Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Strategy

Zhu Yun, fuming with anger, finished speaking and walked out holding the child. Yang Xiaoxi didn’t stop her. As they reached the door, Zhu Yun turned her head and cursed when she saw Yang Xiaoxi wasn’t calling her back.

"Yang Xiaoxi, you’ve just made some money these past years because of your face, what’s so great about that? Let me tell you, what goes around comes around, and there will be a day when you’ll beg me for help."

After saying that, she walked out the door with the child, and accidentally bumped the child’s head. As the child cried and yelled ’Auntie,’ she angrily said, "Auntie what? Can’t you see they look down on us poor relatives? They don’t consider you a niece at all."

Yang Xiaoxi knew Zhu Yun said this intentionally for her to hear, but she didn’t take it seriously at all. Zhu Yun was always like this, turning hostile if she couldn’t get a bargain and not long after, she would come shamelessly asking for money. This had happened countless times in the past five years, so Yang Xiaoxi was unfazed.

Seeing Zhu Yun really leave, Lu Siyuan almost laughed too hard, "How did you even end up with such a bizarre relative here?"

"Don’t even mention it, I get angry just thinking about it. She’s my cousin, bizarre as can be," Yang Xiaoxi said, feeling a headache coming on.

Cheng Feiyang added, "When she first came here, I was the one who picked her up from the train station. At the first opportunity, when we were not around, she rummaged through Mianmian’s room. We wanted to send her away, but then He Nan had an accident, and everyone was too busy to deal with it, so she ended up staying, finding a local supermarket owner, and that’s how she settled down here."

It was the first time even Cheng Feiyang had seen such a bizarre relative.

Lu Siyuan said, "If it were Mianmian’s relative, they probably wouldn’t even dare to step through the door. Honestly, I really admire Mianmian for being so decisive and straightforward."

"It’s mainly because it’s hard to explain to my parents," Yang Xiaoxi sighed, "My parents think Zhu Yun isn’t living well, and they always ask me to look after her a bit."

"She seems to be doing just fine to me. Look, she’s even sturdier than you," Lu Siyuan joked.

As they chatted in the courtyard, Zhu Yun, standing at the door, heard everything clear as day, knowing they would not say anything nice behind her back, and sure enough, she guessed right.

With a huff, she walked away holding the child, grumbling as she went, "A bunch of no-goods, no wonder one can’t get married at twenty-something and the other has a child out of wedlock after her man went missing for five years. Back in our hometown, they’d be the talk of the town, enough to drown them in spit."

Caught up in her rant, she didn’t notice someone passing by. The woman who walked past overheard her and immediately stopped, then caught up with her, calling out, "Hey! Wait a minute."

Zhu Yun heard the shout, paused, and looked back irritably, "Are you calling me?"

Already annoyed, her tone was quite harsh.

"I just found five dollars; did you drop it?" the woman asked.

Only then did Zhu Yun notice the five dollars in the woman’s hand. She snatched it quickly, "Yes, it’s mine."

Fearing the rightful owner might come looking for it, Zhu Yun hurried off with the child, but the woman followed.

Feeling a bit guilty, Zhu Yun asked, "Why are you following me?"

"I’m not following you; I just happen to be going in this direction," the woman said.

Hearing this, Zhu Yun was reassured, but then the woman continued, "I overheard you mentioning something about five years ago, do you also know He Nan?"
