Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1314 - 865: Transformation

Before dawn.

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

Just hearing Grandpa’s laughter, Chuxia knew how guilty he felt. She sighed helplessly, wondering why her Grandpa’s personality seemed to have reversed after his serious illness.

As soon as the group entered the door, Zhao Yushui and Lin Xiaohua excitedly came up to them, "Dad, Mom, Qiyan had a baby, a big fat boy!" Of course, it was Lin Xiaohua who delivered the good news, while Zhao Yushui stood to the side, rubbing his hands nonstop.

"We heard from Xia on the way, couldn’t believe Qiyan did so well, having a big fat boy right away, hahaha..." Old Master Zhao patted Zhao Yushui on the shoulder with a laugh, then looked at Lin Xiaohua, "Now that you two are parents, you better not cause any more trouble, or don’t blame me as a father for not recognizing you."

"Dad, don’t worry, I won’t be foolish again..." Lin Xiaohua quickly promised, "Yushui already warned me that if I cause more trouble, he’ll leave me."

"Hmm." Old Master Zhao gave his son an approving glance.

Receiving his father’s gaze, Zhao Yushui couldn’t help but straighten his posture. Being praised by his father, for the first time in many years, felt... really good!

Zhao Yulan came over and smiled at them, "Dad, Mom, let’s eat first. Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law must be starving; they arrived yesterday afternoon, couldn’t find a place, and spent the night at the bus station. They came over first thing in the morning. I asked them to have a little something to hold them over, but they insisted on waiting for you to eat together."

"Let’s eat, let’s eat..." Old Master Zhao washed his hands and came back, handing a joy egg to Old Master Wan first, "Old Wan, take some of this joy and your matters will go more smoothly."

"All right." Old Master Wan took the joy egg, tapped it on the table, and after peeling it, he handed it to Sister-in-law Yin, "You have more worries at home, you should eat it first."

Sister-in-law Yin’s face turned bright red. She didn’t expect Old Wan to make such a gesture in front of everyone; ever since she’s known him, it’s the first time he’s been so close...

"Look at you, getting so excited over nothing?" Old Master Wan chuckled as he stuffed the egg in her hand, "Frankly, you have more concerns than I do, so the first joy egg is yours. I’ll take another." As he spoke, he took another one and smiled at Old Master Zhao, "Brother Zhao, you’re not mad at me, are you?"

"Not at all, not at all!" Old Master Zhao waved his hands repeatedly, "I’m just looking forward to another happy event. I’m happy, I’m really happy, haha..."

Watching their interaction, Chuxia’s curiosity deepened.

She was completely sure that Grandpa knew about Old Wan and the woman with the Sun surname, otherwise, he wouldn’t say such things. And she was also sure that something was definitely going on between Old Wan and that Sun woman; otherwise, Old Wan wouldn’t make such promises in front of everyone.

In other words, Old Wan was making a promise to Sister-in-law Yin in front of everyone.

But what is the actual truth?

Oh, as someone from the younger generation, it doesn’t seem right to ask directly. But Sister-in-law Yin’s temperament probably wouldn’t lead her to ask proactively either. Can everyone really just keep worrying like this?

After breakfast, Chuxia went to school. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

She had a class first thing in the morning, so no matter how many questions she had, she had to wait until after school.

As soon as the bell rang, Lin Mengran leaned over to Chuxia’s ear and asked in a whisper, "You seemed so distracted the whole class, what’s up? If something’s bothering you, remember you have us sisters here."

"It’s not my issue..." Chuxia sighed, "It’s something with the older generations, and as a younger one, I can’t interfere, but I can’t help worrying for them."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"I can’t." Chuxia shook her head, "It’s not that I don’t trust you; it’s just that it’s their private matter, and I can’t talk about it without their consent."

"I get it, I get it..." Lin Mengran patted her shoulder comfortingly, "The older generation has so much life and social experience; if there’s a problem, they’ll definitely find a way to solve it. Don’t think too much about it. You know what’s most important for you right now."

"Got it." Chuxia looked helpless, "Given my current health situation, I shouldn’t dwell on things, but don’t forget, I am human, not a robot. When something happens, it’s not like I can just choose not to think about it!"

"Try to control it."

"Control what?" Yang Xiaoli poked her head over, "You two have been whispering since class ended, that’s a bit much, isn’t it?"

"Let me tell you plainly, after all this whispering, I haven’t managed to come up with anything substantial, alright? I’ll step aside, now you take over the whispering." Lin Mengran said as she got up and moved beside Yang Xiaoli, pulling Li Xinli to the bathroom.

"What’s going on?" Yang Xiaoli looked at Chuxia, full of confusion, "Judging by your expression, it seems like there’s a problem she can’t solve either?"

"It’s nothing." Chuxia shook her head helplessly, "She’s just being mysterious. I’m fine; it’s a private matter of the older generation that I’m worried about, but I can’t talk about it without their consent, you understand?"

Yang Xiaoli nodded knowingly, "I see, it’s not Uncle Lin and Auntie Zhao who are in trouble, right?"

"No, it’s not."

"Hmm, I didn’t think so either..." Yang Xiaoli leaned closer, "I’m relieved it’s not them. Other elders have their experience, so whatever happens, everything will turn out fine in the end. You don’t need to worry unnecessarily. Come on, let’s go out for some exercise; pregnant women shouldn’t sit all the time, or it’ll be difficult when giving birth."

Just as she exited the classroom, Chuxia saw Qian Yan walking toward her from a distance and involuntarily frowned. If she was headed this way, she was likely coming for her. But not knowing the situation, she really didn’t want to deal with her.

Unfortunately, by this time, Qian Yan had already spotted her and was rushing over, so Chuxia had to sigh inwardly and put on an impeccable smile.

She’s already quite notorious at school, and if she were to argue with an unfamiliar woman, the rumors would become even more bizarre. During such sensitive times, she should avoid what she can.

With this in mind, Chuxia simply approached and took the initiative to ask, "Looking for me?"

"Yes." Qian Yan glanced at Yang Xiaoli and Wu Jingbo standing next to her, "Could you two give us a moment?"

"No." Without even thinking, Yang Xiaoli refused Qian Yan’s request.

"You..." Qian Yan furrowed her brow and looked at Wu Jingbo, "What do you think?"

"The same." Wu Jingbo looked at her calmly, "You’ve always been unfriendly to Chuxia, so we can’t let you be alone with her now."

"Wu Jingbo, could you help out for the sake of my friendship with your sister?" Taking a deep breath, Qian Yan looked seriously at Wu Jingbo, "I promise not to harm Lin Chuxia in the slightest. I’m here to ask her for help.

As for...," she turned her gaze to Yang Xiaoli, "as for how I treated her before, it was due to some misunderstandings between us. Now that those misunderstandings are resolved, I certainly won’t be unfriendly to her.

If you really don’t believe me, let’s compromise and go to the playground. You can watch us from a distance where you can’t hear our conversation. Is that acceptable?"

"Xiaoli, Jingbo, it’s okay." Chuxia smiled at Yang Xiaoli and Wu Jingbo and then looked at Qian Yan, "Standing for too long makes me feel very tired, let’s sit in the stands and talk."

"Thank you." Qian Yan expressed her gratitude and followed Chuxia to the stands.

"Should we... follow them?" Yang Xiaoli hesitated as she looked at Wu Jingbo. She thought they should follow, but after Chuxia expressed trust in Qian Yan, doing so seemed to undermine Chuxia’s decision, leaving her unsure.

"Let’s take a stroll on the playground..." Wu Jingbo said as she began walking, "No one’s forbidden us from strolling on the playground, and we’re definitely not the only ones."

"Smart!" Yang Xiaoli snapped her fingers, "Jingbo, I’m increasingly convinced of your cleverness. You’re usually so quiet, but when it comes to the crunch, you never disappoint!"

"Your friends still don’t trust me..." Qian Yan glanced back with a bitter smile and looked at Chuxia, "It seems my past behavior was really bad."

"What do you want with me?" Chuxia got straight to the point.

"Did you tell my grandfather about my mother’s situation?"

"Yes, I did."

"Thank you."

"No need, you’re probably not here just to thank me, right?"

"No..." Qian Yan looked at Chuxia, "I..." After hesitating for a long time, she still didn’t say anything. Chuxia sighed, "If you’re not comfortable talking about it, don’t force yourself.

As I said before, we care for Grandpa Wan because of our connection, and we genuinely like him. If you and your mother want to reconcile with Grandpa Wan, we would only support that and be happy, we would never stand in the way. Rest assured about that."

"It’s not that..." Qian Yan shook her head, "If I were still hung up on this matter, I wouldn’t have come to you, nor would my attitude towards you be like this.

Lin Chuxia, no matter what, I want to thank you. If it weren’t for meeting you, my grandfather wouldn’t be as happy as he is now, and my mother wouldn’t be truly at ease."

"Hmm?" Hearing the latter part of her words, Chuxia’s eyes widened in surprise, "Are you saying your mother’s attitude towards Grandpa Wan was intentional?"

"You could say that." Biting her lip, Qian Ying gave a bitter smile, "If I hadn’t pushed my mother to the limit, she wouldn’t have told me the truth. If I didn’t know the truth, I wouldn’t have come around so quickly.

Lin Chuxia, you have to promise me to always take good care of my grandfather, and also don’t tell him about me coming to see you. Since my mom has gone this far, let’s let him continue to misunderstand for now." (To be continued.
