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

Chapter 921: Chapter 921: We’re Not Close, You Don’t Need to Explain

The figures of Xinyan and He Jinxuan vanished into the front courtyard, only then did the others come back to their senses.

Qu Aiting, somewhat unconvinced, said, "Who are they trying to scare?"

At this moment, Mei Xueshan spoke up, "Didn’t you say it so convincingly? Then why didn’t you speak up just now? You have a mouth that causes trouble, just moving your lips can ruin someone’s reputation. Why were you silent just now?"

These words infuriated Qu Aiting. She hadn’t said anything wrong; it was clearly Mei Xueshan who had malicious intentions. Yet, Qu Aiting couldn’t explain because no one would believe her.

It was the woman beside Qu Aiting who tugged at her, "Aiting, our family will be here soon. Let’s go inside and order. We can’t delay business."

Qu Aiting also knew she had acted impulsively today. Whatever she said, Minru’s situation couldn’t be reversed. She felt it was unfair for Minru, who had always been deceived by that wicked woman, Mei Xueshan.

She had advised Minru countless times, but Minru always thought she was being alarmist and even urged her to let go of her prejudice against Mei Xueshan.

She really did her best, but Minru seemed bewitched, no amount of advice could reach her.

Now look at this, she’s not only implicated herself but dragged her own father into it as well. Old Sir Jian had been distinguished all his life, only to end up like this.

Though this mess was caused by Jian Minru herself, she wouldn’t have gone so mad without Mei Xueshan’s instigation.

The Jian Family had been kind to her. If it weren’t for their help back then, her parents would have faced great suffering. So, she truly felt it was unfair for Jian Minru and sincerely felt sorry for Old Sir Jian.

Today, coincidentally catching Mei Xueshan blocking Lu Changjun to talk, she couldn’t suppress her anger. This vile woman used others’ trust to ruin their lives and still had the nerve to pretend innocence, it was nauseating.

But she was too good at pretending. Even though she could see through her true colors, she was still taken in by her.

Thinking about her family, she stared at Mei Xueshan and said, "A fox will always show its tail. I hope your luck continues."

After speaking, she looked at Lu Changjun, who stood there expressionless, "What I said today is the truth, believe it or not."

Saying this, she turned around with the people beside her and entered the inner courtyard.

Lu Changjun watched Qu Aiting walk away before pulling back his gaze.

Glancing at Mei Xueshan not far from him, he said, "Minru having a friend like you is truly bad luck for eight lifetimes. From now on, let’s pretend we don’t know each other."

He’d long thought this woman was pretentious, and it seemed there were many things he didn’t know.

He knew very well what kind of person Qu Aiting was. After all, she grew up in the same courtyard. She was straightforward and never talked nonsense.

Even though he and Minru had split up, some things still had to be done.

Narrowing his eyes at Mei Xueshan, he made up his mind.

Seeing his demeanor, Mei Xueshan panicked internally: could it be that Lu Changjun, this blockhead, really listened to what Qu Aiting said earlier? "Brother Lu, listen to me."

But Lu Changjun gave her no chance, "We’re not close, there’s no need for explanations."

After saying this, he strode inside.

The main actors of the spectacle were mostly scattered, and so the onlookers dispersed as well.

Soon, the front courtyard was left with only Mei Xueshan, her face pale and her heart in turmoil.

Indeed, she had heard from others that Lu Changjun would be coming to the Yin Family Private Kitchen, so she came to bump into him. But she didn’t expect things to go so wrong, encountering that mad woman Qu Aiting, ruining her plans.

Today clearly wasn’t going to work. Trying to bump into him again would only make Lu Changjun more disgusted.

So, she turned and left the Yin Family Private Kitchen, having to think of another way.

She was aware that Lu Changjun came back for Jian Minru’s matter. Now that Minru’s affair was settled, beyond redemption, Lu Changjun would surely leave soon.

She was getting older and desperately wanted to settle down. Lu Changjun’s family background was the most suitable, she wanted to take a chance.

She just didn’t expect the opening to be so unfavorable.

Thinking about Qu Aiting, who had sabotaged her plan, a cold glint flashed in her eyes: Qu Aiting, our enmity is sealed, just you wait.
