Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Ridiculed for Social Climbing and Ending Up Covered in Scandal

When Huo Jingrui received the news, he smirked coldly. Someone had upset his sister and made her sad. Regardless of the reason, there was no excuse for that.

As for the lady of the Gong Family, knowing full well about Du Shujian’s situation and yet still daring to intervene—well, they couldn’t be blamed for taking action.

Your own sister is to be cherished. If anyone dares to make her unhappy, they shouldn’t expect to have an easy time themselves.

Initially, the scandal about Du Shujian and Gong Fangyue being caught in a compromising position caused quite a stir, directly affecting Du Shujian’s career. It wasn’t until the two families set a wedding date that things calmed down and he returned to work as normal. But now, with trouble brewing for the Gong Family, Du Shujian’s immediate supervisor and many colleagues witnessing such chaos at the wedding, it’s likely his work life won’t be smooth sailing moving forward.

People won’t care what struggles he faced initially; they’ll only mock how reaching for a higher branch left him covered in mess.

Knowing their lives wouldn’t be easy, Huo Jingrui felt reassured.

Elsewhere, Gui Kairong was on a business trip to Hei Province, and he made a detour to Yunyi’s place to visit his sister.

When Yunyi arrived around noon, she noticed an old Shanghai sedan parked at the gate. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard Gui Kailan’s laughter.

Seeing Yunyi come in, Gui Kairong exclaimed excitedly, ”Yunyi, thank you.”

He truly hadn’t expected his sister to recover so well—not only had she become more cheerful, but she had also regained her vibrant spirit. This was the day he had waited and hoped for, for so long.

Yunyi smiled slightly, ”Mainly because Sister Kailan was willing to cooperate, with Grandma Su’s excellent care, and Jiayuan being a little chatterbox to keep her company. All in all, Sister Kailan’s hardship has come to an end.”

Gui Kairong heartily agreed: ”I’m here to handle some matters in Hei Province, which might take about ten days or so. I’ll come back to pick her up afterward.”

Yunyi nodded, ”No problem. Just as well, I’ll prepare the medicine she needs to take with her and mail it to her monthly from now on.”

Gui Kairong thanked her, ”I appreciate it.”

Yunyi waved her hand, indicating it was no trouble.

After they finished discussing this, Gui Kairong remembered the items sent by the Huo Family. ”By the way, the Huo Family also sent some things over. Let me bring them in.”

Huo Jiayuan, upon hearing that something had been sent over from home, followed him out.

Gui Kairong took two bags from the back of the car. ”Are both of these?”

Gui Kairong nodded, ”Your mom said one is for you, and one is for Yunyi. They’ve got names on them; you’ll recognize them immediately.”

At this point, Huo Jiayuan remarked, ”Nothing for my brother?”

Just as Huo Jingrui entered the yard, he caught this remark, ”What’s not mine?”

Huo Jiayuan pointed at the two bags in Gui Kairong’s hands, ”These bags contain things they prepared, one for me and one for Fourth Sister-in-law. It seems there’s nothing for you.”

After saying that, she mischievously blinked at Huo Jingrui.

As long as there was something for Yunyi, he didn’t care if he had anything or not. He reached out to take one of the bags, ”Which one is Yunyi’s? I’ll help her carry it inside.”

Gui Kairong glanced at the bag in his hand, ”That’s the one.”

Trailing behind, Huo Jiayuan noticed that while the bags were the same size, Fourth Sister-in-law’s bag was packed tightly, whereas hers just seemed to be filled, ”Sigh, once Mom got a daughter-in-law, she stopped doting on her own daughter.”

Huo Jingrui immediately added fuel to the fire, ”So you’ve finally realized the situation.”

Watching their antics, Yunyi and Gui Kailan couldn’t help but laugh.
