Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Crude Words, Sound Logic

Chu Xinming, hearing the words of the family patriarch, knew that without taking a stand, this matter wouldn’t be settled. ”Yuli, Xiaoju, if you cause any more trouble, don’t blame me for really sending you back to Ning City.”

Having said that, he awkwardly turned to Yunyi. ”Yunyi, let me apologize on their behalf. Don’t hold it against these two who don’t know any better.”

Anyway, we’ve recognized each other as family, and I’ll quickly be returning to Ji Province, so I won’t have much contact with them. Face must still be given. ”Of course, I won’t hold it against them.

”However, let me remind you that this is Beijing. The person you think is unremarkable might have a significant background. I advise everyone to be careful in what you say and do in the future to avoid saying something out of turn and getting your family into trouble because of it.”

Chu Xinming hadn’t expected Yunyi to say this, but upon reflection, he realized she was right. ”Uncle will remember these words.”

After speaking, he looked at his wife and daughter. ”Did you hear what Yunyi said? Have you remembered it?”

He saw that the mother and daughter from the Chu Family’s Second House were slow to speak up.

Auntie Wei interjected, ”This isn’t scaremongering, so don’t misunderstand Yunyi’s good intentions.”

Huo Jingrui glanced over the group, noticing they seemed to have taken the words to heart this time. ”I’ve heard that Uncle Chu is quite an official in the military, so you must be even more cautious in your actions. You wouldn’t want to inadvertently cause him trouble.”

These words were harsh, but Huo Jingrui had intentionally said them. He had overheard that the younger generation had caused trouble in Ning City. If they didn’t learn to restrain themselves here, they might face even more trouble, so it was better to clarify the consequences beforehand.

Chu Yucheng, seasoned by age, clearly understood the meaning behind Huo Jingrui’s words. ”Though the words are rough, the logic is solid. That’s the truth of it. Why did we leave Ning City? You all know the reason in your hearts.

”Now that we’re in Beijing, don’t repeat the same mistakes. Otherwise, there won’t be another place for us to move to.”

So, it was confirmed. The Chu family members had caused trouble in Ning City and had been forced to get a job transfer to Beijing to start over, likely at a significant cost.

Chu Gaotao, sitting next to Yunyi, asked softly, ”Cousin Yunyi, may I write to you?”

Yunyi, hearing the question, didn’t refuse. ”Yes.”

With that, she took a pen and paper from her bag and wrote down her address for Chu Gaotao. ”Keep this safe.”

A smile full of warmth spread across Chu Gaotao’s face. ”Thank you.”

The meal, although not thoroughly enjoyable for all, did fulfill its purpose.

Huo Jingrui naturally would not provide them with another opportunity to pester Yunyi. ”Where are you staying now? I have time at the moment, so I can take you to the house. That way, you can settle down sooner.”

With the matter addressed to this extent, Chu Yucheng couldn’t refuse. ”Then we’ll trouble you, Young Huo.”

Huo Jingrui looked toward Yunyi. ”You’ve been traveling for a few days; go back and rest. I’ll come to see you later.”

Yunyi didn’t refuse since she had other matters to attend to upon her return. She took out a letter Ye Wenhui had written to her family from her bag. ”Jingrui, could you make a trip to the Ye Family and deliver this letter? I won’t go there.”

Since Huo Jingrui had acknowledged their relationship, Yunyi hadn’t kept Ye Family matters from him.

Huo Jingrui, knowing she didn’t wish to interact much with the Ye Family, nodded. ”Alright, I’ll make sure it gets to them as soon as possible.”

Logically, it would have been polite to visit them now that she was back. However, the contents of Ye Wenhui’s letter involved Ye Wenjuan, and she didn’t want to get involved in those messy matters. It was better to stay away.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yunyi, the Chu family members followed Huo Jingrui out.

Auntie Wei looked at their departing figures. ”You have a good eye. This young man is someone who can handle big things.”
