Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1185 - 782: Oddball

Chapter 783

"Chuxia, run!" Zhao Yulan urgently shouted to her daughter, "Your mom is fine. This young man won’t hurt me, listen to your mom, hurry!"

Having regained his senses, Qin Haotian listened to Zhao Yulan’s shouts and suddenly knelt down, his knees buckling genuinely: "Auntie, I just have a favor to ask of you, I have no intention of hurting you. I’m really not lying, of course, if you’re not reassured, feel free to hold onto me."

When he knelt down forcefully, Zhao Yulan thought he was trying to break free, so she held him tighter, but even then he still knelt down. Hearing what he said now, Zhao Yulan believed she really misunderstood.

But to be safe, she dared not let go of him, still gripping his arm tightly: "Child, us two not screaming for help is already giving you a chance, if you play tricks, you’re letting us down..."

Chuxia listened, overwhelmed by her mother’s rambling. If he were truly a thug, he wouldn’t listen to all this. However, thinking twice, it’s evident that her mom believed him already; this was just an extra precaution.

Chuxia saw Qin Haotian’s actions clearly just now and also believed he meant no harm. Otherwise, given his strength, her mother couldn’t possibly hold him back. She threw away the stone she was holding: "Mom, let him go, let him speak."

Zhao Yulan hesitated a little.

Qin Haotian simply plunked down on the ground: "Auntie, now don’t you believe me? Even if I had some intentions, it would take me a while to get up, right?"

"You could flip over and be up in no time." Zhao Yulan said this but still let him go, quickly walking to her daughter’s side to protectively stand behind her.

Chuxia reached out and grabbed her mother’s arm: "Mom, don’t worry, if he tries something, I can handle him. Your daughter, after all, has been trained, right?"

Qin Haotian said: "Why don’t you tie me up?"

Chuxia, becoming impatient, said: "Stop babbling, hurry and say what you need to. If your actions just now weren’t so dangerous, would we be so wary of you? Also, our countless encounters at school weren’t just a coincidence. The fact that we trust you now is extremely generous."

"My aunt is Qin Xiangyi..." Qin Haotian looked steadily at Chuxia, "You should remember her, right?"

"Mm." Chuxia nodded. Of course, she remembered. During Old Lady Jiang’s birthday party, Qin Xiangyi tried to make fun of her but ended up helping her instead. The angry look in Qin Xiangyi’s eyes is something she’d remember forever.

"I’m her nephew."

Chuxia looked speechless: "I can do the math myself, can we get to the point?"

"My dad’s name is Qin Xiangjiang, and he’s quite fond of my aunt. He treats my aunt’s matters as his own. To help my aunt, he indeed did some not-so-good things.

But those were all at my aunt’s instruction, you can’t blame my dad. Now that my aunt and uncle have divorced, my dad’s workplace terminated his job relationship.

I came to see you hoping you’d consider that my dad didn’t do anything to really harm you and give him a way out. Don’t say you can’t resolve this; my aunt already mentioned your status in the Zhou family. She said as long as you speak up, my dad’s job is assured.

If it weren’t for being at the end of my rope, I wouldn’t beg you like this. Actually, I deliberately crossed paths with you to talk about this, but there was always someone by your side, and I never had the chance to say it."

Chuxia looked at him calmly: "Where is your dad’s work relationship?"

"An inspector at the A City Tractor Factory," Qin Haotian replied.

She faintly heard footsteps behind her, shifted slightly, and saw it was her father. Her heart instantly calmed down. She had been thinking about how to smoothly get away.

Even though Qin Haotian seemingly meant no harm temporarily, who knows if he would do something extreme if she refused him?

Earlier, she had merely pretended to scare him by saying she had training. Her family knew her best; even if she weren’t pregnant, she wouldn’t stand a chance against Qin Haotian, let alone be unable to fight now.

"Why are you out so long today? Who’s this?" Lin Baohe looked at Qin Haotian sitting on the ground, puzzled. Why would someone do this in freezing winter unless their mind was off?

"My mother-in-law’s rival’s brother’s son." Chuxia straightforwardly told Lin Baohe Qin Haotian’s identity. Otherwise, her dad might help him up, and she couldn’t take chances. The look of disdain in Qin Haotian’s eyes when they first met was unmistakably clear to her.

He also just said that asking her for help was a last resort. From the look in his eyes at the time, he was probably blaming everything on her, or perhaps it was something his aunt said.

However, if that’s the case, this man is truly despicable. Just now, he told her directly that it was his aunt who forced his father to act, clearly not approving of his aunt himself.

Anyway, no matter what’s going on, Qin Haotian is already a confirmed jerk in Chuxia’s mind.

Lin Baohe, being so protective of his daughter, immediately stood guard in front of his wife and daughter upon hearing this: "What does he want to do? Why didn’t you two call for help earlier?"

"I was thinking that if we wrongly accused the kid, it wouldn’t be good." Zhao Yulan explained the situation to her husband in detail, and as she finished speaking, Lin Baohe waved his hands at his wife and daughter, "What are you still standing here for? Get home quickly, it’s such a cold day, aren’t you worried about your health? You as a mother aren’t sensible either, not just the child!"

Listening to her father’s scolding, Chuxia inexplicably wanted to laugh; while feeling a warm glow in her heart. Her father was worried about them and didn’t want to unjustly blame Qin Haotian, so he deliberately used this method. But how could she just leave her father there?

"Dad, let me talk to him..." Chuxia took a step forward, grabbed Lin Baohe’s arm, and whined playfully, "I’ll be fine. Stay with me, okay?"

"What’s there to talk about?" Lin Baohe frowned, "It’s not your fault. His aunt made a mistake and ended up like this. Who’s to blame? If his father was competent and good at his job, would they have let him go?"

"Uncle, if there were any other way, I wouldn’t be begging you guys like this, especially..." Qin Haotian stood up, a trace of embarrassment and anger on his face, "Especially since I’m also a university student!"

"So what if you’re a university student?" Lin Baohe snorted, "Does being a university student make you superior? Besides, when your mom tried to humiliate my daughter, why didn’t she think about being an elder at all?"

"What do I have to do for you to help?" Qin Haotian asked, looking at Chuxia.

"Tell me first what your last resort is."

Not being immediately rejected, Qin Haotian visibly perked up: "After my aunt divorced, she moved into our home, saying she used to take care of us, and now it’s our turn to care for her.

My dad and mom thought she had been kind and felt sorry for her current situation, so they agreed to let her stay. But soon after, my dad lost his job, my mom’s health declined, and my grandparents fell ill. Our family really couldn’t make ends meet.

I’ve been dating someone for two years, originally planning to get married this New Year. But after learning my dad lost his job, her parents opposed the marriage this year, saying to wait until we graduate.

She also applied to our school, and recently got particularly close to a male classmate. When I asked her, she said I was overthinking. I knew then, if this goes on, she’ll soon be someone else’s bride.

All our neighbors and relatives know about us, and if things end like this, I’ll truly have no face to return home. Our family was once envied by others, but if things continue like this, we might really face total ruin.

I don’t want to end up alone when I graduate. Lin Chuxia, if you help my dad, you’re essentially saving our entire family. My aunt won’t create problems for your family again, and I’ll be grateful to you forever."

After hearing Qin Haotian’s explanation, Chuxia felt this was an extremely self-centered man who blamed all problems on others, as if it was only natural for others to help him, and for them to immediately forgive him for any harm.

"That’s your reason?" Giving him a brief look, Chuxia turned to leave, "Dad, Mom, let’s go home!"

"You..." Qin Haotian’s face turned red with anger, veins bulging in his hand. Since childhood, no one had dared to look down on him like this. Oh, perhaps that’s not true; before last year, no one dare belittle him, but now...

Were it not for his extraordinary talent in academics, he would probably end up like his father, being a worthless drifter. In his opinion, as a university student, he would definitely be able to repay the favor to the Zhou family after graduation. The reason he approached Lin Chuxia was that it seemed easiest to reach her. Who would’ve thought, this woman could be so heartless!

"Chuxia, let mom accompany you to school tomorrow." Zhao Yulan suggested worriedly, glancing back at Qin Haotian still standing there.

Chuxia shook her head, seeing her mom anxious to say something, she quickly interjected, "I’ll call Zhou Mikang right away and ask him to arrange it."

Lin Baohe immediately agreed, "Yes, let Xiaomi arrange it, it’s safer. It’s ultimately inconvenient for you to follow her, what would her classmates think?"

Zhao Yulan glared at her husband, unconvinced, "I don’t care what others think, I just want my daughter to be safe and sound. Is face more important than life?"

"Mom, you’re overthinking." Chuxia laughed at her, "Qin Haotian doesn’t have the guts. If I weren’t being cautious, I wouldn’t even bother notifying Zhou Mikang." (To be continued.
