Chapter 836: Chapter 564: Resolution (Part 2)
Luo Xiaoqiong, quietly sitting on the side as a background panel, lightly coughs: “Watching you two flirting and bantering, there’s still someone here, you know. Don’t neglect my existence too much, okay?”
“Weren’t you nervous? I’m trying to ease the tension in this way for you, and instead of understanding, you’re picking on me.” Chuxia gives her a sideways glance, “That’s too much.”
“Now it’s my fault?!” Luo Xiaoqiong is speechless, “The saying about biting the hand that feeds you definitely describes you. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come with you to endure this hardship.”
Chuxia, staring at her, Luo Xiaoqiong shrugs her shoulders: “You know it’s not true. Ugh, being your friend means being at your mercy? How did I end up with a friend like you?”
“Really?” Chuxia chuckles and pinches her, “Well, it’s too late to regret now. In my Lin Chuxia’s dictionary, the best friend is none other than Luo Xiaoqiong.”
“I’m telling the truth…” Chuxia stares at her seriously, “Have you never felt my affection for you?”
“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Zhou Mikang pretends to cough a few times, “Be mindful of the impression.”
Luo Xiaoqiong looks at him amused: “Captain, tell me honestly, are you jealous hearing Chuxia say that?”
“Her friendship with you gives me nothing to be jealous of. But have you considered where we are, and what if someone overhears? What then?”
Upon hearing this, Chuxia instantly wiped the smile off her face and sat up properly. Indeed, how could she be so lax? In this era, the tolerance for such talk is zero. She certainly doesn’t want to stand out.
Twenty minutes later, footsteps echoed outside. They paused at the door, and then the door opened as Jiang Quan entered with Yao Limei and Su Weimin.
If they could resolve things on their own, Zhou Mikang and Chuxia wouldn’t have come here. So going over it again, the content wasn’t much different than before, and a satisfying result was naturally out of the question.
Just when both sides were in a heated argument, Elder Yao arrived.
This made Chuxia restrain herself from calling him an old fox again. He just had people watching outside, waiting for the most suitable moment to come in, taking advantage of everyone being emotional, making it easy to get agreement on his proposals. Simply put, he’s still siding with his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter.
Of course, it’s human nature, but this human nature is something she couldn’t accept. Plus, with Zhou Mikang giving her a heads-up, she calmed down as soon as he entered.
“You all, why are you arguing instead of solving the problem properly?” Elder Yao shook his head helplessly after sitting down. “I could hear you all the way outside. How does that sound?”
“Dad, Jiaohong’s leg is crippled, how can you expect me to calm down?” Yao Limei spoke with red eyes, “We and Weimin came all the way here, and you didn’t even see us, just sent us to this place. Dad, do you even consider me your own daughter? Do you consider Jiaohong your own granddaughter? If Xiaoyan encountered such a thing, would you handle it the same way?”
“Don’t drag Xiaoyan into this. Xiaoyan would never be as inconsiderate as Jiaohong.” Elder Yao gave his daughter a glance, “In dealing with this matter, I’m first a fair judge, then your father.
Because I am your father, I have to avoid any possible conflict of interest. If I see you first, what would Xiao Zhou think? That we’ve conspired to gang up against him? You’re the one who made the first mistake, do you want to keep erring and deepen the conflict?
I’ve been teaching you since childhood to think thrice before acting, not to be impulsive. How much of it did you actually listen to? Jiaohong is your daughter, you care about her, Chuxia also has parents, do you think they won’t feel pain after seeing her hurt ?
Moreover, she is Xiao Zhou’s wife, do you think after what you did to her, Xiao Zhou would really just turn a blind eye? If that were true, do you think your daughter’s plans would have been accomplished already, instead of her lying in a hospital?”
“Dad, you’re being so petty…” Yao Limei wept, “You just favor Xiaoyan because Jiaohong isn’t a Yao by surname, so you don’t love her and always pick on her faults.
We’ve all gone through youth, isn’t making mistakes at this age normal? As long as Xiao Zhou’s stance is firm, what’s there to fear? The fact he’s dealing with Jiaohong so hastily shows he’s guilty.
Why did I hit Lin Chuxia? It’s because she doesn’t respect people enough, I’m stepping in for her elders to teach her a lesson. I knew she’d use this to stir things up, that’s why Weimin and I rushed over, but still they’ve misled you, dad.
Dad, if you went to the hospital and saw Jiaohong’s condition, you definitely wouldn’t be speaking up for them. Even if Jiaohong is wrong, Zhou Mikang shouldn’t have been so harsh with her!”
“Enough. You’re my daughter, would I not know your temperament?” Elder Yao glared at her, “No matter what happens, the first thing you think of is finding excuses for yourself, without even considering where you’re wrong.
If you hadn’t spoiled Jiaohong, she wouldn’t be so capricious. Tell me, did I or did I not advise you to counsel Jiaohong properly, to dissuade her from what she shouldn’t be pursuing?
But what was the result? How did you counsel? If you’d done your duty as a mother, would she be in the hospital now? Instead of facing your own responsibility, you’re just shifting the blame onto others. And you…” Elder Yao’s gaze turned to Su Weimin, silently sitting on the side, “you just blindly agree with her no matter what. Do you think I’d like you because of that?” (To be continued.
