Capítulo 948: Chapter 640: Best Friends’ Fate (Double-Length Chapter)

The two chapters are combined together.

“Wait a moment, even if you don’t want to talk, I need to say this…” Luo Xiaoqiong grabbed Chuxia, glanced around, and then peered inside the door before saying seriously, “It’s right to have a sense of crisis, but don’t you think your sense of crisis is a bit misplaced?”

“No, I think it’s quite appropriate.” Chuxia replied.

“Your idea is really dangerous. Regimental Commander Zhou is so good to you, yet you’re being paranoid. Chuxia, don’t think I’m scaring you. You know Regimental Commander Zhou’s temperament; if he finds out you’re suspecting him like this, can you have any good ending?”

“I’m not suspecting him, I just feel that women shouldn’t think only about relying on men. Having a career and a social circle of their own is also very necessary for women.”

“That’s true…” Luo Xiaoqiong scratched her head, feeling conflicted. “But why do I still feel there’s something wrong with your idea?”

It’s certainly no problem for women to be independent and have their own careers, but the implication in your words is that you don’t trust Regimental Commander Zhou and want to rely completely on yourself. I think that’s entirely unnecessary and wrong!”

Trying to explain this issue to someone living in Luo Xiaoqiong’s era was extremely difficult, so Chuxia simply pushed her towards the courtyard: “I’m cold, let’s go inside and warm up.”

Knowing that Chuxia didn’t want to continue discussing the topic, Luo Xiaoqiong reluctantly rolled her eyes and nudged her: “Should we tell Sister Qihui that Su Qin is coming to see her?”

After hesitating for a moment, Chuxia said: “Let’s tell her.”

“But I’m worried that Jiang Wenyuan will be unhappy with us interrupting Sister Qihui’s study…” Luo Xiaoqiong said as she stepped behind Chuxia, “How about… you go tell her, and I’ll wait outside?”

Chuxia looked at her in amusement: “Is there anything you’re afraid of?”

“It’s not fear, it’s because our statuses are different. Before marrying into this family, I am, after all, still an outsider. What if it makes Sister Qihui unhappy, how will I get along with her in the future? It’s different for you; you’re her cousin, right?”

“Creak!”

Before Chuxia could speak, the door to the western room opened suddenly. Zhao Qihui came out and smiled at them: “I saw you two had come back, what are you doing standing out here? Come in and warm up.”

“Sis, Sister Su Qin has returned and said she’s coming over to hang out with you later.” Chuxia said as she slipped towards the door of the eastern room, “You go ahead and review, we’ll go talk with grandma and grandpa for a bit in the eastern room.”

“With all those people in the room, how will you two get a chance to talk?” Zhao Qihui hurriedly pulled her back. “Reviewing isn’t limited to just one or two days. Since it’s rare for you to come back, how could I focus on studying?” As she spoke, she had already forcibly pulled her inside, so Luo Xiaoqiong had to follow in as well.

Jiang Wenyuan sat on a chair by the kang, his expression calm as he nodded slightly at them without saying a word.

This made Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong feel a bit uncomfortable because the expression on his face clearly indicated that they were interrupting Zhao Qihui’s study session. Although they also thought that passing the university entrance exam wasn’t just about one or two days, one look at Jiang Wenyuan’s expression made them feel immensely guilty.

“Sis, you go ahead and review, we’ll talk at lunchtime.” Chuxia spoke as she tried to back out again.

“Xia, do you take me as your sister or not?”

Zhao Qihui didn’t pull her back again, but her expression was extremely serious. Chuxia had to stop: “Sis, I’ve always taken you as my own sister, you should know that.”

“Then listen to me and stay in the room.”

“Okay.” Chuxia weakly agreed, sitting closely with Luo Xiaoqiong at the corner of the kang, sneaking a glance at Jiang Wenyuan’s expression, feeling utterly uneasy.

No need to ask, these two must have had a quarrel.

As for the reason for the quarrel, no need to ask either; it must have been that Jiang Wenyuan wanted Zhao Qihui to study, but Zhao Qihui wanted to chat with them, and then they couldn’t reach an agreement…

The feeling of four people sitting silently in the room was so oppressive that finally, Chuxia couldn’t hold it and stood up: “Big Brother Jiang, you’re mad at us, aren’t you?”

Unexpectedly, Chuxia said that suddenly, Jiang Wenyuan was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hand: “No, no, I’m angry with your sister. She couldn’t solve a very simple problem that I had already taught her before.”

Chuxia looked at Zhao Qihui: “Really?”

“Yes.” Zhao Qihui nodded, “He’s upset because I’m not focused, and I clearly told him that since it’s rare for my sister and sister-in-law to come back, I couldn’t focus only on my studies.”
