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

Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Wishing Each Other Well from Now On

Zhou Dongping knew that this time, his friendship with Han Jingchen was really ruined by this disappointing eldest young lady.

At the same time, he also understood that such quick action must have been personally undertaken by Han Jingchen.

Cai Xiaoqin was a bit flustered, "Dongping, what should we do?"

Zhou Dongping’s expression was somewhat dejected; this time it was truly over, "What can we do? Dare to touch Jingchen’s precious darling, he wouldn’t give face to anyone."

He knew Han Jingchen’s character too well. Previously, he didn’t hold grudges against them because his bottom line wasn’t touched. Now the eldest daughter had thoroughly angered him.

Last time, he was already warned, no matter how much he wished, it was impossible to boldly plead again; he also knew well in his heart, even if he humbled himself, it might be to no avail.

Zhou Dongping shook his head at his wife, "Leave it to fate."

Cai Xiaoqin plopped down on the floor, "What sin have I committed, giving birth to such a thing, dreaming day in and day out, now look, harmed herself and the family."

Zhou Guyu felt a bit resentful about her mother’s endless complaints, "Mom, aren’t you afraid the neighbors don’t know our family’s troubles? If you had disciplined her earlier, today’s trouble wouldn’t have happened, isn’t it you who spoiled her?"

She understood very well, her parents saying they wouldn’t let the sister fantasize, wanting her to be pragmatic, but deep down they probably wished she could latch onto Uncle Han and acknowledge this faux kinship.

Now trouble’s arisen, and they’re resorting to these acts again, truly unbelievable.

After speaking, she ignored her mother’s curses and turned to leave the house.

Cai Xiaoqin didn’t expect the younger daughter to give no face at all, feeling embarrassed, just about to scold, but Zhou Guyu promptly made her escape.

She wanted to curse a few more words, but Zhou Dongping said coldly, "If you don’t want the neighbors to laugh at us, just be mindful."

He didn’t want to be the neighborhood’s joke.

But he underestimated Han Jingchen’s ruthlessness.

Zhou Dongping did not escape the consequences either; his very promising promotion ended up becoming just a lateral transfer, and it was clear to everyone that he was being marginalized at work.

For Zhou Dongping, feeling balanced was a joke, though he doesn’t blame Han Jingchen; after all, it was his own daughter’s foolishness in the first place, doing something that let someone down.

Over the years, he’d received considerable care from Han Jingchen; for the sake of his vanity, he indulged his eldest daughter’s behavior, always thinking they’d get lucky, but now it’s as if everything reverted to square one, truly a great loss for minimal gain.

On Han Jingchen’s end, he didn’t even accept the last apology call Zhou Dongping made, instead instructing Su Jingsong to relay that they’d part ways for good, becoming complete strangers.

He Jinxuan helped contact the workers, negotiated prices, and bought the necessary materials before finishing the car.

These days, Xinyan would always take time to check on the progress of the shop’s renovation.

Thankfully, Ling Tianze had officially joined her team, relieving her considerably.

This day when Xinyan arrived, she saw Ling Tianze was there as well, "Manage your time well yourself, don’t let it affect your high school exams."

Ling Tianze felt very grateful, "I will arrange it well, don’t worry."

Ling Tianze wasn’t lying; he had long mastered and memorized the knowledge. Since he promised to work with Xinyan, she started calculating his wages, clearly intending to help him, so how could he not do his work diligently?

Seeing his serious demeanor, Xinyan no longer worried.
