Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1142: Digging Pits Without Filling Them

Wang Baoliang caught He Jinxuan’s remark: "You’re really something, just digging holes without filling them, just wanting to watch the fun, huh?"

He Jinxuan chuckled: "You still have time to head home and be extra sweet today."

Wang Baoliang rubbed his face: "We’ve been married for years as an old couple; that kind of leisure and romance is long gone."

To break the awkward moment, he swiftly shifted the subject: "When will folks from your hometown arrive?"

Yesterday, after departing the Gu Family, He Jinxuan had phoned home from a public booth: "Big Brother, I’m tying the knot."

He Jiefang barely drew breath before his younger brother’s words hit him through the receiver, making his eyes sparkle instantly: "Really?

Mom and Dad have chatted about this nonstop lately, and they’re fretting that little sister could stir trouble for you once she arrives."

Before He Jinxuan could respond further, his brother fired off eagerly: "What’s the date?

Is the wedding in Sanyuan or Beijing?"

He Jinxuan cleared his throat amid the barrage of questions: "It’s locked for August 16th. I’ll hold it in Beijing first, then during New Year’s return home, we’ll set up a few tables and treat close friends to drinks."

He Jiefang considered his sister-in-law as a student, figuring leave might be tough: "Got it, I’ll update Mom and Dad at home, and we’ll head there early."

He Jinxuan aimed to avoid his affairs disrupting everyone’s jobs: "Big Brother, everything’s handled on my end here; don’t let my wedding mess with your work."

He Jiefang grasped his intent perfectly: "Your marriage is huge, particularly with our families so mismatched. We might not assist a ton, but we won’t drag anyone down."

He wrapped it up decisively, confirming their trip to the Capital.

Next came Wang Baoliang’s query: "They’ll arrive three days ahead, so we might need you to swing by and pick them up."

Wang Baoliang grinned in agreement: "Given our bond, what’s trouble between friends? You’ve bailed me out plenty too."

The pair shared a warm, understanding grin before diving back into their tasks.

Just then, a young helper nearby approached: "Captain He, word is Vice Captain Lu’s wedding date overlaps with yours."

He Jinxuan paused in surprise: "Where’d you pick that up?"

The young man beamed innocently: "He’s wedding Old Wei’s sister-in-law from logistics."

He Jinxuan eyed the lad, inwardly noting: Nearly tricked by this fellow’s pure-faced act.

Truth was, he hadn’t heard a thing about it.

Old Wei had once tried matching him with his sister-in-law, but backed off upon learning of his fiancée.

Who’d have thought Old Wei moved so swiftly, pairing her with Vice Captain Lu instead.

He Jinxuan’s world buzzed with activity, and Xinyan’s was equally hectic.

She aced the second selection round today, with one final contest in two days; passers then face a week of rigorous closed-door training.

The medical school also announced that tomorrow, alongside her finals, top professors will conduct a live evaluation.

Thus, she’s been rushing nonstop these days, exhausted yet thrilled, since snagging a spot on an overseas delegation is a golden opportunity she won’t let slip.

Jiang Peiqin sidled up and elbowed her: "Sis, you’re amazing! Never guessed your French flowed so smoothly; you’ve nailed it."

Xinyan flashed a grin: "You shone too; head back and gear up for the next round—true sisters advance as one."

Jiang Peiqin buzzed with abroad dreams: "Deal, I’ll push hard to join you."
