Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Here Comes the Eccentric Neighbor

Huo Jiayuan, fearing that Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law might misunderstand, quickly waved her hand and said, "No, he went out to handle some things and will be back soon."

She felt embarrassed to admit that she had just casually mentioned how the fish grilled by the state-run restaurant chef at the factory gate was exquisite, and that fellow insisted on going out to see if it was available tonight.

There was no stopping him.

Yunyi, after listening, did not ask further. She saw a woman at the kitchen door and asked, "Who is this?"

Huo Jiayuan hurriedly introduced, "This is Auntie Qi, who just moved into our housing estate, living diagonally across from us."

Yunyi nodded at the woman and looked at what she was holding.

The woman followed Yunyi’s gaze to the things in her hand, "Sorry, we just moved in, and our house is not prepared with anything. We just wanted to borrow some, and we’ll return it once we get settled."

Yunyi, being highly perceptive, could tell just from the woman’s shifting gaze that she was not speaking her true mind. She clearly understood that these things were unlikely to be returned.

She gave Huo Jingrui a look.

Huo Jingrui immediately understood, "Jiayuan, is the meal ready? I’ve been busy all day, and I’m hungry."

The woman might have been scared by Huo Jingrui’s serious demeanor, "Well, I should get going now, you guys carry on."

Saying this, she didn’t bother to mention borrowing salt anymore and quickly walked toward the courtyard exit.

Huo Jiayuan stretched her neck to watch the person leave the courtyard, finally letting out a long breath, "It’s better to have less interaction with the Qi family in the future, Auntie Qi is really something."
