Chapter 711: Chapter 700: A Way to Teach Qiao Jing a Lesson
The call was connected not long after.
Qiao Jing was the first to speak, asking, "What did you want to tellwhen we were at the institute? What is
Grandpa Xu up to?"
Meanwhile, Zhan Nanqing was sitting on the couch. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the front door open,
and Zhan Kaiyang walked in.
She instantly closed her mouth, staring cautiously at Zhan Kaiyang, deliberately not calling him "Second
Grandpa," but using another term instead.
"Second Grandpa Zhan, what are you doing at my house?"
They had just severed ties that morning, and he was here again by evening?
Hearing Zhan Nanging’s way of addressing him, Zhan Kaiyuan sneered.
"Changed your tune so quickly?"
The rift had just occurred not long ago, and Zhan Nanqging had already changed how she addressed him, which
only made him more determined to settle accounts with Qiao Jing.
Zhan Nanging felt somewhat embarrassed being asked that. After all, Zhan Kaiyang was her grandfather's
brother, part of her grandparents’ generation.
She knew she had been rude, but the thought of Qiao Jing had made her lose control of her tongue.
At that moment, Zhan Nanging felt uneasy under Zhan Kaiyang’s scrutiny and did not want to face him, so she
took her phone to the side to chat with Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing, on the other line, had heard the conversation as well, but she didn’t speak up; instead, she sent a
message to Zhan Nanging.
"Why did Zhan Kaiyang cagain? What's happening?"
Could it be another attempt to find fault?
Seeing the message from Qiao Jing, Zhan Nanging quickly started typing a response.
"I don’t know. He's heading upstairs now, probably to see Grandpa. Let's keep chatting, don’t mind him."
Zhan Kaiyang went straight to the second floor, to Zhan Yuanshan'’s door, and knocked.
Although Zhan Nanging said that, she was all ears, secretly listening to the noises upstairs and continuously
updating Qiao Jing.
She lowered her voice and whispered,
"Zhan Kaiyang is knocking on Grandpa's door; | knew he was here to see Grandpa."
Qiao Jing, watching Zhan Nanging act like a live war correspondent, couldn’t help but smile.

Just as Zhan Nanging had said before, Zhan Kaiyang was there to see Zhan Yuanshan and it had little to do with
them, so she lost interest in the matter and steered the conversation back on track.
"Have you forgotten what you wanted to telltoday?"
Earlier that day at the institute, Zhan Nanqing had mysteriously said she wanted to tell her something but got
too busy with work, and asked her to call when she got home.
Now that she had made the call, Zhan Nanging’s attention seemed to be elsewhere.
Zhan Nanging hushed, quietly glancing in Zhan Kaiyang’s direction.
"Wait a sec, let's see what he’s up to first?"
Second floor.
Zhan Yuanshan quickly opened the door and, seeing Zhan Kaiyang standing there, his face turned stern.
"Just wait here! I'll go to the study to get it for you, but really, you should be ashamed! Asking for the painting
back after you've already gifted it!"
The relationship had just soured today, and Zhan Kaiyang was already demanding the return of calligraphy he
had been given for his birthday, which was rather petty!
But he was used to it, as his brother had always been like this. It was just a piece of calligraphy, after all; no big
deal.
Zhan Kaiyang waited with a cold face for Zhan Yuanshan to bring over the painting.
Zhan Nanging, after hearing the exchange upstairs, clicked her tongue.
"So Zhan Kaiyang cto take the painting back from Grandpa. How petty, to take back a gift he gave."
After ranting, she resumed speaking in a normal tone and began discussing the important matter with Qiao Jing.
"Let’s not bother with that petty Second Grandpa any longer, let's talk business. | heard today that the work at
the institute is progressing smoothly and is about to achieve a milestone success. Elder Xu is happy, and it
seems he wants to organize a celebration or something."
Zhan Kaiyang, who had previously been waiting on the second floor for the calligraphy artwork, walked a few
steps towards the staircase upon hearing Zhan Nanging’s words, hoping to overhear scrucial information.
After all, he was planning to cause trouble for Qiao Jing, and this banquet might just offer the perfect opportunity.
However, Zhan Nanging then started rambling about various dishes she wanted to eat, without ever mentioning
details like the venue or tof the banquet.
This left Zhan Kaiyang incredibly anxious as he thought, if he was going to eavesdrop on her conversation, she
could at least not waste his tand energy with irrelevant chatter.
Just when Zhan Kaiyang was at his wit’s end, the volof Zhan Nanging’s voice suddenly dropped. Fearful of
missing any important information, he moved a few steps closer to the staircase again.
But he still couldn't hear Zhan Nanqing’s words clearly and leaned half his body out.
Zhan Yuanshan had just cout of the study with the calligraphy artwork and saw Zhan Kaiyang leaning his
body out.
He paused, carrying the artwork and walked forward.
"I didn’t even say I'd give you the calligraphy, there's no need to jump off the building!"
After hearing Zhan Yuanshan’s words, Zhan Kaiyang stiffened and slowly pulled his body back, stepping forward
a few paces.
"Givethe calligraphy."
He was so preoccupied with trying to listen to Zhan Nanging that he forgot Zhan Yuanshan was around.
Being seen by Zhan Yuanshan was extremely embarrassing.
Zhan Yuanshan, looking puzzled, directly handed the calligraphy to him.
"Take it quickly, I'm not fond of it anyway, to save yourself from playing the jumping-off-building act in my
house."
He mentioned jumping off buildings merely to threaten Qipei; had Zhan Kaiyang also picked up the tactic?
Zhan Kaiyang took the calligraphy from Zhan Yuanshan’s hands with a stiff expression and quickly walked out.
Zhan Nanging overheard their conversation and tried hard to suppress a smile, holding it back until her stomach
hurt from the effort.
As Zhan Kaiyang passed by Zhan Nanging, he noticed her expression and his face darkened even more,
hastening his steps.
After Zhan Kaiyang left, Zhan Nanqing finally let out a loud laugh, laughed for a while, and then told Qiao Jing
about the incident.
Meanwhile, Zhan Kaiyang returned hwith the calligraphy.
Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei were currently collapsed on the sofa, waiting to be spoon-fed by the maids.
Cao Rushan, seeing her two sons in this state, felt so distressed that she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
"Oh my boys, Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, how unlucky you are to encounter a jinx like Qiao Jing!"
Both Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei couldn’t move their hands now and were only able to be fed by the maids.
For Zhan Bei, it was the worst; a

Upon seeing this scene at home, Zhan Kaiyang was instantly furious and tossed the calligraphy aside.

"Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, don’t worry, Grandpa will seek revenge for you!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Rushan wiped the tear-streaked face and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Dad, how are you going to take

She paused, seeming hesitant, then asked:
"But Zhan Qipei and his folks are always protecting Qiao Jing, won't we have no chance to strike?"
Zhan Bei, now unable to move his hands or walk, harbored the greatest resentment towards Qiao Jing.
"Grandpa, look at what they've done to me, can’t you helpget revenge?"
Zhan Nan immediately chimed in,

Zhan Kaiyang was already bubbling with fury, and hearing this only fueled his anger, prompting him to think of a
plan.
"Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, don’t worry, | already have a plan to get revenge for you both!"
He refused to believe he couldn't teach Qiao Jing a lesson this time—if so, he might as well write his name
backwards!
