Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: If He Dares, He’ll Be Taught a Lesson in No Time

Huo Jingrui isn’t afraid of him harboring malice and retaliating against Yunyi.

As long as he dares, Yunyi will make him pay at any moment.

When Yunyi saw the lunchbox in Huo Jingrui’s hand, she realized he was there to deliver her breakfast.

She took another glance at He Xiaomiao standing not far away: ”Comrade He, I really don’t want to intervene in your family affairs, but if I hadn’t pulled your daughter back in time just now, you might have already become a murderer.

I’m not asking for sincere thanks, but you can’t be unreasonable. Since you were the one who disrespected others first, I do have a few words to remind you.

As a grown man, how do you have the face to live in the factory without even knowing how to protect your own daughter?

Isn’t it shameful to take back the words you said before?

You say your stepdaughter is in poor health. How did you see that? As a doctor and neighbor, I need to remind you that your stepdaughter does not appear weak at all. Instead, it’s your newborn daughter who is chronically malnourished. You’re really a good stepfather.”

After speaking, she patted He Xiaomiao on the shoulder: ”You can’t rely on your father. You need to stand up yourself, otherwise, you’ll only be at others’ mercy.”

Afterward, she mouthed to her: ”Leaving isn’t a bad thing. Remember to set your conditions clearly.”

She wouldn’t interfere more since she only had a few encounters with He Yimiao. If she couldn’t stand up for herself, no one else could help, as after all, this was someone else’s family matter.

Huo Jingrui looked at the door with long cracks and spoke coldly to He Yikui: ”Fix the door for me and repaint it.”

He Yikui didn’t dare not comply: ”Okay, okay, okay, I’ll find someone to come and repair it.”

Seeing him being sensible, Huo Jingrui pulled Yunyi inside, but before entering, he turned and said: ”Don’t cause any more disturbances and affect others.”

He Yikui felt incredibly stifled, but he didn’t dare utter a word of protest.

Huo Jingrui’s protective gesture toward his fiancée made the women present envy: ”This Vice Factory Director Huo treats Doctor Chu really well, not only delivering breakfast but also protecting her like this.”

”You should see how beautiful Doctor Chu is. She’s the apple of Vice Factory Director Huo’s eye.”

”Xiaochu really has good fortune.”

”Alas, that’s something we ordinary-looking people can only envy.”

He Yikui didn’t dare to loudly scold his daughter anymore, and after hearing what Yunyi said, he looked at his stepdaughter, then at his own daughter, feeling quite guilty.

Meanwhile, Bai Juhua didn’t dare to make a sound, as she indeed acted unscrupulously and got exposed in front of so many neighbors, fearing that He Yikui would settle accounts with her.

He Xiaomiao now realized she couldn’t compromise, and since there was no turning back from going to the countryside, she needed to strive for maximum benefit for herself: ”Dad, since the matter of going to the countryside can’t be changed, for the sake of your face, consider it me repaying your kindness in raising me, I agree.

However, since I’m going in place of He Yuling, the family must compensate me.”

He Yikui understood that if today’s matter wasn’t handled well, he might have no chance of promotion in the future: ”That’s only natural.”

He Xiaomiao said flatly: ”Aside from the countryside subsidy given by the Youth Office, you must compensate me with another sum of money and prepare all the necessary things for going to the countryside. Remember, don’t even think about fooling me, or we’ll all go down together, and I mean it.”

These words frightened everyone in the He family, and Bai Juhua, as the stepmother, quickly assured: ”Don’t worry, we will prepare everything properly and won’t fool you.”
