118: Chapter 99: The Fattest Gallbladder 118: Chapter 99: The Fattest Gallbladder Glancing at Zeng Meili who quietly hid behind Old Madam Zhou, Chuxia was speechless. Just before, Zeng Meili fearlessly claimed she would withstand Regimental Commander Zhou’s anger to protect her, but what happened? The moment she entered the house, it turned into every man for himself. “Hehe...” Catching Chuxia’s gaze head-on, Zeng Meili also felt her behavior was somewhat disgraceful, thus sheepishly stepping forward and gesturing with her fingers, “Third Brother, Chuxia roughly knows a little bit.” Zhou Mikang didn’t even glance at Zeng Meili and directly asked Chuxia, “Knowing what this is all about, you still dared to come?” “Lin Chuxia, is it? Come sit over here, come sit over here.” Lin Yanqiu, despite her son’s glaring daggers at her, pulled Chuxia to her side, “I’m Mimi’s mother, and I also have the Lin surname. We are practically family.” The person who always looks grumpy is named Mimi? That’s so out of place, isn’t it! Chuxia struggled to suppress her urge to burst out laughing, and politely greeted Lin Yanqiu, “Hello, Aunt Lin.” “Okay, okay, hello Chuxia, this is Mimi’s grandparents, this is Mimi’s father, this is Mimi’s aunt and uncle, this is Mimi’s older brother and sister...” Lin Yanqiu introduced everyone in the room one by one, and Chuxia greeted each of them. Everyone’s attitude was still quite good, only Old Dad Zhou grunted with his head lowered, not even glancing at her. So, was Old Dad Zhou the most discontented with her? It didn’t matter. After all, she was just here to solve a problem. Whether Old Dad Zhou liked her or not was irrelevant. As long as they resolved the issue and didn’t kick her back to her hometown, everything would be fine. “Chuxia, come sit next to me.” Zhou Xiangping, who had been hiding behind Zhou Hanliang, poked her head out and waved at Chuxia, it was unclear whether she wanted Chuxia to join her in hiding behind Zhou Hanliang or just to sit next to her for moral support. “Go ahead, go ahead.” Seeing Chuxia in a bit of a dilemma, Lin Yanqiu cheerfully patted her encouraging her to go over. It wasn’t until Chuxia sat next to Zhou Xiangping, with Zeng Meili on one side and Zhou Xiangping in the middle, that Zhou Mikang still had not spoken. He stood emotionlessly in the center of the room, his expression as though he was watching a movie. “Mimi...” The oppressive atmosphere made Lin Yanqiu uneasy as she tried to appease her son with a smile, “It’s Chuxia’s first visit to our home, don’t scare her, okay?” “Am I the one scaring her?” Zhou Mikang coldly looked at Chuxia, “Lin Chuxia, you still haven’t answered my question. Don’t think everything is fine just because you moved over there!” After busily greeting everyone, Chuxia felt somewhat confused and imitated Zhou Xiangping by sticking her head out a bit, “What question?” “What do you think?” “I...” Chuxia struggled to recall and after a moment, suddenly slapped her forehead, “I remember now, you asked me knowing what’s going on, why I still dared to come, right?” “Hmph!” Chuxia, who was initially confident, was suddenly intimidated by Zhou Mikang’s “hmph” and the demeanor of the family around her, and she did not dare to continue the conversation. “What, you also want to sneak into my family?” “Huh?” Chuxia raised her head, looking puzzled, “What do you mean?” Zhou Mikang pulled up a stool and sat down, leisurely observing Chuxia, “You sit together with them, putting on the same expressions as them. Isn’t that because you also want to become a member of this family?” “Me?” Chuxia pointed at herself, “Become a member of your family?” Zhou Mikang didn’t speak, but his expression clearly agreed with Chuxia’s statement. Was it just a matter of where she was sitting? She had calmed down when she entered the house, but now why had she become as jittery as the rest of this family? Taking a deep breath, Chuxia stood up, “Regimental Commander Zhou, I appreciate the help you’ve given me, but please, don’t be so arrogant, I... I have no intention of becoming a member of your family!” “Not interested, then why do you seem so guilty?” “Who says I feel guilty?” Chuxia stepped forward, standing directly in front of Zhou Mikang, despite her legs trembling, she stood straight, “I’m definitely not guilty!” “Then answer my question.” Chuxia frowned; why was he so fixated on making her answer his question? Never mind, she was all in now. She also realized that this man definitely wouldn’t be swayed by either soft or hard tactics. Otherwise, why would the whole family be sitting there letting him lecture them? They let him lecture them, but it didn’t mean she was willing to be lectured by him. Of course, if she could continue working under him, she would just have to accept the lecturing. However, given the current situation, whether she could continue to work under him was still uncertain. Moreover, she also realized that even if she debased herself to curry favor, it probably wouldn’t make a difference. She didn’t regret coming with Zeng Meili. If he was determined to send her home, whether she came or not, the result would be the same. Initially, she felt that if her presence could resolve the conflicts within his family due to her, it would be best, but if not, serving as a scapegoat was also acceptable. It’s just about not being a soldier, right? As a modern individual from the 21st century, could she possibly starve to death in these times? — Hmm, starving is a minor issue, losing one’s virtue is major! She definitely did not want to be sent home in disgrace and trembling with fear! Closing her eyes and gritting her teeth..., Mikang, who had been staring at her, momentarily flashed a hint of a smile in his eyes, which swiftly disappeared. When she opened her eyes, she was met with an icy expression. “You’re upset because your family did everything to summon me here, right? But even though Aunt Lin issued a Special Summon Order, I am completely... Uncle?” Chuxia suddenly widened her eyes and stared blankly at Father Zhou. So the uncle who had caused her and Luo Xiaoqiong to be entangled for so long was actually Mikang’s dad? At this moment, she finally had a clearer picture. So, the instigator who revealed everything was Mikang’s dad? No wonder he didn’t even look up while responding to her earlier—guilty conscience, that’s why he dared not look up! “Hehe...” Zhou Jingping smiled stiffly and nodded at Chuxia. “Never mind him, keep talking,” Mikang urged. What’s the rush! Chuxia secretly grumbled inwardly and continued, “Xiaoqiong and I were chosen based on our own abilities, so, you cannot just send us back because your family has issued a Special Summon Order for us!” “Did I ever say I was going to send you back?” “You didn’t plan on it?” Chuxia, suddenly happy, forgot where she was and chuckled with curved eyes, “I knew it, Commander Zhou, you aren’t that petty. I was just misled.” “Cough!” Zeng Meili coughed forcefully. “What are you coughing for? Weren’t you the one who misled her?” Mikang frowned and stared at Zeng Meili, “When did I ever say I’d send her and Luo Xiaoqiong back? What exactly did you tell her?” “I... I just said I wasn’t sure about your intentions, nothing else,” Zeng Meili said weakly. “You...” Mikang turned to Chuxia, “You want to be sure of my intentions?” “No need, no need...” Chuxia rapidly waved her hands, “Don’t worry, I’m not that dim-witted. What’s there to be sure about? Even thinking with toes one would know, it’s obviously a misunderstanding by your family. At your age, most people have children already, right? So, your family worries about you, seeing you show a bit of concern for me, they misunderstood, sigh, from this perspective you are too much of a failure! Look, you scared your whole family; they are all your elders who genuinely care about you. Turning them fearful like this, don’t you think it’s a bit unfilial? Quickly find a girlfriend, and stop letting them have misunderstandings. Tell me, if you communicated openly with them, could such a huge joke have happened? Thinking about it, you couldn’t possibly fancy someone like me, yet your family misunderstood. Why is that? Don’t you think you should reflect on this... hehe... hehe...” The more Chuxia spoke, the more smoothly words flowed, but realizing Mikang’s increasingly darkening expression, she just realized what she was actually doing. Was she getting carried away after realizing she wasn’t going to be sent back home? A person feared by an entire family, was she someone to casually lecture? What should she do now? What if he became angry out of embarrassment and changed his mind to send her back home? Oh dear, what a blunder, a lesson for the future: no matter how pleased, never lose yourself! “Commander Zhou, you really have great charisma, so much so that I got carried away and spoke nonsense. Just pretend I didn’t say anything. If...if you really can’t calm down, feel free to hit me. Of course, you know my physical condition; maybe hold back a little when hitting, otherwise, if I accidentally die, it would still be trouble for you to arrange my funeral, and if I get injured, you’d have to arrange for someone to take care of me, that would be too embarrassing, hehe...” How had he never noticed how talkative she was before? Mikang’s mouth twitched slightly: “Are you done?” “All done, all done!” Chuxia nodded her head like a pecking chicken. “You’re done but I’m not.” “Oh, you speak, you speak, I’ll listen with all my attention.” Chuxia pointed to an empty space next to Zhou Xiangping, “I’ll sit over there and listen attentively to your guidance!” Mikang gestured for Zhou Xiangping to move the stool over and said, “Just sit here, now it’s for you to listen, why run so far away, how would I speak then?” Chuxia quietly moved her stool back a bit, and then a bit more, gauging that even if he got angry, he wouldn’t be able to kick her over, and then she settled down securely. Ignooring her small movements, Mikang asked, “Tell me, why am I so good to you?” “Ah?” Chuxia stared at him blankly, he was good to her? Where exactly? While she thought this internally, she didn’t dare say it out loud and tried to force a smile, “Because I’m pitiful.” “Huh...” Inhaling deeply, Mikang looked at her earnestly, “Hanliang told you about my younger sister, right? You don’t have to pretend. Do you think I treat you well because you remind me of my little sister?” (To be continued.
