Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 614

Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Her Situation Is Difficult, So She Naturally Wants to Find a Shortcut

Everyone had a look of sudden realization on their faces, but then someone asked, "So why did Zhang Wenjuan act the way she did today?"

The female educated youth who didn’t get along with Zhang Wenjuan sneered, "Her situation isn’t good now, so she naturally wants to find an alternative shortcut."

At this moment, a soft voice chimed in, "When we came up earlier, we indeed saw someone chopping wood over there, but did any of you see clearly who it was?"

Then she mumbled softly, "Anyway, I didn’t see clearly."

Someone then added, "The thickets over there are so high, it’d be strange if we could see clearly."

"Alright, stop talking, if we don’t speed up, we’ll definitely miss mealtime."

Meanwhile, Huo Jingrui, who normally would need more than an hour of walking to get down the mountain, changed direction right after leaving Zhang Wenjuan’s sight and used his Qinggong skills to switch to another peak.

He deliberately hid the four bundles of wood he had originally chopped, and once in front of those people again, he started chopping wood anew, gathering six bundles before heading down the mountain.

While descending, he coincidentally met the main group returning, having company along the way.

Moreover, he intentionally slowed his pace so the time he returned matched the others.

From afar, he could see the infirmary entrance crowded with people, "Chuyunyi, he’s your fiancé, so naturally, in case of trouble, I’m here to see you."

Yunyi’s eyes flashed with impatience. Really, giving you face, since you insist on courting disaster, I won’t spare your face either: "Indeed, like father like son, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, a rat’s child will burrow holes. Your mother was a profit-driven person, and it seems you’re just like her. The genetic inheritance is quite strong."

Huo Jingrui walked in with a stern face, coldly glancing at Zhang Wenjuan still crawling on the ground, "What were you saying just now?"

Zhang Wenjuan regretted a bit now, wondering if she had misstepped—this man’s eyes were terrifying. The pain in her body, coupled with his oppressive manner, made her break out in a sweat.

For a long moment, she couldn’t utter a word.

Huo Jingrui’s icy voice came again, "In front of all these people, clarify the situation. In my life, I despise those who stir up trouble for nothing."

Zhang Wenjuan understood now; today’s matter wasn’t about her extorting someone, but whether he’d let it slide or not, making her heart panic slightly.

However, she quickly calmed herself, as no one saw what happened on the mountain. She was determined to accuse him of violating her; she didn’t believe it wouldn’t work unless he didn’t care about his future.
