Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1306 - 858: Loosening (Part 2)

Whenever it’s a festival, her mother would have her bring some delicious things to the elderly couple and remind her to visit them more often when free.

After frequent visits, she truly grew fond of this old brother and sister duo, because they genuinely cared for her, treating her as if she were their own child.

This feeling, she felt only from her mother, and having it doubled made her treasure it dearly.

Today, when she saw Lin Chuxia appear, she was inexplicably fearful.

Grandpa has already been taken away by Lin Chuxia, if Grandma Qi and Grandpa Qi were also taken, she’d be devastated!

Though she knew she couldn’t entirely blame Lin Chuxia, to preserve everything belonging to her, she could only lay all responsibility on the other party.

She even disclosed secrets never shown to outsiders.

"Qian Yan, if I told you your mom never mentioned your brother’s issues to Grandpa Wan, how would you react?" After hesitating for a while, Chuxia still decided to reveal the truth, for the sake of Old Master Wan, she must restore the truth.

"Impossible!" Without thinking, Qian Yan shook her head in denial, "My mom never lies to me, she said she told grandpa, then she definitely did, you can’t use this method to sow discord between my mom and me."

"If my intention was to disrupt the relationship between you and your mom, I would’ve revealed the truth earlier. It’s exactly because I’m worried about affecting your relationship that I hesitated.

However, after weighing everything, I feel I should tell you the truth, otherwise, the attitude you and your mom have towards Grandpa Wan might not change for a long time.

I do this, primarily considering Grandpa Wan, but also for you and your mom..." pausing, Chuxia continued, "If one day you want to make amends and can’t, you’ll definitely regret it."

Old Madam Qi furrowed her brows as well. As she didn’t know much about Old Master Wan, she couldn’t judge whether Chuxia’s words were true, subconsciously, she turned her gaze to Qian Yan.

Qian Yan was also deeply conflicted inside.

She’s met Chuxia a few times, but never directly interacted. She should trust her own mom fully, yet inexplicably, she found Lin Chuxia’s words surprisingly credible!

Yet, why would mom lie to her? That’s something she couldn’t fathom.

"I suggest you go home and talk to your mom seriously..." Chuxia looked at her earnestly, "You must believe that I absolutely don’t do this out of selfish motives.

You say I lack background and seek to rely on Grandpa Wan, but think about it, do I need to do this now? Not to mention that my husband’s family doesn’t mind my background, even if they did, isn’t the Lin Family of the Capital good enough?

Although my father returned to the family after being lost for many years, you only need to inquire and you’ll know how the Lin Family of the Capital treats us, wanting them as a refuge is definitely more than sufficient.

I’m saying this because you insist on categorizing me into the utilitarian crowd. To let you have a sense of substitution, I’ll explain it as you said, and believe, this will make you see the essence of things more clearly, right?"

"Grandma Qi, if you had to choose between me and her, who would you pick?" Qian Yan didn’t answer Chuxia’s question, but rather focused on Old Madam Qi’s choice.

"Ah..." Old Madam Qi sighed helplessly, "You, child, are really stubborn. If you really need an answer, then I’ll tell you, if I must choose, grandma naturally chooses you."

"Really?" Qian Yan’s eyes lit up, "Grandma, you’re not just comforting me, are you?"

"Of course not, grandma watched you grow up, how could she bear to abandon you?" Old Madam Qi sighed again, "I like Chuxia because she’s your Grandpa Qi’s disciple, liking you is because of our affection, understand?"

"Understood..." Qian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled embarrassedly, "I won’t force you to make pointless choices now..." She then looked at Chuxia, "I’ll get to the bottom of this, if you’re deceiving me, I’ll definitely come after you, even if I can’t do much with our family’s power, I’ll do whatever I can to make you uncomfortable."

Chuxia nodded: "Alright, if I truly deceived you, you can do whatever you want, the condition is, you must clearly discern between truth and falsehood."

After Qian Yan left, Zhao Yulan, who had been silent, sighed and looked apologetically at Old Madam Qi: "Aunt, really sorry, putting you in a difficult position."

"Don’t say that, who could’ve thought of such a coincidence?" Old Madam Qi shook her head helplessly, "Every family has its difficult recitations, however, I’m here to plead for leniency for Little Yan and her mom, no matter how wrong they are, I hope you can understand them.

We’ve been neighbors with their family for many years, honestly, Little Yan’s dad is really bad to her mom, some things Little Yan’s mom did poorly were truly compelled.

If she didn’t comply, she’d only get beaten, a woman with a child, what could she do? If she truly left, wouldn’t life be even harder?"

"Aunt, rest assured, we won’t hold grudges over this. It’s heartily wished by us for Uncle Wan’s family to reunite. Honestly, the more acquainted Uncle Wan is with us, ultimately, there’s still a layer.

Sometimes the feeling might not be so deep, but come festival times, it’s clear even though the old man is smiling, if you look closely you’ll realize, that’s just the surface, inwardly, who knows how bitter it is, yet born of this, everyone can only pretend ignorance, that feeling..." shaking her head, Zhao Yulan didn’t continue further.
