Chapter 103: The Truth
Realizing that Yan Ye was looking at them, Xu Xiaoyue took the money without saying a word.
She fiddled with her two smooth black braids, picked up a coat and prepared to go out.
Liu Ye hurriedly urged Yan Shuli, who was standing next to him as if nothing had happened, "Follow them."
She thought to herself that she didn't know whether the silly boy took after her or Old Yan, he was so dull and stupid that he even had to rely on her to pursue a female comrade.
Here, Yan Shuli had just stepped out of the door when Yan Ye, who was sitting on the sofa, could no longer sit still.
The man took a long step, stood up and walked out.
Xu Xiaoyue took a few steps and deliberately waited at the gate of the yard. She lowered her head and squeezed the five yuan in her hand again and again, tapping the ground with her toes from time to time, and her head lowered as if she was waiting for someone.
She happened to meet Hu Hongyan, who was rushing out with a rag bag in her hand. She didn't check and bumped into Xu Xiaoyue from behind.
Xu Xiaoyue was bumped into by her from behind and staggered, but fortunately she raised her hand to hold the wall next to her to keep steady.
After knocking someone down, Hu Hongyan was about to apologize, but after squinting her eyes and recognizing that it was Xu Xiaoyue, she suddenly said "Pah" on the ground and continued.
"She has just recovered from her illness and she can't wait to come out and flirt with others. She is really a country girl with no sense of shame."
Hu Hongyan had been so anxious about her son Wang Hao's affairs these past two days that blisters appeared on the corners of her mouth. She had no place to vent her anger, and happened to run into Xu Xiaoyue, so she immediately said all kinds of unpleasant things to him.
After she finished scolding, she was about to leave with her bag, but Xu Xiaoyue stopped her and said, "Apologize."
The girl's fair face was raised high, and the coldness in her eyes made Hu Hongyan tremble all over.
"What are you apologizing for, you little girl, don't delay my work."
After Hu Hongyan finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but unexpectedly Xu Xiaoyue took a step forward and blocked her again.
"You won't apologize, right? Then don't even think about leaving." She said, standing in front of the woman, as if she would not give an inch.
"You little bitch, you're shameless even though I've given you the chance." Hu Hongyan put her bag into her pocket and raised her hand high to slap Xu Xiaoyue's pretty little face.
Just as she was about to exert force, she felt a piercing pain in her wrist.
Hu Hongyan turned around and her pupils shrank. Isn't this Yan Ye from the Yan family?
"Aunt Hu, what are you doing?" The man took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xu Xiaoyue.
"Xiao Ye, you came at the right time. I have watched you grow up since you were a child. Haozi recently offended someone and was arrested by the police."
"I have been so worried about this that I haven't slept for several days. You are one of the best in the army. Can you help me think of a way to get your brother Haozi out?"
With Yan Ye here, Hu Hongyan had put aside the dispute with Xu Xiaoyue. She had a smirk on her face and spoke in a flattering tone.
"I can't control Wang Hao's affairs, but Aunt Hu, Xu Xiaoyue is a member of my Yan family since she lives in the Yan family. If I see you being rude to her again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Hongyan's face became stiff and ugly. She thought to herself that she really didn't check the almanac before going out today. Seeing that Yan Ye was unwilling to help, she turned and left.
Yan Shuli was watching from the side, and the strange feeling in his heart surged up again.
Hu Hongyan had just raised her hand to slap him when her uncle hurried forward. He didn't even ask what the dispute between the two was about and directly ignored Hu Hongyan's face.
This move seems a bit too protective.
"Why are you chasing me? Aunt Liu asked me to go shopping with Yan Shuli, and it has nothing to do with you." Xu Xiaoyue pursed her lips, turned her head and didn't look at Yan Ye.
Yan Ye knew that she was angry because of the gift, so he simply pointed it out: "When I was in the army, I did give Zheng Jiaojiao a pen."
He admitted it so frankly that Xu Xiaoyue became even angrier upon seeing it.
A pen, a pen. It wasn’t enough for Zheng Jiaojiao to show off her superiority, now the real owner has to come out in person, right?
She no longer stood on tiptoe, no longer looked at anyone, she pressed her lips down, turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't be so impatient, just listen to me..."
Before Yan Ye finished speaking, Xu Xiaoyue's angry voice came from the front: "What else do you want to hear? You gave her a pen and I gave me a book of educational quotations, right?"
"Tell her to study hard and ask me not to go to jail, right?"
An angry voice came from the front. Yan Shuli heard it word for word from the back. The corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't help laughing out loud. Usually Xu Xiaoyue looked down on him, but she didn't realize that he had such a humorous side.
The moment he laughed out loud, a cold gaze was cast upon his face. Yan Shuli immediately restrained his expression and stiffened his face to steady it.
Yan Ye strode forward and stood side by side with Xu Xiaoyue. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Xu Xiaoyue snorted coldly and walked to the left to distance herself from the man.
Yan Shuli saw that the two people in front were walking faster and faster. Just as he was about to speed up to catch up, he heard Zheng Jiaojiao's voice from behind: "Brother Shuli..."
Zheng Jiaojiao hurriedly caught up. At first, Liu Ye sent Xu Xiaoyue and Yan Shuli away. She was thinking that this was a good opportunity to talk to Yan Ye.
Unexpectedly, Yan Ye followed them not far after they walked away. Zheng Jiaojiao was so angry that she didn't even have time to dress up and hurriedly followed him out.
After being interrupted by Zheng Jiaojiao, Yan Shuli stopped. When he looked forward, he could not even see the shadow of his uncle and Xu Xiaoyue.
"Tell me, what did you want to tell me just now?"
In the alley, Xu Xiaoyue stopped and her tone was not very nice. She didn't even bother to look at the person in front of her. Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry.
Yan Ye also stopped. Seeing Xu Xiaoyue's cold face along the way, he thought she would not want to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, she actually took the initiative to give him a chance to explain.
After a moment of surprise, the man said, "I did have a little misunderstanding about you at the time, but this misunderstanding did not come out of thin air."
Xu Xiaoyue now felt inexplicably relieved.
Ever since she entered the book, she had doubted Yan Ye many times because of his seemingly insignificant disgust towards her.
Since Xu Xiaoyue came to the Yan family, she considered herself a law-abiding and good citizen. She did not flirt with other men as described in the books. However, Yan Ye still hated her and even spoke ill of her in front of Liu Ye again and again.
She wanted to know where the man's disgust came from, but she didn't have the courage to ask, and kept avoiding the question in a self-deceiving way.
"Why?"
When she asked this, her tone was already tearful. She sniffed, not wanting to appear so vulnerable, and coughed a few times to pretend to be calm before continuing, "Just tell me why you hated me before."
Yan Ye was silent for a while, and then he spoke in a hoarse voice, "The meeting on the train was not our first meeting."
"At first, I heard you talking to your mother under the big locust tree in your village."
