Reborn In The 90's: Saving My Siblings With A Fishing System

It was a five-minute drive from the port to the quad. But with Zhai Muchen driving the car while taking peeks at Han Ruochen, it took them more than ten minutes to arrive at the quad. Han Ruochen had long given up on matters like love and dating, so she didn’t notice anything, but the same couldn’t be said for Yun Xiaoxiao. She was young, and her heart was still filled with hope of finding true love. How could she not notice the curious glances of her cousin, but she didn’t say anything, as she didn’t want to startle Han Ruochen?

But when they finally arrived at the quad, Yun Xiaoxiao arched her arms over her shoulders and hummed. ”Finally, we are home. I was worried that it would take hours before we could even see the gates of our house.” She spoke too softly for Han Ruochen to hear, but Zhai Muchen heard her right away. He lightly stared at Yun Xiaoxiao, making her feel a bit scared, and she immediately turned silent.

”What’s the matter?” Han Ruochen noticed the undercurrents and was worried that it was because of her. She had come across a few rich people in her last life, and her experience with them was not good. She was worried that Yun Xiaoxiao was in trouble because of her.

”It’s nothing,” Yun Xiaoxiao smiled at her sweetly. She could, of course, not tell Han Ruochen that her brother was interested in her. After all, Zhai Muchen was a block of wood and hoping for him to be able to confess to Han Ruochen was equal to hoping that pigs would start to fly. She could only hope that Han Ruochen would start seeing the good point of her brother and fall in love with him.

Poor Yun Xiaoxiao had no idea that the dream she was having was nothing but a pipe dream. Han Ruochen was someone whose heart had turned completely cold after the sufferings she endured at the hands of Yang Jianming and his foolish brother. Hoping for her to fall in love was simply asking for a miracle.

”Come, I will take you to my mother.” Yun Xiaoxiao grabbed Han Ruochen’s hand and then dragged her inside the mansion.

The mansions of this time were relatively simple, with only two floors. There was a courtyard and a small fountain in the middle of the courtyard, with a garage and a shed in the corner. But for Han Ruochen, even these mansions were quite luxurious. Her eyes wandered like a child as she looked around. She had never seen such a pretty house before.

While she walked past the courtyard, she enthusiastically pointed at things and told Han Beijiang about them. Her youngest was smart and knew a lot of things, but he had also lived cooped up in the house, so there were several things that he didn’t know about. Han Beijiang also listened attentively to what Han Ruochen was telling him, his eyes flickering. It wasn’t that he didn’t know about these things; it was just that he liked listening to his sister’s voice.

The way she spoke to him was so loving that it made his heart warm up.

Neither Zhai Muchen nor Yun Xiaoxiao said anything, as they could see that Han Ruochen’s younger brother was different from other children. Thus, neither of them said a thing and left the two siblings alone.

”Xiaxiao?”

Mother Yun was quite surprised when she saw her daughter return so soon. Usually, when her daughter went shopping, she would take her time and return in three or four hours. Why was she back so soon today? If not for the smile on Yun Xiaoxiao’s lips, she would have thought that she was bullied by someone.

”Mom, can you bring back the two thousand yuan that we collected?” Yun Xiaoxiao said to her mother. ”This is Han Ruochen, the one who sold me her job.”

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Mother Yun turned her head and looked at Han Ruochen. Her eyes flickered with surprise at first when she saw how good-looking Han Ruochen was, but then she calmed down and smiled at her softly. ”Miss Han, how am I supposed to thank you?”

Han Ruochen might not know, but her daughter had been stuck in a quagmire for a while now. Even though they were related to the Zhai family, her husband was not holding any strong position. He was just a scholar, and this mansion was all thanks to her father-in-law, who lost his arm and leg in a war. Their family condition was not good at the moment, and even though Mother Yun knew that in the future, there was a chance that her husband might be able to break through his current predicament and become the head of his department, but till then—

They still needed to rely on their own efforts.

More importantly, her father-in-law, Old Master Yun, was as stubborn as a mule. He didn’t agree with the belief of using one’s family and identity to climb up, which made things even more difficult for Yu Miaomiao, as she was supposed to work hard and get a promotion all by herself. But was getting a permanent job as easy as thinking about it? Her daughter had been working at the school for three years, but she couldn’t get a permanent position. The reason was simple.

She was not important enough for the higher-ups to pay attention to, and no one was willing to resign from their job, either, to make Yun Xiaoxiao permanent.

Fortunately, Han Ruochen gave up on her job. Of course, as a woman, Mother Yun felt guilty about having such thoughts. So she hurriedly took Han Ruochen’s hands in hers and said to her in a low voice, ”I have to say that boy doesn’t know what is good for him. To think that he would ruin his life as well as yours for just a casual fling.”
