Chapter 3 Auntie

Xiang Lianyi pedaled her bike very fast through the familiar streets. The closer she gets, the more timid she becomes.

Is Xi Mufeng home?

Does he remember her?

Had he been reborn with the same memories as her?

Even when she stopped at the door of the Xi family, she still couldn't control her heartbeat.

She raised her eyes to stare deeply at the door of the Xi family.

Perhaps nothing could erase the traces left in her heart by Xi Mufeng.

And Xi Mufeng was the only soft spot in her heart that she couldn't speak of or touch!

Behind her suddenly sounded the voice she knew so well in her heart, "Who are you?"

She slowly turned back and saw Xi Mufeng under the sun. Even sixteen years ago, he was handsome enough to make people jealous. She suddenly seemed to have lost the ability to speak.

She could only stare at him dumbly.

"I'm asking you, who are you?" At eighteen years old, the boy's tone was arrogant and impatient.

"I... I was just passing by." Xiang Lianyi wince and said hurriedly. She turned around and rode off without daring to look back.

Leaving Xi Mufeng standing where he was, staring at her back.

Inside the gate, a figure appeared.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Auntie Zhang, the maid, heard the commotion outside and came out to take a look.

"It's nothing." Xi Mufeng withdrew his gaze from looking at Xiang Lianyi. For some reason, he felt that she was familiar to him.

When Xiang Lianyi returned home, her father heard her and whispered, "Go back to your room quietly. Your mom is angry."

"Is that Lianyi I hear?"

Unfortunately, before Xiang Lianyi could return to her room, her mother found her.

"What have you been doing all this morning with all this nonsense? Didn't I tell you to take your father to the market?"

Qin Zhu had her hands on her waist in exasperation, but Xiang Lianyi pulled her into a hug. "Mom, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that the dog next door died. I just want to go check on him, don't get mad at me. I'll take dad to the market now, okay?"

Xiang Lianyi fully demonstrated that a sweet woman is the hardest to stay angry at.

As expected, Qin Zhu's expressed eased. "You're a senior in high school now, but you're still so fidgety. Hurry up and take your father with you, and come back for lunch later!"

"Alright, Dad, let's go, I'll take you to the market." Xiang Lianyi took her dad's arm and left happily.

Her father shook his head helplessly and smiled.

He felt that his eyes were getting worse lately, but he didn't dare to say that the family was already struggling.

Now that they were relying on Qin Zhu to sew and mend for others and occasionally do some work to support the family, how could he make her stress worse?

It is what it is. At least, he wasn't at the point where he couldn't see anything!

Xiang Lianyi didn't notice her father's odd expression, still immersed in her own joy.

On the way back with her father, Xiang Lianyi couldn't help but fall into memories.

It seems like the cold young man of her memories did not come back with his memories.

It was fine. She would love him instead in this life.

All the things she would endure would be for him!

Xiang Lianyi's thoughts were interrupted by loud voices.

"Oh, Gu Yujiao, your color TV must be expensive! It's so big! How much is this going to cost?"

The woman called Gu Yujiao glanced at Xiang Lianyi and her father, who were not far away, and seemed to speak a little louder.

"Of course that's true, it's imported! It's that Japanese-made brand, called Sharp or something, I forget, but we can't buy it here. It's almost 2,000 yuan." After she finished speaking, she looked proudly at Xiang Lianyi and her father.

Xiang Lianyi lowered her head and laughed sarcastically, this woman is her auntie, but only in name. So why is that?

It's because she and her mother are step-sisters, children brought over by her grandfather's second wife.

She was very narrow-minded and liked to step on people who are already down on their luck. She wants to beat Qin Zhu on everything. Last life, she had done a lot of things to undermine her family.

"Oh, Gu Yujiao, did your family win the lottery? You don't even feel bad when you buy such a good colored TV?"

"Where would I buy such a good colored TV? It's my Wenli, her boyfriend's family is rich and loves her, he had to give it to us." Gu Yujiao's grin was so wide the corners of her lips were touching her ears.

Xiang Lianyi snickered in her heart. Right, she remembered that, in her last life, her good cousin had also found a rich boyfriend at this point.

It was actually still Zhao Zifeng's brother, Zhao Zijian!

The thought of Wu Wenli and Zhao Zifeng's adulterous affair in her previous life made her want to vomit!

This cousin of hers is really unscrupulous! She slept with both brothers!

Unfortunately, Zhao Zijian already has a family. In a few days, his wife would bring someone to her door, and that colored TV Gu Yujiao had been showing off for half a day would soon be broken.

And Wu Wenli is even dragged and pressed to the ground and beaten. From then on, her reputation was soured and no nice family still wants her.

She had even comforted Wu Wenli for a long time then.

And now, she only wished that this day would come sooner!

She sneered and brought her father with her, ready to enter the house.

However, Gu Yujiao had already seen her and said in a sharp tone, "Lianyi, what are you laughing at? You're young, but you should know how to greet your elders when you see them."

"Auntie." Xiang Lianyi was unwilling to talk to her, but she wasn't so foolish as to be labeled as disrespectful to her elders in front of the eyes of her neighbors.

"I was just thinking about the test questions and didn't hear you for a moment. I'm really sorry."

Gu Yujiao's expression became even more sour at the news. So all that showing off she's been doing, the little brat didn't hear her at all! Looks just like her mother, with her vixen face!
