Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: Sorry About That, Made a Fool of Ourselves
The person outside didn’t reply, just paused for a moment before continuing to knock.
He Jinxuan walked over, thinking it was some kids playing pranks.
But when he opened the door, he found the wife of a colleague standing there: "Sister-in-law, do you need something?"
Normally, he didn’t interact much with this sister-in-law, but he often heard about her deeds.
The woman looked around: "Captain He, I need your help with something."
As soon as she said this, He Jinxuan knew what it meant.
Before he could speak, the woman saw Xinyan in the yard, turned to enter uninvited: "This must be your wife’s sister, she’s so pretty. Captain He, you truly have good fortune."
Seeing He Jinxuan’s expression, Xinyan knew this person was trouble: "And you are?"
The woman reached out to grab Xinyan’s hand, but Xinyan dodged it.
Having missed, she looked a bit embarrassed: "Oh dear, did I scare you? My husband Guo Xiaodong works in the machine maintenance group and gets along well with Captain He. I just came out for a walk after dinner and thought I’d stop by to say hello."
Xinyan nodded slightly at her: "Hello, Sister Guo."
Sister Guo looked Xinyan up and down several times: "Girl, you seem like a sensible and easy-going person."
Xinyan glanced over at He Jinxuan standing opposite and thought, she’d probably just reveal her purpose for coming now.
Sure enough, just as she was hesitating about how to respond, Sister Guo changed the subject: "Girl, Sister-in-law encountered a little issue, could you help me out?"
He Jinxuan didn’t want his wife to be troubled, so he quickly stepped in front of Xinyan: "Sister Guo, if you’re here to borrow money, I’m really sorry. My second brother wanted to start a small business and borrowed from me."
Sister Guo was dumbfounded: "Are you serious? How could it be so coincidental, you’re not just making an excuse not to lend, are you?"
Xinyan had never seen someone so unreasonable in borrowing money before, so she turned and went inside. Soon she returned with a lending note and handed it directly to He Jinxuan.
He Jinxuan took it and presented it to Sister Guo: "There’s no need for me to lie."
The reason for showing the promissory note was also to let those eavesdropping outside spread the word around, to prevent more people like Sister Guo from coming by.
Before Sister Guo could say anything else, a man’s voice came from outside, cursing: "Zhao Xuefang, have some shame."
The man came in, apologized to He Jinxuan and Xinyan: "Sorry, this is embarrassing for you."
After that, he dragged the woman out of the courtyard.
Xinyan looked at He Jinxuan: "What’s going on?"
He Jinxuan glanced toward the courtyard entrance: "That Sister Guo is good at her job, but it’s like she’s brainwashed by her own family. Whatever happens to them, she takes it upon herself.
Whenever there’s anything valuable at home, it ends up with her own family. Even with the money at home, if Guo Xiaodong hadn’t seen where it was headed, and stopped giving her the money, they couldn’t have continued living like this.
But even so, Sister Guo is quite the character. As long as her family asks, she’ll do anything to oblige. If she can’t get the money at home, she’ll borrow from the residential compound.
After it happened a few times and got exposed, Guo Xiaodong could only pay up to cover it, but she got quite the reputation in the compound.
She probably came today after doing her homework in advance."
Xinyan looked at He Jinxuan glance toward the Lu family’s courtyard and immediately understood.
Sister Guo really was calculating, thinking since she and Fu Guangying were both new brides in the compound and unfamiliar with its affairs, they’d be too embarrassed to say no, making it easier to borrow money from them.
As to why she chose their place, maybe she compared her to Fu Guangying and decided she was the better option.
It was truly speechless, there really were all kinds of people.
Anyway, it didn’t cause any loss, and the two didn’t take it to heart.
Xinyan would be leaving tomorrow, so He Jinxuan closed the door and pulled her into the house: "Let me help you pack your things."
Xinyan watched him help her pack, reminding her about the details, and thought: being cared for by a loved one was really nice.
