Today, Chen ngying was indeed utterly exhausted. Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
As for Xiaofan, he decided to make do on the sofa for the night. Tomorrow, he needed to handle the matters regarding that other house.
'Vroom vroom...' Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
"Hello?"
"Xiaofan, what are you doing?" A gentle voice ca from the other end of the line.
"Oh, Siyan. I was just about to sleep."
"What did you do today? You didn't call all day."
"Well, I was busy with sothing. Since it was so late, I didn't call you."
"Hey, be honest with , did you bully ng Ying?"
"? How could I..."
"So, were you or were you not with ng Ying today? And where are you now?"
"Yes, I was with her today. I just ca out of her room."
"Room? What were you doing in ng Ying's room in the middle of the night? You weren't..."
"Hey, hey... what are you saying? How do you know ng Ying was bullied?"
"I saw her posted sothing that seed off, so I called to ask. Her voice sounded like she was crying, and when I asked where you were, she said you went out. I couldn't sleep all night, you weren't replying to my ssages, so I had to call you."
Liu Siyan was quite concerned about this friend. Ever since Xiaofan and she broke up, Chen ngying had been encouraging her, offering emotional support. Now, seeing her friend unhappy, naturally, she couldn't ignore it.
"Ah, this is sothing I can't explain clearly in a short ti."
"So, did you or did you not bully her?"
"How could I bully the class president? Listen to yourself."
"Really? Xiaofan, I'm telling you honestly, ng Ying really likes you..."
"Hey, it's New Year's, not April Fool's, what are you joking about?"
"Don't tell you haven't noticed at all. I'm serious, not joking. So, don't keep doing things that hurt her," Liu Siyan said seriously.
Not noticed at all? That seems unrealistic. When it cos to feelings, Xiaofan did sense sothing, but each ti the feeling intensified, he intentionally avoided it.
"Don't worry, the class president isn't crying because of ."
This ti, Xiaofan probably got it wrong... Chen ngying was indeed crying because of Xiaofan. Just this evening, after Mrs. Chen discovered Chen ngying's deep secret, Liu Siyan happened to call.
However, Xiaofan didn't know the truth, so he mistakenly thought Chen ngying was upset and crying over her bastard father.
"Then what was it really about?"
"Her father ca back."
"Her father? ng Ying's father? But ng Ying told he already..."
"That's the thing. Her father ca back to sell their house..."
"Sell it? Why?"
"See, I told you, it's a long story. Explaining it to you would take till sunrise. I have things to do tomorrow morning. How about you get so sleep first?" Xiaofan said with a light chuckle.
"Ah, I don't want to, I really want to know."
"Relax, I won't let the class president get bullied. Sleep well, I'll call you after handling things tomorrow."
"I guess that's the only way. Then I'll sleep, goodnight..."
"Goodnight... a kiss first..."
"You're annoying, mmm, muah... sleeping."
With a new house and a new environnt, how could Mrs. Chen sleep peacefully? In the middle of the night, when she got up to drink water, she was stunned to find Xiaofan sleeping on the sofa.
On such a cold day, without even a blanket...
Actually, they didn't have an extra blanket at ho. Before ng Ying ca back, Mrs. Chen had only washed and dried ng Ying's blanket in preparation for her return.
Perhaps what ng Ying told her before wasn't withheld at all. He really didn't know the details of that matter. Her daughter had grown up, she had her own thoughts. Since she intended to hide it, it shouldn't be revealed by her own mouth.
Oh well, Xiaofan is not a bad kid; at least, he's been helping this family. Let the young ones handle it themselves.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Chen got up to go out and buy groceries to make breakfast for the two kids.
Unexpectedly, the sofa in the living room was already empty, and there was freshly cooked, steaming hot breakfast on the table. Just then, Chen ngying ca out and saw her puzzled mother: "Mom, you're up so early to make breakfast? Where's Xiaofan?"
"He made it, I guess he went out to take care of things."
"Oh... I'll brush my teeth first..."
"ng Ying..."
"Yeah?"
"It's nothing, brush your teeth and wash up, eat breakfast."
If she could, she really wanted to persuade her daughter to tell Xiaofan the truth. If they could have such a good son-in-law in the family, they could live peacefully in the future. A family does need a man to support it, right?
But when the words reached her lips, Mrs. Chen swallowed them back. She understood her daughter and should respect her choice.
The sky had completely brightened up.
At nine in the morning, Chen Xinglong ca by again to what was supposedly his ho. As expected, the place was empty, which made him very happy. If the mother and daughter hadn't moved out by today, Chen Xinglong would definitely have hired so thugs to force them out.
Now, it saved him a lot of trouble.
An hour later, at ten in the morning, Chen Xinglong's mistress brought so so-called prospective buyers to the front of the house.
In fact, these people looking at the house were arranged by the casino. The purpose is simple: while the gambling debts need to be collected, they still want to squeeze so money from Chen Xinglong.
These people would do anything for money, and there were many victims like Chen Xinglong. Having just lost over ten million, they must speed up to recoup their money.
"Hey, look, this house, even though it was built twenty years ago, has a great location. Also, look at this balcony, the air is good here. There's a market nearby too, living here would be very convenient," Chen Xinglong said with a smile as the prospective buyers approached.
This guy's head must be ssed up. Even if soone wanted to buy a house, they wouldn't find it on such short notice, right?
"Yes, the location is good, but if you plan to move in, the entire place needs renovation. It will cost a lot of money," one of the won looking at the house said flatly.
"Well, buying a house in H City now costs at least half a million per unit, right? And that's in a remote area. If it's closer to the city center, it's at least eight hundred thousand, even over a million," Chen Xinglong quickly explained.
