Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1319 - 868: Divided Loyalties (Part 2)

Take a step back, even if Xiao Lin’s words were a bit harsh, it was because you didn’t handle things well. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the courage to come find you for a discussion, right?"

If it weren’t for Old Master Wan telling her about Father Qian’s actions, or Wan Yuqiong’s firm attitude convincing her, she definitely would have thought this man was truly a good person with great character and manners!

Look, no matter how his wife and daughter complained, he just sternly reprimanded them while smilingly comforting her, an outsider. You know, this kind of attitude really wins over outsiders.

Of course, without his skill at putting on a good front, he couldn’t have climbed from an ordinary technician to his current position.

Afraid of slipping up while acting, Chuxia knew when to stop, got up, and took her leave.

Leaving Qian Family’s Door, she headed straight to Old Master Qi’s house.

Coming over at noon, she had told her family she was going to Old Master Qi’s house. If she had said she was going to Wan Yuqiong’s house, wouldn’t that have worried her whole family to death?

Moreover, she wanted to observe Wan Yuqiong’s attitude before deciding what to do, so from the beginning, she instructed Wang Zhongliang not to reveal her whereabouts to her family.

Having lived with Chuxia’s family for such a long time, Wang Zhongliang knew Chuxia wasn’t rash, so although a bit worried, he readily agreed.

However, not at ease, he waited outside Qian Family’s Door so that whatever was said inside the house, he could basically hear with his sharp ears.

And due to his keen hearing, when Father Qian went upstairs, he swiftly moved to the upper floor, avoiding Father Qian’s notice.

Only after escorting Chuxia to Old Master Qi’s house did Wang Zhongliang return home to report.

Chuxia had no classes until the last session of the afternoon, so she’d spend the whole afternoon at Old Master Qi’s house.

Old Madam Qi had prepared the meal early and was waiting; hearing the knock, she quickly ran to open the door, warmly took Chuxia by hand and led her inside: "You finally came, I’ve been waiting here anxiously, afraid you might not make it."

"Don’t worry, I said I’d come and I definitely did. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you..." Chuxia laughed cheekily, "Besides, even if it’s just to satisfy my appetite, I wouldn’t miss coming over."

"You really have a way with words..." Old Madam Wan pulled her to sit down, then turned to the kitchen to bring out the dishes; Chuxia quickly followed, "Grandma, let me help."

"Go sit down, you’re pregnant now, it’s better not to do much work, in case you burn or hurt yourself, it’ll be troublesome."

Chuxia looked at the old lady with exasperation, was she so incapable? Carrying a dish could get her hurt...

"Yin just called back, said there’s a situation at the hospital, he’ll be late, asks you to digest a bit after eating and then nap for half an hour."

"Master truly cares for me..." Chuxia laughed, "The other day he told me he’d be very strict, if I didn’t meet requirements, he’d fire me, but if this is strict, what isn’t? Hehe..."

"He’s just stubborn but soft-hearted..." Old Madam Qi laughed, shaking her head, "His temper is quite intolerable, but if someone truly earns his favor, he’ll treat them good as gold.

Rest assured, since he agreed to take you as a disciple, he’ll definitely teach you wholeheartedly, knowing your current condition, he’d never demand anything unreasonable of you, inform your elders at home so they won’t worry unnecessarily."

"Alright, I’ll definitely let the elders know the truth." Chuxia picked a piece of fatty pork stir-fried with radish, couldn’t help but praise, "Auntie, I usually hate stir-fried radish, but your radish stir-fry, I particularly like."

Old Madam Qi laughed, "As long as you don’t mind being served cheap veggies by Auntie."

"I’m not that inconsiderate, am I?" Chuxia said, placing a bite of veggies in Old Madam Qi’s bowl, "Auntie, don’t just watch me eat, you should eat more too, if you don’t get enough because of me, I wouldn’t dare stay for meals anymore."

"Yanyan used to come over three times a day or more, didn’t show up at all after leaving yesterday..." After finishing the meal, they chatted idly; Old Madam Qi couldn’t help mentioning Qian Yan.

"Auntie, don’t worry, once she thinks it through she’ll naturally come over, with so many years of friendship, it’s not like she could just cut ties like that. Besides, if she really were that kind, she wouldn’t be worth your concern, right?"

"True." Old Madam Qi said, offering a bitter smile, "I understand all this, I’ve told myself the same, but I just can’t help but think of her and worry.

That child has a good heart indeed, just a bit hot-tempered, with age perhaps she’ll settle down, at that time, whenever possible, it’s best you remain friends."

"Auntie, rest assured, as long as she doesn’t cause trouble for me, I definitely won’t trouble her. If she wishes to be friends, I’ll never refuse her.

As for when we can truly accept each other, become friends, that’s really beyond my control, we’ll just take things step by step, alright?"

"Alright, alright..." Old Madam Qi laughed sheepishly, "I try not to worry, but talking about it makes me want to bring you two together..."(To be continued.
