Chapter 412: Chapter 282: Mother-in-law

The second watch arrived.

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

Zhou Mikang and Chuxia, father and daughter, had brought Zhao Yulan to 401 and went straight to Jing Zhe’s office. At that moment, Chuxia could no longer care about whether her identity would be revealed or not.

Originally, she had been very resistant to the arranged marriage, and somewhat hoped that others wouldn’t find out about it. But now, after all she had gone through, she was almost certain she would spend her life with Zhou Mikang, so there was nothing to be taboo about.

Jing Zhe, who had just finished surgery, was sipping tea when, seeing Zhou Mikang suddenly appearing at the door, he sprayed the mouthful of tea out.

Cheng Guo, who was bent over filling water, heard the door and looked up only to feel a warmth on his buttocks; touching it with his hand... he fell silent...

Seeing Chuxia and Zhou Mikang come in together, Wu Jingbo was also a bit stunned. Coming to her senses, she saw Cheng Guo touching his behind, which looked like a map, and with a "pfft!" she couldn’t help but burst out laughing...

Chuxia, standing at the front, had seen the entire scene clearly. She quickly turned around, facing her parents with a smile like a blooming flower—she didn’t want to react like this, but the situation was too comical!

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe were decent people, pursing their lips tightly, their faces red with the effort of holding back laughter...

Zhou Mikang, with an expressionless face, glanced over Cheng Guo’s body and, as if having noticed nothing, turned to Jing Zhe, "My mother fainted suddenly today; she needs a full body checkup. Please arrange it for us."

"Okay." Jing Zhe, already awkward about not knowing what to say, quickly stood up, looked at Zhao Yulan and said, "Auntie, please follow me."

Cheng Guo made frantic gestures at Wu Jingbo; his appearance at the moment was really inconvenient for him to follow them. With two apprentices available, why should the teacher run the errands?

"Teacher, I’ll go," Wu Jingbo said. She had been pondering the relationship between Chuxia and these people, which had caused her to become distracted.

In fact, she had already vaguely guessed the truth.

The last time she visited the Jing Family, she heard the mother-daughter duo looking for Lin Chuxia and told Jing Zhe everything as it was. He listened seriously and after acknowledging it, changed the topic. She thought the teacher didn’t want to meddle in the matter and didn’t bring it up again.

But seeing Chuxia and Zhou Mikang together today, and hearing Zhou Mikang calling the middle-aged woman ’mom’, she had a moment of clarity.

She knew about the recent incidents Zhou family had faced, the conflict between the Xiao family and Zhou family, and also that Chuxia had taken leave for her marriage. Zhou Mikang had also gotten married recently. Linking all these events together, the truth came to the surface.

Worried about Zhao Yulan’s health, Chuxia, of course, couldn’t wait in Jing Zhe’s office and was about to walk out when Zhou Mikang stopped her, "There’s me for mom’s matters. You go to Director Song."

Due to the situation, she hadn’t dared to return to her work after her marriage leave ended. It was proper for her to visit her teacher now, and knowing that the results wouldn’t be available immediately, Chuxia nodded, "I’ll go to the teacher first, and find you guys later."

Hearing their conversation, Wu Jingbo didn’t need to guess anymore. Her gaze quickly swept over Chuxia and Zhou Mikang; she wanted to say congratulations, yet in the end, she didn’t speak out.

Song Xiaoyu knew very well about Chuxia’s inability to return to 401 for her studies, and during this time, she had asked Jing Zhe to take study materials back to Chuxia. Therefore, she had no objections to Chuxia extending her leave and, upon seeing her, immediately sent Wang Jing out, whispering, "Coming here now, isn’t it dangerous?"

A warm current flowed through Chuxia’s heart. Previously, she had thought her teacher too stern, but actually, the teacher was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She gave her a radiant smile, "Teacher, my father-in-law and Zhou Mikang have returned."

"Really?" Song Xiaoyu’s lips curled into a big smile, "That’s great, that’s truly wonderful. Yanqiu has finally weathered the storm. Let’s see how that woman struts now!"

"Which woman?" Chuxia looked at Song Xiaoyu with confusion in her eyes, "Has someone been bullying my mother-in-law?" During this time, Lin Yanqiu was living in the suburbs, and each time she returned, she spoke of it as if it was fine. But now that Song Xiaoyu mentioned it, Chuxia remembered seeing Lin Yanqiu lost in thought, her eyes full of worry. She had assumed it was because of the Zhou family’s troubles and since the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wasn’t close enough to share every worry, she had not asked further. But now it seemed, apart from the Zhou family’s issues, there was another reason.

With the Zhou family’s father and son back, Song Xiaoyu didn’t keep it from her, "That house you rented was arranged by Xiao Yuwen. The landlord is your mother-in-law’s archenemy, Qin Xiangyi. Do you think she would let your mother-in-law live comfortably?"
