Chapter 448: Chapter 310: Unhappy
First update, I’ve revised some typos again.
--------------------------------
Zhou Mikang and Ye Meiru’s entangled relationship was well known to Rao Ying, which was why, when her younger sister expressed her fondness for Zhou Mikang, initially she didn’t agree. She never considered Zhou Mikang to be a suitable husband—too stubborn and smelly-tempered, too inconsiderate. Marrying such a man was tiring.
However, after spelling everything out clearly and plainly, her sister still stubbornly set her heart on marrying Zhou Mikang, so she stopped trying to intervene.
She and her sister had a very close relationship, and she doted on her sister immensely, but she knew all too well that when a girl falls blindly and unconditionally in love with a man, if you go against her wishes, even if she marries another man who loves her more and is in a better position, she will not be happy.
That said, not intervening didn’t mean she would assist her sister. After all, she had never been in favor of Zhou Mikang and did not consider him a suitable brother-in-law.
Years went by with no progress between her sister and Zhou Mikang, and she was secretly delighted, hoping her sister would soon fall for someone new, someone truly suitable for her.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she hoped. Before her sister had the chance to fall for someone else, she found a way to get close to Zhou Mikang—by joining the Women’s Medical Team to work by his side.
On this matter, their parents’ attitude had always been to let nature take its course. If her sister married into the Zhou family, it would be an excellent opportunity for the Rao family. Therefore, when her sister asked for her help and was rejected, their parents stepped in, hoping she would lend her sister a hand.
Everyone failed to understand her concerns, including her sister. Out of helplessness, she could only turn to Qiao Gang for assistance.
In fact, her relationship with Qiao Gang was only outwardly picture-perfect; the hardships were hers alone to know.
The Qiao family might be slightly behind the Ye family and the Zhou family in terms of foundation, but in City A, it was still counted among the esteemed households, towering far above hers by more than just a smidge.
In her relationship with Qiao Gang, it had always been her accommodating him in every way, unconditionally so.
However, he was quite savvy in dealing with people, always sparing her dignity in front of her relatives and friends. Thus, after more than two years of being together, her family and friends increasingly believed she had found the most ideal match for herself.
Her sister had expressed her envy more than once, but she lacked the courage to speak of what she endured, and her vanity wouldn’t allow her to reveal it either.
No one knew that the price she paid for getting Qiao Gang’s help with getting her sister into the medical team was servicing Qiao Gang three days a week, a kind of "service" that was beyond most people’s comprehension.
Luckily, the injuries were always in places that weren’t visible, so nobody would find out, but the feeling of humiliation often tormented her through sleepless nights.
If he truly wanted to marry her, would he torment her like this? That was the question she pondered over and over. Unfortunately, she couldn’t find the answer and didn’t dare to ask outright. She was afraid that if she did, it would be the end of their relationship.
The real reason Qiao Gang was with her was not out of love, but because Elder Qiao’s favorite grandson, Qiao Jingjun, once pursued her. Qiao Gang, feeling inferior to Qiao Jingjun, was merely seeking balance by taking it out on her. During intercourse, he would repeatedly ask her, who was better, him or Qiao Jingjun.
She had never been with Qiao Jingjun, so how could she know who was better?
If she didn’t answer, he would beat her mercilessly.
With no other choice, she could only go against her own feelings and respond as he wished.
In their exchanges, Qiao Jingjun became a man ridiculed for his quick finish and impotence.
If she had recognized Qiao Gang’s true nature earlier, she probably wouldn’t have ended up with him, but she had already followed him, and her vanity didn’t allow her any way out.
People are strange creatures. When Qiao Jingjun pursued her, she couldn’t bring herself to like the tall, strong, and dark Qiao Jingjun, finding him too uncouth. Being with him felt like a humiliating affair.
Yet, it wasn’t until she fell for Qiao Gang that she slowly realized what a good man she had missed. If there were such a thing as a regret medicine for sale in this world, she would be the first in line to buy and eat it!
The sound of running water in the bathroom ceased, and Rao Ying shivered involuntarily. After having suffered from Zhou Mikang’s snub during the day, she dreaded to think what he might do tonight.
Touching the hard scabs on her body, she felt a deep chill within her.
Escape?
She didn’t dare. It was she who had dragged him to seek help, and even though they hadn’t gotten any, if it wasn’t for her, how would he have been humiliated by Zhou Mikang?
Zhou Mikang was Qiao Jingjun’s close buddy.
Given this relationship, she figured she would likely end up peeling off another layer of skin tonight if not worse.
Thinking of her sister looking pitiful and helpless in the detention room, staring at her like a frightened little rabbit, she gritted her teeth, forced down the urge to run away, and accepted that now, it was only Qiao Gang who could save her little sister.
Today, when she returned home, her parents’ eyes were red. She had always scorned their timidity, but she had to admit that her parents had always done their utmost to take care of them. They had never, like her uncles, pressured their daughter to bring benefits to the family or hoped for them to marry men with good conditions. They wished for their daughters’ happiness, not to gain benefits from them.
At that moment, Qiao Gang came out of the bathroom, stark naked with not a hint of a smile on his face. Without saying a word, he walked to the bed, pulled back the covers, and yanked Rao Ying out...
...
At five o’clock in the morning, Rao Ying staggered home, having been tormented by Qiao Gang all night, who only left her with one word: "Scram!"
She no longer had the strength to argue with him, but she didn’t dare to go home now. Judging from his attitude this time, she feared the worst. Before, he would never allow her to bring such an image home.
Where could she go?
After hesitating for a while, she started walking towards the Zhou family’s place. At a time like this, she couldn’t lose her sister; if no one would help her, she’d have to help herself.
Based on Zhou Mikang’s behavior yesterday, he seemed to care a lot about his little wife. So, she decided to seek her...
Halfway there, she suddenly stopped. If she went to the Zhou residence, would Zhou Mikang allow her to see her?
So, she changed direction and headed for 401.
...
Chuxia had made up her mind the previous night but didn’t wait for the group leader Tongzi. She didn’t know at what time she fell asleep, but when she woke up, the book was still in her hand, and the seat beside her was still empty. She sat still for a while, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Was he purposely avoiding her or did he really have something urgent to tend to?
If he had something urgent, shouldn’t he have at least let her know?(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
