Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1244: This Is Going to Be a Mess

Xinyan inquired, then recalled the identity of Zhai Songyuan.

Wasn't he the one who, shortly after their own wedding, found employment with the government motorcade and took Song Bingjing as his wife?

She dimly remembered He Jinxuan mentioning previously that Zhai Songyuan's brother-in-law, employed in a government capacity, had facilitated his placement within the government motorcade's auto repair division.

Zhai Songyuan's brother-in-law's motorcycle?

A chill of apprehension washed over Xinyan. Had she not refused, and had He Jinxuan lent the motorcycle out of obligation, the potential ramifications were almost too dreadful to contemplate: "What is their current situation?"

Shen Shichang let out a sigh, "This situation doesn't look promising. Not only did they have a fall, but they also collided with a cyclist. I heard the man sustained a severe leg injury, possibly requiring amputation."

Precisely then, a voice from outside the gate chimed in, "You're all unaware, this isn't solely about the individual who was struck. The Zhai family's son-in-law arrived in a furious state."

He Jinxuan inquired with curiosity, "What transpired?"

The newcomer, clearly relishing the gossip, elaborated, "That motorcycle was borrowed by Zhai Songyuan for a ride. Last night, Vice Captain Lu and his wife came to request its use. After showering Zhai Songyuan with praise, he impulsively agreed to lend it out.

However, that motorcycle wasn't even his brother-in-law's. It belonged to an old classmate of his brother-in-law's who was traveling south and, concerned about leaving it unattended, entrusted it to his brother-in-law for safekeeping.

Now it's damaged. The repair itself is a minor issue, but the collision guarantees misfortune. His brother-in-law is exceptionally displeased."

Xinyan couldn't help but heave a sigh. What a tangled mess this had become!

One could anticipate a significant amount of contention arising from this.

Just then, another individual approached, "Captain He, did Vice Captain Lu's couple also attempt to borrow a motorcycle from you last night?"

He Jinxuan recognized that evasion was futile, stating, "Yes, they did, but my wife requires it daily, so we declined."

The speaker slapped their thigh in exclamation, "Fortunate for you that you didn't lend it out! If you had become entangled in this affair, it would have been incredibly vexing."

"Indeed. I heard the injured party's family nearly resorted to violence against the Lu couple, but given that they were also injured, others intervened to prevent further escalation."

For a moment, the entire residential compound buzzed with discussion about the incident.

General sentiment involved pity for Fu Guangying, who, in a moment of vanity, had plunged herself into such a serious predicament. Both she and her companion were injured, they had caused harm to another, and the motorcycle itself was far from inexpensive. Following such an event, it was improbable that anyone would desire a vehicle involved in a crash.

Furthermore, this single motorcycle had ensnared so many individuals in its wake; resolving this was certain to prove a considerable headache.

Concerned that Xinyan might be feeling hungry, He Jinxuan, after politely dismissing the gossiping individuals, said, "Have a seat, I'll bring your meal over."

Xinyan was, in truth, feeling hungry, especially after the physically demanding events of the previous night, and dutifully took a seat.

Upon regaining full awareness, she noticed the clothes drying on the rack, her cheeks flushing once more.

Just then, He Jinxuan returned with the food. Xinyan, her face still tinged with red, declared, "From this point forward, I will handle my own laundry."

He Jinxuan cast a glance in that direction and replied, "As long as I am here, I will take care of such matters."

Xinyan started to speak, but He Jinxuan leaned in, whispering, "I rather like that particular task. Since I assisted you in removing them, I should also be the one to clean them. There's no need for shyness, my dear."

Xinyan was taken aback that the usually reserved He Jinxuan would utter such brazen words without concern for being overheard. The sheer embarrassment prompted an immediate retort: "Get lost!"

He Jinxuan recognized that further teasing would genuinely anger his wife, so he wisely retreated, saying, "You eat your meal. I'll tidy the kitchen, and afterwards, I'll accompany you to Grandpa Jiao's to assist with his treatment."

Witnessing his swift departure, Xinyan finally patted her own flushed face.
