Chapter 1303: Chapter 1303: Can’t Cause More Harm Than Good

After returning to the Capital, the two groups went their separate ways.

Mr. Ye was busy going abroad to take care of his personal affairs, so he had his people book a flight for the next day.

Xinyan and He Jinxuan first returned to the small courtyard near the school, took a bath in the space, and then went to Grandpa’s place together.

As soon as they entered, little brother Han Chaojun ran over to them: "Missed you, sister."

Xinyan directly picked him up and spun him around in the air: "Sister missed our Junjun too."

She then kissed the little guy on the cheek.

The little guy was overjoyed and returned the kiss on Xinyan’s face, causing He Jinxuan to feel a bit jealous: "Come on, Junjun, let brother-in-law hold you for a while."

Little Han Chaojun reluctantly looked at his sister, then at his brother-in-law, and still extended his little hand: "Brother-in-law, missed you, Jun."

He Jinxuan was amused by his little brother-in-law’s cute voice: "Hmm, brother-in-law missed Junjun too, and brought you lots of goodies."

Of course, since they left in a hurry, these snacks weren’t prepared by the He Family, but were arranged in advance by Mr. Ye.

Gu Wanqing saw her son-in-law playing with her son in the yard and pulled her daughter into the house, following them inside.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother.

As soon as they entered the house, Gu Wanqing asked: "Tell me, why did you come back early?"

It was the New Year, and Xinyan originally didn’t want to talk about these things, but she was about to mention Mr. Ye to divert the topic.

Unexpectedly, Gu Wanqing gave her a glare: "If you don’t want us to worry, just honestly tell us what’s going on?"

Xinyan put her arms around Gu Wanqing’s neck: "Really, it’s nothing. Don’t overthink it."

Old Madam Gu handed a glass of water to her granddaughter: "Alright, speak up, is there anything you can’t say to me and your mom?"

Seeing this, she had no choice but to confess: "Actually, it’s nothing much. Mainly, it’s because Mr. Ye is in a rush to go abroad to handle family affairs, and secondly, He Jinxuan’s second brother and sister-in-law are quite troublesome."

Hearing this, Gu Wanqing pulled Xinyan to sit on the sofa: "Tell us more, so we can have a sense about it."

It wasn’t anything that couldn’t be told, so Xinyan started to speak: "When we got married, my parents-in-law brought their family over, and the second couple borrowed a thousand yuan from us, promising to return it when they had money.

When we lent it to them, we already assumed we wouldn’t get it back. My thinking was that buying some peace with the money would be nice, and if they could return it, great. If not, they probably wouldn’t ask again, giving us peace.

But unexpectedly, this time back, his second brother and sister-in-law said they lost all the money and wanted to borrow more. We definitely couldn’t agree, so we argued a bit.

The main problem is the couple has no sense of responsibility. They think since we have money, we must help them. I really can’t agree with this mentality, and He Jinxuan directly refused them.

My mother-in-law sided with them, thinking brothers should help each other, but the second house couple clearly sees us as easy targets, probably never intending to return the borrowed money.

Since Mr. Ye was eager to go abroad for personal matters, we just returned to the Capital."

Gu Wanqing nodded after listening: "Indeed, they are a bit too much, but thankfully Jinxuan is clear-headed."

Xinyan didn’t see Grandpa or Uncle and asked: "Where are Grandpa and Uncle?"

Old Madam Gu put down the cup in her hand: "Your Grandpa went next door to play chess, and your Uncle went to buy lamb and beef rolls, knowing you’d be coming tonight. We’re having hot pot tonight."

Then, thinking of something, she glanced outside: "Someone’s coming over for dinner tomorrow night, so don’t make any plans, you and Jinxuan."

Seeing her grandma’s expression, Xinyan immediately knew something was up and quickly moved to her grandma’s side: "Grandma, what guests? Is it related to Uncle?"

Old Madam Gu laughed, tapping Xinyan’s forehead: "Can’t you pretend? It’s really no fun."

Xinyan laughed so hard she rocked back and forth: "Grandma, come on, doesn’t everyone want their kids to be smart? And you’re complaining?"

Then she hooked her arm around her grandma’s, shaking it and whining: "Tell me, please, I’m too curious. Satisfy my curiosity."

Old Madam Gu looked at her like this: "Alright, stop shaking. You’re making me dizzy."

Xinyan stopped, eyes glowing, staring at her grandma: "Quick, tell me."

Old Madam Gu lowered her voice slightly: "Your Uncle says it’s not certain yet, and we shouldn’t overthink it."

Xinyan didn’t believe it; if it wasn’t anything, Uncle wouldn’t be bringing someone home for dinner: "Alright, then we won’t make a fuss in front of them, just let it be natural and follow Uncle’s lead."

Old Madam Gu nodded: "That’s what your Grandpa and I think too, don’t want to cause trouble."
