Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1323: Chapter 1323: She Was Telling the Truth!

"Impossible."

Lijuan directly denied, "I checked, Wen Yun isn’t married."

Regarding her brother Hu Shuwei’s words, Lijuan outright denied them, because she knew her brother had feelings for Wen Yun. Lijuan had discreetly inquired about Wen Yun from her colleagues.

From the nurses’ mouths, Lijuan understood very clearly that Wen Yun hadn’t even gotten a boyfriend, let alone married. She was even being pushed into blind dates recently.

Therefore, Lijuan didn’t believe Hu Shuwei’s words at all.

No, to be precise, she didn’t believe Wen Yun’s words; she felt this was a way to reject Hu Shuwei.

"Brother, maybe she’s just not that into you." Lijuan looked at her brother, who was 5’7", slightly short for a guy, but Hu Shuwei was... reasonably handsome.

Hmm, not overly handsome, but at least quite presentable. Nowadays, with a good income, girls lining up to marry Hu Shuwei would be an understatement. She asked, "Brother, do you just think she’s pretty?"

"I think she’s gentle, a good wife material at home, should be quite frugal." Hu Shuwei’s impression of Wen Yun was: gentle, obedient, sensible, and polite; her clothes suggested she was quite wise in managing the household.

"..."

Lijuan never expected Hu Shuwei to think this way, and said, "Then find another one. Didn’t mom introduce many like that? Gentle, obedient, sensible, polite."

"But they aren’t as pretty as Wen Yun."

Hu Shuwei said candidly.

Lijuan: "..."

She knew it, he was smitten by Wen Yun’s appearance. Even if Wen Yun never seriously dolled herself up, her natural beauty was unreachable no matter how Lijuan tried herself.

"She has no interest in you, yet you want to pursue her?" Lijuan questioned.

"Yeah."

Hu Shuwei nodded affirmatively, and said, "If I don’t try, how will I know whether I can succeed?"

"Alright, then take your time pursuing." Lijuan replied.

Hu Shuwei grinned at her and said, "Lijuan, you’re my sister, my own sister, you’ll help me, right?"

Lijuan rolled her eyes playfully, asking, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Invite her to a meal." Hu Shuwei replied.

Lijuan nodded affirmatively.

Hu Shuwei exclaimed excitedly, "Lijuan, you truly are my sister, I knew you’d help me."

"Wait a moment." Lijuan interrupted his praise, "I can help, but I’ve had my eye on a new skincare set from Qingmeiren."

Lijuan raised a cheerful smile at Hu Shuwei, Qingmeiren’s skincare line; her colleague used it, making her skin smooth and fragrant, like a peeled egg. She thought it was good!

The only downside, though, was the price, a skincare set cost US$ 100, nearly half her monthly salary!

"How much is it?"

Hu Shuwei felt a slight pain in his wallet, even though he earned well, most of the money was saved by Mrs. Hu, and he didn’t have much spare cash.

"Hehe, not much."

Lijuan’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Hu Shuwei.

...

"Wen Yun, long time no see."

This time, Lijuan specifically came to find Wen Yun, and upon seeing her, she had a warm smile. All she had to do was invite Wen Yun out for a meal, and Hu Shuwei would buy her a Qingmeiren set.

For that Qingmeiren set, she’d do anything to get Wen Yun out!

"Are you feeling unwell?" Wen Yun remembered that Lijuan seemed under the weather last time.

"No, I’m here visiting a patient, so I purposely came to find you." Lijuan’s words were vivid, "It’s almost lunchtime, how about we grab a meal together?"

Lunch?

Wen Yun hesitated for a moment.

The words Hu Shuwei said a few days ago suddenly flashed in her mind.

Now that Lijuan invited her for lunch, Wen Yun instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Wen Yun, we’re old classmates, right? You can’t not give me this face, can you?" Lijuan’s skillful words made it impossible for Wen Yun, who wasn’t good at refusing, to decline.

Ultimately, Wen Yun naturally followed Lijuan for lunch, and when she saw Hu Shuwei, her heart skipped a beat, feeling slightly uneasy.

But thinking about how she told Hu Shuwei she was married, perhaps she was overthinking it.

"Wen Yun, ran into my brother too, you don’t mind eating together, right?"

Lijuan explained.

Wen Yun repeatedly said she didn’t mind.

The meal was awkward for Wen Yun, and she felt uneasy. Even with the tantalizing food, Wen Yun couldn’t eat her fill.

Mostly because Hu Shuwei was overly enthusiastic, making it hard for Wen Yun to not think too much.

She wanted to mention that she was married, but Lijuan didn’t believe her and discreetly whispered to Wen Yun, "Wen Yun, my brother’s really not bad. Even if you’re not interested, there’s no need to say you’re married to trick us, right?"

Wen Yun was at a loss for words, "Lijuan, I, I really am married, I’m not lying to you."

"Wen Yun, alright alright, let’s not talk about my brother, but don’t lie to me. I asked your colleague, and they all said you’re not married, not even a boyfriend." Lijuan was a bit unhappy because although she wasn’t entirely convinced about her brother, Wen Yun lying to her made Lijuan uncomfortable.

Wen Yun: "..."

She was telling the truth, why wouldn’t they believe her?

"Wen Yun, what’s wrong, I can change. I really like you."

Hu Shuwei earnestly looked at Wen Yun, each word heartfelt.

Wen Yun felt even more awkward, they didn’t believe she was married, but she truly was!

Besides, even if she wasn’t married, she didn’t like Hu Shuwei.

They had only met a few times!

Wen Yun was on the verge of tears inside, how should she refuse Hu Shuwei?

"I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first."

Hu Shuwei didn’t want to push too hard either, and left after expressing his thoughts.

Lijuan kindly advised, "Wen Yun, my brother’s really reliable. This is the first time I’ve seen him so serious about someone."

"No need to feel pressured, you can start as friends. I’ve got to go, talk next time."

Lijuan finished speaking and left in a hurry.

Leaving Wen Yun standing there, bewildered. She had spoken the truth, why didn’t they believe her?

Because of the Hu Shuwei issue, Wen Yun even felt headaches going to work. Returning to her newly moved-in community, her mood instantly improved, as it’s only a ten-minute walk from the community to the hospital. A large supermarket at the entrance of the community made buying things especially convenient.

Living in the new community, she could sleep for an extra half-hour each day, and being a little lazy, even an extra hour was possible, making Wen Yun overjoyed!
