520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

living room.

Everyone inside was wearing thin sweaters and hoodies.

It looks warm inside.

In front of the bitter and vengeful Gu Shaoyu, there was an elegant middle-aged man with facial features very similar to Lin Yunchu, who should be Lin Yunchu's father. He was calm and composed, took a sip of tea, and waited for Gu Shaoyu's next move. He seemed calm and patient, but there was a hint of complacency in his expression.

Next to them were Lin Yunchu and, presumably, her mother. The two of them were sitting in front of the TV, cross-legged, eating snacks, watching the palace fighting drama on TV, and having a heated discussion.

An An and Le Le were beside them, sleeping peacefully and leisurely.

Not far away, Gu Lingyan and Song Renan were wearing aprons and busy in the kitchen?

In short, everyone has their own duties and everyone has their own excitement.

Xiang Huanian felt that he couldn't fit in for some unknown reason.

She stepped back and closed the door gently without disturbing anyone.

next second.

Inside the house, in the kitchen.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly looking towards the door? Are there any guests today?"

Song Renan, who was peeling garlic, handed the peeled garlic to Gu Lingyan, but found that Gu Lingyan's hands stopped moving.

Out of curiosity, he followed Gu Lingyan's gaze and turned to look outside, but he only saw an empty lawn and a gate that was shaking slightly in the wind.

"...No, it must be an illusion."

Just now, at the moment when Xiang Huanian closed the door, Gu Lingyan, who seemed to have sensed something, raised his head and looked towards the door, but he was still a little short of it.

The fate of timing is very wonderful. One minute more or one second less will not make a difference.

It is miraculous, yet demanding.

That's why, when something happens unexpectedly but firmly, it makes people... unable to stop.

When the villa area was first designed, two factors, fire prevention and wealth creation, were taken into consideration.

So, there is a wide river nearby.

The riverside is always damp and cold, with the fishy smell of river water and a cold wind that is even colder than that on the road, blowing towards the only pedestrian at this time of year - Xiang Huanian.

Xiang Huanian walked to the river, as if he was completely unaware of the biting cold wind. He even sat on the cold bench by the river, letting the winter wind blowing from all directions mess up his clothes and hair.

In my mind, I actually know that if I stay in such an environment for a long time, I will definitely get sick.

She was also very clear in her mind that she should find a warm place, stay there and wait for time to pass.

But at this moment, Xiang Huanian just wanted to wander around outside aimlessly.

She would go back after they all went to bed and when the lights in the villa were turned off and it was quiet at night.

Xiang Huanian couldn't describe how she felt when she saw the lively scene in the Lin family villa just now.

possible……

"Swoosh! Boom! Crash!"

In the distance, the crackling sound of fireworks and firecrackers from the New Year’s Eve dinner resounded in the sky.

It was obviously the most lively noise, but to Xiang Huanian, it sounded a bit noisy, and a little bit desolate and lonely.

"Home……"

Xiang Huanian sat in the cold wind, swinging his feet, bored, looking into the distance. In the dim sky of the day, he could only see a few colorful fireworks.

It seems like a whisper, and also like a hum.

Xiang Huanian sat there in a daze, not knowing how long had passed. When he felt his limbs and face were numb from the wind, Xiang Huanian's cell phone rang.

It is like a ray of light awakening the dormant consciousness, and also like a sound of heavenly music.

After loosening her stiff knuckles, Xiang Huanian anxiously turned on her cell phone, fearing that the ringtone would be cut off before she answered it.

but.

"what……"

Looking at the three big words "Chen Aifang" flashing on the phone screen, Xiang Huanian seemed to be able to feel the other party's anger from it.

Although he didn't know why the other party took so long to call to "hold him accountable", Xiang Huanian leaned lazily on the back of the bench, looking up at the sky where dusk had already fallen without him knowing when. He slowly raised his heavy hand, put the phone to his ear, and then answered the call.

"Hey……"

Due to the long period of cold, coupled with the strong wind that could silently carry away moisture, Xiang Huanian's voice inevitably became a little hoarse.

In fact, in electric current, some subtle changes in sound are amplified, and you can feel that something is wrong more clearly than usual.

But on the other side of the phone, Chen Aifang, who had dealt with all kinds of enthusiastic relatives and withdrawn from the bustling center circle and finally got some peace and quiet, immediately thought of the fact that she had not yet taught Xiang Huanian a lesson as a mother because of Xiang Huanian's irresponsible and impolite behavior and ran away during the day.

Before she had time to drink a sip of water, she immediately called Xiang Huanian.

Before the call was connected, Chen Aifang probably knew that the lesson she was going to teach Xiang Huanian could not be heard by others.

So she found a street lamp a little further away and stood under it.

At this distance, others could not hear her voice, nor could they judge the established fact that her daughter had failed in her blind date and had escaped at the last minute based on Xiang Huanian's reply on the phone... Although she could piece together some of what had happened from other aspects, Chen Aifang did not want to let go of this fig leaf that maintained her dignity at the moment.

Therefore, no one in this world knew about Chen Aifang's unilateral scolding of Xiang Huanian except themselves.

"I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but why did you run away from your blind date this morning? How could you not even have the most basic manners... Do you know how humiliated I was when that blind date came back alone and complained about me in front of all the relatives? If Dejie hadn't been here, I wouldn't even bother to say anything to you..."

"...I've never asked anything of you since you were little. Can't you just be content and live a normal life?...Look at yourself. How old are you this year? You don't even have a partner. In two years, you'll be old and no one will want you. What will you do then? Will you live off your parents? Our pension is so little, it can't even support you. You can't just live off Dejie's money, can you?"

"...The person we're introducing you to now must have been well-researched, and their family is well-off... Relationships can be cultivated over time... That's all I expect of you... I'll be relieved when you get married..."

Chen Aifang vented her personal thoughts to Xiang Huanian in a barrage of words.
