Chapter 308 - She heard footsteps and talking coming from the outside. (2)
Tong Xuelu did not share the news with anyone at ho or the Wei family.
She decided to not ntion a word of it, just in case so last-minute changes might happen.When Fang Jingyuan arrived ho that night, she told her family that she would be going to Tong Xuelu’s place for dinner two days later, so they would not need to prepare dinner for her that day.Mother Fang reminded her gently, “Rember to not go empty-handed. Be sure to bring sothing with you as a gift!”Fang Jingyuan pouted a little. “Mom, I’m not three years old anymore. I know to observe common etiquette.”Mother Fang, “If you do, then how is it that you never told us about what happened to Xuelu a few days back?”“Xuelu wouldn’t let tell you.”Fang Jingyuan gave her Big Brother a stare as she talked.Fang Wanyuan, “……”Fang Wanyuan, too, regretted a little when he thought about Tong Xuelu’s incident.When Fang Jingyuan ca looking for help, he had worried that others would think that he cared too much about Tong Xuelu if he took action right away. As such, he was going to ask his friends for help in a couple of days.Lo and behold, Tong Xuelu was released from the police station that sa day, and he never had the chance to interfere again.Mother Fang, “Xuelu’s parents are gone. I don’t think there will be anyone looking out for matters of her marriage. Why don’t you find out if she needs to make so introductions.”Fang Wanyuan’s hand gripped tightly around the chopsticks, worried.Fang Jingyuan swallowed the at in her mouth and said casually, “You don’t need to worry about that, Mom. Xuelu has a boyfriend already.”Xuelu has a boyfriend already!Has a Boyfriend!Boyfriend!Friend!-end!Fang Wanyuan felt that he had been struck by lightning. The chopsticks fell from his hand onto the table, making a loud smack sound.Fang Jingyuan gave him a curious look.Mother Fang, too, was stunned. “Xuelu has a boyfriend already? Where is he from? How old is he? What kind of work does he do?”Fang Jingyuan rolled her eyes. “Mom, are you conducting a census survey? I’ve never t her boyfriend. All I know is that he is a researcher and that his grandfather was a commander.”Both Mother and Father Fang were stunned when they heard thatmander!That was a very high status!Even when she was with the other Tong family, she might not be able to match up to soone of that caliber.Sohow, she was able to find such a boyfriend after she had returned to the original Tong’s?Mother Fang was a little worried. “She wasn’t tricked, was she?”Fang Jingyuan rolled her eyes uncontrollably again. “Of course not. She got out scratch-free this ti exactly because of her boyfriend and a friend of his.”Mother Fang finally believed it.As the others started talking about other topics, the words “Tong Xuelu has a boyfriend” were still resounding in Fang Wanyuan’s mind.How was that possible?Wasn’t Tong Xuelu fond of him this entire ti?Wasn’t she just buttering up to Jingyuan to get closer to him?How was it possible that she has a boyfriend?Frowning, Fang Wanyuan had lost all appetite.***Tong Xuelu had yet to treat everyone to dinner when Lai Muqing had returned from the northwest.She had lost a lot of weight and looked disheveled after the ten rough days of traveling.Feeling wronged, she had planned to gripe a lot when she returned ho. Lo and behold, she imdiately saw Xiao Jiu sitting on Gu Yilan’s lap.Her eyes widened from shock, and it looked like all blood had left her face. She stared straight at Xiao Jiu.Nobody at the Gu’s said a word when they saw her.The living room was so quiet that it made one fret.Sensing that sothing was wrong, Lai Muqing’s heart throbbed.She burst into tears and ran over to Xiao Jiu. “Xiao Jiu, you are finally back. Aunty worried so much about you!”Lo and behold, Xiao Jiu, who had always been clingy with her, instantly buried his face into his mother’s chest and wouldn’t even look at her.Tears still on Lai Muqing’s cheek, she wasn’t sure whether she should keep on crying.It was quite awkward.
