RAD Chapter 59

At the time when the whole Luo family was chatting and laughing in the house, suddenly a loud knocking sound came from outside the door. Everyone stopped talking, and the uncle who was standing at the door got up and went out to check the situation.

But in a short while, the people inside the house heard a commotion outside. They all frowned and went out.

At the door, the uncle was struggling to block a few people who were trying to rush in. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Xu Yan’s former adoptive parents and her former younger brother, as well as a strange woman with a big belly.

Xu Yan immediately understood after seeing situation. The news of her return must have reached these people, and they had come to cause trouble!

Xu Yan looked apologetically at the Luo family members, then stepped forward and patted the uncle’s shoulder, indicating that she would handle the matter. In the three or four years since she went to the S City, and after starting university and coming into contact with a wider range of people, her character had become much stronger and no longer as weak as it was four years ago. Facing these former relatives, she knew how to deal with them.

“What are you all coming here making such a commotion for?” Xu Yan said angrily.

Mother Xu pulled Father Xu, who seemed angry after hearing Xu Yan’s impolite words, and then said with a smile and hint of concern, “Oh, Yanzi, you shouldn’t say that. We are your parents. What’s wrong with us, the parents, coming to see our own child?”

“Oh? I remember we broke off relations four years ago?” Xu Yan’s face showed sarcasm, “And you’re just my former adoptive parents. The kindness you showed in raising me, I’ve repaid it all a long time ago.”

“Oh, how can you say that, child?” Mother Xu’s eyes flashed with malice, but then she forced a smile again, as if Xu Yan was just being childish. “By the way, you haven’t come back home in these four years. Now that you’re finally back, why are you staying at someone else’s house?”

“It’s none of your business where I stay.” Xu Yan felt disgusted by the smile on her face. “Just tell me directly, what are you all rushing to someone else’s house so early in the morning?”

“Hehe, look at how this child is talking.” Mother Xu covered her mouth and laughed awkwardly for a few times, then changed the subject and pulled the hand of the strange woman beside her, saying, “Here, Yanzi, this is your brother’s wife, named Xiao Xue. She’s going to give birth in three months.”

“Is that so? Congratulations then.” Xu Yan said indifferently. She didn’t miss the hidden jealousy in the so-called sister-in-law’s eyes.

“Yeah, yeah,” Young brother Xu immediately chimed in from the side, “Haha, sister, you see, it’s the new year, and your eldest nephew is going to be born in three months. Don’t you think you should express something?”

It wasn’t just Xu Yan herself, the other Luo family members also couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows: So this is about coming to ask for gifts? Well, they’re really thick-skinned, aren’t they? After all, they had cut off relations four years ago, and the two sides had even torn each other’s faces back then!

“Express something?” Xu Yan was also admiring these people at the moment, “We don’t even have a relationship anymore, what do I need to express?”

At this, Father Xu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn’t hold back anymore. He took two steps forward, pointed at Xu Yan’s nose, and cursed her loudly, “You ungrateful wretch! I raised you for so many years, and now that you’ve made it big in S City. You’ve come back and don’t even recognize us poor parents, right? They told us that you came back with big and small packages yesterday. So what? You just want to give gifts to outsiders and not care about your own family?”

Hearing Father Xu loud rebukes, Xu Yan reacted immediately: Okay, so their true nature is revealed again. No matter how much time passes, these people’s greed deep down can’t be changed!

“Outsiders? No, these are all my own family!” Xu Yan turned her head and looked at the Luo family members standing silently behind her, then looked in confusion at Father Xu, “Look, these are my godparents, and my god-sisters and god-brothers!”

“You!” Father Xu was so angry that he was about to explode. He took a few steps forward and wanted to slap Xu Yan’s face hard. But he was immediately blocked by the younger uncle standing next to Xu Yan.

“What, you’re going to hit someone when you have no more arguments?” The younger uncle tightly gripped Father Xu’s wrist, and the powerful grip made Father Xu’s face turn white from the pain.

“Let go of me! You little bastard! This is our family’s business. What are you, an outsider, butting in for?” Seeing this, Mother Xu wanted to go up and help but was blocked by the elder uncle.

Young brother Xu and his wife saw that the situation was not good, so they quietly stepped back, ready to turnd around and leave immediately if things went wrong!

“What’s all this fuss about!” Grandpa Luo who had watched the situation develop finally couldn’t stand it anymore. He gave Xu Yan a reassuring look and then spoke up loudly: “Xu Yan is our adopted daughter. You don’t cherish her, but we do. What’s wrong, in the past you saw no value in her and just discarded her, and now that she’s doing well you want her back? She’s a human being, not something you can just wave away and summon as you please!”

“That’s right!” Grandma Luo quickly followed up, “Look at your family. Eeryone in the town knows that your family is all about money-grubbing. This time you came to find our Yanzi, it’s obviously just for her money, right? If you had even a little bit of a conscience as parents and were truly here to see our Yanzi, we would absolutely welcome you with a smile. But today’s matter, to put bluntly, is that you’re the ones who are being shameless. Coming here to get scolded and it’s all your own doing!”

“You! You!!”

Father Xu and Mother Xu were so angry that they could hardly speak properly, but there was nothing they could do. Scolding, they couldn’t beat the other party; fighting, a single look at the comparison of numbers made it clear that they had no chance of winning!

But they just couldn’t let it go. They really didn’t want to in their hearts!

At this moment, Luo Xiao relied on his good eyesight and saw several people coming from a distance. Seeing those familiar faces, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter: What day is it today? Why are there always some annoying people rushing to make them sick?

As those people approached, the other members of the Luo family also saw it very clearly. They couldn’t help but think at the same time: Should we go to the temple to burn some incense in a few days?

When Yu Yi, who was supporting Old Mrs. Yu, saw the situation happening at the Luo family’s doorway, she frowned indifferently in her heart. Could it be that they were too late?

Luo Qian looked at the approaching Old Mrs. Yu and Yu Yi and then looked at the still-arguing Xu family. She couldn’t help but reach out and pat Xu Yan on the shoulder. Seeing the look in Xu Yan’s eyes when she turned around, she comforted with a smile.

What’s there to be afraid of? When the enemies come, fight back. When the water comes, cover it with earth. She, Luo Qian, is not an easy person to bully either.

“Second sister-in-law, Xiao Xiao, you’re back from S City?” Yu Yi greeted with a flattering smile.

As for Old Mrs. Yu, not even a snort was good enough. If it wasn’t for Yu Yi’s words, she wouldn’t have made an effort to come and see this shameless person!

“Well. What are you doing here?” Luo Qian directly ignored Old Mrs. Yu’s ugly face and asked coldly.

“Haha, actually there’s nothing.” Yu Yi smiled politely in response, but before she could continue, she was choked by Luo Qian’s words.

“If you have nothing to do, then take care.”

“…” Yu Yi embarrassedly twisted her mouth and then said again: “This, come to think of it, there is something.”

Luo Qian looked at her without saying anything. Yu Yi had no choice but to continue, “Well, that is, I saw you guys came back yesterday. You seem to be doing very well in S City? Can you take me with you when you go back? I want to go to S city and develop myself a little.”

Luo Qian realized now why her former sister-in-law had gotten so close to Brother Xu. Hmph, it really is true that birds of a feather flock together! This one has no shame, the two families are only equal in status!

“You can go to S City anytime, why do you have to go with us?” Luo Qian stared straight into Yu Yi’s eyes and said.

The guilty Yu Yi finally could not bear the oppressive gaze. She slightly lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice, “Haha, this, I’m not familiar with S city. If I go with you, Second Sister-in-law, it would be different.”

“There’s no difference.” Luo Qian continued expressionlessly, “And I remind you again, I have no relationship with your Yu family. Don’t call me sister-in-law casually, it bothers me a lot!”

“……” Yu Yi did not expect that after four years, the once timid Second Sister-in-law had become so aggressive, making her feel unrecognizable.

The silent Old Mrs. Yu frowned and looked at Luo Qian with disgust. She spat heavily on the ground: “Shameless!” Then she directly pulled the unwilling Yu Yi and left without looking back.

There were still faint sounds of Old Mrs. Yu constantly cursing, and Yu Yi was constantly trying to please and smile. And her eyes kept stealing glances in their direction.

Luo Xiao looked at the two retreating figures and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that, according to his former aunt’s character, this matter would not be so easily settled!

As for the still cursing Xu family, under the threat of the uncle and others, they had to walk back to their own home while cursing.

Looking at the finally quiet doorway, Luo Qian and Xu Yan couldn’t help but exchange a bitter smile. They never expected that just this trip back with a few big and small packages would bring about these unpleasant events. Obviously, the things they brought back were just a little bigger in size, and the prices weren’t even that expensive, but they were turned into them making a fortune in S City. It seems they need to be more careful in the future when they come back.

After the New Year, Luo Xiao and the other two set off back to S City by car. Luo Xiao casually glanced at a figure that had been secretly following them and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: Just as he expected, some people would not easily give up!
