Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2716: Chapter 2712: What Happened

A person’s thoughts will reflect their state at the time.

Chu Molin, having been guided by Qin Xue, has learned quite a bit across various fields, so to him, this is not unfamiliar.

But how best to put it? A wife’s secret can’t be told; it’s better if he knows it alone. As for Xie Jun, let him misunderstand.

Determined not to speak, Chu Molin reasoned that under these circumstances, what could Xie Jun say?

Thus, Chu Molin thought the best plan was to smooth over Xie Jun’s question.

"This proves that I thrive under pressure and can succeed at anything," Chu Molin said, not at all modestly.

He never felt inferior to others. Regardless of how many decisions he made or fields he tried, he was always the leader. So even if he changed industries, he wouldn’t do poorly; he was confident in his abilities.

It had to be said, Chu Molin indeed possessed this capability. Not only was he naturally smart and quick to learn, but he also had Qin Xue helping him as his wife. He couldn’t fail even if he wanted to.

"You’re really unreserved and overly confident, aren’t you sure you can do it?" Xie Jun wasn’t trying to undermine Chu Molin, just disliking his arrogance.

Clearly, they were both human, yet he couldn’t match Chu Molin. In the past, he had helped Molin, and had continued to shield him. Even his own brothers hadn’t done for him what Chu Molin had, let alone anyone else.

But he couldn’t say this out loud, just kept it silently in his heart. His family owed Molin and his wife too much. Instead of not wanting to repay, he kept it in mind, ready to help whenever they needed it.

That’s truly what Xie Jun thought, but Chu Molin was unaware.

"Where’s Mr. Xu, why isn’t he here?" Chu Molin didn’t see Xu Fangzhou and wondered where he could be at that time.

"He went to a meeting and probably won’t be back until evening. Do you need something from him?" The person Chu Molin was asking about was in town for a meeting; if he wanted to see him, he’d have to wait.

"No, just came to see you all. Can’t inquire when I don’t see anyone?" Chu Molin didn’t intend to call Xie Jun foolish, but how could he miss such an obvious issue?

Sometimes, people are like this, aware of the matter without doing much, just gradually addressing it.

"You didn’t come just for this, did you?" Xie Jun looked at Chu Molin, knowing he wasn’t someone who visited without reason or someone who frequented places for no good reason, so it’d be odd if he wasn’t here for something specific.

"Originally nothing was planned, but now I feel there’s something to discuss with you." Although nothing urgent had brought them initially, that didn’t mean there wasn’t anything now.

"What is it? Go ahead." Xie Jun wasn’t sure what Chu Molin wanted to discuss, so he needed to hear him out.

"I’ve discovered the security around here isn’t great, haven’t you noticed?" Having been here before without issue, today felt different to Chu Molin, though he wasn’t sure if he was just being overly concerned.

But he didn’t pose it as a question; instead, he was certain when asking Xie Jun.

"Has something happened?" Xie Jun wasn’t too familiar with this since it wasn’t under their jurisdiction, making him truly unaware.

"There are too many people gathering outside; it’s quite suspicious. Hasn’t anyone looked into it?" Chu Molin believed the situation must have caught someone’s attention.

Considering Xie Jun’s abilities, he must have sensed something wrong, likely some unspoken issue at play. So Chu Molin looked to him, eager to hear what he’d say.
