There's really nothing between him and me.

Xu Yan sighed, speaking with some difficulty, mainly because Xie Zhuo was present.

She seemed to have never told Xie Zhuo about herself, no, about the original owner's marriage to Han Xiaoyu.

Therefore, Xie Zhuo should only know that the original owner used to like Han Xiaoyu, but he never knew that the two of them were engaged before.

really……

As she was about to say her next sentence, Xie Zhuo looked up at her.

“Back when we were still in City B, he said… that his engagement to me was just to save face for me and our Xu family. He said he could never like me, and that… even when we were sent to the production brigade, I couldn’t tell anyone about our relationship.”

As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Did he really say that?" Xu Cangsong's face was ashen; he looked extremely angry.

“Yes,” Xu Yan nodded.

"I knew you were a silly girl," Chen Lihua said angrily. "You didn't tell us about something so important, and you stubbornly insisted on coming along. You're really going to drive me crazy!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to slap Xu Yan's arm.

Xu Yan subconsciously closed his eyes, but was stopped by Xie Zhuo who suddenly stood up. Chen Lihua's light slap landed on Xie Zhuo's arm.

Chen Lihua then calmed down a little.

Xu Yan thought to herself, "This is nothing. If you find out what other brainless things your daughter has done, you'll probably tear the roof off right now."

As it turns out, Xu Yan's guess was too conservative.

When Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong learned that the original owner had not only given all the food to Han Xiaoyu, but that he had also colluded with those shameless educated youths in the educated youth group to take the things they had sent to the original owner, and that the original owner had been eating chaff and wild vegetables for half a year and had almost drowned in the river, they each slapped the table in the main room until it broke.

Xie Zhuo: "..."

Although this table is indeed quite old, it shouldn't be unable to withstand this bit of "weather".

As he looked towards Xu's parents, he noticed that Xu Yan was also staring at his parents' hands with a shocked expression.
