The aunties were a little scared of A Yu at first, after all, she was a ghost, but later they kept praising A Yu for her beauty, lamenting that it was a pity that she was so young. Then they kept praising Fan Zhiyi for his good looks, asked him if he had a partner, and said they wanted to arrange a marriage for him.
Fan Zhiyi smiled awkwardly and said that he was already engaged to avoid trouble.
The ladies finally let him go and started chatting about other people. Fan Zhiyi sat down and helped them sort the dishes, listening to a lot of gossip.
"The girl next door to my house is pregnant, but her husband often doesn't come home. He also brings another woman home and says he can't let go of his childhood sweetheart and wants to divorce her and remarry." The old lady deliberately spoke in a sarcastic tone to express her dissatisfaction.
Fan Zhiyi frowned when he heard this. Why did this look so much like the novel ads that appeared when he was stuck in a game and watched ads? It was so irritating.
Another woman shook her head and sighed, "Most men nowadays are no good."
"Isn't it? It's not just now. There were so many people who abandoned their wives and children in the past. There were even some who killed their wives to prove their Dao in order to ascend to the sky. I heard..."
"But that's not necessarily the case. There are still good people worth entrusting, but we just haven't met them yet." A Yu interrupted.
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Little girl, you are too young and have not experienced much, so you think so. This man is not as important as you. Take good care of yourself, practice when you should, and earn spirit stones when you should. Don't hang around him all day long."
At this point, all the ladies looked at Fan Zhiyi. Fan Zhiyi, who was sorting vegetables while listening to their conversation, suddenly felt a chill on his back and slowly raised his head to meet everyone's scrutiny.
Fan Zhiyi: “…”
"Young man, you said you were engaged, right? Then you and this girl..."
Fan Zhiyi and A Yu immediately raised their arms and made a capital X.
"We are friends who share life and death, and we have no intention of insulting pure friendship!" said Fan Zhiyi.
"It's impossible, Auntie, stop guessing." A Yu said.
The aunties nodded, and then began to teach Fan Zhiyi: "Young man, you are a good boy. Listen to the aunties and don't learn those bad things. Once you choose someone, you must be responsible for them to the end."
"OK, I mean, no problem." Fan Zhiyi continued to prepare the dishes.
Preparing food was not a difficult task for him. After all, he used to live alone in a rental house and had to take care of all his meals by himself. He didn’t have enough money to order takeout.
"Oh, this guy cooks really well."
Fan Zhiyi asked, "It's already past dinner time, why are you still preparing the dishes?"
"There's been a lot going on lately, and the young master and the others have been working hard, so I thought of making some midnight snacks for them."
That's great, there's also a midnight snack. It seems Zhuang Yujing has a pretty good reputation among the aunties.
Fan Zhiyi asked tentatively, "Auntie, what do you think of our eldest young master?"
"Alright, the young master is very kind and never criticizes us. He pays our monthly salary on time and even gives us small gifts during festivals. Under the young master's management, Jiuwanli is doing quite well, tens of thousands of times better than Tianyunmen. In my next life, I want to be a Jiuwanli person too!"
Well, it seems that mutual harm between the two sides is engraved in the bones of every compatriot of Jiuwanli and Tianyunmen.
However, for ordinary people like him, what matters more is their own interests, and it is enough to have a happy and abundant life.
Fan Zhiyi smiled. At this moment, he didn't realize what kind of topic would be raised later.
"Speaking of our young master, hasn't he always been at odds with Bing Nandong? But I often see our young master happy when he's with Bing Nandong..."
Happy? Isn't he just like a pufferfish, constantly angry? Fan Zhiyi thought about it again and found no evidence that Zhuang Yujing was happy.
"So," the woman lowered her voice. "Our young master hasn't gotten engaged yet, and his attitude towards Bing Nandong is unclear. As the saying goes, love turns to hate. Could it be that because of Jiu Wanli's relationship with the Tianyun Sect, the young master has been unable to face up to his feelings for Bing Nandong, and is pretending to dislike him on the surface, but is actually overjoyed in his heart? I've seen Bing Nandong from afar; he's quite handsome."
"Ah, no way?" The first person to reply was A Yu, who covered half of her face. She glanced at Fan Zhiyi, and the light in her eyes could almost blind Fan Zhiyi.
Another lady asked, "But isn't Bing Nandong already engaged? And he brought her to Tianyun Sect early on to keep her by his side to cultivate their relationship."
"I know this." A certain lady was unwilling to be left behind and looked mysterious. Fan Zhiyi instantly understood that there was something big coming, so he immediately focused and listened attentively.
"Didn't the eldest young master come back two nights ago specifically to deal with the Xue residence? He asked He An to bring someone back and lock him up in the worst, most remote little room. I heard that this person is someone Bing Nandong holds dear to his heart. I guess it's... the one he's engaged to."
"Ah?" This exclamation was also made by Ayu. She even squatted forward a little to avoid missing any details.
"Our young master just wanted to use this opportunity to see Bing Nandong more often. It's so tragic. It's all Bing Nandong's fault." The old lady sighed, "I heard from the doctor that the person in the room was seriously injured and is still unconscious."
Fan Zhiyi: “…”
"Actually, I'm just asking, is there a possibility that our young master is actually attracted to Bing Nandong's fiancé? The young master already hates Bing Nandong, so he wants to steal his sweetheart to make Bing Nandong miserable."
"Oh, impossible, impossible, the young master is not that kind of person."
"Tsk, we're just guessing. I heard that the young master sent He An to invite someone here last time, and kept him there for a while with good food and drink, but he was later rescued by Bing Nandong. This is the second time. Look, where has this happened before? The young master is so powerful... That night, the screams were so loud."
The ladies thought about it carefully and it seemed quite interesting. They all nodded in agreement, "That's right!"
What is that? Has anyone asked him about the supporting characters in this story? How come he doesn’t know that the three of them have such bloody love-hate relationship and such a complicated relationship!
Fan Zhiyi tactfully refuted the rumor, "But wasn't the young master at the Xue residence that night handling some matters? And I heard that the unconscious person fell unconscious as soon as he arrived at Jiuwanli. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the doctor."
"unimportant."
It's enough as long as the feelings sound good, right?
The subsequent groundless gossip revolved around Zhuang Yujing, Bing Nandong and his legendary fiancé. The more Fan Zhiyi listened, the more his head hurt. He had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. He finally understood how the rumors spread.
