Chapter 330: Chapter 330 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 30_1

Wang Nan had never imagined that Fan Xiaofei would leave the farm so early, although Zhao Aoran and Huang Nan returning to work in the city was something she could foresee.

But with no social connections left at home, merely depending on the struggling Fan Family supported by him and his mother, how could there still be a connection that allowed him to return to the city?

The more Wang Nan thought about it, the more she felt there must be a problem. Could it be that the Fan Family was making a comeback?

This was also what she had been longing for; otherwise, she would have run away long ago when the Fan Family fell from grace.

The more Wang Nan thought about it, the angrier she got. If it weren’t for Fan Xiaofei, why would she endure the hardships here?

She could have followed in her mother’s footsteps and become a factory worker by now. And yet, here she was, Fan Xiaofei just packed up and left, going back to the city to be their young master, without even mentioning her.

How could Wang Nan accept this? Absolutely not, she must find Fan Xiaofei and demand an explanation.

When Zhao Aoran learned that Fan Xiaofei was going back to the city, he was stunned too. He was not aware, just like Wang Nan and others, that after the disaster the Fan Family faced, there was little chance for a turnaround.

Otherwise, why did none of the relatives and old acquaintances come forward to help after the Fan Family’s catastrophe? It was because they knew there was no chance for a comeback.

How could Fan Xiaofei possibly have the opportunity to return to the city? Zhao Aoran was also very puzzled.

Even with many doubts, he wouldn’t go asking about it. If someone could return to the city, it was due to their own capabilities.

Fan Xiaofei, watching Zhao Aoran still working, let out a soft sigh. He had been hoping to return to the city as soon as possible; he really had had enough of life here.

But after the news was confirmed, he actually felt a bit lost, knowing all too well that the path ahead would not be easy.

But what else could he do except clench his teeth and keep moving forward?

He had no chance or status to call a halt unless the other side initiated it, but that was impossible, including the Fan Family not giving him such an opportunity.

"Zhao Aoran, don’t you want to ask why I can go back to the city?" Fan Xiaofei knew that once the news of his return spread, Zhao Aoran would definitely suspect there was a problem.

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Zhao Aoran emptied the contents of the dung bucket and then sat down to rest for a while.

Even though he was accustomed to this kind of workload, why not rest if he could.

"You can return to the city, that’s your ability. As for how you go back, I don’t care."

"It’s your life, and since you have made a decision, then move forward."

Seeing the resentful Fan Xiaofei, Zhao Aoran could tell that this return to the city involved many sacrifices for Xiaofei, and he deemed it a great humiliation.

After learning this, Zhao Aoran’s mood improved a lot. He actually did not want Fan Xiaofei’s life to get any better.

The better that guy’s life was, the more it highlighted how miserable his own life was.

Fan Xiaofei, looking at the indifferent Zhao Aoran, originally did not want to say anything, but at that moment, he suddenly felt a strong urge to speak.

Fan Xiaofei calmly explained the reason he could go back to the city, his tone steady.

Just like what Zhao Aoran had just said, since a choice had been made, one could only face it calmly and continue on.

Zhao Aoran hadn’t expected Fan Xiaofei to hook up with that person. His mouth fell open in shock, "Are you insane?"

"Why would you get involved with her? Their whole family is crazy." Zhao Aoran didn’t have a lot of interactions with them, but he knew that once they went mad, it was impossible to apply common sense to their actions.

"I wish I could choose someone else, but other than them, no one would help us."

"Really, not a single person. I know my father’s ways weren’t good, and he offended many people."

"But didn’t he ever help anyone?"

"Now that he’s in trouble, there are many who kick him when he’s down, but few who lend a hand."

"My mom is now taking care of my younger brother and sister, and life is tough. Although there’s a salary from the farm, it’s really not enough."

"Then all I can do is wish you well." He had already made his decision, so what was the point in trying to persuade him now?

"I’ll head back to the city first, and we’ll talk about everything later," Zhao Aoran could only express dryly.

Fan Xiaofei hummed in agreement, "Have you ever thought about returning to the city?" He always felt that Zhao Aoran, who had been a favorite of the older Zhaos, wouldn’t just give up on the Zhao Family like that.

"Picking up manure here is pretty good," he joked.

"The last time I went back, I quarreled with my family. They said I was being unreasonable, and my cousins, they don’t want me to go back either."

"If that’s the case, why should I go back?"

"It’s much better here." At home, everyone was fighting over that position, scheming and setting traps for each other.

If he didn’t return and just stayed here picking up manure, those people would actually feel more at ease and wouldn’t target him.

Once he returned to the city, even if he was a nobody, they would not be at ease, never knowing when they might take action.

Fan Xiaofei actually really hoped that Zhao Aoran would go back and fight for the position of the Zhao Family heir; his life would be much easier then.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Aoran, that useless guy, was just too cowardly to go back.

Then again, if Zhao Aoran were smart, how would he have become friends with him in the first place? He chose friends to highlight his own intelligence and all his good qualities.

In time, with his help, Zhao Aoran becoming the head of the Zhao Family would be the greatest support for the Fan Family.

But now that the Fan Family had fallen, who would be the Zhao Family’s heir was still up in the air, and the only thing certain was that it wouldn’t be Zhao Aoran.

"If my family hadn’t run into trouble, you probably wouldn’t be in this position either," Fan Xiaofei felt that the Zhao Family’s readiness to give up on Zhao Aoran probably had something to do with the Fan Family’s misfortune.

Considering this possibility, Zhao Aoran had thought about it too, "It’s useless to think about it now."

"Things are as they are now; we should look forward," he mused. Why dwell on what-ifs? Zhao Aoran also knew this was part of the reason.

"Well, after you leave, who knows who will come over. It’s unlikely anyone will stay long; they’ll probably rotate."

"In any case, I’ll be busy," Zhao Aoran sighed deeply, "Forget it, I don’t want to think anymore. Thinking too much really tires me out."

"I won’t see you off on the day you leave."

"And on your wedding day, I won’t be attending either. The travel costs are expensive, and her family will invite the Zhaos."

Since the resources of the Zhao Family had nothing to do with him, it was best not to show up in front of them, making himself a nuisance and increasing their troubles.

Fan Xiaofei remembered their agreement back in their school days, "I was actually looking forward to having you as my best man."

"I’m not suitable," Zhao Aoran knew that even if Fan Xiaofei remembered, the other party would not agree.

More importantly, Fan Xiaofei’s invitation was not sincere. Their friendship had been based on mutual benefit to begin with, so it was only natural for things to turn out this way now.

Fan Xiaofei had thought he would have a lot to say to Zhao Aoran, but sitting there facing each other, they both found they had nothing to say.

Just as Fan Xiaofei was about to leave first, Zhao Aoran stood up, "Fan Xiaofei, I wish you happiness."

Hopefully, he would do well under that shrewish wife, even though the chances were slim, one must still hope.
