Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Then I Might as Well Turn Myself In

Du Shujian couldn’t bear to listen any longer inside the room. Wasn’t the Gong Family here just to force him to marry Gong Fangyue?

He closed his eyes briefly and walked out: ”You don’t need to force my mom anymore. She can’t make decisions for me. Since everyone is so miserable, why don’t I just turn myself in?”

These words stunned everyone present. What did Du Shujian just say?

Du Shujian noticed their reaction and deliberately said in a provoking manner, ”What, are you all so happy you’re dumbfounded?”

Zhang Xiaolu was the first to react: ”Son, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?”

The Gong Family didn’t dare to push any further. If they really pushed Du Shujian into turning himself in, then the Du and Gong Families would become enemies. That’s not what they wanted; they wanted a union, not a feud.

For a moment, the Gong Family didn’t know what to say.

A bystander spoke up: ”Hurry up, I have places to be. You’re really dragging things out.”

Zhang Xiaolu felt utterly humiliated: ”You all should go back first. I’ll discuss things with my son and inform you as soon as there’s news.”

Just before the Du Family could reach a decision, trouble struck the Gong Family. Someone reported them, and many illegal items were found in their home. The entire Gong Family was sent to the Northwest.

The Gong Family blamed the Du Family for this, believing that their downfall was the only way to stop threatening the Du Family.

When the Du Family received the news, Zhang Xiaolu was relieved: ”Luckily, we didn’t agree yesterday, or else we would’ve been dragged into this mess.”

Despite the Gong Family’s connections, after they were sent off to the Northwest, the Du Family’s house was visited and all their money coupons and valuables were gone.

Gazing at her ransacked home, Zhang Xiaolu felt utterly despondent, wondering how things could have become so chaotic.

Meanwhile, Huo Jiayuan was unaware and was busy packing, as her train was about to arrive in just over an hour.

Huo Jingrui, after receiving a call from home, went to find Yunyi and explained the situation to her: ”That’s how things are. Jiayuan might have to stay for a while.”

Yunyi quite liked her future sister-in-law: ”Alright, I’ll go with you to pick her up when the time comes.”

Thinking about the upcoming formal treatment for Gui Kailan: ”Gui Comrade’s health has been adjusted quite well these days. Next step is starting acupuncture. I’ve observed that when she’s not stimulated by anyone or anything, she’s no different from a normal person.”

At first, Huo Jingrui didn’t quite understand why Yunyi brought up the Gu family matter but soon understood what she meant: ”I have no objections, but we can’t let anyone else stay in our matrimonial home.”

Not to mention Huo Jingrui’s cleanliness habits, even Yunyi couldn’t accept strangers staying in their wedding home: ”Rest assured, no one other than you and I will stay there.”

Huo Jingrui had already decided to buy a big lock and seal off the room.

The next day, after settling Gui Kailan, Yunyi followed Huo Jingrui to the train station.

Huo Jiayuan didn’t expect to see her future fourth sister-in-law the moment she got off the train, and for some reason, she felt a surge of grievance.

As she walked swiftly towards Yunyi, her pace quickened. A few steps away, she tossed her handbag to the ground and ran over to hug Yunyi: ”Fourth Sister-in-law, I’ve finally made up my mind.”
