Chapter 85 Completely Confused

Chen Fanglan and Shen Xuewei left the Wu family home one after the other and returned home.

Shen Xuewei put her homework in her schoolbag. Chen Fanglan rummaged through the luggage bag she had brought back, took out a stack of clothes, and went to Shen Xuewei's room to find her.

"Weiwei, try it on quickly to see if it fits. I bought you two sets, wear one today and the other for the New Year."

"I told you, you'll be the kid I love the most from now on. I only bought one set for your cousin. But don't tell him, or he'll come after me again."

Seeing Chen Fanglan making funny faces and being so energetic, Shen Xuewei laughed.

"Okay, Auntie. Don't worry, I definitely won't tell my cousin."

"That's good. Alright, don't delay, try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, I'll exchange it for you later."

Shen Xuewei took out both outfits and started trying them on in front of Chen Fanglan.

Both sets are slightly large, but not by much, and they fit her well now.

"Both are suitable, thank you Auntie."

"Okay, then wear this outfit. Let's head to your aunt's house now."

Shen Xuewei nodded, slid off the bed, put on her shoes, and retied her somewhat disheveled hair before waiting for Chen Fanglan at the door.

Chen Fanglan returned to her room and took the clothes she had bought for Chu De'an, as well as the gifts she had brought to the Chu family.

Upon reaching the door, he was about to leave with Shen Xuewei.

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't told Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi yet, she handed the things in her hand to Shen Xuewei and told her to take them.

She quickly ran to the back of the vegetable garden and shouted:

"Mom, Weiwei and I are going to my second sister's place. We won't be eating at home tonight, and we'll be back tomorrow."

Grandma Xi was bending over weeding when she heard this, so she stood up and said:

"Your second sister will be home for the New Year in a few days, then you'll see her, right? What are you going there for now?"

"Oh, I just wanted to see her and catch up with my old classmates. Okay, I'm off now. Remember, you don't need to cook for me and Weiwei tonight."

After saying that, she turned and left.

After returning home, she waved to Shen Xuewei, who ran up to her, and the two walked together to the side of the road.

When they got to the roadside, the two waited for more than ten minutes but no car came.

In a fit of anger, Chen Fanglan grabbed Shen Xuewei and left, intending to go directly to Chen Fangli's house.

Shen Xuewei had no objection to this.

Since the road opened to the mountains, she would occasionally walk to Fuxing Village to visit her second aunt and cousin.

but……

She glanced at the sky-high heels Chen Fanglan was wearing and kindly reminded her:

"Auntie, it will probably take more than forty minutes to walk to Auntie's house. Why don't you change your shoes? I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Chen Fanglan snorted lightly, unconcerned.

"You're underestimating me, aren't you? Let me tell you, I can wear high heels all day without any problem, let alone just walking for forty minutes."

Seeing that she was being stubborn, Shen Xuewei stopped trying to persuade her.

After giving her a thumbs-up to express his admiration, he walked with her along the roadside.

Chen Fanglan treated Shen Xuewei like a child, yet she didn't.

I would tell her everything that happened at work along the way.

A man sends her flowers every day, which annoys her; she also has an employee who is incredibly stupid, can't learn no matter how much she's taught, and doesn't listen, which is also annoying; her second uncle makes her angry, which also annoys her...

She talked nonstop the whole way, and Shen Xuewei would occasionally chime in, which only made her talk even more enthusiastically.

Shen Xuewei listened to her complaints the whole way and found it particularly amusing.

In her eyes, her aunt's vibrant appearance was the most beautiful.

Suddenly remembering the person she had seen a few days ago, Chen Fanglan clapped her hands and lowered her voice.

"Weiwei, guess who I saw in the county a few days ago?"

Shen Xuewei took a handful of sunflower seeds out of her pocket, handed half to her, and casually said:

"Who else could you possibly run into in the county? I'm guessing it's your second uncle. What's wrong? Did your second uncle upset you again recently?"

Her aunt and second uncle were close friends, but they would argue every few days when they got together.

Her aunt came to her to complain, and her second uncle came back last month and also complained to her about her aunt, saying that her aunt was unreasonable...

After they finished talking in her ear, they moved on to the next person, talking about each other.

Shen Xuewei had gotten used to it by now.

However, this time, she guessed wrong; the person her aunt was talking about was not her second uncle.

"I saw Xu Zhiyuan in the county a few days ago. He's the one in front of me, do you remember him?"

Shen Xuewei's eyes, which had been feeling sleepy, suddenly perked up.

How could she not remember? That was her aunt's bastard ex-husband.

Upon hearing the name, Shen Xuewei immediately became alert.

Could it be that her aunt divorced Xu Zhiyuan ahead of time? Could it be that after they met in the county town, their old feelings rekindled, and her aunt is going to fall back into the same trap?

They finally got a divorce, how could her aunt be so foolish?

Thinking of her aunt's miserable future, Shen Xuewei frowned and couldn't help but say, "Auntie, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Fanglan threw her head back and laughed, laughing like the villains Shen Xuewei had seen on TV.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xuewei's words caught in her throat and she swallowed them back.

Well, judging from her aunt's gloating expression, it's definitely not a rekindling of old flames.

Thinking of this, Shen Xuewei's heart, which had been in her throat, instantly settled back into her stomach.

Chen Fanglan, oblivious to Shen Xuewei's earlier unease, laughed heartily a few times, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets, before finally saying:

"Weiwei, you have no idea, I saw it with my own eyes. Xu Zhiyuan was beaten up by a bunch of thugs and ended up in the hospital."

"I heard from a friend of his that he seduced a girl who was still in school at the time! I don't know how she was tricked by him, but she was making a huge scene at home, insisting on marrying him..."

"I heard that after the girl's family pretended to agree, they went to Xu Zhiyuan's company and caused him to lose his job. Later, they hired a group of thugs to beat him up, and they even broke his legs."

After saying this with a look of satisfaction, Chen Fanglan cursed again, "Serves him right! I'd like to see if this damned bastard dares to harm young girls again!"

Given that Xu Zhiyuan is thinking about her like this, it's no surprise that the girl must be very beautiful.

After all, that guy, like her, is all about looks.

Shen Xuewei nodded in agreement, "He certainly deserved it."

There are no universities in Luli County. Her aunt said that the girl is still studying, which means that the girl is probably not even twenty years old yet.

Her aunt was about to turn thirty, and Xu Zhiyuan was four years older than her aunt, so he was at least thirty-three or thirty-four years old.

It's shameless for a grown man to provoke and seduce young girls who haven't even graduated from school yet.

Just as she was getting angry, she saw her aunt sigh and say, "I don't know what kind of magic that bastard used to deceive that girl. How come that girl's eyes are so bad?"

Shen Xuewei stopped and glanced at her sideways.

Chen Fanglan was completely bewildered by her gaze.
