Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 691

Chapter 691: Chapter 687: But Forgot to Account for Human Nature

——————

The business was settled, Yan Jinsu sat for a while and, upon receiving a hint from Zhou Zhenghui, immediately excused herself.

Overall, the meeting went quite friendly.

Even Zhou Guorong unexpectedly saw his eldest daughter-in-law getting along so well with Xie Jingzi and Yan Jinsu, he looked at her with new respect.

When Yan Jinsu and her group returned to the Siheyuan, they surprisingly found her busy husband at home, his broad arms holding the adorable Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, with the three grandfathers ’communicating’ in the main hall.

Hearing the noise, Wang Chunmei hurried over from the kitchen and, seeing Third Sister-in-law and the others had returned, happily said:

"Third Sister-in-law, Xiaozi, you’ve come back just in time, dinner is almost ready."

"Really? Let me come help you..." Xie Jingzi, who had already felt her stomach rumbling in the car due to Sister Fan describing delicious food, was very eager upon hearing there was food.

However, before leaving with Wang Chunmei, Xie Jingzi struggled with giving her third brother, who still had a stern face, a hard stare. She felt troubled inside and seeing so many people in the living room, she couldn’t ’criticize’ Third Brother in front of everyone, so she opted to look after her own stomach first.

Yan Jinsu, unaware of the ’lawsuit’ among the younger aunt, saw her husband and children all present, and her face lit up with a big smile.

After dinner, Zhou Zhenghui planned to take his wife back to the ancestral mansion, but Xie Jingzi was dawdling and occasionally glancing at Third Brother. Yan Jinsu got tired on behalf of her younger aunt and pushed her husband to have a ’private word’ with the younger aunt.

Xie Jingzi had this conversation with Xie Jingchen:

"Third Brother, although I know it’s not your fault that you look this way, you still have to take better care of yourself," Xie Jingzi said, bowing her head under the cold gaze of Third Brother, continuing to communicate in a ’tough-love’ manner:

"Really, Third Brother, if you let your face keep ’shriveling’, you’ll lose Third Sister-in-law!"

Xie Jingchen squinted his eyes and snorted, "Focus."

"Ah, what focus?" Xie Jingzi, frightened by the cold grunt from Third Brother, shrank her shoulders, then looked up confusedly at Third Brother and said innocently:

"The focus, the focus is that Third Sister-in-law kept staring at Sister Fan’s husband today! And yet his face is nowhere near as handsome and refined as my Uncle’s..."

After hearing his younger sister’s outlandish remark, Xie Jingchen simply turned around, frowning.

If he didn’t know his younger sister was a huge fan of his little wife, he would have suspected his sister of disparaging his beloved wife.

What nonsense? His little wife clearly loves him the most, how could she show admiration for another man!

Thinking this, his rough large hand subconsciously touched his own rough face.

"Hey, Third Brother, did you really understand what I said?" Xie Jingzi followed behind Third Brother, asking in a low voice.

The closer they got to the main hall, the quieter her voice became, like the buzz of a mosquito.

Her mood also became increasingly volatile and uncontrollable, Yan Jinxian had already been injured by Zhou Yizhou twice. If not for maintaining her status as a wife in the Zhou family, Yan Jinxian would have long ceased to care about her husband’s life or death.

However, Zhou Yizhou must not die—her cunning elder brother-in-law seemed to have noticed something wrong with his condition, summoning Zhou Yizhou once every two or three days.

In the past, although Zhou Yizhou was loved by his parents, he always listened obediently to Zhou Yilang. That was a genuine, heartfelt fear in Zhou Yizhou; whenever Zhou Yilang called him, he did not dare to resist at all and would rush to comply immediately, a sight that really frustrated Yan Jinsian.

Her husband was incompetent, and if she wanted to attend the Lantern Festival evening banquet organized by the main Zhou branch, she really needed to employ some tactics.

Thinking this, hiding in the corner, she saw Zhou Yizhou finally calm down his temper, and relaxedly leaning back on the sofa, Yan Jinsian finally let out a sigh of relief.

She still knew how to control her husband and make him listen.

"Husband, you, with you like this, how are we to live our lives?" Yan Jinsu cried tearfully, "Why don’t you trust me? When I hired those thugs, I just wanted to find out what’s so special about Yan Jinsu that the Yan Family recognises only her and disregards me!"

This statement was half true, half false; if it weren’t for her own actions, Yan Jinxian would have believed it.

After all, her past identity was indeed that of the proud, legitimate granddaughter of the Yan family, where both relatives of her generation and the elders catered to her and went along with her!

Thus, when she was driven to a corner, it was somewhat justified that she resorted to using shady connections to investigate Yan Jinsu.

Regarding how she came to know these people, after all, she used to be the legitimate granddaughter of the Yan family, and she certainly had some close good friends.

Yan Jinsu accounted for all the loopholes but forgot to take into account one thing—human nature.
