Capítulo 780: Chapter 523
“Tch!” Chuxia pouted and looked at Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou, “See? He’s afraid I’d catch on, rushing to spread the word and destroy the evidence.”
“The Captain’s not like that.” Zhao Qiliang couldn’t help but defend Zhou Mikang again.
“Oh, shut up!” Chuxia glared at him, “You’re not my brother, I don’t want to hear it from you.”
Zhao Qiliang, lined with black lines of exasperation, shook his head with a helpless smile but obediently shut his mouth, no longer speaking up for Zhou Mikang.
The three of them waited in the car for about five minutes before Zhou Hanliang jogged back: “In about ten minutes or so, the Captain will be here…” He glanced at Chuxia, “Today’s meeting is very important; the Captain couldn’t miss it.”
“Did I say anything?” Chuxia shot him another glare, “Can you stop always wrongfully accusing me? Anyone who doesn’t know would think I’m incredibly petty.”
“No, no…” Zhou Hanliang hurriedly explained, “I just thought you’d be worried, so I was explaining. I couldn’t even get in; if I hadn’t said you were waiting outside, they wouldn’t have told me what time the meeting would end.”
“Tch!” Chuxia rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Zhou Hanliang looked to Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou for help.
“What are you looking at?” Yun Doudou gave him a glare, “Chuxia isn’t so narrow-minded. Do you still not know why she’s upset?”
“I…” Zhou Hanliang smiled wryly, “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry…” He glared at Zhao Qiliang, “It’s all your fault, making me think she was really mad.”
“When did I tattle?” Chuxia looked at Zhao Qiliang puzzled; they’d been together the whole time, and he and Zhou Hanliang hadn’t had any alone time.
Zhao Qiliang, embarrassed, smiled and made a few gestures: “Like this, Instructor Zhou understood.”
Chuxia: “…” Right now, she really didn’t want to deal with Zhao Qiliang. Wasn’t he her cousin… Oh, wait, he really wasn’t… She suddenly realized she was getting more and more immersed in this era’s role.
Half an hour later, Zhou Mikang hurried over, followed by Huang Suai and a male officer. Zhou Hanliang and Zhao Qiliang both glanced at Chuxia.
Chuxia rolled her eyes speechlessly; how many times did she have to say it before the label of being jealous would disappear from their minds?
“Sorry, the meeting ran late.” Zhou Mikang apologized as soon as he got in the car, then turned to Zhou Hanliang, “Huang Suai and Lin Wenhang are hitching a ride over; they have business with Deputy Yun.”
Sitting next to Chuxia, Luo Xiaoqiong tried to stand up but was pulled back by Chuxia, “What are you doing?” “The Captain…” She pointed with her chin in Zhou Mikang’s direction, her expression conflicted. She was actually afraid of Huang Suai sitting next to Zhou Mikang, even though she knew nothing was between them. But as long as she thought about how Huang Suai almost became a daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she didn’t want the two of them sitting together.
Chuxia glared at her angrily, whispering a warning, “Are you afraid of them mocking me lightly?”
Luo Xiaoqiong stuck her tongue out and sat back, while Yun Doudou teased her, “You brought this on yourself. Look at me, sitting steadily all along.” Just as she finished speaking, Zhou Mikang had gotten in, reached over to pat Chuxia’s head, “Come to the back; let Doctor Huang sit in front.”
Huang Suai smiled apologetically at Chuxia, “Sorry.”
“It’s okay.” Chuxia got up and moved to the back, Zhou Mikang sat next to her, pointing to the seat beside him, “Doctor Lin, come sit.” He was referring to Lin Wenhang.
“Hello, Third Brother.” Chuxia hadn’t met Lin Wenhang but knew he was the child of Grandpa Lin’s second son, so when he came over, she waved her claw in greeting.
“Hello, Chuxia.” Lin Wenhang smiled politely, “How are Uncle and Auntie lately?”
“They’re good.”
“I actually could have not come, but I came just to meet you, thick-skinned to bum a ride.” Lin Wenhang couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t mind your third brother’s rudeness, it’s Big Brother who wouldn’t let us look for you, he’s afraid of losing favor.”
Chuxia laughed, “So, Third Brother, are you coming to steal favor while Big Brother is home?”
“Exactly, exactly, you’re so clever, little cousin.” Lin Wenhang said, patting Zhou Mikang, “Brother-in-law, hahaha…”
Chuxia was lined with black lines; when she saw this Third Brother coming over just now, she thought he seemed gentle and refined, should be very graceful, but with that string of laughs, he thoroughly revealed his nature. He really was a brother to Lin Wenbin.
Also, seeing Lin Wenhang and Huang Suai so familiar before, she was worried he might reject her, but it seemed she was overthinking it.
She also suddenly realized, unconsciously, she was indeed influenced by everyone’s concerns. Although there was nothing between Huang Suai and Zhou Mikang, because of that previous incident, uncontrollably, she would overthink it.
Zhou Mikang glanced at Lin Wenhang, who was beaming at him non-stop, furrowing his brows: “What, you feel you’ve struck gold calling me brother-in-law?”
“No, it’s just that I always hadn’t had the chance to meet Chuxia, and today, having met her, I found her just as I imagined, and I’m happy. Really, not just because I can call you brother-in-law, hahaha… Brother-in-law, don’t overthink it.”
Everyone: “…” Is this a way to prevent overthinking?
Huang Suai turned around and jokingly said to Lin Wenhang, “Doctor Lin, if your interns saw you like this, wouldn’t they be scared out of their wits?”
“Don’t worry, they won’t get the chance to see it, unless Director Huang tattles on me.” Lin Wenhang said while looking at Chuxia, “Director Huang and I were classmates, although I’m a good deal older than her.”
“Five years is a good deal?” Huang Suai shook her head, “Seeing you now, I’m really puzzled how you’ve managed to keep up the act all these years? Chuxia, do you know what kind of image your third brother has in everyone’s mind?”
“Everyone has two sides, when Third Brother sees me, he gets happy, and his true nature comes out.”
“My little sister knows me best.” Lin Wenhang smugly raised his eyebrows at Huang Suai, “This is blood kinship, got it?”
“Don’t get cocky, Chuxia hasn’t seen what you were like in the past…” Huang Suai looked at Chuxia, “When you have time, go to Capital City Hospital to see how he works, and you’ll know I wasn’t exaggerating.”
Chuxia nodded, “Okay, I’ll definitely go see when I get the chance.” Since knowing her, she hadn’t noticed the slightest hostility from Huang Suai, so she faced the situation calmly. Regardless of whether the other person had any prejudice against her, she wouldn’t let herself fall behind.
Along the way, Lin Wenhang kept chatting with Chuxia non-stop, while the others remained silent listeners. Eventually, Chuxia felt embarrassed and interrupted Lin Wenhang, “Third Brother, today we’re going to the Yun Family for Instructor Zhou and Doudou’s affairs, shouldn’t we discuss their matters first?”
“Alright, alright…” Lin Wenhang apologized to Zhou Hanliang, “I got too excited and forgot your important matters, sorry, sorry. When you get married, I’ll give you a big gift.”
“No problem.” Zhou Hanliang shook his head with a smile, “Actually, there’s not much to discuss, we’re just visiting to apologize, hoping the in-laws would agree to our marriage.
If possible, we hope to get married next year, so this year would be Doudou’s last New Year’s before marriage, and I still want her to spend it at home to leave a most beautiful memory.”
Huang Suai chimed in, “Although we’re here for business, we’ll do our best to help.”
“Thank you.” Zhou Hanliang smiled politely at her, “Thank you for your trouble, Director Huang.”
The car arrived at the Yun Family’s entrance, just parked, and Guoguo ran out, craning her neck to look around. When she saw Doudou get off the car, she happily rushed over, “Doudou!”
“Guoguo, have you been waiting for me all this time?” Yun Doudou hugged her sister, her voice choked with emotion. No matter when, Guoguo was always most enthusiastic towards her.
“I missed Doudou.” Yun Guoguo let go and looked at her sister pitifully, “Dad said Doudou is really coming home this time, I was so happy. I’ve been waiting for two hours.” She sniffed, “I thought Dad was lying to me again.”
“Did Dad lie to you before?”
“Yes.” Yun Guoguo nodded vigorously, “During the Little New Year, I wanted to find Doudou, Dad said Doudou would definitely come back, but you didn’t, was it Dad lying to me again, or were you not keeping your word?”
“It was…” Doudou hesitated and hugged her sister, “I’m sorry, I didn’t keep my word, please forgive me, Guoguo, okay?”
“Okay, now that you’re back I’m not angry, but you have to come back often from now on!” Yun Guoguo pulled Yun Doudou to her side, warily watching the others getting out of the car, “You can’t take Doudou away, she’s mine.”
Chuxia laughed and replied, “We won’t take her, we won’t, see, we’re bringing her back to you, it’s cold, how about we talk inside?”
Yun Guoguo’s gaze fell on Chuxia, she sized her up with no sense of malice, then grinned and nodded, “Let’s go home!”
In the hall, Lan Ailian sat beside Yun Fengshan, her face gloomy, she glanced briefly at the group entering, then lowered her head again.
Yun Fengshan warmly stood up, “You’re all here, have a seat, have a seat.”
Zhou Mikang first introduced Chuxia to them, “Deputy Yun, this is my wife, Lin Chuxia, she’s good friends with your Doudou.”
“I know, I know, welcome, welcome, please sit down, sit down.” Yun Fengshan said as he gave a look to his daughter, Yun Doudou then pulled Zhou Hanliang forward, “Dad, Mom, I’m back.”
“Uncle, Aunt, I’m here.”
“Good to see you back, good to see you back, let’s sit down and talk.” Yun Fengshan invited the two over and nudged his wife beside him, “The kids are back, at least say something.”
“Say what?” Lan Ailian glared at her husband, her eyes quickly turned red, “In her eyes, I’m not even her mother, what do I have to say? Should I let everyone see what a joke I’ve become?”
Zhou Hanliang quickly stated, “Auntie, it’s all my fault, it’s because of me that you and Doudou ended up like this, please give me a chance, let me and Doudou take care of you and Uncle, okay.”
“No!” Lan Ailian shook her head without thinking, “You made my daughter run away from home for so long, don’t think a single sentence will make me forgive you, that’s impossible!” (To be continued.
