Hua Xiangyun could tell from the constant changes in her expression that the other person was imagining things.
She's supposed to be the original female lead, but is she really this unbearable after her halo is removed?
Look at that ferocious expression. If I gave her a mirror right now, I wonder if she would restrain herself a little in the future?
Hua Xiangyun was in a hurry to get home for dinner and was about to walk around her when Zhou Xiaolan reacted quickly this time, stepping aside to block her way again.
Hua Xiangyun's skills were far beyond her reach; she couldn't get even an inch closer despite several attempts.
But this also made Hua Xiangyun realize that Zhou Xiaolan had come with a purpose this time, and it seemed that she really wanted to destroy herself.
Seeing that she couldn't reach Hua Xiangyun, Zhou Xiaolan simply stopped and looked at her with a mournful gaze.
"I just don't understand why you dislike me so much?"
You used to share everything with me, why have you changed so much?
These days, Zhou Xiaolan feels like she's hallucinating; she feels like she shouldn't be living like this.
Hua Xiangyun should not have known that she was instigating He Ping to hurt someone behind his back, and that the two were still the closest of friends.
With Hua Xiangyun's connection, she only needs to use a little trickery to marry into the Hua family smoothly.
With the Hua family helping to block the Zhou family, she and Zhi'an should be living a smooth and easy life. Even the Hua family's most beloved sister-in-law has to obediently make way for her.
But now everything is in chaos. Hua Xiangyun has broken off relations with her, and the Hua family has no goodwill towards her at all. They are even wary of her at every turn, which has made her give up the idea of marrying into the Hua family.
It shouldn't be like this, but reality forced her to face it.
The scene in the dream was so different from reality, and all these changes happened after Hua Xiangyun was injured. Did she also have the same dream? And did she even tell her family?
Did you have the same dream?
Hua Xiangyun looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Dreaming? What kind of dream? Can't you just get some sleep?"
"If this isn't a dream, why would you treat me like this?"
"This is ridiculous! Are you hallucinating? I heard this is a kind of illness. You should go to the hospital to get checked out right away." Hua Xiangyun dodged past her and, seeing a neighbor walking this way, said loudly, "Comrade Zhou Xiaolan, the road is so wide, don't block my way."
This is a flat road. If you fall again, don't blame me.
As she spoke, she called out to her neighbor, "Grandma Xu, where are you going?"
When Xu Dani saw that it was Hua Xiangyun, she smiled and showed her chipped front tooth. "Xiangyun is back from school. She was cooking and found that she was out of soy sauce, so she was going to go and get some more."
When I came out, I smelled something delicious coming from your house. Your grandma must have already prepared the meal. You should go back home now.
Hua Xiangyun knew that Xu Dani and Tian Guihua were on good terms. "I was just about to go back when Zhou Xiaolan stopped me and said some strange things."
"Grandma Xu, if you don't have any soy sauce, you can come to my house to get some. It's too much trouble for you to run back and forth in the middle of the day just for a little soy sauce."
Xu Dani: "No need. It's just me and your Grandpa Xu having dinner. It doesn't matter if it's a little earlier or a little later."
Next time someone stops you, don't be so honest as to insist on stopping. If they have ill intentions, you, a young girl, could suffer the consequences.
This large courtyard left the Zhou family with absolutely no good impression.
Moreover, I've heard that the Zhou family girl has been having a lot of bad luck lately, so it's best to stay away from her.
Zhou Xiaolan watched from afar, feeling disliked. Her daughter knew that these old ladies were not easy to deal with; she couldn't handle just any one of them, let alone an old lady who was on good terms with Tian Guihua.
She felt a surge of resentment and looked down at her blackened fingernails. This time, she had missed her chance to scratch that fair, glowing face.
Even if the Zhou family comes knocking on her door afterward, so what? She was accidentally injured during the fight. At worst, she could just pay some medical expenses. Anyway, she wouldn't get those betrothal gifts.
However, there was one thing she didn't understand: Hua Xiangyun had never been so skilled before, otherwise she wouldn't have been so easily injured by He Ping'an.
These differences made her somewhat uncertain again; the so-called dream was nothing more than a thought deep in her heart.
Hua Xiangyun ignored her. She had just been frightened by Zhou Xiaolan and needed to go back to her grandmother for comfort, and also to complain about her.

Jiang Yi also brought news from the west side of the city as night fell.
After much deliberation, Cheng Yue did not go directly to the Liu family to cause trouble, but instead went back to her parents' home first.
The Cheng family quickly took action, including anyone with even a slight connection to the Liu family in their investigation.
Unexpectedly, in just half a day, they had already become suspicious of a small courtyard in the county town.
Liu Haifeng had been in and out of this place before. When he met acquaintances, he would tell them that his distant relatives lived here and that he would occasionally come over to visit.
This in itself reveals something abnormal. They live in the same county, and the other party has an independent courtyard. Given Liu's boastful nature, it's impossible that he wouldn't mention such a marriage.
What made Chen Yue most nervous was that the other family had a little girl the same age as her own ungrateful child.
I heard that the little girl started doing housework as soon as she learned to walk, and was often beaten and verbally abused.
Sometimes, it's the neighbors who can't stand it anymore and have to warn the neighborhood committee before they dare to go too far.
If this were a biological child, no matter how unlikable they were, no one would dare treat them like this.
Thinking of the master's words, Cheng Yue clutched her chest and cried uncontrollably to her parents and siblings, "She might be my daughter, I want to see her."
Cheng's mother also hugged her and wiped away her tears, "If it were our child who had been cursed by the Liu family, I would never let them get away with it."
"Let's go see that child right now. I refuse to believe that any child born into our family wouldn't resemble him at all."
There was some truth to what Mrs. Cheng said. Whether it was her daughter-in-law's child or her daughter's child, they all resembled members of the Cheng family.
There's only Cheng Yue, their youngest daughter, but not only does her child not resemble the Cheng family, she's also not close to them.
At this moment, Brother Cheng rushed in angrily, "No need to go and see, that's our Cheng family's child."
Thinking of the child who had been abused and reduced to nothing but skin and bones, Brother Cheng clenched his fists tightly.
"Big brother, have you seen that child?" Cheng Yue looked at her older brother Cheng with hope.
Brother Cheng nodded heavily, "I happened to ask around in that area, and the kid was dragging a huge pile of scrap metal to the scrap yard."
The boy's eyes are exactly the same as ours, and his nose is just like our dad's.
I also found out that the woman living in that courtyard was a widow, a temporary worker at the soap factory, but her life was no worse than that of the permanent workers.
That detached house was left by her deceased husband, and now he lives there with the child.
Her salary should have been more than enough to support a child, yet she forced her grown child to collect and sell recyclables every day.
