydreaming!

“Hmph! I'll return these words to you just as they are!” Zhan Kaiyang thought to himself that it was lucky there were no surveillance cameras here, otherwise, they would see how they were protecting Qiao Jing.

“Nanqing, Zhan Bei, if you've been wronged, don't worry. Once this girl Qiao Jing leaves the Zhan Family, I'll capture her so you can take your revenge.”

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei were also considering how they would take revenge on Qiao Jing.

They couldn't wait to get their revenge, of course, not in front of Zhan Qipei.

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei exchanged glances, with a malicious smile forming in their eyes.

It's just dealing with a country girl. It shouldn't be too difficult.

The year passed by quickly, and industries began to resume work.

On the afternoon of the eighth day, Zhan Nanqing received a message from the bank about a deposit.

5800.

“What is this, where's the money from?” Zhan Nanqing murmured in confusion.

“It's your salary,” Qiao Jing said as she approached.

“What? Salary?” Zhan Nanqing had never been paid a salary in her life.

“Not enough?” Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow, “You're only in your internship period, and frankly, you're quite expendable at the research institute. This internship salary is quite generous already.”

“You don't need to pay me. This money isn't even enough for me to buy a handbag,” Zhan Nanqing said, disdainful to accept it, yet the figure “5800” fascinated her.

She had everything handed to her since childhood, spent money like water. To her, money was just a series of digits.

Not very significant.

But this 5800, this tangible sum, made her happier than getting 500,000.

“If you're working for me, how can I not pay you? What do you take this place for, a sleazy institute?” Qiao Jing picked up her cup and took a sip of tea.

“5800 might not be much, but you can buy a lot with it. There's no need to always go for luxury items. If you took that money to the supermarket, you could buy loads.”

Zhan Nanqing looked at the money on her phone, her brows furrowed tightly, and after pondering for two seconds, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, “When did you start making money?”
