Chapter 445: Chapter 308: The Future is Uncertain
I apologize to everyone, I was too tired last month, and on the first day, I felt like slacking off a bit. Nuan will definitely make two posts tomorrow, let rest for a day today.
————————————-
“ili, can you not ask about this every ti you see ?” A faint rosy hue spread over her pale face, Rao Ying complained disapprovingly before turning to look at Chuxia, “Who is this little sister?”
Even though she had already guessed Chuxia’s identity, ili still deliberately referred to her as “little sister,” causing the smile on her face to fade a bit, “She’s my third cousin’s wife.”
“Third cousin’s wife?” Rao Ying feigned surprise and repeated, then turned her gaze to Chuxia, “I’m sorry, considering your young age, I never thought you would be Zhou Mikang’s wife. By the way, are you even eighteen yet?”
“Sorry, but it’s not appropriate to ask a girl about her age, don’t you know?” Since the other party was being prickly, there was no need to save face, “Captain Zeng, I’m heading back.” Giving Zeng ili a faint smile, Chuxia turned and left.
“She’s young, yet feisty…”
“I have sothing else to do, if you’ll excuse .” Not waiting for Rao Ying to finish, Zeng ili didn’t look back as she chased after the third cousin’s wife, who was the apple of the third cousin’s eye. If she went back upset, wouldn’t the third cousin skin her alive?
“Zhou Mikang’s taste is really unique, liking these unripe country girls, hahaha…” The young man laughed and wrapped his arm around Rao Ying, “Don’t bother with such people, getting our work done is more important. I really need to ask Zhou Mikang, after all these years of choosing, how did he end up picking such a green potato, in what way is she better than our Xiao Xue?”
Rao Ying, and her sister Rao Xue, had a very close relationship. Hearing her fiancé joke about Zhou Mikang’s poor taste made her extrely happy, and she imdiately turned to call for her parents, “Dad, mom, hurry up.”
Father Rao and Mother Rao exchanged a worried look, simultaneously furrowing their brows.
The Rao family used to be quite renowned, but, as the old master retired, or rather, was forced out of power, the Rao family’s status declined year by year, generation after generation.
They were well aware of their younger daughter’s aspirations. An alliance through marriage with the Zhou family was their hope, and they had let her pursue it, but unfortunately, even after many years, their younger daughter had not won Zhou Mikang’s heart.
Luckily, their younger daughter was still young, and they weren’t in a rush. When they heard of Zhou Mikang’s marriage, they knew they needed to get their daughter to focus. They didn’t expect that, despite their efforts, such an incident would still occur.
Angry as they were, she was still their own daughter, and they needed to save her. But, with their own capabilities, there was absolutely no way to rescue their daughter themselves; they had no choice but to seek help from their elder daughter’s fiancé, Qiao Gang.
The Qiao family still had so sway with the Zhou family, and since no real harm had been done, they hoped Zhou Mikang would give them so face and allow them to smoothly take their younger daughter back ho.
But now, seeing their elder daughter and future son-in-law Qiao Gang’s behavior, they were genuinely worried. From the perspective of the experienced, if Zhou Mikang didn’t care about the girl, ili wouldn’t have protected her so fiercely.
Now, both were concerned that if their son-in-law spoke disrespectfully about the girl, and angered Zhou Mikang, the consequences would probably be less than ideal. However, Qiao Gang was an extrely stubborn man and wouldn’t listen to their advice.
Though they were the elders by rank, the present state of the Rao family was far inferior to that of the Qiao family. Their elder daughter was absolutely obedient to Qiao Gang and looked down on them a bit… They wouldn’t have sought his help if it hadn’t been absolutely necessary.
But given the current situation, it seed he couldn’t help, and might even complicate matters further. As they approached the office building, beads of sweat began to form on their foreheads.
If they didn’t let Qiao Gang help now, he would definitely hold a grudge, and there was a high chance they would lose their elder daughter. If they let Qiao Gang help, he might ss things up, and there was a high chance they would lose their younger daughter. What should they do?
“Hold on!” Father Rao suddenly grabbed Qiao Gang’s sleeve.
“Dad, what’s the matter?” Qiao Gang turned his head back, looking at him questioningly.
“Qiao Gang, let your aunt and handle this first. If our influence isn’t enough, then you can step in…” Seeing Qiao Gang’s face darken, Father Rao hurriedly explained, “I think this might provide a buffer. If you step in directly, and Zhou Mikang makes a mistake, there won’t be any room to maneuver.”
After pondering for a mont, Qiao Gang’s expression softened a bit, “Alright, I’ll stay quiet for now. If Zhou Mikang doesn’t help, I’ll discuss it with him afterward.”
Isn’t this even worse? Mother Rao quickly said, “Qiao Gang, what your father ans is, you and Little Ying shouldn’t go in just yet. If we can’t solve it, we’ll co out and find you. This way, it might be better.”
“Dad, Mom, why go back and forth like this? Don’t you find it troubleso?” Rao Ying frowned impatiently, “If you’re afraid of offending Zhou Mikang, just don’t go in. Qiao Gang and I will handle it.”
Qiao Gang didn’t even bother to speak; he simply grabbed Rao Ying and walked inside.
It was exactly like shooting themselves in the foot! Father Rao and Mother Rao now regretted it deeply. Being stuck in an awkward situation was truly unbearable!
When Chuxia and ili returned, the interrogation of Xiao Family’s father and son had already ended; they were being dragged out by two tall and sturdy soldiers, or more accurately, being dragged out like limp noodles.
ili glanced worriedly at Chuxia; she had hurried over to pull her away precisely to avoid her witnessing any grueso scene, but, ultimately, she still ended up seeing it.
However, Chuxia’s expression showed little change. If Zhou Mikang hadn’t intended to be ruthless, he wouldn’t need to interrogate them personally; it seed the father and son would have to live like invalids for the rest of their lives.
Serves them right for harboring such vile intentions.
“Have they confessed everything?” ili asked, looking at Zhou Mikang.
“Hmm, you guys ca back so soon?” Zhou Mikang glanced at the ti, “ili, take Chuxia to dinner, I probably still need a while to wrap things up here.”
“Third Brother, Qiao Gang and the Rao family have arrived,” ili said. Just as her words fell, Chuxia suddenly shouted, “Despicable! Too despicable!”
ili quickly said, “It is quite despicable, but don’t worry, Third Brother will surely handle it. Third sister-in-law, let’s go to dinner.”
“Huh?” Chuxia looked at ili in confusion, “Why?”
Zhou Mikang glanced at the spot Chuxia had just looked at and understood what her shout ant. He snorted, “Indeed, it’s quite despicable!”
“What do you two an?” Now it was ili’s turn to be confused.
“Look here…” Chuxia pointed to the interrogation record, “Knowing that she is their own biological daughter, yet they let their own biological son covet her. Tell , is this what humans do?”
It turns out, she was referring to Xiao Bingqi arranging for Li Xiaoru to care for Xiao Yuwen. Xiao Bingqi’s confession stated that when he arranged for Li Xiaoru to take care of Xiao Yuwen, he was already aware that Xiao Yuwen might possess her, but to ensure his son’s recovery, he was willing to sacrifice Li Xiaoru…
“Beast!” Seeing this, ili also beca furious, this affair could really be considered a wonder of the world.
“Such a person is just wasting food by being alive!” Chuxia bitterly finished speaking and quickly looked at Zhou Mikang, “But don’t kill them privately; getting into legal trouble over them isn’t worth it.”
“Worrying unnecessarly.” Zhou Mikang glared at her, “Let ili take you to eat. I’ll co find you at ili’s dormitory once I’m done.”
Chuxia waved dismissively, “I’m not hungry. I want to see what the Rao family has to say. Hmph, Rao Xue clearly wanted to harm but still had the nerve to be rude to . Zhou Mikang, if you dare help them, I will definitely fall out with you.”
ili, frightened, quickly glanced at her Third Cousin, planning that if she noticed any hints of his anger, she would drag the third sister-in-law away quickly, even if forcibly.
However, the expected anger did not arrive; instead, there was a nod of agreent.
Indeed, it was a case of a redy for the problem.
At that mont, the Rao family arrived too, and Qiao Gang was the first to push open the door and co in, laughing heartily as he clapped Zhou Mikang on the shoulder: “Brother, long ti no see, missed ?”
Zhou Mikang frowned and pushed him away, looking towards Father Rao and Mother Rao: “Hello, Uncle Rao, Auntie Rao.” Then he nodded at Rao Ying, signaling everyone to sit down and talk.
