Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2293: Chapter 2229: What If She Holds a Grudge?

Long Xiaocai glanced at her and asked, "Could you ask Deputy Director Chen if he knows what Great Officer Meng likes to eat? I’d like to show off my cooking skills."

"Alright, alright." Sister-in-law Chen hurriedly walked out.

After walking a distance, she slowed her pace and patted her chest, showing a look of regret and fear.

Previously, Long Xiaocai approached her, talking about a certain task, and mentioned that her husband Old Chen might be on the list to participate in the task, which immediately made her panic.

Such a dangerous task, and she didn’t know how long it would take; how could she bear to let Old Chen go?

Long Xiaocai hinted that, as long as she helped with one favor, it could be ensured that Old Chen wouldn’t be on the list, and he might even get a promotion.

In a moment of impulsiveness, she agreed to Long Xiaocai’s request.

But now she found herself in a dilemma.

Great Officer Meng indeed has a fiancée, and it’s said that their relationship is quite good.

Moreover, Great Officer Meng truly has no interest in Long Xiaocai.

Old Chen just gave her a good scolding, and if she continues to stir things up, what if she really makes Old Chen angry?

But if she doesn’t help, what if Long Xiaocai harbors resentment and actually gets Old Chen included in that task list?

Old Chen isn’t young anymore, and the chances of getting injured or facing life-threatening situations on such a dangerous task are certainly much greater compared to younger people. How could she let Old Chen go?

If it’s because of her, wouldn’t she be harming Old Chen? Her child would lose their father, her in-laws would lose their son, and the whole family would truly collapse.

Thinking about this, Sister-in-law Chen felt like she had no way out.

She found Chen Yujun, who was with Zhao Ren, along with Dai Gang and another officer named Duan Huaiyang.

Originally, Meng Xinian was supposed to be with them discussing the training plan, but they all knew his wife had arrived, and as the discussion was already at its end, Meng Xinian had been involved earlier, so there was no need to specifically include him now.

Seeing so many people, Sister-in-law Chen couldn’t help but feeling a bit uneasy.

Especially since Zhao Ren was there; Sister-in-law Zhao had already sent Zhai Cuixin away after being scolded by Zhao Ren, whereas the Little Cai she brought was still here.

In comparison, Old Chen would surely feel embarrassed and displeased.

But Little Cai’s status is different, Old Chen may be unhappy but probably wouldn’t show it.

After mentally preparing herself, Sister-in-law Chen plastered a smile on her face and knocked on the door.

Upon seeing her, Chen Yujun was indeed a bit annoyed and asked in a not-so-nice tone, "What are you here for?"

Dai Gang also wasn’t pleased to see Sister-in-law Chen.

He didn’t have a good impression of Sister-in-law Chen.

A helpful nature needs moderation; if one’s eagerness to help causes significant inconvenience or potential trouble for others, then that kind of helpfulness shouldn’t exist.

Sister-in-law Chen is obviously rather thickheaded.

"Here’s the thing, isn’t Great Officer Meng’s fiancée here now? I heard Great Officer Meng’s place hasn’t been cooking meals, so today his fiancée must be cooking. I thought, since I might have made things difficult for Great Officer Meng earlier, I’d take this opportunity to apologize to the couple."

When Chen Yujun heard her intention, his expression softened.

"You’re not wrong in thinking that way."
