When Lin Yanqiu and Old Madam Zhou spoke of their considerations for her, Chuxia had been holding back the tears brimming in her eyes. She really hadn't expected that they would be so considerate towards her.
In fact, she and Old Master Wan had discussed the matter privately, and both had felt that the Zhou family would not oppose her attending A Medical University, but deep down, they probably wouldn't be particularly supportive either.
Zhou Mikang's age was a factor; what they probably desired more was for her to bear the next generation for the Zhou Family early, to be a wife and mother, and this could be seen from the example of Lin Yanqiu.
It would have seemed too distant to utter formalities, yet saying and doing nothing made her feel unbearably stifled. Sitting right between Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu, she simply embraced them both and began to cry wholeheartedly.
