Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 996 - 1000: Yuan Zining Files a Complaint

After Yunyi finished eating, she first went to see Commander Zhan, who had already been transferred to the ward, to make sure he was okay, only then did she leave the ward amidst the repeated thanks of the family.

When she left the hospital, Director Guo personally escorted her to the door, offering repeated thanks before allowing them to board the jeep sent by the troops to pick them up.

Upon learning that Yunyi had previously been a doctor at the Workers’ Hospital, Director Guo was tempted to invite her to work at the military hospital.

But recalling what Commissar Hong had said earlier, he swallowed his words and settled for asking, "Comrade Chu, if the hospital encounters difficult patients in the future, may we ask for your help?"

Yunyi knew that if the doctor who could perform the surgery hadn’t gone back home for a funeral, and the city’s experts hadn’t happened to be called away to a seminar, today’s incident wouldn’t have occurred. Still, she replied, "Of course."

Director Guo was all smiles upon receiving Yunyi’s affirmative response, "Comrade Chu, I won’t say more polite words, but we’ve prepared some nutritional supplements as a token from our hospital, please accept them."

Yunyi originally wanted to refuse, but before she could voice her refusal, Director Guo had already backed off quite a distance, waving goodbye to her as he walked back into the building, looking like he feared Yunyi might return the gift.

So Yunyi had no choice but to accept it.

Back at the family compound, Yunyi picked up Yuan Zining from the Lü family and thanked Deputy Regimental Commander Lü before leading him back home.

Yuan Zining frequently glanced at Yunyi, his expression quite conflicted.

Yunyi chuckled at him, "What’s wrong with you?"

Yuan Zining took a deep breath, "Someone was speaking ill of you this afternoon, master aunt."

Yunyi was curious, "What did they say?"

Yuan Zining feared upsetting Yunyi and remained silent for a while, "Don’t worry, master aunt won’t get angry, just tell me what you heard. If you don’t, then I’ll be kept in the dark forever, right?"

Yuan Zining thought about it and realized she had a point; if he didn’t speak up, his master aunt would be tricked like a fool.

So he recounted everything he had heard that afternoon in detail.

Yunyi sneered inwardly: No matter where you are, there’s always a few rotten apples.

Yuan Zining’s reminder made her recall that the day they had approached the leaders to discuss things, they happened to catch the leaders during a meeting, forcing them to leave.

Since Commander Qiao’s wife loves stirring trouble, it’s time to settle both old and new scores.

Meanwhile, at the Lü family’s place, they were discussing the matter too: "How can they be so gossipy, daring to say anything?"

Deputy Commander Lü remarked, "I heard a bit from Xiaowei after returning home, but Mrs. Du is really something, even though she doesn’t know Deputy Commander Huo’s wife, she speaks quite harshly."

Little did he know, Wan Ruhua knew a bit more: "That Mrs. Du isn’t a good person; otherwise, she wouldn’t hang around with Commander Qiao’s wife, Luo Xiaofang. She just wants to marry off her burly, ugly daughter to Deputy Commander Huo.

It’s obvious that she’s foul-mouthed because she heard about Deputy Commander Huo’s marriage and wants to ruin Yunyi’s reputation, showing just how malicious she is.

She doesn’t even consider the impact on her son, Du Liang’s future, in order to promote her ugly daughter.

You’ll see, although my sister-in-law seems gentle and nonchalant, once she’s provoked, they’ll regret it deeply."
