Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1583: Chapter 1044: Refusal

"Sorry, I can’t help you..." After thinking for a moment, Zhou Nanping rejected Fang Xiang’s request. Not to mention that she has nothing to do with Fang Tao anymore, even when they were not divorced, it was inappropriate for her to intervene in such matters. The Fang family has elders, what right does she have to take their place?

To put it bluntly, it was all about using her Zhou family background to bolster their image. She herself has a pile of unresolved issues; how does she have the time to deal with Fang Xiang’s affairs?

"Sister Nan..." Fang Xiang clung to Zhou Nanping’s sleeve pitifully, "If it weren’t absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t trouble you like this.

You know what my parents and grandparents are like. Given our family’s current situation, if they find out I’ve found a husband’s family in the Capital City, they’ll definitely make outrageous demands, and might even come over and refuse to leave.

Besides, didn’t you come to Capital City to avoid them? If they come over, won’t they come to you and ask you to remarry my brother? When that time comes, will you have to hide back in City A?

Sister-in-law, for the sake of our past relationship as in-laws, for the sake of our shared interests, help me this once, okay?"

"Threatening me?" Zhou Nanping looked at the little sister-in-law with an expression of disbelief, "Are you in your right mind? Fang Tao and I are already divorced, what right do your parents have to demand anything from me?

As for me coming to Capital City, it’s just that I wanted a change of environment, a change of mood. If they still trouble me, don’t blame me for being rude.

Before, I might have just been saying things, but now I’ve backed down to this point, if they dare to cross my line again, they’ll have to bear the consequences themselves!"

"Sister Nan, how dare I threaten you?" Seeing that Zhou Nanping was truly angry, Fang Xiang quickly explained, "I’m just telling you the facts.

Indeed, they have no right to demand anything from you now, but, after all, you were once family, and you’re soft-hearted. If they really come to you, could you have the heart to kick them out?"

"Why wouldn’t I?" Zhou Nanping looked at Fang Xiang indifferently, "You used to have leverage over me because I liked Fang Tao. Now the sight of him disgusts me, so please, stop with the same old tricks, okay?

Moreover, Fang Xiang, between the two of us it was never a family relationship. When I married into your family, you made things difficult for me every step of the way. Now trying to play the family card with me, do you find that meaningful?"

"Sister Nan, you know what kind of person I am. It’s precisely because I treated you as family that I interacted with you that way, I didn’t expect you to misunderstand me like this, ah..."

With a disappointed sigh, Fang Xiang frowned looking at Zhou Nanping, "Have you forgotten about me dealing with Chuxia for you? Do you think she’s allowing you to stay here because she really accepts you? If you ask me, she’s just waiting to put you in your place!

If you help me, at least you’ll have an ally here in the future, it’s literally a win-win situation, what’s there for you to hesitate about?

The key is, I’m only asking you to attend as family, not asking you to give me a dowry or a red envelope. You’re just going there for a meal, is that so hard? Do you have to blow this out of proportion?"

"I think it’s you who are blowing things out of proportion here?"

Following the voice, Fang Xiang’s face suddenly burned, and she quickly plastered on a smile, but before she could speak, Zhou Nanping interrupted first: "Third sister-in-law, when did you come? I didn’t hear a thing!"

"I just got here, but..." Chuxia glanced at Fang Xiang indifferently, "But the intention of this Miss Fang here is already quite clear..."

Fang Xiang hastily explained: "Comrade Lin, you’ve misunderstood, I really had no intention of offending. I just want my sister-in-law to help out with a meal.

As for my slightly intense attitude, it’s because I’ve always seen her as family, and being rejected was a blow to my pride. Honestly, I regretted it as soon as the words left my mouth, really!"

"There’s no need to explain to me..." Chuxia said as she started to walk further into the courtyard. Zhou Nanping quickly turned around and followed her, and just as Fang Xiang was about to follow, two burly men blocked her way.

"What... what do you want..." Fang Xiang demanded, trying to appear fierce but inwardly frightened.

"This is a private residence, please stay away. If you keep loitering around here, don’t blame us for being unkind."

"But... my sister-in-law lives inside!"
