Chapter 290: Favoritism as always

Lu Xiaoyun came to me specifically to confirm this. She must have been very panicked after losing her child.

Physical attraction cannot last forever, and a child is still needed to tie Shen Yixiao down. This was what Lu Xiaoyun admitted in her previous life.

Shen Yixiao didn't seem to want Lu Xiaoyun to continue talking, so he grabbed her arm and pulled her to leave.

"You really have no moral bottom line!" My mother said unhappily after Shen Yixiao and Lu Xiaoyun left.

"Mom, let's go back first." I was no longer in the mood to relax, so I said to my mother.

My mother pushed me away, and after returning home, she called my father and told him about this incident, complaining about it for a long time in indignation.

I was worried and wondered whether I should move and live in the same community as Lu Xiaoyun. It would be troublesome if she did something against me again.

I have to talk to Xu Zhengnan about this. I want to discuss it with him when he comes back in the evening.

Just when I was lost in thought, I received a message from Shen Yixiao: I apologize to you on her behalf for what happened today, but it was not her fault. She was in a bad mood and lost control of her emotions.

I didn't reply. His words were full of favoritism towards Lu Xiaoyun.

Since he thinks Lu Xiaoyun did it unintentionally, then so be it. I just want them to stop harassing me.

Shen Yixiao: Did you change your number? I know you are avoiding me. Last time I threatened you, saying that I would not let you and Xu Zhengnan go, I was just angry at the time. Don't take it seriously.

Shen Yixiao: You let Meng Zicheng betray me, I can’t stand it anymore, plus Xu Zhengnan has been secretly cooperating with Huang Zhongxiong, I am really angry.

Me: It seems that the person who made Meng Zicheng betray you was not me, but Lu Xiaoyun.

After a long while, he replied to me: Meng Zicheng likes her, I didn’t know it before, and now he is in prison, there is no need for me to care about many things anymore.

I looked at this message and couldn't help but sneer. It seems that my previous understanding of Shen Yixiao was still inaccurate.

I think that for him, brothers are really more important than anything else. Between brothers and women, he should choose brothers.

In the end, he chose to let his brother take the blame and atone for his sins, and then continue to be with Lu Xiaoyun.

Liang Feng might have seen Meng Zicheng do that and remembered that he once had a crush on me, so he simply used the same method to alleviate the guilt in his heart.

Shen Yixiao sacrificed both of them in exchange for his own innocent life. How smart.

I didn't reply to him again.

Xu Zhengnan came back in the evening. He looked a little tired, and I smelled cigarettes on him.

He hardly ever smokes. I've been with him for so long, but I've never smelled any smoke on him.

I originally wanted to talk to him about Lu Xiaoyun, but when I saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, I couldn't say the words when they came to my lips.

"There is something I want to tell you." He looked at me with a complicated look.

"What's the matter?" My intuition told me that something was wrong.

"I need to go to Country M again." Xu Zhengnan replied.

When I heard this, I immediately became a little restless and refused without thinking, "No, I don't agree!"

Xu Zhengnan had anticipated my answer. He explained, "I have to meet Huang Zhongxiong. Once the matter is resolved, the deal between him and me will be over. Isn't this exactly what you want to see?"

I do hope that he can end his cooperation with Huang Zhongxiong as soon as possible, but I don’t want him to go to Country M.

That was Huang Zhongxiong's territory, and Shen Yixiao knew that he and Huang Zhongxiong were secretly working together. If he went over there, it would definitely be very dangerous.

I took Xu Zhengnan's arm and said, "I don't want you to go there. Xu Zhengnan, Lu Xiaoyun and the others have moved to the same neighborhood. I just met her and Shen Yixiao today. If you leave, aren't you worried that something might happen to me?"

"What?" Xu Zhengnan was a little surprised, "Did she hurt you?"

He also knew that Lu Xiaoyun hated me, so he moved to the same community as me, definitely to get revenge on me.

I shook my head. "Not today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?"

My words made Xu Zhengnan hesitate. Of course, he was more worried about my safety.

He then proposed to change his residence.

I originally wanted to change my residence, but after that, can he go to Country M with peace of mind? I didn't want to, so I could only refuse.

"It's useless." I replied, "Since she can find out where I live now, then if I change my residence, she can still find it again. Do I have to keep moving to avoid her?"

"I will arrange someone to protect you. If you want to go out, bring a bodyguard with you." Xu Zhengnan said again.

I was a little anxious. "Anyway, you just want to go to Country M, right? I've already taken a step back and no longer objected to you continuing the project and completing the deal. How can you push your luck? You don't even know how worried I am!"

The more I talked, the angrier I became. I couldn't help but cry.

Seeing me crying, Xu Zhengnan panicked. He quickly wiped my tears and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't think it through enough. I'll postpone my trip to Country M and see if there are other ways."

Although I'm not 100% not going, at least I'm not going for now, and I feel relieved.

While I was wiping my tears, Aunt Yang opened the door and walked in with some ingredients in her hands. She must have come to cook for me.

Even with a nanny cooking, Aunt Yang is still worried that the food she cooks is not nutritious enough.

Seeing me wiping my tears, Aunt Yang threw the food on the ground, walked over angrily, and asked Xu Zhengnan, "Xu Zhengnan, what did you do? Did you bully Xiaoyue?!"

After saying that, she pulled Xu Zhengnan up, and then asked me anxiously, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you? Did Zhengnan make you unhappy? Tell me, I will scold him to death and punish him according to the family rules!"

"Auntie Yang, it's okay. I'm just too sensitive. I just saw a very touching video and couldn't help crying. Xu Zhengnan was comforting me." I excused Xu Zhengnan.

Aunt Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If he bullies you, tell me and I won't let him go."

Xu Zhengnan looked at Aunt Yang's favoritism towards me, smiled, and then went to pick up the ingredients that Aunt Yang had thrown on the ground.

"Zhengnan, your aunt is coming over for dinner today." Suddenly, Aunt Yang's words made the atmosphere awkward.

Xu Zhengnan’s aunt?

I met his uncle last time, but not his aunt.

Why do you suddenly want to come here to eat...

Aunt Yang said to me a little embarrassedly, "Xiaoyue, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in advance. Zhengnan's aunt made the decision at the last minute, and I couldn't refuse."
