Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 673: Chapter 667: Now I Know

“So what does that make me, the third party?” Qin Xue glared at Chu Molin.

“Xue’er, I never agreed to this. This was all their idea, and it has nothing to do with me.” Chu Molin hastily explained when he saw Qin Xue’s expression.

“But you never told me about this.” Qin Xue thought that if she had known about this earlier, perhaps she wouldn’t have given her heart away so easily. The one thing she detested most was being the third party in a relationship.

“Xue’er, I haven’t been back to the Imperial Capital for over ten years; do you know why?” Chu Molin said.

“What, is it because of this?” Qin Xue asked.

“Part of it is. I made it clear back then that I didn’t agree with this so-called engagement.”

...
I didn’t even nod my head; it was just something they said verbally. There’s no actual proof of this happening. If you don’t believe me, ask them.” Chu Molin, seeing that Qin Xue didn’t believe him, pointed to Miao Qingqing and Chu Xiaoqiao and told his wife to ask them. That should make her believe him, right?

“Sister-in-law, it’s true. My brother really never agreed to it.” Chu Xiaoqiao took her brother’s side in this matter.

“Daughter-in-law, what Linlin said is true. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have married you, right? Don’t you understand him?

If he really liked that girl from the Luus, he wouldn’t have stayed away from home for so many years, let alone married you. But since he married you, you must be the one he loves.” Miao Qingqing said. In simple terms, her grandson was just stubborn.

But after hearing this, Qin Xue sneered in her heart. That wasn’t necessarily true. He didn’t love the original Qin Xue, yet he still married her.

However, Qin Xue did understand Chu Molin’s character quite well. No one could force him if he didn’t want to do something.

Simply put, he was a stubborn person. Once his temper flared, he was fearless. Perhaps it was because he had spent so much time in the military, but no one would have noticed his temper this way.

“Then what’s the reason for you two staying here?” Qin Xue asked.

“It’s all because of the old man. He wants Linlin to go back and marry that girl from the Luus. I disagreed, and I said that if he dares to force Linlin to abandon you and marry that girl from the Luus, I’ll never go back and live with them for the rest of my life.

He then suggested a bet. If Linlin agrees to go back without you, I lose; otherwise, I win. Now I’ve won, so of course, I’m living with you.” The usually simple Miao Qingqing must have been vehemently opposed to the idea.

“Mhm, grandma and I were talking on our way here. If big brother really does go back, you should leave him behind. You don’t deserve a man like that.” Chu Xiaoqiao started talking but couldn’t finish.

It was because Chu Molin’s murderous gaze frightened her. Was he going to beat her up?

“You always come up with terrible ideas.” Chu Molin thought, this was truly his family, showing him no mercy when they tried to set him up.

“Hehe, big brother, didn’t I come here to join you and sister-in-law? Please take me in.” Chu Xiaoqiao wanted to escape when she thought about how her family was forcing her into blind dates.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her family. Did they have nothing better to do than to engage in these schemes that hurt their own kin? Their sister-in-law already had a child, yet their grandfather insisted it was a promise made with the Luus for over a decade and couldn’t break his word.

But when the grandfather heard his eldest grandson had a child, he wanted a great-grandchild so much he didn’t care about the child’s mother. Did he really think the mother would just hand over the child? They weren’t fools.

And then there was the matter of her own blind date. She was young and wanted to have fun before considering marriage. Yet, her family acted as if she wouldn’t get married if they didn’t hurry, which irritated her to no end.
