Chapter 538: Backing Up
"Heard you got married?"
Bai Xiao knew it must have been her big-mouthed older sister who spilled the beans; the news hadn’t even settled, yet it was already the talk of the town.
"Yeah, I got married, already tied the knot with An Zhiyuan, An’s second brother. I’m now a proud wife."
"Give me the lowdown, will you? Those lines of yours might fool your clueless older sister, but ever since she tried to send you stuff and it got returned, I and He Weng specifically looked into that address you left. We’ve got inside info that this address is in a dangerous area, they say there’s severe border friction there, and the fact that you don’t get mail or packages just proves it," Liu Hong interrogated.
Bai Xiao rolled her eyes; when had Liu Hong become so shrewd?
"You’ve turned into quite the businesswoman."
"Cut the crap, what’s really going on?"
"Nothing’s wrong, it’s just that An Zhiyuan’s stepmom didn’t want to see me swoop in and snatch away her niece’s marriage arrangement, so she decided to make life difficult for me!" Bai Xiao explained succinctly.
Liu Hong suddenly got fired up, put her hands on her hips and started cursing, "Does that old hag ever come to our provincial city? If she dares to show up again, let me know. I’ll take care of it for you; I’ll make sure that old witch gets a beating to let off some steam. I’ve never seen such a vile-minded woman; she can’t stand seeing others happy if she’s miserable. What on earth is her heart made of, to be so dark?
"The place you went to, you could literally die if things go bad. It’s not like we have a deep-seated grudge. She’s really out to get you! You can’t show any kindness to such a person; you must stand strong. And what did An Zhiyuan say? If he doesn’t protect you, you shouldn’t keep a man like that around. A man who doesn’t look out for his wife in the future is nothing but a vile scumbag; you’re bound to suffer.
