Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 954: Finally at Ease

For the sake of safety, they could only stay here for one day.

After Xinyan returned from the clinic yesterday, she reapplied the ointment made from the space herbs. This morning, she was able to slowly walk, although her foot still looked somewhat swollen.

This was the result Xinyan wanted.

Granny Zhang sent away the neighbor who came to inquire, gestured for them to speak inside the house, while she carried the vegetables to the door and started sorting them. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Of course, the purpose was to keep watch.

The few people inside the house didn’t exchange much pleasantries, analyzed the current situation, and discussed the subsequent arrangements.

Mr. Gu Yiwen looked at Han Jingchen: "Previously, I always thought they coveted the wealth of our Gu Family, but now it seems what they are after is not simple. Those people have already lost their senses; they are capable of anything. You must prioritize your safety above all."

After a long sigh, he continued: "When your grandfather met with misfortune, he had a long-term follower by his side. The incident happened suddenly, and there wasn’t time to inquire thoroughly as other urgent situations arose in Gu Family’s other businesses.

We hastily laid your grandfather to rest, then rushed back home. By the time we realized what had happened, your grandfather’s follower had already resigned and left.

Whatever happened back then, I believe he knows it well. Realizing the complexities, afraid of getting implicated, he quickly escaped and took his family away from Gu Family to avoid calamity."

He himself couldn’t quite understand it; even if it was to avoid disaster, why didn’t he meet once to clarify things before hurriedly leaving.

He initially had leads on that follower, but with one family emergency after another, he was overwhelmed and had no time to pursue further.

To this end, Mr. Gu specially drew a portrait of the follower.

After looking at it, Xinyan always felt he seemed familiar, but couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

Even though Gu Wanqing found it difficult, it was time to leave. They couldn’t stay long to avoid drawing attention and leading to unnecessary trouble.

Gu Wanqing urged her parents to stay here comfortably and promised to bring them back to the Capital after settling those families.

After the Gu elders instructed their children, they gazed at Gu Wanqing’s belly, their eyes moistening, advising: "The matters of Gu Family can’t be solved in a day or two. Never be aggressive; now, everything should prioritize the child in your belly."

Han Jingchen then called Zhang Yueshan aside for a private conversation.

Gu Wanqing glanced at the two walking away, then looked at Xinyan.

Xinyan, knowing her mother had things to discuss privately with her grandparents, said: "I’ll go check on Granny Zhang."

After speaking, she turned away, pulling Granny Zhang who was busy tidying things up to go inside and have a heartfelt conversation.

In Xinyan’s heart, Granny Zhang weighed heavier than her grandparents; after all, without Granny Zhang across lifetimes, she might’ve lived a far more miserable life.

For Granny Zhang, having no son before, her heart and soul were with Xinyan. She naturally wished to live together with Xinyan.

But now that her son had returned, although reluctant to part with Xinyan, she desired to stay by her son’s side, living in the familiar little plot of land.

With plenty of food prepared by Granny Zhang, they boarded the car reluctantly.

As the car started, Gu Wanqing kept looking back, feeling distressed, and Xinyan said: "Mom, it won’t be long before Granddad and Grandma can return to the Capital. Please take care of the baby in your belly."

Gu Wanqing wiped her reddened eyes, sat upright, and gently stroked her belly: "Let’s hope everything goes as wished."

Saying the words, she understood that good things always face trials.

Once she calmed down, Han Jingchen finally said: "With Shanzi by Mom and Dad’s side, you can rest assured."

Gu Wanqing asked with a nasal tone: "Is Shanzi’s job settled?"

She worried that if it’s too far, he couldn’t handle family matters if something arose.

Han Jingchen replied with affirmation: "It’s at a credit union not far from home. It’s Shanzi’s own choice—firstly, to handle matters timely, and also not wanting to be too far from Aunt Zhang."

Being separated for so long, with Aunt Zhang getting old, they naturally understood Zhang Yueshan’s decision.

That’s fine with Gu Wanqing, it finally put her mind at ease.

Blame her for being selfish, the families were too arrogant, and she had no choice but to worry for the safety of the old couple.

Once the car drove out of Malan Town, Gu Wanqing looked at her daughter: "Yanyan, you have to return to school tomorrow, do you want to take another day off? I’m worried...."

Before she could finish, Xinyan interrupted: "Mom, no need to take leave. After resting another night, my foot will be fine; it’s only swollen as a show for those interested parties."

Gu Wanqing’s face showed guilt, wanting to say something but eventually didn’t speak. She extended her hand, pulled Xinyan’s hand, lightly patted it, then tightly held it in hers.
