Novel Full 369 Get Together
Now it was Song Xueyun and Han Nanxian’s turn to explain why the two of them were together. An Xiulan and Lu Xuan had their quota of bickering. Now the two of them were sitting there, waiting for answers.
“Why are you two together?” An Xiulan asked the question Han Nanxian.
“Were you together when you called me?” Lu Xuan asked Song Xueyun.
It was Song Xueyun’s turn to answer, “Yes, Lu Xuan. We were together when I called you. A few moments ago before calling you, Nanxian told me that he had invited Xiulan and Zixin for a meal. I called you because you are my best friend. I thought you should be here.”
Lu Xuan was satisfied with the answer but An Xiulan was not. Han Nanxian’s answer sounded diplomatic to her. He was answering her without giving too much information. It was a rare talent that Han Nanxian possessed but she was a lawyer, and playing with words was something that she did for a living.
“You guys met in Shanghai, right?” An Xiulan asked this time. She was making sure that she had all the bases covered. It was like she was investigating a case.
“Yes, An Xiulan, we met in Shanghai, ” Han Nanxian answered.
“Thanks to you, ” Song Xueyun sarcastically said.
An Xiulan averted her gaze.
“What does it mean?” Lu Xuan asked them. What did they mean that Song Xueyun and Han Nanxian met in Shanghai because of her? What did she do this time? He was more than just curious to hear about this.
“Xiulan? Will you tell him or should I tell him?” Song Xueyun asked with a sneaky smile.
An Xiulan sighed. She looked at Lu Xuan and recited the event where Han Nanxian and Song Xueyun met. “As I told you, her ex-boyfriend was a jerk. Oh, he wasn’t even her ex-boyfriend. They were merely dating. Anyway, it didn’t change the fact that he was a jerk. And do you remember her boss that we all hate a lot?” Lu Xuan nodded her head. “Apparently both of them were meeting behind her back and doing all the things I can’t name here. Xueyun caught them together. That woman didn’t agree but she had caught them red-handed. Xueyun resigned from the job in a great fashion. The man was trying to get her back. She didn’t want to be back with her. Teacher Han was in the same hotel. When he saw her there crying and sad, he beat up the poor man. The police arrested both of them.”
Lu Xuan could guess the rest of the story. His sister was a lawyer. One of them would have contacted her. But what happened after getting the damn man out of jail?
“What happened after that?” Lu Xuan questioned.
“Han Nanxian needed a place to live and I was jobless, I needed someone to share rent with me, ” Song Xueyun shrugged.
“You are not poor, ” Lu Xuan mentioned. “He could have found any place in Shanghai. Did he lack money?”
“Thank you for calling me rich, ” Song Xueyun smiled. “But I didn’t know how long it would take me to stand on its feet back. I was just trying to be economical.”
“You went back to being friends?” Lu Xuan asked the two of them.
“We never broke up, ” Han Nanxian answered, meeting his eyes. “I was a coward to not contact her and she was angry at me. When I tried to be brave, she screamed at me. She got angry at me for a few days. Then, her anger settled down and we went back to how we were all these years.”
Lu Xuan and An Xiulan stared at them in disbelief. “Just like that?”
“Nothing changed between the two of you?” An Xiulan asked.
“Many things changed, ” Song Xueyun answered. “We both grew up. We both have a lot of experiences. We don’t know what to do after making peace with each other. It was hard for us to be strangers again. We didn’t want to lose each other. We meant a lot to each other. I know that he hurt me by not contacting me all those years but I understood his point of view. I understood what he was going through at that time. I couldn’t hate him after knowing his story.”
An Xiulan and Lu Xuan shared a worried look. They didn’t know much but they knew how difficult things were with Han Nanxian and his father back then. Also, Han Zixin hated his brother. Han Nanxian was very alone at that time. It was bound to be painful for both Han Nanxian and Song Xueyun.
“So, what is going on between the two of you now?” Lu Xuan asked. “Han Nanxian called An Xiulan and Han Zixin for the meal and Xueyun called me here. I don’t think you guys invited us just to have a get-together.”
Lu Xuan was not naive enough to think that this get-together was merely for meeting each other. There seemed to be a reason behind it that the two of them were hesitating to disclose. What could possibly make them this hesitant?
This time An Xiulan looked at Han Zixin who just shook his head signalling that he was not going to say anything and she should ask the people who invited them here.
“You are right. We indeed have something to disclose, “Song Xueyun said while taking a deep breath. She turned to look at Han Nanxian who held her hand under the table and nodded his head saying he had everything covered.
Han Nanxian looked at everyone present there and said, “Xueyun and I are a couple.”
The twins looked at two of them with wide eyes and parted lips. They were too shocked to utter a word.
