After the Eldest Miss Traveled and Returned

Xu Zhaoyue was accidentally chosen by a system and played supporting roles in various worlds. When she returned, she was on her way to study abroad. After studying abroad for a year, she returned t...

Chapter 77 has a conflict.

Xu Zhaoyue shook her head slightly, "Things might change if we leave now. I'll wait until they leave tonight before going back. Besides the porters, the majority of people at the dock are from the Yan family. Have Hu Zi and Tian Dai come over and oversee the cargo transport."

"Okay, Miss, I'll be right back." Yue Lanxing turned and left. At this time, Tian Dai and Xue Huzi were still guarding Aunt Xue, but they had already untied her. She was frightened but could now speak quietly.

"Tiger, your brother's leg was broken. Your uncle has had a hard time. He's getting old and can't earn money anymore. Please give him something, considering we raised you."

"Look at you, you're dressed so nicely. I've never seen this fabric before. Now that you're successful, you should help your brother out, Tiger!" As he spoke, he was about to kneel down on the ground.

Xue Huzi quickly dodged away. He had followed her out earlier because he was afraid her shouting would disturb the young lady, but now he wasn't afraid anymore. "Auntie, please get up. I can't take this. My father only gave birth to me. Where would I get any brothers?"

“When I left, I handed over all the money I had. It was enough to treat one leg. Don’t be fooled by my nice clothes. They were all provided by the host family. I didn’t buy them myself. So don’t covet my meager savings.”

"Leopard is a gambler, could his leg have been broken by the casino?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Xue's expression clearly changed.

Xue Huzi has seen through it all. He doesn't expect any kinship anymore. Everyone knows how this family treats his neighbors. Even if he doesn't care about them now, it's only right that he does.

After listening to what he said from outside, Yue Lanxing spoke up: "Tadashiro, come out. Let Hu Zi handle this himself. Come over after he's done." Then he left with Tadashiro.

It's unclear how Xue Huzi resolved the situation, but he quickly came to apologize to Xu Zhaoyue. After learning the whole story, Xu Zhaoyue didn't blame him, but simply thought that she couldn't let him come to the dock anymore.

Of course, Xu Zhaoyue hadn't forgotten why Yue Lanxing was late. "What happened to my brother? Who did he fight and win against?"

Yue Lanxing felt that the young lady's words seemed to be asking who he could beat. "It's Yue Mingze. When I arrived, both Young Master He and Yue Mingze were injured, but Young Master He was fine."

"The statement says..." Yue Lanxing explained clearly, "that's how it was handled, and I came back. It should have been earlier."

"What? If they dare to make me go to school to apologize again, they're finished!" Xu Zhaoyue disagreed with Yue Lanxing's self-blame. If they hadn't fought, none of this would have happened.

However, the reason they fought seemed to be the appearance of Yue Mingze, but upon further thought, it was still related to Yue Lanxing.

"Young Master He said not to tell his family yet. What does Miss mean?" Yue Lanxing asked curiously.

Xu Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, since you've already agreed, there's no need to say anything more. But, is Yue Mingze trying to divert your attention by attacking Wei? Is he trying to get you to pay attention to him?" Xu Zhaoyue felt that Yue Mingze seemed to be working in the wrong direction.

"Maybe so. He might have found out the young master's identity and wanted to learn about the Xu family and me through him. He didn't expect that his focus on the young master would arouse suspicion from Young Master He."

Xu Zhaoyue felt something was off about his account, and the same went for the written record. She had some suspicions, but she didn't want to say it outright.
