Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 32_1

Zhao Aoran was washing clothes by the side and listened as Huang Lei complained, "Ever since he left, we’ve basically lost contact. But his life seems pretty tough."

If things were going well, he would definitely write letters to show off in all sorts of ways, yet it is precisely because his life is not flourishing that he has no means to boast arrogantly.

"There would be a problem if his life were going well," said Huang Lei as she put broth into the clay pot, then prepared the little green vegetables and mushrooms he once liked, setting them aside.

"But no matter how tough his life is, he’s still much better off than us, he, after all, is a city dweller."

"Maybe he can make a comeback," she thought. In her previous life, wasn’t it by using Zhao Aoran that the Fan Family made a comeback?

Of course, they had changed tracks, from the official path to the commercial world, but at least they had prevented the Fan Family from continuing to sink deeper.

At the very least, life improved for the Fan Family, it’s just that in this lifetime, even if Zhao Aoran were to rise again, he would not support Fan Xiaofei.

The thought of making a comeback made Zhao Aoran laugh to death at Huang Lei’s words, "Don’t worry. Unless Fan Xiaofei finds a stronger backer, in this life, he is destined to be inferior to others."

"His wife is not stupid, nor is her family. The moment Zhao Aoran finds an opportunity, it’ll be their turn for bad luck."

Their turn for bad luck? Huang Lei always felt there was something strange about this phrase, so she quickly rifled through the original host’s memories.

Well, it seems like the ending of Fan Xiaofei’s wife’s family was not all that good. Ostensibly, they clung to the wrong thigh and obstructed Zhao Aoran’s path. Zhao Aoran and Fan Xiaofei teamed up and directly wiped them out.

Could the so-called obstruction actually be due to some other reason? "Could it be that they also took action when the Fan Family had an incident?"

Otherwise, why would Zhao Aoran say such things? Huang Lei looked at Zhao Aoran, puzzled.

He had not expected that his inadvertent comment would alert her to a problem. He thought about how careful Huang Lei usually was with her words.

"I don’t admit to anything." These were all Huang Lei’s speculations, and in any case, they had nothing to do with him.

So it really was like that, huh? Huang Lei was truly stunned and looked at Zhao Aoran foolishly, "Does he know about it?"

"I didn’t know before whether he knew, but now that I think about it, maybe, probably, he must have guessed something," he said.

"The so-called obstruction by the Fan Family at that time involved only a few families."

"But it wouldn’t be easy for him to take on that family. Fan Xiaofei is the one fully cultivated by the Fan Family. Although he has a younger brother, the truth is..."

Zhao Aoran thought about some arrangements Father Fan had made before. Fan Xiaofei didn’t want more competitors vying with him, so on the surface, he doted on his brother, allowing him to pursue what he liked.

In fact, it wasn’t entirely false to guide his own brother and sister into a life of indulgence and pleasure, molding them into spendthrifts.

As long as the Fan Family maintained its status, that was never a problem. But now that the Fan Family was almost finished, with no status left to fight for, they had become a burden to Fan Xiaofei.

Thinking of this, Zhao Aoran was truly delighted, "I think the current Fan Xiaofei must be pissed to death."

"It’s really like lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot." Zhao Aoran knew that he was like this now because of his own actions.

But it had something to do with Fan Xiaofei as well. He might not be able to take action, but it was good news if others did.

After enjoying their meal and a lively discussion, Zhang Xia and the rest headed back to their dormitory.

From a distance, they saw Zhao Aoran and Huang Lei together. Qian Lina bit her lip when she saw them, "Do you guys think they will end up together?"

"I really think they are a bit too close for comfort." Even though Qian Lina disdained Zhao Aoran as a manure picker, she often saw him obtaining fish and shrimp, which made her,

who was always thinking about economizing and planning to provide for her parents, very envious and jealous.

Thinking that if Zhao Aoran were to pursue her, wouldn’t the fish and shrimp he got be for her?

Zhao Aoran’s salary could also save a portion for her to mail back home.

She didn’t lack action, but the result was cruel; Zhao Aoran truly ignored her, didn’t care at all, or rather, never really looked at her.

She even understood why their classmates said Zhao Aoran looked down on many people—it was indeed the case.

Zhang Xia glanced at her, "How could it be, hasn’t Huang Lei always said that she wants to find a man to marry into her family?"

"Do you think, with Zhao Aoran’s pride, he would be willing to marry into a family?" Even now, when Zhao Aoran was hauling manure, he walked with an erect back, and his clothes were always clean.

Because a roommate said there was something wrong with him, he directly applied to change dormitories, moved into a storage room, and after some cleaning, it was quite tidy.

The formerly dirty storage room, which no one cared about or valued, was now, after being cleaned up, coveted by many.

After all, living alone was really comfortable, but Zhao Aoran wasn’t someone to be trifled with. With just a word—that he had a strong body odor—no dorm wanted to accept him, and just like that, he kept his single room.

Actually, if you seriously smelled, you’d realize that Zhao Aoran did have a scent, but it wasn’t that strong.

Someone who could hold on to so much under such circumstances showed he was a man with ambition.

"Whether they’re a couple or not, that’s their business," Han Qian also had various issues with Qian Lina.

She never thought of stepping up in a situation but would act pitiful in the background, stir up trouble, hoping someone else would step forward.

Such tricks, having fooled someone once, wouldn’t work a second time, yet this person continued to operate this way.

Sometimes Han Qian wondered just how much intelligence this person had, continuing to make such dumb mistakes.

She didn’t believe that Qian Lina was really into Zhao Aoran as a person. It must have been the sight of the fish and shrimp he often found that moved her heart.

They could see through it, and Zhao Aoran, having been sharp since childhood, wasn’t someone Qian Lina’s little schemes could fool—it was like dreaming.

Zhao Shufang and the others had been burned before, and now Qian Lina’s tricks were ones they simply avoided and ignored.

No matter how furious Qian Lina felt inside, she couldn’t show it; cursing inwardly, she could only force a smile.

Zhang Xia had no desire to watch someone like Qian Lina, who thought she was hiding her feelings well when her face was already twisting, and quickly walked a few steps ahead.

When she got to Huang Lei’s side, "What’s cooking today?"

"Fish soup today," Huang Lei said, indicating she was too tired and "also, there’s no tofu."

"Otherwise, with fish and shrimp, and then adding some mushrooms and such, it really tastes good." She had also tried to cook from memory last time, initially worried about whether the food would turn out delicious.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a real success, regretting only that the ingredients were few; otherwise, there could have been more to enjoy.

Not just Huang Lei was looking forward to it; even Zhang Xia, who had a taste, was very much anticipating it.

"When we rest, we want to catch fish; can we bother Xiao Lei then?"

No one complained about Zhao Aoran often coming to Huang Lei for delicious food because that’s how everyone did it.

It’s just that Zhao Aoran caught fish more frequently, so he sought Huang Lei’s help more often.
