Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 942: Why Insist on Going Down a Dark Path?

When the incident involving Xue Hongjuan happened, the school imdiately notified her family, as she had bullied others at school more than once.

By the ti the event ended, Xue Family had arrived. Upon learning about what Xue Hongjuan had done, Mrs. Xue was quite embarrassed in front of the school leadership.

She felt thoroughly humiliated.

Out of respect for Mr. Xue, they gave her one more chance, warning, "If such an incident occurs again, she must leave the school."

Mrs. Xue quickly made promises and took her away.

Ultimately, secrets can’t be kept forever; when the mother and daughter returned ho, they were t by Mr. Xue’s fury: "Kneel down."

Xue Hongjuan was surprised to learn that Old Xue knew about the incident. His shout startled her; though she wanted to rebut, she didn’t dare.

Mr. Xue’s face was full of sternness: "What did I previously tell you? Do you wish our enemies never find any fault with the Xue Family?"

Xue Hongjuan naturally understood the challenges Xue Family was currently facing; no one could foresee such a day; for the sake of self-preservation, the Xue Family’s hands couldn’t be entirely clean, and surely many kept an eye on them.

Mrs. Xue feared the use of family punishnt and quickly pleaded: "Dad, Hongjuan is just a young lady at heart. She reflected on her actions on the way back. She promises never to embarrass our Xue Family again.

Dad, last sester Hongjuan missed a lot of classes because of an injury. They agreed to let her take makeup exams after the holiday out of respect for you. Her studies really should not be delayed anymore."

Mr. Xue valued reputation greatly. If Xue Hongjuan failed her makeup exams, it would make them the laughing stock among those in the compound. Mrs. Xue shrewdly grasped this to plead for her daughter.

After quite a while, Mr. Xue spoke up: "Since you need to take makeup exams, we’ll postpone the family punishnt for now. However, wrong is wrong; since we can’t punish now, we’ll dock half a year’s allowance. Anyone who helps her secretly will face punishnt on her behalf."

Xue Hongjuan was surprised that Old Xue was serious this ti, but she knew she couldn’t refute him now; angering her grandfather might bring trouble to the entire family branch.

Mr. Xue’s severe punishnt for his irresponsible granddaughter was due to soone secretly targeting them lately; he had sent people to investigate but found no clues.

Xue Hongjuan returned to her room, greeted by another round of reprimands from her parents: "Hongjuan, you’re not young anymore. You should act responsibly. Can’t you focus on serious matters?"

"Was this incident again because of that boy from the Mu Family?"

Xue Hongjuan didn’t defend herself, and Mrs. Xue’s frustration was unstoppable: "You know well that he has no interest in you, so why insist on pursuing a dead-end?"

Xue Hongjuan was nearly at her wits’ end, but her parents wouldn’t stop nagging: "Mom and Dad, I like Mu Haoming. I won’t like anyone but Mu Haoming. If you don’t want to act foolishly, then find a way to help ."

Father Xue, hearing this, could practically pinch a mosquito between his furrowed brows: "You better give up on that idea. Not only haven’t you won over Mu Haoming, even if you were mutually in love, Mu’s father and son would probably never let you in their doors."

Xue Hongjuan abruptly looked up: "Why?"

Father Xue sighed: "Mu Family and Xue Family are only maintaining surface relations. I can’t go into details with you. I initially thought that after facing setbacks, you’d turn back one day, but now you just seem more and more determined. I might as well be candid, and let you face reality sooner."
