Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 2536 - Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui (37)

“Didn’t both our families know about us and silently agreed to it?” How was it that she and Zhai Yaohui were unrelated? Weren’t these relations? They were related!

Shi Peng disagreed. “Silently agreed to it? What kind of answer is this? Can things like marriage be silently agreed to? Minlan, let me tell you. You’re losing out on this situation because of this attitude.” The so-called silent agreement couldn’t even be considered a promise. There was no matchmaker and no certificate. If word of this spread, the Zhai family might have little reason, but their Shi family was even more unreliable.

If both families really had the intention for their children to get married to each other, why didn’t they say so clearly in the first place? Even if the Zhai family didn’t say it clearly, there’s still the Shi family. Didn’t the Shi family have the intention to say things clearly as well?

Everyone knew that the Zhai family’s status was higher than the Shi family’s. How would the Shi family’s attitude not make people doubt that the Shi family was interested in the power of the Zhai family? After that, they didn’t dare to urge the Zhai family for fear that the marriage between Qi Minlan and Zhai Yaohui would be ruined if they annoyed the Zhai family.

Shi Peng knew that his father had some thoughts. His sister had quite a lot of thoughts as well. He didn’t expect these thoughts to be quite unreliable.

Based on what his sister had said, he couldn’t blame Zhai Yaohui even if Zhai Yaohui really married another woman, let alone if Zhai Yaohui didn’t acknowledge his relationship with his sister now. Wasn’t there a saying that only an officially married woman was considered a wife? Those who didn’t walk this clear path were not considered to be serious.

“Alright, if you and Zhai Yaohui don’t have any witness in this regard, our family can only suffer this loss in private. Forget it. Zhai Yaohui… It’s fine. Let’s find another better one. There’re benefits even if there’s no Zhai Yaohui. Think about it. If Zhai Yaohui doesn’t treat you well, based on the Zhai family’s situation, it won’t be as convenient for me as an older brother to help you. If you find another person, I can help you keep an eye on your man.”

Zhai Yaohui was too powerful. If he really became his brother-in-law, Shi Peng wouldn’t have the slightest sense of being an older brother. For a person with a strong aura like Zhai Yaohui, and upon thinking about his sister’s style, Shi Peng felt that they were not suitable. Based on how his sister was playing the field, she would anger and annoy Zhai Yaohui sooner or later.

Military marriages generally couldn’t be divorced. However, nothing was absolute. As he thought about this, Shi Peng felt that it wasn’t a bad thing that Zhai Yaohui’s marriage with the playful Qi Minlan didn’t work out.

“Brother, am I your sister, or is Zhai Yaohui your brother? He bullied me like this, but you’re not helping me at all. Brother, are you still my brother? Is there a brother like you?” Qi Minlan was unhappy and dissatisfied with Shi Peng’s attitude.

“What do you want, then?” Shi Peng had a headache. This was the situation now. Who asked them not to prepare beforehand? The work done in the early phase wasn’t well, thus leading to the embarrassing situation now. Why was all the responsibility and blame on him now?

“Brother, go create trouble for Zhai Yaohui. Help me teach him a lesson. He entered the army two or three years later than you. You should be better than him, right?” Since Zhai Yaohui made her feel uncomfortable emotionally, she was going to make him feel uncomfortable physically. He dared to abandon her. Zhai Yaohui did not need to think about leading a peaceful life.

“…” Shi Peng didn’t really want to bother himself with Qi Minlan, his sister. When Zhai Yaohui and Qi Minlan were together in the past, he had always abided by the rules. He never took advantage of Qi Minlan or became particularly close to any girls aside from her. Such an outstanding Zhai Yaohui had already done so well. However, Qi Minlan played with a bunch of boys.

Even if the marriage between the two didn’t happen, Shi Peng couldn’t go against his conscience and say that Zhai Yaohui had done something sorry to his sister. He could only hide her ugliness and say that they were not suitable for each other. Zhai Yaohui wasn’t a scumbag to his sister. How could Shi Peng go over and hit Zhai Yaohui? Shi Peng wasn’t willing. However, Qi Minlan was not willing to let things off just like this.

Not only did Shi Peng not get a good rest and be reunited with his family after finally coming home, but he even argued with Qi Minlan until he had a headache. “Alright, stop it. I’ll go and find Zhai Yaohui to settle scores, okay?”

Shi Peng, realizing that refusing Qi Minlan would lead to unending trouble, quickly threw his hands up in a gesture of surrender, promising to do as she said.

A smile graced Qi Minlan's lips. “Brother, I know you care about me the most. Please don’t hold back when you deal with him. I’m suffering so much right now, I feel like I could just die. My heart aches so badly I can barely breathe. Think about how I feel, and you’ll know just how hard you need to hit Zhai Yaohui.”

“Alright, I’ll do as you wish.”

Shi Peng stood up, gathered his belongings, and departed.

Qi Minlan’s insistence on following him left Shi Peng increasingly exasperated.

Only when Qi Minlan saw Shi Peng heading towards the Zhai residence with her own eyes did she permit herself a smile. “Zhai Yaohui, you rejected me. Don’t assume I, Qi Minlan, am easy to push around. You want to marry some country bumpkin? We’ll just have to see how embarrassing you and your entire Zhai family will become in the future!”

Even if Zhai Yaohui were to feel regret for not marrying her back then, she certainly wouldn’t show him any leniency.

Her brother had been right. Without Zhai Yaohui, she could easily find someone else.

There were countless men in this world; why should she be so fixated on just Zhai Yaohui?

Zhai Yaohui would undoubtedly be making a grave mistake by marrying Miao Jing. But she herself would find the right person and ostentatiously display her happiness to Zhai Yaohui.

Since an hour had passed and Shi Peng had yet to return, Qi Minlan slowly made her way towards the Zhai family’s home.

Qi Minlan was aware of a small, vacant structure situated behind the Zhai family’s main house. Despite its description as small, it was not at all diminutive.

Old Zhai had utilized this very building to hone Zhai Yaohui’s combat skills.

Occasionally, Shi Peng would also frequent this place for training. Therefore, Qi Minlan was quite familiar with the layout of the small house.

Knock! Knock!

“Please come in,” Zhai Yaohui’s ragged breathing could be heard from within.

Qi Minlan pushed the door open and stepped inside. She was met with the sight of Zhai Yaohui in a disheveled state. His clothes appeared torn, and he sat on the ground, wiping away beads of sweat.

Qi Minlan’s eyes sparkled briefly before shifting to a look of concern. “Brother Zhai, are you unharmed? How could my brother do this to you?”

“…” Zhai Yaohui remained silent, offering no response.

“Brother Zhai, please don’t misunderstand. I’ve already spoken with my brother. Since you believe we aren't suited for each other and you only regard me as a sister, I will respect your decision, regardless of my own feelings for you. We've settled this matter. Perhaps I seemed too distraught when I left earlier. My brother became angry and… I’ve already reasoned with him. Truly, I couldn’t restrain him. I don’t understand what came over him… He’s become so temperamental.”
