Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1028: Chapter 1032: She Brought This Upon Herself, No One Else Is to Blame

Duan Zhuangyu, having never suffered such indignation, retorted, ”Who do you think you are? If you have the guts, come at us. Don’t think we’re easy to bully.”

She wasn’t really afraid these people would dare to bully her. After all, her father-in-law’s position was there, and even if the Huo Family didn’t like her, they probably wouldn’t allow anyone to bully her.

She guessed this right.

But that was under the condition that she was in the right.

Mr. Xiao, thinking the expert group would soon start the consultation, said to the Duan mother and daughter, ”We don’t have time to argue with you now, but we can wait and see.”

After speaking, he dragged his daughter out of the ward: ”Things need to be prioritized. What’s happening with your brother is the most important right now.”

Xiao Tianwan originally wanted to make a fuss, but her father’s words calmed her down: Yes, the most important thing now is for her brother to wake up.

As they left, Duan Zhuangyu said in fear, ”Mom, quickly call Dad and have him check on that family’s situation.” ℯℯ𝘭.

She thought that once Huo Gaodi arrived, she would explain everything to him.

The purpose, of course, was to have him report this to her parents-in-law, so if anything happened, they wouldn’t be completely unaware. Based on her understanding of her father-in-law, as long as news reached him, he would definitely send someone to investigate.

Even if they had eyewitnesses, so what? She was the victim, protected by the Huo Family. What trouble could they cause?

What she didn’t know was that the investigation results were already on Huo Shanhe’s desk.

Huo Shanhe’s face was terrifyingly stern as he looked at his third son standing across from him, ”What do you plan to do?”

Huo Gaodi wiped his face, ”Dad, the fact proves that my insistence back then was a mistake. I don’t want to continue like this.”

”You’re not young anymore. You must take responsibility for your decisions.”

He knew that the Huo Family truly couldn’t keep Duan Zhuangyu; otherwise, not only would she ruin his third son, but the entire Huo Family might be thrown into chaos because of her, since the signs were already showing.

Huo Gaodi nodded emphatically, ”I’ve made up my mind.”

Huo Shanhe tossed the investigation results over, ”See for yourself.”

After reading the information, Huo Gaodi’s face was very grave, ”Dad, if something really happens to Xiao Tianbao, the consequences might be...”

He didn’t continue.

Huo Shanhe said, ”The Xiao Family’s three brothers have nine daughters among them, and only this one son, who is the apple of their eye. Moreover, although Xiao Tianbao is spoiled at home, he is actually quite promising.

If something really happens, the Xiao Family might come to demand Duan Zhuangyu’s life.”

After a long while, Huo Gaodi spoke, ”It’s her own doing, she can’t blame anyone else.”

Initially, Yunyi wanted to return to the city with Jiang Jingya, but Huo Jingrui got word and stopped her: ”If it were the older or second sister-in-law, I naturally wouldn’t stop you, but she’s not worth it.”

Jiang Jingya herself didn’t want Yunyi to go, and now she persuaded more, ”Yiyi, even if you want to see her joke, there’s no rush. You’re pregnant, it’s best to stay away from that place.”

Yunyi was one to listen to advice, ”Alright, I’ll do as mom says.”

Huo Jingrui, hearing Yunyi’s words, discontentedly squeezed the hand he was holding.

Yunyi, seeing this, leaned to Huo Jingrui’s ear while Jiang Jingya wasn’t looking, ”You’re jealous even of this?”

Huo Jingrui was about to say something when Jiang Jingya turned around, so he swallowed his words, giving Yunyi a glance. His half-smiling expression left Yunyi completely baffled.
