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

Chapter 735: Chapter 735: If You Want Something, You Have to Fight for It Yourself

They were talking when the phone in the living room rang: "Hello."

On the other end of the line, after confirming the person: "The person you asked me to find has been found. She’s now in Beijing."

Xue Hongjuan frowned and asked: "What else did you find out?"

The person replied: "For now, I’ve only found out that she’s in Beijing. Nothing else yet. It’s impossible to be that quick, and besides, you just asked me to help you find her whereabouts."

After a pause, they continued: "If you want to find out more, it’ll definitely cost extra."

Xue Hongjuan was straightforward: "Money’s not a problem. I just want her information."

After hanging up the phone, Song Bingjing spoke up: "So, you didn’t find anything?"

Xue Hongjuan shook her head: "The time was too short. We only found out she’s in Beijing, and there’s no other information yet. But, since there’s still time before school starts, once we find her, handling her won’t be a problem."

Why Xue Hongjuan was so determined to confront Xinyan was because she saw Mu Haoming invite her to dinner, chatting and laughing through it all, which she couldn’t tolerate.

At first, when people said she wasn’t as beautiful as Han Xinyan, she didn’t say anything but was already displeased inside. Still, she felt competing with someone from a small place wasn’t worth her trouble, so she hadn’t bothered with her.

But she never thought that she dared to approach Mu Haoming, who was someone she fancied, so she had to find an opportunity to teach her a memorable lesson.

If Xinyan knew her thoughts, she might shout to the sky: I’m innocent.

Having dinner with Mu Haoming was merely because Mr. Mu had him bring a medical book to her. Just in time for a meal, he didn’t want to take her back to the yard, so they went to the cafeteria together.

This led to Xue Hongjuan’s misunderstanding.

Previously, because Xue Hongjuan was warned by her cousin, she didn’t dare to overtly deal with Xinyan. Hence, she thought of taking advantage of the vacation, sending someone to East Province, planning to handle her locally. Unexpectedly, the person was sent, but she wasn’t found.

Seeing her finish, Song Bingjing lightly coughed and continued to ask: "If Mu Haoming finds out about this, he might get angry. Do you want to reconsider?"

Xue Hongjuan, being used to arrogance, said: "So what if he knows? Could he possibly turn against me for Han Xinyan?"

In a small courtyard in Beijing.

Gu Yingying looked excited: "Dad, are Uncle and Grandpa really coming back home?"

Gu Hongrui, holding a newspaper, didn’t look up and said flatly: "Yes, that’s what they said on the phone."

Gu Yingying, confirmed, felt a bit nervous and said: "Dad, where will they stay when they come back?"

Gu Hongrui looked up at his daughter: "Yingying, you know your uncle’s personality, your cousin completely takes after him. Dad still relies on the main branch, so you must not cause trouble."

Gu Yingying, hearing this, felt unhappy: "Dad, look at you saying that. I’m just concerned about Uncle and Grandpa. How could I be foolish enough to upset them?"

Thinking of something, she asked in a low voice: "Dad, didn’t my cousin say she was planning to return home before the year’s end? Why haven’t we received her call?"

Gu Hongrui felt his daughter seemed unusual: "Why are you suddenly interested in the matters of the main branch?"

Gu Yingying feigned calm: "When we lived together before, my cousin took good care of me. Naturally, I should pay attention to their matters."

Hearing her say this, Gu Hongrui found it quite normal.

Seeing Gu Hongrui not pursue the subject further, Gu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.

Her interest in the main branch’s matters was certainly driven by her own thoughts.

After all, there were many from the Gu Family’s collateral branches, and they weren’t the only ones. If she wanted something, she’d have to strive for it herself.
