Chapter 173 When do you plan to go home?

Shen Xuewei remained calm, showing little fear about her identity being exposed.

She worried that her family would find out she was secretly writing novels.

However, when she actually discovered it, she was very fortunate that it was her aunt who discovered her secret, and not someone else.

Among all the members of the Chen family, Chen Fanglan was the most accepting of writing novels.

She is open-minded, loves reading novels, and is a loyal fan of her own books.

If her maternal grandparents find out, she won't be met with the same carefree attitude as her aunt.

If her second aunt finds out, the situation will probably be better than if her maternal grandparents find out. They might keep it a secret, but they will definitely advise her to stop writing, study hard, and aim to get into a good university.

If her second uncle found out... Shen Xuewei's face darkened. She could almost imagine Chen Fangyang saying in an exaggerated tone, "Oh my, our family has actually produced a great writer."

Another point is that she might be used by her second uncle to curry favor with her maternal grandparents, and he might present her to them.

After all, his maternal grandparents minded that he was a son-in-law who married into the family, and they were not as close to him as before.

He had been trying to mend the relationship and had always acted like a dutiful son in front of them.

As for her uncle… Shen Xuewei didn’t even need to think about it. If her uncle found out, he would definitely make her hand over the royalties and then make her continue writing so that he could use the royalties.

Now that my aunt has found out, it's already the best possible outcome.

When Chen Fanglan returned home from get off work in the evening, Shen Xuewei had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her.

During the meal, Shen Xuewei would glance at her from time to time, then lower her head again, and the table was unusually quiet.

Chen Fanglan was the first to be unable to stand the eerie atmosphere.

"Weiwei, please stop staring at me like that. Your aunt will definitely keep her promise. If I can't..."

She paused, then pointed to the sky and swore, "If I can't do it, may I never earn a single penny in my life and marry an ugly man."

Shen Xuewei clicked her tongue in astonishment; this was an incredibly serious oath for her aunt.

She couldn't earn money, and she was married to an ugly man; both were things she couldn't tolerate.

At this moment, Shen Xuewei completely believed her.

but……

"Auntie, that's not what I meant. What I was thinking was... I wanted you to do me a favor."

Chen Fanglan rolled her eyes at her. "What do you want me to help with? If you need my help, just say so. Don't act like this. It's kind of scary to watch."

She thought her niece was feeling down because her creative passion had been dampened after she discovered her pseudonym.

Shen Xuewei chuckled and then said, "Auntie, could you buy me a cell phone?"

Seeing Chen Fanglan looking at her, she quickly added, "It's just that you're buying it for me; I'll pay for it myself."

Chen Fanglan asked her cautiously, "What do you need a cell phone for?"

Shen Xuewei said, "I'll use it to make phone calls so I can contact you regularly. Also, if the editors contact me, I can reply promptly."

Chen Fanglan nodded, "The reason is valid."

"Okay, I'll take you shopping when I have a day off in a few days."

"But keep that money. Your aunt has enough to buy a new phone. You've helped me a lot, so consider this phone a thank you gift."

After learning that Hua Yunbi was Shen Xuewei, she didn't ask Shen Xuewei how much money she had made from writing books over the years, just as Shen Xuewei herself wouldn't tell others how much money she had made.

Shen Xuewei smiled at her, her eyes crinkling, "Thank you, Auntie."

If she had known, she wouldn't have asked her second uncle for the phone; she would have talked to her aunt first.

"Hmm." Chen Fanglan tapped her bowl with her chopsticks. "Alright, eat quickly. You'll be the same as before, I won't say anything. But..."

She said earnestly, "Internet cafes are really too chaotic. You can go, but if you see people fighting or causing trouble inside, remember to stay away and don't join in the fun, okay?"

"Also, don't follow bad influences from delinquent youths in society. You are different from them. Hanging out with them will only harm you."

Her niece is more mature than other children her age and is unlikely to go astray.

However, some things still need to be explained, in case such a day really comes.

"Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I remember everything and won't get involved with them."

Shen Xuewei took a bite of her food and made a promise to her.

Chen Fanglan didn't say anything more. After putting a piece of food on Shen Xuewei's plate, she ate her meal quietly.

After being exposed by Chen Fanglan, Shen Xuewei no longer needed to hide her identity as before.

She continued her old habit of going to the internet cafe every day.

Chen Fanglan would occasionally go to an internet cafe once or twice, but she couldn't stand the smell inside, so she didn't go much after that.

The internet cafe owner was waiting for Shen Xuewei to come home and get a beating.

However, a day later, it was discovered that Shen Xuewei was still coming to the internet cafe as usual. Even Chen Fanglan came to take a look. When she saw that Shen Xuewei was inside, she did not pull her out and waited for her to go home in a very good mood.

Looking at this scene, the internet cafe owner scratched his head in confusion.

"No way, what kind of parents are these? Their child is so young and they're already playing computer games at an internet cafe. Don't they even care?"

He was puzzled for a moment, but after Shen Xuewei paid her internet bill at his place the next time, she walked to the computer with practiced ease.

Holding the money he had just received, he had already put the whole matter out of his mind.

What does it have to do with him? He just needs to focus on making money.

A few days later, on the day Chen Fanglan was on holiday, she indeed took Shen Xuewei to a mobile phone store and bought her a Nokia phone worth nearly a thousand yuan.

Shen Xuewei held her phone, feeling a little excited.

She had been wanting a cell phone for years, and finally managed to buy one; it was no easy feat.

Chen Fanglan helped her buy a cell phone and a SIM card. After lunch, she told her to make her own arrangements, as she was going out to go shopping with her friends.

After Shen Xuewei's book was exposed, Chen Fanglan felt much more at ease with her.

Now that she goes out on her own, Chen Fanglan doesn't worry about this or that like she used to.

They would ask her where she was going, and once they knew, they wouldn't ask any more questions.

After being exposed in front of Chen Fanglan, Shen Xuewei was able to squeeze out more time to finish her manuscript.

By August 20th, Shen Xuewei had finally finished writing her CEO romance novel.

She saved the file in her email and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that the novel is finished, it's time to catch up on the little bit of summer homework she has left.

That evening, she and Chen Fanglan leaned against the bed, one playing a game on her phone and the other reading a novel.

After finishing a novel, Chen Fanglan turned to look at Shen Xuewei beside her and asked:

"It's already the 20th, when are you planning to go home?"

Shen Xuewei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back on the 28th. Let me stay here a few more days. Going back on the 28th is still feasible."

When the time comes, you can take a minibus that goes directly to the entrance of Fuxing Village and visit Aunt Chu's family first.
