Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant Chapter 391: It’s a pity for someone as smart as you to beco
Throughout the trip, the family had been rather caring towards Yunyi because she had allowed them to use her bunk. As they were nearing the station, they made small talk with Yunyi and even gave her an address. The middle-aged woman nad Guo Caixia smiled at Yunyi. "Do you want to co by our house to familiarize yourself with it before heading back to the county?"
Yunyi politely declined. "Not this ti, I’m in a rush to report back. Next ti I co to the city, I’ll definitely co visit." As they spoke, the train slowly entered the station.
They got off the train together and walked towards the exit. But as soon as Yunyi stepped out of the station, she saw Huo Jingrui standing out from the crowd. She couldn’t quite believe her eyes. "Why are you here?"
Huo Jingrui reached out to take her luggage. "I’m here to pick you up." He had wanted to surprise her, which was why he hadn’t called beforehand.
Yunyi was truly surprised. "How did you know I would take this train back?"
Huo Jingrui smiled. "Naturally, I got the news from the production crew." Yunyi then rembered that he knew the director.
The few people who had gotten off the train with Yunyi saw that soone had co to pick her up. After exchanging a few polite words, they tactfully left. Once they were gone, Huo Jingrui leaned in closer to Yunyi. "Were you surprised?"
Yunyi nodded with a smile. "Yeah, it was quite unexpected. Are you on a mission passing through, or did you co specifically to see ?"
Huo Jingrui led her to a car not far away and said as he opened the car door, "Get in first. I have sothing even more surprising to tell you later."
Yunyi was settled into the passenger seat. After storing the luggage, Huo Jingrui finally got into the car.
Yunyi tilted her head, waiting for him to speak. Her expectant expression clearly delighted Huo Jingrui. He decided not to beat around the bush, as he needed her cooperation. Having received approval from his superiors, he could reveal so details of his mission to Yunyi. "I’m here on assignnt," he began, "currently serving as the deputy director of the county machinery factory."
Yunyi, ever so perceptive, asked, "You’ve been on missions here before, haven’t you? Won’t soone recognize you?"
Huo Jingrui replied nonchalantly, "No. The people I interacted with last ti were comrades sent in advance by our superiors—individuals who had proven their reliability. We were rely the mission executors and never made any public appearances."
Yunyi imdiately asked, "But the people caught on the mountain saw you. Isn’t there a chance they could leak your information through so unknown channels?"
Huo Jingrui turned to her. "With a sharp mind like yours, it’s a sha you’re just a doctor." He then chuckled and explained, "Those individuals were all secretly transported back to the Capital. They’ll never have an opportunity to send out any ssages."
What he didn’t ntion was that those individuals wouldn’t have an easy ti after returning to the Capital. Subjected to special interrogation thods, it would be impossible for them to conceal anything. Afterward, they would naturally et the fate they deserved.
Hearing there were no lingering threats, Yunyi didn’t press further. As for the matters concerning the Ye Family, she didn’t ntion them to Huo Jingrui either.
Truth be told, she didn’t dislike the mbers of the Ye Family. Of course, she knew not everyone would like her, and she could accept that.
The day she visited the Ye Family, nearly everyone was present. Only Ye Wenhui and Ye Wenjuan, who were in the countryside, were absent. Even her younger paternal aunt’s husband, Shao Guoping, who worked out of town, had spared no effort to return for the occasion.
When the Second Elder Grandfather of the Ye Family saw Yunyi, his eyes were filled with remorse. The welcoming gift he gave Yunyi was very precious: a complete set of jade jewelry. He presented it to her in a box, saying, "This is a small token from your Second Grandfather. You mustn’t refuse it."
Yunyi had wanted to refuse, but Elder Master Ye stopped her. "Accept it. It’s a heartfelt gesture from your Second Grandfather."
