The boy named Gou Dan, who was called out by Han Kuan, was about seven or eight years old. He was followed by a string of little kids. As he ran towards the village, he shouted, "Sister Alan, a man who claims to be your man is here..."
The sound startled the dogs that were already asleep, and a series of barks rang out.
Nangong Jue: ...
Is communication in this village all done by shouting? Is this some kind of announcement to the world? He straightened his back, not wanting to embarrass his wife.
"Uncle Baozhu, Aunt Juan..." A child's voice rang out from outside, and then several children rushed into the yard.
The Han family members were still eating.
"Yuanbao, Gou Dan, what's wrong?" Liu Sujuan hurriedly got up.
“There’s a very handsome man outside, who says he’s Sister Alan’s man…” Gou Dan’s voice was loud as he sniffled.
“Men…” The younger ones, who were still struggling to speak properly, also emphasized it.
Le Yao suddenly looked up. Her man? Wasn't that Nangong Jue? Why was he here?
Upon hearing this, Liu Sujuan turned and glanced at Le Yao, saying, "I'll go take a look." She then went inside, grabbed a handful of candy, and handed it to the children, saying, "Thank you."
The children scattered in a flash.
Yuan Bin and Tao Qing hurriedly followed.
At the village entrance, Liu Sujuan frowned slightly when she saw Nangong Jue.
"Mother-in-law," Nangong Jue greeted Liu Sujuan respectfully.
Liu Sujuan's lips twitched slightly, unsure whether she should agree.
"Juan'er, is this really Alan's man?" someone asked.
"How come I haven't heard anything about Alan getting married?"
"Yeah, they didn't even invite you to the wedding banquet?"
...
Nangong Jue's expression darkened slightly. He and Han Binglan had only registered their marriage, but they hadn't actually held a ceremony. He owed her a wedding.
Liu Sujuan smiled at everyone but didn't answer their questions: "We're going back now. Let's all come together for a drink tomorrow."
No one expected an answer, so they all nodded with laughter and made way for them.
Nangong Jue hurriedly followed and moved away from the crowd.
"Mr. Nangong, what brings you here?" Once away from the crowd, Liu Sujuan couldn't help but ask, her attitude distant, because Alan had said that the two of them were getting a divorce, and after the divorce, they would be strangers.
No matter how awesome this person is, it has nothing to do with them.
"I came to see her, and also to visit you all and get acquainted with your community."
Liu Sujuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Nangong Jue: "Mr. Nangong, although Alan didn't say much to us, we're not stupid. The car accident wasn't that simple, was it?"
Nangong Jue remained silent.
"And the death of He Feng...you..."
“Mother-in-law,” Nangong Jue interrupted her seriously, “Don’t worry, I will handle it. I won’t let anything happen to her. I have never been with another woman.”
Liu Sujuan was originally a simple rural woman who had never seen much of the world, especially when facing someone like Nangong Jue. She was actually quite intimidated, but for her daughter's sake, she had forced herself to talk to him. Now, hearing his assurances, she was very worried but didn't know what to say. She could only silently take him home.
When Han Baozhu and Han Xiangdong looked at Nangong Jue, their expressions were not very good.
"Why are you here?" Le Yao stood up, looking puzzled. "This isn't a place for a domineering CEO like you."
