Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Telling Outsiders He’ll Marry Her Is Just a Smokescreen

After a long while, Old Master Qin said, ”Man proposes, God disposes. What is missed is missed. Jianghui and Yueyue are about to get married; it’s not fit to bring up old matters now.”

Qin Hongling, although regretful, knew that Yunyi’s current status as Yuan Yuxun’s protégé put the Yuan Family’s connections far beyond what the Long Family could compare.

But since the marriage of his younger son to the Long Family’s daughter was set, it was as sure as nails in a plank; after all, the Long Family was not one they could afford to offend.

Old Master Qin glanced upstairs: ”There’s no need to tell your wife about this, lest she can’t control her mouth and stirs up unnecessary trouble.”

Qin Hongling nodded and said, ”Understood.”

Meanwhile, Ye Wenjuan, carrying a small bundle, looked at this place that had humiliated her before, her eyes filled with hatred.

She tossed the small bundle onto the ox cart and climbed on herself: ”Old man, let’s go.”

This ox cart, she had specifically paid to hire, as the station was too far away, and since coming here, she hadn’t been out at all, wholly unfamiliar with this place.

Thinking about what she would face upon returning made her shiver involuntarily.

With her previous reputation, how could Wu Bingjie possibly marry her? But this place was unlivable; she had to use all her strength to contact Wu Bingjie. Even if he found out in the future, it was better than staying here.

Thinking about her predicament filled her heart with hatred.

She hated the Zhang Family, hated the Ye Family, hated Wu Bingjie, hated Chuyunyi, and even hated Gu Xibei, who never looked at her twice. Had it not been for them, she wouldn’t be in this situation.

She had to live.

Meanwhile, Wu Bingjie was being scolded by his father: ”Have you gone mad, trading in so many favors just for some worthless trash?”

Seeing his son remain silent: ”If your grandfather finds out what you’ve done, you’re afraid we’ll never be allowed in again.”

Wu Bingjie’s eyes were filled with hostility: ”Even if we don’t do it, do you think he’d let us in? Qin Jianghui and Dai Yueyue are about to get married, and they didn’t even inform us. That old man has completely given up on us; no point in being cautious anymore.”

Wu Shengjun knew his son was right, but if Old Sir Qin found out he secretly used his connections, the consequences would be unthinkable: ”Son, you know our family’s situation best now. The Qin Family might just find another excuse to shake us off.”

Wu Bingjie let out a sigh: ”Dad, we’ve already been abandoned, there’s no need for the Qin Family to find excuses. We can only rely on ourselves now.”

Wu Shengjun couldn’t comprehend what his son was up to: ”Without the Qin Family, we have no people, no power—relying on ourselves, easy for you to say.”

A glint of cunning passed through Wu Bingjie’s eyes: ”That’s why we need to find another way out; we can’t just wait here to die. We must learn to adapt.”

Wu Shengjun felt irritated: ”Don’t tell me Zhang Wenjuan is your so-called way out?”

Wu Bingjie’s eyes were full of calculation: ”Bringing her back is part of my plan.”

Wu Shengjun looked displeased: ”I won’t agree to let such a disgraceful woman into our Wu Family.”

Wu Bingjie carelessly stood up, standing by the window looking outside: ”Don’t worry, publicly marrying her is just a smokescreen. How could I marry someone so degraded just to disgust myself.”

Seeing his son unwilling to elaborate, Wu Shengjun said: ”Since you have a plan, I won’t ask further. Just remember to be careful; if something truly goes wrong, no one will be able to protect you.”
