Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Nurous Clansn_1 Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Nurous Clansn_1 Among them, standing at the forefront were a middle-aged man and woman who appeared to be a couple.
While both were dressed in brand na clothing, there was a clear gap between their attire and true luxury.
Even though many years had passed without seeing each other, Xu Fan recognized the middle-aged woman at a glance, his mother’s elder sister, nad Zhang Qingxiang.
The face of Zhang Qingxiang bore not a few resemblances to Mother Xu, but she looked noticeably more aged, especially with many crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, and her skin had beco sowhat sallow.
If one looked closely, there were also a few strands of white hair at her temples.
The other middle-aged man was her husband, thus Mother Xu’s brother-in-law, surnad Mao.
He had a notably large belly and wore a pair of black-frad glasses, embodying the typical middle-aged male image.
...
Standing beside the couple were two youths who, it turned out, were Xu Fan’s cousins on his mother’s side, nad Mao Jiang and Mao Yang.
However, their appearances were nothing remarkable; each of them was a bit short, only around 1.6 ters tall.
The other was noticeably overweight, with a slight paunch clearly visible.
Their one redeeming feature might have been their very fair skin, unmarked by too many signs of wind or sun.
The Zhang family had no shortage of relatives; Xu Fan’s maternal grandfather had fathered seven siblings in total, consisting of three n and two won.
The eldest and second eldest, nad Zhang Minghui and Zhang Mingfei respectively, were a pair of twins.
The third child was a daughter, the elder sister Zhang Qingxiang.
Mother Xu was the second sister, followed by two more daughters, nad Zhang Qinglan and Zhang Qinghui.
The youngest son was nad Zhang Mingpeng, who was in fact only a few years older than Xu Fan.
But even with many children, the closeness of their relationships still varied.
For instance, elder sister Zhang Qingxiang and the youngest, Zhang Mingpeng, had a better relationship with Mother Xu.
Back when Xu Fan hadn’t even set foot in the Zhang family’s door, and his situation had been quite bleak, it was elder sister Zhang Qingxiang who had taken pity on him and privately arranged for soone to give him over a hundred thousand yuan.
Although that sum of money ant nothing to Xu Fan now, back then, it had been like sending charcoal in snowy weather, preventing him from starving to death.
The decision of the Zhang family to sever ties with Zhang Qingning was mainly orchestrated by the brothers Zhang Minghui and Zhang Mingfei, who of course, also had the support of other family mbers.
However, elder sister Zhang Qingxiang and the younger brother Zhang Mingpeng had been strongly opposed to it, but unfortunately, they had no significant influence on the family’s decision due to their isolated stand.
Therefore, although Xu Fan despised the entire Zhang family, he could not muster much hatred for these two individuals.
In fact, when they set out for Lishui City, Mother Xu had mainly inford her elder sister Zhang Qingxiang.
As for the other mbers of the Zhang family, she had not yet told them.
As the group approached, Zhang Qingxiang swiftly noticed them.
Mao Jiang and Mao Yang curiously sized up Xu Fan and the others, hesitant at first to recognize them.
Zhang Qingxiang couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.
For years, the Zhang family had been struggling to get by, paying no heed to outside news, so their understanding of Xu Fan and his family was still rooted in the past; they were unaware of the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in just a few short years.
Soon, the two parties t.
“Elder sister…” Mother Xu called out.
“Second sister, you’ve really had a tough ti these past years,” sighed Zhang Qingxiang, her eyes rimd with tears and her voice choking with emotion.
Mother Xu shook her head, “It’s all in the past, let’s not speak of it.”
Zhang Qingxiang moved closer and affectionately took Mother Xu’s hand, asking, “You ntioned on the phone that Xiao Fan is getting married?
Is that true?”
“Of course, it’s true,” nodded Mother Xu, then turned around and beckoned Xu Fan to co over.
Then she took Xu Fan by the arm and said, “Xiao Fan, introduce everyone quickly.”
“Hello Auntie,” Xu Fan called out, a hand still cradling Tongtong.
Xu Yue also ca over and chirped cheerfully, “Hello Auntie.”
“Girls really do change as they grow, Xiao Yue, you’ve beco more beautiful by the day.
Oh right, Xiao Fan, you’re getting married soon, aren’t you?
Ah, ti really flies.
I rember when you were just a little boy, and now you’re all grown up and getting married,” Zhang Qingxiang remarked with emotion.
She truly adored the Xu siblings from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes were filled with gratification as she watched the brother and sister grown into adults.
“By the way, where is your fiancée?
Did she co with you?” Zhang Qingxiang asked.
Xu Yixue was standing behind Xu Fan, smiling softly.
Xu Fan pulled Xu Yixue forward and introduced her, “Auntie, this is my fiancée, her na is Xu Yixue.”
Xu Yixue hastily greeted everyone.
“Hello Auntie, hello Uncle.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Zhang Qingxiang replied promptly, laughing, “Who would have thought that Xiao Fan’s fiancée would be so beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven.
It seems that our Xiao Fan is really quite fortunate.”
Xu Yixue modestly said, “Auntie flatters .
I am lucky to be able to marry Xu Fan.”
Hearing Xu Yixue’s words, Zhang Qingxiang’s impression of her improved significantly.
Just then, Tongtong, who had woken up without anyone noticing, reminded, “Daddy, daddy, you forgot to introduce Tongtong.”
Zhang Qingxiang looked at Tongtong, her eyes instantly brimming with affection, and asked joyfully, “Xiao Fan, this is your daughter Tongtong, right?”
This was an important matter, sothing Mother Xu had already ntioned over the phone to Zhang Qingxiang the day before.
Now, hearing Tongtong call Xu Fan “Dad,” she naturally connected the dots imdiately.
“Yes,” Xu Fan nodded, then bent down to Tongtong and said, “Tongtong, this is your great-grandma, and this is your great-grandpa.
Co, say hello to them.”
“Hello great-grandma, hello great-grandpa, I’m Tongtong, I’m the best and most well-behaved treasure in the whole world,” Tongtong introduced herself.
“Oh, Tongtong is such a good girl,” Zhang Qingxiang said with a smile, her fondness for the child almost written on her face.
Then she suggested, “Let’s not just stand around here anymore; let’s get in the car first.
ƝονǤօ.сᴑ
We can chat more leisurely when we get ho.”
So everyone got into the cars and drove off to the Zhang family ho.
In one car, Mother Xu and her elder sister Zhang Qingxiang rode together.
During the ride, Mother Xu recounted to Zhang Qingxiang an overview of the recent events.
The experiences of this period had been so astonishing that it took Zhang Qingxiang quite a while to digest everything.
She was overwheld by her feelings.
Her little sister had endured so much injustice, but at last, she had seen justice served, and the crafty villain Xu Tianhu had received his couppance.
It seed heaven indeed had eyes.
Zhang Qingxiang expressed her feelings, “It’s all thanks to you having such a good son.
Xiao Fan has really made sothing of himself.”
“Yes, if it weren’t for Xiao Fan, we wouldn’t have this outco,” Mother Xu nodded, her eyes brimming with pride and contentnt.
Then, curious, Zhang Qingxiang asked, “But what’s the deal with Tongtong?
She looks to be three or four years old already.
How co there’s suddenly such a big daughter?”
“This is all due to so things that happened between the two kids in the past, and then Tongtong ca into existence.
Tongtong is smart and clever, the treasure of our entire family,” Mother Xu explained with a smile.
Zhang Qingxiang nodded, smiling, “That’s certainly true.
