Chapter 1578: Chapter 1041: Still Worrying
"Yes, yes..." Zhou Xiangping also realized that his previous words were quite irresponsible. If Zhou Nanping said she had let go but still couldn’t let go deep down, happiness would be impossible!
"Second sister, fourth sister, I understand and won’t rely on you..." Zhou Nanping smiled bitterly at the two, "It seems my impression in your heart is quite bad."
Zhou Xiangping smiled awkwardly, "It’s not like that. We’re just worried that you might not overcome this in a short time. Actually, from this aspect, you’re someone who values emotions and is persistent. As long as you truly figure it out, you can definitely be happy, and uncle and aunt will be proud of you."
"Third sister-in-law, thank you..." Zhou Nanping looked at Chuxia, sincerely thanking her, "If not for third sister-in-law’s generosity, second sister and fourth sister definitely wouldn’t have brought me over to talk like this."
"Here we go again..." Chuxia rolled her eyes reluctantly, "It’s hypocritical to keep saying that, I don’t want to repeat what I’ve said before."
"Alright, I won’t say such things again, but I promise to third sister-in-law, second sister, and fourth sister to resolve the matters between Fang Tao and me as quickly as possible, to take good care of my parents, to live positively, and not to let them worry about me anymore!"
"That’s the spirit." Zhou Jiping affectionately held her hand, saying, "I’ve actually always hoped the children in our family could be united, and to see this result now is fantastic!"
"If only Zhou Zhongkang and Zhou Aiping could understand too..." Zhou Xiangping sighed, "There’s something that uncle hasn’t shared with the family, but Liao Hui happened to encounter it.
Uncle went to see Zhou Aiping, and Zhou Aiping pretended not to recognize him. No matter what uncle said, she refused to acknowledge herself as Zhou Aiping. Even when uncle mentioned Yingying, she had no reaction. It seems she’s not coming back."
"When did this happen?" Zhou Jiping looked at her sister in surprise, "How did Liao Hui come across it?"
"About a week ago. Liao Hui was attending a cadre exchange, and just happened to be in the town where Zhou Aiping lives. Then, while he was out strolling, he saw uncle with Zhou Aiping.
To avoid embarrassing uncle, he didn’t show up in front of him, and after much hesitation when he returned, he told me. He said to find an appropriate time to talk to the family, as uncle seemed quite regretful."
"Is the family supposed to plead with Zhou Aiping to come back?" Zhou Jiping snorted coldly, "If at this point she still wrongly blames the family, then it doesn’t matter whether she comes back or not."
"That’s how I see it too, but uncle is her biological father, especially after divorcing aunt. He feels guilty towards her, even if disappointed by her actions, he still can’t truly leave her alone there.
I discussed this with Liao Hui as well, and we both agree that this situation is unsolvable for now. Not to mention the elders, even the younger generation won’t beg her to come back.
With her personality, if we gave her a step down, she’d arrogantly act like Taishang Huang, and someone who can ignore her own daughter doesn’t deserve us considering her!
As a daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, Chuxia wouldn’t weigh in on such topics. Regardless of how bad Zhou Aiping might be, or how much she disliked her, she shouldn’t get involved in this issue. Hence, even if the sisters spoke indignantly, she remained silent.
Zhou Nanping felt awkward adding her voice to this because of her previous mishaps.
The two sisters ceased their conversation suddenly, exchanged glances, then looked at Chuxia and Zhou Nanping, smiling helplessly: "You two, why so cautious?"
Zhou Nanping chuckled self-consciously: "It’s not caution, it’s about lacking qualification to speak."
"Same here."
"Same here? How come you aren’t qualified?" Zhou Xiangping asked, speechless, looking at her third sister-in-law.
Chuxia shrugged: "Because my last name is Lin."
"Are you really only eighteen years old?" Zhou Jiping couldn’t help but hold her forehead, "Sometimes, I feel your wisdom nearly matches Grandpa’s."
"Really?" Chuxia’s eyes widened with delight, "Second sister, please don’t deceive, I might take it seriously. If misled, you will be responsible!"
Zhou Jiping: "..."
...
That night, Zhou Nanping didn’t rush back to the Fang Family. The next morning, accompanied by Liang Xiaohong, she directly proposed divorce to Fang Tao.
In the past few months, Fang Tao had been unwilling to even look at Zhou Nanping. Due to her clinginess, he almost hated her. Upon suddenly hearing he was about to be freed, he was incredulous.
