She pouted and lowered her head: "You know, I've always been in poor health. I knitted this while I was sick and was enduring the discomfort."
"This might be the last year I give you a gift. I'm going abroad for medical treatment next year, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back."
"We grew up together, so please accept this little token of our appreciation. You can keep it even if you don't wear it."
Gu Nian's eyes grew even colder: "What do you mean by growing up together? We just live in the same neighborhood."
"Take your things and go home."
As if she hadn't heard, she turned to look at Luo Shimiao: "You must be Luo Shimiao."
What brings you here?
“It’s nothing. My family won’t let me use my phone too much because I’m sick. I’m curious about you celebrities. Is it really like what they say online?” Xu Xiaoran paused, then continued, “Would you sleep with the director for a role?”
"Don't misunderstand, I wasn't talking about you." She then looked at Gu Nian and said, "I believe she wouldn't do such a thing."
Looking at her frail body, which seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her over, Luo Shimiao crossed his arms and said, "You trust me so much on the first day we met? How do you know I haven't done such a thing?"
She covered her mouth with a surprised look, blinking her eyes: "You actually did it, Brother Anian, you're so generous, you don't mind at all."
Luo Jianxing looked at the woman who only reached his shoulders, put his hands on his hips and said, "Hey, is your staple food shit? The air is polluted the moment you open your mouth."
"Are your ears just for decoration? Didn't you realize it was a question mark?"
"Wow!" Luo Shimiao raised his hand and clapped: "Third Brother, your verbal skills have improved a lot."
Xu Xiaoran blinked her innocent eyes, pouted and said, "She said it herself, not me. Since it wasn't me, it's just a misunderstanding. Anyway, it didn't cause her any harm."
"You started by swearing, showing no gentlemanly manners at all. How could Brother Anian have a friend like you?"
"I advise you to stay away from Brother Anian. If you lead Brother Anian astray, Aunt Su and Uncle Gu will not let you off the hook."
"So you think you can be so sarcastic and indirect? I'm going to insult you, so what?" Luo Jianxing made a face at her.
Xu Xiaoran clutched her chest, staring at him, her body swaying precariously.
Luo Shimiao looked at her and chuckled awkwardly, "According to the plot of the novel, you're going to collapse, aren't you?" He then looked at Gu Nian and asked, "Do you know what illness she has?"
"Wishful thinking, shameless bravado." Gu Nian glanced at her coldly: "Aren't you leaving? Do I have to call security before you'll leave?"
Li Man stood up and walked over leisurely: "A-Nian, why be so polite with her? Just throw her out."
“Back then, she staged an accident for me, and her mother made me take responsibility for her. If I throw her out now, wouldn’t that just be giving them an opportunity to do the same?”
Xu Xiaoran looked hurt. "Brother Anian, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not explaining things clearly to my mother back then." She blinked her moist eyes and looked at him. "If you still mind what happened back then, I can make it up to you, as long as you're willing to give me a chance."
“yue...” These words made Luo Shimiao want to vomit: “Your skin is the most magical part of your body. It can be big or small, thick or thin, and even optional.”
"If you're sick, just stay home and lie down. With your eyes that are so narrow, your visibility is about the same as the card slot of an ATM. If you go out and aren't careful, you'll fall and die, and then you'll be done playing."
"When you're down on your luck, you can choke to death even if you just drink water." She calculated with her fingers: "I see you're radiating bad luck, you'd better watch out."
A tear rolled down Xu Xiaoran's cheek, and she dropped her handbag and ran away.
Luo Shimiao called out to her retreating figure, "Slow down!"
Gu Nian took out his phone and called his mother: "Mom, ask that mother and daughter to leave."
"Mom knows." Su Jingwen glanced at the woman sitting on the sofa, smiling obsequiously at the old man, and thought to herself, "Hmph, she really has no sense of propriety."
At this moment, Xu Xiaoran, her face streaked with tears, threw herself into her mother's arms: "Mom, sob sob~"
"What's wrong, my darling? Who bullied you?"
"Luo Shimiao and a man with dyed silver hair cursed me, saying that I would fall to my death if I went out."
"Damn it, how could there be such wicked people? Take me to them."
Su Jingwen walked over and said coldly, "He Jing, you can leave now. Don't come to our house again."
"I was too subtle before, and you probably didn't understand because of your intelligence. Do you understand now?"
He Jing paused for a moment after hearing this, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said with a smile, "Jingwen, we're all neighbors, don't be like that."
“I consulted a master, who said that Xiao Ran and Anian are destined to be together, and that my Xiao Ran is a phoenix girl, and whoever marries her will have a prosperous family.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoran stopped crying and looked shy: "Mom, please stop."
Su Jingwen took a deep breath. She really wanted to give this shameless woman a good scolding.
"Whoever wants to marry her can marry her. My son doesn't care about any 'phoenix girl.' I'll say it again: leave immediately."
"Alright, alright." Seeing that she was really angry, He Jing pulled her daughter up: "But my precious daughter has been bullied, and as her mother, I can't just sit idly by."
"I'll go ask my daughter for an apology and then leave."
Gu Ming, who hadn't spoken yet, stood up and swept his sharp eyes over: "Take this old man's advice, you'd better not go."
"We are family-oriented, firstly because we're too lazy to argue with you, and secondly because you don't deserve it."
