Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1925: Reminiscing

In spite of such a setback, Qiu Chenxi was unwilling to give up so easily. After getting remarried to Zhai Sheng, she would simply find a way to kick this caretaker as far as possible.

She had not crossed this river yet, and even then, Qiu Chenxi was already thinking of how to get rid of this bridge. “Sister, you’re also a woman. The Zhai family are prejudiced and don’t understand me, but I believe that you’ll understand me. I admit that I was insensible and did some foolish things when I was younger, but I know I’m wrong now. Even saints make mistakes. Why won’t they give me a chance to make amends? It’s true that I’ve changed for the better. Sister, will you help me? I really like—no, I really love Zhai Sheng. I’m the only daughter, and my family background is quite good as well. Apart from Zhai Sheng, I can always find other men to get married to, but they’re not Zhai Sheng. It was only after my divorce that I realized that I love only him. That’s why I want to get back together with him. Sister, will you help me?”

They were already talking about her affairs, but Qiu Chenxi was still reluctant to leave and was still addressing Qiao Nan as her sister. Qiao Nan frowned in frustration. “Miss Qiu, I’m really sorry. I won’t be able to help you with that. I’m an outsider in the Zhai family as well. What right do I have to speak up for you in front of the Zhai family?”

“You do. As long as you’re willing to do it, you do. Without you, Jiajia could very well have gone missing. She might even have gotten kidnapped! Jiajia is the Zhai family’s only child. As long as you’re willing to speak up for me, the Zhai family will definitely give you some face.” Otherwise, she would never spend so much effort talking to a caretaker.

No matter how much she looked down on Qiao Nan, Qiu Chenxi had put all her hopes in Qiao Nan. As such, there was no flattery that Qiu Chenxi would not resort to. Besides, the way Qiu Chenxi saw it, Qiao Nan did indeed have an influence on the Zhai family. It was just a matter of whether Qiao Nan was willing to help her.

Qiu Chenxi was shameless enough to make such a proposition, but Qiao Nan was not. She could not possibly ask the Zhai family to accept Qiu Chenxi, who had cheated on their family. As for whether there was indeed gender equality in this matter, Qiao Nan knew that she would never do such a thing.

Since she was unwilling to do it, Qiao Nan would never speak to Qiu Chenxi about such a matter that would only make her feel uneasy and uncomfortable. “Miss Qiu, I thought that you would understand what I meant. Whether I was there or not, or whether I found Jiajia or not, I would never ask the Zhai family for anything.”

The corners of Qiu Chenxi’s lips drooped down. “Do you mean that you’re not going to help me?” She had already put down her pride and humbled herself before Qiao Nan, but Qiao Nan still refused to help her! That was too much!

Qiu Chenxi’s expression changed immediately, and Qiao Nan lost her patience. “Why should I help you? Miss Qiu, you think too highly of yourself. We didn’t even know each other before today. It’s our first meeting and you’re asking for such a big favor of me. Miss Qiu, don’t you think that you’ve crossed the line?”

“It’s nothing much. You just have to open your mouth. It’s not that difficult.” Qiu Chenxi did not think that this would put Qiao Nan in the spot. How difficult could it be to just say something? How would Qiao Nan be embarrassed?

Qiao Nan smirked. It seemed as though Qiu Chenxi had had a much better life in reality as compared to in her dream. She seemed disconnected from the world. How could she think that asking such a huge favor of someone was no big deal at all? What could Qiao Nan do apart from laughing?

“Miss Qiu, if this matter can be settled so easily, would you still need a caretaker to resolve it for you? I think you’d better find someone else. I can’t help you.” If Qiu Chenxi insisted on saying such a thing, there was no point in Qiao Nan trying to reason it out with her since Qiu Chenxi would always think that she was right.

Qiu Chenxi was so enraged that she was rendered speechless. If anyone could solve this matter, would she have humbled herself and put her dignity aside to ask a mere caretaker for help?

Qiu Chenxi’s face darkened and her attitude became haughty. It was a complete transformation from her previous false kindness. She wrapped her arms around her chest and lifted up her chin. “Perhaps, I was being too naive, thinking that there are many good people in this world. I’m clearer than you about the Zhai family’s status. It’s true that it doesn’t seem right for you to gain nothing from helping me apart from me addressing you as my sister. I think we all understand each other here. You can just spit it out. Tell me. What do you want before you’re willing to help me?”

So, she was being so arrogant just because she had not offered any benefits? It was all right. She understood. There was nothing bad about clearing the air about this.

“...” Qiao Nan was at a loss for words. So, that was to say that Qiu Chenxi had not even intended to give her anything in exchange for her help, apart from addressing her as her sister? Should she laugh at Qiu Chenxi’s pettiness or her foolishness? “Since you’re in the position to make such an offer, I believe that you’re not short on people who can help you. I’m really sorry that I won’t join on in this.”

Yes, once this succeeded, Qiu Chenxi would once again become the chief’s wife. With that status, there would be people throwing themselves at Qiu Chenxi, who would be able to offer them countless benefits. Would the future chief’s wife really need a mere caretaker’s help? How ridiculous!

Qiao Nan was prepared to return Qiu Chenxi the things that she had brought. “Miss Qiu, it’s not early anymore. I still have things to take care of, so I won’t delay you any longer. Goodbye.” With that, Qiao Nan shut the door. She did not even spare another look at the things that Qiu Chenxi had placed at her door. action

“You...” Qiao Nan had actually shut the door in her face! The gall of her to do that! Qiu Chenxi was infuriated. “You’re all looking down on me because I’ve divorced Zhai Sheng, right? I’ll never let you trample on me. You won’t help me now? Fine. I’ll keep all of you in mind and get my revenge once I get back together with Zhai Sheng!”

She was so unpopular now that even a caretaker dared to slam the door in her face. Was it not just because she had gotten divorced from Zhai Sheng? She would remarry Zhai Sheng very soon. At that time, she would see how those people who looked down on her would react then.

The more setbacks she encountered, the more Qiu Chenxi reminisced about the times when she had still been married to Zhai Sheng and the three years that she had been the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law. In those three years, everyone had treated her so respectfully. Not a single person had dared to disrespect her, much less slam a door in her face!
