Chapter 389: How Shameless Can You Be?

Fu Mingxue looked toward the familiar voice.

She felt both surprised and a little exasperated.

She picked up her luggage and hurried over.

"Mom, didn’t I ask you not to come? Why are you here?"

Mrs. Fu shot her an irritated glare.

"If I didn’t come, how were you planning on getting home? Walking? See? I brought your bicycle for you."

Fu Mingxue was speechless.

’Thanks, Mom. I have eyes. I can see that.’

"What are you spacing out for? Let’s go!" Mrs. Fu took all the luggage from her.

But when she lifted the rattan suitcase, she looked puzzled. "Is this thing empty? Why is it so light?"

Fu Mingxue felt a pang of guilt at her mother’s words.

She’d forgotten—’of course it was light with only a few articles of clothing inside.’

"Mom, you’re just really strong. By the way, where are the two kids?"

She quickly changed the subject.

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned them, her mother’s attention shifted.

"The kids are next door, of course. Wang Xiang is helping watch them."

She got along well with her neighbor.

Whenever she had errands to run, she’d ask her neighbor, Wang Xiang, to watch the children for a bit.

Wang Xiang was a good person and easy to get along with.

The mother-daughter duo walked over to the tricycle.

Fu Mingxue unloaded the bicycle first.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu placed all the luggage on the tricycle.

"Alright, you should get going. Your bike is fast, so you can head back first. My tricycle’s a bit slower, so I’ll just take my time."

"Mom, it’s okay, I’m not in a rush. By the way, you mentioned Old Man Fu died. How did it happen?"

Fu Mingxue was still quite curious.

’In her previous life, Old Man Fu had lived for several more years.’

"Who knows." Mrs. Fu clearly didn’t want to discuss it.

’The man was dead, so there was no point dwelling on the past.’

’Of course, that was assuming the Fu family would stop bothering her and her daughter.’

Fu Mingxue fell silent.

She took the hint and didn’t ask about Old Man Fu again.

Instead, she asked about Old Mrs. Fu and Fu Mingya coming to the base to stir up trouble.

The moment she brought it up, Mrs. Fu’s anger flared.

"I don’t know what damned bastard gave them our address."

Mrs. Fu had actually been wondering who it was for a while, but she hadn’t found a single clue.

She really couldn’t imagine who it could be.

’Maybe when her son-in-law got back from his mission, she could ask him.’

Fu Mingxue had been mulling over the same questions.

’She did have one person in mind—Ruan Hongfei.’

’After all, Ruan Hongfei was the one who held such a deep grudge against her.’

’But Ruan Hongfei was in prison now.’

’There was no point in trying to question her.’

’There was one other possibility—someone from their hometown was stationed on the base.’

But they hadn’t heard of anyone from back home joining the army.

The only one had been that guy with the surname Song, but he’d already been convicted and sentenced.

’Oh well, it didn’t matter who it was.’

’Now that Old Mrs. Fu had been sent back, it was unlikely anyone else from the Fu family would show up at their door again.’

The mother and daughter chatted about other things on the way home.

It was evening by the time they rode back home.

Hearing the commotion, their neighbor Wang Xiang quickly came out.

When she saw Fu Mingxue, she was taken aback by her beauty.

"Mingxue, I haven’t seen you in a month and you’ve gotten even prettier!"

’How could someone be as beautiful as a goddess?’

’And her skin was so fair—whiter than fine flour.’

Fu Mingxue’s smile bloomed. "Sister Wang, I love your compliments. Feel free to praise me more."

Her words left Wang Xiang completely stunned.

Mrs. Fu, however, rolled her eyes at her daughter. "Even if you are pretty, you can’t be so shameless about it. Now, hurry up and get the children home."
