Chapter 496: Chapter 496

Fang Pingying saw the situation and was so annoyed that she couldn’t help but yell at the old lady, "Old lady, if you keep being so unreasonable, don’t blame me for being rude. You might be tough, but as the saying goes, the fist fears the young and strong. If it really comes to fighting, I don’t believe we, the young ones, can’t beat you."

"You..." The old lady wasn’t foolish, she naturally knew that if it really came down to fighting, she might be able to take on one person, but definitely not three. So she stood still, planning not to fight, but her mouth was still busy, she scolded Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying harshly, "I knew this Fang Xiu was no good, and the people she knows are no good either."

Fang Pingying didn’t give the old lady any face, rolling her eyes at her, "Old lady, out of respect for you as Guangsheng’s mother, I was speaking to you politely. If you keep talking , I’ll have to ask you to leave. I’m sorry, but you’re not welcome here."

The old lady choked with anger, it took her a while before she pointed at Fang Pingying with her neck stiffened, and yelled, "Who are you to yell and scream at me? You think I won’t hit you too?"

Fang Pingying curled her lips and mimicked the old lady, retorting, "And who do you think you are, thinking you can just hit someone whenever you like? You believe me, I’ll call the police and have you taken to the Police Station."

"I..." The old lady seemed to respect the Police Station quite a bit. Hearing Fang Pingying’s words, she seemed a bit scared, her voice became much quieter, she quickly waved her hands and said, "I don’t want to be arrested. I didn’t hurt her. You can’t take me to the Police Station. I won’t go."

Having said that, she indeed seemed to be frightened by Fang Pingying and swiftly walked out the door, stopping her tirade.

Seeing that the old lady seemed truly scared, Fang Xiu softly said to Fang Pingying, "Big sister, let it go. I’ll call Guangsheng and let him handle it."

"Mm." Now, they really needed to call Zhou Guangsheng to handle this.

These men looked decent at a glance, but they all had such troublesome mothers.

Luo Zhiyong is one, Zhou Guangsheng is another, truly frustrating.

Fang Xiu glanced at the old lady, then walked back into the shop to make the phone call.

The old lady was probably scared by Fang Pingying’s threat of the Police Station, after leaving, she sat on a bench outside the door, not daring to speak.

But from time to time, she would lift her head to peek inside the shop, her eyes showing a trace of surprise as if seeing such a beautifully decorated store for the first time.

Then she would frown and glance at Fang Pingying, seemingly having something to say to her, but she moved her lips, and in the end, turned away without speaking.

During the argument with the old lady, Fang Pingying was too agitated to think of anything else.

Now that she had calmed down, she found it a bit strange.

First, why did the old lady suddenly come to the city?

She knew that Zhou Guangsheng’s parents were also from the countryside and didn’t have the best circumstances, but they rarely came to the city to trouble Zhou Guangsheng.

Second, why did the old lady, upon arriving in the city, not go to the military base to find Zhou Guangsheng but came directly to the shop to look for Fang Xiu?

She must have learned of Fang Xiu and found this place through someone’s information.

Third, the old lady kept calling Fang Xiu a "homewrecker," saying that Fang Xiu had ruined the marriage between Zhou Guangsheng and Bai Jing. Where did she hear that from?

Could it be, the old lady didn’t know about Zhou Guangsheng and Bai Jing’s divorce?

But still, it’s possible when you think about it.

Divorce isn’t a good thing after all; Zhou Guangsheng might not have told his family.

What’s strangest is why Guangsheng’s mother directly approached Fang Xiu and seemed quite angry, as if she was standing up for someone.

Thinking this, Fang Pingying glanced at Guangsheng’s mother a few times.

Guangsheng’s mother was quite vengeful, remembering that Fang Pingying had yelled at her and tussled with her. She glared at Fang Pingying irritably, not wanting to talk to her.

Seeing this, Fang Ping whispered to Yu’er, "Yu’er, go and cozy up to the old lady, find out what she’s here for and how she knew to come here looking for Fang Xiu."

Yu’er was clever. She approached Guangsheng’s mother but did not start a conversation straight away. Instead, she tidied up around the old Lady, striking up some small talk.

Seeing that Guangsheng’s mother wasn’t particularly repulsed by her, Yu’er sat down and began to cozy up to her, "Granny, you’re Guangsheng’s mother, right?" The most update n0vels are published on novel※fire.net

"Yes," Guangsheng’s mother became somewhat fond of Yu’er as she called Guangsheng affectionately and nodded, asking, "Girl, do you know my son too?"

Yu’er smiled, "How could I not know him? Guangsheng often comes here, and we talk a lot."

Hearing this, Guangsheng’s mother glanced at Fang Xiu, who had just walked away, and muttered quietly, "Humph, I knew it, Guangsheng is here to see that vixen Fang Xiu, right?"

Yu’er frowned slightly then quickly smiled, asking, "Granny, how do you know Fang Xiu is a vixen? Who told you this?"

"I heard from my..." Guangsheng’s mother suddenly looked at Yu’er, unwilling to continue, "You seem quite close to that little vixen, I won’t tell you."

"Granny, it’s okay if you don’t tell me," Yu’er, seeing Guangsheng’s mother being evasive, didn’t press on but instead playfully tested, "But I think you mislabeled Fang Xiu as a vixen. Fang Xiu is Guangsheng’s significant other, they’re even planning to get married; she’s practically your daughter-in-law by now. How could she be a vixen?"

Upon hearing this topic, Guangsheng’s mother became agitated again, spitting out and then glaring irritably at Fang Xiu who had just come from making a phone call, loudly declaring, "The only daughter-in-law I recognize is Xiao Jing, no one else should dream of entering the Zhou Family’s door."

Hearing this name, Fang Pingying’s heart skipped a beat, and she finally understood everything.

It seemed, Guangsheng’s mother must have been sent by Bai Jing.

Probably, Bai Jing still held hope for Zhou Guangsheng, hoping to reconcile with him. Seeing that Zhou Guangsheng hadn’t acted, she wasn’t worried, but hearing about Zhou Guangsheng’s plan to marry Fang Xiu, she did everything in her power to stop it, bringing in the most formidable person.

At the same time, Fang Xiu realized too, whispering to Fang Pingying, "Xiao Jing is Zhou Guangsheng’s ex-wife?"

Fang Pingying nodded, sighing inwardly, suspecting that Xiu and Zhou’s marriage won’t go smoothly and will face obstacles.

"Xiao Jing..." Yu’er, after hearing from Guangsheng’s mother, thought for a long time then recalled Bai Jing, realizing, "I understand now, she’s the ex-wife who divorced Guangsheng, right?"

Guangsheng’s mother heard this, immediately displeased, glaring at Yu’er, "What ex-wife, what divorce, without my consent, I’ll see who dares to divorce..."
