Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1570 - 1037: Unexpected

Lin Yanqiu’s mood is something Zhao Yulan can understand. If she were to honestly ask herself, she knows that this situation would also be hard to accept if it happened to her. However, no matter what, it is necessary to let go.

No matter what faults Jianwen’s adoptive parents may have, the kindness and care of raising him over these twenty-plus years are undeniably real, and Jianwen’s feelings for his adoptive parents are just as genuine.

If Lin Yanqiu’s involvement were to cause any disruption with Jianwen’s adoptive parents, Jianwen might not only refuse to acknowledge Lin Yanqiu but might even resent her for life!

Thus, Zhao Yulan can only continue to persuade her patiently: "Sister-in-law, the main reason you’re feeling so anxious right now is your concern for Xiaomi. Think back to the things he did before—many of them were more dangerous than what he’s doing now, weren’t they? Yet hasn’t he always come back safe and sound?

Moreover, your husband also said that Xiaomi has not been in touch with the family because circumstances do not allow it. Once he finds the right opportunity, he will definitely call home as soon as possible.

As for Jianwen, sister-in-law, I can imagine your feelings and guilt towards him. However, if you really show a flaw that affects his parents’ emotions, you’d truly become enemies with him—you don’t want that, do you?"

"Precisely because I understand this, I feel particularly painful inside. In the past, I didn’t know, but now..." Lin Yanqiu sighed heavily and forced a bitter smile, "Now that I know where he is, pretending that nothing happened is absolutely impossible for me.

Yulan, don’t worry. No matter how much I can’t let go, I won’t do anything foolish. If I really can’t help it, I’ll just take a look at him from afar."

The words have come to this point, and Zhao Yulan doesn’t know how to continue persuading her. She just looks at Lin Yanqiu with a face full of concern and sighs: "Sister-in-law, you really are burdening yourself, sigh..."

"There’s no way around it. They’re all part of my flesh, whether they grew up with me or not. Truly letting go is absolutely impossible.

Over the years, I may not have spoken of it to others, but behind closed doors, I don’t know how many tears I’ve shed. However, even though I’m worried and uncomfortable, I’m no longer as anxious as before.

The Zhu family treats him like a treasure. Truthfully, he’s not endured as much hardship as Xiaomi has..." With another sigh, Lin Yanqiu smiles helplessly to herself, "Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I’ll slowly adjust."

Zhao Yulan laughs: "All mothers are like this, but it puts my mind at ease that you’re thinking this way, sister-in-law. I believe it won’t take long for you to feel better."

"Yes, all mothers are like this..." Lin Yanqiu looks seriously at Zhao Yulan and says, "Yulan, thank you. Talking with you this much makes me feel much better."

"Sister-in-law, aren’t you being too formal?" Zhao Yulan feigns discontent and glares at her, "Family doesn’t stand on ceremony. When I need support, you require this from me. When it’s on your side, how is it any different?"

"Okay, okay, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, can’t you forgive me..." Lin Yanqiu stands up as she speaks, "Let’s go check on Xia. The kid must be worried."

Chuxia had just lulled Beibei and Nannan to sleep. She looks up to see Lin Yanqiu and Zhao Yulan entering one after the other and smiles: "Mom, Aunt, you came at just the right time. Are you here to escape the noise?"

"What are you saying? I wish they’d come and make noise..." Lin Yanqiu strides over to the small bed, glancing at the two little ones sleeping there. Her eyes quickly fill with a gentle smile, "These little rascals change day by day. Looking at their faces, they’ll definitely be better looking than their dad when they grow up. When that happens, Xia will have to entertain little girls!"

"Mom, aren’t you worrying too soon?" Chuxia looks at her mother-in-law with exasperation, but inwardly feels much lighter. Being able to joke means the mood isn’t so heavy anymore. It seems her mother is still very impressive; thinking this, she gives Zhao Yulan a grateful glance, to which Zhao Yulan responds with a smiling nod...

Noticing the little interaction between the mother and daughter, Lin Yanqiu says with a smile: "Xia, don’t worry about me. What you’re seeing in me now is just the result of suddenly receiving news and being unable to let go. Really, after some time, I’ll naturally be fine."

"Mom, I know..." Chuxia nods seriously, "Mom has been through so much, and her ability to self-adjust must be exceptional. I absolutely believe in you."

Lin Yanqiu shakes her head with amusement and looks toward Zhao Yulan: "Did you hear that? This kid is obviously trying to prod me, haha..."

...

In the following days, Lin Yanqiu’s mood truly improved. She spent her days with Zhao Yulan, taking care of Beibei and Nannan, occasionally meeting old friends from the Capital City. Her days were both pleasant and leisurely.
