Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1231: Return to the Capital
Gu Yize's eyes were flushed red as he knelt before Mr. Gu. "Father, this is truly not a dream," he stated.
Mr. Gu, upon hearing this, cupped his son's face. "The heavens have truly seen fit to bestow their blessings."
After a considerable period, serenity finally settled upon them, and Gu Yize proceeded to detail his experiences and suspicions accumulated over the years.
Mr. Gu had not anticipated that the devious Xue Yishan would have prepared a contingency: "That old rascal Xue Yishan is truly a master of deception. Everyone spoke of his profound love for his wife, yet who could have known he maintained a separate family elsewhere."
Xinyan interjected into the conversation, offering, "My father has already made arrangements on the other side. Those individuals will also be discreetly transported back to the Capital. It won't be long before their family can finally be reunited."
The father and son, separated for so many years, became engrossed in their conversation, foregoing even dinner. It was He Jinxuan who ventured out to procure some takeaway food.
Xinyan assisted with the setup. "Grandfather, Second Uncle, please come and eat."
He Jinxuan observed them taking their seats. "Grandfather, Second Uncle, I have secured train tickets for your return journey to Beijing tomorrow evening."
Mr. Gu glanced towards Xinyan, who gave him a nod. "Grandfather, tomorrow, please allow Jinxuan to accompany you to the Wei Family's residence. I have some matters to attend to outside, and I will meet you there afterwards."
Mr. Gu immediately grasped his granddaughter's unspoken meaning. "Very well, I have been eager to return to Beijing soon; your grandmother must be anxiously awaiting."
Having been reunited with his son, he naturally desired to present his wife with a similar surprise.
As Xinyan began opening the lunch containers, she announced, "I spoke with my mother today."
Mr. Gu expressed surprise. "What, you've already informed the family? How is your grandmother?"
Noticing her grandfather's rising concern, Xinyan quickly reassured him. "Grandfather, I've asked my mother to keep it from Grandma for the time being. Since I am not there to attend to her, I worry that any excitement might adversely affect her health."
Mr. Gu finally exhaled in relief. "You handled that judiciously."
That night, Gu Yize shared a room with Mr. Gu.
Naturally, He Jinxuan shared accommodations with Xinyan. He even produced their marriage certificate, presenting it when the police conducted a routine room check.
As soon as their door was closed, He Jinxuan encircled Xinyan's shoulders with his arm. "Wife, it's a good thing I was prepared, otherwise, we would still be offering explanations long past midnight."
Xinyan playfully rolled her eyes at him. "You had this planned all along, didn't you?"
He Jinxuan chuckled heartily. "You caught me!"
With that, he bent down and lifted her into his arms. "We are newlyweds, after all."
Leaning closer to Xinyan's ear, he whispered conspiratorially, "Wife, Grandfather and Second Uncle will undoubtedly be engaged in conversation until late. Shall we retreat into the space, my dear?"
Having found her Second Uncle, Xinyan was naturally in exceedingly high spirits. She replied meaningfully, "Today has truly been a day of great fortune."
With those words, the pair vanished from the guesthouse room, embarking on a night filled with passionate intimacy...
The following morning, after partaking in breakfast, they proceeded with their prearranged actions.
Mr. Gu lowered his voice and instructed Xinyan, "Exercise caution."
Xinyan met her grandfather's gaze and nodded. "Do not worry."
Immediately after checking out of their room, He Jinxuan spent a considerable amount of time offering Xinyan his advice before accompanying Grandfather and Second Uncle to the Wei Family's home.
Xinyan then boarded a bus, disembarking midway before proceeding to ascend the mountain alone.
Without her grandfather's presence, her ascent of the mountain was notably swifter today.
After confirming the absence of any threats, she skillfully activated the hidden mechanism. Within half an hour, Xinyan had restored the area to its original state and descended the mountain with a buoyant heart.
Upon her arrival at the Wei Family residence, He Jinxuan had not yet departed. Following their lunch at the Wei Family's home, he personally escorted the three individuals onto the train bound for the Capital, only then feeling truly at ease.
