Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1158: Of Course It Was to Avoid Suspicion

Jiang Xiaoling had often heard others privately discuss making time to go shopping, but how could shopping not cost money?

Unfortunately, she was strapped for cash, and naturally didn’t want to let them get their way.

So in a moment of impulse, she said something she shouldn’t have.

As soon as she spoke, not only were the few people who had been talking unhappy, but so were the others, and they all looked at her.

They had a teacher leading their group: "Jiang Xiaoling, we just finished the training. You must know what should and shouldn’t be said, and keep it in mind."

At this point, Jiang Xiaoling realized her rashness: "Teacher Zhao, I’m sorry, I was wrong."

Xinyan casually remarked, "Before we set off, the team leader did say that going abroad is not easy. They will arrange some time for us to broaden our horizons, so your worry is really unnecessary."

This comment slapped Jiang Xiaoling in the face and made her very embarrassed.

But Xinyan wasn’t going to indulge her, combining her upper and lower lips to slap a label on someone. Could she handle it?

Teacher Zhao also disliked Jiang Xiaoling’s words, but since they had just arrived, she didn’t want to make it a big deal. Not only would that embarrass them, it would also affect the school’s reputation: "Remember the task at hand, and don’t do anything that damages the school’s and the country’s reputation and interests due to personal reasons. The consequences are beyond what you can bear."

Once these words were spoken, everyone quieted down, after all, the ideological education classes over the past few days hadn’t been for nothing. National honor is above all, and everyone kept this in mind.

After this little episode, the atmosphere became lively again, and everyone started dreaming about different scenarios.

It wasn’t until dinner was distributed that everyone quieted down.

That day, when He Jinxuan drove to the residential compound, he saw a crowd of people standing on his side of the yard.

Upon approaching, he discovered that it was actually two women fighting.

He quietly asked someone watching the excitement nearby, "Madam, what’s going on?"

The interested madam turned her head to look at He Jinxuan: "Oh, a few days ago, that Vice Captain Lu’s partner stopped Mr. Zhang from the repair department on his bicycle. Someone must have gossiped to Mr. Zhang’s wife, and so here they are fighting."

He Jinxuan suddenly remembered the incident from a few days ago. Fortunately, he didn’t agree at the time, or he might have wanted to die from being misunderstood by Xinyan.

Xinyan had joked with him before, saying that the back seat of the bike couldn’t just let any woman sit there. Although she was joking, he always remembered it.

But he didn’t expect the conflict to spill over to him. Just as Vice Captain Lu pulled the two apart, his partner Fu Guangying complained, "If Captain He didn’t refuse to give me a ride that day, I wouldn’t have stopped someone else’s bike."

The moment these words left her mouth, all the onlookers turned to look at He Jinxuan.

He Jinxuan was furious: Was this just watching the fun and getting blamed for no reason?

But he didn’t want people to misunderstand: "Mr. Fu, you’re really funny. Do you know why I refused to give you a ride?"

Fu Guangying looked upset: "Because you’re unkind, what else?"

He Jinxuan looked at Vice Captain Lu: "Naturally to avoid suspicion, and not to cause trouble."

The others listening understood. If Captain He had given her a ride that day, who knows what the gossip would have been. Today was the perfect example.

After he spoke, He Jinxuan didn’t stay there any longer. He glanced at Vice Captain Lu, then turned and opened his house door to enter the yard.

Just after washing up, he heard someone calling him: "Captain He, there’s a call for you at the gatehouse."

He Jinxuan responded, "Okay, I’ll be right there."

He locked the door and jogged over: "Hello, this is He Jinxuan."

"Third Brother, it’s me, Yanqing."

"Why are you calling?"

"Third Brother, do you have time in the next few days?"

"Tell me, what’s the matter?"

"My father-in-law said he wants to split up the family, and I was hoping you could come over."

No need to ask to know the reason: "Has the time been set?"

"Initially, my father-in-law wanted to do it next month, but my sister-in-law has been complaining every day at home, so in a fit of anger, my father-in-law said to do it tomorrow."

"Alright, I’ll come by tomorrow."
