Chapter 229: Chapter 176: Make Amends

The night deepened.

"Why not now? When do you plan to go?" Team leader Tongzi glanced at Chuxia, "Are you worried I won’t agree? I won’t stop you from that, since I promised to let you work, I should obviously cooperate with you."

Chuxia was speechless. Team leader Tongzi, could you be any more self-important?

Zhou Mikang also realized that his question contradicted what he had just said. It was he who suggested that she go to school. How could she possibly think he wouldn’t agree?

Alas, what was wrong with him? His thinking was usually meticulous in front of others. Why did it become all jumbled when he talked to her? "Let’s just do as you say. You’re not dumb; you should know what you’re doing."

You’re the dumb one! Chuxia unconsciously rolled her eyes at him. Is there such a person? If you say something wrong, blame it on someone else. That’s really shameless!

She was well aware that the younger you are, the more advantages you have. But in this era, circumstances are special. Speaking of which, this year is actually the perfect age for her to enroll in school. If she wanted to pursue a bachelor-master-doctorate sequence, she could finish by the time she was twenty-seven, a vigorous age. Wow, she could become a renowned doctor in her thirties. She thought about it and literally started to see stars...

Zhou Mikang glanced at a delighted Chuxia and couldn’t help but knock on her head lightly, "What are you smiling about?"

"Hey!" Chuxia, suddenly jolted awake, glared at him indignantly, "What if you knocked some sense out of this clever brain of mine? Do you realize you almost knocked out a potential great doctor!"

Zhou Mikang’s mouth twitched. "Are you preemptively making excuses for yourself?"

"Paranoid!" Chuxia glared fiercely at him, "Zhou Mikang, one day, you will be in awe of me!"

Zhou Mikang chuckled and shook his head. "Fine, I’ll wait."

If you see him laughing like that, you’d know he didn’t believe her one bit. Chuxia pursed her lips, snorted coldly, and turned her head away to look out the window, ignoring him.

Oh, did the little lady get her ego bruised? Zhou Mikang’s eyes brimmed with amusement. He liked this version of her best—the one who bared her fangs and claws at him, unlike other women who either were so compliant they could be specimens of a perfect wife, or pretended to be haughty but kept their eyes glued to him. Or perhaps, this was precisely why he was determined to marry her—he wanted a wife, not a woman who would worship him or his family!

Won over by her? The thought made him laugh silently.

She turned back suddenly and glared at him fiercely, "Stop laughing!"

"Okay." He complied promptly, his face becoming serious, "Don’t worry about my parents, I’ll take care of them. Just rest well, I assure you, in three days you can look after them freely."

"Yes!" Hearing that she could take care of her parents in three days made Chuxia’s face light up with joy. This meant that Team leader Tongzi had agreed for her to work as Jing Zhe’s assistant! This meant that Team leader Tongzi endorsed her plan to become a famous doctor! This meant that the days her parents would be proud of her were not far off!

Of course, all of this was a daunting road ahead, but living life always requires a goal. Unlike when she first arrived, drifting aimlessly, she had now found her own worth. She wanted to make her life valuable!

In the past, she had a carefree life. All she needed to do was follow her parents’ orders, practice the piano, attend classes, without a worry about her future. However, back then, she was more like a puppet controlled by her parents.

In this era, all the comforts of the past were gone. She was so lost she didn’t know what to do. She had never imagined that such melodramatic twists could happen to her. If she had known earlier, she definitely would have studied up on this era. Unfortunately, "If only I had known" is on par with "Hindsight is 20/20."

Thinking about the heroines in the books who time-traveled, each one thriving spectacularly, causing upheaval. Not like her, struggling to even eat enough. But that’s reality, being a would-be 90s girl raised as a delicate flower, arriving in this era without any advantages!

Yes, even a delicate flower like her had a bit more business intelligence than the people of this era, but trying to do business now was like asking for a slow death!

Unfortunately, she didn’t have a strong physique, so she could only let her parents struggle bitterly. Originally, she had hoped to endure a few years, attend college, and then find a way out.
