Although she wanted to strangle the girl in front of her to death immediately, she still had to smile on the surface and call Xu Nuannuan in a friendly tone.
Xu Nuannuan saw that she was smiling and speaking appropriately, but she inexplicably felt that this woman did not like her.
It must be something Lin Ruyan said in front of her.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. If the other person is polite to her, she cannot be rude.
Greet Guan Yurong: "Auntie, please sit down."
Guan Yurong sat down next to Old Lady Guan and casually looked around Xu Nuannuan's yard.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, your grandmother Guan has been praising you since she got home, saying that you are both talented in literature and martial arts, and have both moral integrity and talent. You are probably the only one among these educated youth who dares to live out here alone. If you had martial arts skills, you wouldn't dare to live out here alone."
She first praised Xu Nuannuan more to build her favorability in front of the other party and narrow the distance between them, so that it would be much easier to get information from her.
Xu Nuannuan smiled without any modesty: "What Auntie said is true."
Guan Yurong's expression froze, and she thought to herself why Xu Nuannuan couldn't be more reserved. A girl like her must be uneducated.
She stood up and walked over to Xu Nuannuan, reaching out to hold her hand. "You're really pretty. Auntie likes pretty girls. Oh, look at this lovely girl. I really want you to be my goddaughter, but I'm afraid your parents won't agree."
Xu Nuannuan had already sensed her pretentiousness. She would not agree to adopt her as her goddaughter, not to mention whether her parents would agree. She herself would not agree either.
She is being too attentive for no reason. Lin Ruyan hates her so much, so why does Guan Yurong treat her so well?
"Auntie, being adopted as a godparent is a big deal, and it can't be taken lightly. I'll just treat it as a joke. However, I appreciate your kindness, and thank you for your love for me."
"Auntie, look at how sensible this girl is. I was so abrupt just now. I can't bring up the idea of adopting her as my godparents after we just met. Isn't that like snatching their daughter from your parents? Oh, it's my fault."
Guan Yurong was thinking in her mind how to mention Xu Nuannuan's parents again so as to find out where Xu Nuannuan's parents were sent down.
"Xiao Xu, the educated youth, I heard from your grandmother Guan that you are the only child in your family. Your parents must often write to you and call you. They must miss you very much back home. Ruyan is just like that. She insisted on coming to the countryside alone. She makes people worry and miss her. So, I came with your grandmother Guan to see her."
Xu Nuannuan's eyes darkened. Guan Yurong actually kept mentioning her parents.
"My parents and I often exchange letters and sometimes call each other. They know I can take care of myself and they don't worry."
"That's good, that's good. I can tell you're a hassle-free kid, better than Ruyan from our family. But what do your parents do for a living? Can't they find you a job in the city?"
Xu Nuannuan: “…”
Also mentioned her parents.
In fact, the person she least wanted to talk about in front of outsiders was her parents, for fear that she would accidentally let something slip. It was an instinctive taboo.
"My parents both work in a factory, just ordinary workers. They can't afford to find me a job."
Her expression was calm, and there was no sign of her lying.
"Then they..." She was still trying to get Xu Nuannuan to talk in other ways, but was stopped by Old Lady Guan: "Okay, Yurong, just like checking the household registration, don't ask so many questions."
She now has no idea whether Xu Nuannuan's parents have been sent down to the countryside. After all, Lin Ruyan may have lied to her in order to distance herself from Xu Nuannuan.
Besides, even if Xu Nuannuan's parents were sent down to the countryside, who would be willing to talk about such things?
Guan Yurong smiled awkwardly: "Mom, I'm just concerned about the educated young woman Xu. You like her, and I like her too."
Xu Nuannuan checked the time and said to Mrs. Guan, "Grandma, it's time for me to go to work. Let's go. Aunt Guan, I have to go to work, so I won't keep you here."
"Mom, are you going to herd sheep too?" Guan Yurong asked Old Lady Guan.
"Go out and take a walk with Nuannuan."
"But can your body handle it? Herding sheep will probably require you to travel a lot."
Xu Nuannuan said, "There's another child who helps me with the herding, and my dog can watch over the sheep. If Grandma Guan can't handle it, we don't have to go too far."
"How about I go with you guys? I think the scenery is pretty good. I'll enjoy it with you guys and take care of my mom at the same time."
Xu Nuannuan didn't want to be with Guan Yurong. This woman must know something and had been deliberately trying to trick her. She wanted to help Lin Ruyan deal with her, and she would never give her the chance.
"Auntie, the sheep we released are a little timid. Too many people will scare them. Don't worry, I will take good care of Grandma Guan."
"Yurong, you should spend more time with Ruyan. I'm fine, I'll just treat it as exercise. Otherwise, you can follow Ruyan to take a look inside the field. Don't you want to stay with Ruyan after coming all the way here?" said Old Mrs. Guan.
They all gave reasons for not letting Guan Yurong follow them, and Guan Yurong seemed to have no other excuse to follow them.
He smiled and said, "Look at me, how could I forget my own daughter. Okay, you two keep me company while I go find Ruyan. Since I'm here, of course I have to spend some time with my daughter. Okay, you two go herd the sheep together, I'll go back to find Ruyan."
As she turned around, the smile on her face froze instantly and her expression became gloomy.
That silly girl is so cunning that she didn't even mention the fact that her parents were sent down to the countryside.
She left Xu Nuannuan's residence and not far away saw a dilapidated house built on the edge of the woods, with a row of convertibles next to it.
She had passed by here when she came just now, and she knew very well what this kind of house was used for. All the evildoers from the city lived in houses like this.
At this time, two men came out. She recognized one of them, as he was her daughter's high school teacher, and she didn't know the other one.
Then I heard a woman's voice coming from the door...
