Rebirth To A Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1791 - Too Late to Regret

Chapter 1791: Too Late to Regret

“Fine!” Miao Jing agreed without hesitation. More than a decade ago, she and Old Zhai had gotten into a misunderstanding and had not cleared the air between them. Because of their distant relations.h.i.+p, Qiu Chenxi had been able to take advantage of the situation to marry Zhai Sheng, becoming her daughter-in-law. Now, she had cleared the misunderstanding with Old Zhai. Neither Qiu Chenxi nor Qi Minlan would ever have the chance to get close to their family again.

Miao Jing regretted being so stubborn and unwilling to take a step back to talk it out with Zhai Yaohui. That was why her son had been forced into such an unfortunate marriage.

With Zhai Sheng’s temper, even if Zhai Sheng did not like his partner, as long as that woman did not do something unforgivable like Qiu Chenxi had, Zhai Sheng would never request for a divorce even if he had no feelings for his partner.

Based on this alone, Miao Jing was already filled with regret and hate for Qiu Chenxi. But Qiu Chenxi had no self-awareness at all, and she always showed up in front of her, saying, “Mom, I know I’ve made a mistake. Give me one more chance. Forgive me.” Hearing Qiu Chenxi’s words was enough for Miao Jing to flare up.

Qiu Chenxi had not even been married to her son for two years before she had been caught cheating on him. What infuriated Miao Jing the most was that it had not been the Zhai family who had caught her red-handed, but the wife of that man whom Qiu Chenxi had been in an affair with. That meant that Qiu Chenxi and that lover of hers were both finished.

The divorce had happened more than a decade ago, but she was only apologizing and begging for forgiveness now! What had Qiu Chenxi been doing all these years?

Miao Jing was clear that Qiu Chenxi’s personal life had gotten way more complicated and messy after her divorce from Zhai Sheng. After more than a decade, Zhai Sheng had never gotten remarried. It was not that Zhai Sheng could not find someone better than Qiu Chenxi, but he simply had no desire to get remarried. Qiu Chenxi did, but it was not easy to find a partner to get remarried to.

Anyway, after more than ten years, Qiu Chenxi had never lacked a partner by her side. But it was because she had been through ‘so much’ that she finally regretted and said that her feelings for Zhai Sheng were the most genuine and sincere. What a joke!

“If anyone dares to open the door for her when she comes in the future, I’ll chase that person out of our house!” Miao Jing’s words were directed not at the Zhai family but at the family’s nanny. The old auntie that the Zhai family had hired had retired due to her age, and the Zhai family had found a younger new auntie to replace her.

This new auntie was scheming and thus made more mistakes while working. She knew that what Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing worried most about was Zhai Sheng finding a partner to get married to and have children with, and someone to spend the rest of his life with.

But Zhai Sheng had not done anything in that respect for a long time. Besides, Qiu Chenxi had once been a woman whom Zhai Sheng had agreed to marry. The new nanny felt that there was a very high possibility that Qiu Chenxi would return to become the mistress of the family. Even though Qiu Chenxi had committed a mistake in the past, Zhai Sheng might only have requested for a divorce impulsively. Maybe he truly liked Qiu Chenxi.

As the caretaker of the Zhai family, she knew that there was no point in getting in the good books of her master. At times, it was more important to gain her mistress’ favor. As long as Qiu Chenxi returned, the one in charge in the Zhai family would be Qiu Chenxi. Miao Jing could simply retire and enjoy her golden years.

With such a thought, the new caretaker auntie often relayed the situation in the Zhai family to Qiu Chenxi, trying to suck up to Qiu Chenxi. Moreover, she even took advantage of the Zhai family’s good-naturedness and spoke up for Qiu Chenxi in front of the Zhai family from time to time. The first time, she had only been trying to test out the waters to see the Zhai family’s att.i.tude toward Qiu Chenxi.

Although the Zhai family only expressed disagreement on their faces after hearing the caretaker auntie’s praises of Qiu Chenxi, they did not rebuke her. As such, the new nanny thought that there was still a chance. In fact, it was not just Zhai Sheng. The rest of the Zhai family only had Qiu Chenxi as their top pick.

With this self-righteous trial, the new nanny became much bolder and daring in her actions.

But no matter how nice a person was usually, they would still have a temper. Moreover, Qiu Chenxi’s existence was the only stain of the Zhai family, and they already tried their best not to think about it. However, the new nanny reminded them daily of how their stubbornness in the past had led to such an ill-fated union. Upon finding out that this new nanny had sold the Zhai family’s information to Qiu Chenxi to curry her favor, the Zhai family unhesitatingly fired this nanny.

The Zhai family was the one paying her wages, after all. It would be difficult for this caretaker to find another job in Ping Cheng with a reputation of being disloyal to her own employers. Whether it was out of respect for the Zhai family, or whether they refused to become the second Zhai family, no one was willing to hire a caretaker like that.

With this example, the Zhai family, who was rather good-natured, significantly raised their requirements for their nannies. As long as any nanny whom they hired dared to speak to Qiu Chenxi or interact with her, they would send her packing. Anyway, the Zhai family could not afford to hire such nannies.

Thankfully, this third nanny was much better and had not done anything foolish. But Miao Jing, who was still angry over the matter, rang the alarm bells for this new nanny. Otherwise, the caretaker might really do something foolish and sob over getting fired. She might even refuse to leave!

The new auntie shrank her neck into her shoulders. Before coming, the person who had recommended her into this job had already told her about the foolish things her predecessor had done. But she was no fool. The Zhai family’s members were nice people who paid her a good salary. There was no reason for her to put her job at stake just to curry favor from a person whom she did not even know.

Besides, from what she had heard, was something going on with Zhai Sheng?

If that was really the case, Qiu Chenxi would stand no chance at all. She would be nothing more than a dead cricket.

“You’ve been kicking up a huge fuss all this time. What’s the point of regretting only now? Ten years ago, you were pretty and tender, but Zhai Sheng still chose to leave you. Now that you’re a wrinkled vegetable, would Zhai Sheng still accept you when he has a whole harem of eighteen-year-olds to choose from?” Frustrated, Qiu Chenxi’s father, Qiu Qin, looked at Qiu Chenxi, who seemed intent on putting everything out there for Zhai Sheng.

Qiu Qin might once have been proud of having a daughter like Qiu Chenxi and might even have felt that other people’s sons could not even match up to his only daughter. But now, Qiu Qin was absolutely disgraced by his daughter and felt that Qiu Chenxi had let down all their ancestors.

Because Qiu Chenxi had married Zhai Sheng, Qiu Qin had risen through the ranks rather quickly because everyone knew that he was Chief Zhai’s in-law. In the future, he would probably become the father-in-law of a chief too. But Qiu Qin had never expected that Qiu Chenxi would get caught red-handed in bed with another man before he had become the father-in-law of a chief!
