Chapter 528: Chapter 528: They Actually Don’t Believe

Even though Lin Haoze was just a student, he felt that there wasn’t a job that suited her better than being a house sitter; his student life was tough enough each and every day.

Youngest Aunt, however, was like a fairy, everything handed to her on a platter, fed mouthfuls without effort.

Sometimes she wouldn’t even bother to wash her clothes, letting mom and grandma do it for her.

Most of the time, it was mom who ended up doing it. She really had some thick skin.

But Youngest Aunt always remembered to share whatever good food she had with him.

There was a long silence before Luo Shuxiu patted her son’s shoulder and said, "You’re a grown-up now, and when you’re out in the world, you need to maintain face. Your Youngest Aunt has been spoiled by your grandma to the point where she thinks too much of herself. If she doesn’t act appropriately and ends up embarrassing herself in front of Sister Little Nuan, it won’t be her face that’s lost, but yours. I’m thinking of you when I say this, but if you want to tell them the truth, I won’t stop you. After all, Little Nuan isn’t someone to be ashamed of; why should she always be spoken of as a poor freeloader? Am I right?"

Lin Haoze was confused. So should he tell them or not?

In fact, he didn’t want to, but when he entered the house and saw that his dad wasn’t home and that grandma and Youngest Aunt were listening to the radio, he hesitated. As soon as she saw them return, Youngest Aunt smelled the distinctive scent of the hot pot restaurant, swallowed hard, and sarcastically remarked to Luo Shuxiu, "Wow, you took so long eating. Did your poor country fellow bring out tomorrow’s meal with her, or even the day after’s? Could it be that she ate so much she can’t even walk? Big sister, didn’t you advise her? Don’t let her stuff herself sick. If her parents come to you for compensation, let me tell you, our family doesn’t have money to give away."

Lin Haoze noticed that Youngest Aunt’s words seemed to bypass her brain.

Could a person who got into Beidu University as the top student in the entire province be stupid?

So, even if she’d never had meat before, it wasn’t like she couldn’t walk because of overeating.

Why didn’t Youngest Aunt think before saying these things?

Mother Lin, however, said, "It’s good you took Little Ze with you, otherwise a stranger would have benefited. I’m telling you, Luo Shuxiu, that’s enough. From now on, you are not allowed to associate with that poor country bumpkin."

Then she took Lin Haoze’s hand, with a face full of affection, "My grandson, grandma has prepared your bath water. Go and wash up. I’ve also simmered some lotus seed porridge for you, it’ll be just right to eat when you’re done bathing."

She also cautioned Lin Haoze, "Little Ze, if your mom’s country fellow is so keen on taking advantage, her family’s conditions must be poor, and she might even have trouble with living expenses. If she comes to the school asking to borrow money, don’t lend her any, and remember not to associate with her, okay?"

Lin Haoze shook off Mother Lin’s hand and said indignantly, "Grandma, Sister Little Nuan isn’t some poor country bumpkin; she bought a courtyard house in Auspicious Alley in Beidu. She even has a cool Jeep with a special license plate. This tracksuit I’m wearing is a gift from Sister Little Nuan. Today, we didn’t spend a dime on the hotpot. It was Brother Gu Huai’an, the one who developed Dongfang Hong, who paid for us to eat our fill. I’m so full, and you are no longer allowed to call Sister Little Nuan a poor country bumpkin."

Lin Haoze thought that his words would shock his grandma and Youngest Aunt, causing them to instantly change their attitude and start quizzing him for details.

He was starting to regret speaking out.

Would this cause trouble for Sister Little Nuan?

But unexpectedly, after exchanging a glance, grandma and Youngest Aunt burst into laughter.

Lin Li’s expression was indescribably complex as she turned to face Luo Shuxiu, who was silent, and scorned her, "Sister-in-law, how could you teach Little Ze to tell such lies? Buying a house in Auspicious Alley, as if it’s that easy to buy property nowadays, let alone in Auspicious Alley where only the rich and distinguished live. Big sister, have you ever been to her house? Of course not, and at your age, you’re still so gullible. You believe whatever you’re told; they’re lying to you."

Lin Haoze’s face flushed red as he insisted, "Sister Little Nuan came in a Jeep with a special license plate; that can’t be fake, can it?"

Mother Lin immediately thought of the stories her old friends had told her about her hometown in the countryside.

It was a very poor place where wedding clothes were borrowed and had to be returned right after the celebration.

She assumed this so-called country fellow had borrowed the Jeep to save face, deceiving the naïve Luo Shuxiu, all so she could later ask to borrow things and money.

Mother Lin became more and more afraid the more she thought about it, and she became convinced it was true. She gave Lin Haoze a shove, "Go take a shower, it’s getting late. You have to go to school tomorrow. In the future, you need to be more discerning, don’t just believe whatever anyone tells you. She must know one of the students and flattered them, then borrowed their jeep to put on a show, all to fool your mother. Don’t believe her nonsense, and don’t spread rumors outside. If someone in the know hears about it, won’t they laugh at you?"

Lin Haoze staggered from the shove.

Disbelieving, he looked at his grandmother and his youngest aunt, who had a mocking expression on her face.

They truly did not believe him, thinking he was lying and deceiving people.

Even what he had just mentioned about Gu Huai’an and Dongfang Hong, did they not hear it?

So, unless they saw with their own eyes, they would never believe it?

Yes, they wouldn’t believe it, they would only think it was something his mother had taught him.

Lin Haoze insisted, "I’m telling the truth, believe it or not. When you meet the person in question, you’ll know. I hope that by then, you won’t shamelessly try to curry favor, hmph!"

Luo Shuxiu actually breathed a sigh of relief.

These two had not taken what Little Ze said about Gu Huai’an seriously at all.

It wasn’t that they looked down on Gu Huai’an.

On the contrary, it was because Gu Huai’an was so far out of their reach, lofty and unattainable, a name they only heard on newspapers, TV, and the radio.

He was a person they would never come into contact with in their lifetime.

So when Little Ze said he was his big brother Huai’an, it went in one ear and out the other for them.

This was the mischief of preconceived impressions at play.

If Luo Shuxiu lived in Beidu, with parents as high-ranking officials, and she told them that she had just dined with some well-known leader, they would all believe her.

In fact, the situation as it currently was pretty good.

With the way Lin Li was so shamelessly entitled, if she knew the truth, she might really dare to seek out Little Nuan.

But Luo Shuxiu wanted to see Lin Han’s reaction. When Lin Han returned, she asked with a smile, "Do you know who my fellow townsman is?"

Unfortunately, Lin Han was immersed in his own thoughts.

In his mind were a pair of charming, peach-blossom eyes filled with admiration and worship for him.

Ever since he returned to work, such gazes were not new to him, but her eyes in particular made his heart tremble.

She was beautiful and passionate, full of youthful energy, always using this excuse or that to get close to him. He nonchalantly told her he had been married for many years, with a diligent and virtuous wife and a twelve-year-old son.

This was something he couldn’t hide. After all, he knew Bian Haiying’s intentions all too well.
