Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1245: Trouble Comes Knocking

He Jinxuan knew the limits.

Very quickly, he presented the breakfast he had prepared: a small bowl of red bean porridge, a boiled egg, a small plate of assorted cold dishes, a small plate of braised beef, one meat bun, and one vegetable bun.

Xinyan smiled, commenting, "Wow, quite a spread you've got here."

He Jinxuan beamed, arranging the items before her sequentially. "Naturally. My Grandma and my master’s wife frequently instilled in me the importance of maintaining a balanced diet."

Xinyan, with a full smile, asked, "Would you like to join me for a bit more?"

He Jinxuan waved his hand. "No, thank you. I've already eaten."

He said this while expertly peeling the egg for her, then handed it over. "Hao Yuanfang stopped by this morning. I informed him you had prior engagements and sent him on his way."

Xinyan had previously recounted the hospital incident to him, and a hint of displeasure lingered. Although Hao Yuanfang wasn't directly at fault, the crux of the matter was that his wife was involved.

He found it unbearable that his own wife would mistreat anyone, let alone express harsh words himself.

Xinyan took a bite of the egg, murmuring, "Lately, I've been too occupied to concern myself with his son. Consider this a necessary wake-up call for him and a lesson for his wife."

He Jinxuan then brought the plate of buns closer to Xinyan. "These buns are from the cafeteria. They have a minced meat and string bean filling, along with tofu, vermicelli, and carrot filling – the kind you prefer. Why not try one and see how it tastes?"

Previously, Xinyan had dined at the transport company's cafeteria, and he had made a mental note of her preferences. Just yesterday, he had overheard cafeteria staff mentioning that her favorite minced meat and string bean buns would be available in the morning, prompting him to purchase them early.

In truth, a man’s affection is often revealed in life's small gestures. He Jinxuan's love was demonstrably present in his actions, and Xinyan perceived it all.

As they were chatting, Sister Shen entered, playfully remarking, "You're only just having breakfast now?"

He Jinxuan, concerned his wife might feel embarrassed, quickly interjected, "Brother Shen visited this morning to discuss matters with Vice Captain Lu, and she got caught up listening to their conversation."

With the topic deftly shifted, Sister Shen didn't dwell on Xinyan's late breakfast. "Latest news: the young lady from the Zhai Family is back. She nearly had a major altercation with her family and gave Zhai Songyuan quite a dressing-down."

Xinyan chuckled. "Fortunately, it didn't escalate to physical blows. After a few sweet words, he completely lost his bearings. To save face, he lent out a motorcycle that didn't even belong to him – a truly muddled individual."

Sister Shen wholeheartedly agreed. "Precisely! It's a good thing no lives were lost; that would have made things significantly more complicated."

Xinyan remained silent, but her thoughts churned: This situation is rather complex. It’s understandable that the other party would seek greater advantages, but encountering an unreasonable individual could easily lead to further complications.

Their attempt to salvage 'face' ultimately led to their downfall, resulting in a loss of both dignity and respect.

She hadn't anticipated that a problem originating elsewhere would eventually draw her in.

Just as she finished her meal, He Jinxuan approached to clear the dishes. "You chat with Sister Shen for a while longer. I'll wash these, and then we'll head out."

Sister Shen gazed with admiration. "Xinyan, you are truly fortunate. No, both of you are. One married a wife as beautiful as a celestial being, and the other a man who genuinely cherishes her – truly enviable."

Xinyan laughed warmly. "Sister Shen, Jinxuan mentioned that Brother Shen is exceptionally considerate of the Gu Family and treats both you and the children exceptionally well."

Who could resist a compliment? Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Sister Shen's lips. "My husband can't compare to your Captain He, but compared to other men in our courtyard, he's not too shabby."

The two women were deeply engrossed in their conversation when someone abruptly burst in, shouting, "Han Xinyan, come out here!"
