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

Liu Fanglan had been so impressed by the beautiful packaging on Shen Nian’s gift, assuming it was something special. But when she got home and opened it, she unwrapped a small piece only to discover it was just candy.

She immediately tossed it aside in disdain. She was still fuming when those two women showed up at her door. After hearing what they had to say—good grief, she was absolutely livid.

”When did I ever say I was giving you an expensive gift?”

Shen Nian looked at Liu Fanglan, her tone natural and sincere. It was obvious she wasn’t lying.

”But didn’t you say the welcome gift for Sister-in-law Liu was a snack from Dingshi Restaurant?”

The expression of the woman standing nearby flickered as she looked at Shen Nian. ’That’s what she said before. Is she really going back on her word now? Does that mean we’re the ones who’ve been made fools of?’

”Yes, it’s from Dingshi Restaurant! But is that supposed to be some incredibly valuable gift?”

”Uh...”

’But that’s Dingshi Restaurant! The one they all wanted to try but couldn’t bring themselves to spend money on! How is that not valuable? More importantly, spending that much on so few snacks is totally extravagant!’

”What the hell is ’Dingshi’ this or that? I have no idea what you’re talking about! You, Shen, I brought the crappy candy you gave me, packaging and all. Don’t you dare try to frame me!”

As Liu Fanglan spoke, she pulled out the bag she had stuffed into her pocket before leaving. It was badly crumpled, and she deliberately smoothed it out.

Once it was spread out, Liu Fanglan looked at Shen Nian with a triumphant sneer. ”Hmph. The packaging is pretty enough, I’ll give you that. Who would have guessed it was just full of worthless junk!”

After she spoke, Liu Fanglan waited for the onlookers to turn on Shen Nian with scornful accusations. However, instead of accusing Shen Nian, she found that everyone was staring at her.

”What are you all looking at me for!”

”Sister-in-law Liu, that bag you’re holding... isn’t that from Dingshi Restaurant?”

They might not have been able to afford it, but they had certainly seen it before! That was unmistakably a Dingshi Restaurant bag—its packaging was unique, unlike any other place.

”What?”

”I mean, Sister-in-law Liu, don’t tell me you don’t even recognize Dingshi Restaurant?”

This sudden turn of events made Lin Jingyun laugh out loud as she looked at Liu Fanglan.

Liu Fanglan herself probably never imagined that this humiliating reversal was brought about by her own actions.

It wasn’t just Lin Jingyun who laughed; even Shen Nian couldn’t help the corners of her mouth from twitching into a smile.

”I...”

Liu Fanglan’s face turned beet red—not from shyness, of course, but from pure mortification.

The truth was, she had no idea what Dingshi Restaurant was. But if there was one thing Liu Fanglan couldn’t stand, it was being called ignorant.

And it seemed this entire situation had, in fact, been caused by her own ignorance.

After all, who was to blame for her not even recognizing Dingshi Restaurant?

Of course, whether Liu Fanglan knew about Dingshi Restaurant wasn’t the real issue. The key was that she had insisted on using this to cause trouble for Shen Nian and try to take advantage of her.

It must be said, what kind of welcome gift a person chooses to give—be it expensive or cheap—is entirely up to them. It should never be an excuse for criticism.

Liu Fanglan’s silence and the change in her expression made her two companions realize the truth. At once, the way they looked at her changed.

When they turned back to Shen Nian, they couldn’t meet her eyes. They were simply too ashamed to face anyone.

’So embarrassing, this is just too embarrassing! Liu Fanglan has been utterly humiliated, and we’ve been humiliated right along with her!’

Just as Liu Fanglan’s little faction wished the whole affair would blow over and were hoping to say no more, the childish voice of her son, Luo Xiaohu, suddenly piped up.

”Mommy, that stuff you brought home today was so yummy! I’ve never eaten anything so delicious! I want more!”

Luo Xiaohu’s words undoubtedly ripped away Liu Fanglan’s last shred of dignity, making it impossible for her to pretend nothing had happened.

”Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know how to do! Why do you have to eat everything? Spit it out! Now!”

Right now, Liu Fanglan truly wished none of this had ever happened. She wished she could somehow salvage her dignity.

”What’s going on here?”

The sudden voice made everyone freeze. Even Liu Fanglan, who had been about to strike Luo Xiaohu, lowered her hand and turned toward the source of the sound.
