Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Shen Nian hadn’t really noticed before, but Liu Fanglan’s words put her talent for being loud on full display.

Shen Nian’s heart sank. If she let Liu Fanglan continue her loud-mouthed tirade, she’d likely never have a moment’s peace.

This wasn’t Shen Family Village; this was company housing. If things blew up, even if she was ultimately proven to be in the right, the fallout was sure to be unpleasant.

’Dealing with someone like Liu Fanglan, you can’t just confront her head-on. People with nothing to lose have no fear. For all I know, she’s already a master at this kind of confrontation.’

’The most urgent thing is to get her to leave for now. As for later... I’ll figure out a way to deal with people like her eventually.’

’Worst-case scenario, I still have Lu Cheng! At worst, I’ll just tattle on her a bit when he gets back!’

’I’m not familiar with how things work around here, so I don’t know the best way to handle this. But Lu Cheng is different—he knows this place inside and out!’

’Even if Lu Cheng would never take the initiative to do something to a colleague’s family member, there’s still me! He can come up with the plan, and I can carry it out. What better partnership could there be?’

”Sister-in-law Liu, that’s not what I meant. Look, my place is a mess right now, so it’s not a good time to have guests.”

As she said this, an idea suddenly struck Shen Nian. She walked to the side and took a small bag out of a larger one.

”I just got here and haven’t prepared anything special. Please take this as a small welcome gift, Sister-in-law Liu. I hope you don’t mind.”

Liu Fanglan had been about to retort the moment Shen Nian started talking. But when she saw Shen Nian’s movement, she swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.

After hearing what Shen Nian said, the look on her face changed in an instant.

”Oh my, you’re being too kind! Look at me, I dirtied your things, and not only do you not blame me, you’re even giving me a gift.”

Shen Nian pursed her lips inwardly. ’Her expression changed in a flash! If I’d known a gift would solve the problem, I would have handed it over the second I saw her.’

”It’s only right.”

”Oh, I feel so bad. I got your things dirty and you didn’t even ask me to pay for them. How about I continue helping you unpack?”

Shen Nian grumbled to herself, ’Oh, please no. I can’t possibly let Liu Fanglan keep ’helping’ me unpack. Otherwise, I’m worried it won’t be just that piece of fabric that gets destroyed!’

’After all, I bought a lot of fragile items. If Liu Fanglan’s ’clumsy hands’ broke a few more of them, my heart would truly ache.’

”That’s not necessary, Sister-in-law Liu. I can manage on my own.”

”Alright then. I have kids at home, so I should be getting back!”

Liu Fanglan had gotten what she wanted, so naturally, she had no desire to stay and help with the work. Besides, the gift from Shen Nian was so nicely wrapped; she was dying to rush home and see what was inside!

Watching Sister-in-law Liu finally walk out the door, Shen Nian let out a sigh of relief and quickly shut it.

She turned to look at the lace fabric, now ruined beyond use. Shaking her head, Shen Nian could only take it out and set it aside before starting to unpack her other belongings one by one.

’At the very least, this place needs to be livable by tonight.’

After several hours of hard work, Shen Nian looked at the transformed apartment and finally broke into a satisfied smile.

”Finally done! I hope Lu Cheng likes it when he gets back!”

Shen Nian found herself muttering Lu Cheng’s name, and then let out a helpless laugh. ’I really do miss him.’

”GRUMBLE GRUMBLE...”

The sound from her stomach made Shen Nian realize she had been so busy she hadn’t eaten anything yet. Although she’d eaten plenty of fruit from her space, fruit just wasn’t filling.

Since she had just arrived today, it wasn’t convenient to cook yet. Remembering what Lu Cheng had told her, Shen Nian decided to make do with a meal at the cafeteria.

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw someone standing outside.
