Chapter 1663 - 1086: Confession
"This is a matter between you and Wang Meifeng, you don’t need to explain it to me..." Chuxia smiled at Lin Chuxia, who looked awkward, "Honestly, sitting together and talking like this does feel a bit awkward."
"Yeah, I feel quite awkward too. Calling your name feels like calling myself, but not addressing you seems impolite..." Lin Chuxia scratched her head uneasily, "However, I’m lucky to share a name with you; otherwise, I wouldn’t have the life I have today."
"Are your parents doing well?" Chuxia diverted the topic, although she was curious by nature, it didn’t mean she was curious about everyone’s affairs. With this Lin Chuxia, they were just acquaintances; she didn’t want to meddle in her matters.
"Ah?" Lin Chuxia hesitated for a moment before realizing Chuxia was asking about her parents, she quickly replied, "They’re doing very well and are extremely grateful to you. If they knew I met you today, they would be ecstatic."
"Don’t be so formal, your popularity with Great Aunt’s family is purely due to your own efforts. My help back then was just a convenient gesture, so don’t dwell on it."
"I..." Lin Chuxia hesitated and looked earnestly at Chuxia, "I still want to talk to you about Loo Ping, could you listen?"
Since she put it that way, could Chuxia say no? Helplessly, she nodded: "Alright, tell me."
"I got to know Loo Ping while delivering lunch to Big Brother Qiao. That day, Big Brother Qiao was working overtime at noon, and Great Aunt asked me to deliver lunch to him. As it was my first time, I couldn’t find his office door, so I asked around.
The person I asked happened to be Loo Ping; his office was opposite Big Brother Qiao’s. When I was leaving, he offered to accompany me. I said I knew the way and didn’t need to be accompanied, but he insisted and escorted me to the door.
A girl my age pretending not to know what such gestures from a young man means is purely playing dumb, and I am indeed at the age to find a boyfriend, so I didn’t refuse his advances.
But when I found out his father is the county mayor, I immediately backed off. Yao Xinshan even disliked me when he was just a regular worker, much less someone like Loo Ping?
Afraid he misunderstood my identity, I honestly told him I am just a nanny for the Qiao Family, and socially, we aren’t compatible. He said he didn’t mind and treated me the same as before.
Of course, I couldn’t believe such words. Even if he didn’t mind, his family surely would, and I didn’t want to marry into a family where I’d be constantly criticized.
Honestly, for me, I only wish to find someone of similar standing who would care for me; I’m not afraid of hardships, I fear the cold indifference from elders due to social mismatches.
It was during this time Wang Meifeng approached me, asked me to keep away from Loo Ping, saying she met him first. Considering you once helped me, I felt obliged to let her have him.
I told her that if she liked Loo Ping, she should pursue him; I hadn’t planned on being with Loo Ping anyway, talking to me was pointless.
What I didn’t expect was that Loo Ping actually came to my house, bought many things for my parents and siblings, and even helped them with farm work, just so they would accept him as a son-in-law of the Lin Family.
My parents, overjoyed at such unexpected fortune, wholeheartedly approved, even traveled to the county to praise Loo Ping’s virtues to me, saying they had already accepted him, and urged me not to trouble him anymore.
His actions surprised me; I sought him out to ask what he saw in a rural girl like me. He said he was drawn to my personality; as for status, it was merely peripheral and shouldn’t matter.
He further added that things decided at birth are the least meaningful, what he aims to do is achieve his desires using his own abilities, and he hopes I could also, through my efforts, attain what I desire.
So, I agreed to date him for a while, after all, I’m not young anymore, and if he truly was the right one for me, I didn’t want to miss it.
Anyway, everything I have today is because of you, and Wang Meifeng is indeed your cousin, hence I must clarify this matter, I truly wasn’t intentionally playing tricks on her."
