Chapter 116: Chapter 98: Going All Out_2

"Let me tell you, I wouldn’t do such a foolish thing. The initiators of this situation are you guys, so naturally, you should bear the consequences. Whatever the reason you brought me here, you must be responsible for your actions."

Moreover, I personally don’t believe I got my position as a medic through nepotism, and Luo Xiaoqiong definitely didn’t. You can’t just apply your own ideas and label us unqualified."

Of course, if you insist on pinning that label on us, there’s nothing we can do about it. After all, an officer’s rank always carries weight, not to mention you’re several ranks above us."

But don’t expect me to just quit—it’s not happening..." Chuxia pointed to her own head, "I’ve already cut my hair. Unless you can reattach it for me, then maybe, I’d consider going home."

"You..." Zeng Meili was torn between laughter and tears by Chuxia’s final retort, "You seem to be misunderstanding me more and more. Haven’t I said it? No matter what, I will let you continue to serve in the military."

"Well, that’s good."

"So..."

Chuxia frowned at Zeng Meili’s troubled expression: "If there’s any problem, just say it directly."

"I..." Zeng Meili sighed, "To be honest, I’m conflicted. I hope you can come with me to the Zhou family to help everyone out, but I’m afraid of making a wrong bet and dragging you into this."

Plus, thinking it over on the way here, I feel there’s almost a 90% chance we are wrong. You’re only seventeen, and my Third Brother is already twenty-seven. How could it be possible..." She didn’t finish her sentence, but the implication was clear, how could a 27-year-old guy be interested in a thin 17-year-old girl?

"If gambling right or wrong doesn’t affect my ability to continue serving or get me in trouble, I don’t mind going with you to the Zhou family." Chuxia tossed the dilemma back to Zeng Meili.

She had figured it out in just this short while.

In this era, someone like her, a small fry, didn’t have much say. Like last time with the Xue family, if everything hadn’t happened just right, it was uncertain whether she would have been able to escape or not.

Moreover, her mother’s concerns were reasonable. With her looks, getting married into an ordinary family could be a blessing or a curse, but if she could find a man capable of protecting her, she might be happy for the rest of her life.

Of course, this didn’t mean she wanted to marry Zhou Mikang. The idea itself was far-fetched—given Zhou Mikang’s status, how could he possibly take an interest in her?

Serving a little longer in the military, getting into university on her own merit, and then pushing off marriage a bit longer—maybe she would even meet her true love.

Going home to study for university was also an option, but no matter the era, having one’s place taken by another was a common occurrence. Although such a thought was pessimistic, not taking advantage of an opportunity laid before her would be foolish!

If she stubbornly opposed Zeng Meili and the Zhou family elders, even if they agreed with her, they could easily come up with an excuse to send her home later.

Not to mention anything else, just her physical condition could serve as a good excuse.

Fainting after running a few kilometers on the first day, with just that alone, they could send her home.

So, acting a bit weaker was her only strategy right now.

As long as they could ensure she continued to serve, or give her a chance to apply for university in the military, she didn’t mind cooperating a bit more.

As for whether Zhou Mikang would like her, that really wasn’t a consideration. Plus, in her view, that was just a pipe dream!

He was only treating her as a substitute for his sister...eh? With that thought, Zhou Mikang wouldn’t send her home! Not even out of guilt towards his sister would he send her away!

With this in mind, the worry in her eyes disappeared.

Perhaps, taking this opportunity to clarify things would be good for everyone!

"Let’s go, I’ll come with you to the Zhou family," Chuxia said.

"Ah?" The sudden 180-degree turn caught Zeng Meili off guard, and she stared at Chuxia bemusedly, "Are you sure you want to go with me to the Zhou family? Mainly, I can’t confirm yet whether we’ll be able to keep you after my Third Brother gets angry."

"Let’s try and see what happens. How can we know the result without trying?" Chuxia waved her hand, "Let’s go. No matter what the outcome, I won’t blame you. In the first place, joining the military was an unexpected joy, and since Madam went out of her way to get a special recruitment letter for me, I should thank her in person."
