Capítulo 999: Chapter 677: Unexpected Encounter and Surprise
“Hello, Aunt Guo.” Zhou Mikang greeted politely, putting his arm around Chuxia’s shoulders and introducing her, “This is my wife, Lin Chuxia. Aunt Guo hasn’t t her yet.”
Aunt Guo smiled and sized up Chuxia, nodding, “Not bad, really not bad. Mikang, you’re not being fair, getting married without telling your Aunt. Were you afraid I’d ruin things for you?”
“Aunt Guo, you’ve overthought it. We didn’t have a big ceremony back then, and considering how busy you were, we didn’t want to disturb you.” Zhou Mikang maintained a polite yet distant attitude, while Chuxia just greeted her without saying much else.
“Are you going to do future check-ups at our hospital?” Aunt Guo asked.
“Nothing’s decided yet. We ca here because of the equipnt.”
“Our hospital not only leads the nation with its equipnt but also with its skills in the obstetrics and gynecology departnt. Don’t be indecisive. Haven’t seen you in years; how about visiting Aunt’s office?”
“Maybe another day,” Zhou Mikang declined, “We just traveled from my wife’s hotown yesterday and got up early today. She needs rest.” He paused and added, “My wife is carrying twins, so it’s more exhausting.”
“Alright, alright…” Aunt Guo nodded repeatedly, “Let’s chat next ti when you’re here for a check-up. But you have to promise not to sneak away and avoid Aunt, okay?”
“Okay.” Zhou Mikang readily agreed.
Over there, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan were quietly waiting. Seeing the couple coming over, they quickly followed.
“Aunt Guo and Mom used to be good friends. Aunt Guo has a daughter nad Kim Lan, the sa age as Big Brother. Kim Lan likes Big Brother, but he doesn’t have feelings for her.
Aunt Guo hoped Big Brother and Kim Lan would be together, so she was always whispering in Mom’s ear, hoping Mom would take up Kim Lan’s case. Mom also liked Kim Lan and hoped Kim Lan could be her daughter-in-law, so she agreed.
Mom thought Big Brother was single, that’s why she agreed so readily. But when she talked to Big Brother, he ntioned he’s with Sister-in-law. Mom is open-minded and, of course, wouldn’t force them to break up.
At first, Mom felt embarrassed to explain the situation to Aunt Guo and wanted to wait for the right mont. Unexpectedly, Kim Lan saw Big Brother with Sister-in-law.
Then, Aunt Guo angrily confronted Mom, questioning if she was playing her, considering their family easy to bully. Mom explained the whole situation to her.
But Aunt Guo wouldn’t listen, insisting Mom looked down on their family’s conditions and was playing them. She even took it to Big Brother’s school, calling him Chen Shii.
If our family hadn’t already been cleared by then, she might have ruined Big Brother’s future. You might not feel it now, but back then, her actions were really too much.
I don’t want to deal with her now because I don’t want her getting close to Mom again. Soone so extre could cause trouble at any mont. You know how straightforward Mom is, for the sake of the family, keep so distance.
I don’t look for people I know when I go for check-ups to avoid any news reaching Aunt Guo since all the experts I know are aware of her relationship with Mom.
But who knew I’d run into her anyway? If other hospitals had ultrasound machines, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”
After getting in the car, Zhou Mikang took the initiative to explain the Zhou family’s grievances with Aunt Guo.
Chuxia noticed sothing off between Aunt Guo and Zhou Mikang’s interaction but didn’t expect this reason. She wanted to tease Zhou Xikang about his romantic luck but swallowed her words.
This era is different from later tis. She feared Zhou Mikang might take offense.
After hearing this, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan didn’t know what to say, and the car fell into silence.
Having known Chuxia for so long, how could Zhou Mikang not understand her personality? He smiled to break the silence: “Were you thinking of saying Big Brother is quite the troublemaker?”
“Hehe…” Chuxia, caught in her thoughts, laughed, “I was going to say, it’s normal for such an outstanding man to have a few admirers. Of course, you can take my words however you like.”
“This kid…” Zhao Yulan rubbed her daughter’s head, “How can you talk about your brother-in-law like that? You can’t be so casual in front of outsiders.”
Chuxia saluted in mock seriousness: “Yes, ma’am!”
As soon as they entered the Zhou family ho, Zhou Mikang was surrounded by scolding from the elders. They were all prepared to go together and were upset he sneaked out quietly, leaving them anxious at ho.
If not for Old Master Zhou stopping them, they might have gone to the hospital.
Zhou Xiangping and Zhou Jiping had also returned. Taking advantage of the chaos with the elders surrounding Zhou Mikang, they each tugged Chuxia into a room.
“Second Sister, Fourth Sister, when did you arrive?” Sitting down, Chuxia asked with a grin.
“We ca much earlier…” Zhou Xiangping glared at Chuxia, “It’s so inconsiderate. Such a big event, being so close, and yet you didn’t even notify !”
“I was too tired coming back, so I went to rest early,” Chuxia defended herself imdiately.
“Sumr… Sumr…”
Before Zhou Xiangping could say more, Lin Yanqiu rushed in like a gust of wind, excitedly grabbing Chuxia’s hand, staring at her belly like it was a gold ingot, unable to close her mouth… (To be continued.
