Chapter 443: Chapter 307 Goodwill/Seeking

Do you know what’s the most painful thing about losing a manuscript? It’s the desperate attempt to write it back exactly as it was, but no matter how hard you try, the details escape you. Then you become obsessed and end up wrestling with it, and as a result, a single Chapter takes a whole day to write..

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

Chuxia, peeking through the door, saw Xiao Bingqi and Xiao Yuwen, father and son, with their limp arms and legs. She shuddered involuntarily. Although she hadn’t completed her medical training, she could tell what had happened—their joints had been dislocated.

"Now, think carefully..." Zhou Mikang toyed with the pen in his hand, baring his teeth at the two, "I have plenty of time. The key is you. If you delay any longer, even if they’re put back in place, you’ll only be good as crawling animals, no, wriggling creatures. Imagine living like that, tsk, tsk..."

"I’ve confessed all that I could. There’s really nothing left. Please, Regimental Commander Zhou, spare me for your sister’s sake. Leave me a way out, will you?" Xiao Yuwen wailed, snot and tears streaming down his face, a pitiful sight to any onlooker.

He was truly on the verge of collapse, having even confessed to the time he poked holes through someone’s window paper as a child. If he were to get more detailed, it would probably come down to how many meals he ate a day and what he ate—of course, that’s if he could remember.

Feeling a tug on her arm, Chuxia quickly turned around to see Zeng Meili smiling at her, "Hello, Captain Zeng." She greeted her promptly.

"Third sister-in-law, if Third Brother hears you calling me that, I bet he’ll never talk to me again." Zeng Meili said, pulling Chuxia outside, "There’s nothing to see here. Let’s go for a walk and get some fresh air."

Chuxia wasn’t particularly interested in the interrogation either. She despised the Xiao family father and son to the extreme and couldn’t wait for their misfortune. But after seeing their current state, she already felt completely vindicated.

The feeling of having all your joints dislocated needs no experience—it’s obviously worse than death. The father and son were not howling in pain because they were tough, but because they had already numbed to it.

Noticing that Zeng Meili kept sizing her up, Chuxia asked with puzzled look, "Could it be that I’ve become prettier in just a few days?"

"Hehe..." Zeng Meili chuckled and turned back, "I’m just happy for Third Brother. He’s finally found someone he likes."

Recalling Zhou Mikang’s words, Chuxia explained with a laugh, "No, he was just fulfilling his responsibility, his duty as a husband. That’s what he said himself."

Zeng Meili pursed her lips, "That’s just how Third Brother is, always saying the opposite of what he feels. I was in his office when he received Yang Xiaoli’s call."

His expression then was exactly like when Raorao had an accident. I overheard a bit and was really scared, thought something had happened to you.

He ran out without a word the moment he hung up..." She stretched out her hand in front of Chuxia, "Look, if I hadn’t moved quickly, I reckon my hand would have been ruined."

The tips of all ten fingers were already turning blue-black... Chuxia gasped, "How did this happen?"

"When I caught up to the car and was about to get in, he darted out and scraped my fingers on the car door. You can imagine how fast he was moving." Zeng Meili sighed, "I reckon I would have been run over if I stood in front of the car."

Chuxia wanted to apologize on Zhou Mikang’s behalf, but the words died on her lips. They were close cousins, after all, and she was just a new bride... perhaps it was better not to say anything.

"Third sister-in-law, aren’t you going to apologize on Third Brother’s behalf to me?" Zeng Meili nudged Chuxia, who was lost in thought, "After all, I was injured because of your affair."

Chuxia smiled sheepishly, "Thank you."

Zeng Meili was at a loss, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for worrying about me."

"Still not used to the role?" Zeng Meili laughed, "Third Brother’s matters are your matters. You and Third Brother are the closest, all of us, including my second aunt, need to step back."

She could never dare to think like that, feeling it was tantamount to courting death. Unable to find a response, Chuxia just smiled. However, in that moment, her gratitude towards Zhou Mikang deepened.

"Do you know why I brought you out here now?" Zeng Meili sighed softly and asked.

"You didn’t want me to see the disgusting state of the Xiao father and son, that’s what I can think of. For the rest, I have no idea."

"There’s that reason, but the main thing is..." Zeng Meili paused, "I just wanted to have a heart-to-heart with you. Our relationship started as superior and subordinate, and now we’re sisters-in-law.
