Chapter 583: Chapter 583: Encountering Wang Zhao

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Shen Mianmian smiled, squinting her eyes and keenly noticed that a smile also flickered in the depths of Li Julin’s eyes.

She chatted with Xiu Min for a while, and when Xiu Min invited her to stay for dinner, Shen Mianmian declined, citing that she still had to stop by the store.

Xiu Min didn’t insist and walked her to the door, "Mianmian, your Uncle Li doesn’t actually blame you. He was worried because you didn’t come today. He’s just like that, his way of expressing himself is different from others."

"Auntie Xiu, I know Uncle Li is worried about me. I was indeed delayed by something today and didn’t inform you ahead of time. It was inconsiderate of me."

Although not related by blood to Li Julin, Shen Mianmian knew him quite well. In her past life, when she first started taking care of Li Julin without understanding his temperament, she faced several setbacks. But once she got to know him, he treated her like a daughter.

Hearing Shen Mianmian’s response, Xiu Min grew even fonder of her. The girl was so sensible; not only did she understand her and her husband’s concerns, but she also didn’t try to justify herself excessively from beginning to end.

Even though Shen Mianmian didn’t specify what had delayed her, it must have been something urgent. Considering she still remembered to let them know afterward, it showed that she was already very thoughtful.

The average adult wouldn’t think that far.

Take Wan Dongcheng, for example! If he had been half as considerate as Mianmian, his father might not still be refusing to accept him.

Xiu Min sighed to herself and smiled at Shen Mianmian, "It’s getting late; you should hurry to the store. Get some rest early tonight; you’ve got dark circles under your eyes."

"Okay, Auntie Xiu, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Xiu Min, Shen Mianmian didn’t hail a taxi. Instead, she walked directly to the store. It wasn’t too far from where she was; a twenty-minute walk at most.

Halfway there, as she prepared to cross the street, a bicycle suddenly stopped behind her. She didn’t pay attention at first until a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

"Teacher Wan, you must be quite tired from pedaling all this way, and probably hungry too, right? Let me treat you to a bowl of noodles?"

Turning her head, Shen Mianmian saw Wan Dongcheng pushing a bicycle with Zhao Xinlan standing beside him, her backpack hanging on the handlebar.

"Noodles? There doesn’t seem to be any good noodle shops around here..."

Wan Dongcheng sounded hesitant and stopped mid-sentence when he suddenly saw Shen Mianmian in front of them. His eyes met hers, and he was taken aback.

"Teacher Wan, why did you stop talking... Shen Mianmian?"

Zhao Xinlan also noticed Shen Mianmian, and the smile on her face instantly changed. Fate truly makes enemies meet; she could run into this jinx wherever she went.

Seeing the two of them, Shen Mianmian wasn’t in a hurry to cross the street anymore. She stared at them leisurely and asked in surprise, "Brother-in-law, weren’t you going home to attend your cousin’s wedding? How come you’re with another girl?"

She appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly a storm raged in her heart.

In her past life, it was Wan Dongcheng who got involved with a female student. Zhao Xinlan attended the same school where Wan Dongcheng taught, and their relationship seemed so close. Could there really be so many coincidences in this world?

When many coincidences come together, they form an answer.

The mistress of Wan Dongcheng in the future was to be Zhao Xinlan, who, together with him, was involved in the death of Li Shiping. She had thought that Wan Dongcheng betrayed Li Shiping only after making his fortune, but now it seemed that it wasn’t wealth that changed him but his true nature; Li Shiping had found out too late.
