Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1008 - 1012: Everything Is in Chaos

The actions of Duan Zhuangyu truly shattered his worldview, and before he could recover from the shock, his father’s call came through.

Moreover, judging by the tone, he didn’t need to ask to know for certain it was an undeserved disaster, otherwise, he wouldn’t be that furious.

What could he do but request leave to go back and clean up the mess? If it weren’t for Duan Zhuangyu being pregnant right now, he really wanted to drag her to get a divorce right this moment.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, he directly grabbed a book from the table and threw it hard on the ground.

As for Duan Zhuangyu, who hung up the phone, she was feeling intensely regretful. She didn’t regret dealing with Yunyi, but regretted that it was delayed by one day; if it were sent out one day earlier, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Instead of reflecting on herself, she started blaming Ruan Jishan, her little brother-in-law.

Her thought process was all over the place.

Thinking about what happened, she couldn’t help but touch her belly. Thankfully she had the amulet, otherwise, she might not have escaped unscathed.

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard hurried footsteps approaching from outside. She raised her head, intending to see who had arrived.

Suddenly, she saw an angrily rushing Duan Wenchang: "Dad, you...."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was slapped hard: "How dare you do such things, do you know what it means to harm others without benefiting yourself? What on earth are you thinking?"

At this time, her mother Shen Qiuye also came chasing in: "Zhuangyu, you really went too far this time. By doing this, the in-laws’ family won’t have a place for you in the future."

Duan Wenchang pointed at Duan Zhuangyu with his hand, speaking furiously: "If you weren’t pregnant with a child of the Huo family, given the things you’ve done, you would have been kicked out by the Huo family long ago, yet here you are, still gloating without knowing your place."

Shen Qiuye hastily stepped forward to dissuade him: "Dear, don’t just focus on being angry, think about how to deal with this matter instead?"

Duan Wenchang shouted with a dark face: "It’s all because you spoiled her! Look at this mess; do you know how much trouble she’s caused this time?"

He felt utterly humiliated by this disobedient daughter. When the senior brother called to discuss this matter, his intention was clear: if not handled well, they would cut ties in the future.

But what could he do about this?

Aside from apologizing and compensating, there was nothing else he could do. Yet thinking about the compensation, if it was too little the other party wouldn’t agree, but too much and he couldn’t afford it.

If it were someone else, he could disgracefully ask his son-in-law for help to overcome the crisis, but unfortunately, his own foolish daughter harmed the Huo family’s younger daughter-in-law, her own sister-in-law.

He didn’t have the face to ask his son-in-law, feeling dizzy with anger, he felt the house was spinning.

Amid a loud scream, he finally fainted dramatically.

Shen Qiuye panicked: "Dear, Wenchang, what happened to you? Don’t scare me?"

The Duan family was in chaos, and the Huo family was also suffering.

As soon as Huo Gaodi entered the door, he saw Auntie Jiang with a cold face.

Since Auntie Jiang married into the Huo family, it’s the first time she showed him a cold face: "Dad, Auntie Jiang, I’m back."

No one was paying attention to him, he felt quite embarrassed: "Dad, Auntie Jiang, Duan Zhuangyu told me about the situation."

He exhaled: "Given the current circumstances, I really don’t know what to say to express my apology from my heart."

Huo Shanhe knew that some words were hard for Jiang Jingya, as a stepmother, to say, so he took on the role of the villain.

He promptly took off his belt: "Huo Gaodi, your wife is pregnant now; she thinks she’s holding an immunity card, so you will take the punishment for her. Our Huo family had never had someone with such low morality before.

You’re not young anymore; I’ll spare you some dignity by not calling your siblings to witness your miserable state."

With those words, the belt landed directly on Huo Gaodi.

At first, Jiang Jingya thought Huo Shanhe was doing it for show. But upon seeing Huo Gaodi’s miserable state, she realized Huo Shanhe was genuinely angry.

Afraid of causing real harm, she hurried over to stop him: "What are you doing, are you giving me a bitter show? Let me tell you, I will never forgive Duan Zhuangyu."
