Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1257: Are You Just Going to Watch Them Bully Me Like This?

Before Xinyan could utter a word, He Jinxuan emerged from the kitchen. "My wife is currently pursuing her studies; she doesn't have time for children. Wouldn't that disrupt her education?" he inquired.

Fu Guangying, taken aback by He Jinxuan's response, insisted, "A woman's priority should still be her family. Once married, naturally, she should ensure a man's legacy."

He Jinxuan's expression instantly turned cold. "I will not use the need for a legacy as a means to restrain my wife. Our relationship doesn't require a legacy for its sustenance. Sister-in-law, you should concern yourself with your own affairs."

Hearing this, Fu Guangying's demeanor soured considerably. "I was merely offering a kind reminder, Captain He. Why must you speak so harshly?"

Xinyan harbored no fondness for Fu Guangying. Recognizing the futility of further discussion, she decided to dispense with pleasantries. "Fu Guangying, is it? Your family doesn't reside by the sea, so why pry so intensely? If you possessed common sense, you wouldn't brazenly come to my home to stir up trouble. My husband informed you last time that I cherish tranquility; it appears you failed to grasp his meaning. Allow me to clarify."

Before Fu Guangying could retaliate, Xinyan grasped her arm. She attempted to pull away, but Xinyan's grip felt like an unyielding iron clamp, rendering her struggle futile.

Xinyan propelled Fu Guangying out of the yard and directly towards the Lu family residence. "Vice Captain Lu, are you home?" she called out.

Lu Qiufu, hearing the summons, emerged from his home.

Upon seeing him, Xinyan addressed him directly. "Vice Captain Lu, your wife is expecting. It's currently inadvisable for her to be roaming about. After all, the elders often advise discretion before the first three months. Furthermore, as my husband conveyed to you and your wife previously, I value peace and quiet. Perhaps his words didn't quite register. Let me reiterate: I dislike associating with individuals whose energies don't align with mine. I trust you will keep your wife in check. Considering her condition, any trouble she might cause would put me in a difficult position to explain."

The moment these words left Xinyan's lips, Vice Captain Lu's face contorted with displeasure. He instantly understood; his own meddlesome wife had sought to create a disturbance and had consequently earned Xinyan's ire.

He had intended to retort to Xinyan, but spotting He Jinxuan approaching from beyond the gate, he reconsidered.

Xinyan then nudged Fu Guangying towards Vice Captain Lu. "Very well, I've returned her to you unharmed. Kindly see to her," she stated.

With that, she turned and departed the premises.

For those she disliked, she was disinclined to engage in any pretense or interaction. She frequented her residential area only a few days each month and had no intention of compromising her principles.

He Jinxuan reached out and affectionately ruffled Xinyan's hair. "Let's go. I'll accompany you for a stroll to the newly refurbished small square."

Xinyan tilted her head, looking up at him. "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

He Jinxuan took her hand. "You handled that perfectly. Remember this, never compromise yourself for anyone, not even for me. Your happiness is paramount."

Exchanging a knowing smile, the couple walked away, hand in hand.

Watching the scene unfold from the yard, Fu Guangying's expression hardened into one of sheer fury.

They had both married into the transport team on the same day, yet their circumstances diverged so drastically.

She had believed she had finally found an area where she could contend with Xinyan, only to discover that her husband defended her so vehemently, leaving Fu Guangying utterly humiliated.

Moreover, she hadn't anticipated Xinyan's sheer audacity in expelling her and then delivering such a stinging insult. "Lu Qiufu, are you just going to stand by while they bully me like this?" she cried out.

Lu Qiufu appeared visibly irritated by his wife's outburst. "What exactly do you expect me to do about it?" he asked, his tone laced with displeasure.
