Chapter 828: Chapter 559: Persuasion (2)
To put it simply, she’s been too pampered, and now she’s just pretending in front of Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie. Don’t pay attention to her; she’ll figure it out in a few days."
"Bastard, are you really my good friend?" Luo Xiaoqiong glared at Chuxia bitterly, "Saying that about me, hateful!"
"It’s precisely because I’m your good friend that I say this. If I weren’t, I wouldn’t get involved at all." Chuxia glanced at the time and said, "Dad, Mom, it’s getting late. Let’s head back. We can meet again the day after tomorrow. It doesn’t have to be now, right?"
"Alright." Zhao Yulan stood up and said, "You all have a good chat and rest early. There’s still a lot to do tomorrow for the New Year."
"We bought some New Year’s goods on the way..." Zhou Mikang looked at the younger ones of the Luo family, "You guys come out and help bring them in."
Luo Gangshun quickly refused, "No need, no need. We can just buy a little less tomorrow."
"Uncle Luo, we’ve already bought them, and if you don’t take them, it’ll just go to waste. We brought them over tonight thinking you might have nowhere to buy them tomorrow. It’s just some essential New Year’s items. Let Hongqi and Xiaoqiong bring them in."
They really did go out to get them, watching as Zhou Mikang took out package after package from the trunk, piling up a huge mound. Luo Gangshun and Fat Auntie were even more at a loss. How is this just a few essentials? Even when they prepared for the New Year at home, they didn’t prepare nearly this well, right?
"Just take them; it’s the kids’ kindness." At this moment, it was Lin Baohe’s turn to speak. His daughter and son-in-law were so thoughtful that it warmed his heart.
As the group left, looking at the small mountain pile in the middle of the room, Zhang Erniu was stunned. It was the first time she had seen such a preparation for the New Year, which made her even more nervous...
Helplessly, Luo Xiaoqiong had to pull her into the adjacent room. Since they were staying in City A for the New Year, when Luo Hongqi booked the rooms, he directly booked the adjacent one as well, so the whole family could stay here overnight.
"Erniu, what exactly are you nervous about?"
"I..." After hesitating a bit, Zhang Erniu said, "I feel like I’m not good enough for your brother, Xiaoqiong. I’m telling the truth; your family is so much better off than mine. I’m afraid my parents won’t be happy.
Just this afternoon, I got a letter from my parents. They said that after the sixth day of the New Year, they want to come and see me with my grandma. I’m really scared that they’ll run into your uncle and aunt then.
When I was leaving, my grandma told me to train hard, wait to arrange a job, and only think about finding a partner when I’m older. If she knew I already found someone, she’d definitely be mad at me.
Xiaoqiong, could you discuss with uncle and auntie? If my parents come and happen to meet, please don’t say anything about me and your brother. Let me tell them once I have a stable job."
"Didn’t you say your parents are particularly good to you, and your grandma dotes on you too? If they see that my brother is dependable, they shouldn’t oppose it, right?" After hesitating a bit, Luo Xiaoqiong continued, "Erniu, our relationship is different from anyone else’s. You’re my sister-in-law and my comrade, so I definitely won’t just consider my family’s side.
To be honest, Chuxia and I are worried about something. That is, if Commander Liu doesn’t agree to marry Zhong Hongying, will she start clinging to my brother again?
Right now, she hasn’t let go of the idea of Commander Liu marrying her and doesn’t know that my brother has been promoted to a squad leader, so she’s probably not interested in him.
But if Commander Liu adamantly refuses to be with her and she knows my brother’s current situation, she’ll definitely turn around and seek him out again.
Back when we were in our hometown, my brother was completely enamored with her. Later on, it was she who first changed her heart. But after all, there were years of feelings there, and I’m afraid that if the time comes, my brother will be affected by her.
Of course, I will definitely advise my brother and will firmly not allow Zhong Hongying to become my sister-in-law. However, if you and my brother can establish your relationship earlier, it will give him confidence, and the trouble will surely be less, don’t you think?"
Zhang Erniu became so flustered that her face turned pale, "You’re saying Zhong Hongying is back? Hasn’t she seen your brother yet?"
"Probably not yet. She’s focusing on wanting Commander Liu to marry her and likely wouldn’t seek out my brother proactively. In such a large venue, the chance of running into him is very small.
Erniu, we ran into Commander Liu when we went out for a walk tonight. Regimental Commander Zhou gave him the night to consider whether he wants to be with Zhong Hongying. We’ll have the answer by tomorrow morning, so you understand why I’m so anxious, right?"
"She’s taller than me, prettier than me. If she seeks your brother, he’ll definitely choose her." Zhang Erniu sighed heavily, "Xiaoqiong, I get along with you, and I like your brother, but if he still likes Zhong Hongying, I won’t cling to him. My grandma always said that if a man’s heart isn’t with you, clinging is useless. I don’t want to be that annoying woman; my grandma would disapprove."
"That’s not entirely right, Chuxia always said that when two people are together for a long time, they’ll definitely have feelings for each other. Even if my brother had deep feelings for Zhong Hongying, now that he’s been in a relationship with you, the feelings are definitely deeper with you than with Zhong Hongying. So now, as long as you give my brother a little more confidence, he definitely won’t fall for Zhong Hongying’s tricks.
Erniu, just do me this favor, and don’t give up on my brother so easily. Moreover, it’s just our speculation so far. Who knows, maybe when the time comes, my brother won’t even look at Zhong Hongying and will only have you in his heart. But if that’s the case and you still don’t settle things with him, won’t it hurt his heart even more?" (To be continued.
