"How is it not different?"
Xia Xue gave a bitter smile.
If it was as Song Yue said, then many women in the world seemed to have ambiguous relationships with Lin Fan.
If that were the case, she would be outnumbered and unable to defend herself.
"Boss Su always talks about business matters, which I don't understand. But haven't you noticed that whatever Xiao Fan says, she just listens obediently and doesn't refute a single word?"
Song Yue's eyes flickered with deep dissatisfaction.
She missed the days when she helped at the medical clinic and was in sync with Lin Fan.
It was a pity that Xia Xue was wary of her and refused to let her go to the clinic again.
Who would have thought!
After she, Song Yue, left, Su Yurou arrived.
She had been observing carefully when they were talking.
Su Yurou's attitude was truly thought-provoking.
In a normal cooperative relationship, Lin Fan was at most a technical worker, or a small shareholder with technical investment. He would never be in a position of authority.
But in every matter, big or small, Su Yurou only nodded, and everything was decided by Lin Fan.
It would be strange if there was no secret there!
"Professional matters should be left to professionals. Han boss, being a woman, has managed to build such a large business, and it's not without reason," Xia Xue said.
"Xue'er jie..." Song Yue sighed helplessly.
"I have my own plans. Don't worry, I watched Xiao Fan grow up. He won't cause any major trouble." Xia Xue's gaze was as calm as water, filled with strong confidence.
Song Yue had nothing more to say.
No matter how many women Lin Fan had outside, he would eventually marry Xia Xue.
She believed this one hundred percent.
But thinking that she was being watched by Xia Xue all day, while Su Yurou and Wang Ying, those two vixens, could be intimate with Lin Fan, she was so jealous she could go mad.

"Xiao Fan, does your sister-in-law not like me?" Wang Ying asked glumly as soon as they got into the car.
"No, she doesn't," Lin Fan shook his head.
Wang Ying pouted her little mouth and said aggrievedly, "During dinner, your sister-in-law kept asking if I was busy with work and said the weather was bad and the dirt road was difficult to travel. Wasn't she trying to drive me away?"
"My sister-in-law was just concerned about you," Lin Fan comforted her with a smile.
"Alas." Wang Ying sighed softly. "I only intended to see you today, so I didn't bring a gift for your sister-in-law. I'll make up for it with a generous gift next time."
"You're overthinking things," Lin Fan said, stroking her little head.
"Hmph," Wang Ying snorted coquettishly.
"You're an official, and our family has been honest farmers for generations. There's a big gap between us. My sister-in-law must be very reserved around you," Lin Fan said.
Wang Ying was displeased. "Who has a gap with you? My dad also came from the countryside, and my grandfather used to feed cattle for a landlord."
"Alright, alright, I misspoke."
The two of them playfully bickered, laughing and joking, and soon Wang Ying's mood brightened.
It was very close to Luofeng Village, and in a few minutes, the three of them arrived at the medical clinic.
A tricycle was parked at the entrance, and two elderly people wearing raincoats were talking quietly to each other.
Wang Ying got out of the car, and the smile on her face instantly disappeared.
"Xiao Fan, you have patients who have come to see you."
"Mm."
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel sympathetic.
The sky was overcast, and it might rain at any moment.
The two elderly people arriving at this time must have serious ailments, not just minor headaches.
"We'll be going back now." Wang Ying was dejected. She had finally come for a visit, and just as they were about to attend to important matters, someone had arrived seeking medical treatment.
"I'll come find you to play when I have time," Lin Fan waved his hand.
"Okay, remember to take care of yourself." Wang Ying was reluctant to leave.
Lin Fan felt helpless. It was a rare day off, and how wonderful it would be to be close to her on a stormy night!
But since a patient had arrived, he couldn't afford to be lazy!
"Goodbye." Su Yurou poked her head out of the car window, waving incessantly, her face filled with reluctance.
"Goodbye." Lin Fan watched until the car gradually drove away and disappeared around the corner at the village entrance, then he turned around.
"Xiao Fan, who were those two beautiful girls?"
A somewhat familiar voice suddenly came.
"They..." Lin Fan was extremely surprised. xxs1
It wasn't strange for patients to know his name, but calling him Xiao Fan directly was too peculiar.
He had no relatives in Luofeng Village, and this voice didn't sound very familiar.
"Uncle and Aunt???"
Lin Fan's mind buzzed.
The visitors were actually Xia Xue's parents, Xia Xiangqian and Xia Cui'e, a couple!
His mind raced, recalling whether he had done anything out of line with Wang Ying and Su Yurou just now.
Fortunately!
Wang Ying had intended to jump into his arms for a kiss goodbye.
He had refused, fearing it would be inappropriate in broad daylight.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness."
In an instant, from hell to heaven, Lin Fan subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had almost been scared out of his wits.
These were his future in-laws! If he had been caught red-handed in any way, he would be finished!
"Xiao Fan, what are you talking about?" Xia Xiangqian pushed aside the brim of his hat.
It had just rained, and the wind had picked up again. It was really too cold outside.
Because the couple was wearing hooded raincoats, Lin Fan hadn't recognized them at first.
"No wonder you two elders were waiting outside. Please come in and sit down."
Lin Fan quickly took out his key to open the door. "Did you not tell my sister-in-law? She doesn't seem to know?"
"No," Xia Xiangqian shook his head.
"We went to your house. The new house is built nicely," Xia Cui'e said with a smile.
"Oh." Lin Fan then remembered that his old house had been demolished and had not yet been rebuilt. His sister-in-law was staying with Song Yue.
The elderly couple must not have found the place, so they were waiting at the entrance of the medical clinic.
"Come in, come in. I'll start a fire for you. Or should we call my sister-in-law to come over first?"
Lin Fan busied himself nervously.
How many years had it been since his sister-in-law's family visited?
No, these two had opposed their daughter's marriage back then and hadn't even attended the wedding.
It should be said that this was their first time visiting Luofeng Village.
The phone was connected.
Lin Fan spoke rapidly, "Sister-in-law, Uncle and Aunt are here."
"Whose Uncle and Aunt are you talking about?" Xia Xue was washing dishes and didn't react immediately.
"Your dad and mom!" Lin Fan paced to the corner and lowered his voice.
"Really?" Xia Xue was stunned.
"Yes, they are at the medical clinic now. Hurry up and come over."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Xia Xue was very anxious. Her instinct told her that something major must have happened at home.
Otherwise, with her father's stubborn temper, he wouldn't easily come to the Lin family's door.
"Xiao Yue, you tidy up first. I'm going to the medical clinic."
The phone call ended.
Xia Xue pulled off her apron and rushed out.
"Xue'er jie, slow down," Song Yue reminded her.
