Chapter 1342 - 886: Seeking Help in Person
First watch.
----------------
"Is Xiaoyan going to find the Qian family?" After Qian Yan left, Zhao Yulan walked up to her daughter and asked, "Doesn’t she not get along with the Qian family? Going at this time, it probably won’t help, right?"
"Whether it helps or not, she has to try, otherwise she’ll feel uncomfortable. Moreover, after this, she’ll need to reevaluate how to interact with the Qian family."
"Oh!" Zhao Yulan sighed, "Speaking of which, the child is quite pitiful too. She’s not favored by her grandparents since childhood, her father doesn’t love her, only her mother cares, but can’t give her all her love. And now this happened, oh..."
"Mom, you’re not thinking about my childhood again, are you?" Watching her own mother tear up, Chuxia immediately guessed the reason. "I’m not like her, Mom, we’ve said this so many times, why are you still stuck on this?"
"No, I’m just worried about you. I didn’t take care of your health when you were young. Xia, listen to me, you must take care of your body. I know you can’t sit still, but your health foundation is truly weak.
These days, I’ve been worried sick, afraid that something might go wrong. I also know persuading you to stay at home all day won’t work for you, but you must be more careful, alright?
Seeing you go up and down the stairs without slowing down, walking fast, it’s been six months, you can’t keep doing this. Whether it’s for yourself, for the child, or for us elders, listen to me, okay?"
So, my mom pretending to let me go to school so happily was just an act?
Chuxia sighed helplessly, well, if not for one’s own family, who would worry every day like this? Even though she said there are people protecting her at school, how can her parents really be at ease?
"Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely take care of myself, I will be careful..." Chuxia hugged Zhao Yulan’s arm and shook it coyly, "Mom has to trust me."
"I trust you, but I feel anxious even when trusting," Zhao Yulan said honestly, glancing at Zhou Jingping with a bitter smile, "In-laws, it’s our fault for not teaching the child well, sorry."
"No... no..." Zhou Jingping, who had been listening to the mother and daughter talk the whole time, quickly waved his hand, "Chuxia has a very good personality, we all like her."
"You like her, but you’re worried too, right? This child doesn’t listen, even with this condition, she’s still running to school every day, doesn’t behave like a mother-to-be at all."
"Keeping the child at home all day can be stifling. Actually, going to school is still good; she can learn something and relax her mind. Anyway, there are people protecting her, as long as they’re careful, generally, there won’t be any problem."
Zhao Yulan sighed again, "But who can guarantee that? Still, what you said is very true. Xia, with this personality, that’s just how she is. Let her stay at home, she’ll probably get sick from it; let her go out, and we can’t help but worry. Sigh, being a parent is like this, always worrying, and the child doesn’t appreciate it."
"It’s natural for parents to worry, and children not appreciating is because they’re not at that age yet, haven’t gone through enough experiences, but once they do, they’ll understand."
"You’re so understanding toward our Xia, it’s truly her good fortune. Her father and I have always worried that her stubbornness would make her husband’s family dislike her, but now it seems we were overthinking."
"We don’t dislike her, don’t dislike her, we all like Xia’s personality."
...
In an instant, Chuxia understood why her mom suddenly acted like this. If she hadn’t held back, she would have laughed. Looking at her seemingly honest mom, she sure is clever.
Before, Zhou Hanliang told her Zhou Jingping definitely wouldn’t be at ease letting her go to school. Her mom immediately acted in front of Zhou Jingping, clearly forcing him to express that he won’t make her leave campus.
Alright, the problem she had been worrying about was resolved by her mom like that. It seems, in the future, she needs to refresh her understanding of her mom and dad.
"Chuxia, come home for dinner, rest well after lunch, go to school if you have classes in the afternoon, if not, rest at home, and visit Xiaomi tomorrow when you have time."
Someone was still enjoying themselves, then the father-in-law issued a ’leave order’.
The father-in-law had already compromised, it wouldn’t make sense for her to keep being stubborn. So, she agreed quickly and went home with Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe. Anyway, with her father-in-law taking care of Zhou Mikang, there’s nothing for her to worry about.
Once downstairs, she first went to Wan Yuqiong’s ward for a look.
Old Master Wan sat at the head of the bed, staring at Wan Yuqiong in a daze, while Elder Qi, Old Madam Qi, and Sister-in-law Yin sat side by side against the wall. Zhou Hanliang stood at the door.
After nodding to greet Zhou Hanliang, Chuxia first walked over to Elder Qi and whispered, "Master, Zhou Mikang is injured, he’s upstairs. Could I trouble you to take a look at him?"
"I won’t go." Without thinking, Elder Qi rejected her request.
"Master..."
Elder Qi waved his hand: "Everyone has their own specialties. If I were able to treat him better, I would certainly intervene. But if I know that I am not as good as others and still butt in to show off, it would only make people dislike me. Do you want your master to become someone who is disliked?"
"Of course not..." Chuxia looked conflicted, "You mean, Director Xun is the most skilled in this area?"
"Yes." Elder Qi nodded, "I just talked to Xiao Zhou, and he explained everything to me. I don’t think there’s any need for me to get involved; otherwise, I would have gone up earlier..." He thought for a moment and gestured with his chin towards Old Master Wan, "He doesn’t know about this, and even now, he hasn’t noticed Xiao Zhou."
Chuxia frowned, "Did something else happen after I left?" Otherwise, Old Master Wan’s condition wouldn’t have worsened like this.
Elder Qi nodded and sighed, "Wan Yuqiong has been calling for Dakun, and Qian Yan said that’s her brother’s name."
No wonder Qian Yan wanted to bring her brother over. It turned out to be like this... Chuxia sighed, unable to find the right words. As a father, Old Master Wan’s feelings at this moment can be imagined.
His daughter married the wrong man, and now she has to be separated from her child. As a father, not only did he not help her, but he also kept misunderstanding her. Even if he eventually understood, every time he hit a snag, self-blame would inevitably follow.
And Old Master Wan’s mood will only improve once Wan Yuqiong wakes up and her condition gets better.
As an outsider, while other aspects can be helped with, this matter truly cannot be assisted.
Imagine, the child who has been forcibly separated from Wan Yuqiong all this time, his feelings for Wan Yuqiong are predictable. Even if Qian Yan succeeded in persuading the Qian family, whether the child is willing to see his mother remains uncertain.
In this respect, the Qian family is truly despicable. They could even do such a heartless thing, despite relying on Wan Yuqiong to grow. Otherwise, how much more ruthless could they be?
At this moment, Qian Yan had already arrived at the Qian family’s house. Old Master Qian and Qian Jianming’s brother, Qian Jianfeng, had gone to the police station to handle the aftermath, leaving only Old Lady Qian and Second Aunt Qian at home.
When Qian Yan greeted them, Old Lady Qian merely nodded indifferently, while Second Aunt Qian seemed quite enthusiastic, though her enthusiasm clearly felt insincere.
"Grandma..." Qian Yan didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly stated her request, "My mom is seriously injured and misses my brother very much. I would like my brother to visit her, would that be okay?"
"What do you think?" Old Lady Qian cast a glance at her, "You’re not unaware of what kind of relationship your mom has with this family. Now, she’s divorced your dad, and..." She closed her eyes, continuing, "And your dad is gone. Your mom’s relationship with this family is completely severed. Is there any need for Dakun to meet with her again?"
"Dad is gone, and I am also very, very sad, but I believe Dad would also want Mom to live happily. Even if Mom and Dad are divorced, even if Dad is gone, Dakun is still Mom’s biological son.
Grandma, I know you’ve never liked my mom, nor me. But after all, we are part of the Qian family, and I too have Qian family blood in me.
I beg you to consider our family ties and allow Dakun to see his mom. Although my mom’s injury isn’t fatal, she is gravely wounded, and her emotional state is crucial for her recovery.
The reason I came is that even in a coma, my mom keeps thinking about my brother. Grandma, you are a mother too, and I believe you should understand my mom’s feelings."
Old Lady Qian unexpectedly glanced at her: "Didn’t you used to hate Dakun? You thought he stole your mom’s love for you and that he was a nuisance. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought Dakun to live with me.
What your mom is going through now is all because of you, so you have no right to blame anyone, nor do you have the right to ask anything of anyone, understand?"
"Grandma, I was wrong in the past. Now that I know better, I want to make amends. Please, give me a chance, please..." Qian Yan then kowtowed three times with a "thud, thud, thud," "Grandma, you know this is forbidden for me. I never kneel before anyone. Even during ancestral rites, no matter how you scolded me, I would never do this. Now, you see my determination, don’t you? Please, grant my wish!"
Old Lady Qian huffed coldly, "Let me ask you, have you ever truly respected me as your grandma from childhood until now? Given your attitude all these years, why should I grant your wish?"
"Grandma, what must I do for you to agree?" Qian Yan knelt and moved forward two steps, "As long as you say it, as long as I can do it, I won’t falter! Grandma, my mom has respected you all these years, please pity her, can’t you?" (To be continued.
