Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Just Keep This to Yourself, Don’t Tell Anyone

Gao Ruyi was somewhat stunned when she heard her stepmother’s words: ”Really?”

Jiang Jingya put her finger to her lips and whispered, ”You know about it, just don’t say it out loud.”

Gao Ruyi could never have imagined that the future sister-in-law had such ability to quietly shoot a movie, and it got a great response. That’s really impressive.

She glanced at the others in the room and leaned closer to Jiang Jingya: ”Auntie Jiang, if I have some time in the next few days, I’ll go and watch that movie myself.”

Jiang Jingya’s eyebrows were filled with smiles: ”Sure, we’ll go together.”

Gao Ruyi laughed: ”That sounds wonderful.”

Gui Hongmei turned around and saw the two whispering: ”Auntie Jiang, sister-in-law, what are you whispering about?”

Gao Ruyi looked up and smiled: ”I was asking Auntie Jiang if she wanted to go watch a movie tomorrow afternoon. Sister-in-law, would you like to join us?”

Gui Hongmei curled her lips: ”I’d rather have a good rest instead of watching a movie with that time.”

Gao Ruyi shook her head in her heart. She had to admit that the sister-in-law was both family-oriented and practical, saving whenever possible. Not to mention watching movies, even buying clothes was only because going to work demanded proper attire; otherwise, she probably wouldn’t even bother.

Otherwise, her older nephew Huo Xiaodong’s previous relationship wouldn’t have ended quickly with talk of marriage, causing him to break up with the girl.

Thinking about that, she asked: ”Sister-in-law, I ran into Xiaodong at the Department Store a few days ago. There was a girl by his side; is he dating someone?”

As soon as her eldest son’s matter was brought up, Gui Hongmei felt guilty: ”Ever since he broke up with his previous girlfriend, Xiaodong has changed a lot, holding quite a grudge against me. No matter who’s introduced to him, he won’t meet them. It was only after your big brother got furious that he agreed to meet someone.

It looks like he’s interested, but the girl’s family just lost their grandfather not long ago, so even if they get married, it’ll be the second half of next year; there’s still some time.”

Jiang Jingya felt instantly relieved upon hearing this. The previous daughter-in-law used to boast in front of her a lot about her son’s marriage.

Thinking of the girl Huo Xiaodong was previously seeing, Jiang Jingya felt sorry for him; the girl was truly good, but Gui Hongmei foolishly ruined it.

By the time they got the news and wanted to salvage it, the girl’s family had already sent her to an aunt in another city.

Because of this, the eldest couple often quarreled, but what good does arguing do?

It was really unfortunate for Xiaodong.

But for her, it wasn’t bad news. Her son told her that once Yunyi’s eighteenth birthday was over, they’d get their marriage certificate.

Judging by Gui Hongmei’s recent words, her son, as the uncle, might end up marrying before Xiaodong, the nephew, putting an end to Gui Hongmei’s flaunting.

The dishes were prepared quickly, one table for men, and one for women.

Huo Jiayuan spoke up: ”By next year, when my fourth brother brings my fourth sister-in-law into the family, it will be a full table of people.”

Jiang Jingya was all smiles upon hearing this: ”That’s something Mom loves to hear.”

At this moment, Gui Hongmei remarked somberly: ”That’s not certain. After all, Xiaodong is also of age to marry. His wife might be the one joining the full table.”

Huo Weidong sighed deeply in his heart; he was at a loss, genuinely wondering why she was so eager to oppose Auntie Jiang. Couldn’t she just stay calm during the New Year?
