beating around the bush will only backfire on her…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Chuxia’s feelings were a mix of pain and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, she felt awkward and resentful, and on the other, deeply touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, he had listened to her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had been willful on their ride and ignored her, he truly took her words to heart and respected her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By insisting on this in front of the entire family, he clearly showed that her place in his heart was significant, that their marriage wasn’t just for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was, in effect, telling everyone that to disrespect her was to disrespect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his position in the Zhou family, could she possibly strut around in the Zhou household in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuxia silently loathed her own thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When comparing hearts, had she shown him the same respect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would get upset with him for being inconsiderate, considering their marriage loveless and deciding to just be courteous with him in the future…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the guiltier she felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While pondering how to excuse herself without causing him to lose face and still give the Zhou elders a way out, she heard Lin Yanqiu speak up: “Mom, Chuxia is now a daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, part of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be good for her to know about this issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Madam Zhou then turned her gaze to Chuxia: “Listen well, if you attend the Zhou family meeting, you and Mikang’s marriage won’t allow for even the slightest retreat on your part.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had she ever wanted to retreat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right, how could Old Madam Zhou not see that she was still a virgin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Old Madam Zhou’s mind, she was probably leaving herself a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering everyone’s attitude, she had the foreboding that the Zhou family must be facing some serious problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she could not be considered a paragon of virtue, Zhou Mikang had not treated her poorly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she do anything to dishonor him at a time like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at Zhou Mikang: “I am willing to join you at the family meeting.” This was her clear way of telling him, whatever the issue, she was ready to share the burden!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang pulled her without a word and seated her to the left of Zhou Jingping and Lin Yanqiu, while Zhou Xikang and Yu Tao sat to their right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Jiping and Zhou Xiangping had moved two seats back when they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting behind them were Second Uncle Zhou and his family, followed by Third Uncle Zhou and Zhou Huakang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to them were Xu Zhenghong and Zhou Yueping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unpleasantness with Zhou Mikang on the way had made her inattentive when entering the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing the seating arrangement, she knew the Zhou family must be dealing with no small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The housekeepers, at some point, had all retreated to their respective rooms, leaving only Zhou family members in the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuxia’s heart involuntarily clenched;
