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

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Meeting the Long-Term Follower from Years Ago

Han Jingchen picked up the toy on the ground and pulled the person onto the chair: "I’ve already sent someone to fetch them, you’ll see them tomorrow."

Gu Wanqing buried her head in the standing Han Jingchen’s embrace: "Jingchen, tell me, tell me, that, the matter from back then..."

She suddenly felt a bit scared. In case they brought the person back and they knew nothing, then the Gu Family had been targeted for years without even knowing the reason, which was very frustrating.

Han Jingchen patted Gu Wanqing’s back: "Don’t worry. Even if the person we bring can’t provide any useful information, we still have the Chu, Li, Miao, and Xue families to deal with. I’ll find a way to get them to talk."

Gu Wanqing hugged Han Jingchen more tightly this time: "Jingchen, my greatest fear is that they’ll end up breaking the pot, revealing their purpose for harming the Gu Family, then we might never find peace."

After hearing his wife’s words, Han Jingchen embraced her tenderly: "Don’t worry, this time the matter is handled by the An Family. Everyone in contact with those people is trustworthy, nothing will happen."

Gu Wanqing had no time to allow herself any weakness, bearing the Gu Family’s responsibilities, she did not dare to relax her vigilance even a little.

But now seeing the end result in sight, with her loved one and daughter sharing her burden, she was no longer alone. The tight string snapped and couldn’t hold any longer.

Han Jingchen understood the pressure his wife was under and empathized with her. He knew crying would help her, so he gently patted her back for comfort.

Their conversation was overheard by Xinyan, who became even more irritated with those who resorted to unscrupulous means for profit after this incident.

Her mother was right. If it weren’t for them, the Gu Family would not have gone through so much. And if not for them, her uncle wouldn’t have lost his life at a young age. Since they caused it, it was up to them to keep the secret.

She didn’t interrupt them and instead turned back to her room, closed the door, and entered the space.

The Collection of Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases book didn’t just have recipes for curing diseases; the last pages were full of harmful concoctions.

If they’re not going to behave, then she won’t hold back.

Thus, she found a few concoctions that would let them live, but only just.

Naturally, she wouldn’t use the same recipe on all of them. Otherwise, even a fool would see what’s going on.

She wanted them to see that someone was intervening, but to find no evidence, forcing them to live without dignity, which might be worse than death for them.

That night, Han Jingchen received the news—they had arrived.

He originally planned to see them tomorrow, but Gu Wanqing couldn’t wait any longer. She wanted to find out once and for all what happened back then that almost cost the Gu Family their lives.

Xinyan, with her keen senses, knew the moment there was movement in the living room.

She knew He Jinxuan was tasked by her dad to fetch someone, so when she heard the familiar sound of the car outside, she stepped out of her room.

Not just her parents were curious; she was curious too, about what caused those families to go after the Gu Family so viciously.

When He Jinxuan brought the person in, Xinyan was stunned.

The person recognized Xinyan too and smiled at her: "Miss, do you remember me?"

Xinyan approached with a smile: "Yes, yes, please have a seat."

Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing exchanged glances and shook their heads, unclear about the situation.

He Jinxuan was also a bit puzzled, wondering how this person knew Yanyan?

Xinyan explained with a smile: "Last year, when I went out with some classmates, on our way back, I happened to help Grandpa Liang’s grandson when his car broke down."

Liang Dahai objected: "It was more than a small favor; if it weren’t for you, my grandson might not have made it. The Liang Family will remember your kindness for life."

Han Jingchen had heard Xinyan mention it, but he didn’t pay much attention to it afterward. Who would have thought there was this connection?

Smiling, he invited the person to the seat of honor and served tea. Only then did Han Jingchen speak: "Uncle Liang, I’m sure Jinxuan has told you about our identity on the way."

Liang Dahai looked at Gu Wanqing: "Are you really from the Gu Family?"

Gu Wanqing turned back to her room, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to Liang Dahai: "I’m sure you’ll recognize this."

Seeing the item, Liang Dahai’s eyes welled up with tears: "Yes, yes, this is the token of the main branch of the Gu Family."

He carefully examined Gu Wanqing, choking up afterward: "I never expected to see someone from the Gu Family again. Over the years, I’ve been inquiring but never heard any news about the Gu Family. It was like they vanished. I wondered if I’d ever see any of the main branch’s descendants in my lifetime."

Gu Wanqing quickly spoke up: "Times have changed, we can’t refer to it like that anymore."

Liang Dahai realized his excitement got the better of him: "Right, right, right, how silly of me."
