Chapter 1718: Chapter 1128: Clarifying the Truth

Back in my hometown for May Day, just one update, double updates starting on the fourth.

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

"Don’t worry, you’re doing me a favor, I won’t sell you out..." Chuxia smiled and assured Zhao Bingbing, who looked worried, "Your grandmother absolutely won’t see through that I know the conflict between you and your cousin."

"Actually..." Zhao Bingbing scratched his head and grinned awkwardly, "Actually, I’m kind of deceiving myself, my grandmother probably guessed the real reason I approached you, but she’s just pretending to be clueless."

"Sometimes pretending not to know is a really good way, elderly people highly value family unity, I’m sure she’s also conflicted inside, so pretending with each other might not be a bad solution."

"True." Zhao Bingbing nodded, "My mom says I act all carefree, but when it comes to doing things I’m often hesitant, which sounds nice as ’kindness,’ but less flattering as ’stupid.’"

"You can’t say that, it’s because you have concerns that you hesitate. If you let me choose, I’d rather be friends with someone like you than with those decisive people without any concern."

"Are we friends now?"

"Of course." Chuxia smiled and nodded, "We’ve jumped into the same trench, if not friends then what?"

"Right." Zhao Bingbing smiled awkwardly, "I really am a bit of an idiot."

After thinking it over, Chuxia looked at her seriously: "I can discuss with the elders, but whether they’ll agree is unknown; if I can’t make it, don’t get mad at me."

"I won’t, don’t worry, I’m not that petty..." Zhao Bingbing waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I just said, this task is hard for you, but if it succeeds, everyone will see you in a better light.

My mom says that whatever a woman wants is more reliable if she fights for it herself, waiting to rely on a man, sooner or later she’ll regret it, so I think my suggestion isn’t too off, right?"

"Right." Chuxia agreed with a nod, "Regardless of whether men are reliable, women should have their own careers and social circles, not pin all hope on men. Plus, nobody likes parasites, right?"

"Yes, I totally agree!" Zhao Bingbing nodded vigorously, "My family is a very clear example, my mom is very independent and strong, my dad and my mom’s relationship is great.

My Eldest Uncle’s Wife relies on my Eldest Uncle for everything, always playing the frail damsel, and secretly mocks my mom for lacking blessings, but only she knows if she’s truly miserable.

Inspired by her, Zhao Weiwei appears to be like my Eldest Uncle’s Wife on the surface, but deep down she’s very stubborn and self-willed, never hesitates to fight for her interests."

Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh: "I’ve realized you really harbor a grudge against your cousin; you always end up talking about her."

"I’m sorry..." Zhao Bingbing’s face was flushed red, "I’m really not doing it on purpose, it just naturally comes back to her. Truth is, there are too many examples from her, haha..."

The two chatted for a while, and then Nannan and Beibei came back, the two little ones swaying as they ran in and hugged Chuxia’s arm, calling her mom. Zhao Bingbing felt her heart melting!

In this world, there are kids so cute, good-looking, and thoughtful! Ah ah ah, she needs to find her better half quickly, and have one or two or even more to play with!

She got so lost in thought that when Nannan and Beibei called "Auntie," she didn’t react at all, so Chuxia nudged her with amusement: "The Nanbei Brothers are calling you, if you don’t respond, they’ll cry."

"Oh, oh, oh..." Zhao Bingbing responded several times, mesmerized by the little ones’ adorable expressions, just looked at Chuxia enquiringly, "Can I hold them?"

"You can ask them yourself." Chuxia smiled, "They understand, I always let them make decisions on these things themselves."

"Nannan, Beibei, can I hold you?" Zhao Bingbing crouched down to their level and asked.

"Sure..." Beibei nodded readily, "But don’t hold us for too long, Mom said we’re big kids now and should walk on our own."

"Alright, alright, alright." Zhao Bingbing responded repeatedly, picking up the little one. Unable to contain herself, she gave the little one two kisses on her tender cheeks. The little one hugged her neck and returned the favor with two kisses on her cheeks as well. Just as Zhao Bingbing was about to react, the little one twisted its body to get down, saying, "Alright, alright, you’ve hugged me, now hug my brother."

Zhao Bingbing: "..." She was so moved just now, thinking the little one kissed her because it liked her, but it turns out it was just trying to complete the task...

Having hugged the Nanbei Brothers, and enjoyed their company, Zhao Bingbing felt noticeably better. With a face full of envy, she said to Chuxia, "Just talking about these sons of yours, there’s absolutely no one who can threaten your status."

"I don’t want my status to be dependent on my sons fighting for it..." Chuxia laughed and stood up, "Let’s go out and take a look. My eldest sister came to the school to find me, she must have things to attend to. When she returns, she’ll be busy taking care of Maomao and Shuanshuan. Now that Nannan and Beibei are back, let them accompany their elder siblings."

Seeing Shuanshuan and Maomao, Zhao Bingbing ended up with a head full of black lines. She had thought Maomao and Shuanshuan were similar in age to Nannan and Beibei, but turns out, those two little ones are clearly much older than Nannan and Beibei, yet still need Nannan and Beibei to play with them...

Looking again at Nannan and Beibei, Zhao Bingbing’s gaze was extremely fervent—how great would it be if she could have such a pair of smart and extraordinarily beautiful kids?!

Unfortunately, she doesn’t even have a man yet... Thinking about it, her fervent gaze unconsciously dimmed. Lang Yi was her first love. Even though she knew he wasn’t worthy, and she understood there would be no chance of being with him, her heart still felt a faint pain when she thought of him.

This was one of the reasons why she wanted to take on missions and work together with Zhao Weiwei. She wanted to see if, through effort and becoming as outstanding as Zhao Weiwei, others would perceive her differently.

Previously, her closest friend asked her that if one day she proved her worth and Lang Yi came back, what would she do? Would she accept him again?

Her answer was definite; she would never accept him again!

The friend shook her head, expressing doubt, saying that if she had truly moved on and decided not to accept him, she wouldn’t be so concerned about whether she’s better than Zhao Weiwei.

She was very conflicted over this question and couldn’t figure it out. So, she chose not to think about it any longer, letting everything go with the flow, or perhaps one day, the answer would reveal itself?

Moreover, she believed that even if she softened at that time, the elders would be there to help her stay vigilant, so there’s nothing to fear!

With the four children playing together, the entire hall immediately brightened up. Lin Chuyue sat next to Chuxia with a smile, "No wonder everyone wants Nannan and Beibei to come and play. These two children are incredibly popular. Wherever they go, the place livens up. Look at Maomao and Shuanshuan; they’re so much older, yet still have to listen to them. I say..." She glanced up and down at Chuxia, "What did you eat while pregnant with them to give birth to such smart and sensible kids?"

"It’s because I’m smart; it has nothing to do with food," Chuxia rolled her eyes at her, "Sister Yueyue, do you still think I’m dumb and ignorant? That’s why you can’t comprehend how Nannan and Beibei are so sensible?"

"Not exactly..." Lin Chuyue laughed awkwardly, "Just remembering how disobedient you were as a child, and now looking at how sensible they are, I can’t comprehend it. Or perhaps, your husband was particularly smart and sensible as a child, and they inherited that from him?"

Still not believing her!

Chuxia shook her head helplessly and shifted the topic, "Sis, you came to find me this afternoon for some reason, right?"

"Yes." Lin Chuyue nodded, "Everything’s resolved. I’m thinking of going back, but since I ran into my mother, I’ll stay another day. I don’t want to ride in the same car with her."

"It’s rare to come out; stay a few more days before heading back. Your husband won’t do anything to let you down at home; you can rest assured." Chuxia teased with a smile.

Lin Chuyue sighed, "I also want to stay a few more days. To be honest, life here feels like Heaven to me, but I can’t just neglect things at home.

Your brother-in-law’s work is so busy, and the eldest brother is living there too. Two men living there don’t know how to clean properly. If I stayed a few more days, I’m afraid I’d come home to find nowhere to step.

If the children’s grandparents see that, they’ll get upset. With my family’s ongoing troubles, better I remain conscious and fix things before others point them out. Otherwise, it’d truly be troublesome."

"Alright, I respect Sister Yueyue’s decision. Anyway, it’s not far, and whenever Sister Yueyue’s free, she can come over directly. By the way, did Sister Xixia mention how her matter was resolved?

Didn’t she and Big Brother agree to ten days’ time? It’s been exactly eleven days today, so the results should be out, right? Did Sister Yueyue ask her?"

"Ah..." Lin Chuyue sighed, "She called me this afternoon, saying the divorce between your brother and Liu Meiqing is basically settled, but she said she initially hoped for this outcome, yet now that things turned out as she anticipated, she’s deeply saddened. I persuaded her for a long time before her mood finally calmed down..." (To be continued.
