Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 958 - 962: Could It Really Be Such a Coincidence?

Huo Jingrui watched Yunyi, who kept staring at him: ”Because of this connection, naturally there are more interactions.”

”Company Commander Hao’s wife wanted to match me with her cousin, Wu Fengmei, but when she brought it up, I directly refused. Unexpectedly, this person wouldn’t give up and brought her cousin over.”

After a few arranged encounters, I warned Company Commander Hao to keep his wife in check.”

Company Commander Hao had his wife send her cousin away, but by then Yu Liqin’s cousin wouldn’t leave after meeting me, and even blocked me at the entrance of the base, which really upset me.”

Afterwards, I went to Company Commander Hao, telling her to sort out domestic matters before training, and because of this, the couple had a falling out. Whether there were other issues involved, I don’t know.”

Upon hearing this, Yunyi roughly understood: ”Company Commander Hao seemed like a decent person, but unfortunately, his wife is somewhat devious.”

Huo Jingrui frowned slightly: ”Is there something I don’t know about?”

Yunyi didn’t want to hide it from him: ”She instigated others, trying to cause trouble for me, but I resolved it.”

Huo Jingrui’s face darkened at these words: ”What did she do to you?”

”She stirred others to cause trouble, but Sister-in-law Lü and I managed to defuse it together. When the school was looking for substitute teachers, Sister-in-law Lü did mention it to me, but unexpectedly, Liang Xue came up and asked me directly. That’s when I realized something was off with Yu Liqin. But I’m newly arrived with the military, so how does Yu Liqin know anything about me?”

Huo Jingrui felt uneasy after hearing this, Yunyi’s casual words set off alarm bells in his mind.

The car hadn’t yet entered the city. Passing by a police station, Huo Jingrui suddenly turned in.

Not bothering to explain to Yunyi: ”Wait for me a moment.”

Seeing him rush into the police station, Yunyi went over her words again and suddenly thought of something: Could it be so coincidental?

After entering, Huo Jingrui immediately revealed his identity and used a special phone to call the base, directly reaching Liu Cheng, instructing him to keep an eye on Yu Liqin.

The two had done numerous missions together and already had a tacit understanding, not needing to explain why.

Upon returning to the compound, Jiang Jingya was already waiting there: ”You finally came back, we were just telling Auntie Zhang that if you hadn’t returned soon, we would reheat the dishes.”

Yunyi felt a bit apologetic: ”Mom, Auntie Zhang, I’m sorry.”

Jiang Jingya laughed: ”You must have had a reason to come back late, no need to apologize. I just didn’t want you to go hungry.”

Hearing this, Yunyi looped her arm: ”Mom, thank you.”

In the past few days, she’s heard plenty of gossip in the family compound, from one family’s mother-in-law tormenting the daughter-in-law to another’s flaunting her authority as a mother-in-law. Looking at her own mother-in-law, isn’t she just the blessing she accumulated in a past life?

Jiang Jingya, fearing her daughter-in-law might be hungry, quickly called them to the table for dinner.

Yunyi didn’t see Huo Jiayuan: ”Mom, where’s Jiayuan?”

Jiang Jingya ladled a bowl of fish soup for Yunyi: ”Warm your stomach first.”

But just as the fish soup was handed to Yunyi, she felt a wave of nausea, forgetting everything else, she pulled out her chair and rushed to the bathroom.

Huo Jingrui immediately chased after her: ”Yi’er, what’s wrong with you?”

Just after asking, he thought of something: ”Yi’er, you...?”

Seeing Yunyi uncomfortable, he reached out to try to pat her back, but Yunyi stopped him.
