Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 520: Chapter 520 I’m Just Curious

Everyone took their seats, and Huo Jiayuan kindly poured Yunyi a glass of brown sugar water, "Fourth Sister-in-law, have a drink to warm up."

Yunyi smiled and took it, "Thank you."

Once everyone was seated, the thick-skinned Huo Weiyu said, "Yunyi, how did you end up taking a fancy to my iceberg of a brother?"

Huo Jingrui had just finished putting his things away when he heard his elder sister’s words, "Big sis, I am your real brother, remember? I haven’t even married her yet, please don’t scare her away."

At his remarks, the entire room burst into laughter.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Huo Weiyu chuckled apologetically, "Sorry, Old Four, I was just curious."

But even as she said this, her eyes were practically shining when she looked at Yunyi.

Yunyi replied with a smile, "He is capable and responsible, and he’s also very considerate towards me. Once we saw eye to eye, we confirmed our relationship."

Huo Jingrui looked at Yunyi with a smile in his eyes, "It’s said that ’a match made in heaven is linked by a thread from a thousand miles away,’ and besides, Yi’er and I had already met in Beijing before."

Huo Weiyu and Gao Ruyi exchanged looks. It seemed there was a story behind this.

Huo Jingrui didn’t feel that there was anything to hide, so he briefly narrated how basketball had hit Yunyi and how she had saved him.

Of course, she didn’t mention anything about Tang City or the joint operation to catch a criminal, as these were confidential matters.

Huo Jiayuan said in an admiring tone, "Usually it’s the hero saving the beauty, but you guys did it the other way around, didn’t you?"

Gao Ruyi chimed in, "This is what they call fate; everything is arranged by the heavens."

The news of the Huo Family’s fourth son bringing home a partner didn’t take long to spread throughout the compound.

It went from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred; it wasn’t long before the news reached the Pan Family.

Pan Huixin happened to be off work that day, and she had yet to cool down from the embarrassment Huo Jingrui had caused her last time. Upon hearing that Huo Jingrui brought a partner home, she couldn’t sit still anymore.

She made a phone call to her mother’s workplace, asking her to take leave and come home right away.

When Fang Minjuan arrived home in a flurry, she and her daughter whispered conspiratorially for a bit. Then, they left the house.

Before long, Fang Minjuan arrived at the Huo Family’s door with several other women from the compound.

Jiang Jingya was slightly displeased, but since visitors were guests, it wasn’t polite to turn them away. "My, what wind has blown you all over here today?"

One of the women close to Fang Minjuan spoke up, "We heard your fourth son has brought his partner home?"

As she spoke, she craned her neck trying to get a look inside. "We’ve watched your fourth son grow up; we definitely have to come and take a closer look for ourselves."

Jiang Jingya chuckled lightly, "Our Huo Family’s daughter-in-law doesn’t need any of you to trouble yourselves. After all, when your own daughters-in-law first visited your homes, no outsiders came looking to be snubbed, did they?"

This comment made the woman’s face change abruptly. "We came over with good intentions, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Jingya laughed outright, "You’re quite amusing. But if you don’t understand, feel free to go home and ask your own man. I have to entertain my future daughter-in-law today and don’t have time to explain it to you."

The woman speaking was uneducated and infamous for gaffes in the compound due to bad company.

Today Fang Minjuan had recruited her, but she likely didn’t realize she was being used. But that was none of Jiang Jingya’s concern, and she was sure the woman’s own family would clarify things for her.

With the conversation having reached this point, it naturally wasn’t possible for them to go inside. Although they were now belatedly realizing the situation, Jiang Jingya’s bluntness made them somewhat unhappy.

Standing in the back, a woman with a slight connection to Fang Minjuan said, "Ignoring such a beautiful and capable girl like Huixin from the Pan Family and instead bringing someone from the countryside, could it be that you’re embarrassed by her and that’s why you’re blocking us from going inside?"

Jiang Jingya was about to speak when Yunyi stood up from the couch and gracefully walked towards them. "Hello everyone, I am Chuyunyi, Huo Jingrui’s fiancée. I really appreciate you all taking time out of your busy schedules to come and check on me. Are you all satisfied with my appearance and behavior?"

The women who had followed Fang Minjuan were all taken aback, and one of them who had been silent clapped her hands together. "Good heavens, no wonder she caught the eye of the Huo Family’s fourth son, this girl is truly beautiful."

But as soon as she had spoken, she received a glare from Fang Minjuan.
