Chapter 10 - A Greedy Aunt

Walking out of the convenience store, Yu Shi Lan walked back to her own apartment and saw an aunt stopping her.

"Aunt Lin Hua?" Yu Shi Lan asked in confusion.

"Girl, you better not go back. Your Aunt Wang come back and is looking for you. She come around three hours ago and after seeing that you're not present, she asked the manager to open up the door for her," Aunt Lin Hua explained with helpless and worried tone.

Aunt Wang is Wang Kai Tan's older sister.

She's a greedy woman who was divorced and often made trouble to her younger brothers, including her adoptive parents. Because they managed to get Yu Shi Lan's father pension, she often came here to make trouble.

'No wonder Wang Kai Tan and Su Wan Rou were in such a hurry to leave.'

They were trying to avoid this 'plague.'

In her previous life, she had already fainted from fever during this time, so Yu Shi Lan didn't know anything. But perhaps Aunt Wang was in the apartment and was also buried for a long time.

In any case, Yu Shi Lan didn't remember seeing the other party in her first life after the world had changed. 

"Thank you for your reminder, Aunt Lin Hua," Yu Shi Lan said earnestly. Without Aunt Lin Hua's reminder, she might end up bumping onto that annoying woman. 

Thankfully, she didn't have anything that she wanted to bring with her from her room.

She was so poor that her only belongings were nothing more than her study supplies and small amount of pocket money. She didn't want to bring her study books and the money was more than enough, so there was no need for her to go back anymore.

With that in mind, Yu Shi Lan calmed down.

"How about if you stay in my apartment during this period of time, Little Girl?" Aunt Lin Hua asked kindly. "When she left in the morning, you can go back."

Aunt Wang might like to take advantage of her younger brothers, but she would not stay that long.

After a night of not being able to take advantage of the other party, she will definitely leave. 

Yu Shi Lan blinked her eyes and then said, "Aunt Lin Hua, I heard that there will be an emergency training tonight. Lin Mei Bao is still so young that he might not feel comfortable. How about if you stay with your husband instead of staying here?"

"But…" Aunt Lin Hua looked outside and saw that it was already dark.

"Aunt Lin Hua, please listen to me," Yu Shi Lan said earnestly.

Aunt Lin Hua looked at the young girl in front of her who seemed to have changed. In the past, Yu Shi Lan was so timid that she would always lower her head when talking with other people, not daring to look at them in the eyes.

But now, Yu Shi Lan's earnest look was presented in front of her directly. 

Aunt Lin Hua's husband is a soldier and there was also a family compound in the military base, but Aunt Lin Hua didn't like staying there because her neighbor was noisy. So she chose to rent this apartment and stayed with her son.

"Alright, I'll stay in the military base," Aunt Lin Hua finally said and then added, "But you have to be careful yourself, Shi Lan. If you have nowhere to stay, you can stay in the school dormitory instead of going to see your aunt."

"Yes." Yu Shi Lan nodded heavily.

After saying a few more words, Aunt Lin Hua left and Yu Shi Lan looked at the woman's departing back with a sigh.

Aunt Lin Hua was one of the few kind neighbors around her.

In the past, Yu Shi Lan was too stupid to realize the other party's kind intention and reminder. But after going through so much in life, Yu Shi Lan could slowly realize who were truly good to her and who were only thinking about using her.

'Now, I better set that up quickly.'
