Chapter 1184: Chapter 1184: She’s Just Deluding Herself

After sending off the He Family, Mr. Nie directly got angry: "Nie Hongguo, how much do you know about what happened today?"

Nie Hongguo truly didn’t know what his wife would do: "Dad, I really didn’t know."

Mr. Nie, with a stern face, glanced towards the living room: "See the guests out, and call Ziqiang to the study, I have something to say to you both."

Nie Hongguo knew he couldn’t avoid a scolding today, so he replied: "Understood."

When he entered the living room, the Jiao Family was still complaining: "It’s just a matter of a few words, look at your brother-in-law, how does he talk?"

Nie Hongguo’s face immediately darkened, suppressing his anger: "Yushan, see your mother out now, or you’ll be late for work."

After saying that, he directly left the living room, not giving the Yue Family a good face. He was really angry.

Seeing his brother and sister-in-law return after seeing the guests out: "Ziqiang, Dad wants us in the study, he has something to say."

The two brothers went to the study.

Mr. Nie calmed down a bit, looking at his two sons: "Hongguo, you brothers have already split the family, I don’t want today’s incident to happen again."

Nie Hongguo looked at his brother with a slightly displeased face: "Dad, I understand. Ziqiang, I’m really sorry about today."

Nie Ziqiang was indeed somewhat unhappy; the eldest sister-in-law’s family was really excessive: "Brother, my fiancee Yanqing’s job was arranged thanks to Third reaching out to many people. This favor must be repaid. It’s a good thing my future third sister-in-law is understanding." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Nie Hongguo naturally understood what his brother meant—they hadn’t even asked his prospective father-in-law to help get his sister-in-law a job, let alone anyone else.

Mr. Nie saw the two brothers talking it over: "Alright, it’s good that it’s sorted out. Don’t let this affect the bond between you two."

Mr. Nie was truly worried. After all, his younger son had just returned to the Capital, and there wasn’t much bond between the brothers. He feared this incident would cause a rift.

Fortunately, both sons were sensible.

Meanwhile, the He Family leaving the Nie house had varied expressions.

Gao Yumei looked mocking: "That eldest daughter-in-law of the Nie Family is quite the strategist, wasn’t she on purpose?"

Everyone understood, but no one answered her.

After a while, He Jinxuan finally spoke: "That’s wishful thinking on her part. I’ve never bothered my father-in-law with my own matters, why would I trouble him for someone else?"

He said this for the He Family to hear, to prevent them from having ideas later on.

Gao Yumei noticed Third was unhappy and didn’t dare say more, fearing it might ruin their previous requests.

There wasn’t much to tidy up at home, just putting up the red wedding decals tomorrow afternoon. Then, the day after, they would prepare some meals at home for those helping out.

At home, He Jinxuan brought over a stack of red paper: "Sister-in-law, could you make some paste later and prepare more red envelopes?"

Wang Erni agreed with a smile: "Sure, just let me know if there’s anything else."

She was quick to get things done, and when Guo Yueyue heard there was work, she handed her child to her mother-in-law and came to help.

Gao Yumei saw her two sisters-in-law had started working and, having a favor to ask of Third, she dared not slack off and worked diligently too.

For a moment, the scene was lively and harmonious.

Meanwhile, Xinyan received a call from her senior brother: "Yanyan, our hospital admitted a seriously injured patient. Due to his special condition, we cannot stop the bleeding. Can you come over?"

Ma Chengxi felt a bit embarrassed. His junior sister was about to get married, and he was asking her to help with such a bloody scene. The main concern was that if not handled well, they might lose the patient.

If it were someone superstitious, they definitely wouldn’t agree to come over.

But being the deputy director of the hospital, and since he knew the injured person had some connections with his family, he had to make this call to his junior sister.

Xinyan had everything ready and didn’t really want to stay home anymore, entertaining guests till her face was stiff from smiling: "Senior brother, I’ll go over right away."

She turned to explain the situation to her mom and elder sister-in-law and then went to pack her things in the backyard.
