In Lin Fan’s heart, she once again scolded the Original Owner angrily, refusing to do anything at all!

She had a young and handsome husband at home, but she didn’t want him. Instead, she gave away precious things from their home!

Lin Fan resented Li Wei. She swore that she would not spare Li Wei a single penny tomorrow; she had to make up for everything she had lost!

“Don’t worry,” Lin Fan forced a smile and squeezed these words out through her gritted teeth. Then, she served Yan Shun a bowl of chicken soup. “Try the taste first. Things will work out tomorrow, trust me.”

Yan Shun was skeptical of her words, but when he tasted the chicken soup, his eyes lit up.

The next morning, as soon as Yan Shun left the military compound in his car, Lin Fan stepped out of the house.

The early birds were chirping loudly, but just as Lin Fan descended the stairs, she overheard a group of women not far ahead discussing her and Li Wei’s situation.

“Have you heard? The freeloading man that Lin Fan is keeping. He was beaten up in the alley yesterday!”

“What’s so surprising about that? When Li Wei walked out of the alley covered in injuries yesterday, many people saw it.”

“I wondered why there was no role for Li Wei in the Provincial Theater Troupe yesterday. Turns out, his face got messed up!”

“Who would’ve thought? What’s even stranger is that Lin Fan didn’t even bother to check on Li Wei! She used to be so proactive, right? If she knew, wouldn’t she be heartbroken?”

…

Lin Fan quietly approached and joined the group, eavesdropping on her own gossip.

“And then? What happened next?”

When Lin Fan’s interest was piqued, she even brightened her eyes and moved closer, hoping the others would continue.

One of them hadn’t realized yet, eagerly pointing at Lin Fan about to speak, but the next moment, their throat seemed to tighten, like they were scalded like boiling water, rendering them speechless.

“… Lin Fan?”

The rest of them all looked at Lin Fan as if they had seen a ghost, stiffening their necks.

“I suddenly remembered that I haven’t fed my chickens at home.”

“Oh dear, I forgot to hang my clothes out to dry.”

“We’re out of rice at home, I need to go buy some.”

In short, everyone quickly found an excuse and fled from the scene.

Lin Fan looked at their departing figures in astonishment, doubting herself. Was she really that terrifying?

“Lin Fan, it’s rare to see you out for an early stroll.”

A greeting came from beside her, sounding somewhat awkward.

Lin Fan did not care and followed the voice, seeing a woman around 30 standing there, her ball of yarn rolling on the ground.

She recognized this person; it was Ning Yan, the neighbor living next door. Her husband, Wei An, served as a small squad leader in the army, and both husband and wife were quite honest, although Ning Yan was easily influenced by others.

“Yeah, just taking a casual walk,” Lin Fan waved her hand and bent down to pick up the adventurous yarn. “Are you knitting a sweater? Let me help you wind the yarn.”

Lin Fan was not in a hurry; after all, she had confronted Li Wei yesterday, and she did not believe he had the energy to put on a show today. Visiting him a little later would not hurt.

Ning Yan was taken aback and was about to refuse when Lin Fan had already sat down on a nearby stool.

She had just wanted to join in on the fun here, thinking that everyone had left and she would tidy up and leave as well. However, when she stood up, the ball of yarn suddenly rolled away, forcing her to sit back down.

“It’s not much trouble; we’re neighbors, and helping each other is only natural.”

Ning Yan widened her eyes, unable to believe that these words were coming from Lin Fan’s mouth. The old Lin Fan used to hear her conversations with Li Wei and would have chased them away with a broom!

And in the next 30 minutes, Ning Yan was shocked throughout the day.

As they spent time together, Lin Fan’s temperament seemed especially easygoing. Even if it was an act, she could patiently chat with her, which seemed unbelievable to Ning Yan.

Until Lin Fan bid her farewell, Ning Yan could not react.

Lin Fan naturally headed towards the theater troupe, humming a song along the way.

On the road, she encountered Zhou Liu again. Lin Fan cast a sidelong glance at her and saw her staring wide-eyed, afraid to confront her, making Lin Fan’s mood even more joyful.

Zhou Liu watched Lin Fan’s departing figure, stomping her foot in frustration several times. She even regretted not taunting her a bit, especially since Lin Fan was definitely on her way to the Provincial Theater Troupe to find Li Wei.

But when she turned around, she saw Yan Shun not far away, and instantly, a smile played on her lips.
