Chapter 450: Chapter 312: Return
Today and tomorrow, there will be only one update. Family mbers are having a tough ti at work and in a bad mood, so Nuan didn’t feel good about typing away alone after coming back at night. The day after tomorrow, there will be two updates.
———————————————————–
“Lin Chuxia!”
Just as Chuxia was about to go upstairs, Rao Ying turned the corner. Her complexion was bruised, her appearance trembling, which startled Chuxia, “What happened to you?”
“I had a fight with Qiao Gang.” Rao Ying held her arms, “Can I talk to you alone? It’s about my sister.”
“This…” Chuxia glanced at the ti, “I can give you ten minutes, but for your sister’s matter, I probably can’t be of much help. You know very well what she did to . To tell you the truth, I’m not that magnanimous. Perhaps, you should register and get so dicine first?”
“No need!” Rao Ying shook her head, “Do you plan to talk here?”
“Let’s go up to the second floor.” Chuxia led the way upstairs. At the end of the second-floor corridor, there were several rooms piled with miscellaneous items, basically deserted. Once steady, she looked indifferently at Rao Ying, “Go ahead.”
“Do you think you’re worthy of Zhou Mikang?” Rao Ying asked bluntly.
“Of course.”
“In what way are you worthy?”
“You have no right to ask that.”
“Fine, let ask in a different way, what have you done for him?”
“No comnt.”
“Hmm, so that ans you haven’t done anything for him to boast about, right? But do you know what Ye iru has done?”
Chuxia cast her a brief glance and walked away.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Rao Ying grabbed her abruptly, “It hasn’t been ten minutes yet, where are you going?”
“I agreed to talk to you, but that doesn’t an I want to listen to you play at being the big bad wolf here. Who do you think you are, to have the right to discuss these pointless things with ?
You need to understand, you’re the one seeking , not the other way around. You have no right to bargain with , got it?” Chuxia pointed at the hand clutching her sleeve, “Let go!”
Rao Ying’s expression froze, and she quickly apologized, “I’m sorry! My relationship with my sister has always been the closest, so seeing her end up in this situation today really hurts inside, I got a bit carried away.
Look at my body…” She rolled up her sleeves and lifted her clothes, revealing patches of bruises, “This is from getting beaten up by Qiao Gang.
When I asked whether you deserved Zhou Mikang, or what you had done for him, what I really wanted was to tell you that marrying Zhou Mikang would be a huge blessing.
Zhou Mikang might be stubborn, but he truly protects his woman and wouldn’t hit her. If you hadn’t appeared, he would definitely have beco my brother-in-law.
If he had beco my brother-in-law, I wouldn’t have had to marry Qiao Gang. If he had beco my brother-in-law, Qiao Gang wouldn’t dare treat like this.
Before you ca into the picture, no other girl was a threat to my sister. The fruit of her many years of waiting was picked by you, how could she bear it?
True, her actions were terribly wrong, but you weren’t hard. On the contrary, as a result, the Xiao father and son were sent to prison, which actually benefited the Zhou family.
Being kind to others is being kind to oneself. Xuexue is still at the flower of her age; if she gets a criminal sentence, her life will be over. This stain will follow her for the rest of her life.
Lin Chuxia, I know I have no right to ask anything of you, but please, look at what I’ve reduced myself to for my sister’s sake and show so rcy, okay?
I promise, my sister will never trouble you again. I will send her to grandma’s house, so she will never appear before you again, deal?”
Chuxia sized her up, “You really love your sister a lot, don’t you?”
“Yes, I love her very much.”
“You’re a good sister.” Chuxia nodded with a smile, “But you asked the wrong person. This isn’t sothing I can decide. Sorry, I have to go to work now.”
“You’re a heartless beast!” Rao Ying stood behind her, gritting her teeth. She had her pride too, and having to say so many humble words was her limit. Chuxia hadn’t been moved in the slightest, which left her struggling to hold back her emotions.
“Say what you like.” Chuxia turned back, looking at her faintly, “When your sister was helping others plot against , did she ever consider what would happen to if they succeeded?” With that, she turned the corner and disappeared from the second floor.
Rao Ying’s body swayed, and she closed her eyes, forcing herself to stay calm.
If the Xiao father and son had succeeded, of course, she knew what would have beco of Lin Chuxia, but from her own perspective, since it didn’t co to that, and she had lowered herself so much to plead with her, she should have given Rao Xue a chance.
Since she’s being so ungrateful, she wouldn’t mind showing less courtesy.
Originally, she thought that Zhou Mikang’s life had finally stabilized, and she didn’t want to go too far. But now, they forced her to take this step.
…
On her way, Lin Chuxia ran into Jing Zhe, who sized her up and asked, “Who upset you? You look as puffed up as a toad.”
“Have you ever seen such a pretty toad?” Chuxia glanced at him, “I’m off to work, don’t feel like dealing with you.”
“Such a fiery temper.” Jing Zhe shook his head and headed to his office. He noticed two young n approaching, eyed one of them—an effeminate man with gold-rimd glasses—and tentatively asked, “Jiang Qi?”
“It’s .” The effeminate man gave him a smile, “You really have sharp eyes, recognizing even in this guise.”
“Didn’t recognize , did you?” The other muscular man laughed proudly, “Seems like my disguise is a success.”
“Ma Chao?”
“Damn, you recognized too.” The muscular man slapped his head, “Right, it’s .”
“What are you two doing here?” Jing Zhe pulled them towards his office, “Haven’t we not seen each other for five or six years? Co on, let’s sit in my office for a while.”
But the two n didn’t budge, and Jiang Qi leaned closer, lowering his voice, “We’ll have plenty of ti to chat later. Not now, though. Ma Chao and I are responsible for protecting your pretty toad.”
Jing Zhe was surprised, then burst into laughter, “If that girl heard you, see how she’d tattle to Zhou Mikang. Anyway, what happened to her earlier? Who upset her?”
Ma Chao nodded at Jiang Qi, “I’ll head over first; you catch up with Second Brother.”
“Alright.” Jiang Qi waved him off and lowered his voice, recounting the conversation between Lin Chuxia and Rao Ying to Jing Zhe.
“That’s my sister for you.” Jing Zhe gave a thumbs up, “I’ve always been worried she’s too kind and would suffer for it. Now it seems my worries were unnecessary.”
“Yeah, I thought she would be hit hard by that woman. Instead, she ended up making her so angry she nearly fell backward. But it’s quite interesting how furious she was, despite clearly having the advantage,” Jiang Qi remarked.
“Can’t say it like that. Rao Ying had no right to go after her. She was mad because, clearly in the wrong, they still bothered her…” Jing Zhe chuckled, “This girl really is quite similar to Zhou Mikang in temperant. No wonder Mikang picked her out early. I was puzzled how Old Zhou’s usually poor judgnt was so accurate this ti.”
“Just admit defeat.” Jiang Qi punched him playfully, “Don’t tell her. Ma Chao and I want to see when she’ll figure out who we are.”
“Sure.” Jing Zhe punched him back, “I’ll leave my sister’s safety in your hands. But you two, why would you willingly do this job?”
“Boss’s orders. Could I really refuse?” Jiang Qi made a bitter face, “I would have preferred to be on a mission, but…” He sighed, then added, “But to let the boss do his thing with peace of mind, it’s worth it. Couldn’t believe the boss would fall for such a young girl.”
Jing Zhe’s face fell, “What, you look down on my sister?”
“Not at all, not at all.” Jiang Qi quickly held up his hands in a placating gesture, backing away, “Who has the guts for that? For you and the boss to be so protective, could she be just anyone? Go on with your work…”
…
Ye Family.
Old Master Ye’s face was dark as he looked at soone sitting on the couch, silent. Beside him, Grandma Ye was gently stroking his hand.
“Dad, she’s willing to settle down and get married quietly, so please don’t be mad at her anymore, okay?” Ye iru’s mother, Qiang Yuxian, pleaded for her daughter with a look of desperation.
Father Ye, Ye Zhongliang, was silent, head lowered, but his expression showed that he did not approve of his daughter’s hasty marriage.
Ye iru was kneeling opposite the elders, crying like a rain-soaked pear blossom: “…Grandpa, I was afraid you’d be unhappy, that’s why I didn’t dare to bring him ho now. Grandpa, if it weren’t for making ands for my past mistakes, why would I marry a man whose face was completely disfigured?
I’ve done this much, and you still won’t forgive . Grandpa, am I even your granddaughter? Do you have even the slightest bit of compassion for ?”
“Ah!” Old Master Ye finally let out a heavy sigh, “If I didn’t care about you, do you think you’d have been able to live so comfortably all these years?
Forget it, I don’t want to dwell on the past. Let bygones be bygones. From now on, live a good, honest life, and stop causing a bunch of trouble.”
Ye iru imdiately stopped sobbing, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
“Get up,” Old Master Ye said.
“Ouch!” Having knelt too long, her legs had gone numb, and Ye iru collapsed onto the floor. Qiang Yuxian quickly helped her daughter up, her face full of pity, “You foolish child, you’re already married, and yet you do such things. Who are you fighting with?”
“Didn’t Grandpa just say it? I must make ands for my mistakes with actions.” Ye iru shuffled next to Grandma Ye, affectionately wrapping her arms around her grandmother’s arm, “Grandma, I’ve been so worried these past few days, scared that Grandpa would kick out again.”
“Your grandpa just wanted to give you a lesson, he wouldn’t really kick you out again.” Grandma Ye chuckled as she embraced her granddaughter, “If that’s what he really wanted, would he have let you stay at ho?” (To be continued.
