Chapter 962: Putting on Airs

Xinyan had just hung up the phone when she heard voices outside the courtyard.

She walked out of the living room, and Han Jingheng, who was standing at the door, noticed her: "Yanyan, finished your call?"

Xinyan smiled faintly and said, "Yes, finished."

A few people standing outside the door all looked at Xinyan, including a plump woman who looked her up and down: "Jingheng, who is this?"

A tall and thin woman beside her smiled and replied first: "This is Jingchen’s daughter, I saw her before at Chaoyang’s wedding."

The chubby woman’s eyes instantly lit up: "Jingchen’s daughter has grown so big, she’s really beautiful."

After saying this, without waiting for others to respond, she continued to ask: "How old are you, do you have a partner, do you want Auntie to introduce someone?"

The calculation in her eyes was clear to anyone.

Han Jingheng, who was standing inside the door, was worried she might say something unpleasant, and his face turned cold: "Sister Xu, my niece is already engaged, no need for you to bother."

Sister Xu’s smile faded quite a bit: "Oh, that’s a pity."

Though she said this, her eyes continuously rolled around, making Xinyan feel very uncomfortable.

She turned to look at her uncle: "Uncle, my parents asked me to come over first to see if there’s anything I can help with. They’ll be here shortly."

The same tall and thin woman who spoke before laughed and said: "Your Aunt Lu is very efficient, she has the house well organized already. We thought we’d come over to help."

Han Jingheng then pointed to the woman speaking and introduced her to Xinyan: "Yanyan, this is Sister Lu from the courtyard next door to us on the east side, you can call her Aunt Lu."

Xinyan smiled politely at her: "Hello, Aunt Lu."

The Lu family’s wife was straightforward, and upon seeing the obedient Xinyan, she was very fond of her: "Yanyan, right? You rarely returned to the old house before, we neighbors aren’t familiar, but now we know each other. Come visit often.

Xinyan responded with a smile: "Sure, as long as Aunt Lu doesn’t get annoyed by me, it’s fine."

The Lu family’s wife laughed: "I wish you’d come to our house often, I wouldn’t get annoyed at all."

Han Jingheng explained with a smile: "Aunt Lu also has three naughty sons and no daughters, like your aunt. She loves pretty young girls, wants to keep them home when she sees them."

Then he pointed to another young woman who hadn’t spoken and said: "This is the Cheng Family’s younger daughter-in-law living against us on the west side, you should call her Sister Cheng."

Xinyan nodded at her and greeted obediently: "Hello, Sister Cheng."

Lastly, he introduced the Xu family member: "This one is Sister Xu who lives next to the Cheng Family, you can call her Aunt Xu."

Xinyan’s smile faded: "Aunt Xu."

No one expected what came next, the Xu family wife directly said: "Since you called me Aunt, I am your elder, I should speak to you."

This statement shocked the few people outside the door who came to see what was going on, thinking: People are just being polite to you, and you started acting superior.

Before the Xu family wife could say anything else, Han Jingheng, standing at the doorway, immediately darkened his expression and said: "Sister Xu, we in the Han family don’t need your guidance for our young lady. You should focus on teaching your own children at home."

This statement was enough to embarrass the Xu family wife.

Before she could speak, the Cheng Family’s daughter-in-law jumped in: "Since we’re not needed, we’ll be heading back first. Call if you need anything."

Sister Cheng quickly added: "Yes, we don’t want to disturb, we’ll come back to see the children after Aihong brings them back."

Once they left, Han Jingheng said: "Sister Xu, I’m sure you have a pile of things waiting for you at home, you’d better get busy."

Just then Han Hui’s voice was heard: "Yanyan, what did you bring with you, why is it so heavy?"

Upon hearing this, Xinyan turned around to walk toward the bicycle, Han Jingchen nodded to the people outside the door and also turned back to the courtyard.

The Xu family wife was so angry her face turned dark: "Pah, what a nuisance, truly doesn’t recognize good intentions, such a useless burden wearing nice clothes, really doesn’t know how to live."
