Chapter 196

  The Gu family's days are getting more and more prosperous, this is something that everyone knows. The people at this table, although they envy, there are some things that can't be envied.

  Huang Zhenzhen was just as miserable as her sister, the better off Gu Anan was, the more she suffered. She even imagined that if her sister had married into the Gu family and become Gu Anan's stepmother, it might have been her who was now being envied by everyone.

  And Gu Anan's clothes on her body might also have them.

  Some things can't be thought about, jealousy is like a seed that takes root in the heart and grows, the more you think about it, the more unbearable it becomes.

  With a sudden movement, Huang Zhenzhen stood up from her seat, slammed down her chopsticks and said viciously, "I'm not eating anymore." After that, she didn't care about anyone's reaction, turned around and left.

  He Dali saw this scene, her face looked a bit unsightly. In the past, she doted on her little daughter, who was obedient and sensible, earning her full praise and admiration from outsiders. But now everything has changed. Nowadays, those old sisters, as soon as they mention their own daughters, they all shake their heads in disgust.

  Huang Zhenzhen is not young this year, and at the latest next year she will have to get married. If things go on like this, her reputation in this regard will be completely ruined. Not to mention the future, Huang Zhenzhen's reputation has already been ruined. She has a vicious heart and a violent temper, which is not the standard of a good daughter-in-law.

  Huang Zhenzhen was getting older day by day, but no matchmaker came to propose marriage, and He Dali was anxious to death.

  Now, at Gu's family dinner table, with so many people watching, their own daughter got angry and slapped her face. It's as if she thought this was her own home! You could say that Huang Zhenzhen's slap in the face ruined all the good things He Dali had said about her outside for several months.

  He Dali sighed before she even finished speaking!

  The young lady of the house also got angry, Huang Yaqin roughly pulled Xiao Lingdang and scolded, "Eat, eat, eat! All day long, all you know is eating, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

  Xiao Ling was scolded and her body shook violently. She quickly grabbed a piece of dried tofu and stuffed it into her mouth, but her pace didn't slow down as she closely followed Huang Yaqin's back. When they passed by Dongdong and Jiangjiang, she couldn't help but glance at them with envy. The two little brothers were wearing the most handsome clothes, clean from head to toe, without a single scratch. Xiao Ling felt a bit inferior for some reason, hung her head low, and hastily chased after Huang Yaqin.

  Dongdong and Jiangjiang naturally saw the little bell, but both of them pretended they hadn't seen it. Some things are destined from the start.

  He Dali saw that both girls had left, and she also lost face to stay, so she hastily ate two mouthfuls of rice and followed them out of the dining table.

  After they left, the atmosphere at the table relaxed a lot and everyone let out a sigh of relief. They continued to eat and drink as usual. If it were someone else who got up and left midway, Anan, being the host, would have definitely seen them off. But with He Dali's family, Anan really didn't have a good feeling about them.

  Although she was standing aside and talking to Lu Yan, Huang Zhenzhen's piercing gaze made her feel uncomfortable. Anan suddenly smiled and said, "Yan-ge, someone is unhappy when they see me doing well."

  Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, and with his perceptual ability, he naturally didn't miss the malicious intentions of Huang Zhenzhen and her sister. He smiled meaningfully, "Excellent people will always be envied by others." This was a truth that Lu Yan had understood since childhood.

  An An almost thought that Lu Yan was a time-traveler, after all, such classic words, aren't they often spoken by people from later generations?

  I didn't expect to hear this from Lu Yan, a local.

  An An gave a thumbs up, "Yuan Ge, your idea is really ahead of its time."

  Lu Yan's eyes sparkled with a hint of a smile, and he whispered, "Each other! Each other!" In his eyes, An An was the one who had advanced ideas, every idea made him amazed. He paused for a moment, raised his hand to look at his watch, and said firmly, "They're coming soon."

  An's expression suddenly became tense, and she followed Lu Yan's gaze to look over there.

  As expected, Ding Xiaoxiao arrived, still in a grand manner, unlike the last time when her clothes were revealing. This time, she was wearing relatively normal clothes and even carrying big and small bags, apparently to congratulate Grandma on her birthday.

  An'an and Lu Yan exchanged a glance, unsure what kind of tricks Ding Xiao was up to.

  Ding Xiaoxiao walked up to An An and deliberately waved what was in her hand, "I've come to see Grandma!"

  An An was calm and gentle, "Auntie is inside the house!", Ding Xiao Xiao was Auntie's own granddaughter, An An wouldn't stop her from visiting Auntie, but... since she had come, it wasn't that easy for her to leave either.

  Ding Xiaoxiao stomped her foot, she was not only dressed up beautifully today, but also brought the best gifts. Didn't Gu An'an see that? She deliberately opened the bag and showed off, "Gu An'an! I bought a beautiful set of clothes for Grandma, as well as her favorite peach crisp cookies. Of course, these aren't anything expensive." After a pause, she took out a watch from the bag and held it up proudly, "This is a Shanghai-brand watch, you've never seen one before, have you?"

  "If you can come out with me alone and apologize, I'll give you a watch."

  The people around who were eating their rice bowls all gasped in unison, they weren't unfamiliar with the goods either. Nowadays, a watch can cost over a hundred yuan! Not to mention that Ding Xiaoxiao was holding a Shanghai-brand watch, which is said to be rarely sold in Taishan County and hard to come by.

  It seems that Ding Xiaoxiao has really turned over a new leaf. Such precious items, she says to take them out and give them away, then gives them away.

  For convenience, An'an didn't wear a skirt today, but wore a white shirt and pants. Her top had long sleeves, which slightly exposed the corner of her sleeve, just a little bit, revealing the latest Shanghai brand watch on her wrist. She casually asked, "The one on my hand is the latest model released by Shanghai last month, what's yours?"

  This watch was also given to her by Lu Yan. To be honest, last time Lu Yan followed her to Shanghai, Brother Yan gave her many things. Of course! Anan didn't just receive them for nothing, she would also give Lu Yan some things at the right time. In this regard, Anan has always been very clear-headed. Love requires the management of both parties, not one person's desperate efforts.

  Ding Xiaoxiao naturally saw the Shanghai-brand watch on An An's wrist and immediately said, "That's a fake, right? I heard it sells for over 300 yuan, how could you possibly afford it?"

  She had seen this watch on Fan Liu's hand before, but it was a men's style. Someone like Fan Liu, who had long since found his own way to make money, even if it was ill-gotten gains, but ill-gotten gains come quickly!

  In terms of food, clothing and housing, it is naturally not bad.

  Ding Xiaoxiao, as Fan Liu's woman, has seen her fair share of good things. When she first came back, she said that her living expenses were 100 yuan per month, which was not a lie!

  That was Fan Liu's gift to her, or rather, it was earned by her body.

  Ding Xiaoxiao had been following Fan Liuke for many years, although she was not clever, but she could bear the shame, no matter how Fan Liuke bullied her, so many women, only she persisted, otherwise she would not have worn that kind of clothes to go out, in this regard, Ding Xiaoxiao had long since tempered a heart that was immune to all poisons.

  She doesn't care about other people's opinions; if she did, she wouldn't be able to eat this bowl of rice.

  An An heard Ding Xiao's words and wasn't annoyed. She smiled, "Yan Ge, someone is questioning whether the watch you gave me is fake!"

  Lu Yan listened and touched his pocket. The watch's [something] was still inside! He handed it out, "Take a look?"

  Ding Xiaoxiao saw the amount on the □□, her body stiffened, "Impossible!", Fan Liu's watch was treasured by him, how did it end up with Gu Anan, and he said it was a gift.

  An An chuckled, "Nothing is impossible!", paused for a moment, and urged, "Aren't you going to see Grandma? Grandma is still waiting for you inside!"

  As soon as she said this, Ding Xiaoxiao suddenly came back to her senses and fortunately didn't forget the task she had come for.

  She made a gesture of affection, wanting to hold Anan's arm, but was dodged by Anan. Ding Xiaoxiao didn't feel embarrassed, she twitched her eyebrow and said, "Let's go! We'll go in together, the old man likes it when all his descendants are gathered."

  An An and Lu Yan exchanged a glance, "Alright! I'll go in with you." As soon as she agreed, Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang immediately became disobedient, saying in unison, "We want to go in too!"

  Ding Xiaoxiao didn't want too many people to go in, but this wasn't her territory, so she could only reluctantly lead the way. An An saw everything and didn't expose her, instead cooperating very well.

  After entering the house, Grandma sat in the main seat of the hall. Seeing Xiao Xiao coming, a complex spark flashed in her dim eyes, and her attitude was not as enthusiastic as usual. "Xiao Xiao, you're here!"

  Xiao Xiao naturally sensed that Grandma's attitude towards her was different, but she didn't mind. She warmly placed all the things on the table, one by one, and unwrapped them. "Grandma! It's my fault, last time I said I would buy you sugar, but then I met a friend and followed them, and I forgot about buying sugar. Here! Your granddaughter has come to make amends. Do you like the clothes your granddaughter bought for you?" She kept calling herself "granddaughter", reminding Grandma that she was her real granddaughter, not An An, the imposter.

  Grandma looked at Xiao Xiao taking off her clothes and placing them in front of her, gesturing with a few kind smiles on her face. "Xiao Xiao, what's that friend of yours? Bring it back for Grandma to see another day, and Grandma will give you a thumbs up."

  As soon as she heard that her friend was coming back, Xiao's face stiffened for a moment. Grandma acted as if she hadn't seen anything and touched her clothes, saying "You're not young anymore, it's time to find a partner."

  Ding Xiaoxiao will never be able to bring Fan Liu back in this lifetime, because she is just one of the many women in Fan Liu's life.

  "Grandma! Xiao wants to spend a few more years with you!", she said, and then brought out the peach pastry as well. "Grandma! Try some of this, it's from Lao Fu Ji, I remember how much you used to love their pastries!"

  Grandma saw the peach crisp and her eyes flashed with tears, her lips also trembled slightly, for a moment she softened, expecting, "Xiao Xiao, you're not leaving this time, are you?"

  "Let's not go!", Xiao Xiao's whole body stiffened, she put the clothes on Grandma, found them to be a bit big, and shouted loudly, "Grandma! I know there is a tailor shop with very good tailoring skills, I'll take you there to have a tailor make a set of fitting clothes for you, how about that?"

  The glint of tears in Grandma's eyes was only for an instant, but An'an still saw it. She knew that Grandma would feel uncomfortable about this and also knew that Grandma was giving Xiao Xiao a chance to confess, but Xiao Xiao not only didn't confess, but instead followed the plan to lure Grandma out.

  "Alright! I'll go with you to see the tailor," Grandma said, though a hint of disappointment had flashed across her eyes. The words "tailor" were spoken with particular emphasis by Grandma, but Ding Xiaoxiao was too caught up in her excitement at Grandma's agreement to notice anything out of the ordinary.

  An An gently touched Dong Dong and Jiang Jiang's faces, instructing, "Go tell Mom that Xiao Xiao is taking Grandma out." Her voice was just loud enough for Xiao Xiao to hear. As soon as Xiao Xiao heard it, she suddenly became furious, "What's the point of telling my mom? Don't say anything!"

  An An dusted off the nonexistent dust on his sleeve, his tone calm and collected. "Today's Ah Nai is a lucky star!", he paused for a moment, "A lucky star going out, letting the elders know, isn't excessive."

  This reason left Ding Xiaoxiao speechless, she rolled her eyes and said, "If you're not at ease, then come with me! You can watch Grandma, or you can watch me." As soon as Ding Xiaoxiao finished speaking, her heart started racing wildly, so nervous that she was afraid An An would notice something off about her. Her main task this time was to take Grandma away, and if Grandma left, Gu Anan would definitely come back.

  An'an didn't speak, as if considering the feasibility of Ding Xiaoxiao's words. After a while, she replied, "Okay, I'll go!"

  Ding Xiaoxiao didn't expect An'an to agree so easily, and her eyes sparkled with intense surprise, "Really? You're not kidding me?"

  "An an si xiao fei xiao", "pian ni wo you shen me hao chu?"

  Translation:

  "Smiling but not smiling, what's the benefit of cheating you?"

  An's eyes were very clear, as if they could see through all the dark things under the sky. Ding Xiao had a momentary illusion that An understood her intention. She shook her head, this matter was known only to them, she dared to confirm that An didn't know, and it was even more impossible for him to hear their conversation.

  She steadied herself and explained, "You don't seem like a good person!", yet he would so easily agree to her good person.

  An'an let out a snort of laughter and didn't say anything. Who doesn't look like a good person? It's clear in everyone's eyes.

  But unexpectedly, Grandma suddenly grabbed An's hand and shook her head, "An, don't go, there are so many guests at home, you stay and help." Grandma obviously knew that going with Ding Xiaoxiao was dangerous, but she still agreed to come.

  An'an squatted down, looked straight into Grandma's eyes, and said seriously, "I'll accompany you!" This time, she took the opportunity to bring up Ding Xiaoxiao while preparing for Grandma's birthday, which was her plan.

  She is responsible for Grandma's safety and cannot let Grandma go alone. 166.com
