Chapter 497: Chapter 496: Who is this woman? (2 more)

The old lady had a terribly fiery temper, and she feared that once she got there, she wouldn’t be able to control herself and would start by giving someone a beating first.

That son-in-law, Du Zhiwen, was different from the rest of the family; he was a teacher, never too cunning or crafty.

He wouldn’t casually curse and forget about it later, so the old lady wanted Xu Niannian to go over and check the situation.

The old lady wasn’t really at ease entrusting this to anyone except for Xu Niannian, who was reliable in her work; the rest of the family were all careless.

Xu Niannian was entrusted with this important task, but in fact, she had already planned to visit before.

Especially this time, when her little brother was getting married and this Little Uncle wouldn’t even show his face, Xu Niannian had already started to feel resentful.

Jin Yu was driving, and Xu Niannian, following her past memories, led him to Xu Sanya’s home.

This was the only five-story building in town, a teachers’ housing complex.

It was already quite old.

Jin Yu parked the car on the roadside, drawing the attention of quite a few onlookers.

Both Jin Yu and Xu Niannian had grown accustomed to this.

The car was the new one that Xu Zhiqiang had just bought.

Before coming, Xu Niannian and Jin Yu had deliberately bought several bags of fruit from the place that sold fruit in the town center.

Xu Niannian actually wasn’t familiar with this place at all, even in the original owner’s memory, she seldom visited Xu Sanya’s home.

So, the two of them asked for directions along the way before they found Xu Sanya’s home.

Xu Sanya’s home was on the fifth floor.

Jin Yu couldn’t bear to see her climb so high, so when no one was around, he simply picked her up and ran up the stairs to the fifth floor without even running out of breath.

Xu Niannian, holding the bags of fruit, smiled and gave him a kiss on the face, "Not bad."

Jin Yu casually replied, "Give me another one."

Xu Niannian rolled her eyes at him, not amused, and looked at the rusty iron door in front of her before knocking.

She knocked several times, but no one came to open it.

"Is nobody home?" Xu Niannian asked.

Jin Yu had one arm around Xu Niannian’s waist and another slapping the door forcefully.

"Young Aunt, are you there?"

After several bangs, they finally heard footsteps approaching and an impatient voice, "Who is it?"

The door opened to reveal a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl wearing slippers.

Who was this person?

Xu Niannian almost thought they had gone to the wrong place.

The girl’s impatient expression instantly did a one-eighty upon seeing Jin Yu’s handsome face.

"Hello, may I ask who you’re looking for?" Her voice became several degrees gentler.

Her eyes were glued to Jin Yu, with a hint of shyness in them.

Xu Niannian’s mouth twitched. Was she being treated as invisible?

After the door was opened, Jin Yu didn’t even give the person in front of him a glance.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Xu Sanya’s home?" Xu Niannian asked politely just in case they had the wrong door.

Only then did the girl notice Xu Niannian.

When she saw Xu Niannian’s beautiful face, her expression momentarily changed to one of impatience.

"Yes, who are you?" the girl asked with exasperation.

"I’m her niece. May I know where she is right now?" As the girl was impatient, Xu Niannian’s voice also turned colder.

"You’re her niece?" The girl looked at Xu Niannian, seeming to size something up.

Thinking for less than a second, her impatience disappeared completely, faster than if it was an act in a play.

"Oh, it must be Niannian, right? Please come in and have a seat. I’ll get you a glass of water."

Before Xu Niannian could respond, the girl immediately turned and went back into the house, her slippers making a clacking sound as she went to pour water.

Something’s off.

This person is not right.

But with Jin Yu there, Xu Niannian was not afraid of these demons and spirits; she directly pulled Jin Yu and went in.

"Come, drink some water." The girl poured two glasses of water, one for Xu Niannian, the second for Jin Yu.

When handing it to Jin Yu, there was an obvious pause that lasted longer.

Jin Yu had already taken the cup, but she kept holding onto it.

Xu Niannian instantly narrowed her eyes. Was she trying to flirt with her husband right in front of her?

This person was clearly no good, and Xu Niannian couldn’t be bothered to continue being polite. She asked coldly, "This is my Young Aunt’s home. Who are you, and why are you staying here?"

"Ah, I forgot to tell you, look at my memory."

The girl smacked her own head in annoyance and smiled at Xu Niannian, saying, "Your Little Uncle is my cousin. My mom and I just came from Lin City a few days ago, and I’m planning to find a job here. Haven’t found one yet, so we’re temporarily living at my cousin’s place."

"Cousin?"

Xu Niannian pursed her lips, thinking that her grandmother’s concerns were not unfounded; she must have heard some rumors.

She didn’t remember any relatives in this Little Uncle’s family.

The old lady had agreed to Xu Sanya’s marriage to Du Zhiwen because his family didn’t have so many complicated relatives.

They only kept in touch with one older brother.

And now, suddenly, there was this relative.

"Where’s your mother?" Xu Niannian didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Perhaps because the question was so direct, the girl didn’t think much and simply said, "She’s gone to the hospital to take care of my cousin."

"My Young Aunt is also in the hospital, right?" Xu Niannian asked.

The girl nodded, her eyes showing disdain, which she tried hard to hide, but Xu Niannian and Jin Yu still noticed it.

"Yes, she’s there."

"Which hospital?" she asked.

"Hmm, it’s the biggest clinic in town. From here, just take a turn and you’ll be there."

After speaking, the girl hurriedly added a question, "I heard that the big factory in Qingshan Village is owned by your family, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Niannian sneered inwardly. She now understood why the girl, who had initially been impatient with her, changed her attitude so quickly after hearing she was Xu Sanya’s niece.

"Yes!"

Xu Niannian stated bluntly, "I also need to visit my Little Uncle, so I won’t disturb you any longer. Jin Yu, let’s go."

"Hey, wait a moment." The girl quickly stood up, "Let me take you there."

"No need." Xu Niannian flatly refused, not wanting to engage in any pretenses with her.

Just as Xu Niannian and Jin Yu were about to leave the room, a young girl with a backpack entered from outside.

This young girl was Xu Niannian’s cousin Weiwei, Xu Sanya’s daughter.

Weiwei was a middle school student; because they didn’t see each other often, Weiwei and Xu Niannian were not very close.

But the little girl did not treat Xu Niannian as a stranger.

Seeing Xu Niannian, Weiwei asked in surprise, "Sister Niannian, what brings you here?"

"I heard that Little Uncle is in the hospital, and my mom sent me to check on the situation."

"Weiwei, you’re back?" The girl who had served Xu Niannian and Jin Yu suddenly called out.

Weiwei gave her a glare and pulled Xu Niannian towards the house, "Sister Niannian, come to my room."

Seeing Weiwei’s clear resistance to the previous girl, Xu Niannian exchanged a glance with Jin Yu, changed her mind, and did not immediately head to the hospital,

but followed Weiwei into her room.

The girl still wanted to follow them in, but Weiwei turned back and snapped, "This is my room, don’t come in."
