Chapter 232: Chapter 224: Jealousy and Rivalry
Qiao Jing responded and skipped the topic, “I don’t care what she said, marrying the fourth... Uh, shall we go buy
groceries together?”
“Off we go, I've been craving a meal made by Xiao Jing for a long time. Aren't you considering our Mogian at all?
He wouldn't dare treat you poorly, and neither would our Xu Family,” Xu Hongzu followed Qiao Jing, grumbling
behind her.
Qiao Jing ignored Xu Hongzu and headed straight towards the market.
When Qiao Jing returned hcarrying bags, Zhan Qipei had not yet returned.
Xu Hongzu looked around the living room. “Zhan Qipei isn’t here?”
“Not yet back.” Qiao Jing placed the bags on the kitchen table and tied on an apron.
Upon hearing this, Xu Hongzu felt a bit happy and schemed, “Then I'll call Mogian over, just so happens he
hasn't had lunch yet.”
“Hmm.” Qiao Jing rolled up her sleeves, took a fish out of the bag, and began to prepare it.
Xu Hongzu immediately snapped a photo of Qiao Jing’s back and sent it to Xu Mogian.
“Stinky boy, ceat!”
If the stinky boy could win Qiao Jing as his wife, it would be great. Why should all the good women end up
married into the Zhan family!
“Coming right away!” Xu Mogian replied swiftly and immediately took his car keys and drove to Qiao Jing’s
house.
Proud of himself, Xu Hongzu also tried to act young by posting the picture he had just taken on his social circle
with the caption: Xiao Jing cooking herself, my stinky boy and | are blessed!
After posting, he didn’t look at his phone anymore and went into the kitchen to watch Qiao Jing work on the fish.
“Xiao Jing, would this fish work with a hot and sour recipe?”
“Sure,” Qiao Jing replied.
Xu Hongzu gleefully watched Qiao Jing cook, unaware that his social media post had attracted someone
unexpected.
“Ding Dong—"
“I'll get the door, it’s probably Mogian. You keep doing your thing,” Xu Hongzu stopped Qiao Jing from heading to
the door, went to the entryway himself, “Stinky boy, why are you only—"

Upon seeing who it was, Xu Hongzu suddenly fell silent and expressionlessly tried to close the door.
‘How can | not close the door? | cto see my granddaughter-in-law, and have a meal; isn’t that allowed?”
Zhan Yuanshan grumbled, ‘Dare to try and close the door, I'll have my granddaughter-in-law kick you out!”
“Yo! You sure do smoothly call her your granddaughter-in-law, Xiao Jing doesn’t even really like your grandson.”
Xu Hongzu retorted, not backing down an inch. While distracted by Zhan Yuanshan, Xu tried to forcefully close
the door.
Just as the door was about to shut, Zhan Yuanshan raised his voice and shouted toward the inside, “Jing Girl! I'm
here!”
This successfully caught Qiao Jing’s attention, and she cout of the kitchen, “Grandpa Zhan?”
“Jing Girl, I'm telling you, Xu Hongzu isn’t lettingin!” As soon as he saw Qiao Jing, Zhan Yuanshan began to
complain, taking the opportunity to walk inside.
Xu Hongzu, unhappy with Zhan Yuanshan’s words, argued back, “What do you mean | didn’t let you in! Xiao Jing,
Zhan Yuanshan is up to no good, he showed up uninvited, and | don’t even know where he saw the news!”
“Blyourself for posting on social media,” Zhan Yuanshan countered.
Xu Hongzu groaned, realizing his oversight.
The two stubborn old men could not stop arguing, and Qiao Jing was somewhat helpless, “Let's eat together
then, sit down, and I'll be just a moment.”
She poured a glass of water for each of the men and then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking, while
the two in the living room gave each other unpleasant looks.
“See? That's my granddaughter-in-law,” Zhan Yuanshan stroked his beard, boasting to Xu Hongzu.
Xu Hongzu immediately retorted, “Haha, we still don’t know whose family the flower will end up in.”
The doorbell rang again, and Xu Hongzu revealed a smug smile. “My lousy son has arrived; you just wait for Xiao
Jing to becmy granddaughter-in-law.”
This tit was Xu Mogian.
“Lousy kid, you finally made it, cin quickly, Xiao Jing is cooking.”
Upon seeing this, Zhan Yuanshan inevitably felt sdissatisfaction with his ineffective grandson, Zhan Qipei—
his rival had shown up at the door, and the boy was still not back!
He immediately called Zhan Qipei.
The other party quickly answered, “Grandpa?”
“Your rival has shown up at your doorstep and you're still not home! If Jing Girl runs off with someone else, don’t
bother coming home!” Zhan Yuanshan said angrily and hung up the phone in a huff.
Qiao Jing, who was focused on cooking in the kitchen, naturally had no idea about the outside.
“Hello, Grandpa Zhan,” Xu Mogian greeted politely.
Zhan Yuanshan grunted heavily, reluctantly nodding his head.
“Never mind him, go and help Xiao Jing,” Xu Hongzu pushed Xu Mogian to the kitchen door.
“Don’t disturb Jing Girl, cand sit! Otherwise, do you want to try a move or two with me, Grandpa Zhan?”
Zhan Yuanshan said, needing to stall stsince his grandson was unimpressive.
Xu Mogian was at a loss right away, given that Zhan Yuanshan was not easy to provoke.
“Forget it, Grandpa, I'll just sit down. I’m afraid | might not hold back well.”
“You little rascal! You're missing such a good opportunity?” Xu Hongzu said, his old face turning red as he
slapped Xu Mogian on the back.
Xu Mogian felt he was wronged! Zhan Yuanshan was blocking him, so he surely couldn't actually fight him, right?

He knew it, Zhan Qipei that shameless guy, just knew how to cling to his Sister Jing.
The moment Mogian showed up, Zhan Qipei knew he would rush back as well.
Upon seeing Xu Mogian, Zhan Qipei gathered his brows like wisps of smoke, his lips tightly pursed.
“I'll go help Sister Jing!” Xu Mogian rushed to enter the kitchen, but before he could, Zhan Qipei stopped him.
“I've got it,” Zhan Qipei opened the kitchen door and closed it.
This scene made Xu Hongzu'’s face turn red with anger, “I just told you to go, and you didn’t. Now you regret?
Too late!”
Xu Mogian knocked on the door and shouted loudly, “Zhan Qipei! Have you no shame, open the door!”
No response cfrom inside.
Zhan Qipei didn’t open the door, and Qiao Jing couldn't be bothered with their jealous squabbles.
Xu Mogian ended up being crestfallen, sitting on the sofa with a face full of melancholy.
