Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1359: Chapter 1353: Inquire_1 Chapter 1359: Chapter 1353: Inquire_1 Liu Fen did not expect Cao Rui to say that; she is granddaughter-in-law of the Chus? Chu Yi has not gotten married, so she must be Molin’s wife. She heard Qin Lang mention that Molin had come home, but she had never seen him.

However, she never expected that although she had never met Chu Molin, Qin Lang’s wife already had. She did not know what to say particularly when seeing a woman who looked so much like Shulan. She wondered if that woman knew about her brother-in-law’s past.

She decided to be careful with her words to avoid any disputes or quarrels later, which she would not want to see.

“Really? I had no idea that young Chu Yi was seeing someone. I suppose I’ve been out of the loop,” Liu Fen laughed lightly. Sometimes when she was with Cao Rui, she was at a loss for words.

She could tell that some things were not as they appeared. One can tell whether a person is genuinely happy or not, be she often pretended not to notice.

Maybe in her brother-in-law’s eyes, they might appear as a happily married couple, but as their family, they could see the difference.

She had thought that her brother-in-law would end up with Shulan, but she never expected that Shulan would leave and that he would marry the woman in front of her instead.

I guess it is true what people often say – some people are meant to meet but are not destined to be together. Two people deeply in love end up parting ways, and you end up married to a woman you do not love.

“Big sister-in-law, if you are out of the loop, then I must be living under a rock,” Cao Rui laughed. Liu Fen worked in the newspaper industry. If her news is not up to date, then whose is, Cao thought.

“Don’t exaggerate! That’s my job. There are other things which I wouldn’t know about. Like earlier, you knew who that young lady was, but I didn’t. It’s just like the saying – ‘where one falls short, another excels’.” Liu Fen said.

“I only found out last time when I went back to the old house with Ying. I happened to see her talking with Mrs. Chu. I asked Mrs. Chu later. I didn’t expect to see her again today. I didn’t recognize her that day, so I didn’t dare to ask if she was from The Chus,” Cao Rui said. She did not say hello to Qin Xue as she was unsure about her identity. It would be embarrassing if she got it wrong.

“Let’s not worry about others now. Let’s go for a stroll. We should head back for dinner soon, or our parents will be waiting,” Liu Fen suggested. She noticed that Cao Rui seemed out of sorts today, which was why she suggested going out.

“Sure, when can Qin Lang transfer back to the Imperial Capital? It’s worrisome to have him there alone,” Cao Rui tried to keep the conversation going.

“Who knows with him, he never listens. Nobody expected him to make such a surprise move. It’s worrying to have him there alone and not seeing him for a long time,” Liu Fen said. When it came to her son, she was very worried. He was not easy to deal with.

“It would be good if he can return soon. It’s always better for a family to be together. The separation is too taxing,” Cao Rui thought that there might be some things Qin Lang could get to know if he stayed home.

“I don’t manage his affairs now. His father takes care of that. Let him worry about that,” Liu Fen knew that her son was strong-willed. She couldn’t possibly control him. The more she tried, the more he rebelled. She thought it unnecessary. If he knew what he wanted, she would just let him be.

“You are lucky, sister-in-law. You only need to work and don’t have to worry about other things,” Cao Rui was a little envious of Liu Fen. Liu Fen had a job, a loving husband, and a successful son. Unlike her, her husband was not home much, treating his army post like his home, rarely coming back. Her daughter also didn’t come home. She was all alone in the cold, empty house every day. It was anything but a happy situation.
