Chapter 1709: Chapter 1122: Unraveling the Cocoon

The second update.

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

"Going back to the Capital City first?" After a slight hesitation, Lin Chuyue agreed, "Okay, leaving tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Lin Chuyue agreed so readily that Loo Xixia looked at her in surprise, "Don’t you want to know why I’m making such arrangements? Aren’t you worried that I’m trying to run you off so you won’t see something?"

"Sis..." Lin Chuyue looked at her with a line of black on her face, "We’ve known each other for a long time now, how could I not know your personality? Are you implying that you’re questioning my intelligence?"

"No, no..." Loo Xixia waved her hand repeatedly, "I just thought, given your relationship with Xiyong, you would want to stay and be personally involved, hehe..."

Lin Chuyue looked helplessly at her elder sister-in-law, "Sis, can you just tell me if you want me to be involved or not want me to be involved?"

"Better not get involved..." Loo Xixia waved her hand, "If you leave the Capital City, it’ll be easier for Yu Li to slip up. She’s timid, and if you stay around, it’ll affect her performance."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you, sis. Um..." Lin Chuyue hesitated slightly, then asked, "Any movements from Liu Meiqing’s side?"

"I don’t know..." Loo Xixia shook her head, "I haven’t asked yet, it’s only been three days out of ten, what’s the rush? Plus, it’s not just my opportunity; it’s Liu Meiqing’s chance too.

If she’s fully committed to being with Lin Chudong, then I absolutely won’t entertain these thoughts anymore, and Lin Chudong will absolutely treat her wholeheartedly.

If she’s the type of woman who can’t make up her mind, then she has only herself to blame for everything, she can’t resent anyone else, even if one day she’s begging on the street, I wouldn’t feel a bit sorry for her.

It’s coincidental, handling both matters at once, by the time you come back, everything should be almost resolved. You can just enjoy yourself in the Capital City and wait for me to bring you some good news."

"Alright, thanks for your effort, big sis."

"Cut it out, what’s with the insincere talk?" Loo Xixia gave her a look, then glared at her brother with dissatisfaction, "Although you were wrongly accused in this matter, you should also take some responsibility.

Your relationship with Yueyue is good, let others know about it, don’t be a closed book all the time, giving whoever harbors bad intentions a chance, and thankfully Yueyue is generous, otherwise, wouldn’t she have scratched your face up?"

"Sis, that’s unreasonable. Yueyue and I have a good relationship, almost everyone at our workplace knows that. Am I supposed to start every workday by announcing that my wife is the best wife in the world?"

"Hmm, I think that’s workable..." Loo Xixia nodded with a smile, "That way, anyone who harbors bad intentions will have to think twice about their chances of success versus their chances of being criticized, and someone like Yu Li, with her personality, would definitely have the intention but not the guts."

"Sis, can you not treat me like everyone’s favorite?" Loo Xiyong looked helpless, "Getting into this kind of situation now is purely the result of someone secretly causing trouble. In normal circumstances, who would fawn over a man with a wife and kids?"

"How many more times do you want this to happen? Once is enough to deal with, to prevent future troubles, you need to think of a solution, or else, what if someone else schemes against you?"

"Sis, I’m neither rich nor influential nor particularly good-looking, why would someone plot against me every day?"

Loo Xixia spread her hands, "I wonder too, but the result is someone did scheme against you and even claim to be pregnant. Whether it’s real or fake, since it was said in front of so many people, I reckon it’s pretty close to being true."

"Sis..." Loo Xiyong’s face went as black as the bottom of a pot. Is there really a sister like this? When everyone’s finally calmed down, why does she spin things back around again?

"Look at you being petty; do you think not talking about it means it doesn’t exist? If there’s nothing guilty in your heart, don’t be afraid to bring this matter up, got it?" Loo Xixia gave him a look, "I don’t know how Yueyue saw anything in you, you handle situations sticky and sloppy, not manly at all!"

"Sis, trust isn’t built by continuously embarrassing me. If you truly want Yueyue to be happy, can you stop stirring this matter up?" Loo Xiyong respectfully gestured to her, "I’m begging you, sis."

"I’m done entertaining you, I’m getting busy." Loo Xixia waved to everyone in the room, lifted her foot, and walked out. At the door, she turned back to smile at Lin Chuyue, "Leave early in the morning tomorrow, don’t mess up my plan."

"Okay." Lin Chuyue readily agreed, "Don’t worry, sis, I won’t change my mind."

Although I trusted Loo Xiyong and also Loo Xixia, on the way from leaving, there wasn’t a trace of a smile on Lin Chuyue’s face. No matter how Chuxia and Chuchun tried to joke with her, she just forced a smile to cope.

"Sigh..." Chuxia looked at her helplessly, "Sister, if you can’t feel at ease and can’t let it go, then don’t agree with Sister Xixia. Or, you can pretend to leave and sneak back at night..." Eyeing her a few times, she continued, "If Sister Yueyue regrets her previous decision, we can send Sister Yueyue back now and go straight to stay at Chuchun’s place."

"No..." Lin Chuyue shook her head, "It’s not that I don’t believe them, the siblings. I’m just thinking..." She turned her head to look outside the window for a long while before continuing, "If it really is my mother doing this to harm me, I truly won’t have a family anymore, and with that family, the ties would be completely severed.

No matter what, they were once my closest people, my real mother, my real father. Even if they didn’t do well before, even if I am angry with them, I still can’t help but think of them in my heart.

Otherwise, after I got married, I simply wouldn’t return to Dalin Village. Although each time I went back, I’d just take a glance and leave hastily or not go at all, just staying at someone else’s house, the fundamental reason I went back was indeed because of them.

Watching them grow older year by year, seeing my father become disheartened because he couldn’t become the team leader, my heart aches uncontrollably. If I had the ability to help him, I would have done it long ago.

But now, if this matter really is related to my mother..." She sneered twice, eyes faintly glistening with tears, "In this lifetime, I will not enter that door again! I won’t care about their life or death anymore!"

Holding her hand in comfort, Chuxia no longer tried to persuade Lin Chuyue. If such a thing were really done by one’s own mother, what’s there to persuade? A tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, yet she seems eager to harm her own daughter, can she still be called human?

Such a family, no matter how reluctant, should be severed, otherwise, who knows what crazy and irreparable things they might do someday!

Seeing the group return so quickly, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe also wore a look of surprise.

"Uncle Baohe, Aunt Yulan, sorry to trouble you these past few days..." Lin Chuyue apologized with a smile to the couple, looking around, "Where are the kids?"

"They’re all asleep." Zhao Yulan shook her head with a smile, "It’s the first time Nannan and Beibei have had so many kids to play with since they grew up, they didn’t even want to sleep alone, forcibly dragging Maomao and Shuanshuan into the bedroom.

As a result, with four kids keeping each other company, they all fell asleep in no time. No wonder people say it’s easier to take care of more kids, it’s true. The older ones help take care of the younger ones, isn’t that reassuring?"

"Aunt Yulan..." Lin Chuyue looked at Zhao Yulan with gratitude, "You said that to put my mind at ease, I understand. I know my daughter’s temperament. How could she take care of younger ones? I guess it’s Nannan and Beibei who are taking care of her, right?"

"Now you’re exaggerating. Nannan does take care of her, but as for Beibei..." Zhao Yulan couldn’t help but laugh while speaking, "He himself needs Nannan to take care of him, how could he take care of others?"

"Aunt Yulan, I want to see them first..." Lin Chuyue looked towards Chuxia as she spoke, "Summer, I guess you miss Nannan and Beibei a lot, shall we go see them together?"

Chuxia nodded, looking at her own mother: "Mom, we’ll go see the kids first, then come back to chat with you."

...

"She actually did such a thing?" Zhao Yulan looked at Lin Chuyue in shock, "Yueyue, are you sure you haven’t misunderstood your mother?"

"I can’t be a hundred percent sure right now, because the matter is still under investigation, but it’s highly likely. My mother’s character, heh..." Lin Chuyue shook her head, "In her eyes, there’s probably only herself. As long as she feels her face is lost, she’ll figure out a way to make it back. This time when I returned home, I ignored them. She sent a message to me, I didn’t go over, so she probably held a grudge and did such a thing. It’s not surprising."

"Sigh..." Zhao Yulan sighed, not knowing what to say. Having lived under the same roof with Zheng Sanqiao for so many years, how could she not know the other’s temperament?

If it weren’t so close and clear, she would truly doubt that there exists a mother who doesn’t care for her child. Although sometimes she shows a lot of concern for the child, it’s all based on one premise—for her own future happiness!

Days with worries pass particularly slowly, after three days, Lin Chuyue was about to go crazy.

On the fourth day, the phone call from Loo Xiyong finally brought some practical progress—Yu Li was indeed pregnant, but the child’s father is Liu Lanhua’s brother Liu Langui, a good-for-nothing drifter!

This matter was discovered because Liu Langui said it himself, not because he intends to marry Yu Li, but because he was showing off to his buddies that he had the ability to casually sleep with a girl from the city!

Such a thing spreads incredibly fast, before Loo Xixia even got the news, Loo Xiyong’s ears were already buzzing with it! (To be continued.
