Chapter 84: Chapter 084: Informing (Additional release as a reward)_1
“No way!” Jiang Nanfei was easygoing, her smile tender, and her pair of clear, sparkling eyes made her imdiately likable.
“Is that so, young lady?” A middle-aged lady asked loudly.
“No!” Jiang Nanfei shook her head, “Huo Beijiang and I are childhood friends, but Aunt Yuan thinks I’m not worthy of the Huo family, so she went to our village yesterday to break off the engagent.”
Her deanor was open and straightforward, she didn’t dodge or evade, which won her more approval.
The middle-aged lady’s eyes lit up, “I rember now! Yesterday, Xue Shan and Jinlan ca back stinking, was it because they went to the countryside?”
Nan Fei was speechless, “Our countryside is not stinking, only falling into the ditch would be stinking.”
...
Yuan Xueshan, who had fainted, awoke with a groan. She exchanged glances with Huo Jinlan, indicating her to chase people away quickly. They couldn’t continue this discussion. If they did, they would never show their faces again.
“She’s awake! She’s awake.”
“Should we take her to the hospital?”
“Is it because of the heat, sunstroke maybe?”
“Sunstroke? Nonsense, It’s early morning. I guess they’re just being guilty. They might have offended Old Madam Huo!”
A large crowd surrounded Yuan Xueshan and Huo Jinlan. Usually, Yuan Xueshan, being a private boss, and her husband being the respected school principal, even the mayor’s wife had to give her so face in town.
But now, with this commotion, she had completely lost face.
Nanfei scanned the crowd and was surprised to see Granny Huo standing on the outskirts.
“Co here!” Zhou Yongxian beckoned.
“Granny, I have sothing to tell you.” Nanfei walked over in a few strides, assisting Zhou Yongxian toward the big locust tree opposite. As she was in a hurry to catch a bus, she said as she walked: “Granny, did I go too far today? Ah, I didn’t know you weren’t at ho.”
Where Zhou Yongxian stood just now, it was clear she had just arrived from outside.
“Not at all, she deserved it.” With her son leaving ho to avoid the scandal, Zhou Yongxian herself also wanted to leave. Usually, she had breakfast at ho this early.
Today, because she didn’t want to stand Yuan Xueshan and Huo Jinlan’s intimate display, she had gone to the breakfast shop across the street. But halfway through her al, she heard about the commotion at ho, and coming back, she could hardly contain her satisfaction.
“That reminds , here’s Bei Jiang’s phone number at the unit. You can call and tell him the situation okay?”
“Huh?” Nanfei was taken aback. Upon eting Zhou Yongxian’s gentle gaze, she urgently nodded. “Okay! I’ll call him later.”
“That’s good” Zhou Yongxian took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Nanfei, obviously prepared. After giving the note, she heaved a sigh, indicating her bad mood.
“Nan Fei, what a spectacle you’ve witnessed today! Your Aunt Yuan has been acting strangely lately, you should not pay her any mind.” Zhou Yongxian felt a great deal of embarrassnt, simply not understanding what had co over Yuan Xueshan.
She had just returned ho and not wished to be involved.
She was too old for such theatricals.
Nan Fei lowered her head and didn’t say a word. She didn’t like to talk behind others’ backs, after a pause, she changed the subject: “Granny, do you rember how Huo Jinlan fell yesterday?”
“I rember, what’s up?” Zhou Yongxian’s serious face broke into a cunning smile. She lowered her voice, “I know, you tripped her! Hahaha…”
