Chapter 1669: Sticking Around Again
He warned Nianyin: "Don't go too far. The child has just suffered such a great shock; what's wrong with letting him rest?"
"Besides, this is my home. I haven't said anything, so what right do you have to start driving people away?"
"So what if it's your home? He is my nephew. It is only natural for an aunt to educate her nephew. Stop acting like a busybody."
"Zihan is your nephew, but he is also my nephew. A nephew is closer to an uncle than an aunt, so I am closer to him than you are. You are the one being a busybody; stop meddling with our family's child..."
The two of them started arguing.
Wang Yong had long found Nianyin an eyesore.
This woman had no feminine qualities at all; she was overbearing and unreasonable... although his wife also belonged to the overbearing and unreasonable type, she was obedient when it came to major matters.
This woman was a complete chauvinist; she had to be in charge of everything, big or small, and her word had to be final!
The customs and habits of the Ji Family and L Country were opposites.
In the Ji Family, the women made the decisions, while in L Country, the men made all the decisions. These opposing customs made the two of them dislike each other, and now, a small conflict had caused an explosion.
Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely with no sign of stopping, Zihan had to step up and act as a peacemaker.
"Alright, stop arguing. You are both doing this for my own good. A nephew is just as close to an uncle as he is to an aunt; you are both the people closest to me. If you keep arguing, you'll only hurt your own health, and my heart will only make Zhu Qingrui clap in delight..."
Nianyin interrupted him: "He won't be clapping; his hands were dismantled by me long ago."
Everyone:...
Everyone was speechless.
Such things sounded like a matter of course when spoken by Nianyin, as if she were talking about what she had for breakfast.
This woman was fierce and overbearing; it was better not to provoke her.
Although Wang Yong was not afraid of her, she was the younger sister of his sister-in-law, so he still had to give his sister-in-law some face. In any case, she wouldn't be staying in L Country for long, so they could just go back to having nothing to do with each other after this.
With Zihan mediating, he took the opportunity to step down and voluntarily made a concession!
Since he conceded, Nianyin couldn't keep arguing on her own, so she scolded her subordinates in the courtyard, and that was the end of it.
Zihan and Wang Qing were about to return. Before Wang Yong sent them to the plane, Qi Shishi came again.
She handed a package to Zihan: "Could you please hand this to..."
Zihan answered preemptively: "I know, hand it to Zirui, right!"
According to normal logic, everyone would think like him, but Qi Shishi shook her head with a smile: "Hand it to your father, please!"
Zihan:...
"Why isn't it for Zirui?"
"No reason."
"Fine, I'll give it to my dad." Zihan looked at Qi Shishi with a complex expression, but he still took the package.
The plane took off.
Wang Qing leaned against his side the whole time, not leaving his side for even a step.
Even when Sheng Zihan went to the restroom, she had to stand guard outside.
At her most helpless moment, it was Sheng Zihan who saved her, so she treated him as her savior and developed a strong dependence on him!
Zihan realized that things couldn't go on like this.
He tried hard to push Wang Qing away and said to her with a serious expression: "Don't be like this, I have a girlfriend."
"I know."
"She will be at the airport to pick me up, and I don't want her to misunderstand us."
"I like you, and you like me too; she won't misunderstand!"
Zihan:...
He discovered that Wang Qing was also a very stubborn woman; once she set her mind on something, not even eight horses could pull her back. There was simply no reasoning with her.
"Wang Qing, listen to me. I have already let Yuanyuan down once; I cannot let her down a second time..."
"There is no right or wrong in love, only love or not loving."
Zihan said: "I love her, I don't love you."
Wang Qing replied: "I don't believe it. Sheng Zihan, don't lie to yourself. If you didn't love me, you wouldn't have risked your life to save me. You went to save me, which means you like me."
"What you feel for Tian Yuanyuan is responsibility, but what you feel for me is love. I know, I can tell the difference..."
Sheng Zihan continued to explain patiently, but she remained completely unmoved.
The plane landed.
The airport was filled with thunderous applause, and reporters holding flowers and banners crowded the exit until it was impassable.
Sheng Zihan didn't pay attention at first, thinking some celebrity was being chased by paparazzi, until people surrounded him, his arms were stuffed with flowers, and several microphones were shoved in his face; only then did he realize that the "star" of the day was actually himself.
"Student Sheng Zihan, you went to the sea alone to save someone; what were you thinking?"
"I heard the girl you saved this time is your girlfriend, is that true?"
"You must have encountered many dangerous situations abroad, right? Could you tell us a little about it..."
The reporters asked questions all at once.
Zihan was a bit dazed at first, but he quickly reacted—so they were treating him as a hero!
He immediately became spirited and answered everything in an orderly manner.
The content of his answers... was high-minded and grand!
He said the situation was urgent at the time, so he didn't think much and just wanted to save the person.
The process of saving the person was indeed very dangerous, and he almost lost his life abroad, but he had no regrets!
As a child of Jiangzhou, acting bravely for a just cause was an instinct, an essence, a trait melted into his blood and carved into his bones...
This guy became more and more fluent as he spoke. Not only did he praise others for being capable, but he also praised himself, though he didn't boast directly. While talking about the process of saving the person, he didn't forget to thank the motherland, the Party, and the cultivation of his teachers and parents.
He appeared very humble, attributing all the credit to others, but as the protagonist of this rescue, the more humble he was, the more noble his character appeared.
Wang Qing also accepted an interview from reporters.
She started off by keeping her mouth shut, but later, although she accepted the interview, she did not betray her uncle; instead, she told a lie, saying that she had been walking by the seaside and was forcibly dragged onto the boat by someone...
The focus of the camera flashes was all on the two of them.
In the distance, Tian Yuanyuan bit her lower lip tightly!
With great difficulty, the reporters finally dispersed, and Tian Yuanyuan walked up to the two of them and asked Zihan with concern: "Are you alright? Let me see if you're hurt?" As she spoke, she nervously rolled up his sleeves to check.
There were so many reporters just now, and they were all full of praise, but only Tian Yuanyuan cared about whether he was injured!
"I'm not hurt, I didn't even break any skin, you can rest assured." He let his girlfriend check, knowing she would only be at ease after seeing for herself.
"You have always been very timid, you were too impulsive this time..." Tian Yuanyuan said, wiping away her tears.
"I'm sorry, I won't do it next time, don't cry, look, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Zihan pulled his girlfriend into his arms and carefully wiped away her tears.
Although Wang Qing felt bitter inside, Tian Yuanyuan was now Sheng Zihan's official girlfriend, so even if she was unhappy, there was nothing she could do.
After Zihan returned to school, he was once again warmly welcomed; not only did the school give him an award, but they also wanted to hold him up as an example for all the teachers and students in the school to learn from!
