Chapter 556: This Is Just Fine

Lin Chuxia smiled faintly, "Mr. Yu, you’re too polite. We have received your gratitude, and I support my husband’s decision."

In her past life, Yu Manwen was her business benefactor. Without her help, the crisis would have squandered all her previous efforts, and there would have been no subsequent success.

Originally, she hadn’t considered taking the path of the He Family; it was Li Guangyuan who knew she had saved a child from the He Family and reached out to Yu Manwen behind her back.

Though Yu Manwen hadn’t found He Xing’s true savior, she was grateful for Lin Chuxia’s effort to save and, upon learning about their predicament, went to great lengths to assist them.

In her past life, Lin Chuxia was grateful for Yu Manwen’s help, yet she knew she was a despicable thief.

He Xing’s real savior wasn’t her, but she enjoyed all the rewards from the He Family.

This life... it’s just fine like this.

Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang returned home, and neither mentioned the matter again.

Lin Chuxia had developed a habit of taking an afternoon nap. After having lunch at her master’s place, she planned to nap at home, but the delay had left her yawning non-stop.

Qin Yang laid the bed for her as soon as they got home and urged her to take a nap.

Lin Chuxia didn’t fuss, lying on the bed, and soon drifted into sleep.

When she woke up, the sky outside was tinted red—it was already dusk.

She was still worried about the matter, hurriedly got up from bed, and upon hearing Qin Yang coming in from outside, she muttered softly, "Why didn’t you wake me? We agreed to visit Sister-in-law Gong."

She hadn’t visited Sister-in-law Gong, who had saved her in the fall, although everyone said it was okay; she wouldn’t be at ease until she saw her in person.

At this moment, Lin Chuxia could somewhat understand the mindset of the He Family.

Qin Yang handed her a coat and comforted her, "No need to rush, it’s just a few steps. Minister Wei probably just got off work too."

"Are the things still in the car?"

When they went to buy things at Old Master He’s place in the morning, they also bought some for Sister-in-law Gong.

"I brought them inside; we can just carry them directly," replied Qin Yang.

Lin Chuxia nodded, dressed, and went outside to wash her face.

She fiddled with her big curls in front of the mirror and asked Qin Yang, "Should I cut my hair a bit shorter?"

Since becoming pregnant, she had indeed been lazier. When not going out, taking care of her curly hair daily seemed a bit too tedious.

Recently, she had often kept it tied at the back.

Qin Yang took the hair tie from her hand and gathered her long hair at the back, "This looks perfect."

Lin Chuxia wrinkled her small nose at the man in the mirror.

She had noticed that asking Qin Yang for any opinion was pointless. She couldn’t tell if his aesthetic was just like this or if everything about her seemed fine to him.

Whenever she asked for his opinion, he was always agreeable and affirming.

If Lin Chuxia didn’t know him, she’d really think he was just placating her.

After tidying up and carrying the things, the two headed to Sister-in-law Gong’s house and indeed met Minister Wei returning from work halfway.

Before they finished exchanging pleasantries, another person with items walked over from the family apartment in the direction of Minister Wei’s house.

Minister Wei’s house was in the last row, almost parallel to the family apartment’s entrance; the group’s position was still a bit distant from there, but Lin Chuxia recognized the person—it was Sister-in-law Feng.

Minister Wei also recognized the person, furrowing his brows slightly.

The incident involving Sister-in-law Gong and Lin Chuxia’s fall spread throughout the family courtyard. Everyone knew Sister-in-law Gong was not in good health, and her fall required some recovery time.

Furthermore, given Minister Wei’s status, there were likely many visiting Sister-in-law Gong to check on her today.

Lin Chuxia visiting Sister-in-law Gong was understandable; being pregnant and having fallen herself, she naturally had to prioritize her own health today.

But Sister-in-law Feng, the culprit, only coming now, was a bit unreasonable.

Minister Wei quickened his pace.

As he explained to the two behind him, "It’s that your sister-in-law doesn’t want to go to the hospital, worried about the hassle with too many visitors at home, which would prevent her from resting properly."

"No matter what, health must come first," Lin Chuxia agreed.

Upon reaching the Wei Family’s home, they heard Sister-in-law Feng’s voice before entering.

"You must talk to Minister Gong. This matter can’t really blame our Jingjing. Sure, a child riding a bicycle isn’t completely controlled, but I was following from behind. Even without dodging, it wouldn’t hit Mrs. Qin, and honestly, she is too timid. Everyone knows she’s been married for several years and it’s tough for her to carry this pregnancy—she ought to cherish it. But the bicycle didn’t even touch her, and she was so scared she fell, making us look bad inside and out, and dragged Sister-in-law Gong down with her as a buffer. If she’s that timid, she shouldn’t come out; the roads are for everyone—you can’t prevent others from passing."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang’s face instantly darkened.

Lin Chuxia, at his side, gently squeezed his hand and shook her head at him.

Minister Wei’s face also darkened, and Sister-in-law Gong’s gentle voice emerged from inside.

"Pregnancy and childbirth are always significant matters. As women, we should understand how hard it is for other women. I’m fine and didn’t blame you. I willingly helped Lin. Old Wei certainly won’t trouble anyone over this matter. You can go back, and don’t give your child a hard time either. Almost hitting someone would have scared the child too."

"Ah, Sister, I knew you were the kindest. My Da Jun has been blaming me these past few days. Only you truly understand me. I specifically went to the market and bought these free-range eggs. Quite a few dollars for this basket. You should eat them without holding back. With your health, you need to eat well, and Minister Wei and your Wei Bing earn money, don’t they?"

"We have plenty at home; take them back for the child to eat. My family is small; too much stuff would spoil."

"No, no, I won’t take them back. If I did, my Da Jun would scold me again. Enjoy them; I’m off."

"Hey, take them back..."

Sister-in-law Gong wanted to say more, but Sister-in-law Feng left the basket and walked out. On her way out, she encountered Minister Wei and his group.

Seeing Lin Chuxia behind Minister Wei, Sister-in-law Feng’s expression shifted slightly but quickly put on a smile, "Minister Wei, I’ve come on behalf of our Da Jun to see Sister-in-law Gong. Yesterday’s incident had our Da Jun worried for her, it kept him up all night, urging me to come early to check on her."

Minister Wei nodded slightly.

After Sister-in-law Feng said this, she glanced at Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia behind Minister Wei and quickly ducked her head and left.
