Actually, it wasn't that Fan Xiaofan was a very good at pretending.
However, the Fan family had become accustomed to ignoring her. When she returned home, she was not met with their concern, but rather with a barrage of questions. No one truly cared about her, so they naturally failed to notice the small, easily noticeable details about her.
As for Zhan Yuan'an, there is a difference between men and women. He can be a good older brother who protects his sister, and a like-minded friend of Fan Xiaofan. However, if he touches Fan Xiaofan inappropriately or examines her body, that is not concern, but rather a sign that he has a grudge against her.
Fan Xiaofan shook his head and said, "It's great there, everyone treats me well. I'm not happy in Beidu. Look, I've only been here for a day and I've already caused such a big mess..."
As she said this, she cursed herself inwardly for how pretentious her words were...
So what? She did it on purpose. Fan Yunli likes Zhan Yuan'an, but Zhan Yuan'an is such a good person, he deserves better, how can he be defiled by Fan Yunli?
She also realized that Zhan Yuan'an was a pure-hearted person. He disliked Fan Yunli now, but he was still young and impulsive. If Fan Yunli gave in, he might not be able to withstand it in the long run.
Therefore, it is essential to heighten his vigilance and aversion towards Fan Yunli...
That's right, this is a blatant attempt to sow discord.
Fan Xiaofan didn't know that her guess was correct. In her previous life, the Fan family plotted against Zhan Yuan'an. After Zhan Yuan'an was forced to marry Fan Yunli, the young man didn't like being schemed against, but Fan Yunli eventually became his wife, and he was willing to take on the responsibilities of a husband. But what was the result?
When the Zhan family fell into trouble, Fan Yunli, who had once professed deep affection and love, ultimately severed ties with the Fan family. He could let that go; he believed it was human nature that one could not share wealth and hardship, and he could not blame Fan Yunli. When his family was criticized and persecuted, and his mother had a persistent high fever, he begged her to find a way to get him a fever reducer, just one pill…
But Fan Yunli not only refused, she also reported them. As punishment for their unruly behavior, the family was tortured again. The mother was driven mad by the fever, and the father's health was barely holding on...
At this time, Zhan Yuan'an had no idea what would happen in the future. He was still a spirited young man, and his biggest headache was how to take care of the frail little sister next door...
After listening to Fan Xiaofan's words, he nodded and said, "Then I'll send you any interesting books I find in the future."
Fan Xiaofan smiled faintly and nodded.
She knew she was in great health and had a good appetite, so she stopped pretending and continued to lie in bed. She still looked weak and frail, and was discharged from the hospital with what Dr. Jin prescribed that seemed to be a serious illness, but was actually just some vitamin and calcium tablets.
Father remained silent the entire way.
Upon returning to the Fan family home, before even entering the house, they heard Zhou Xuehua's exaggerated crying and fussing.
Fan Xiaofan touched her nose and took a step back: "Dad, my medicine is ready. Otherwise, I'd better not go in. It's all my fault. If I hadn't come back, Mom wouldn't be like this..."
Fan's father rubbed her head guiltily, and Fan Xiaofan stiffened slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“It’s not your fault. It’s your mother who’s being unreasonable. Your health isn’t good to begin with, and you just came out of the hospital. I’m not comfortable with you traveling like this. You need to rest for a few days first.”
He genuinely felt guilty.
Fan Xiaofan really wanted to leave. She didn't want to experience her father's loving heart; she just wanted to come to the Fan family to go through the motions, then leave happily after stirring up a mess...
