Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1315 - 866: Forced Explanation

The third segment is here, this Chapter has been slightly revised.

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

As soon as Chuxia and Old Master Zhao’s group entered the door, Zhao Yushui and Lin Xiaohua excitedly came up to them, "Dad, Mom, Qiyan has given birth, it’s a big chubby boy!" Naturally, it was Lin Xiaohua who delivered the news, while Zhao Yushui stood to the side, rubbing his hands constantly.

It’s not even real, do you need to put on such an attitude? Old Master Zhao glanced at his son indifferently, then glanced at his daughter-in-law, sighed, "I already heard along the way from Xia. But, no matter what, now that you have a child, you both shouldn’t cause any more trouble, or else, don’t blame me as your father for being tough on you."

"Dad, don’t worry, I won’t act foolishly anymore..." Lin Xiaohua assured with an awkward smile, "Yushui already said, if I make any more trouble, he won’t want me anymore."

Zhao Yushui quickly nodded, indicating that his wife’s words were true.

"Hmm." Old Master Zhao approvingly glanced at his son, saying no more.

Feeling his father’s satisfaction, Zhao Yushui unconsciously straightened up, being praised by his father, this seemed to be the first time in so many years, it felt... really good!

Zhao Yulan came over with a smile to the group: "Dad, Mom, let’s eat first, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law must be starving, they arrived yesterday afternoon and couldn’t find a place, so stayed at the station last night. Early this morning, they came over and I asked them to have some snacks to tide them over, but they insisted on waiting for Dad and Mom to come back before starting."

"Let’s eat, let’s eat..." Old Master Zhao went to wash his hands and came back, then first handed a red egg to Old Master Wan, "Old Master Wan, no matter what, this counts as a happy occasion, have one."

"Sure." Old Master Wan took the red egg, tapped it on the table, peeled it, and handed it to Sister-in-law Yin, "You’ve got more on your mind at home, you have this one first."

Sister-in-law Yin’s face flushed red, surprised that Old Master Wan would make such a gesture in front of everyone. From knowing him until now, this kind of intimate gesture was a first...

"Look at you, why are you so excited?" Old Master Wan chuckled as he stuffed the egg into her hand, "Honestly, you have more troubles at home than I do, so the first red egg is for you. I’ll get another one." He reached for another one and smiled at Old Master Zhao, "Brother Zhao, you won’t be mad at me, right?"

"No, no, of course not!" Old Master Zhao waved his hand repeatedly, "I’m just hoping for more happy events now, I’m happy, I’m happy, haha..."

Watching the interaction among the group, Chuxia’s doubts deepened.

She was a hundred percent certain that her grandfather knew about Old Master Wan and that woman with the surname Sun, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such a thing. And she was also sure there was definitely something between Old Master Wan and that woman, otherwise, Old Master Wan probably wouldn’t have made such a gesture in front of everyone.

In simple terms, Old Master Wan was making a promise to Sister-in-law Yin in front of everyone.

But what exactly is the truth?

Sigh, being a junior, it’s probably not appropriate to ask directly, but with Sister-in-law Yin’s personality, she probably wouldn’t actively pursue it either. Does this mean everyone’s going to be on edge all the time?

After breakfast, Chuxia went to school.

She had a class first thing in the morning, no matter how many doubts she had, she could only talk about it after school.

The moment the bell rang, Lin Mengran leaned over to Chuxia’s ear and whispered, "I saw you were distracted all through class, what’s up? If anything’s wrong, just say it out, don’t forget you have so many sisters here."

"It’s not my problem..." Chuxia sighed, "It’s the elders that have some issues, and as a junior, it’s not really my place to intervene, but I can’t help worrying for them."

"Can you talk to me about it?"

"No, I can’t." Chuxia shook her head, "It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that this involves the privacy of the elders, and without their permission, it’s not appropriate for me to speak about it recklessly."

"I understand, I understand..." Lin Mengran patted her shoulder comfortingly, "The elders have so much life experience and social experience, if there’s an issue, they’ll definitely figure out a way to solve it, don’t overthink it, you should know what’s crucial for you right now."

"Got it." Chuxia replied helplessly, "Given my current health situation, I really shouldn’t think too much, but don’t forget, I’m human, not a robot. When something happens, how can I possibly just not think if I don’t want to?"

"Try to control it."

"Control what?" Yang Xiaoli poked her head over, "You guys started whispering secretively right after class ended, isn’t that a bit too much?"

"Then let me tell you clearly, after all the whispering, I didn’t come to any substantial conclusion, okay? I’ll step aside, and now it’s your turn to whisper." Lin Mengran said as she got up and moved to the side of Yang Xiaoli, then dragged Li Xinli to the restroom.

"What’s up?" Yang Xiaoli asked, looking at Chuxia in confusion, "Judging by your expression, it seems like you’ve encountered some difficult problem or maybe one that Mengran can’t solve?"

"Nothing much." Chuxia shook her head in helplessness, "She’s just being mysterious, I don’t have any issues, it’s the elders’ private matters I’m worried about, but without their consent, I’m not in a position to say anything, got it?"

Yang Xiaoli nodded after her eyes darted around, "Got it, the people in trouble aren’t Uncle Lin and Auntie Zhao, right?"

"No."

"Hmm, I don’t think it’s them either..." Yang Xiaoli leaned her head closer to her, "As long as they’re not the ones in trouble, I’m relieved. The other elders have experience, no matter if there’s trouble or not, it’ll all be fine in the end. Don’t worry too much. Come on, let’s go out for some activity. 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 over from a distance and instinctively frowned. Was she coming over to find her at this time? But in unclear circumstances, she really didn’t want to engage.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the other party had already noticed her and was rushing toward her. She could only sigh subtly and plaster an impeccable smile on her face.

At school, she was already well-known. If she were to quarrel with a stranger, rumors would only become more outrageous. During sensitive periods, better to avoid what can be avoided.

With this in mind, Chuxia simply went to meet her and proactively asked, "Looking for me?"

"Yes." Qian Yan glanced at Yang Xiaoli and Wu Jingbo standing beside her, "Can you two give me a little space?"

"No." Yang Xiaoli rejected Qian Yan’s request without a second thought.

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

"The same." Wu Jingbo looked at her indifferently, "You’ve always been unfriendly to Chuxia. At this time, we can’t possibly let you be alone with her."

"Wu Jingbo, could you do me a favor considering I’m friends with your sister?" Qian Yan took a deep breath and stared at Wu Jingbo with a serious expression, "I promise I won’t harm Lin Chuxia at all. I’m looking for her because there’s something I need her help with.

As for..." Her gaze shifted to Yang Xiaoli, "As for my past unfriendliness, it was due to some misunderstandings between us. Now that that misunderstanding’s cleared, I won’t be unfriendly to her.

If you really don’t trust me, let’s make a compromise and head to the playground. You can watch us from a distance where you can’t hear me and Lin Chuxia talking. Is that okay?"

"Xiaoli, Jingbo, it’s alright." Chuxia smiled at Yang Xiaoli and Wu Jingbo, then turned to Qian Yan, "Standing for too long would make me feel very tired, let’s sit at the stands and talk."

"Thanks." Qian Yan expressed her gratitude and followed Chuxia toward the playground stands.

"Should we... follow them?" Yang Xiaoli hesitantly looked at Wu Jingbo. She felt they should follow, but since Chuxia decided to trust Qian Yan, doing so might undermine Chuxia, leaving her uncertain.

"Let’s take a stroll to the playground..." Wu Jingbo said while walking ahead, "No one said we couldn’t go hang around the playground, besides, it’s not just us strolling there."

"Smart!" Yang Xiaoli snapped her fingers, "Jingbo, I increasingly feel you’re truly smart. Though usually quiet, when needed, you never let anyone down!"

"Your friends still don’t trust me..." Glancing back, Qian Yan smiled bitterly at Chuxia, "Seems like my past behavior was indeed terrible."

"What do you want from me?" Chuxia directly jumped into the topic.

"Did you tell my grandpa about my mom’s situation?"

"Yes, I did."

"Thank you."

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

"No..." Qian Yan looked at Chuxia, "I..." Despite hesitating for a long time, she ultimately couldn’t say anything, and Chuxia sighed, "If saying it is inconvenient, don’t force yourself.

As for what I said, we’re good to Grandpa Wan because we’re connected by fate and we genuinely like him. If you and your mother want to reconcile with Grandpa Wan, we’ll only support and be happy for you, certainly won’t obstruct you. So don’t worry about that."

"It’s not that..." Qian Yan shook her head, "If it were about that issue, I wouldn’t come to you nor be this attitude towards you.

Lin Chuxia, regardless, I want to thank you first. Without meeting you, my grandpa wouldn’t be as happy as he is now, nor would my mom truly be at ease."

"Hmm?" Hearing the latter part, Chuxia’s eyes widened in surprise, "Are you implying your mom’s attitude toward Grandpa Wan is intentional?"

"Sort of." Qian Ying bit her lip and smiled bitterly, "If I hadn’t pushed her, my mom wouldn’t have told me the truth. Without knowing the truth, I wouldn’t have come to terms with it so quickly.

Lin Chuxia, you have to promise me you’ll take good care of my grandpa. Also, don’t tell grandpa I came looking for you, since my mom went this far, let grandpa keep misunderstanding."
