Chapter 501: Do You Want to Come With Me

~4 min read 742 words

Jiang Huiwen, this youngest daughter who had been pampered growing up, flared up the moment she heard her second brother's words: "Second Brother, what do you mean? Mom really raised you for nothing."

At this moment, Wang Mansheng's wife, who was sitting beside him, refused to let it go: "Your second brother was merely telling the truth, and you just slapped such a huge label of unfilial behavior on him. What a fine sister you are. I'd like to see whether this 'not raised for nothing' one of yours can rescue Mom."

Wang Manshu was so angered by his second sister-in-law Ning Lili's words that he could barely speak: "You you you....."

He stammered for a long time without managing a single complete sentence. Even his elder brother couldn't do anything about it, so where would she get the ability.

At this moment, Wang Shanyuan, who had rushed back from the cadre rest home with a dark expression, slammed his palm onto the table: "All of you, shut your mouths. You think the family hasn't lost enough face already?"

Seeing that none of his sons were speaking, he said with a face full of resentment: "Her matter, none of you are to interfere anymore. Just let nature take its course."

Wang Manzhi, hearing this, anxiously stood up: "Dad, does this mean you're giving up on Mom?"

Wang Shanyuan's expression was terrifying: "She's capable of doing something so shameless, why would I still bother with her?"

Perhaps he was too angry, he immediately started coughing.

Thinking of the gossip from the neighbors he had heard on his way back, he looked up at his three children, confirmed that each of them could find some resemblance to himself in them, and only then withdrew his gaze of scrutiny.

The few of them weren't fools; seeing their father's look, what was there still not to understand.

It was still the impatient Wang Manzhi who spoke first: "Dad, what do you mean? You suspect us, suspect Mom?"

The moment these words came out, Ning Lili, sitting beside Wang Mansheng, directly rolled her eyes: Isn't this just plain as day?

Wang Shanyuan didn't even look at his youngest daughter, his gaze sweeping toward his two sons: "No more wasting time and resources. She isn't worth it."

With that one sentence, Jiang Huiwen was directly abandoned.

Yet Liu Chuxue, who had hung up the phone, felt her heart grow heavy. She had only wanted to collect some interest, but she didn't know which well-meaning soul had actually sent the person inside.

Seeing Jiang Huiwen was probably out of the question now, but the mystery of her father's background seemed to be known only to her, and she couldn't help but blame herself for being too impatient.

After Liu Chuxue returned to the dormitory, she lay down directly on the bed.

Ji Kunlan came back and saw her lying down: "Why are you lying down? Not feeling well?"

Liu Chuxue came back to herself and waved her hand: "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was truly fine, Ji Kunlan went about her own business. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, she finally found what she was looking for: "Chuxue, I need to make a trip to my second brother's place, so I won't go to the cafeteria with you tonight."

Liu Chuxue gave a soft "mm."

Seeing Liu Chuxue like this, Ji Kunlan asked: "Did something happen?"

Before Liu Chuxue could come up with an excuse, she heard Ji Kunlan say: "How about you come with me to the Railway Compound."

Liu Chuxue was about to refuse without thinking, but only belatedly registered the words "Railway Compound," and immediately brightened up: "Where did you just say you were going?"

Ji Kunlan, her mind occupied with the matter her own mother had assigned, didn't notice the change in Liu Chuxue's expression: "I'm going to my second brother's place. Do you want to come along?"

Liu Chuxue looked puzzled: "Didn't you say before that your second brother is a soldier? How could they be living in the Railway Compound?"

Ji Kunlan explained with a smile: "My second sister-in-law's maiden family is in the Railway Compound. She spends most of her time living over there, and only when my second brother comes back on leave does my second sister-in-law come back for a short stay."

After saying that, she asked once more: "Do you want to come with me?"
