Chapter 98: Su Xueya

Seeing Wang Xuefen being so enthusiastic, I was quite happy in my heart. At least Su Xueya's biological mother loved her, so even if Su Xueya stayed with them, Wang Xuefen would at least cherish and protect her.

During the meal, Wang Xuefen kept putting food on our plates until they were full. She chatted with Su Xueya from time to time, asking about her childhood. Although she had a rough understanding before coming, hearing Su Xueya describe it herself still made Wang Xuefen feel heartbroken and sad, and she looked at Su Xueya with increasing pity.

"Um, what about my mom? She must be worried sick alone at home. I want to call her!" Su Xueya's phone had been confiscated by Su Hang, but seeing Wang Xuefen being so easy to talk to, she tentatively asked.

"Sure, don't worry. Coming here is just like being at your own home. If you miss her, I can arrange for someone to pick her up!" Wang Xuefen did not object.

Su Xueya nodded. Not long after, Wang Xuefen handed over my and Su Xueya's phones. I took my phone and checked it, finding that it was full of missed calls, mostly from Third Brother, Old Five, and Zhang Yinuo. They must have been very worried without any news from me.

I called back immediately. Third Brother answered very quickly; it seemed he had been waiting anxiously.

"Old Four, how are you? Are you okay? Did they bully you or abuse you?" Third Brother's concerned voice came from the other end, making me feel very warm inside.

"I'm fine, Third Brother. I'm doing quite well here. I have food to eat and a place to stay. I'm living quite comfortably!"

"Really? Don't lie to me. If you're fine, why haven't you answered the phone for so long? And when can you come back?"

"I left the phone in the room earlier and didn't notice. As for coming back, I'll return once I finish dealing with Su Xueya's affairs here. Don't worry!"

"Really? Why do I feel like you're lying to me?"

"How could I? I'm really not lying to you!"

"Did Su Xueya's dad do anything to you? He is simply a demon who kills without blinking. It's too terrifying!"

"Don't worry, I'm really fine. I'll be back in a few days!"

After chatting briefly with Third Brother, I learned that Chen Duxiu was indeed dead, and the announced cause of death was very fake: suicide by jumping into a river. This made me admire Su Hang's strength and ability, being able to brush off the death of two people so easily. However, I would always remember this matter, and if I had the chance, I would definitely bring him to justice.

Su Xueya had also finished her call. According to her, her mother, Zhang Fengnan, would be picked up later. I imagine Zhang Fengnan would be quite shocked upon hearing the news. Although Su Xueya and I had food and drink here, we still felt very uncomfortable because we didn't know when Su Hang might be in a bad mood and decide to pick a fight with me or try to kill me. Moreover, unless someone took us out, Su Xueya and I couldn't go anywhere; it was practically a prison, just slightly more comfortable than a real one.

After eating and finishing the calls, Wang Xuefen dressed up a bit and took us out. Su Hang had originally demanded that someone or a bodyguard accompany us, but Wang Xuefen saw that Su Xueya was clearly unhappy, so she firmly refused and promised Su Hang that she would definitely bring us back. Only then did Su Hang let us out. However, I felt it was unlikely that no one was following us; I always felt there were four or five people following us in the shadows.

This was N City, the capital of J Province. As the most developed area in J Province, the consumption, economy, and city were much more luxurious than our small town. The car Wang Xuefen was driving was one I had only seen on phones and TV; it should be a Rolls-Royce. And just now in the garage, I saw many famous cars; these should all belong to Su Hang. I have to say, this guy was truly wealthy to the extreme.

Wang Xuefen took us to a shopping mall and wanted to buy clothes for Su Xueya. Just the decoration and overall luxury of the mall made Su Xueya and me gasp. Just then, Wang Xuefen's phone rang. She checked it and said to us: "Xueya, Yang Yun, you guys go check out this store first. The clothes inside are quite nice. Buy whatever you like, I'll pay for it. Don't be polite at all!"

After saying that, she went to the side to answer the phone. Su Xueya's eyes lit up when she saw the clothes inside; they were indeed very beautiful. However, the prices weren't cheap either. But with Wang Xuefen, it shouldn't be a problem; after all, no girl doesn't love beauty.

Su Xueya and I slowly walked into the store. Su Xueya walked over to a very beautiful dress in the middle, and her eyes basically never left it. I checked the price tag and was stunned; this piece of clothing actually cost over seventy thousand yuan. You have to know that in our small town, seventy thousand yuan was two or three years of income for a family.

Su Xueya wanted to reach out and touch the material and texture of the dress, but just as she was about to reach out, she was suddenly stopped by a sales clerk nearby: "Hey, what are you doing? If you're not buying, don't touch it! If you ruin it, can you afford to pay for it?"

Hearing this, Su Xueya was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand. The sales clerk looked at Su Xueya's and my attire with disdain and said: "Look at who you are, daring to come here to buy clothes. Aren't you ashamed?"

Su Xueya felt even more awkward upon hearing this and pulled me, wanting to leave. But I was unhappy now. I looked coldly at the sales clerk and said: "Is this how you do business in your store? What kind of attitude is that?"

"Heh, you're getting cocky? What kind of attitude? My attitude is perfectly normal. If you can't afford it, get lost. I know you types; you definitely want to try it on, take pictures, and post them on social media to show off. Don't embarrass yourselves here!" The female sales clerk was arrogant, feeling as if she were superior.

Many people around agreed: "That's right, there are too many people like this now. I saw someone on social media before, posting luxury clothes and watches every day, but it turned out they were all fake. These people have no money, yet they pretend to be rich all day. It's really annoying!"

"I'm not, I didn't!" Su Xueya felt very aggrieved. It was the first time she had been ridiculed like this. The events of the past two days had already made her unhappy, and today's incident made her feel even more wronged; tears were about to fall. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
