Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 727: Chapter 727: What’s Going On Here

After hearing the gossip, Yunyi tidied up and prepared to leave work.

She had just come out of the hospital when she saw Huo Jingrui waiting not far away.

Yunyi jogged forward: ”Jingrui, what are you doing here?”

Huo Jingrui took the purse from her hands: ”I’m here to pick you up.”

Someone saw Vice Factory Director Huo coming to pick up Yunyi, and whispered, ”Doctor Chu is really so lucky, I’ve never seen any woman in our factory receive such treatment, and it’s from Vice Factory Director Huo, who’s always busy.”

”Doctor Chu is not only good-looking but also talented. The two are well-matched.”

The two of them have good hearing, naturally hearing everyone’s discussions, and when their eyes met, they were full of tenderness and affection.

When they had walked a little farther, Yunyi asked, ”Are any of the missing blueprints yours?”

Huo Jingrui nodded lightly: ”Those people specifically targeted those few design drawings.”

Yunyi frowned and said, ”Is it spies or competitors?”

Yunyi thought to herself, if this was linked to spies, then Chief Lu’s life as he knows it is over. If it’s a trap set by competitors, he might still have a chance of survival.

It’s not like she’s defending him, it’s just that with such a biased mother and a brother who constantly drags him down, this outcome was bound to happen sooner or later.

Huo Jingrui heard Yunyi’s words and turned to look at her: ”This time it has nothing to do with spies. It was a staff member from a machinery factory in Hai City who came here on a business trip, unintentionally learned about our upcoming new product. He must have followed us when we were testing in the countryside.”

Yunyi, being very clever, understood the situation without needing much explanation: ”Did they find the person?”

Huo Jingrui nodded: ”When they caught him, he was just about to board a car with the design drawings.”

Yunyi shrugged: ”What a business trip, he walked right into prison.”

Huo Jingrui looked down at Yunyi: ”Yi’er, in three months, I should be done here, and by then, I’ll need to go back and report in.”

Actually, if he hadn’t received another secret mission, he should have gone back last month.

With the current task, he could conveniently monitor the launch, trial, and market release of his designed product: ”If we go by what you said earlier, by then you should have finished your work too.”

Yunyi thought for a moment: ”It’s okay, even if my work isn’t finished, you can go back first, and I can return to Beijing a little later.”

Huo Jingrui glanced around and, under his coat’s cover, secretly held Yunyi’s small hand: ”But I want to go back with you.”

Yunyi playfully rolled her eyes at him: ”Don’t you need to go back first to apply for the military family quarters?”

Huo Jingrui’s eyes were full of laughter: ”Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything in advance so you won’t have any hardships. It’s just that I simply don’t want to be apart from you.”

Yunyi didn’t want to keep dwelling on the issue: ”It’s too early to talk about this now, we’ll see how things are when the time comes.”

As they talked and returned to the family quarters, they heard someone in the courtyard speaking: ”Do you have any extra salt? Could you lend us some, and we’ll return it to you later?”

The two exchanged glances, wondering what was going on.

So they quickened their pace, and once inside, they saw an elderly woman standing at the kitchen door.

Yunyi couldn’t help but frown and called towards the kitchen: ”Jiayuan.”

Huo Jiayuan heard Yunyi’s voice and peeked out of the kitchen: ”Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you’re back.”

By now, the two had walked closer, and Yunyi glanced inside but didn’t see Lu Licheng: ”Did Lu Licheng leave?”
