Chapter 1690: Chapter 1107: Harmony

Before dawn.

---------------

"Dajiang is pretty good." Chuxia glanced back at Zhou Hanying, "Haven’t you and Dajiang been in touch?"

"No." Zhou Hanying lowered her head in embarrassment, "It’s my fault, I don’t have the face to contact him. If it wasn’t for Li Yuxiang mentioning that she wrote to him just now, I also... I also wouldn’t have asked."

"Your personality..." With a sigh, Chuxia looked at her seriously, "It is indeed a bit tangled, but while people are young, they tend to make these kinds of mistakes, not knowing what exactly they’re looking for, hesitating back and forth, and then regretting it when it’s truly lost. Fortunately, you’re realizing your problem now and it’s not too late."

"Third sister-in-law, you’re younger than me." Zhou Hanying mumbled, "You never made mistakes like mine."

"Even if I wanted to make them, I wouldn’t have the chance..." Chuxia shrugged, "So honestly, I kind of envy you for having the chance to make such mistakes. After all, it’s part of growing up."

"Third sister-in-law, don’t comfort me. I’m aware of my own faults..." As she spoke, Zhou Hanying’s face turned red to the roots of her neck, "Actually, at that time, it was just because I felt older than Dajiang that I hesitated, nothing else."

"So, you mean, you still like him?"

"Mm!" After a moment’s hesitation, Zhou Hanying looked up seriously at Chuxia, "I’ve already recognized the flaw in my character, so I’ve decided to push myself to change.

Since it was my mistake back then, I’ll pick myself up from where I fell. Third sister-in-law, can you give me Dajiang’s address? I want to write to him, pursue him once more!"

"Let’s talk about it when he comes back..." Chuxia sighed, "Dajiang is still young and hasn’t experienced much. For now, let’s not disturb his thoughts, okay?

I promise you, when he returns, I’ll be the first to help you two connect. If Dajiang has any barriers in his heart because of past issues, I’ll help you explain."

"Thank you, third sister-in-law..." Zhou Hanying’s eyes immediately became bright and shiny, "When you write to Third Brother, can you tell Luan Dajiang not to believe Li Yuxiang’s words? She’s just messing with people. I know her intentions too well. If Dajiang gains military glory and becomes an officer, she’ll cling to him. If not, she’ll turn her back on him immediately!"

Chuxia nodded: "Okay, I’ll definitely pass that message."

"Third sister-in-law, you’re so kind!"

Chuxia looked at her with a half-smile, "Helping you makes me good, not helping makes me bad?"

"No, no..." Zhou Hanying waved her hands repeatedly, "What I mean is, it’s so kind of you, third sister-in-law, not to be mad about the mistakes I made before and still help me. I’m really, really grateful to you. I’m not good with words, but I know in my heart, rest assured, I will treat sister-in-law well from now on and no longer bring troublesome people around to upset her."

"That would be for the best. Doudou married your brother not long before he went on a mission. It’s not easy for her. If you keep creating little problems for her, how upset would she be?

But don’t worry, she’s not angry with you. Sometimes when you’re not on her side, it makes her feel a bit disappointed. From today, treating her well is not too late. When your brother comes back and sees the whole family happy and harmonious, he’ll definitely be very pleased!"

"Yes, third sister-in-law, I’ll listen to you. Whenever I’m undecided about something, I’ll consult you, okay?"

"Of course, but you can also consult your sister-in-law. After all, she has experienced more than you. To get closer to her, you must trust her, right?"

"Right!" Zhou Hanying nodded vigorously, smiling embarrassedly, "I often can’t figure things out, alright. In the future, if I’m undecided about something, I’ll ask sister-in-law first. If she can’t decide either, then I’ll ask you, third sister-in-law. Is that okay?"

"Of course!" Chuxia smiled at her, "Can we go in now?"

"Mm." Zhou Hanying nodded energetically, took Chuxia’s arm, and continued walking inside. After a few steps, she couldn’t help but whisper, "I didn’t hear Li Yuxiang’s voice. I guess she’s fixing her arm."

"She’s not stupid. Did you think she’d come in waving a loose arm to make a fuss?" Chuxia looked at her amused, "You were incoherent earlier. Were you really worried about that in your head?"

Zhou Hanying just smiled in embarrassment, essentially admitting to Chuxia’s assumption.

Chuxia smiled wryly, "You really are quite naive."

Zhou Hanying felt even more embarrassed, being much older than the others yet understanding nothing. It was truly shameful!

After the two sat down, Luo Xiaoqiong nudged Chuxia’s arm and asked quietly: "What about Li Yuxiang?"

"Hanying drove her away."

"Really?" Luo Xiaoqiong looked at Chuxia incredulously, "How did she bring herself to do that?"

"Listen to yourself, if Hanying heard that, how heartbroken she would be?" Chuxia gave her a sideways glance and changed the topic, "Did Doudou go back to the room?"

Luo Xiaoqiong nodded, "Yeah, if I weren’t waiting for you, I would have gone back too. My mom took Longlong over first. Why don’t you come and eat with us?"

"I’ll go over a little later. If we all leave, this table will look so empty..." Chuxia lowered her voice even more, "After all, I’m representing Zhou Mikang right now. If I leave, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou might think I’m upset." As she said this, she glanced at Zhou Hanying’s seat, and Luo Xiaoqiong understood immediately, "Alright, I’ll head over first."

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were a bit surprised not to see Li Yuxiang. While the relatives were enthusiastically eating, Mother Zhou pulled her daughter aside and quietly asked, "Where did Li Yuxiang go?"

"Mom, I’ll tell you the details when we get home. All I can say now is that she’s gone, and from now on, she’s no longer my friend."

Mother Zhou nodded and didn’t press further.

She understood her daughter’s character well. Since she said it like that, there must be truth to it. It seems Li Yuxiang did something that deeply hurt her daughter; otherwise, with her daughter’s character, she wouldn’t make such a decision.

Perhaps the wife of Division Commander Zhou played a part in this?

With that in mind, Mother Zhou gratefully glanced at Chuxia.

Just then, Chuxia looked over, and after a brief thought, understood Mother Zhou’s meaning, giving her a gentle smile in return. She then said to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, "Uncle, Aunt, Nannan and Beibei should be awake soon. I’ll go check on them and come back in a while." Being here with everyone watching her was too uncomfortable, and since everyone knew Nannan and Beibei weren’t even a year old, it wouldn’t raise any suspicions if she left after greeting them.

"Alright, alright, alright." The couple quickly stood up, responding eagerly.

The two little ones had fallen asleep before the meal, so it became Chuxia’s excuse to leave.

"What’s really going on?" As soon as Chuxia walked in, Luo Xiaoqiong asked eagerly, "How could Li Yuxiang just leave? Didn’t she come today to catch a golden bachelor?"

"Oh right..." Chuxia slapped her forehead, "I really didn’t think about that. Never mind, she’s gone. Whether or not she had that intention doesn’t matter anymore..."

After Chuxia recounted what Li Yuxiang had done, Yun Doudou was so furious her face turned red, "That woman is such a jerk. Next time I see her, I’ll teach her a lesson!"

"She better not run into me either!" Luo Xiaoqiong said angrily, "Shameless and still trying to bluff and cheat, such a woman should end up never getting married and becoming a laughingstock!"

"Is not getting married really the worst outcome?" Liu Meijun said slowly, "We should hope she finally ends up with a lazy bum instead!"

"So our Meijun is the most ruthless one after all..." Luo Xiaoqiong laughed, hugging Liu Meijun’s shoulder, "I’ll be sure not to offend you in the future, too merciless when you take revenge!"

"Don’t worry, even if you do offend me, I wouldn’t do that to you." Liu Meijun smiled at her, "My ruthlessness is only for enemies, never for friends."

"I believe that." Yun Doudou nodded, "Meijun usually seems easy-going, but if someone really crosses her, they’ll definitely regret it. When it matters, she’s more decisive than Xiaoqiong."

"Xiaoqiong just has a sharp tongue..." Liu Meijun glanced at Luo Xiaoqiong disdainfully, "When I think about how she got teased working next to Director Xu, I feel embarrassed for her. With so many powerful backers, she still managed to end up like that, truly impressive..."

"She didn’t want to make things difficult for Director Xu..."

"No..." Chuxia interrupted Luo Xiaoqiong, "It’s actually because when it comes to your own matters, you can’t be ruthless, but when it’s about us, you’re more decisive than anyone."

After a quick thought, Liu Meijun nodded, "That’s actually true..." She turned her head to look seriously at Luo Xiaoqiong, "Sorry, I wronged you earlier, you can hit me."

"I can’t be bothered to hit you, it’ll hurt my hand..." Luo Xiaoqiong lazily smiled, "I’ll keep a record of this, and when I need you someday, you’ll have to follow my orders immediately."

"No problem!" Liu Meijun looked at her amusedly, "That’s why I said you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Knowing that I’ll always be there for anything related to you, you still make such demands, you’re clearly going easy on me."

"You figured that out too..." Luo Xiaoqiong giggled as she looked at her, "If you really care for me, treat me even better in the future. Oh, by the way, I found a great guy in my class, he’s also from A City. Want me to introduce you?"

Yun Doudou turned to look at her, "You mean Qi Jie?"

"Yes." Luo Xiaoqiong nodded, "Don’t you think he and our Meijun are a great match?"

"Come on, give me a high five!"

"You think so too?" Luo Xiaoqiong looked at Yun Doudou with surprise, "Really?" (To be continued.
