He Jinxuan is someone who prefers to finish todayâs tasks today. After returning the car, he immediately found a place to call Han Jingchen.
Upon hearing someone pick up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Uncle, itâs me, He Jinxuan."
Hearing He Jinxuan on the phone, he thought something had happened to his young lady, but he didnât directly mention Yanyanâs name, he instead asked indirectly: "Why are you calling?"
He Jinxuan didnât hide anything and directly told Han Jingchen what Ji Xiaowen did today, "What do you think about this matter?"
Han Jingchen didnât expect Ji Xiaowen to be so unaware of the consequences and dare to contact Xinyan privately, even putting Xinyan in a bad light in front of classmates, thinking they couldnât do anything against him?
Han Jingchen knew that He Jinxuan made this call probably to gauge his attitude: "I know about this, donât worry, no one is more important to me than Yanyan.
You donât need to take action, Iâll handle it."
He Jinxuan made this call firstly to let Han Jingchen know about the matter, secondly to test his attitude, and thirdly, if he dared to let it slide, he would personally deal with the Ji Family.
Since Han Jingchen had said so, he waited to see what would happen.
Of course, Han Jingchen mentally gave He Jinxuan high marks for his actions, as prioritizing Xinyan above all made him feel comfortable.
Meanwhile, Xinyan was unaware of the member-in-law duoâs strategies.
She went back to school to get her textbooks from the dormitory; when Jiang Peiqin saw her come in, she greeted: "Back already."
Xinyan noticed everyone was in the dormitory and just nodded in response, saying "Hmm."
Jiang Peiqin approached her: "Where did you go?"
Seeing nobody was paying attention, Xinyan didnât hold back: "My partner has been transferred to work in the Capital, so I went to his new residence in their unitâs compound."
Jiang Peiqin nudged Xinyan with her elbow: "Wow, did the unit assign him a house?"
Xinyan nodded: "Yeah, heâs thinking about fixing it up and wanted my input."
Jiang Peiqin placed her hand on Xinyanâs shoulder: "Your partner seems quite capable."
Nearby, Cui Haili overheard their conversation: "Xinyan, did your partner transfer here?"
Xinyan nodded.
Cui Haili showed some envy: "Which unit did he transfer to?"
Xinyan smiled lightly: "The city transportation team."
Cui Hailiâs eyes lit up, giving Xinyan a thumbs-up: "The transportation team is a great unit, their benefits are much better than others."
What she wasnât saying was that her husbandâs village had someone working at the county transportation team, and whenever villagers saw him, they warmly greeted him. He would often run transport to Shanghai, helping villagers bring back things at times.
Though anything brought back would not be a free favor, naturally he would receive some benefits in return.
Xinyan merely smiled without responding to her words.
Jiang Peiqin timely spoke up: "Itâs getting late, time to go."
Outside the dormitory entrance, she asked Xinyan: "Is the book you were translating almost finished?"
Xinyan wasnât sure why she was asking but replied: "It should be done by next week."
Jiang Peiqin, getting a clear answer: "I have a relative who has a few books looking for someone to translate; they came to me. Are you interested?"
Xinyan turned to Jiang Peiqin: "Why donât you give it a try?"
Jiang Peiqin shrugged: "You know what Iâm like, the freshman courses are hard enough for me to keep up with. Asking me to do it might keep your relative waiting until the flowers have withered."
