Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

After finishing their meal, Shen Nian and Lin Jingyun prepared to leave.

However, just as they left the cafeteria and started walking toward the family housing complex, Shen Nian felt that the stares from the people around them were a bit strange.

These weren’t the curious looks she’d gotten on her way over. Instead, they seemed malicious, even gloating.

’And it seems the ones looking at me like this are all residents from the family complex?’

’I just got here. Surely I couldn’t have offended this many people already, could I?’

Shen Nian noticed, and Lin Jingyun at her side naturally sensed it as well. Unlike Shen Nian, who had just arrived, Lin Jingyun had been living here for a long time. She had seen it all. A situation like this clearly meant someone was spreading malicious news and rumors about Shen Nian within the family housing complex, turning the uninformed residents against the newcomer with ill intent.

”Xiao Nian, have you offended anyone since you arrived?”

”No, I haven’t! Oh, wait... it couldn’t be...”

Shen Nian wasn’t really sure if she had offended anyone, but since arriving, there was really only one person she’d had any interaction with.

”What is it?”

Shen Nian wasn’t sure, but she gave Lin Jingyun a rough account of what had happened with Liu Fanglan earlier.

”Her again! That Liu Fanglan, honestly...!”

Lin Jingyun grew angry as Shen Nian finished her story. It was obvious she was now certain who was behind this.

”It was really Sister-in-law Liu?”

”I was careless. I should have warned you sooner. This Sister-in-law Liu in our housing complex is a chronic gossip, she’s unreasonable, and she loves taking advantage of people. Quite a few residents here have been bullied by her.”

Of course, Liu Fanglan is selective about who she bullies. Her targets are usually those whose husbands don’t have high-ranking positions and who look young and appear weak.

With my status as a department head’s wife, Liu Fanglan wouldn’t dare bully me; she’s too busy trying to curry favor.

”Wow, is she really that bad?”

Shen Nian thought back to Liu Fanglan’s behavior. ’Looks like I really underestimated her!’

”You have to be careful. In the past, someone here was bullied by her so badly they couldn’t stand it. After just a few days, they packed up and went crying back to their hometown. The thing is, she does everything in secret and is an expert at riling people up. Her victims get bullied without even knowing who’s really pulling the strings.”

Otherwise, how could a person like that have been tolerated here for so long!

The Security Group went to great lengths to set up this family housing complex for the convenience of its outstanding employees, not to create a place for troublemakers.

Lin Jingyun only saw through Sister-in-law Liu’s true colors because she herself was quick-witted, and as they say, the onlooker sees the game best. There are plenty of residents here who are still completely in the dark!

She really didn’t want to see a sweet young woman like Shen Nian get bullied out of this place by that Sister-in-law Liu.

”Sister Jingyun, I understand. But don’t worry, I’m not so easily bullied.”

Shen Nian said with a smile as she looked at Lin Jingyun. Plenty of people had wanted to bully her, but whether they could actually succeed... that depended on their own abilities.

”So, do you have a plan in mind?”

Lin Jingyun looked at Shen Nian, intrigued. Plenty of people had been bullied by Liu Fanglan, but no one had ever dared to confront her head-on! It wasn’t that Liu Fanglan was so formidable, but sometimes, it’s like a scholar arguing with a soldier—reason just doesn’t get through.

The last thing you’d want is to fail to put her in her place and just end up making things worse for yourself.

Shen Nian simply smiled at Lin Jingyun without a word. Instead, she turned and walked toward two residents who were pointing and whispering about her off to the side.
