Before Lu Zhixi could speak, Shi Lingheng raised an eyebrow and his clear voice rang out: "Beautiful..."
Why?
Fan Xiaofan then turned around and saw Shi Lingheng behind her.
Lu Zhixi twitched her lips.
Fu Weidong puffed out his cheeks and ran up to Fan Xiaofan like a small cannonball, glaring warily at Shi Lingheng with a serious expression: "Sugar-coated bullet."
Fan Xiaofan chuckled and waved at Shi Lingheng: "Shi Zhiqing, are you bringing them back?"
Shi Lingheng nodded.
Since their conversation, the two have been getting along peacefully, and Fan Xiaofan is no longer avoiding him like before.
Regardless of what Shi Lingheng is thinking now, at least he doesn't make Fan Xiaofan feel oppressed like before.
She herself was clueless about relationships, so Shi Lingheng was like a gentle spring breeze. Understanding Fan Xiaofan's thoughts and becoming someone she could trust was an easy thing for him.
Lu Zhixi gritted her teeth inwardly and used sweet words.
Shi Lingheng smiled, a smile that was neither exaggerated nor distant, the kind that made people feel comfortable: "I came here today because there's something I want to talk about..."
The implication was that you don't need to be so wary of me; I've come here on important business...
Hmph, Lu Zhixi still wore a polite smile, a habit formed by her upbringing; her family had never taught her to treat people coldly.
But inwardly I scoffed, thinking, "He's just a big bad wolf. Don't think I can't see through him."
Smiling, she pulled Fan Xiaofan to her side, creating some distance between them: "Oh, what brings you here, Shi Zhiqing?"
Shi Lingheng watched Fan Xiaofan smirking behind Lu Zhixi's back, looking helpless, and shook his head, saying, "Regarding your mother's matter, the investigators from Beidu should be arriving in Zhoujia Village soon. What are your plans?"
When Fan Xiaofan heard about this, she widened her eyes with a gossipy look on her face and asked, "Can I go over there?"
It's quite boring to have nothing to do right now.
And she was indeed quite curious about the truth of what happened back then.
Shi Lingheng nodded: "Okay, you're one of the parties involved. Even if you don't go, they'll probably still talk to you, but..."
Fan Xiaofan thought seriously for a moment, and was about to say something when Lu Zhixi grabbed his sleeve with a sweet smile: "What are you going there for? You don't even have a place to stay. Once you've investigated enough, if you want to know what happened, just ask the investigators."
Lu Zhixi didn't want Fan Xiaofan involved in this matter. Leaving aside who helped Zhou Xuehua back then and what their motives were, the Zhou family were like leeches, sucking the life out of anyone they targeted, and then there was Fan Yunli involved…
Unlike the Xiangyang Brigade, the people in Zhoujia Village still protected Xiao Fan even after they learned about this.
This is the human tendency to side with family; in their minds, whatever Xiao Fan does is right, and even if he is wrong, it's someone else's fault...
Well, Lu Zhixi sometimes felt helpless about this kind of village-wide tendency to spoil their child. Fortunately, Xiao Fan wasn't a brat.
The situation is different in Zhoujia Village. After things escalated, who knows what Xiao Fan will encounter if he goes there...
Reminded by this, Fan Xiaofan also felt that to avoid trouble, it was best to stay here and finish the investigation in peace while watching the drama unfold...
Shi Lingheng nodded slowly; he thought the same thing. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.
