Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1158: Sorry, I Lost My Composure

Feng Ruyan heard Huo Jingrui’s rebuke: “Huo Jingrui, how can you do that?”

Ye Wenhao’s face flashed with displeasure: “Huo Jingrui, who is she?”

Huo Jingrui knew his second brother-in-law was angry, but he had a clear conscience: “Her name is Feng Ruyan, she’s with the cultural troupe of the army.”

Seeing that he had no intention of further introducing her, Feng Ruyan said, “My uncle-in-law is his leader, I…”

She had originally wanted to say that she and Huo Jingrui had known each other for many years and so on, but she was still a young woman after all, and still cared about her dignity.

She didn’t continue, instead she stared at Yunyi with a hostile look.

If looks could kill, Yunyi would have been dead cold by now.

Yunyi had no intention of indulging her: “Comrade Feng, do you have a problem with me? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Feng Ruyan felt terribly suffocated and wanted to explode, but this was on a bus.

In her heart, she started blaming Political Commissar Guan: for something this big, her uncle-in-law hadn’t leaked a single word to her?

She couldn’t help but even blame her own aunt, Feng Yuelan.

Looking at Chuyunyi’s fresh, refined face, she suddenly felt a bit inferior. Seeing everyone on the bus watching her, she reacted quickly: “Sorry, I lost my composure. It’s mainly because this news shocked me too much. After all, I’d never heard that Comrade Huo had a girlfriend before.”

Seeing her reaction, Yunyi immediately understood. That Political Commissar Guan probably hadn’t told his family at all about Huo Jingrui’s marriage, which was why Feng Ruyan was reacting like this.

At this moment, the way Feng Ruyan looked at Huo Jingrui was as if she were looking at a heartless cad; yet Huo Jingrui had never given her any response. No matter what she said, she’d only be a joke.

Afraid she would lose control again and only add to the laughter, she hurriedly got off the bus when it pulled into the next stop.

The moment she jumped off, she headed straight for the phone booth not far away. She desperately needed an outlet.

She dialed the number, and as soon as she heard someone pick up on the other end, she said, “Why didn’t you tell me that Huo Jingrui got married?”

Once Feng Yuelan recognized her niece’s voice, she said, “Ruyan, what did you say?”

“I said, Huo Jingrui got married. Why didn’t anyone tell me?”

“When did this happen?”

“You don’t know?”

“I’ve been here taking care of your second sister during her postpartum confinement, and only got back to the unit the day before yesterday. I really don’t know much about what you’re talking about.”

Hearing this, Feng Ruyan knew there was no point in going on. She hung up the phone directly, and tears started slipping down her face uncontrollably.

Ever since she’d entered the army, she had liked Huo Jingrui, who was still a deputy battalion commander at the time. Apart from working, she was busy chasing after Huo Jing’s footsteps, thinking that with her uncle-in-law Guan Yueyang there, she would eventually make her way into Huo Jingrui’s heart.

Her uncle-in-law had told her more than once to give up, but she figured with her aunt around, he would at least help her. She never imagined that her uncle-in-law would deliberately keep it from her.

Not only did he not deliver a letter for her, he even hid it from her aunt.

Ever since Feng Ruyan got off the bus, Ye Wenhao had found Huo Jingrui an eyesore.

After they got off, he addressed him directly by name: “Huo Jingrui, what’s the deal with that woman?”

But he still cared about his sister, so he kept his voice very low.

Huo Jingrui didn’t hide anything: “Political Commissar Guan’s wife came to me several times, trying to matchmake us. I turned her down. Later, I kept running into Feng Ruyan by chance. After it happened enough times, I understood what she meant. I directly and explicitly rejected her at the time.

I’ve told Yi’er about this. She hasn’t met her, but she knows about it.

Hearing this, and seeing his sister nod at him, his mood finally eased a little: “You’d better cherish my sister. If you ever wrong her, our Ye Family will never let you off.”
