Chapter 892: Chapter 602: eting
The second update is here.

“You just watched once more, tried it again, and you learned?” Zhou Hanliang’s eyes were practically popping out, “I took a whole half month learning to drive before I dared hit the road.”
“Everyone’s got different talents…” Chuxia smiled at him, “I might not be as good as you in other areas, but when it cos to this, you’re definitely not as good as , so heaven’s actually pretty fair.”
“More than just a bit stronger, I can’t even catch up with Sister-in-law on horseback.” Zhou Hanliang looked at Zhou Mikang, “Commander, you were also surprised the first ti you saw Sister-in-law drive, right?”
“What’s there to be surprised about?”
Zhou Mikang dropped this sentence, slamd the pedal, and the car sped out. Zhou Hanliang stood dumbfounded for a while, then looked up at the sky to make sure he wasn’t dreaming before going back to the office with a puzzled expression—he was sowhat confused, since even Zhou Mikang took a week to gather the courage to drive on the road, why wasn’t he surprised at Lin Chuxia being able to drive on the road after just watching and practicing once?
Fat Auntie and Luo Gangshun had already returned to their room and seeing their daughter limping while being supported by Chuxia, Fat Auntie quickly stepped forward to help: “What happened?”
“I twisted my ankle by walking too fast.” Afraid that Chuxia would reveal the truth, Luo Xiaoqiong quickly lied.
“Twisting an ankle just from walking…” Fat Auntie scolded her daughter, “You’ve been in the army for over six months, how co you’re still not as nimble as before?”
“I walked a bit too fast, and there was a loose rock I didn’t see, and just like that, I fell for it.” Luo Xiaoqiong said while sucking in the cold air, “This dicine burns like fire, it’s really uncomfortable.”
“More comfortable not twisting that ankle…” Fat Auntie gave her a look, “You’d better watch your step from now on. If there were a well in front of you, would you just fall right in?”
“Mom, co on, you’re exaggerating, I’m not that clumsy.” Luo Xiaoqiong said while waving at Chuxia, “Don’t worry about , just carry on with your own business.”
Fat Auntie quickly agreed: “Yes, yes, Commander Zhou, Chuxia, go on with your own stuff, Xiaoqiong’s father and I can take care of her. Hongqi will also be over in a bit.”
It was just after nine, still early enough not to delay the New Year’s visits. Chuxia and Zhou Mikang bade farewell to the family and went ho to find Zhou Xikang to continue their New Year’s journey. They visited four hos in the morning, and after lunch, Chuxia and Zhou Mikang headed to Jin Yu’s shop.
Lian Rui had been waiting there, and when she saw Zhou Mikang enter hand in hand with Chuxia, her gaze visibly turned awkward.
A pale complexion, delicate features, and a tall figure, the woman before them was rather ordinary but her gaze was a bit too sharp. Chuxia understood, seeing herself as a rival in love from Lian Rui’s perspective.
“Hi Lian Rui, this is my wife Lin Chuxia.” Zhou Mikang introduced.
“Hi, Zhou Mikang,” Lian Rui forced a smile, “Can’t believe you got married in the blink of an eye, ti really just flies by. All I rember is you were hanging out with Jin Yu back when you were in college.”
“Haha…”
Zhou Mikang’s laugh was rather formal, and Lian Rui’s face turned even paler. After hesitating for a mont, she looked at Chuxia: “Are you upset about asking Zhou Mikang to co over?”
“Not upset.” Chuxia quickly waved a hand, “He brought with him, why should I be upset? Plus, I trust his character, he’d never do anything improper, I believe in him.”
“Really?” Lian Rui fixated on her, “Are you sure, you completely trust him?”
“Of course!”
“Then why did you co along?”
“He asked to.”
“If he hadn’t asked you to co along, would you have co?”
“I wouldn’t have.”
“It’s easy to say now, but if I asked you before you ca, your answer might have been different. I’ve known him for a while, and as far as I know, he wouldn’t bring you unless he was afraid of a misunderstanding.”
“Alright, whatever you say.” Chuxia looked at him speechlessly, “But let remind you, if you forget why you asked us here and keep arguing with about trivial stuff, I can’t guarantee he’ll still want to talk with you.”
“You’re totally upset, and deliberately trying to threaten .”
“She’s not threatening you, she’s considering your interests…” Zhou Mikang looked at her steadily, “If it weren’t for the promise to Jin Yu and on behalf of Jin Yu, I would’ve left with my wife the mont you asked her the first question.”
“Alright, I was wrong…” Lian Rui looked at Zhou Mikang, “Can we talk privately?” Then she looked at Chuxia, “Is that alright?”
“It’s up to him, I won’t interfere.” Chuxia said, looking at Zhou Mikang, “Go ahead and talk, just report back to afterward.”
Jin Yu: “…”
Lian Rui: “…”
In their mind, Zhou Mikang wouldn’t stand for it. No matter how deeply he cared for his young wife, he wouldn’t allow her to trample on his dignity before others.
However, reality completely surprised them. Zhou Mikang actually nodded compliantly: “Alright, I’ll report to you after the talk…” Then he turned to Lian Rui, “Do you still want to talk?”
“No need…” Lian Rui shook her head and sighed, “I already know how you feel about , there’s no need to humiliate myself further. Now all I hope is that you can find the culprit and put him in jail, and it’d be best if he stayed there for life.”
Zhou Mikang nodded: “Alright, I can promise to try, but after so many years, whether we can find anything depends on fate and luck.”
“I know it’s extrely difficult, that’s why I asked for your help…” Lian Rui smiled bitterly, “If I can’t bring him to justice, I’ll feel resentful for the rest of my life.”
“But I must make one thing clear, if we investigate, the humiliation you suffered back then might beco known to so people. You have to be ntally prepared for that.”
“I understand.” Lian Rui nodded, “I’m ready for that, and when I go on blind dates, I’ll tell the other person about it. If they mind, then we’re done, and if they don’t, then I’ll marry them.”
“Sis…” Jin Yu looked at her helplessly, “I truly admire your willingness to face this positively, but bringing it up during a blind date basically shows that you’re not interested in getting married.
The whole point of a blind date is to check each other’s appearance, learn about family background, and see if the family mbers get along. If you bring this up right away, what do you think they’ll think?”
“Think I’m crazy, right.” Lian Rui waved dismissively, “They can think whatever they want, I don’t care. What I want is soone who truly knows how to appreciate .” (To be continued.
