Leading Lin ngran to her room, Chuxia looked at her worriedly: "Arguing with Zuo Jiang again?"
"No..." Lin ngran shook her head, and tears suddenly stread down, "From now on... we’ll never argue again. I said break up, and he agreed."
"Did you really suggest breaking up?" Chuxia sat up straight abruptly, "Boss, you’re not joking with , are you?"
"Do I look like I’m joking?" Lin ngran sniffed, "Originally, I wanted to wait a few days to talk, but sitting there my mind was in chaos, so I just went to find him.
After I ntioned breakup, he agreed without any hesitation. Little Sis, I really didn’t expect that this relationship ant so little to him."
Chuxia furrowed her brow, she didn’t believe Zuo Jiang didn’t care about this relationship, yet his current behavior was indeed surprising to her.
Chuxia looked at Lin ngran uncertainly: "I think he might be angry because you don’t value the relationship, or angry about your lack of trust in him, that’s why he said that, right?"
"No matter the reason, it’s over between us, and in the future, I won’t shed a single tear for him. Today is the last ti I’ll cry for him..." Lin ngran sighed heavily, her tears fell again, "Little Sis, I’m so disappointed in myself."
After hesitating for a mont, Chuxia looked at her seriously: "Tonight, stay here and let your feelings settle. As for you and Zuo Jiang, let’s talk when you’re calm, alright?"
"If I don’t go back, Xiaoli and the others will certainly worry. I’ll wash my face, and once my eyes are clear, I’ll head back." Lin ngran said while rising to go to the bathroom.
With a sigh, Chuxia leaned on the sofa, troubled. Talking about this, no matter the era, she had little experience in relationships. Advising was one thing, but actually deciding what to do was another matter entirely.
Whenever this happened, she especially thanked her lucky stars for eting Zhou Mikang early on, otherwise, given her personality, she’d have endured quite a bit of hurt in matters of the heart.
Seeing Lin ngran off, it was nearly nine o’clock.
"What happened to that girl?" Zhao Yulan asked her daughter worriedly.
Chuxia then recounted the entanglent between Lin ngran and Zuo Jiang, looking a bit troubled at Zhao Yulan: "Mom, I also can’t accept how Zuo Jiang acted, but with the boss so upset now, I definitely can’t say anything like that.
Moreover, thinking it over carefully, I also feel that if you’re so stringent in relationships, the chance of finding a suitable partner is probably very slim."
"Silly girl, it’s not just very difficult, it’s almost impossible..." Zhao Yulan sighed, looking at her daughter, "You’re lucky to have found Xiaomi, he has capability and decisiveness, and isn’t bound by strict rules.
All in all, living to this age, it’s the first ti I’ve seen a personality like Xiaomi’s. Once ngran calms down, you all should persuade her seriously. Zuo Jiang is a rare good kid, if she misses him now, she’ll definitely regret it."
"Your mom is right..." Lin Baohe interjected from the side: "I, as a man myself, can understand Zuo Jiang’s feelings; he agreed to break up not because he truly wants to separate from ngran, he’s upset with her.
Thinking about how he treated ngran before, then consider ngran’s suspicion of him? If you keep treating soone sincerely but they don’t believe you, anyone would find it unbearable.
Speaking as a father, holding out till now is quite tough, when young, who doesn’t have so temper? Trust , ask your mother, I was quite foolish back in the day."
"Your dad’s telling the truth, back when there was a woman in the village who always wanted to work in the sa group with him, it made very angry. Actually, I knew your dad had nothing with her, and the woman liked working with him because he was skilled, which ant less work for that group, but I couldn’t help but get fired up.
At first, I held it in, but later I’d throw a fit at him back ho. Initially, he coaxed , then he outright ignored with a blank face, making even angrier.
Eventually, I reached the limit and snapped at him, accusing him of being infatuated with youngsters and forgetting his surna, but it was just anger talking.
Then your dad got really mad, grabbed and went outside, saying he would confront that woman. He was so sincere I beca scared, and quickly softened.
Even so, your dad ignored for days, later when we truly reconciled, he told he was hurt by my lack of trust. He said he laid his heart bare for , and I still doubted him, it was too hurtful.
Since then, regardless of rumors about your dad, I don’t believe them and even refute them in front of others. Eventually, people stopped spreading nonsense.
Sumr, talk to ngran properly, n, especially good n, have their pride. If you give him face, he’ll naturally respect yours, and handle things better.
ngran is upset about Zuo Jiang’s interaction with a girl nad Xiao Shui, but think of it, if Xiao Zuo constantly approached ngran, could she easily ignore him?
Putting yourself in soone else’s shoes, isn’t it just the sa thing? If she really trusts Xiao Jiang, maybe Xiao Jiang can truly decide not to bother with Xiao Shui anymore. And in the future, if other girls approach him, he’ll know what to do."
After pondering her parents’ words carefully for a while, Chuxia looked at the couple with a relieved face: "I understand now, it seems I should pay attention too. Thank you for teaching another lesson."
"Silly girl..." Zhao Yulan chuckled while patting her daughter’s head, "Go back to your room and rest."
Before Chuxia could find Lin ngran, early the next morning, Zuo Jiang ca to visit.
Just as Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan said, the reason he agreed with Lin ngran so readily was because he was angry that she didn’t trust or cherish him. In the heat of the mont, he agreed instantly.
The result of agreeing in the heat of the mont was that he didn’t sleep the whole night. Thinking of how close Chuxia and Lin ngran were, he got up at dawn and wandered around the Lin Family’s door...
Looking at Zuo Jiang’s heavy dark circles, Chuxia looked helplessly: "Usually you seem quite steady, who knew you’d do sothing so impulsive? So what’s your intention now?"
"Help persuade Xiao Ran, I promise her I won’t bother with Xiao Shui anymore. In fact, I hardly did before; she ca to find , saying there’s news from ho for , so I had to listen.
You know, my brother followed Ye iru to that place and, to this day, his fate is uncertain. My dad and his brothers are fighting fiercely; inevitably, I worry about them.
Xiao Shui’s dad and my dad are good friends. So news my dad won’t tell , but she can learn from her dad, so..." He shrugged, not continuing.
"I see, you hope to hear useful news to help your dad, but..." After a slight hesitation, Chuxia still asked, "If you genuinely wanted to help your dad, wouldn’t you choose a major other than dicine?"
"Sigh..." Zuo Jiang sighed heavily, smiling bitterly, "If I had known things would develop like this today, I wouldn’t have chosen a dicine major. I can only bla myself for being so immature.
Studying dicine is my interest because I dislike the political fights of power and struggle. I’ve always felt being a good doctor can save many people, and that’s the most aningful thing.
But now it seems that taking this path made happy, yet plunged my dad into the toughest situation. My brother and I didn’t perform well, and now grandpa favors Zuo Wen from my uncle’s family more.
Along with this, the support for my uncle becoming the Family Head has increased. As the eldest, my dad fought hard for the Zuo Family for so many years, it’s suddenly putting him below my uncle; how can he feel comfortable?
Even though I dislike the power struggle, I can understand my dad’s feelings. So, after graduating, I probably won’t apply for a dical graduate school. If changing halfway wasn’t almost the sa as continuing, I might choose to retake the entrance exam.
However, regardless of who becos the Zuo Family’s head, our family won’t be abandoned. I can certainly help Xiao Ran; the difference is whether we can control the direction of the Zuo Family."
"Every family has its own difficulties..." Chuxia couldn’t help but sigh. She rembered that Zuo Jiang’s dad had already received the old man’s approval for the Family Head position, only to find that in a few short months, things had turned again. No wonder Zuo Jiang was so emotionally unstable.
Co to think of it, Lin ngran as a girlfriend isn’t qualified either; her boyfriend is facing such enormous pressure, yet she not only doesn’t offer support but also adds to the chaos, sigh...
Turning back, after hearing Chuxia’s recount, Lin Gouran looked shocked: "Did he tell you that himself?"
"What do you think?" Chuxia rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Do you think I made up a story to trick you into making up with him? Do you believe I would do sothing like that?"
"No, no..." Lin ngran looked embarrassed, "Of course I wouldn’t doubt you, I just felt that while interacting with him, I didn’t notice he was upset. Also, why didn’t he tell ? If he did, how could I not empathize with him?"
"Isn’t he just being considerate of you?"
"Do you an I wrongly blad him?"
Chuxia rolled her eyes again, unwilling to engage with her.
"Hehe..." Soone smiled sheepishly, "Well... should I apologize to him then?"
"Whatever, it’s your business, you decide yourself, I’m not sticking my nose in..."
"But..." Lin ngran looked conflicted, "I’m a girl; apologizing to him is too embarrassing, right? Besides... besides, he’s also at fault..." (To be continued.
