Chapter 883: Have You Finished Handling Things?

After greeting everyone one by one, He Jinxuan was pulled away by his uncle Sun Baowei to play chess.

Only after winning two out of three games did he gain his freedom.

Seeing Xinyan watering flowers in the yard, He Jinxuan went over: "Yanyan, let me help you."

Xinyan smiled and patted her hands: "No need to get your hands dirty, I’m almost done here."

He Jinxuan ignored Xinyan’s words and directly took the hose from her hand: "You rest for a bit on the side, I’ll take care of it."

Seeing he was already hands-on, Xinyan no longer protested and stood aside: "Have you finished handling your matters?"

He Jinxuan nodded: "Yes, it’s all done."

He pulled the hose forward a bit, watering all the unwatered flowers, then said: "The verdict is in three days. I asked around privately, and Jian Minru’s case, with multiple charges, at least fifteen years."

His mood was quite heavy when he said this.

Seeing his expression, Xinyan felt a bit annoyed: "What, you’re feeling sorry for her?"

Seeing Xinyan unhappy, He Jinxuan quickly explained: "Don’t misunderstand, how could I feel sorry for her, it’s just that this matter is also related to Lu Changjun.

And I received a call from Lu Changjun; he will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, after many years apart, we’ll meet under these circumstances.

The elder of the Jian Family contacted him, and also the elders of the Lu Family, hoping they would spare Jian Minru, but neither the Lu Family nor Lu Changjun agreed."

Even though He Jinxuan explained, Xinyan’s mood didn’t improve much: "You mean Lu Changjun will attend the trial three days later?"

He Jinxuan lightly nodded: "Yes."

Thinking Xinyan had misunderstood him earlier, he explained again: "Whatever punishment Jian Minru receives has nothing to do with me, it’s just because of him, that Lu Changjun and I, once friends without secrets, have become familiar strangers, and after Jian Minru’s verdict, we can never return to the past."

Seeing Xinyan silent, He Jinxuan felt uneasy: "Yanyan, will you trust me, please?"

Xinyan was not one to hold grudges, especially since there were indeed underlying issues in this matter, so she nodded: "I understand, you don’t need to worry about it."

He Jinxuan turned off the faucet, coiled up the hose neatly after watering, washed his hands, and then walked to Xinyan’s side: "If you’re unhappy, that’s the biggest issue for me."

Xinyan glanced at him sideways: "You’re becoming more and more smooth-talking; I wouldn’t believe it if someone hadn’t taught you."

He Jinxuan took Xinyan’s hand: "I just often hear colleagues chatting nonsense, and I know what you women fear the most. Some things must be explained face-to-face, absolutely can’t be ignored or left unattended."

Hearing this, Xinyan felt quite better: "Alright, I naturally trust you, but you must remember your status. I’m not afraid of trouble, but I hate it. Do you understand what I mean?"

He Jinxuan certainly understood and was aware of Xinyan’s character, she was definitely not one to compromise, so he said solemnly: "Don’t worry, I will always be mindful of my words and actions, no one will ever make things difficult for you."

Xinyan looked at He Jinxuan: "Will the Jian Family and Lu Family give you any trouble?"

She couldn’t help but think more, as this wasn’t a trivial matter. As her father said, due to Jian Minru’s lack of awareness, after the matter was exposed, many people got involved.

He Jinxuan smiled: "Is Yanyan concerned about me?"
