Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068: Han Jingchen’s Scheming

Everyone’s gaze turned to the Yuan Family, but they hadn’t planned on giving a gift, so naturally, they hadn’t prepared a gift money.

However, with so many people watching, Yuanyuan couldn’t stand it any longer, so she took out one yuan from her pocket and walked towards the table at the canteen entrance where the gift list was being recorded.

The commotion here was naturally overheard by those over there. The person responsible for keeping the accounts had quite a sense of humor: "Which of Yuan’s elders is giving this one yuan gift? Oh, just write the elder’s name?"

Feeling extreme regret and hating herself for acting impulsively, Yuanyuan noticed everyone staring at her.

At this point, an aunt at the factory spoke up: "I know this one, she’s Xiao Yuan’s aunt."

The person recording the gift said, "Please kindly give me the name, so I can make the entry."

Yuanyuan’s hand was trembling with the money. If she had known this would happen, she surely wouldn’t have come.

But with no way out, she had to say, "Yuan Yuying."

The person wrote down Yuan Yuying’s name, then reached out to take the money. But as soon as they had it, they loudly announced: "Xiao Yuan’s aunt Yuan Yuying is gifting one yuan."

The declaration was loud enough that even guests inside the canteen could hear it. Instantly, everyone was gossiping: "The Yuan Family is here, probably causing a scene again."

"This Yuan Family is really shameless. After breaking ties, they still show up on such a joyous day to stir up trouble. I really don’t know what they’re thinking."

"What else could they think? On such a big day, it’s hard to chase people away. They’re just here to freeload and cause trouble."

"You know, Xiao Yuan’s dad left only one child. Instead of helping, the Yuan Family is always trying to take advantage. Having relatives like this is a real misfortune."

At this point, the voice of the account keeper, filled with impatience, called out: "Yuan Family elders at the back, please hurry up. After you, the factory people need to give gifts too. It’s best not to split up the accounts."

Fearing repercussions at the factory, Yuan Dahong quickly stepped forward and pulled out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket: "Yuan Dahong, ten yuan."

None of the other Yuan Family members followed. The person in charge of registration glanced outward: "So this ten yuan is a combined gift from all of you, correct?"

These words ignited anger, not only in Yuan Dahong but also in those Yuan Family members behind him, especially Yuan Dahong’s second son: "What’s the matter with you? You’re just here to keep accounts. Why are you meddling so much?"

Afterwards, he turned to the following Yuan Family members: "Let’s go, we’ve already recorded our gift. Let’s head in and find a seat."

At this moment, Han Jingchen and Sun Baowei approached together. Han Jingchen didn’t give the Yuan Family a pleasant look, his whole demeanor making them refrain from causing further trouble.

Han Jingchen directly pointed to a table at the back: "If you’re here to congratulate, then sit there and enjoy the meal. If you intend to stir up trouble, think twice."

Yuan Dahong’s second son wanted to retort but was stopped by Yuan Dahong himself, realizing Han Jingchen’s imposing presence was intimidating. He had heard before that Yuan Yikai’s wife’s uncles were both soldiers, especially the second uncle, who was rumored to hold a significant rank.

He had only just learned that the banquet was organized by the Yue Family, confirming the gossip about the son’s union.

Taking his people, he sat at the last table, though his expression soured when he recognized acquaintances seated at the front.

This had, of course, been prearranged by Han Jingchen to keep the Yuan Family in line. Should they cause a scene at the wedding, their jobs would not be settled.

That front table didn’t just have Yuan Dahong’s factory leaders but also the leader of Yuanyuan’s husband. They now deeply regretted listening to their wives and coming to this meal.

Yuanyuan’s husband feared that today’s events might give his boss a bad impression, so he even added an extra ten yuan as gift money.

Thanks to Han Jingchen’s arrangements, Yuan Yikai and Sun Zhenling’s wedding banquet was full of joy and festive blessings.
