Chapter 304: Chapter 214 Nature_2

"We agreed, whenever you guys go back to your hometown, you must come to visit me, Chuxia. Don’t let my words go in one ear and out the other. You didn’t like to visit even when we were so close to each other before,"

Chuxia quickly assured, "Don’t worry, from now on, whenever I go home, I’ll definitely come to play with you."

"I’ve been wracking my brain, but couldn’t find any way to help you," Luo Xiaoqiong sighed, "Actually, our personalities really mesh well together. I truly wish I could see you more often. Sigh, you dummy, how could you be so bad at studying?"

"I didn’t want to be..." Luan Xiaoxiang’s face twitched, "I really tried hard, but I just can’t seem to learn."

Luo Xiaoqiong gave her a firm pat on the back: "Everyone is born with a talent, so don’t worry. You’ll find something suitable for you to do one day."

At that moment, Wang Meifeng walked out of the room, changed into clean clothes, with her hair neatly combed. Upon closer inspection, she had also applied a thin layer of powder on her face, "I’m hungry." She flashed a wide smile at everyone, "Join me for dinner downstairs."

Before anyone could reply, Wang Meifeng was already heading towards the staircase, while Chuxia, Luo Xiaoqiong, and Luan Xiaoxiang exchanged stunned looks and mechanically followed her.

The people downstairs were all quite surprised to see Wang Meifeng coming down.

Just now, Zhao Yuying had explained to everyone how Wang Meifeng got sick and had apologized to everyone, admitting her failure to teach her daughter properly.

Anyone would think that Wang Meifeng would be too ashamed to see people at this time. Yet, here she was, all dolled up and smiling!

"Grandpa Zhou, I’m sorry!" Wang Meifeng ignored the stares of others and walked straight to Old Master Zhou and gave him a bow.

"No, no, no..." Old Master Zhou quickly waved his hand, "You have nothing to be sorry for, child. What are you doing?"

"When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Grandpa Zhou, I am truly sincere in admitting my mistake..." Wang Meifeng then turned to Zhou Mikang, "Brother-in-law, I’m sorry!"

Zhou Mikang waved his hand and remained silent.

Wang Meifeng then turned and bowed to Elder Zhao, Zhao Yushan, and Zhao Yushui: "Grandpa, uncle, and second uncle, I’m sorry. I’ve shamed the Zhao family."

Since Zhao Yuying had already recounted the incident, nobody was surprised, but they also didn’t know how to respond to her apology. Elder Zhao mumbled something incoherent on behalf of everyone and gestured with his hand.

Then, to everyone’s amazement, Wang Meifeng took a step back and bowed in the direction of the women’s table: "I’m sorry for making everyone feel ashamed because of me!"

Watching Wang Meifeng bowing and apologizing one by one, Chuxia couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Was this cousin from Korea by any chance?

Speaking of which, the variability of her cousin’s character had indeed broadened her horizons. It seemed that every once in a while, she gave her a shock... a surprise (is it?).

Lastly, Wang Meifeng bowed to Lin Baohe, then came to the women’s table and bowed to Zhao Yulan. Just when everyone thought she would continue to apologize, she sat down next to Zhao Yuying: "Mom, I’m hungry."

Everyone: "..."

Until dinner was over, Wang Meifeng did not offer any further explanations. It was as if all her previous actions were no more than natural.

Zhao Yuying was completely confused by her own daughter. For the first time, she felt that she really didn’t understand her daughter at all.

When she came down and explained everything earlier, it was because she thought she couldn’t let Chuxia be looked down upon by the Zhou family because of her daughter’s actions. At the same time, she also couldn’t let her daughter’s actions cause relatives and friends from Lin Baohe’s side to look down upon her.

She felt that since things had already happened, instead of hiding and letting others guess, it was better for her to speak out frankly and take all the responsibility upon herself, to clear her sister’s name.

Having thought so, she did so, but her heart was still uneasy.

She felt that her daughter might really stop talking to her from this point on, moving to the school dormitory after returning home and not coming back again until she was married.

Therefore, after explaining herself, she appeared calm while sitting there, but inside she felt as if her heart were boiling. Now, her daughter’s series of actions were truly beyond her comprehension.

Unable to figure it out, she made up her mind to ask her daughter later that night what she was really thinking. Since her daughter had made a show of closeness to her in public, she naturally had to play along with it.

Not just Zhao Yulan, even the usually sharp and astute Old Lady Zhao and Elder Zhao were startled by Wang Meifeng’s actions. However, everyone, united in intent, chose silence—especially in front of the Zhou family members.

After the meal, Luo Xiaoqiong, who was bursting with things to say, dragged Chuxia and Luan Xiaoxiang outside, took a deep breath, and then asked anxiously, "Chuxia, do you believe she’s truly repentant?"

"Whether I believe it or not, what can we do about it?" Chuxia laughed, "No matter how you look at it, this is the best outcome, right?"

"That’s true. You don’t have to worry about your aunt being upset anymore, she doesn’t have to worry about the Zhou family judging you, and they don’t have to worry about whether Wang Meifeng was really sick or just faking it... No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the best outcome."

Chuxia sighed lightly, "Actually, I don’t dislike her anymore. Even though she’s opportunistic, she was able to reflect on herself immediately when it mattered and found the best way to make amends. It’s easy to say, but it’s not so easy to do, and none of us could do what she did. Of course, we wouldn’t do the things she did either."

Luan Xiaoxiang looked conflicted, "Why do I feel like it’s normal for her to do that? If she could go directly to her brother-in-law, it shows she never cared about saving face. If she doesn’t care about saving face, making a public apology can’t be that hard, right?"

Chuxia held her forehead; indeed, it’s always the most honest people who can see through to the truth! She suddenly realized she really didn’t need to worry about Luan Xiaoxiang getting cheated in business in the future...(to be continued.
