Chapter 66: The Vain Su Yun

“Oh my! I always knew Han De was a cultured child, but to think he scored even better than Su Yun!”

“Yes, exactly... I originally thought Su Yun was the best student around here, but I never imagined that Han De, who usually keeps a low profile, would actually be even better at his studies than Su Yun!”

“Incredible! Your Old Han family has truly produced a Wenquxing!”

A group of old men and women, hearing Chen Meili’s words, all began to praise him. They wondered why other people’s children were so learned, while their own grandchildren’s test scores weren’t even as high as their blood pressure.

“Xiao Han’s mother! When Xiao Han becomes a big boss in the future, you can’t forget us!” an old woman said.

“Of course! Our Xiao Han will become a big boss in the future! Those of you who watched him grow up will also get to share in his glory!” Chen Meili said this verbally, but inwardly, she was full of disdain.

“Elder Sister, since Xiao De scored so well, shouldn’t you give him a red packet to celebrate?” Chen Meili’s tone shifted, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Chen Cuifen was inwardly seething. Back when Su Yun got into college, Chen Meili had said that good grades were useless. But now? She was actively coming to ask for money!

Truly laughable!

“Hmm, I’ll give him one in a bit.” Chen Cuifen remembered she still had twenty yuan in her pocket; it wasn’t much, but it was also very little.

Seeing that her objective was achieved, Chen Meili prepared to initiate her second plan.

That was to reveal the matter of Su Yun renting a car to show off.

Conveniently, with so many people here, word would spread from one mouth to another, and everyone would know by tomorrow.

“Elder Sister, actually, I came today for something else.”

“It’s about Su Yun. You should prepare yourself mentally; don’t get too angry!” Chen Meili said with a worried expression.

Hearing this, the old men and women’s eyes no longer blurred, their legs no longer ached, and they immediately {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} perked up their ears and leaned in.

What kind of matter could make Chen Cuifen angry?

Chen Cuifen’s heart jumped when she heard this. Could it be that Su Yun’s money-making activities were illegal?

If that were truly the case, wouldn’t he have to go to jail?

As soon as she thought of this, Chen Cuifen became anxious.

“Elder Sister, don’t worry, let me tell you slowly!” Chen Meili’s heart bloomed with joy when she saw Chen Cuifen’s anxiety.

“Elder Sister, it’s actually not a big deal, and I’ll just say it out loud for everyone to hear.”

“I originally thought that although Su Yun wasn’t as good as my Han De in studies, I now find that he has significant problems even with his moral character!”

“Yesterday, my Han De drove this hundred-thousand-yuan car to Jiangcheng to have fun and ran into Su Yun.”

“Perhaps Su Yun was envious that my family provided Han De with a car, which led to jealousy and a sense of vanity.”

“He spent a lot of money to rent a car to show off in front of Han De, to satisfy his vanity and to outdo Han De!”

“He just graduated from college! He’s only been working for a month and earns about five thousand yuan, yet he spent thousands to rent a luxury car to save face!”

“Just because my family provided Han De with a car? He just had to compete, had to satisfy that bit of his vanity!”

“Doesn’t he know his family’s situation? My elder sister and my brother-in-law run this small convenience store and don’t earn much at all. You could say their family and my family are worlds apart!”

“A college student, a college student who received higher education, is actually so vain, completely disregarding his family’s situation. Alas! I really am...” Chen Meili feigned a look of deep regret, her peripheral vision occasionally glancing at the old men and women nearby.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the village’s information hub immediately began chattering and discussing!

“This Yun-wazi, he used to be so good, how did he go bad now!”

“Alas! People change once they go to the big city. How could this happen? He doesn’t think about his family at all!”

“Renting a car to show off, to save face, Xiao Yun really shouldn’t have done such a thing.”

“That’s right, even if we don’t have much money, we have what we have, and we don’t have what we don’t. We don’t need to feel inferior; isn’t it better to live a stable life?”

“This child, Xiao Yun, is ultimately not the same as before...”

The crowd chattered and discussed, growing more and more heated in their debate, eventually even elevating the matter to a legal level!

Everyone was discussing whether Su Yun would be arrested... Chen Meili and Han De wore smiles at the corners of their mouths; their goal was achieved. This was exactly what they wanted: for everyone to know Su Yun’s true colors!

“Elder Sister, I’m telling you, you really should discipline Su Yun! You shouldn’t spoil him excessively!” Chen Meili looked at Chen Cuifen and said.

The worry on Chen Cuifen’s face slowly dissipated. So, it wasn’t a matter of illegal activity or crime.

She knew Chen Meili too well; at most, only half of what she said was true.

Looking at Chen Meili’s smug expression, Chen Cuifen’s anger intensified.

She had deliberately come today to be obnoxious!

“That’s my family’s business, so you don’t need to worry about it, Younger Sister!” Chen Cuifen wasn’t a fool; she was also making her own judgments.

She guessed that Han De had gone to Jiangcheng and seen Su Yun, and since Su Yun had earned money these days, he probably bought a small car similar to his, making him think Su Yun had rented it!

Chen Cuifen felt this was likely the case and had no intention of engaging further with Chen Meili.

“No, Elder Sister, I’m Su Yun’s aunt, and he’s practically half my son. There’s no way I can just watch him go bad like this!”

“Call Su Yun now. I want him to admit his mistake personally, and then I’ll give him a good ideological education!”

Chen Meili put on a righteous front, as if she truly cared for Su Yun’s well-being.

“That’s right, Xiao Yun’s mom, when a child behaves this way, the adults should say something.”

“Hmm, otherwise, who knows what he’ll do in the future!” two old women also said.

Chen Cuifen looked helpless; she certainly wouldn’t call Su Yun.

Even if it were true, she wouldn’t.

As the saying goes, family shame should not be aired publicly, let alone a baseless rumor like this.

If she really made the call, it would be equivalent to admitting the truth of the matter, and given the speed at which these old people spread news, everyone in the village would know by the afternoon!

“Forget it, Xiao Yun is quite busy with work, so I won’t call. He might not even answer if I do.” Chen Meili tried to brush her off.

“That won’t do. I’m making the decision today; you must call today, otherwise...” Chen Meili hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly heard a shriek from Han De beside her!

Chen Meili quickly looked over, only to see Han De’s face full of excitement, his complexion flushed dark red, and his finger pointing in a certain direction!

Chen Meili quickly looked in that direction, only to see a brand new black SUV slowly approaching them...
