Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1696: Chapter 1112: Reconciliation

Second watch.

---------

"Mom..." Yun Doudou looked helplessly at her mother who was acting jealous, "I’m your daughter, you should know that I wouldn’t do anything that would give people things to gossip about, right?"

"I wouldn’t be so sure..." Lan Ailian gave her daughter a sideways glance and looked at Zhao Yulan, "Nowadays kids keep everything in, we as parents can only guess and worry, right?"

"Hehe..." Zhao Yulan, who was pulled into this unexpectedly, could only respond with an awkward smile, and Yun Doudou glared at her mother, "Mom, please don’t make it hard for Aunt Yulan, you’re clearly overthinking and dragging her into it for no reason.

You don’t like Aunt Yue, I know, but me letting him bring Qi Jie over really isn’t without reason, nor is it to flatter Aunt Yue. They’re coming over soon, and I’ll explain it to you later, okay?"

Lan Ailian reluctantly nodded, agreeing to her daughter’s request. No matter how unhappy she was, she couldn’t let outsiders see her make a fool of herself. Hmph! Even though she doesn’t have a son, she married a good husband, and that’s enough!

This Qi Jie is indeed that Qi Jie.

Seeing the man who entered with Yue Aishan, both Yun Doudou and Luo Xiaoqiong quickly greeted him.

Nearly 1.8 meters tall, with handsome features and clear eyes, he seemed like a decent man. Chuxia observed him for a few moments and realized she didn’t recognize him, so she gave a friendly smile and introduced herself: "Hello Big Brother Qi, I’m also a student at Medical University."

"I know." With the room full of women, Qi Jie seemed a bit uneasy, and he blushed while smiling, "You and Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou are often together, I’ve seen you before."

"This is our good friend Liu Meijun." Luo Xiaoqiong specially pulled Liu Meijun forward, "She’s now a nurse at 401, and we all interned together. Meijun is filial, so she stayed."

Qi Jie quickly greeted Liu Meijun: "Hello, I’m Qi Jie, a doctor in the Surgery Department at People’s Hospital."

"Hello, I’m still an intern nurse, I can’t compare with you." Liu Meijun politely responded, while clearly explaining her status.

Lan Ailian and Yue Aishan, being experienced, could immediately gauge the situation from their posture. If they couldn’t guess what was happening, they’d truly be clueless. Regardless of their private opinions of each other, neither wanted to be the third wheel at this moment, "Doudou, you all chat with Qi Jie, and I’ll go out with your Aunt Yue to check on the guests. It’s not right for me not to appear." As Lan Ailian spoke, she pulled Yue Aishan and left.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yulan also followed them out. Although she was very familiar with the younger generation, her staying behind would still make everyone feel uneasy, so she sensibly decided to leave.

"Ailian, thank you..." After stepping out, Yue Aishan first thanked Lan Ailian, then turned back to apologize to Zhao Yulan, "Sorry for causing you to come out as well, really apologies."

"No need to be polite, we’re all mothers, how can we not understand the younger generation’s thoughts?" Zhao Yulan laughed and waved her hand, "Besides, I’ve been here for quite a while, I should visit the in-laws now, you two chat, I’ll be off."

"Ailian..." Once Zhao Yulan left, Yue Aishan looked seriously at Lan Ailian, "Please don’t misunderstand Fengshan. To him, there’s no trace of romantic feelings left for me. He helps me because he pities me, and the choices I made back then are why I ended up as I am today; I have only myself to blame.

This time coming to Huhu’s full-month celebration, I’ve debated with myself for ages. I felt I shouldn’t come, but thinking about all the help Fengshan has given me over the years, not coming felt inappropriate.

Your drinking back then made me regret my decision immediately, Ailian, Fengshan only has you in his heart, he’s just that responsible and devoted man, don’t overthink his intentions."

"You’ve misunderstood, I wasn’t overthinking..." Lan Ailian gave Yue Aishan a faint smile, "I’ve lived with this man for over twenty years, how could I not know his character?

I admit, I have the common weakness of women, not wanting my husband to always be connected with an ex, not because I don’t trust him, but because I hope I’m the only one in his heart.

I believe you can understand this sentiment, right? My daughter just criticized me for being too petty, I’ve reflected on it, and indeed, my view was too narrow.

We used to be best friends; how can we truly become enemies because of a man? Isn’t that right?"

"Alas..." With a faint sigh, Yue Aishan gave a bitter smile, "Actually, I understand your feelings, and I’ve always blamed myself for lacking courage. Why do I keep accepting Yun Fengshan’s help, knowing you dislike me?

But in the face of reality, courage can really be defeated by practical needs. Without his help, Little Jie couldn’t have entered People’s Hospital back then; even if he did later, without Fengshan’s help, Little Jie would have been squeezed out of the hospital.

Little Jie’s dad, you know without me saying it, is essentially selfish to the core, otherwise he wouldn’t have made such a demand back then.

In his eyes, I am merely a tool for the Qi family to continue the family line; he needs a woman, any woman could be that woman, and she must comply with their arrangements in everything.

When I first married into the family, I resented and hated, but in the end, I could only compromise again. Even if I could run away myself, what about Little Jie? And my parents?

You might think I’m stupid. Clearly, my parents sold me out for my brother, yet I still devote myself wholeheartedly to them. But what else could I do?

What’s more, later they regretted it. Unfortunately, not everything in this world can be undone; the marriage has happened, children have been born, what can regret achieve?

So all my hope now rests on Little Jie. As long as he finds a good match and has a warm home, I would be content for the rest of my life.

Ailian, I’m telling you all this so you understand, I would never have any designs on your family, nor would I do anything to disrupt your family.

Accepting Yun Fengshan’s help is just to ensure that the Qi family doesn’t bully me too much and that they won’t go overboard when Little Jie gets married. In the past, the Qi family said unpleasant things due to Yun Fengshan’s help, but later, after realizing what Yun Fengshan’s position represents, they really didn’t dare say anything.

I’m very sorry to shamelessly accept your family’s help, but for the sake of my son, please forgive me, alright?"

"Fool..." Lan Ailian gently embraced her. "Why didn’t you tell me this earlier? You’re such a fool, suffering so much injustice, how unworthy. It’s just a matter of a word, you... sigh!"

Yue Aishan smiled bitterly: "It’s not that I haven’t thought about explaining to you, but every time I open my mouth, I don’t know how to say it. Today, if I hadn’t seen you degrading yourself or seen Doudou help Qi Jie so much, I wouldn’t have said it either. Sigh, people are like this, they need to go through some things to have the courage to do some things."

"Doudou was probably introducing Meijun to Qi Jie. She’s a particularly smart and sensible child. However, her family only has one daughter. If it really happens, Qi Jie must be responsible for the Yue family. If you don’t object, you can let them try. If you can’t accept it, it’s best to speak with Qi Jie early to avoid future difficulties for the children."

Since the knot in her heart was untied, Lan Ailian frankly shared what she knew with Yue Aishan.

"I’m not that old-fashioned. If the girl’s family is willing to accept Qi Jie, I don’t mind having Qi Jie live with them..." Sighing, Yue Aishan spread her hands. "Listening to me, you can understand how difficult it is for me with the Qi family all these years, right? You won’t hate me anymore, will you?"

"Originally, I didn’t hate you, it’s just..." After a pause, Lan Ailian smiled sheepishly, "Just think of it as an insecure person always throwing a tantrum."

"What is there for you to be insecure about?" Yue Aishan shook her head. "I envied you back then! Good family background, good looks, parents so understanding. I dreamed of having conditions like yours!"

"We’ve already wasted so many years. In the future, let’s cherish each other..." Lan Ailian looked at Yue Aishan seriously, "If you need any help, just ask me, I will try my best to help you."

Yue Aishan nodded: "Okay, I won’t be polite with you." Clearing up years of conflicts, their friendship returned to its original state.

The next day, Qi Jie returned to Capital City with Chuxia and others. This time he came back because the hospital had urgent business for him; once finished, he still needed to continue his studies.

To put it plainly, this kind of study is preparation for the next step of promotion, meaning that when Qi Jie returns from studying, he will be assuredly a chief physician.

Being a 25-year-old chief physician is quite impressive.

"Big Brother Qi, you know why I came to see you yesterday, right?" On the way, Yun Doudou asked directly.

"I know." Qi Jie nodded. "Liu Meijun is a good girl. If she’s willing, I hope we can try dating. However, it’s best to tell her about my family’s real situation, so that when feelings deepen, there’s no struggle over such matters."

"Don’t even mention it." Yun Doudou rolled her eyes, "Yesterday, although your aunt didn’t explicitly talk about your family’s situation, the implication was pretty clear. Meijun isn’t stupid, how could she not understand?"

"Then..." After hesitating, Qi Jie looked at Yun Doudou somewhat nervously, "Did she say anything about her impression of me?"

"Guess!"

Qi Jie: "..." If he could guess, would he ask? Can he tell them he stayed up half the night pondering this without sleeping? (Unfinished.
