Chapter 1362 - 899: 4
"This is also my final time reviewing this matter. If you still don’t believe it, then just don’t for now. Time is the best judge. As time goes by, you’ll naturally find out if what I said is true."
Sister-in-law Yin, the person involved, blushed as red as a red cloth.
These days, she has been staying at the Lin Family. She was originally there to accompany Chuxia, but the sudden appearance of the Division Commander Tongzi disrupted the original plan, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable staying at the Lin Family.
Everyone feared she might overthink, so every day they’d find some trivial things for her to help with. But she wasn’t the type to overstretch her welcome by freeloading every day. How could she possibly feel at ease?
She wasn’t some naive young lady unfamiliar with the hardships of the world. She was well aware of the living standards of ordinary families. No matter how good the Zhou family’s conditions were, she wasn’t entitled to share in their benefits.
Moreover, Chuxia is the god-granddaughter of Old Master Wan. She knew very well how much Old Master Wan valued this god-granddaughter. She certainly didn’t want Chuxia to be unable to hold her head up high at the Zhou family because of her.
Of course, this worry was essentially non-existent, judging from how Chuxia’s relatives and Zhou Mikang treated her. However, even knowing this, she still couldn’t accept it comfortably.
Originally, she had thought things through clearly, that no matter what, she had to persevere.
But when the time really came, when faced with it, she realized that things were far from as simple as imagined. Your thoughts are not something you can control. While idling, she would ponder whether she should really leave.
During this period, she even used her downtime to look for a job, but eventually for various reasons, she wasn’t accepted.
This made her feel even more suffocated. After all, she used to be a teacher, and now she was reduced to the point where even finding a regular job was difficult.
If this continued, she might have no choice but to work as a nanny for an ordinary family.
Fortunately, just as she was about to hit a dead end, she finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Chuxia had been observing everyone’s expressions and was finally able to put her mind at ease.
This matter had elements of Old Master Qi’s sense of justice but crucially, it was her who came up with the idea. After all, she was the younger one, and some words were not appropriate for her to say. Having Old Master Qi say it was more than suitable.
No one was more appropriate than Old Master Qi in terms of age and seniority.
Of course, she had also been observing Wan Yuqiong’s expression. Now it seemed, the other party had indeed come around and genuinely hoped that Sister-in-law Yin could marry Old Master Wan.
To be honest, during this period, while visiting Wan Yuqiong, she also sensed that her character had become much more magnanimous. But considering her previous poor traits, it was hard for her to fully believe it.
Now it seemed she had indeed judged the other person unfairly. Although the other had never spoken, the look she gave Sister-in-law Yin was full of closeness, clearly already considering her as family.
As she was thinking this, she saw Wan Yuqiong proactively bringing a cup of tea to Sister-in-law Yin, respectfully offering it to her. Sister-in-law Yin hesitated for a moment before accepting the tea and downing it under the teasing reminders of everyone present.
"Aunt, if I haven’t behaved well in the past, please forgive me. I actually mentioned this matter to you once before, but after that, I didn’t bring it up again. It wasn’t because I regretted it or forgot about it, but because the chaotic matters of the Qian Family disturbed my mind.
In retrospect, I was indeed too selfish. Once my own matters came up, I always overlooked my father’s matters. I’m sorry, it’s my fault that you were put in a difficult position."
"No, no..." Sister-in-law Yin quickly gestured with her hands, looking flustered. Honestly, Wan Yuqiong’s change was too great. Even though the other side had mentioned this matter before and had advised her, even persuaded Old Master Wan, and promised to help organize the wedding, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.
She even thought perhaps Wan Yuqiong had been provoked by Yao Xinqing’s matter and made such a decision, and once she calmed down, she would surely not support her being with Old Master Wan.
Now it seemed she had really wronged the other party. The only reason this matter wasn’t brought up constantly was because of the other party’s mood. This realization made her feel extremely guilty.
To be honest, since that mention, whenever she went to deliver food, the other party never mentioned it again. The more she thought, the more she felt that the other party might have regretted it. Alas, who would’ve thought, she had been overly cautious.
And the other party was right, with such a big matter going on, how could she have the mind to think about this and that? In fact, it’s impressive that she managed to pull through and recover so well in such a short period.
"But Aunt Yin, there’s something I need to clarify, regardless of whether you are happy or not it won’t change, which is that I can never call you Mom. Sorry, I really can’t bring myself to say it..." Wan Yuqiong smiled awkwardly, "We’re not that different in age, and I have a mature look. If I really called you that, even if I didn’t feel awkward, you would."
Sister-in-law Yin’s face flushed even more, and she didn’t know how to respond to such a question.
"Alright then..." Old Master Wan quickly came forward to mediate, "Yuqiong, you just got out of the hospital, some things can be put off for later. Today is a day of family reunion for us, so let’s celebrate our reunion first, and discuss anything else later."
"Yes, yes, today we indeed should celebrate..." Old Master Zhao joined in, "Originally, we planned to properly celebrate the day Xiaomi was discharged, but Xia He and Xiaomi said to wait until Yuqiong was discharged for a group celebration. So today combines several happy events into one. From now on, I hope we all have continuous happy events. How about a toast?"
Old Lady Zhao glared at him helplessly, "Are you craving alcohol? The meal isn’t even ready, and you’re suggesting a drink?"
"Aren’t you overthinking it?" Old Master Zhao shrugged, "I was talking about tea, not alcohol. You look at you, we’ve been married for so many years, yet you still don’t understand me?"
"How many times have I said it, to make sure my little grandson sees me in the best health when he’s born, I’m avoiding everything I should and should not avoid. I used to smoke a lot, do you see me smoking now?
Which do you think is greater, my addiction to smoking or drinking? Thinking this way, don’t you feel quite embarrassed for not understanding your own husband’s habits? What is your brain constantly busy thinking about all day?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it and cast monthly tickets.
