Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048: 259: Grandpa Du is furious, do you no longer wish to live? (Eight updates)

Du Jiaojiao nodded her head, "It’s getting late, let’s go for dinner."

"Sure." After all, Ni Yang’s task was already fulfilled.

"This way." Du Jiaojiao linked her arm with Ni Yang’s.

Ni Yang pointed in another direction, "That way seems to be closer."

Du Jiaojiao said, "My younger brother is waiting for me over here."

"Is your big brother here too?"

"Mm." Du Jiaojiao said, "He originally didn’t want to come, but since he hasn’t left the house for several days and I find shopping by myself too boring, I dragged him along."

In reality, having the eldest Du around was the same as not having him around.

Because he hardly walked a few steps with Du Jiaojiao.

There was a rest area inside the Department Store.

With the New Year approaching, the area was filled with people.

Yet Wu Yanyun spotted Elder Du at a glance.

He was sitting amidst the crowd, with one hand holding Buddhist scripture, the other turning a page.

His pale palm was adorned with Buddha beads that, maybe due to being worn for a long time, were smooth to the point of shining like bright night pearls, dazzling under the light.

Wu Yanyun was momentarily startled, then turned to look at her reflection in the mirror.

Today she was wearing a white down jacket and small leather shoes, her hair was tidy, her face was clean, and after some time spent on self-care, the sickly and gaunt Wu Yanyun of the past was gone. Now, reflecting off the glass was a completely transformed Wu Yanyun.

She and Ni Yang were blood sisters, and she didn’t think she was much less attractive than Ni Yang at this point.

So now, Wu Yanyun had enough confidence to greet Elder Du.

Wu Yanyun turned slightly, preparing to walk over to Elder Du, but at that moment, she froze.

Because someone had beaten her to it.

It was Ni Yang.

Again, it was her!

Was she doing it on purpose?

A layer of anger surfaced in the depths of Wu Yanyun’s eyes.

Doesn’t Ni Yang already have a boyfriend? Why does she always crowd around Elder Du?

Does she really think of herself as some kind of fairy, that all the men in the world have to like her?

Wu Yanyun clenched her fists so hard her face turned white with rage.

Over here.

Du Jiaojiao, still arm in arm with Ni Yang, said: "I’m going to have dinner with the great beauty. Are you coming?"

Two girls going to eat together—if there was any private talk, having a man like him around was inappropriate anyway.

Elder Du raised his eyes slightly, "I’m not hungry, you two go ahead."

"Are you sure you’re not going?" Du Jiaojiao asked.

Elder Du shook his head, "No, I’m not going."

"Alright, then." Du Jiaojiao didn’t press further, "Well, the beauty and I are leaving."

"Go ahead." After saying this, Elder Du added, "By the way, where are you going to eat? I’ll have the driver come pick you up later."

Ni Yang said, "No need to trouble yourself, I’ll take Sister Jiaojiao back after we eat."

Elder Du didn’t stand on ceremony either.

Watching Ni Yang and Du Jiaojiao leave, color finally returned to Wu Yanyun’s face as she trotted over to Elder Du.

"Mr. Du."

Elder Du frowned slightly, "And you are?"

He had always had a poor memory for people who were irrelevant to him.

At his words, Wu Yanyun felt a moment of dejection; she had met Elder Du several times already, yet he still didn’t remember her.

Was she really that unremarkable?

"I, I’m Wu Yanyun," she said.

"Oh," having been reminded, Elder Du seemed to recall, "you’re Ni Yang’s younger sister."

Elder Du couldn’t remember Wu Yanyun’s face, but he did remember her name.

Because Ni Yang had mentioned it more than once in front of him.

Ni Yang’s younger sister?

Wu Yanyun lightly bit her lip as a surge of indignation rose within her. In Elder Du’s mind, was she merely the existence of Ni Yang’s younger sister?

No!

She wasn’t Ni Yang’s younger sister! Nor was she an accessory to anyone else—she was herself! She was Wu Yanyun!

This time, she was determined to make Elder Du remember her clearly!
