Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1501 - 992: Persistence / Seeking Help 4

"Okay." Since the other person said so, Chuxia couldn’t insist any further and readily agreed. To be honest, she really liked Fang Jingzi and didn’t wish for things between her and Lin Wenjie to end like this, so if she could help her, she was more than willing to.

"Third sister-in-law, I know how hard it is to wait. Let’s do this, I’ll call Third Brother right now and ask him about it. If he won’t tell me, I’ll ask Big Brother to find out for us, okay?"

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Jingzi nodded in agreement.

When Lin Wenjie received Chuxia’s call, he was very surprised.

He felt close to this younger cousin who had returned halfway through her life, but she always got along better with Big Brother. Although she was close to him and Fourth Brother too, she never voluntarily reached out before.

Chuxia didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked what she wanted to know.

Stunned for quite a while, Lin Wenjie finally muttered, "Did she come to find you?"

"Yes." Chuxia admitted frankly, "If it wasn’t really difficult for her, Third Sister-in-law wouldn’t have come to me. You can imagine how hard it is to ask something like this. If you really think of me as your sister, Third Brother, just tell me honestly, okay?"

"I..." Lin Wenjie hesitated and didn’t say anything for a long time.

"Third Brother, whatever the reason, please tell me. I’ve always respected you, Third Brother."

Lin Wenjie felt a bit defeated, realizing she was provoking him.

For this period, he had been very tormented, and he decided but didn’t dare to tell anyone, including his parents, because he knew they would definitely try to stop him once they found out.

As for his fiancée, he certainly understood her feelings and felt very sorry for her, but he hoped that if someday something happened, she would be less heartbroken because of her disappointment in him.

"Nothing’s wrong." He gritted his teeth and said to Chuxia.

"You can’t treat Third Sister-in-law like this if nothing’s wrong. Since you don’t trust me, Third Brother, I won’t press any further. I’ll call Big Brother later..."

"No, no, no..." Lin Wenjie hastily said, "Chuxia, don’t contact Big Brother, I beg you, alright?"

"Third Brother, I’m being forced here."

Lin Wenjie: "..."

"Third Brother, goodbye."

Before Lin Wenjie could react, the call was already disconnected. Startled, he rushed to dial his younger cousin back. If she really went to find Big Brother, all his efforts to keep things under wraps would be in vain!

After hanging up, Chuxia didn’t immediately call Lin Wenbin as she had said. A few seconds later, the loud ringtone went off, and a hint of a smile formed at the corners of her lips. She waited three seconds before answering the call, "Hello, how are you?"

"Chuxia, it’s me..." Lin Wenjie on the other end looked pained. Listening to her serious greeting, he was at a loss for words, knowing she was baiting him, but did it really have to be like this?

Fine, knowing that the other party was provoking him, he still had to take the bait. Now that’s truly frustrating...

...

Seeing Chuxia come out of the room, Fang Jingzi looked at her nervously yet expectantly. She had been a bit resistant to the relationship at first, as he was several years younger than her. She wasn’t sure if his feelings were genuine or just a passing fancy, but having been together for so long, she had inadvertently gotten deeply involved, otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to get engaged with him.

Now with this sudden change, she said that she would let go if he wanted to, but deep down, she was terribly afraid her suspicions would turn out to be true...

"Third Sister-in-law..." Chuxia sat beside Fang Jingzi, looking at her with soft eyes, "I can definitely tell you that Third Brother hasn’t changed his heart or fallen for someone else."

Relieved, Fang Jingzi asked, "And then?"

"And then..." Biting her lip, Chuxia turned serious, "If Third Brother is going to do something very dangerous, would you stop him or support him?"

Fang Jingzi straightened her posture unconsciously, "Is he... going to the frontline?"

Chuxia nodded, "Yes, but the Lin family members don’t know yet, so when I threatened him to tell Big Brother, he had to tell me the truth."

After a while of silence, Fang Jingzi asked, "Why does he want to do this?"

"He doesn’t want all the burdens to fall on Big Brother, and he doesn’t like the way Second Brother and Second Uncle handle things.

In order not to complicate the Lin family’s future voice too much, he said he must work hard. He also mentioned that making this decision was extremely difficult, but he hopes to shield you from the storms in the future, rather than have you worrying for him about everything."

"So, does it mean he’s actually bothered by me making decisions for him?"

"No, I specifically asked him if that was the reason, and he said it wasn’t. He just feels sorry for you and doesn’t want you to have a hard time because of him."

Sighing, Fang Jingzi said, "I don’t find it hard. I like this kind of feeling; it makes me feel useful, not like others say, being with him just for his background."

"Maybe there’s still a lack of communication between you two. Anyway, that’s what I found out. He also said he hopes you can forgive him and that he doesn’t want to contact you for now.

Of course, that’s what he said, as to how Third Sister-in-law decides to handle it, it’s naturally up to you..." Chuxia encouraged her by patting her hand, "Whatever your decision is, I’ll support it."

"Chuxia, please tell Third Aunt I’m sorry..." Fang Jingzi stood up, "I have to go find Lin Wenjie now, and please tell Jingyi that she should go home herself after eating."

"Sure." Chuxia gave her a playful smile, "I guess we’ll be tasting Third Brother’s and Third Sister-in-law’s wedding candies soon."

"I hope so." Fang Jingzi smiled at her and jogged out the door.

Once she left, Chuxia frowned; this wasn’t a small matter. Since she already knew, should she really keep it from Big Brother?

But... remembering her promise to Lin Wenjie, she hesitated...

After pondering for a while, she finally thought of a solution — what is the Division Commander Tongzi for, if not to be used? (To be continued.
