Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 913 - 914: Whose Side Are You On? Why Do You Always Side With Outsiders?

Ye Bingyu and Xia Dongxue, along with Ye Wenyang who had already accepted Yunyi, arrived early at the Chu Family to help Yunyi entertain guests.

Auntie Wei had Wei Hongjun and his wife clean the yard thoroughly the day before, and they were waiting there early this morning.

Huo Jingrui had the ingredients sent over a day in advance and asked Auntie Wei to help hire the chef who usually caters red and white banquets to cook.

Yunyi invited a few neighbors from the alley who had looked after the original owner, and also notified the Chu Yucheng family, as she had something to discuss with them.

When Huo Jingrui and Yunyi arrived, Chu Yucheng had already brought his whole family over.

As soon as they arrived, the Chu Family eagerly gathered around: ”Yunyi, we finally get to see you.”

To be honest, Yunyi didn’t want to have too much contact with this branch of the Chu Yucheng family, so she just notified them about the day she would return and told them to come early to the Chu Family gathering.

Because of this, the Chu Family often spoke badly of her.

However, she had foreseen this, and since she wasn’t too pretentious in the first place, she naturally didn’t care.

The reason she didn’t want too much contact was because the second son of the Chu Family, Chu Xinming, was using the name of the Hua Family to act arrogantly at the factory, and she didn’t want to be cleaning up their messes every now and then.

Ye Bingyu, along with Ye Wenyang, had just helped Huo Jingrui bring his things into the house when they heard Chu Xiaojue from the Second Wife say: ”Mom, now that there’s no one from the Chu Family here, shouldn’t these things be given to us?”

The second daughter-in-law of the Chu Family was initially taken aback by her daughter’s words, but then seemed to realize: ”That’s right, now that there’s no one from your granduncle’s family, we’re basically Yunyi’s family. These things should be given to your grandpa.”

With good hearing, Huo Jingrui and Yunyi naturally overheard the mother and daughter’s whispered conversation.

Yunyi couldn’t help but think to herself: It seems my thoughts were right, just maintaining appearances is enough, there’s no need for deep interaction.

In the future, if the second granduncle of the Chu Family is no longer around, then this family connection will effectively be severed.

After Yunyi exchanged pleasantries with some of the neighbors, Wei Hongyan came rushing in from outside: ”Yunyi, I’m here.”

Yunyi smiled and waved at her: ”Not working today?”

Wei Hongyan replied with a smile: ”Of course, I took a day off just for you.”

Yunyi nudged Wei Hongyan with her shoulder: ”You’re something.”

Wei Hongyan said proudly: ”Of course, we’re good sisters.”

Yunyi recalled what Auntie Wei had mentioned the other day: ”I heard from your mom that your date is set for sometime in January?”

Wei Hongyan felt a bit embarrassed as she heard this: ”Yes, my mom wants me to stay for one more year.”

Seeing Yunyi chatting warmly with Wei Hongyan, the second daughter-in-law of the Chu Family nudged her second daughter: ”Don’t just stand here, it’s not often you get to see your sister Yunyi, go over and talk.”

Chu Xiaolan found herself nearly pushed over by her mom: ”Mom, can’t you see they’re talking? It wouldn’t be polite for me to just interrupt.”

Jiang Yuli glared at her daughter: ”You’re so useless. By the time they’re done talking, there wouldn’t be any opportunity left for you.”

At this moment, Chu Xiaojue walked over: ”Mom, after we finish the meal, mention the house to Yunyi. She’s married now, so with the house just sitting empty, why not let me use it?”

Hearing her sister’s shameless words, Chu Xiaolan looked annoyed: ”I advise against bringing up the house, or we might lose even the pretense of friendship.”

Chu Xiaojue frowned at her second sister: ”Whose side are you on? Why do you always side with outsiders?”
