My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 237 - 43: The Chick

"Uncle Yu, how could you not find out? The family that moved in across the street is Lin Xiaoguai’s family, and her husband is that influential man you mentioned! If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have lost face today," Lu Rong said with a face full of indignation and dissatisfaction.

As for how she lost face, even someone as foolish as she knew to keep it a secret.

What?

Yu Bingliang was stunned. Was Lin Xiaoguai’s husband the lost younger son that the Han Family had just retrieved?

"That’s impossible... Didn’t they say that son of the Han Family is only thirty years old, and no one has heard of him having a wife or children," Yu Bingliang murmured in disbelief.

"What Han Family?" Lu Rong asked, her eyes shining as she clutched his sleeve.

"You know General Han Kuang, don’t you?" Yu Bingliang hesitated before asking.

"Of course, I do. He is a National Pillar," Lu Rong exclaimed with excitement.

"The newcomers across the street from us are his estranged younger son, and the matter was personally arranged by him with the guard. If I had not happened to overhear that guard talking to Chief Du, I wouldn’t know any of this." The grudges and entanglements of the Han Family were well known among the Upper Layer of the Capital, but not to someone with humble origins like him, a brute who grew up from the grassroots. Moreover, no one could access Shen Chi’s personal records except for a few top officials today.

"I don’t care, I like Lin Xiaoguai’s husband, and you, Uncle Yu, told me to seize the opportunity. I will make Lin Xiaoguai step down and replace her as Mrs. Han." At this time, she still believed Shen Chi’s surname was Han now.

"That won’t do, he’s already married," Yu Bingliang instinctively objected.

"Why not? After all, Lin Xiaoguai was someone he married when he was down on his luck, and her family background certainly isn’t anything special. I am your real daughter, am I still not better than a commoner woman?" Lu Rong persisted doggedly.

Amazingly, Yu Bingliang was truly swayed by her words. He hesitated and said, "You do have a point when you put it that way, but divorce is no laughing matter. If that younger son of the Han Family is affected and discharged from the military because of it..."

"That’s easy. As long as it’s Lin Xiaoguai who shamelessly hooks up with some random man and ruins her reputation, then when they divorce, all the fault would lie with her alone," Lu Rong thought bitterly. Lin Xiaoguai, you want to act high and mighty? I’ll make sure you fall from grace, become despised by everyone, slink out of the Military District in disgrace, and get chased out of Capital University.

— Unknown to Lu Rong, her reputation in the Military District had already become notorious after that scene in front of the gate.

Huang Xue Mei, who had been eavesdropping on their entire conversation, could not help but snicker. They were dreaming in broad daylight, as if everyone else was a fool. She had personally met Lin Xiaoguai before, and her appearance and demeanor were both exceptionally outstanding, her speech refined, not at all like someone from a petty household, and comparable to the boudoir ladies she had seen. If she were a man, she definitely would not give up Lin Xiaoguai for someone like Lu Rong.

Yu Liangcai considered more than his mother. His face darkened as he said to Lu Rong, "You better behave, do you think you can scheme against a family like the Han Family? Even if Mrs. Han’s reputation was ruined and the marriage fell apart, do you think they wouldn’t trace back the sabotage to you? Even if by some chance you weren’t discovered, what makes you think Mr. Han would take a fancy to you, a branded-name girl?"

Yu Bingliang regained a bit of sanity. Seeing Yu Liangcai still blocking her path at this time, Lu Rong got angry, "Why wouldn’t he fancy me? I am Uncle Yu’s daughter!"

She paused, seeming to realize her words were somewhat inappropriate and quickly tried to rectify, "I know you don’t like me, brother, and don’t wish me well, but if I marry well, won’t it also be of help to you in the future?"

While saying this, her thoughts turned to dealing with Yu Liangcai first once she made it big, resentful of the fact that he lorded over her because he was a son!

Idiot! Even flattering words came out twisted on your tongue, thinking everyone else is deaf to the insincerity?

Seeing the foolish appearance she put on, Yu Liangcai was extremely annoyed and, with a sneer, opened the buttons of his Zhongshan suit and said, "A daughter, but an illegitimate one, right? Do you think those influential families would rather marry a common but reputable woman, or an illegitimate daughter from a Major General’s family?"

"And do you think those beauties in the Capital are dead? Mr. Han obviously is capable, and now has a powerful background. Which beauties can’t he choose? Why would he pick someone like you who lacks beauty, brains, character, and even likes to steal?"

His words were anything but polite. Yu Bingliang was clearly embarrassed but had come to his senses. However, Lu Rong did not find Yu Liangcai’s words reasonable at all but felt that he was deliberately opposing her.
