Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander

Chapter 1522 - 1008_2

Zeng Meili’s face turned bright red, especially when she saw Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe coming out of the kitchen, her face looked even more unsure of where to put itself.

"Child, what are you so shy about?" Zhao Yulan said with a smile as she approached, "You’ve seemed so out of sorts these past days, we’ve been worrying ourselves sick over you. But now, it’s alright, we can finally be at ease, and you can focus on studying."

"Thank you, aunt..." Zeng Meili looked apologetically at Zhao Yulan, "I’ve been making uncle and you worry with me all this time, I’m really sorry about it."

"Saying such polite words makes us distant..." Zhao Yulan smiled at Jing Zhe, "Xiao Zhe, you mustn’t stir up such trouble again in the future. Meili has a good temper, otherwise you’d regret it."

"I know, I know..." Jing Zhe nodded repeatedly, "I promise, I won’t mess around ever again. This time, I truly understand now, I’ve finally overcome the hurdle in my heart."

After dinner, Jing Zhe didn’t shy away from everyone and recounted the situation between him and Zhuang Yuning.

The facts were largely consistent with Chuxia’s guesses.

Back then, Jing Zhe and Zhuang Yuning were childhood friends, and in Jing Zhe’s view, there was absolutely no reason to worry or doubt this relationship. But when he went to the Capital City for studies, Zhuang Yuning unexpectedly got together with Du Aimin.

The key problem was, Du Aimin also had a fiancée with whom he had held a ceremony.

If it hadn’t been accidentally discovered by Jing Zhe, this secret affair might have continued indefinitely.

At the time of the discovery, Jing Zhe was with Jing Monian, so the whole Jing Family knew about it and, of course, they all disapproved of him being with Zhuang Yuning again.

How could a relationship of many years be let go of just like that?

Jing Zhe was in deep pain at the time, but thankfully the Jing Family was understanding and didn’t force him, only asking him to move on as soon as possible.

After the breakup, it was Zhuang Yuning who couldn’t let go, and she often came to find Jing Zhe.

After all, what happened between Zhuang Yuning and Du Aimin was a scandal, and the Jing Family didn’t reveal it publicly, so when Zhuang Aimin came to visit, they couldn’t just keep her out.

In truth, it was the benevolence of the Jing Family that didn’t want to ruin her life because of it.

Because of this, Zhuang Yuning always believed she and Jing Zhe might still have a chance.

On the other side, Du Aimin broke his engagement with his fiancée and wanted to be with Zhuang Yuning.

By that time, Zhuang Yuning realized Du Aimin’s persistence was entirely because of her family’s background, not because his feelings for her were that deep.

Later, unable to endure Du Aimin’s entanglements, Zhuang Yuning approached Jing Zhe, asking if he was willing to face Du Aimin together, to make him give up completely, and then she’d stop bothering Jing Zhe.

To continuously face this, would mean enduring constant heartache, so Jing Zhe agreed to her.

During the meeting, Zhuang Yuning told Du Aimin that she loved Jing Zhe, had always loved him, and being with Du Aimin was merely a result of having spent too long with Jing Zhe, neglecting her true feelings.

Of course, Du Aimin didn’t agree.

The more they talked, the more heated it became, leading to a physical altercation.

In actuality, Zhuang Yuning wanted to push Du Aimin into the river, but unintentionally knocked the unsuspecting Jing Zhe into the water instead, then jumped in after him, desperately trying to pull him up.

Yes, Jing Zhe couldn’t swim.

So indeed, Jing Zhe’s life was saved by Zhuang Yuning.

After the incident, Du Aimin left on his own.

Due to losing his memory of that period, this matter was sealed away.

As for the diary buried in the courtyard, it was indeed written by Jing Yi, unbeknownst to Jing Monian. She just hoped, in this manner, to let the spirit of Zhuang Yuning in the heavens let go of her little brother, and let him wake up.

Unexpectedly, someday this incident made her little brother face it again because of her.

Jing Zhe also mentioned that upon regaining his memory, he understood that he had deliberately forgotten that period, because when Zhuang Yuning rescued him, she was already devoid of vitality.

Perhaps what Zhuang Yuning said was true; she didn’t really intend to betray Jing Zhe, just neglected her feelings and went down the wrong path, then found when she wanted to return, the mistake was unforgivable.

Inside Jing Zhe, feelings of love and hate towards Zhuang Yuning mingled, a sensation too torturous to bear, leading him to remind himself during his coma to forget that Chapter.

As for the feasibility of such matters, both Elder Yuan and Elder Qi stated that sometimes, when a person has strong willpower, they can indeed accomplish things that defy explanation by conventional logic.

In fact, Jing Zhe had been unable to move forward emotionally because subconsciously he still retained memories of past wounds. Even without seeing the diary and not knowing the truth, a smooth progression between him and Zeng Meili was unlikely.

Now, it seems, this bout of turbulence turned out to be a good thing; both he and Zeng Meili would cherish their hard-earned destiny even more.

The investigation to uncover the truth was conducted by Zhou Mikang.

Upon first learning the truth, Chuxia immediately called Zhou Mikang to confront him: "Didn’t you promise to inform me immediately if there was news? Why didn’t you keep your word?"

Over the phone, Zhou Mikang chuckled bitterly: "I indeed called you right away, but you were in class, didn’t you ask Grandfather? He was the one who answered."

"Fine, I won’t hold you accountable for this, I just want to ask, won’t you suddenly have some former girlfriend pop up one day?" Chuxia cleared her throat, "Don’t blame me for doubting you, it’s because you clearly knew about it beforehand yet concealed it from me, so you can’t blame me for overthinking!"

Division Commander Tongzi: "..." To bring up such a matter without cause, one must have some issue with their brain, right? (To be continued.
