Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1020

Jiang Jingya did not expect the woman in front of her to be younger than herself: ”Then I shall call you Sister Su.”

As soon as she spoke, the situation became somewhat awkward.

Just as Jiang Jingya was pondering how to remedy the situation, Sister-in-Law Su spoke up: ”My name is Yuemei, just call me Yuemei.”

Jiang Jingya was relieved and nodded: ”Alright, let’s go with that.”

Now that the people were sent, Yunyi naturally wouldn’t object, after all, Jingrui had been out of touch, and she indeed was in no mood to work.

Jiang Jingya told Yunyi to rest, and she went to the kitchen with the others.

Anyway, earlier Yunyi had prepared quite a bit in the kitchen when Camp Commander Feng helped install the coal stove and the mother-in-law assisted in that room, so there was no worry about lacking ingredients.

Back in the room, she curled up on the sofa, her thoughts returning to Jingrui.

And the person she was concerned about was at an abandoned warehouse, waiting for the target to appear.

Previously, the enemy agent he brought from the deep mountains, after harsh interrogation, disclosed numerous truths, uprooting a deep-seated and extremely vicious individual in the process.

Upon his report, the superiors ordered him to collaborate with the public security forces fully to apprehend this person, aiming to catch them off guard and bring them to justice swiftly.

However, this person was too cautious and evaded capture multiple times.

On the other side, Huo Gaodi left the compound and headed directly to the Yue Family.

As soon as he entered, he heard Father-in-Law Duan Wenchang fuming: ”It’s all your indulgence! Look at how bold she is now, doing such things. How can I explain it to the in-laws, how can I face my son-in-law?

Can she still live like this? What would the in-laws think of her?”

Shen Qiuye also knew her daughter’s behavior had crossed the line this time: ”Her father, you’ve vented your anger. Now let’s think about how to make amends?”

Duan Wenjing angrily said: ”Didn’t I just say we should take her to apologize to them as soon as possible? But look at her attitude!”

Duan Zhuangyu responded to his father’s words: ”I did not expect things to develop to this point. Do you think that solves anything? It’s too embarrassing for me!”

”You realize it’s embarrassing now, but why didn’t you consider the consequences earlier? Even if you’re lucky enough to escape this time, have you ever considered that no wall is impenetrable, and if things come to light later, you won’t have any peace?”

”Dad, at this point, please don’t scold me anymore. Can you help me get through this situation first?”

”If you’re thinking about deceiving people, I advise you to give up. Let’s not forget, not even your brother-in-law would let you off easily. Look at what you’ve done!”

Shen Qiuye interjected: ”Her father, things have already happened. Scolding her until she dies won’t help. Why don’t we directly find the involved party? With Zhuangyu’s sister-in-law being young and inexperienced, if she doesn’t pursue this, maybe the Huo Family won’t insist on holding onto it?”

Duan Zhuangyu wanted to refuse but was intimidated by her mother’s sharp look.

Duan Wenchang shook his head: ”If her brother-in-law finds out, it might make things even harder to manage.”

”This won’t do, and neither will that. Then what should we do? We can’t really let our daughter’s life be miserable, can we?”

”We still need to go to the in-laws and admit our mistakes first. Only when they as elders speak up, will the matter have a chance to ease, and our son-in-law will not be put in a tough spot. Stop thinking of fooling others; no one is stupid.

No, still, there are fools, like the one right in front of us.”
