Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 83: Chapter 77: Old Master Zhan’s Temper Explodes

At this moment, a car pulled up by the roadside.

Zhan Yuanshan hurriedly alighted from the car, leaning on his cane, and walked over to Qiao Jing.

“Who dares to force my Jing Girl to divorce? Who dares? Whoever does, must step over my dead body first!”

Zhan Yuanshan’s face turned purple with rage, angrily stabbing his cane into the ground.

He looked so furious, as if he wanted to stab right through the floor.

After roaring at Su Manhan and the others, Zhan Yuanshan turned back to look at Qiao Jing, his face instantly transforming into a kindly grandfatherly expression.

“My good granddaughter-in-law, you’ve been wronged, and Grandpa is late. Tell Grandpa, who bullied you? I will beat them to death with my cane today!”

When Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing heard this, they looked at the cane in Zhan Yuanshan’s hand and felt their hairs stand on end, subconsciously retreating two steps.

Seeing their movement, Zhan Yuanshan immediately raised his cane, pointing at the two of them.

“It’s you! You just can’t stand to see Jing Girl, can you? What a good child she is! You won’t find another as good as her in the whole world. It’s only because Qipei had incredible luck to end up with a marriage certificate with Jing Girl. And you even dare to persuade and coerce Qipei into divorcing Jing Girl? How could I have such a blind daughter-in-law? How could I have such a brainless granddaughter? And you—”

After berating Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing, Zhan Yuanshan turned to Zhan Yao, “No need to say it, I already know. You must have listened to your wife and daughter, got your ear bent, and followed them in their nonsense! Do you know why I haven’t handed over the head of the family to you? It’s because you don’t have your own opinions, you sway like grass on the fence, swaying with whatever you hear!”

Zhan Yuanshan was so angry he started coughing, and Zhan Qipei stepped forward to support him.

“Get aside, you make me angry just looking at you. Your business management skills may be a hundred times better than your father’s, but you have no eye for a good wife. I handpicked an unparalleled wife for you, and you don’t know how to treasure her—this is—you want to anger me to death! Cough, cough, cough—”

Qiao Jing stepped forward to support Zhan Yuanshan.

“Jing Girl is truly filial!” Zhan Yuanshan looked at Qiao Jing’s beautiful face and immediately felt better.

“Dad, you’re not in good health, you can’t be angry. Let’s head back to the hospital quickly, shall we?” Zhan Yao came over and said.

Zhan Yuanshan glared, “I know my own body, no need for you to tell me!”

Zhan Yao’s hand, which had been outstretched, retracted back; the Old Master had too fiery a temper. Back in the day, he had been a commander of thousands, and when his temper flared up, the aura of the battlefield would erupt, which was truly something not everyone could endure.

Just then, Qiao Jing spoke, “Grandpa Zhan, I said before, you are not in good health and shouldn’t get angry. Let’s go back to the hospital.”

“Ah, alright, I’ll listen to you,” Zhan Yuanshan said with a smile, looking at Qiao Jing, obedient as could be.

Zhan Yao’s mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg, no, a goose egg! He and Qiao Jing had said practically the same thing, so why was the reaction so different?

The farce ended just like that, but the case was far from closed.

In a certain villa.

A bald man with an Azure Dragon tattoo on his head and several others knelt in front of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man played with two Jade Beads in his hand while amusing a bird.

“Second Master, we’re sorry! We were useless! Please give us another chance.”

The middle-aged man called Second Master was Qian Haisheng, the head of the Qian Family.

Qian Haisheng stopped playing with the bird and turned around to look at the bald man and his group, lifting his foot and kicking the shoulders of the bald man.

The bald man was kicked to the ground, not daring to let out a peep, and with difficulty, he got up from the ground.

“Second Master.”

Qian Haisheng, with his narrowed eyes full of cunning and calculation, looked at the bald man, speaking unhurriedly, “This time you messed up. With my former temper, you would have already been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.”

The bald man and his group trembled in fear, hurriedly begging for mercy.

“Second Master, it wasn’t that we were incompetent this time. We almost managed to kidnap the Gan family’s daughter, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out of nowhere!”

“The Zhan family’s rural daughter-in-law…” Qian Haisheng laughed, “Interesting… I was saying that old fox Zhan Yuanshan, how could he possibly look for an ordinary person to be his grandson’s wife…”

The bald man looked up at Qian Haisheng, “Second Master, do we need to find someone to take her out?”

“No rush, have someone follow her and investigate her background. With such good skills, she’s definitely not an ordinary person.” Qian Haisheng was very curious, just what was the deal with the Zhan family’s rural daughter-in-law?

“Yes, Second Master.”

The next morning, Zhan Qipei stood on the balcony, looking towards the apartment building’s entrance, thinking about what had happened yesterday. If those two who tried to kill Qiao Jing were indeed members of a crime syndicate that slipped through the net, then it was very possible they would wait for a chance to retaliate.

Zhan Qipei took out his phone and called Tang Yan.

“Arrange for some people to protect Qiao Jing in secret.”

As soon as Qiao Jing came out of her room, she saw Zhan Qipei on the phone and heard what the man had just said.

“Didn’t expect you to care about me this much?”

Zhan Qipei was reluctant to admit it, “You’re overthinking it. I’m only having someone tail you to try to find the ones that got away.”

Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow, “This case doesn’t have much to do with you, so why the interest?”

“You can assume I have nothing better to do.” Having said that, Zhan Qipei picked up the notebook from the table and headed straight for the door, pulling it open and leaving.

If the conversation continued, he feared he would give himself away.

Qiao Jing didn’t think too much about it. Zhan Qipei had gone to the company, and she should also go to the research institute to meet the new intern.

With that thought, Qiao Jing headed to the research institute with the research report.

Inside the research institute.

Gan Lanlan was so nervous he couldn’t sit still.

He was about to meet the legendary agricultural magnate, Professor Qiao, how could he not be nervous?

Then, a hand patted his shoulder.

Gan Lanlan turned around to see Xu Moqian offering him a glass of water.

“Don’t be so nervous. Sister Jing isn’t that scary, on the contrary, she’s actually very pretty. And she doesn’t bite, just a bit aloof.”

Gan Lanlan could tell that Xu Moqian’s “Sister Jing” was Professor Qiao herself.

Xu Moqian called Professor Qiao “sister”, it seemed their relationship was quite good.

“Can you give me a hint? Does Professor Qiao have any taboos? I’m afraid I might say something by accident and upset her, that would be terrible! I worked so hard to get this position, to get into the institute, I don’t want to be fired.”

“Taboos?” Xu Moqian thought for a moment, “I don’t think there’s anything specific, Sister Jing isn’t afraid of heaven or earth, oh! I remember now!”

Gan Lanlan’s eyes widened and he listened intently.

“Sister Jing, she’s afraid of cockroaches! Haha—funny, right? She’s not afraid of poisonous snakes, but she’s afraid of cockroaches.”

Xu Moqian laughed at the thought.

At that moment, a clear and beautiful female voice suddenly rang out.

“I’m not afraid of cockroaches, I just find them disgusting.”

Xu Moqian had just been gossiping behind Qiao Jing’s back and was caught in the act, now feeling very guilty.

Gan Lanlan looked towards Qiao Jing. It was her, what was she doing here?

Before Gan Lanlan’s confusion subsided, Xu Moqian scratched the back of his head and walked towards Qiao Jing, “Sister Jing, you’re here and you didn’t make a sound? You gave me quite the scare.”
