Chapter 990: Chapter 985: Hiding Something (3)

”It’s all in the past, it’s all over now, Old Lu, you need to take it lightly. Besides, hasn’t Yunxiu returned from the farm? He even got into our university, with him by your side, your days won’t be too hard.”

”That’s true, but Yunxiu has changed. I feel he’s very different from before. When I try to talk to him, he’s always absent-minded, especially when I ask about his years in the Northwest. Yunxiu either remains silent or gets up saying he has something to do. Old Li... do you think he’s hiding something from me?”

The speaker here was none other than Shen Yunxiu’s mother, surname Lu, name Xiao.

The person she was talking to was an old colleague, and now also a colleague, surname Li, name Qinfang, also known as Old Lady Li. Both were university professors.

”Didn’t get anything out?”

Old Lady Li asked Mrs. Shen.

”No.”

Mrs. Shen nodded.

At this moment, she was sitting in the apartment allocated to Old Lady Li by the school. However, the two families lived in the same building, and the Shen family lived just across the corridor from Old Lady Li, separated only by a hallway.

The apartments were about the same size, each being three bedrooms and a living room.

Today, Old Lady Li and her husband brought their little great-grandson here mainly to do a final cleaning before moving in. Upon seeing a familiar face, Mrs. Shen couldn’t help but come over to chat with Old Lady Li.

”Kids grow up and naturally have more on their minds. Be patient, maybe he will tell you after some time!”

Old Lady Li comforted Mrs. Shen, ”Besides, life in the countryside isn’t easy. The child must have suffered a lot there, you should let him take his time to adjust, shouldn’t you?!”

At this, Old Lady Li suddenly thought of something, she asked Mrs. Shen, ”You said earlier that your Yunxiu was in the Northwest, it seems he has quite a connection with me and my Old Loh.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen didn’t think much of it and said, ”Your Xiao En is quite well-behaved, it’s just that Xiao Xue has had tough luck!”

”For us women, childbirth is like going through the gates of hell. My Xiao Xue... my Xiao Xue couldn’t make it through, it’s indeed her fate wasn’t good.”

Thinking of her granddaughter, Old Lady Li couldn’t help but show a trace of sorrow in her expression.

Mrs. Shen casually asked, ”What about Xiao En’s father?”

Old Lady Li replied, ”Passed away in an accident.”

Mrs. Shen asked, ”Xiao En took your surname, the in-laws were okay with it?”

”He was an orphan, he offered to let Xiao En take my Xiao Xue’s surname.”

Old Lady Li didn’t realize that the lie she made up today would cause a little storm in the future.

”Old Li, do you think my Yunxiu is being stubborn? Previously, when something happened at our home, Qiu Qin suggested breaking up with Yunxiu. Now that Yunxiu is back, she’s approaching him again, seemingly wanting to get back together. I don’t think much of it.

Moreover, she later also went to a rural area in the South for labor, although she returned through the college entrance exam, she came back with a five-year-old daughter,

indicating she must have married someone there. It’s just unknown why she only brought her daughter and the husband is nowhere to be seen in Hu City.”

Old Lady Li asked, ”Are you talking about Old Qiu’s daughter?”

Mrs. Shen nodded, ”Who else could it be?”

”So you’re unhappy that she was married and has a daughter and wants to reconcile with Yunxiu?” Old Lady Li stated her guess, only to see Mrs. Shen shaking her head, ”That’s not the reason. I simply don’t like that girl’s way of doing things. Besides, Yunxiu is clearly hiding something from me, I very suspect he might have settled down at the place where he was laboring.”

”...”

Old Lady Li was stunned, after a long pause, she asked, ”What does your Yunxiu feel about Qiu Qin now?”

”I can’t really tell.” Mrs. Shen sighed as she spoke, ”They are in contact, but it doesn’t seem like they’re in a relationship.”

Hearing this, Old Lady Li was silent for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Shen and said, ”If your suspicion is true, what will you do?” Mrs. Shen remained silent for a while, and Old Lady Li raised an eyebrow, ”You won’t despise a daughter-in-law from the countryside, would you?”

Mrs. Shen was momentarily stunned, then shook her head, she smiled bitterly and said, ”Given Yunxiu’s past condition, what do I have to despise? I was just thinking, considering Yunxiu’s health in the past, if no one helped him in the countryside,

he probably wouldn’t have made it back to Hu City safely, and moreover... when Yunxiu returned, I noticed he looked energetic and well-dressed...”

At this point, Mrs. Shen suddenly stood up, ”No, I need to get to the bottom of this. I absolutely will not allow Shen Yunxiu to do something ungrateful!”
