Chapter 942: Chapter 930: Let Zhan Qipei Sit Next to Qiao Jing
After exclaiming, Zhan Yao couldn’t help but say, “It’s such a pity about that face. However, you can’t just judge soone by their appearance. If Qipei and she can end up together, maybe…”
Halfway through his words, he was glared at by Su Manhan beside him.
Su Manhan frowned and whispered, “Why are you ntioning this again? Haven’t we already discussed it before?”
“Moreover, a replacent is always a replacent, they can never beco the real thing. It’s unfair to the girl in question, so don’t think about these things anymore.”
“Sigh…” Zhan Yao sighed, “I understand what you’re saying, but we can’t just watch Qipei suffer for this his whole life…”
With those words, both of them fell silent, and no one continued the topic.
As soon as the symptoms eased, Zhan Yuanshan quickly returned to normal.
Although he had been in discomfort earlier, his mood was now exceptionally good.
Because of these dical skills, he was even more certain that the girl in front of him was Jing Girl!
Zhan Yuanshan bead with joy and said cheerfully, “Jing Girl, even though you can’t recall past events, your dical skills have not diminished at all. They’re as impressive as always, just like back then!”
“When I first t you, I suddenly fell ill, and no one paid attention to . Fortunately, you appeared in ti to treat . Your thod of treatnt back then was not much different from just now.”
“So, from the mont I saw you, I had an intuition that you must be Jing Girl!”
The more Zhan Yuanshan spoke, the more excited he beca, “Let tell you, my intuition has always been very accurate.”
“Back in the day, when I was leading troops on the battlefield, we captured a few spies simultaneously. So officers were busy celebrating, while others were busy interrogating.”
“But at that ti, I had a gut feeling that things weren’t that simple. It might be a feint by the enemy to make us drop our guard and catch us off guard.”
“Based on this gut feeling, I made a swift decision to preemptively take action, preventing their sche from succeeding.”
“So, I’ve always believed in my intuition and have won many battles because of it.”
“The main reason I’m telling you all this is to let you know that I believe you’re Jing Girl. You definitely are, and I’m not mistaken!”
Zhan Yuanshan’s tone was very firm, allowing no room for doubt from anyone.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing suddenly felt as if she really might be Jing Girl.
The old man’s eloquence nearly convinced her.
Regaining her composure, Qiao Jing sincerely praised, “You were truly remarkable when you were young!”
“Exactly!” Zhan Yuanshan replied proudly, before continuing, “At that ti, I wanted you to inherit my legacy, but you were entirely focused on the agricultural developnt of the country, so you declined.”
“However, you managed to achieve great success in agriculture, becoming the number one authority in our empire, the famous Professor Qiao, and even opened a research institute…”
Hearing this, Qiao Jing’s face didn’t show much, but inside, she was shocked.
The Zhan Family’s young madam turned out to be that top agriculture authority—Professor Qiao!
She had previously heard from her two elder sisters that the Zhan Family’s young madam ca from the countryside and had the good fortune to marry into the Zhan Family, suddenly transforming from a sparrow into a phoenix.
Who could have imagined that the young madam of the Zhan Family had such a status!
If this status were revealed to the world, it would surely shock the entire Imperial Capital, no, it should astonish the entire empire!
When Qiao Jing snapped out of her thoughts, she looked up to see the Zhan Family’s servant already setting the table with dishes.
Noticing this, Qiao Jing realized it was alti.
She got up from the sofa, planning to find an excuse to say goodbye and leave.
The family was about to have their al, and it wasn’t appropriate for her, an outsider, to continue staying here…
Seeing her get up, Zhan Yuanshan imdiately asked, “Jing Girl, what are you standing up for? Where are you going?”
“I’ve been out for a while; I need to check on the Wonderful Hall…”
Before Qiao Jing finished her sentence, she was interrupted by Zhan Yuanshan.
“It’s alti now, and the Wonderful Hall also rests at noon. What do you need to check on? Co, join us for a al.”
With that, Zhan Yuanshan maneuvered his wheelchair and, without letting her say no, pulled Qiao Jing towards the dining table.
Zhan Nanjing, worried that Qiao Jing might refuse, discreetly made a “pretty please” gesture, asking her to help once more.
Qiao Jing felt helpless yet rembered the old man’s earlier condition, so she couldn’t just leave recklessly. Eventually, she sat down at the dining table.
As soon as she sat down, Zhan Qipei happened to return from outside.
Before Zhan Qipei could speak, Zhan Nanjing quickly ran over, pulling him aside to briefly explain the situation.
“Grandfather mistook Third Miss Qiao for my sister-in-law. To avoid shocking him, I had to ask Third Miss Qiao to pretend to be my sister-in-law and play along with Grandfather.”
After speaking, Zhan Nanjing worriedly reminded, “Brother, please cooperate as well. Don’t reveal the truth, or it could agitate Grandfather. If his condition flares up, it could be disastrous!”
Zhan Qipei listened, his brows furrowing, clearly reluctant to cooperate.
He disliked anyone taking his wife’s place!
Zhan Qipei’s resistance was so apparent that even Zhan Nanjing noticed.
So, as he was about to refuse, Zhan Nanjing preempted him, saying, “Brother, there’s one more thing I forgot to ntion. Grandfather’s condition already acted up once earlier.”
“Fortunately, Third Miss Qiao learned so dical skills from Master Zhou and intervened in ti to treat Grandfather. Otherwise, given the critical situation earlier, we might have been arranging a funeral today!”
After hearing this and knowing full well the severity of the old man’s condition, Zhan Qipei, despite being unwilling, grudgingly agreed.
However, when he sat down, he chose the seat furthest from Qiao Jing.
Seeing this, Zhan Yuanshan instantly beca displeased, frowning as he sternly stared at his grandson, “What’s this? You two have been apart for years, and now you’re so distant? Qipei, you’re disappointing !”
“I went through a lot to find you such a good wife. You both struggled to get together initially; have you had a change of heart?”
“That’s impossible. I’ll never change my heart; only Qiao Jing will ever be in my heart!”
As he said this, Zhan Qipei’s expression was cold and serious, his tone resolute.
Anyone can question anything about him, except his feelings for Qiao Jing!
“That’s more like it. Hearing that makes happy, but words alone aren’t enough.”
As Zhan Yuanshan spoke, he pulled Zhan Qipei to sit beside Qiao Jing, “Co, sit next to Jing Girl.”
