Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 826: Chapter 826: As If the Pan Family Hasn’t Lost Enough Face

He had considered taking a detour to leave, but with so many people coming and going, and Pan Huixin being such an airhead, he didn’t want to get entangled in unnecessary trouble because of her.

When Pan Huixin heard these heartless words, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. This pitiful expression didn’t evoke a bit of sympathy from Huo Jingrui; instead, it made him dislike her even more.

Just as Huo Jingrui was about to make a move, he saw the Pan Family’s main consort’s youngest son, Pan Zhenxing, approaching with friends: ”Pan Zhenxing, hurry up and take your cousin away.”

Pan Huixin didn’t expect to run into her cousin and was just about to explain when Huo Jingrui left, bypassing her without giving her a chance.

In front of all his buddies, Pan Zhenxing’s face turned colorful, wishing he could crack open this cousin’s mind. What a mess!

Everyone in the compound knew that Huo Family’s fourth son already had a betrothed, and the Huo Family had announced they would hold a wedding banquet for Huo Family’s fourth son at the end of the year.

This airheaded cousin dared to block people in a busy place like this, was she trying to bring more shame to the Pan Family?

His voice tinged with annoyance: ”Cousin, why are you still standing there? Do you want me to call over my aunt?”

Pan Huixin looked dejected, the hard-earned opportunity slipping away just like that.

Huo Jingrui cared little for how Pan Huixin might feel, nor was he concerned about what others might say about the Pan Family. His focus was entirely on getting his current tasks done quickly, organizing the family housing to Yunyi’s liking, and returning to pick her up as soon as possible.

Just as he entered the Commander’s office, his subordinate, Battalion Commander Zhang Changping, charged in, and the two began grappling in the office. The Commander not only didn’t intervene but stood by, watching the event unfold.

After a quarter of an hour, they finally broke off their tussle.

Zhang Changping gave Huo Jingrui a bear hug: ”Deputy Commander, your skills are sharper than ever, how are we supposed to compare?”

Commander Feng Yujun nodded, ”With his current prowess, I’m really at ease for the upcoming all-military competition. Jingrui, you came back just in time.”

As they sat down, Commander Feng laughed, ”It’s perfect. Join me at the division commander’s office this afternoon.”

Zhang Changping chimed in, ”Deputy Commander, I heard you got married. Where’s the wedding candy?”

A smile appeared on Huo Jingrui’s face at these words: ”You all won’t miss out.”

Saying this, he walked to the door, grabbed the bag he had left there, pulled out three big bags of candy, and tossed them onto Zhang Changping, ”Make sure to personally deliver them to each battalion later so everyone’s in on the celebration.”

Commander Feng looked at the application Huo Jingrui handed over, ”In the past, whether it was the cultural troupe or the family quarters, countless girls surrounded you, and you never even spared a glance. Who knew you’d skip the dating phase and directly submit a marriage report after a mission.

When your wife comes to join the army, I must take a good look at her, to see what peerless beauty managed to captivate our aloof Deputy Commander Huo’s soul.”

Huo Jingrui, looking smug, said, ”Of course, my wife is the best.”

Commander Feng looked at his smug face, ”Alright, talk about confidence overload.”

After discussing work, Huo Jingrui finally said, ”If you’ll excuse me, Commander, I’ll head over to logistics to select a house first.”

Commander Feng nodded, ”I had already mentioned this to logistics. Luckily, there’s a new unit in the tubular building that just became available, and I told them to reserve it for you.”

Huo Jingrui had already made plans, but he still thanked the Commander.

After leaving the Commander’s office, while thinking about how to approach the logistics department, he heard someone calling out to him ahead: ”Deputy Regiment Commander Huo.”
