Chapter 1079: Chapter 1073 – Overbearing Family_1 Chapter 1079: Chapter 1073 – Overbearing Family_1 “So, that’s how it is. It really gave me a scare, thinking our business could be breaching principles.” Ouyang Ziyu patted her chest as she spoke, emphasizing that her family couldn’t bear the disgrace such an action would bring. They ought to be upright and honest in all their affairs. They would never indulge in acts that went against their family principles.

If Qin Xue knew about her thoughts, she would probably say that she was oversimplifying matters. Many people in the world didn’t think so straightforwardly. Like herself, she was in business but had started it before becoming a doctor. Thus, she never said it was an absolute no-no. She just asked others to help with the business’s legal aspects while she was the actual person in charge. Once she no longer practiced medicine, the business would return to her hands.

“Don’t worry, I understand. It’s the same for us, husband and wife. We also know about these things, so you need not worry. Aren’t your family worried about you being here with us? After all, it’s only been a few days.” Qin Xue asked Ouyang Ziyu.

“Did you notice Qing Zhu and the two soldiers who just left? They’re going to report the situation here to my family. Did you think they wouldn’t care where I am? That’s wishful thinking. They must know clearly where I am; otherwise, they’d confine me at home and not allow me to go anywhere. They are too authoritarian, leaving me with no freedom. Nothing like the freedom you enjoy.” Ouyang Ziyu said dejectedly after hearing Qin Xue’s words.

“Oh, I see. No wonder they could be so relaxed. They have people keeping an eye on you and reporting. It’s merely because they’re worried about your safety. Although you’re a doctor by title, you’re not really capable of self-defense after all. It’s natural for them to worry about you.” Qin Xue said to Ouyang Ziyu. If they weren’t worried about her, would she think her family didn’t love her?

“Who says I can’t protect myself? Every child born into our family undergoes training since they’re young. While others have happy childhoods, all we have is training, formal training. When we were young, our family members trained us. As we grew older, we were sent to the army during the holidays to train alongside soldiers. We had no freedom at all. They’re merely authoritarian, wanting us to live according to their wishes.” Ouyang Ziyu spoke with tears brimming in her eyes.

“Wow, that’s so tough. Is that true?” Qin Xue responded to Ouyang Ziyu, but her gaze and tone were directed at Chu Molin.

Seeing his wife ask this question, Chu Molin nodded. Children of influential families indeed live like this. He enjoyed a few years of beautiful childhood only because he had lived in the countryside with his mother. After he returned to the big family compound, he also lived the life Ouyang Ziyu described.

Qin Xue gasped at Chu Molin’s nod. She always thought the portrayals on TV were fake, so this was quite a revelation.

“Alright, they do this for your own good. After all, they don’t want the proverbial ‘tipless spears’ in their family.” Qin Xue comforted Ouyang Ziyu.

“Hmm, I’ve survived all these years and don’t care anymore. If they want to know my whereabouts, let them send someone to investigate. I refuse to confine myself at home like I did when I was young, unable to do anything.” As a child, Ouyang Ziyu was often grounded for wrongdoings, a punishment she dreaded.

“Alright, don’t think about it anymore. I’ll go make some chicken soup for Qing Zhu. Will you stay here with her or come home with me to take a breather?” Qin Xue asked Ouyang Ziyu.

“I’ll come with you. After visiting your home, I can return here.” Ouyang Ziyu agreed immediately upon hearing Qin Xue’s words.

“Alright, I’ll go let Qing Zhu know, and then we’ll go home together.” Qin Xue said, looking at her.
