Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1277 - 838: Apology/Night Return (Double - ) (2)

Zhou Mikang’s sister came.

Lin Yanqiu frowned: "This child really has no sense. It’s already eight o’clock and she’s just coming over now. What was she doing earlier?" Saying this, she looked at Chuxia, "Go upstairs to rest, I’ll go talk to her."

Chuxia quickly said, "Mom, it’s just a few words. Let her come in, and I’ll talk to her. Isn’t it giving her too much face to have you host her?"

"Your health is more important than my face." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Mom..." Chuxia smiled, "It’s such an easy thing for her to apologize to you; you’re the elder, so it’s easy for her to apologize. I want her to apologize to me in person."

Lin Yanqiu paused for a moment, then understood, and shook her head with a smile. "Alright, as you wish," she said, looking at Aunt Qin, "Let her in."

After a moment, a girl in her twenties entered somewhat timidly. However, if you looked closely, you’d find that her timid demeanor was definitely feigned—there wasn’t a trace of timidity in her eyes.

She was of medium height, with short legs and a long torso, and her face was somewhat square-shaped, though her eyes were quite large... Chuxia had seen Fang Tao once, and Fang Xiang resembled Fang Tao a bit, but she wasn’t as pleasant to look at as Fang Tao.

"Hello Grandma Zhou, Aunt Lin, hello to this gentleman, and hello to you, eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law." When Zhou Nanping got married, she had met the people from the Zhou family, so Fang Xiang greeted them accurately and without missing a word when they met.

"Have a seat," Old Madam Zhou smiled at her, "It’s been a few years, and you’ve grown taller."

"Grandma, you have such a good memory..." Fang Xiang’s eyes sparkled with a bit of surprise, "You still remember me?"

"Of course." Old Madam Zhou nodded, "I had originally forgotten, but when this incident happened, it all came back to me."

These words were like a whip striking her face, making Fang Xiang’s face flush red, and she regretted her decision. At first, Zhou Nanping had called her to apologize to Lin Chuxia at school.

But after thinking it over, she wanted to come see the Lin family.

When her brother Fang Tao married Zhou Nanping, she fell for Zhou Mikang at first sight and had asked Zhou Nanping to pass on a message for her, but Zhou Nanping refused without hesitation, clearly telling her that Zhou Mikang would never be interested in her.

Unwilling to accept it, she sought out Zhou Mikang a few times, but never even saw him.

After several attempts like this, her interest faded, and she secretly despised Zhou Mikang for not recognizing what was good for him. After all, she was four or five years younger than him; it should have been enough that she liked him, yet he rejected her, how narcissistic!

Inwardly, she hoped that Zhou Mikang would never find a wife, that would please her immensely.

In the end, not only did he find someone, but he found someone younger, and more attractive than she was. When she heard about her without having seen her, she thought people were exaggerating. However, upon actually seeing her, she had to admit that even she wanted to take a few more glances at Lin Chuxia.

As her expectations fell apart, disappointment and jealousy surged up. Initially, she just pondered quietly to herself, without any plans, but unexpectedly, her dear sister-in-law handed her the opportunity. How could she miss it?!

Looking back, she realized she was letting jealousy cloud her judgement, never considering what would happen if she got caught.

Her family wasn’t what it used to be, and getting into university was a great opportunity for her. If she lost it, she might have to live a mundane life as an ordinary housewife for the rest of her days.

So when Zhou Nanping called to say the truth was out, she was truly frightened, but upon hearing that she could stay in school as long as she apologized to Lin Chuxia, jealousy once again surfaced.

Even if Lin Chuxia was prettier, Lin Chuxia was just an ordinary village girl, so why did Zhou Mikang like Lin Chuxia and not her?

It was too humiliating to apologize to Lin Chuxia!

But if she didn’t apologize, she couldn’t stay in school.

Weighing the options, she decided to listen to Zhou Nanping.

However, she had her own thoughts. Since Zhou Nanping mentioned Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu were in the Capital City, she thought that with Lin Chuxia’s disposition, she wouldn’t be favored by the elders after marrying into the Zhou family.

So, if she said a few nice things to the elders, maybe they could suppress the apology issue for her?

For this foolish mistake, she had Zhou Nanping to blame.

Zhou Nanping didn’t like Chuxia, so ever since Chuxia married into the Zhou family as her third sister-in-law, she was unwilling to speak a word of praise about Chuxia in the husband’s family.
