Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space-Chapter 970: You Haven’t Crossed the River Yet, but You’re Already Preparing to Burn the Bridge
Ever since the last time they saw their niece and that boy coming out of the cinema in the car, he had someone carefully investigate Yuan Yikai’s background.
If Zhenling listened to the family and broke up with Yuan Yikai, he wouldn’t feel the need to interfere, since Yuan Yikai’s family was truly too complicated and not a good match.
Even though he had moved out to live alone with his aunt, her in-laws often came knocking under the pretense of caring for the grandmother, trying to take advantage.
Though they never got much out of it, it was very bothersome.
Plus, his mom couldn’t see clearly and was always egged on by her remarried in-laws to find Yuan Yikai, eager to have Yuan Yikai help out her children born later.
It’s not that Yuan Yikai is a bad person; it’s just that his family is too troublesome.
But Zhenling wouldn’t give up; she had her heart set on that boy. You can’t exactly tie her up and break them apart.
Sun Zhenling, upon hearing Second Uncle’s words, rushed over: "Second Uncle, you’re the one who spoils me. I knew you wouldn’t ignore me."
Han Jingchen somewhat dismissively pushed his niece aside: "Alright, stop with that. You’ve been doing this since you were a kid; aren’t you tired of it yet?"
Sun Zhenling, feeling a bit embarrassed at being exposed, stood up from Second Uncle’s side and somewhat sheepishly glanced at the others in the living room before turning her gaze to Gu Wanqing: "Second Aunt, Second Uncle is bullying me."
Han Jingchen glared at his niece: "You haven’t even crossed the river yet, and you’re ready to break the bridge?"
Gu Wanqing laughed out loud: "Alright, you nephew and uncle stop fooling around. This matter still needs to be discussed with Chunxue and Baowei."
Gu Wanqing had thought quite a bit about it. After all, this was a lifelong matter for Zhenling; she didn’t want to invite resentment in the future. Even if he was the real uncle, he couldn’t overstep the parents.
Han Chunxue now didn’t want to deal with her daughter at all, maintaining a cold face without responding.
Sun Baowei, seeing his wife’s attitude, had no choice but to say: "Zhenling, have you thought it through?"
Sun Zhenling looked seriously at Sun Baowei: "Dad, I know you all mean well for me, don’t want to see me living a chaotic life.
Dad, just trust me this once, okay?
Yuan Yikai is really working hard; I don’t want to give up just like that. I believe he will do his utmost to protect me."
At this moment, Han Chunxue, who had been silent, spoke: "Naive, living is not about imagination. Do you think it’s enough that he treats you well? We’ve lived through it; do you think we would harm you?"
Sun Zhenling, seeing her mother angry, dared not speak further and turned to look for help, seeking the support of Second Uncle’s family.
Everyone gathered today for the purpose of tomorrow’s full moon celebration of little Han Feifei, and they couldn’t let serious matters interfere, so Han Jingchen wanted to quickly wrap up this topic.
Looking at his niece’s pitiful appearance: "Okay, Yuan Yikai seems reliable enough.
Though I am quite unsatisfied with him proposing a breakup under the guise of not wanting Zhenling to suffer with him later, it’s still a form of protection. Also, his family members are indeed greedy, but it’s not impossible to deal with them.
If Yuan Yikai really wants to break free from them, he might end up being labeled unfilial, but if we intervene, the outcome will be different."
Han Chunxue turned her head to look over: "Second Brother."
Han Jingchen sighed: "I wouldn’t harm Zhenling; with those endlessly greedy people, we definitely can’t play by the usual rules."
Sun Hewei and his brother-in-law Han Jingheng exchanged a glance, then turned to Han Jingchen: "Second Brother, do you have a plan?"
Han Jingchen nodded lightly: "This matter, let’s discuss it after Feifei’s full moon celebration."
Everyone quickly realized they still had an important event ahead.
Sun Zhenling had just sighed with relief when she heard Han Jingchen say: "Until I agree, Zhenling, you’re not allowed to meet that boy Yuan Yikai."
Sun Zhenling asked puzzled: "Why?"
Han Jingchen said very sternly: "Don’t ask why; if you don’t listen, don’t blame Second Uncle for not helping you. I’m not joking."
The previous investigation only revealed past matters; now that the boy has broken up with the niece, he naturally plans to arrange another investigation to see if there’s anything else fishy before deciding whether to intervene.
