Chapter 310: Get Out of the Car

“I…” Sun Yunyun dried her tears, feeling wronged. She looked at Liu Chun pitifully. Her eyes reflected her grievances, but more than that, they sparkled with a glimmer of anticipation.
Amid her tearful performance, she could tell Liu Chun had been consoling her. The other man had remained indifferent. Regardless of the topics she raised, the man who had driven them to the village treated her like air. Liu Chun had been the one to converse with her if only to dispel the awkward atmosphere.
Sun Yunyun placed all her hopes on Liu Chun.
She did not want to be chased out of the car in front of the villagers. If that happened, her visions of grandeur and the image she had tried to cultivate would immediately collapse. She did not even know the driver’s name! Liu Chun had almost let the cat out of the bag but was cowed into silence by his companion.
She had not even managed to dispel the tension in the air!
“Big Brother Liu Chun…” Sun Yunyun mewled pitifully.
Liu Chun wanted to put in a good word for Sun Yunyun. But he wisely shut his mouth when he was reminded of Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhou Hengyang’s tempers, despite expressing themselves differently.
Xu Xiaoxiao would not hesitate to kick him out if he dared speak up.
Liu Chun shook his head helplessly.
“Why are you still sitting in my car?” Xu Xiaoxaio demanded, uncaring how he might have sounded at this point.
Sun Yunyun did not need to be told a third time. Still, it did nothing to make her feel less wronged. She did not tarry once she exited the car, not wanting to embarrass herself or draw unwanted attention. Moreover, the drawing of lots had already begun at the headquarters. She had to convince her parents to switch with Su Wen.
Convincing her parents would not be a big deal – they always listened to her. Since she was young, her parents had learned to trust her dreams which brought countless blessings to their family. They would go with her words as long as she told them what she had dreamt.
Her dreams never failed to bring them good luck. The person Sun Yunyun was most concerned about was Su Wen. The Su Wen of the past would have listened to whatever she said. The Su Wen of the present was a changed woman. She had become evil and loathsome.
Sun Yunyun was truly heartbroken. Her best friend had betrayed her. To think she would become someone so vicious… It was heartbreaking! Not only had she trampled on their friendship, but she also schemed against her!
It was the reason all the villagers looked down on her.
It was such a depressing turn of events; one Sun Yunyun could not accept. Only recently had she regained her confidence after spending time away from the village and studying hard in school. The time she had spent away was not without downsides, however. No one was willing to associate with her. Sun Yunyun hoped things would change once she showed her fellow villagers how hardworking she was. Afterward, she would convince them of her innocence through acts of kindness.
In doing so, she would show how her kindness complimented her natural beauty.
If Su Wen agreed to her proposal, Sun Yunyun would let bygones be bygones. She would even forgive Su Wen for framing her in the past.
This way, everyone could see how good she was, and Su Wen once again be her friend, having turned over a new leaf.
After chasing Sun Yunyun out of the car, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately felt that the air had become fresher, and his sour expression melted into relief.
‘Xu Xiaoxiao, at this rate, you’ll be single for the rest of your life,’ Liu Chun thought, clicking his tongue in wonder. He certainly did not do his name justice.
Xu Xiaoxiao was well known for the association the name had with Zhou Hengyang. Almost no one did not know of the incident where Xu Xiaoxiao provoked Zhou Hengyang. His tale was a blemish he would carry for the rest of his life.
Rumour had it that Xu Xiaoxiao was given that name because Madam Zhou was into Wuxia novels, in particular, a novel entitled The Dharma Protector of Mingjiao, and its protagonist, Yang Xiao. Madam Zhou was pregnant then and decided to pay tribute to the work by naming her child Xu Xiao.
She had hoped her child would lead a carefree life like Yang Xiao. Hence, Xu Xiao became Xu Xiaoxiao, doubling down on the carefree nature the word ‘Xiao’ was supposed to represent..
