Huo Junyu's expression changed, and he tried his best to suppress his laughter.
I really should have recorded that sentence and let my dad hear it!
Besides Huo Zhixing, whose man is this miserable?
"Little Huo!" Su Aiqian looked at Huo Junyu with a smile, "What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you!"
"Oh, no need." Huo Junyu hurriedly stood up. "Auntie, please take good care of Uncle at home. I'll go to the supermarket to keep an eye on things."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the house, not even hearing Su Aiqian calling after him, "Mianmian doesn't have class this afternoon, I told her to come to the shop and work with you!"...
Her voice drifted further and further away, and Huo Junyu had no idea what she was shouting.
They probably just wanted him to stay for dinner!
Huo Junyu chuckled and quickened his pace.
There weren't many customers in the small supermarket this afternoon, giving him a rare moment of leisure. He was idly scrolling through his phone at the checkout counter when someone suddenly walked in.
"Hey, Little Huo's all by himself here!"
Huo Junyu was stunned for a moment, then looked closely.
This middle-aged woman was slightly overweight and dressed rather extravagantly, wearing bright red and purple clothes. The bag she was carrying was a designer brand, but when she lifted it, it looked like a fake.
The woman's eyes crinkled with laughter as she stared at him the moment she entered the room.
Huo Junyu was defeated after just one glance at her.
In that instant, he suddenly felt that Su Ai's curly hair was much more pleasing to the eye than this exaggerated messy hair!
"Little Huo, what are you standing there for?" The middle-aged woman looked at the young man in front of her like she was looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. "Don't you remember who I am? I'm your Aunt Niu!"
Huo Junyu tried hard to recall any memories of "Aunt Niu" from his mind.
Several families lived in the alley, one of whom seemed to be surnamed Niu, and the lady of the house was called... Niu Meili?
The Niu family owns a barbershop, and their shop is located on this street.
Su Aiqian and Niu Meili often go square dancing together, but Su Aiqian doesn't like Niu Meili, and Niu Meili also dislikes Su Aiqian. In short, they are a pair of fake besties who are always competing with each other, both openly and secretly.
Niu Meili also has a daughter, who is about the same age as Jiang Mianmian.
However, the Niu family didn't let her attend a prestigious university like Jiang Mianmian. Instead, they found her an ordinary vocational school so she could learn a trade and earn money.
Therefore, Niu Meili often joked that Su Aiqian "wasted so much tuition money and raised a money-losing brat".
Su Aiqian didn't back down and retorted, "We raise our daughters so they can broaden their horizons and not be easily fooled by someone with a piece of candy in the future! Unlike some people who really treat their daughters as money-making tools!"
However, the reality is that after graduating from vocational school, the Niu family's daughter returned to inherit the family's small shop and ran it very successfully, and is now preparing to open a third branch.
While she was earning a lot of money for her family, Jiang Mianmian was still working hard on her thesis and spending a lot of her family's money.
Every time the Niu family's daughter returned home adorned with gold and silver, Su Aiqian would keep her front door tightly shut.
However, the most prideful thing for Su Aiqian recently is that Huo Yu came to her house and saved the day!
And what about Niu Meili's daughter? I heard she was recently dumped by her boyfriend!
Although Su Ai didn't show it on the surface, she was secretly overjoyed. She could finally trample on Niu Meili's head...
Thinking of this, Huo Junyu smiled slightly, and roughly understood why Niu Meili had come to find him.
It turns out that the rivalry between older women can be so intense, and the hierarchy of contempt among them can be so realistic.
"Hello, Aunt Niu." Huo Junyu nodded respectfully. "What would you like to buy? Just browsing."
"Oh, good!" Niu Meili said with a smile as she walked inside, but her eyes never left Huo Junyu.
This young man is indeed a handsome and talented man!
How did he end up becoming a live-in son-in-law in the Jiang family?
It is said that Jiang Mianmian was forced to accept this marriage. Everyone on this street knows that she offended the Gu family's daughter, and the Gu family forced a truck driver with a criminal record on her.
but……
With her looks, demeanor, and work ability, her criminal record can be forgiven!
Besides, I heard he doesn't have a criminal record for murder or arson; he was just unlucky and got caught by the police for making fake documents, which is why he went to jail.
This person is clearly a technically skilled individual!
Niu Meili became happier and happier as she thought about how to get Xiao Huo and Jiang Mianmian to divorce... but then, she accidentally bumped her head on the shelf with a "thud"!
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry!" Niu Meili, ignoring the redness on her forehead, hurriedly picked up the things she had knocked over and placed them on the cashier's counter. "Okay... I'll buy all of these. Please calculate the amount for me!"
Huo Junyu glanced at her and then began to pay the bill.
There were quite a few items, and he had to deal with them one by one. Just then, Niu Meili leaned over and asked him with a smile, "Xiao Huo, where are you from?"
"Central City," Huo Junyu replied coldly.
"Oh, Yangcheng is great! My daughter studied beauty and hairdressing there! Look how destined you and my daughter are!"
What?
Huo Junyu frowned, not quite understanding the logic behind it.
Niu Meili placed her bag on the counter and continued with a smile, "Little Huo, you've been coming to the Jiang family for a while now, haven't you?"
Huo Junyu simply nodded without replying, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.
"Hey, don't you think there's something wrong with the Jiang family?"
Huo Junyu paused.
Niu Meili continued, "Anyway, all of us in the neighborhood think there's something wrong with the Jiang family! The problem lies with Mianmian..."
"Auntie Niu." Huo Junyu was a little impatient, his gaze was cold and his voice was deep. He put everything into a bag and pushed it in front of her. "It's 325.5 yuan in total. I'll round it down to 320 yuan."
"Okay, okay!" Niu Meili quickly paid the bill, then said mysteriously, "Xiao Huo, you haven't been here long, so you don't know why... Once you spend more time with them, you'll know what's wrong with Mianmian!"
"Has Aunt Niu said enough?"
"Not yet!" Niu Meili couldn't see through his increasingly gloomy expression. "Let me tell you, with the character of Jiang Youcai and his wife, how could they possibly raise a golden phoenix like Jiang Mianmian? We neighbors can all see it, we just don't say anything!"
Huo Junyu had wanted to push her away, but after hearing those words, his eyes darkened, and he quietly looked at Niu Meili.
Why do you say that?
