Chapter 394: I can’t become that kind of Woman

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

The four little ones stopped in their tracks and looked at him. Zhao Lingfeng earnestly addressed them, “Your sister Yuluo is not as understanding as you four little ones. Can you help her more in your daily lives? I believe that if you are willing to assist your sister Yuluo, she will surely become a good girl.”

Seeing Zhao Lingfeng sincerely asking for their help, the four little ones couldn’t easily refuse. After exchanging glances, they nodded simultaneously.

“Okay, Uncle Zhao.”

Zhao Lingfeng immediately expressed his sincere thanks, “Thank you, kids. In a few days, when Uncle is free, I’ll treat you to something delicious.”

“No need, Uncle Zhao.”

The four little ones happily walked out.

Behind them, Xie Yunjin gave Zhao Lingfeng an unfriendly glare. “You’re shameless, using coaxing methods on kids.”

If Zhao Lingfeng had been a bit more assertive, the four little ones would have refused to help Zhao Yuluo.

Unfortunately, he had lowered his stance, and now, just like Lu Jiao, they were becoming more like her – resistant to force but responsive to kindness. Outwardly indifferent, yet inherently kind-hearted. With Zhao Lingfeng adopting this approach, the four little ones naturally fell for it.

Zhao Lingfeng chuckled and sighed, “I have such a troublesome daughter. What can I do? I had to swallow my pride. Unlike you, Yunjin, who has four cute and intelligent little ones. Just for that, you’re better than many others in this world.”

As Zhao Lingfeng’s emotional speech, Xie Yunjin felt pleased to hear him praise the four little ones.

On the side, Lu Jiao looked at Zhao Lingfeng speechlessly, then turned to Xie Yunjin, thinking, You’re falling for the same tricks, aren’t you, Xie Yunjin?

Lu Jiao turned to Zhao Lingfeng, “Did you come to find me because Baohe Tang has patients that need my treatment? Why not have your staff come and inform me?”

Zhao Lingfeng shook his head, “It’s not about Baohe Tang. It’s about the Chamber of Commerce. We’ve established three major workshops, right? This time, County Magistrate Hu sent me an invitation to join their meeting. I came to discuss whether you could represent the three major workshops and participate.”

As soon as Zhao Lingfeng finished speaking, Xie Yunjin, on the side, openly opposed the idea.

“No, I don’t agree with Jiaojiao participating in such meetings.”

Originally, he was not very willing to have her treat people, and now it turned out that she had to represent the three major workshops to participate in the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce meeting.

If she joined the Chamber of Commerce, she would have to attend various events in the future. Xie Yunjin didn’t want Lu Jiao to appear in public, especially in such situations, where most of the attendees would be men.

In the dining room, Zhao Lingfeng and Lu Jiao quickly looked at Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin, with a stern expression, gazed at Zhao Lingfeng and said solemnly, “I disagree with Jiaojiao representing the three major workshops.

She’s a woman, how can she expose herself and be with a group of men? How will those men think of her, and what will they say about her?”

In the future, if he passed the imperial examinations and she became his wife, others might use this against her.

The more Xie Yunjin thought about it, the more he disagreed with Lu Jiao representing the three major workshops and joining the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce.

On the side, Lu Jiao lightly frowned. She knew that Xie Yunjin was doing this for her good, but listening to his words made her feel uncomfortable. What did it mean that a woman couldn’t expose herself and be with a group of men? Then she couldn’t do anything in the future. Even if she became a physician, she would frequently interact with male patients.

After hearing Xie Yunjin’s words, Zhao Lingfeng couldn’t help but explain, “What I meant is that she temporarily represents the three major workshops to join the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce, and then I…”

Zhao Lingfeng didn’t finish his sentence as Xie Yunjin interrupted, speaking firmly, “I’ve said she won’t join the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce. This is your matter, Zhao Lingfeng. You can represent the three major workshops and join the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce.”

After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, Lu Jiao, feeling angered, said, “Xie Yunjin.” Xie Yunjin’s mind abruptly cleared, turning to look at Lu Jiao beside him.

Seeing Lu Jiao’s displeased expression, Xie Yunjin’s heart sank. Then he thought about Lu Jiao’s era, where men and women were equal, and women working outside the home was normal. However, this era was not like their time.

Thinking this, Xie Yunjin turned to Lu Jiao and explained, “Jiaojiao, I’m doing this for your own good. Most of those who join the Chamber of Commerce are men. If you join, it will undoubtedly attract attention, and you might face criticism. ”

Lu Jiao nodded, “I understand.”

After saying this, she turned to Zhao Lingfeng and asked, “Owner Zhao, could you let me have a private conversation with my husband?”

Zhao Lingfeng quickly stood up and walked out. He preferred not to get involved in matters between husband and wife.

In the dining room, Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin seriously.

“Xie Yunjin, what do you mean when you say that a woman shouldn’t expose herself and work with men? You should know that in my line of work, it’s impossible not to interact with men. Whether as a physician or in business, I’ll inevitably have interactions with men. I also have a dream of forming a medical team. Wherever patients need us, we will go to treat them. In the medical team, there might be many male doctors. According to your logic, should I give up on forming this medical team?

Or do you expect me to stay at home, taking care of the family and becoming a housewife?”

As Lu Jiao spoke, her expression became quite displeased. She looked at Xie Yunjin and said, “If that’s the case, let me tell you with certainty, forget about it. I can’t become that kind of woman. I, Lu Jiao, spent so many years studying and learning medical skills in my previous life, not to become a woman who only knows how to take care of the family.

Perhaps I’m not the kind of woman you want. You have the right to choose.”

Lu Jiao finished speaking and was about to leave, realizing that she needed to reevaluate the men of this era. Xie Yunjin seemed relatively progressive, but he still had such thoughts. What about other men?

Just as Lu Jiao was thinking this, Xie Yunjin suddenly stood up and grabbed her.

“Jiaojiao, I will change.”

When Xie Yunjin heard what Zhao Lingfeng said earlier, he subconsciously spoke out to stop it, forgetting Lu Jiao’s personality and what she had done.

Hearing Xie Yunjin’s words, Lu Jiao turned to look at him.

Sincerely, Xie Yunjin said, “Jiaojiao, I just momentarily forgot about your character and what you’ve done. I will slowly change in the future. Don’t be angry.”

Seeing Xie Yunjin’s sincere expression, Lu Jiao knew that it was already quite good for him to say such words. She was also willing to give each other a process of figuring out how to get along.

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yuniin and nodded slightly, “Now you understand the meaning of what I said about giving each other more than a year to get along, right? We have many different views. This is not your fault or mine; it’s the result of the environment we are in. We need to adapt to each other. If, in the end, we can compromise and get along well, then we can truly be together.

Otherwise, even if we are together, it’s hard to last..”
