Chapter 279 - 216: The Rhythm of Another Live Broadcast_3
Sometimes, Qian Rouxuan would think: perhaps her uncle’s illness was triggered by Luo Yang. Otherwise, how come no one else in the family had cancer, yet the one who seemed the healthiest ended up with this disease?
She reminisced about the past and hadn’t even stepped onto the stairs when she heard the clattering sounds of mahjong tiles. Pulling aside the door curtain, her eyes fell on a table of people playing mahjong. The room was filled with smoke so thick it was suffocating. Qian Rouxuan instinctively covered her mouth and nose with her hand. The people around the table stared at her curiously.
Her aunt had been sitting at the counter with her arms crossed, watching TV. When she saw someone come in, she looked up and blinked in disbelief upon realizing it was her: "Is that... Xuanxuan?"
Qian Rouxuan stepped forward with a smile, speaking warmly: "Auntie, it’s me!"
Her aunt slapped her thigh excitedly: "Really? The other day, Luo Yang mentioned you were back! I thought that boy was just talking nonsense. You’ve gotten even prettier! You were doing so well abroad—why did you come back? Are you staying this time or leaving again?"
The table of mahjong players overheard her words and looked at Qian Rouxuan with envy. These days, anyone who had been abroad was considered rich—the moon abroad even seemed rounder than the one at home.
Qian Rouxuan coughed lightly, "I came back because of some business. I might leave again in a while. Auntie, how have you been? Is Luo Yang not at home?"
If she had the boy’s phone number, she definitely wouldn’t have come here directly. This place was awful—the smoke from their cigarettes was sharp and overwhelming, making it hard for her to breathe.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, her aunt held Qian Rouxuan’s hand and said, "This smoke must be choking you. Come on, let’s go inside and talk!" She then told a woman with curly hair wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt: "Sister Huang, keep an eye on the shop for me!"
"Don’t worry! We’ll watch the place for you while you’re inside. No one can steal anything from us!" Sister Huang waved her hand at her reassuringly.
