Chapter 54: Scratched Face



Chapter 54: Scratched Face

"With whom? Who did I do that with?"

Huang Xinran didn't even look at Lu Tianlei, who was attracted by the movement and looked over, with a confused look on his face: "Oh!~~ I remember, you are not talking about Xiao Huayu, right? He borrowed a lot of money from me before, and I have been chasing him for it all these years... What, did he tell you about this? Or did he also borrow money from you?"

Huang Xinran spoke these words openly and without any intention of avoiding Lu Tianlei.

Jiang Yurou's eyes widened in surprise.

How did she know that Xiao Huayu asked her to borrow money?

But thinking of Xiao Huayu's hungry mouth, it was not surprising at all: "You, you also lent him money?"

"Haven't I told you this many times? What? Did you forget?"

Huang Xinran asked back, "Jiang Yurou, I advise you to be more cautious. As for Xiao Huayu, I was ignorant before and didn't see his true character clearly. Plus, I was about to marry him, so I lent him a lot of money without hesitation. So many years have passed, and I haven't been able to get a penny back. If you had lent it to him... Haha, I'm afraid you would end up worse than me!"

She didn't tell a single lie!

She and Xiao Huayu were childhood sweethearts. Over the years, both families were optimistic about each other's relationship, and she had always loved Xiao Huayu deeply, so she always responded to Xiao Huayu's financial requests.

In addition, her parents and elder brother always loved her and gave her a lot of pocket money. Unfortunately, it all ended up in Xiao Huayu's pocket.

Jiang Yurou naturally knew these things, but she ignored them intentionally or unintentionally.

Now, when she heard Huang Xinran say this, she just found it irritating.

"Are you cursing me?!"

Jiang Yurou was so angry that she revealed her hypocritical face: "I can't believe you are such a person!"

"That's funny. I was clearly reminding you and helping you, so how did that become a curse on you? If you don't understand what I'm saying, go back and have a good rest. Don't run around and spread your madness to others."

"You call me crazy?!"

Jiang Yurou screamed in surprise and instinctively rushed towards Huang Xinran.

But the next moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed by. Jiang Yurou didn't see what it was, she just felt a sudden pain on her face, she screamed and covered her face.

"Ah! What is that? My face, my face..."

Huang Xinran was also frightened by her scream and subconsciously took a few steps back.

My heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of my chest.

That white shadow...

It looks like, that little fox?

No way? No way?

This shouldn't happen...

"Is it you? Yes, it must be you who hurt me!" Jiang Yurou felt a burning pain on her face. She touched it subconsciously and felt blood on her hands. She started crying and shouting immediately.

"It's really not me!"

Huang Xinran wanted to take action, but wasn't it too late?

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Lu Tianlei, who had been hiding in silence, saw that something was wrong and hurried over. While talking, he had intentionally or unintentionally stepped between the two of them and secretly winked at Huang Xinran.

Huang Xinran threw up her hands. What else could she do now that things had come to this?

Jiang Yurou was injured on her face, so she naturally had no intention of completing the task. She hurried to the brigade clinic before it got dark.

After everyone left, Lu Tianlei turned around and looked at Huang Xinran.

"Dad? You..."

"What was that?"

"What?"

"That white shadow."

"I don't know." She shook her head. Seeing Lu Tianlei's disappointed face, she couldn't help but smile. "But I think it looks a lot like the little fox that came here to ask for cherries these days."

"Little fox? You raised it?"

"Not really. I just fed it some cherries because it was cute and well-behaved. But it has always been very well-behaved. I didn't expect it to suddenly attack and hurt someone..."

"What about that big yellow dog? Is that also yours?"

"It has only been here for a short time. One of its legs was caught in a trap and I saved it. Dad, I have seen that the big yellow dog is very smart. You can leave it here. In case someone comes, it can also help keep watch."

In fact, not only Lu Tianlei noticed it, but Huang Xinran also found out that when the little fox suddenly attacked, the big yellow dog was also about to pounce on it. However, the little fox was just one step faster.

This also made Huang Xinran alert.

If the little fox hurts someone, it can probably still keep its life. If the big yellow dog dares to hurt someone, according to the custom in the countryside, it will lose its life.

For this reason, she decided to tie up the big yellow dog, one to make it easier for it to look after the cherries, and the other to protect its life.

"Okay, the rope needs to be stronger. I'll take care of it. You go ahead and do your work."

Huang Xinran was naturally relieved because Lu Tianlei was helping to take care of Cherry.

Just to check the ripeness of the cherries, she pretended to walk around the cherry forest and touched every tree. In secret, she took advantage of the night to help the cherry trees grow faster.

When she returned to the Lu family, she found that not only Lu Yunchen, who had disappeared for a day, had returned, but also her elder brother Huang Hongyi was there.

The trip seemed to be going smoothly for the two of them, as could be seen from the relaxed smiles on their faces.

Seeing Huang Xinran coming back, Huang Hongyi waved at her: "It's late at night, you're still running outside as a girl?"

"Brother, stop scolding me. Didn't Jiang Yurou come to see me just now? She was injured, which delayed her return..."

"What's going on?"

Huang Hongyi knew about Jiang Yurou's existence. As a man, he naturally had no contact with this good friend of his sister. He just knew that such a person existed.

"What else could it be? She just ran to the cherry orchard and wanted to pick cherries from my house. But she accidentally got scratched on the face by something that came from nowhere. Really, if you don't believe me, you can go ask your dad. He was watching the whole thing!" She said the last half of the sentence to Lu Yunchen.

"Dad is here too?"

"What cherries to pick?"

Lu Yunchen and Huang Hongyi asked at the same time. They looked at each other and then at Huang Xinran.

"That's right! Those cherries have been reserved. Dad has already taken the money. We have to guard them well and not let others take advantage of them."

Dad took the money?

Lu Yunchen's brows knitted together. How could Dad...

He stood up and said, "Brother, please sit down for a while. I'll go take a look and be back soon."

"Okay, go quickly."

Seeing Lu Yunchen hurriedly heading for the cherry orchard, Huang Hongyi hurriedly grabbed his sister and said, "What cherry orchard? Sister, explain yourself clearly!"

"Oh, these are the cherries that Lu Yunchen planted for me back then..."
