Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 683 - 679: I was Used as a Pawn

——————

"Alright, Xiao Lei, thanks for Uncle Zhou’s clothes." Yan Jinsu didn’t hold back, and hearing that it was made by Xiaozi made her even less reserved.

Xiao Lei, seeing his sister had agreed, could only obediently apologize: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Previously, when Zhou Zhenghui heard this boy repeatedly calling Third Brother as ’Second Uncle’ and Third Sister-in-law as ’Sister,’ he almost laughed out loud.

Who knew that now when it was his turn to be called ’Uncle,’ it would truly feel upsetting!

Yan Jinsu didn’t know about Zhou Zhenghui’s little thoughts, and when she saw him leave, she comforted Xiao Lei: "Xiao Lei, don’t be formal, he’s also your sister’s family, no need for formalities."

Xiao Lei nodded, hearing his sister say Uncle Zhou had become her family, and being not so young anymore, he immediately guessed Uncle Zhou might have gotten together with Aunt Zi.

"Thank you, sister." Xiao Lei still could differentiate, knowing that their kindness was out of favor towards Yan Jinsu.

"Didn’t I just say no need for formalities, why are you being formal with your sister now?" Yan Jinsu touched his little head, then as if something flashed through her mind, she grasped onto a thought and blurted out:

"Xiao Lei, do you know about Little Ya’s background?"

Earlier, she had thought, if the attacker was a child-snatcher, why spare the boy Xiao Lei but target the girl Little Ya?

From this one cause, it was clear that the attacker was targeting Little Ya!

"Background?" Xiao Lei heard this term and repeated it, not quite understanding.

Xiao Lei’s childhood memories didn’t linger, from what he remembered, he was a self-reliant orphan wandering around on his own, and meeting Uncle Fatty was a mere chance.

Therefore, he has never attended school formally, and now Uncle Fatty could send him to school, but he couldn’t sit still in the classroom, his heart worried about Little Ya, his sister at home.

Since he had never attended school and was a bit older, he could only start directly in third grade, but most of that knowledge he had already learned from Uncle Shou, making it difficult for him to fit in with peers his age.

After getting used to the coldness of human relationships and hunger, Xiao Lei really didn’t want to sit with a group of little kids and act like a good child.

Therefore, he initially didn’t understand the term ’background.’

Yan Jinsu didn’t think deeply, simply responding: "It means do you know whose child Little Ya is?"

Xiao Lei looked at his sister puzzledly, and replied unsuspectingly:

"Little Ya was picked up by Uncle Shou, when she was picked up, she was not even two years old, and has lived with us ever since."

Xiao Lei held deep affection for his sister Little Ya, without her presence, he might not have integrated into Uncle Fatty and Uncle Shou’s life as smoothly.

"Oh~" Yan Jinsu felt regret internally but didn’t show it on her face, just as she saw Zhou Zhenghui and Sister Tao coming over, she directed one to accompany the little aunt and the other to follow Sister Tao for a bath.

Yan Jinsu had just sent someone away when Sister Gui led a woman in.

From afar, Yan Jinsu watched from the windowsill and couldn’t make out the woman’s features. It wasn’t until Sister Gui ushered her in that Yan Jinsu stood up in surprise, "Sister Fan?"

It was indeed Fan Hongshan, dressed in a graceful and fresh outfit, carrying a handbag, with a hearty smile on her face, replying, "Yan, I’ve come to ease your worries."

"Sister Fan, how come you..." Although it was impolite to ask why someone had come uninvited, it was a special time for her family and anyone who unexpectedly appeared at the Siheyuan was strictly scrutinized.

It was only because Zhou Zhenghui happened to meet her and gave a nod to this wife from a side branch of the Zhou family, without much conversation due to their lack of familiarity, that Sister Gui managed to bring her in smoothly.

When Sister Gui let her in, aside from recognizing that Zhou Zhenghui knew her, it was also because Fan Hongshan seemed very understanding. She handed her handbag directly to her and then entered the room, taking off her thick coat without being asked.

She behaved openly and straightforwardly, without causing any inconvenience to Gui Jiayi.

"Yan, don’t be formal, I was just used as a tool by someone." Fan Hongshan took off her coat and let Gui Jiayi carefully check her over before calmly approaching the sofa.

Sister Gui then gave her a cup of water and stood behind Yan Jinsu.

The Xie Family and the Fan Family are related by marriage, and Yan Jinsu was still stunned for a moment before she remembered Fan Hongshan’s name.

"What is this...?"

"Yan, I had no choice but to impose on you. Hehe, mainly because I heard you were in Beijing, I was really happy and came to visit first. Now I’ll have a place to visit whenever I’m free."

Fan Hongshan spoke openly, seeing the obviously female bodyguard-like maid behind Yan Jinsu, and cooperatively sat on the sofa opposite Yan Jinsu, making a self-deprecating explanation:

"I don’t know where my sister-in-law heard that I’m your relative by marriage. She just blurted out a string of words in front of my father-in-law, forcing me to come to you for a favor— I don’t know what made her think she had such a great influence? Really thinking I’m someone of high rank."

As for what favor she was supposed to ask, it was nothing other than getting Yan Jinsu to nod in agreement to allow her sister-in-law to return to Yan Family. There wouldn’t be anything else.

This was exactly why Fan Hongshan genuinely despised Zhang Shan Ni!

"Your sister-in-law?" Yan Jinsu didn’t immediately recall whom Fan Hongshan had married. The last time Zhou Yilang accompanied her here, Yan Jinsu had just returned home and was feeling physically unwell, and hadn’t attended to the guests.

"Oh, you might remember her, the one who used to be called the ’Phoenix’ in your Yan Family, now named Zhang Shan Ni." With the same name ’Shan,’ Fan Hongshan had absolutely no affection for this in-law.

"So, it’s her. Why, did she send you here to mediate?" Yan Jinsu said quite bluntly.

Speaking of which, last time at the Old Xie Family, with Fan Hongshan’s elder sister Xie Jinghong present, Yan Jinsu always showed some deference. After all, Jiefang, the eldest son-in-law, had always been quite decent, highly approved by his own in-laws.

"No no, Yan, I did come, but not to mediate anything. I am just visiting a relative and I have absolutely nothing to do with that Zhang Shan Ni~" Fan Hongshan widened her eyes while waving her hands and giving a spirited explanation.

She had truly found a few friends with whom she could relate, and she didn’t want to give up on Zhou family because of them.

In her heart, she still didn’t consider herself a ’Zhou Family person,’ so how the Zhou family viewed her didn’t really concern her that much.

After all, she entered the Zhou family alone and will leave it just as alone, achieving peace either way. That’s her current hope, so she doesn’t take what Zhang Shan Ni wants seriously at all.
