"Damn it, Taozi, do you know what you're saying?" Shang Hanwen stared wide-eyed, looking utterly incredulous.
Qi Tao rolled his eyes. "I'm not stupid, I know what I'm talking about. Didn't I already tell you the day before yesterday that we ran into your third uncle with his girlfriend at the state-run restaurant? Look, it's her."
Qi Tao pointed at Su Xiao.
Shang Hanwen frowned and stared intently at Su Xiao, still incredulous. "This is too small! How could my third uncle... bring himself to do it?"
He did hear the news the day before yesterday, and over the past two days, the fact that his third uncle has a girlfriend has slowly spread among relatives and friends.
His grandmother even called his third uncle back to ask about it. When his third uncle came back, he only said that he had a girlfriend and they were dating.
His grandmother asked him to take it home, but he said it wasn't the right time yet.
Listening to their conversation, Su Xiao recognized one of the boys as someone she had seen a few days ago.
The other party hadn't done anything excessive except for making empty threats, so Su Xiao didn't want to get involved with them any further. She nodded slightly to the group, then pulled Tian Niu and turned to leave.
"Hey, he's gone. What are we going to do?" Qin Xuan regretted his quick tongue when he heard Qi Tao's words. He was thinking about how to make amends when he saw that Qi Tao had left.
Qi Tao nudged Shang Hanwen with his shoulder, "You're leaving without saying goodbye? That's your third aunt."
Shang Hanwen pushed him away and muttered, "What third aunt? She hasn't even entered the house yet."
Asking him to call a girl who was clearly younger than him "Third Aunt" made him feel a throbbing pain in his forehead and a toothache so intense that he could hardly speak.
They said one thing but did another: "Let's go, follow her and see what she's doing here."
The group followed Su Xiao and Tian Niu at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Su Xiao and Tian Niu were already chatting away, completely oblivious to the tail following them.
"Is it the Yang family?" Qin Xuan looked at the small villa not far away and said, "General Yang, he just came back not long ago, and he also brought back a goddaughter, the girl next to Third Aunt, right?"
Shang Hanwen's mind raced. He remembered that his third uncle seemed to know General Yang. "I'll go back for a bit."
Watching Shang Hanwen run away, Qin Xuan thought of something and turned to run as well, saying, "I'll go back too."
Qi Tao, hands on his hips, looked at the two and complained, "What are these two doing? Are we still going or not?"
"Go on, let's go find Fang Hongjun first," the others urged.
Qi Tao thought for a moment and realized, "That's right, I should go find Fang Hongjun and tell him what's going on."
"That's all for today, I'm not going anymore, I have things to do, everyone can go home."
With that, he dashed off in a flash.
The remaining people looked at each other, wondering, "Should we still go?"
"Where are you going? Let's disperse."
With their core members gone, they can't keep up with high-level games with just a few of them; the game will just fall apart.
Su Xiao followed Tian Niu into the Yang family's house, a small villa with a garden, which was quite spacious.
"Sweetie, this place is nice."
"Yes, it's just that the house is too quiet. Grandpa Yang often comes home very late, and sometimes he doesn't come home at all. Miss, can you come and keep me company? I don't feel at ease living alone." Sweetie hugged Su Xiao's arm and looked at her expectantly.
Su Xiao shook her head regretfully, "No, that won't work."
"Why?" Sweetie looked at her stubbornly.
Su Xiao patted her head and sighed, "It's really inconvenient for your sister to come over. This is a large compound, not just anyone can live here. Sweetie, let's not cause Grandpa Yang any trouble."
Sweetie listened, looking disappointed.
