The Road Is Full of People

The next day, Qiao Nian woke up in the morning and went to Aunt Chen’s usual stall.

She had just turned the corner when she saw that Aunt Chen’s stall was surrounded by onlookers.

The crowd was bustling.

As if they were watching something fun.

Qiao Nian frowned. She pulled down the hood of her jacket, removed her earphones, and walked forward.

“Excuse me, please make way.”

She squeezed into the crowd and finally understood why so many people were gathered there.

A luxury car was parked not far from Aunt Chen’s stall. A black Bugatti Veyron was definitely an eye-catching existence in a small place like Rao City. Many people probably stopped to watch the commotion because they were attracted by the luxury car parked by the roadside.

Not far away, someone was tugging at Aunt Chen, as if they wanted to force a bag into her hands.

“Madam Fu, this gift of yours is too precious. I really can’t accept it.”

“This is just a small gift. It’s just a small token of my appreciation. Just accept it.” A well-dressed noblewoman kept handing things to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen’s sallow face turned red and she was very uneasy. She clenched her fists and refused to take it. “Take it back. I really can’t take it.”

She saw Fu Ge bringing his mother over when she came out to set up her stall in the morning.

Aunt Chen thought that they were just going to do something nearby.

Unexpectedly, the two of them walked towards her with gifts. Without a word, they stuffed a pile of gifts into her hands.

How could she accept these things for no reason?

Besides, there was no such thing as a free lunch. She might be poor, but she wasn’t unreasonable.

The Fu family had suddenly come looking for her, and it was such a big scene. They were probably up to no good.

She was just a commoner and did not know anyone important. These people must have found her because they wanted to find someone else through her.

She only knew Nian Nian.

The other was her son, Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan had done well in the college entrance examination this year and entered a famous university. However, the Fu family was a big family in Rao City. How could a big family like theirs come to give him a gift just because Chen Yuan entered a famous school?

Therefore, Aunt Chen wasn’t stupid. She more or less guessed that the Fu family was here for Qiao Nian.

She was actually not used to such a scene. Coupled with the fact that there were so many people watching, it made her very nervous. However, she still insisted on not accepting the gifts. “I really don’t want it. Take it back. I’m going to set up my stall.”

Madam Fu had never seen such a stubborn person. She had a headache about how to make Aunt Chen accept the gifts.

Suddenly, Aunt Chen saw the girl walking over from the corner of her eye. Her eyes lit up and she immediately let go, ignoring the Fu family as she walked towards Qiao Nian.

“Nian Nian, you’re here? I…”

She didn’t know how to explain the situation to Qiao Nian, because she herself didn’t understand why the Fu family had come looking for her.

She was quite worried about Qiao Nian. From the corner of her eye, she looked in the direction of the Fu family. Her plain face was a little embarrassed and at a loss as she whispered to the girl, “Let’s go back. I won’t set up the stall today. Your Uncle Chen is still waiting for us at home. I’ll go buy some groceries. We can leave after lunch if you’re not in a hurry?”

Qiao Nian had wanted to see her as well. The sharpness in her eyes disappeared, and she looked gentle and easy to talk to. “Yes, I’m not in a hurry. Let’s have lunch together.”
