Chapter 1715 - 1126: PurposeChapter 1715: Chapter 1126: Purpose
Second watch.
----------
"I... I really don’t know how to go..." Seeing the public pressure losing its effect, Zheng Sanqiao panicked, grabbing Chuxia’s sleeve, tears rolling down, "I arrived in the Capital City yesterday. I only found this place after asking around for more than a day. It’s already so late now, by the time I find my way there, it will be dark. What... what should I do?"
"You also have times when you’re scared?" Chuxia looked at her coldly, "Sister Chuyue is your own daughter, how could you do such a thing? Even tigers don’t eat their cubs, and you? How can you have the nerve to come to us pretending to be pitiful?
Fine, even if your pitiful act isn’t fake and is real, who can you blame? Isn’t it your own doing? Every time you make a mistake, you just cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang yourself, and you always get your way, isn’t that what you’re used to?
Fine, I’ll pity you one last time..." Zheng Sanqiao immediately stopped crying, joy overflowing on her face. Before she could speak, Chuxia continued, "I’ll have Uncle Wang take you to the train station, and the hotel will be arranged for you. Just wait here."
"Xia..." Zheng Sanqiao clung tightly to Chuxia’s sleeve, "I promise, even if I find out where your family lives, I definitely won’t come looking for you again.
Can you just let me stay for the night? It’s my first time in the Capital City, at least..." She pointed to her clothes, "At least tidy up a bit before going back, otherwise, who knows what the villagers will say."
Looking at Zheng Sanqiao’s state, it was really embarrassing, anyone who didn’t know better would think she was begging in the city. Returning like this, she really would lose all her face.
Although Chuxia didn’t care whether she had face or not, since they were from the same village and once closely related, if she were just sent back like that, people might not blame her mistakes, but her parents couldn’t escape it. People are like this; although they know who’s right and who’s wrong, they have less tolerance and understanding for the lucky one.
"Alright, let’s go." In the end, Chuxia still chose to let her go home, actually, her previous firm attitude was to cut off Zheng Sanqiao’s thoughts.
People like Zheng Sanqiao are like this; the more straightforward you are, the less she takes it seriously. Next time she’ll be the same; after a few times, it really becomes a habit.
And now with it being this difficult to get what she wants, she will instead curb her improper thoughts and obediently follow arrangements.
Sure enough, as soon as Chuxia agreed to let her stay, Zheng Sanqiao couldn’t stop smiling, constantly thanking Chuxia on the way. To gain Chuxia’s favor, she proactively talked about her past disregard for relationships to Old Lady Zhao and Zhao Bingbing, constantly marveling at how generous and forgiving Chuxia’s family was...
Old Lady Zhao and Zhao Bingbing already saw through Zheng Sanqiao’s nature and more or less understood her character. Listening to her praise Chuxia now didn’t seem too false. The grandmother and granddaughter had never encountered such people and things before, so it was like listening to a storytelling session, thoroughly enjoying it, occasionally asking questions, which made Zheng Sanqiao even more enthusiastic in her recounting...
Lin Chuyue’s face turned red with embarrassment. Her mother was really making them lose face; people like her mom, who take their flaws as virtues, are probably unique in the world.
However, since Chuxia agreed to let her stay for the night, she naturally wouldn’t oppose it. After Chuxia’s scare, her mother wouldn’t dare to visit recklessly again.
Besides, although she said to let Zheng Sanqiao stay at a hotel, how could she really be at ease? People like Zheng Sanqiao, who are bullies at home, are just declawed and helpless in a big city. If something happened, she really would regret it for the rest of her life!
Regarding Zheng Sanqiao’s arrival, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe were both surprised. Chuxia first introduced Old Lady Zhao and Zhao Bingbing to them, and after everyone exchanged greetings and sat down, she recounted Zheng Sanqiao’s actions today.
Originally, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan thought their daughter had accepted Zheng Sanqiao, but after hearing it all, their gazes towards Zheng Sanqiao became visibly colder. Such a woman does not deserve to be a mother!
"Second brother, second sister-in-law..."
Lin Baohe waved her off, "No need to be so polite, just call us Baohe and Yulan. We have no relation at all anymore; it’s better to change the terms. We explained it clearly before, it’s better to change the titles."
Zhao Yulan immediately agreed, "That’s right, we’ve cut ties with the Lin family from Dalin Village, we can’t call each other ambiguously anymore. From now on, we’re just villagers; you’re older than us, so we’ll call you big brother and sister-in-law, and as for us, just call us by our names. We really can’t bear other titles."
Meanwhile, the two Old Lady Zhao were chatting so pleasantly, Zhao Bingbing sat on the side looking helplessly at her grandma. It seemed she really lacked friends. As soon as she entered, she was holding the lady’s hand, fondly calling her sister...
"Shall we arrange her in the west second room?" Lin Chuyue asked Chuxia, "Right next to my room."
"Alright."
"Come with me." Lin Chuyue tugged at the dazed Zheng Sanqiao sitting there, "Just stay in the room, no one wants to see you, you should be aware of that."
"I want to see Nannan and Beibei before going in..." Zheng Sanqiao looked to Chuxia for permission, "Are they asleep?"
"No, they visit several grandpas and grandmas every afternoon, and won’t be back for a while."
Chuxia’s words were already very clear, yet Zheng Sanqiao pretended to be oblivious and remained seated. She had finally come, and she was really unwilling to miss out like this.
Although she had just promised not to trouble them anymore, she wouldn’t be Zheng Sanqiao if she didn’t seize the opportunity and try a few more steps.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her despite her good words, and in the end, she had to slink back to the room.
"Child, you are also pitiful, to have such a mother..." Grandma Zhao Bingbing turned and looked at Lin Chuyue with an apologetic expression, "If I had known she was like this, I definitely wouldn’t have meddled back then.
The main reason was that I went to the countryside in those years, so I have a special feeling toward farmers. When I saw her dressed in rags and looking so dusty, my heart immediately felt uncomfortable. Alas, I didn’t realize that people are different."
"Grandma Zhao, this just shows that you are kind-hearted, don’t feel guilty." Lin Chuyue smiled at her, "Actually, I was just saying it, if she really left, I certainly couldn’t rest assured. Even if I don’t show up, I would definitely secretly follow her to the train station. So, it was your help that saved me from a lot of trouble. I should be thanking you."
"Look, Sister Yueyue and I still had reservations, didn’t we put on such a resolute stance because we feared you wouldn’t agree?" Chuxia laughed, "If I hadn’t come out in time, Sister Yueyue might not know where she’d be now. But the problem is, did you think about it, if you followed her, what would we do? We’d be worried sick! Reporting it would be ridiculous."
"Hehe..." Lin Chuyue laughed awkwardly, "After all, it’s not my home, even if I’m not reserved, it’s not right for me to make such decisions on my own. You’re originally sheltered by your husband’s family, how could I shamelessly join the commotion?"
"Forget it, I’m too lazy to talk about this..." Chuxia rolled her eyes at her, turned to Zhao Bingbing, "Want to come sit in my room? Looks like Grandma Zhao and my grandmother are having quite a good chat, you don’t have anything to worry about, come on."
"Okay." Zhao Bingbing stood up cheerfully and followed Chuxia to the room, mumbling along the way: "When your two sons come back, let me hold them, I haven’t held twin little boys yet."
"Sure, that’s no problem."
"Actually..." After sitting down in the room, Zhao Bingbing looked at Chuxia with an apologetic expression, "Regarding the task over there, I really don’t know much. At the time, I just wanted to be friends with you, that’s why I said it. I’m sorry."
"I brought you up, not to hear you leak information to me, just saw you sitting downstairs looking bored, not able to join the conversation, so I pulled you up.
Moreover, judging by your look, you seemed to have something you wanted to say to me, otherwise, you wouldn’t have insisted on coming to my house and even thrown out such a bait, right?"
"No wonder your grades are so good..." Zhao Bingbing sighed, "Yes, I found you because I had something to say, but let me clarify first, what I’m telling you is not for your benefit, it’s purely to vent my own feelings."
"Okay, go ahead."
"As far as I know, your husband and my cousin are on a task together now. My cousin is prettier and smarter than me, for the stability of your family, you should remind your husband not to fall for my cousin.
I used to have a boyfriend who was very good in every aspect, handsome too, we were already discussing marriage, but Zhao Weiwei stole him away.
When she stole Lang Yi, she had a boyfriend herself, and had already engaged, yet she always dragged us out together, saying it was convenient for two couples to shop.
I truly believed her, told her everything, and ended up one day with Lang Yi telling me he wanted to break up and apologetically said he fell for Zhao Weiwei.
I couldn’t believe it..." Zhao Bingbing shook her head with a smile, patting her forehead, "Now that I think about it, I was the dumbest fool in the world. Not only did I not believe it, but I even beat up Lang Yi, accusing him of slandering my cousin.
In the end, they became an inseparable pair while my poor former almost brother-in-law was like me, not believing my cousin betrayed him and went to beat up Lang Yi, hehe..." (To be continued.
