Be gentle

"We're just friends...I was his teacher."

Xiao Zhen felt that her explanation was weak, but she didn't want to misunderstand Huaran.

"Have you known each other for a long time?"

But for some reason, Huaran seemed to be very interested in this topic, so she took the initiative to ask a rare question.

"Well, more than ten years."

"At that time, Teacher Kevin was still very young, right?"

"Um……"

Hua Ran suddenly said: "I don't think you don't have the right to pursue happiness."

Xiao Zhen looked at her in surprise, panicked for a moment.

"So even if you have that kind of relationship, I won't underestimate you."

"No...we really are not, at least right now we really don't..."

This time it was Huaran's turn to be a little surprised.She is definitely not a nosy person, but when she saw Kevin and Xiao Zhen, she thought of herself and Bai Shuyi for some reason, and she asked these words because of the situation.She originally thought that the two were so close, and Kevin made no secret of his maintenance and admiration for Xiao Zhen, so it would not be just an ordinary friendship.

Xiao Zhen said helplessly: "This is a very complicated matter..."

"Okay... sorry, I misunderstood."

Huaran realized that she had talked too much, and was a little annoyed.

"You don't need to apologize..." This kind of conversation between the mother and daughter will naturally look weird to outsiders, but for Xiao Zhen, being able to talk so much with Huaran is already very valuable.

Probably because Huaran asked about feelings, and because she just heard Kevin say that Bai Shuyi likes Huaran last night, she subconsciously searched for a topic, and asked abruptly, "Then what about you and Xiaobai?"

Not to mention Hua Ran was stunned, Xiao Zhen was also stunned.This time, it was impossible to say that it was as simple as just understanding the situation, Huaran was already looking at her with a vigilant expression.

"Xiaobai and I are fine."

Xiao Zhen cleared her throat and explained, "I just heard from Kevin that something happened to her recently."

"...well, but it's over."

The atmosphere was a bit tense, Xiao Zhen was filled with remorse, and the two returned to the state of silence, sitting silently.

The crematorium is a bit far from the city, and there are no good restaurants nearby. Kevin didn't know where to go to buy food, and he didn't come back when the guests came one after another.

Hua Jianguo arrived at the crematorium with his son, grandson and Hua Teng at around four in the morning.

Although Huaran hadn't contacted him for a long time, and he still had some grievances in his heart, when he saw Hua Jianguo, he got up immediately and greeted him respectfully.

Hua Jianguo's expression was not very good when he saw Xiao Zhen sitting with Hua Ran, and when he walked in front of Hua Ran, Xiao Zhen showed a bit of anger when he didn't seem to see him.

When facing Huaran, he still has guilt and pity, because Huaran's surname is Hua, who is from Huajia Village and the only seedling of his friend.But for Xiao Zhen, for this outsider who in his opinion abandons her husband and son and does not obey women's morals, he has no good looks at all.

"Grandpa the village chief."

"Hmm..." Hua Jianguo looked down at Xiao Zhen, and said to his son and grandson, "Go ahead and offer incense to Aunt Hua."

Hua Teng didn't know the relationship between Xiao Zhen and Hua Ran, so he looked at them a few more times before leaving.

"Grandpa, the village chief..."

Hua Jianguo's expression was not quite right, while Xiao Zhen sat motionless, tilting her head and just ignoring others, with a stubborn and even childish expression.

"Xiao Fengsheng, I have something to tell you."

"I have nothing to say to you."

Of course Xiao Zhen is angry with Jianguo, otherwise she would have seen her daughter at least two years earlier.She was so angry that he prevented the mother and daughter from getting to know each other, that he was once an accomplice who persecuted her, that he was rigid and pedantic for sacrificing Huaran's happiness in order to fulfill his righteousness, if it wasn't for his so-called integrity, she would not accept her money, How could Huaran have suffered so much for money in the past two years?

But she has more fundamental reasons to hate him than anger.If it wasn't for Huaran, she would never want to see Hua Jianguo again in her life.

Xiao Zhen's words obviously offended Hua Jianguo's majesty as the village chief. He frowned and said in a stern tone: "But I have something to tell you... about Xiaoran."

Huaran didn't like the way Hua Jianguo spoke to Xiao Zhen, and the two didn't recognize each other. She felt that Hua Jianguo didn't need to communicate with Xiao Zhen because of herself.

"Grandpa Village Chief, no need, we..."

Xiao Zhen stood up at this time, and said coldly: "Then let's find a quieter place to talk."

Hua Jianguo said "Yes", and said to Huaran with his hands behind his back: "Ran girl, go and see Tengzi and the others."

Hua Jianguo has been gaining power over Huaran for a long time. Although she knew it was not good, after hearing what the other person said, her feet seemed to have taken root.

"Xiaoran, why are you here alone? Where's the village chief's grandfather?" Hua Teng came out after burning incense at some point, and greeted Hua Ran with an intimacy and kindness.

"There's something wrong with them..." Huaran came back to her senses, but still felt that this was not good, "I'll go find them."

Hua Teng took her hand, "Since there is something to do, let him finish. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just wanted to talk to you."

Huaran was startled, and subconsciously wanted to break away from him.Hua Teng's hand made her feel a little nervous, and that different attitude from the past also made her uncomfortable.

"Brother Tengzi..."

Hua Teng didn't go too far, let go of her hand, but just blocked the way she wanted to move forward.

"I went to see you several times before, but the other clerk said you were not there every time... You are not avoiding me, are you?"

"I'm a little busy recently."

"I know I know, that game. Haha, I thought you were famous and forgot about us."

Huaran didn't pay attention here, and didn't listen carefully to Hua Teng's words, she just responded perfunctorily: "How come...Brother Teng Zi, I have something else to do, can I excuse you first?"

Hua Teng approached Hua Ran a few times before, but was rejected every time, and had already lost his patience.Now he no longer has any thoughts of using tenderness to win the hearts of beauties. After being tortured by that young lady for a few months, he even resented Huaran.

"You're not really hiding from me, are you?"

Hua Ran felt that after Hua Teng hadn't seen her for a while, she became a little different from the past, but she couldn't tell what was different, but she felt a little vigilant in her heart.

"No, I really have something to do."

"It's not too late..."

"Hey, it's not a gentleman's job to force a lady like this." Just as Hua Teng was pressing harder and harder, Kevin appeared out of nowhere.He was holding the heat preservation box in one hand, and put the other hand on Hua Teng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Didn't you see that there is something wrong with him?"

"Teacher Kevin?"

Hua Teng didn't recognize Kevin at first, but after hearing Hua Ran's words, he avoided his hand like a snake and scorpion, and looked at him with a delicate and disgusted expression.

Kevin didn't respond to him at all, and instead asked Huaran, "Xiaoran, where's Sophia?"

Huaran was relieved, and said anxiously: "The village chief grandpa said that he wants to talk to... her."

"where is it?"

Although Kevin was still smiling, his eyes became obviously serious.

"I'll take you."

No matter what Hua Jianguo wants to say to Xiao Zhen, Hua Ran doesn't want to see it.Originally, no one owed anyone, but such a commotion made it even more embarrassing.

Kevin knows more than Huaran, but has deeper worries.

Seeing the two leave, Hua Teng followed behind silently.

Although Hua Jianguo was not the person who directly persecuted her back then, Xiao Zhen still felt uncomfortable every time he saw him.

"...So I won't stop you from supporting her in money or other ways, but Ran girl will always be from Huajia Village, the granddaughter of Guyi. Don't try to use adulthood to drive us apart."

Xiao Zhen sneered, "Does the so-called adulthood mean how I got to Huajia Village, and how did my husband die?"

Hua Jianguo's face was livid, and he poked his neck and said, "Xun Shuang died to save my son, and I will always be grateful to him."

"It's really that simple? If I hadn't married Xunshuang back then, you would have allowed me to leave the village? Later, Xunshuang wanted to take me out of the village, what conditions did you give him? The ancestral nine-steamed Huangjing craftsmanship is still there. How much medicinal material did he pay? Xun Shuang is innocent, and really thinks that because he is the only doctor in the village, he can't just leave... Aren't you just afraid that I will report the crime after I go out?"

"You married Xun Shuang voluntarily, what am I afraid of?"

"Yes, I married him voluntarily, but the old couple who bought me later bought a girl, what do you think you are afraid of?"

Hua Jianguo's forehead was full of blue veins, "It was you at the beginning...but this matter has been resolved, so don't worry about it."

"I haven't done anything bad except feeling guilty about Xiaoran. The one who really clings to the past, the one who really can't feel at ease is you. The place where Xunshuang fell off the cliff, since he married me, will never I went there. Whether it was to save your son or was forced by your son to gather medicine, you know it in your heart." Xiao Zhen has kept this matter in her heart for many years, but no matter how much she doesn't believe it, it is impossible to have an answer now.

"That's what you told Xiaoran? She recognized you after you told her these words, right? Nonsense! Yes, Xunshuang went there to gather enough herbs, and she stumbled to save my son. , but that's all because you want to leave, and it's all because you are not familiar with it! Xun Shuang saved you, and this is how you repay him? You must know that it was your parents who sold you back then, and if you want to blame it, you must blame your parents... ..."

The crematorium is built on the mountainside, and the second half of the building faces the mountain, so the environment is very quiet.

Hua Jianguo was so excited that he was incoherent. When Kevin rushed over, he heard the conversation between the two. After turning the corner, he almost rushed to him and separated Xiao Zhen.

"Old man, don't speak so loudly when you are old, and be careful of high blood pressure."

The author has something to say: Xiaobai: Wait, isn't it my role to be a hero and save the beauty?

Kevin: Let papa give you a demonstration first.

(In order for Xiaobai to appear earlier, two consecutive days of double updates, I am easy!!!)

(not easy!)
