The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 86: Rumors Arise as a Month Passes

The next day, Zhu Zicheng brought Wang Zhaodi to the Wang Family.

Wang Zhaodi was silent the whole time, didn’t say anything, and didn’t even sit at the table, just handled a mouthful of food in the kitchen holding a rice bowl.

Liu Yulan had already come to terms with it, and said nothing about Wang Zhaodi and Zhu Zicheng’s arrival. For the sake of the kids below, she needed to maintain appearances, and the reputation of a stepmother being harsh to a stepdaughter couldn’t spread any further.

Zhu Zicheng was talkative, and after three rounds of drink with Wang Baoxing and Yang Zhigang, the three of them were chatting happily.

Zhu Zicheng didn’t even need to ask directly, just hinted a bit, and Liu Yulan started talking. She was annoyed by this nosy gossip and couldn’t help but complain, "Gangzi, is Xiao Jiang married or not? Many women in the village have been asking me about him."

"No, Mom, if people in the village ask you again, just refuse them directly." Yang Zhigang said dismissively, "Jiang Yan is a Beijing person, he won’t stay in J City for long, and naturally won’t find a wife here."

With the confirmation, Liu Yulan had plans in her heart, "Alright, next time someone has the nerve to ask me, watch me embarrass them."

"Why bother to insult them, just speak nicely." Wang Baoxing quickly advised, "It’s not worth offending people over this."

"Hmph..." Liu Yulan rolled her eyes at him and snorted, ignoring him, it’s not his place to tell her what to do.

Wang Baoxing laughed awkwardly, "Come on, come on, let’s drink, no need to involve in women’s matters."

He sighed inwardly, his wife’s temper was really something, she didn’t even give him face in front of the sons-in-law.

The two sons-in-law naturally didn’t want to stick on it and changed the topic to continue drinking and chatting.

Zhu Zicheng, however, realized that Jiang Yan was probably not within reach, but since he would eventually leave, there was no need to build connections. Right now, it’s most important to maintain a good relationship with this second brother-in-law.

After getting the information clear, Wang Zhaodi found an opportunity to tell Li Yinfeng, and Li Yinfeng went back and told Zhang Rongfa and Zhang Hongfang. Zhang Rongfa felt it was a bit of a pity, a guy from Beijing, who might leave anytime, it’s not going to work out.

But Zhang Hongfang was unwilling, why is he leaving... a person from Beijing... she couldn’t help but feel intrigued.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. On the last Sunday of October, after Frost’s Descent, the weather was gradually turning cooler.

And the new clothes that Wang Pandi made finally had their moment to shine. A beautiful trench coat highlighting Wang Miaomiao’s tall figure.

Naturally, Cheng Xue wasn’t short on money or coupons, she had Wang Pandi make her two new outfits early on, and they were all styles Wang Miaomiao had recently designed. The young girl in a little suit was spirited and stylish, attracting everyone’s attention.

Jiang Yan looked at the two approaching, his expressionless face softened slightly, but when he saw someone getting stopped, his aura couldn’t help but become oppressive again.

Wang Miaomiao was surprised to see her old acquaintance Zhou Hu stopping her, "Zhou Classmate, do you need something?"

Zhou Hu had been feeling anxious recently, he glanced at the dashing young man standing outside the school gate and mustered the courage to say, "Wang Classmate, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Wang Miaomiao slightly frowned, thinking that some words are best cleared up, so she nodded, and said to Cheng Xue, "Xiao Xue, you go ahead, I’ll be there in a moment."

Cheng Xue pouted unwillingly, intending to argue, but seeing Wang Miaomiao winking at her, she reluctantly turned and walked away, still saying, "Alright, but hurry up, don’t keep my little uncle waiting impatiently."

Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but frown slightly, wanting to scold her for her wording, how could she say "impatient waiting"? But seeing she had already skipped away and with a hassle at hand, she had to let it go for now and handle the matter here.

"Zhou Classmate, go ahead, what do you want to say?" Wang Miaomiao said while leaning against a big tree, to avoid blocking the way.

Zhou Hu followed and said, "Wang Classmate, you are still young, you should focus on your studies."

"What?" Wang Miaomiao was shocked; she thought he was going to confess, but was she mistaken?

"I’m saying, you’re still young, don’t rush to find a partner." Zhou Hu felt frustrated, his tone carried some displeasure, "What’s so good about that man? He’s quite old, and your classmate’s uncle, a whole generation apart, it’s not a good look..."

"Wait..." Wang Miaomiao quickly stopped him, seriously asking, "Who said who is my partner?"

She was a bit horrified and speechless, what kind of logic is this? Who spread this rumor? Why hadn’t she heard anything about it?

Zhou Hu looked at her disappointedly, "The class has been talking about it, and you still deny it, everyone saw it. Wang Classmate... sigh, he’s just someone with power and influence, you’re young, you won’t have trouble finding someone good in the future, why rush..."

"Stop, stop, stop..." Wang Miaomiao was about to go crazy, "Explain to me carefully, what’s the rumor the class is spreading about me exactly?"

It’s no wonder Wang Miaomiao didn’t know; she was always glued to Cheng Xue, always with her, and hardly interacted with other classmates. Only after they left would the class gossip about them.

Zhou Hu recalled the scene he saw last month, feeling quite sour, "I saw it too, you were hugging. Wang Classmate, you’re just in your first year of high school, should focus on studies."

Wang Miaomiao was furious; it was the trouble from last month, "Zhou Classmate, thank you for your reminder. But you’ve all misunderstood, he’s not my partner. That day was just an accident, I just bumped into him, and he helped me."

"Really..." Zhou Hu was a bit delighted hearing her denial, wondering if he still had a chance, but thinking about the man waiting at the gate, he looked over and found the man was still watching them from afar.

"Yes." Wang Miaomiao had a headache; this person wouldn’t directly say what rumors were spreading, but thinking about it, it’s probably those kinds of things, "When I get back, I’ll clarify in class, thank you for telling me today."

"You’re welcome, I..." Just as Zhou Hu was going to say something more, he was interrupted again.

"Miaomiao, Zhou Hu, what are you guys talking about..." Lu Xuemei walked over with a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Zhou Hu felt dejected, sighed disappointedly, "Nothing."

Wang Miaomiao, however, naturally said goodbye to them, "Nothing... Zhou Classmate, Lu Classmate, I’ll get going, see you next week."

Waving her hand, Wang Miaomiao walked away stylishly, as if those rumors hadn’t affected her at all. After all, if it’s true it can’t be faked, and if it’s fake it can’t become true, she wasn’t afraid of those rumors.
