Chapter 1792: Absolutely Unexpected

This matter had not only embarrassed the Zhai family, but even more so the Qiu family. After all, Qiu Chenxi had been birthed and raised by the Qiu family.

As such, after Qiu Chenxi’s divorce from Zhai Sheng, Qiu Qin had never once been promoted. Moreover, even the simplest of mistakes at work would cause him to be lectured harshly, especially by those people who disliked him who never once let a mistake go.

Before Qiu Chenxi had gotten a divorce from Zhai Sheng, Qiu Qin had never known that he was someone with ‘long hair’. Only after he lost his son-in-law, Zhai Sheng, did he realize that he had a long braid on his head that others always tugged on. It was excruciating.

Everything was Qiu Chenxi’s fault, so how could Qiu Qin not hate his daughter, Qiu Chenxi? Not only was his daughter unable to help him, but she even added on to his problems over the years as though he owed her something. Even now that he was retired, he was still unable to have his name up proudly in the department and retire gloriously like others had.

“All right, Chenxi didn’t mean for that to happen either.” Qi Minlan had mixed feelings about this. Perhaps it’s because her daughter had fulfilled the obsession she had had when she was young. Her daughter might have married Zhai Sheng and become the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family, but her daughter had only been the daughter-in-law of a chief, not the wife of a chief.

She could not understand why her daughter had ended up like this even after she had paved the way for her daughter. Sigh…

“Chenxi, you’re over forty years old now. You can’t keep up with this nonsense. What plan do you have for yourself? Do you really intend on doing this for the rest of your life?” Qi Minlan was worried sick about her daughter, Qiu Chenxi.

Qiu Chenxi started sobbing uncontrollably. “What’s the point of telling me all these now? Mom, why don’t you find my father-in-law and try to beg for forgiveness on my behalf? It’s true. I’m no longer the same person I was ten years ago. Even if Zhai Sheng treats me the same way that he did in the past, I’m sure that I’ll be able to handle the loneliness and not do something that wrongs Zhai Sheng again. People make mistakes, but I’ve changed for the better. Can they give me a chance?”

It had been over a decade. She had really had her fair share of fun over the span of a decade. Now, she truly had no desire to continue with this lifestyle. All she wanted was to live an honest life and have a family. Her demands were not excessive, so why couldn’t the Zhai family see that she had changed for the better? Why were they harping on the mistakes that she had made in the past?

Besides, if Zhai Sheng had treated her well when they had first gotten married, would she have found another man outside and gotten into an affair?

Throughout their marriage that lasted three years, Zhai Sheng spent all his time in the army and had never so much as touched her. She had been Zhai Sheng’s wife in name, but the couple had never consummated their marriage. Qiu Chenxi had refused to talk about such a humiliating thing before her divorce.

Zhai Sheng refused to touch her, making it seem as though she was so terrible that Zhai Sheng was trying to shun her. It was only when they reached the stage of getting a divorce that Qiu Chenxi finally revealed that she had not wanted to leave, but there was a sound reason for her getting into an affair. After all, Zhai Sheng had refused to touch her.

Everyone had been taken aback by Qiu Chenxi’s revelation. Because they were unwilling to lose such good in-laws, the Qiu family had wanted to salvage this marriage and hoped that the Zhai family would give Qiu Chenxi a second chance. They assured the Zhai family that this would never happen again.

But this time, the Zhai family refused to give Qiu Chenxi a second chance. A military spouse had to endure loneliness. There were indeed few spouses who had to endure three years like that, but it was not unheard of. Qiu Chenxi was definitely not the only one.

If every military spouse was like Qiu Chenxi and cheated on their husbands because their husbands left them for long periods of time, then there would be no military spouses at all. If she was not prepared to do so, then this woman was not worthy of being a military spouse.

In short, Zhai Sheng’s actions were not a good enough reason for Qiu Chenxi to have an affair. Qiu Chenxi’s affair would only be acceptable if the Zhai family agreed to this logic, but Miao Jing said straightforwardly that Qiu Chenxi could simply ask for a divorce if the couple did not have feelings for each other. After their divorce, Qiu Chenxi would then be able to find a man whom she really loved. That would be the Qiu family’s business.

It was wrong for Qiu Chenxi to have done such immoral acts before getting divorced. If Zhai Sheng wanted to get a divorce, there would be no room for any discussions. They simply had to get divorced. Of course, if Qiu Chenxi refused, then she would just have to go to jail. Was it that easy to ruin a military marriage?

“There’s no point in telling us that.” Qi Minlan grabbed a piece of tissue for Qiu Chenxi to dry her tears. “You have to let the Zhai family feel your remorse, especially Zhai Sheng. If they don’t accept it, your father and I can’t do anything about it either.”

“Mom, why don’t you just help me talk to my father-in-law?” She did not believe that it was impossible between Zhai Sheng and her. After so many years, Zhai Sheng had not remarried and neither had she.

Even if Zhai Sheng disliked her, her three-year marriage to Zhai Sheng proved that she was the only woman whom Zhai Sheng was willing to marry, so what was wrong with her being together with Zhai Sheng? She did not believe that her parents-in-law would prefer Zhai Sheng remain single for the rest of his life than let them reconcile.

It was obvious that the Zhai family had such an intention!

If she presented her sincerity and took the initiative to reconcile the relationship, the Zhai family would simply be too mean if they were to still reject her. As long as they did not go overboard with their actions, she would not fight back no matter how difficult the Zhai family made it for her. However, if the Zhai family still refused to allow her to reconcile with Zhai Sheng, she would have nothing else to say to that.

“What do you expect me to say?!” Qi Minlan flared up at the mention of that. Initially, Zhai Yaohui’s attitude toward her had been rather good, and she got the feeling that he was still reminiscing about their past together. After a while, Qi Minlan actually thought that this was the truth.

Every time she saw that Miao Jing was jealous of her and was displeased with her, yet had to tolerate her for Zhai Yaohui’s sake and hold her anger in, Qi Minlan felt proud and in high spirits. So what if Miao Jing had become the wife of a chief? Zhai Yaohui’s heart was still thinking of her! There was nothing that made Qi Minlan feel prouder than being able to evoke jealousy and pain in Miao Jing, who was the wife of a chief.

But ever since Qiu Chenxi had been caught red-handed and had divorced Zhai Sheng, something had happened between Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui. The couple’s relationship changed for the better and had improved significantly compared to when they had been younger. No one had expected this to happen.
