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

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1090: Let’s Talk About What Happened at Home First

The Xue Family quickly assembled, with everyone arriving promptly.

Mr. Xue didn’t disclose the real reason, only said that a large tree will branch out.

Everyone was puzzled, exchanging uncertain glances.

Xue Zhibin, the most favored by Mr. Xue, had a bit more courage than his peers: "Grandpa, what exactly happened?"

Mr. Xue’s expression was solemn: "You don’t need to ask much. Tomorrow morning, come back here. I will prepare a portion of the family assets for each household. Absolute fairness isn’t possible, so you’ll have to rely on your own luck for random allocation.

Alright, I’ve said all I need. After work tomorrow noon, pick up your items from the old residence and quickly spread the news. Don’t ask why, I won’t harm you."

No one dared to ask further. The old residence was no longer habitable, so they hurried back to their respective courtyards to pack belongings, preparing to move with the allocated assets.

Once everyone left, Mr. Xue collapsed onto the sofa, looking unusually unwell.

He pondered for a long time, then lifted his hand to pick up the phone next to him and dialed a number: "Hello, come pick me up."

A response came from the other end: "Okay."

Upon returning to the Capital, Xinyan and Han Jingchen did not go home immediately but first went to register with the relevant authorities.

After that was taken care of, they returned together to their suburban home.

As soon as their car stopped, He Jinxuan briskly approached, inspecting Xinyan: "Did you get hurt anywhere?"

Xinyan smiled: "Don’t be nervous, we’re fine. Let’s talk inside."

Once they entered the courtyard, they saw Gu Wanqing standing in the living room doorway: "Was everything smooth?"

She had wanted to say ’What took you so long? I was worried sick,’ but understood that with such a big event, they would have returned sooner if they could.

Han Jingchen hurriedly stepped forward: "Why are you standing at the door? It’s so cold, what if you catch a chill?"

Gu Wanqing responded with a touch of indignation: "If I catch cold, you’ll feel bad. What else could happen."

Han Jingchen knew his wife’s heart was worried about him and their daughter.

He wanted to say something, but his wife pushed him aside: "Yanyan, come here quickly, let mom see if you’re hurt."

Xinyan quickened her pace with a smile: "Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry."

As they chatted, they entered the living room.

After Sister Chen served the tea and left, Gu Wanqing urgently asked: "What’s the situation exactly? Why were you gone all night?"

At that moment, Han Jingchen and Xinyan spoke at the same time: "Let’s first talk about what happened at home."

Gu Wanqing paused: "How did you know?"

Han Jingchen glanced around the courtyard: "The courtyard looks like it’s been hosed down."

Xinyan: "I can smell a faint scent of blood in the air."

Gu Wanqing didn’t intend to hide anything from them, but she looked up at He Jinxuan, indicating for her to explain.

He Jinxuan nodded at her mother-in-law: "Last night, people stationed in the shadows were decoyed away, and then someone climbed over the courtyard wall. After finishing my tasks yesterday, I knew you hadn’t returned, so I stayed here.

I was just being cautious, but someone did eventually come."

Han Jingchen anxiously looked at Gu Wanqing: "Wanqing, are you hurt?"

Gu Wanqing reassured him, patting his hand: "I’m sitting here perfectly fine, thanks to Jinxuan. If it weren’t for him, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Han Jingchen’s face darkened: "Where are those people now?"

He Jinxuan glanced towards the exterior: "We threw them into the utility room next door. Originally, I wanted to call the police, but I was concerned about disrupting your plans."

Han Jingchen stood up: "Let’s go and take a look."

He Jinxuan accompanied him next door, while Xinyan was left behind with Gu Wanqing: "Mom had Sister Chen make chicken soup, have a bowl first. The grudges of the Gu Family need to be avenged, but not urgently.

In the future, always prioritize your safety and health, so mom won’t worry, okay?"

Xinyan hooked her arm around Gu Wanqing’s: "Mom, I know. Yesterday, I originally planned to come back with them, but when some opportunities are missed, it takes much more effort to find them again.

Moreover, Grandpa and Grandma can’t stay in East Province forever, so those people need to be dealt with swiftly."
