Chapter 700
After all, she’s the daughter of her own big brother. No matter how many mistakes she made before, she’s still a child after all. Besides, she didn’t really cause any harm to the family. So, as Zhao Qiyan finished speaking, Zhao Yulan’s eyes reddened a bit. However, she wasn’t foolish; no matter how sympathetic she was, she wouldn’t carelessly agree to anything that would make her daughter’s life difficult.
The room fell into a brief silence.
Zhao Qiyan shifted uncomfortably. She couldn’t gauge Chuxia’s thoughts and didn’t dare to speak again. In the past, she would have righteously demanded to know if the other person really considered her family. But now, after witnessing many things, she clearly understood that she wasn’t in a position to demand anything.
"Why have you co to ? How do you want to help you?" Chuxia finally asked.
Zhao Qiyan’s spirit visibly lifted. She sat up straight and looked hopefully at her cousin: "Xia, as long as he is willing to marry , that’s all I need. I can overlook everything else."
Chuxia looked at her speechlessly: "Who do you think I am? You think I can just tell him to marry you and he will?"
"Brother-in-law..." Zhao Qiyan weakly called out the words "brother-in-law," realizing it seed inappropriate and quickly corrected herself, "Regintal Commander Zhou... if Commander Zhou spoke to him, he probably would listen."
"So, are you asking or Zhou Mikang?" Chuxia looked at her steadily. "You might think I’m heartless because you’re seeking out for the Zhou family’s influence.
But Zhao Qiyan, I find it hard to believe you don’t understand the complexities involved. If Zhou Mikang steps forward, it’s as if he’s speaking for the whole Zhou family. Liu Zhenqiang might comply, but for what reason?"
"Chuxia..." Zhao Qiyan looked pitifully at Chuxia, "I know Liu Zhenqiang hopes the Zhou family will see him in a different light. But he also has his own abilities. Actually, actually, if he is willing to help the Zhou family, it’s not necessarily a bad thing, right?"
Chuxia shook her head: "Things related to politics, neither you nor I understand, and we shouldn’t ddle. And I, I cannot ask the Zhou family to do things they don’t want to for my personal matters."
"If... if it were Qihui, would you still ignore it like this?"
"There’s no if. Sister Qihui would not do such a thing at all. If she were of such character, I wouldn’t sympathize either. You got here by your own choices. Why should others bear the consequences?"
Zhao Qiyan bit her lip and looked to Zhao Yulan for help. Despite feeling sowhat sympathetic, Zhao Yulan sighed and remained silent, reminded of the reasons Zhao Qiyan ended up in this situation.
Zhao Qiyan’s eyes dimd. If even her aunt wouldn’t help her, what hope was left? "Chuxia..." she pleaded with a face full of desperation, looking at her cousin.
Chuxia turned her head away, ignoring her plea.
"Auntie, Chuxia, please don’t tell the family about my situation. I... I’m leaving now." Zhao Qiyan sensibly got up to say her goodbyes.
"Wait..."
Zhao Qiyan’s eyes instantly brightened and she looked hopefully towards Chuxia, "Cousin..."
In her excitent, she changed her address, causing Chuxia’s mouth to twitch involuntarily as she coolly regarded her, "After all, we are family. Even if I don’t like you, I wouldn’t watch you walk into a dead end."
"Xia..." Zhao Qiyan looked at Chuxia with excitent, her lips quivering, "I knew it, you wouldn’t let get bullied and ignore it, you’re not that kind of person."
"Don’t try to flatter . I stopped you to give you so advice. Liu Zhenqiang is currently infatuated with his first love. Even if he’s forced to be with you, do you think it will last?
Of course, maybe now you think that as long as you marry and have the child, everything will be stable. But have you considered, if he is willing to give up his own child for his first love, how could he sincerely spend a lifeti with you?"
"As long as my child has a proper status, I don’t care how long it lasts. Even if we get divorced right after marriage, it doesn’t matter to ." Zhao Qiyan looked at Chuxia with unwavering eyes, "I don’t want my child to be scorned for a lifeti."
For a mont, Chuxia was stunned; she hadn’t expected Zhao Qiyan to be willing to do this for her child. In her impression, Zhao Qiyan had always been a person of extre selfishness. Yet now, for her child, she could sacrifice herself no matter her personality; it had to be admitted, she was a qualified mother.
She stopped Zhao Qiyan not out of a saintly compassion; if Zhao Qiyan weren’t pregnant, she definitely wouldn’t intervene at all.
Actually, even though Zhao Qiyan was pregnant, she still had no intent to ddle initially. But when she got up, struggling to support her belly, Chuxia’s heart softened.
