Chapter 269 Arrangement

Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Arrangement

A crowd had gathered outside Zhang Changfa’s home, and Shen Mianmian, being short in stature, was completely unable to see what was happening inside. She could only hear Zhou Lanfang yelling amidst the people.

"Everyone, come and look! It’s this brat whose hair hasn’t even grown in, mixing up with my deadbeat daughter, and now he’s even shown up at our doorstep."

Hearing this, Shen Mianmian scoffed. This was her mother, indeed, never missing an opportunity to sling mud at her. In public, calling out her daughter’s shame, there probably wasn’t a second mother like her in the whole Licheng.

"Are you even a mother? Shen Mianmian has disappeared, and instead of calling the police and searching for her, you’re here making a scene. Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?"

Lu Siyuan was nearly driven mad with frustration by Zhou Lanfang. He had waited a long time without seeing Shen Mianmian emerge and felt that something was off, so he had inquired about Shen Mianmian’s place and ended up finding nobody there.

Learning that Zhou Lanfang was at Zhang Changfa’s home watching TV, he had no choice but to ask her. The result was Zhou Lanfang clinging to him, throwing a tantrum, and making a scene with wild accusations.

If she wasn’t Shen Mianmian’s mother, he would have been unable to restrain himself from hitting someone a long time ago.

At this moment, he was desperate, yet Zhou Lanfang clung to him tightly. She was no stranger to hard farm work, and her strength was truly substantial—nearly a match for a man’s.

"Everyone, come quickly and look! He even dares to curse, no wonder he has the audacity to fool around with that young girl at such a young age; they’re clearly both ill-bred."

Having finally seized this opportunity, Zhou Lanfang was not willing to let it slip. She spewed out every nasty word she could think of.

Old Lady Liu had long been unable to stand by, and she stepped forward to pull Zhou Lanfang away, "What kind of things are you saying? The man already told you he’s Mianmian’s classmate, why are you yelling nonsense?"

Zhou Lanfang’s shouting would give anyone who didn’t know any better the impression that Mianmian really had some untoward relationship with him. She had never seen such a mother.

"What classmate would find their way to your house?" Zhou Lanfang, eyes bulging, spit flying, questioned, "Why haven’t your daughter’s male classmates come to your house? I heard long ago that my deadbeat daughter wasn’t behaving at school and even got mixed up in improper relations between boys and girls."

"Who did you hear it from? Drag them out and let’s confront them face to face." Shen Mianmian pushed her way through the crowd, managing to come forth despite her throat still hurting, making her voice barely audible. But the tone of her speech carried a weight of its own.

"Mianmian."

Lu Siyuan’s eyes brightened, and the anxiety that had been hanging in his heart finally settled back into his stomach.

A sigh of relief washed over him; his mind, previously agitated by the fear that something might have happened to Shen Mianmian, suddenly regained composure.

He had been restless before, afraid that Shen Mianmian might have been in trouble, afraid of missing the opportunity to save her. Now seeing her safe, his entire demeanor instantly calmed, and he stopped struggling, allowing Zhou Lanfang to cling to him.

"You deadbeat daughter, why have you come back?"

Zhou Lanfang’s eyes almost popped out as she regained her senses.

She was not supposed to be off work yet; did she come back early because she was slacking and got sent back?

Shen Mianmian sneered, "If I didn’t come back, how would I know that you were slandering me behind my back?"

"You deadbeat daughter, who are you saying is slandering you?" Zhou Lanfang released Lu Siyuan and poked Shen Mianmian hard on the head.

Upon seeing this, Lu Siyuan promptly pulled Shen Mianmian behind him and warned Zhou Lanfang, "Try touching her again, and see what happens?" You venomous, wicked woman.

"Look at that, all of you look," Zhou Lanfang pointed at them excitedly, "Did I say anything wrong? Look how he protects that deadbeat daughter, just like a hen with her chick, still saying there’s nothing between them, do you believe that?"
