Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 257

Unfortunately, before they could exchange a few words, Sheng Fei ignored him.

Sheng Fei was clear in her mind when meeting such people. They often approached her to chat because they found her pretty.

When Sheng Fei was doing business in the county, she encountered countless people like this, many of whom were eager to strike up a conversation, similar to local ruffians. Sheng Fei preferred to avoid any excessive entanglements with them.

After looking at some clothes, Lu Ting only bought one or two items this time. He didn’t buy much.

Because Lu Ting already had plenty of clothes, most of which Sheng Fei had purchased for him. This trip was initiated by Lu Ting’s suggestion to take Sheng Fei to the county, and this allowed them to could go out and shop together.

On their way back to the county, Lu Ting and Sheng Fei planned to take the bus.

However, at the bus station, Lu Ting suddenly spotted someone passing by.

“Lu Ting, what are you looking at?”

“That person just now seemed like Zhou Qiaoyu.”

Sheng Fei followed Lu Ting’s gaze but didn’t see anyone.

“Where is Zhou Qiaoyu?”

“Maybe I was mistaken.”

At first glance, Sheng Fei didn’t notice Zhou Qiaoyu.

But when Sheng Fei looked again in the direction Lu Ting was pointing, she finally saw her.

It was indeed Zhou Qiaoyu, standing there with another man beside her.

Sheng Fei scrutinized the scene but couldn’t identify the man. She narrowed her eyes, sensing something was off.

Why was Zhou Qiaoyu with someone she didn’t recognize? After a few glances, Sheng Fei intentionally called out to Zhou Qiaoyu.

“Zhou Qiaoyu.”

When Zhou Qiaoyu and the man turned around and saw Sheng Fei, her expression turned to one of shock.

Zhou Qiaoyu’s face looked terrible at the moment. After glancing at Sheng Fei, she hastily pulled the man and quickly left.

Zhou Qiaoyu’s hasty departure raised Sheng Fei’s suspicions. Something didn’t seem right. What’s wrong? Why would she run away upon seeing them? That didn’t feel appropriate.

Sheng Fei squinted at Zhou Qiaoyu in the distance.

It was unclear why Zhou Qiaoyu fled, but her expression was definitely suspicious, almost as if she were hiding something.

Not only did Sheng Fei notice the man next to Zhou Qiaoyu, but Lu Ting also narrowed his eyes.

“Lu Ting, that was definitely Zhou Qiaoyu, right? She turned when I called her, but why did she run?”

“The man next to her looks like he’s at least twenty years older than her. How could she be with someone like that?”

Lu Ting had an impressive memory. He seldom forgot people, even those he wished to.

Now seeing a stranger beside Zhou Qiaoyu, and that who was a lot older than her, made Sheng Fei sense something was off.

What’s more, the man was unfamiliar, even to Lu Ting.

However, this was Zhou Qiaoyu’s business, and they didn’t think too much about it.

Sheng Fei pulled Lu Ting along to pick up the children.

When they arrived at their friends’ place, the five children were still playing inside. Upon spotting Sheng Fei and Lu Ting, they rushed over and hugged them.

It seemed the children were having a great time. They didn’t cry or demand to go home when they saw them. They even mentioned that the uncle and aunt here treated them very well.
