280: Chapter 280 Expensive Dumplings

Wu Xiaoxiao hesitated a little.

She knew that Zhang Xiaofu was concerned about her, but this transaction was very important to her.

The male college student said unhappily again, "If this transaction is cancelled, we won't do business with you ever again!"

Seeing the male college student's attitude was so firm, a flicker of panic flashed across Wu Xiaoxiao's face.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, we'll do it according to your rules."

After saying that, she turned to look at Zhang Xiaofu and said anxiously, "Stop causing trouble here, just go do whatever you need to do! Don't follow me!"

With that, she grabbed the male college student's sleeve and walked towards the depths of the alley.

Zhang Xiaofu stood there stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Although his stepmother had been fierce to him before, she had never been like this.

This so-called transaction was indeed a bit too strange.

"Why are you just standing there? Keep following!"

Yang Yong egged him on from the side, "I'm also curious, what kind of transaction is so shameful? Could it be some illegal activity?"

"No way!"

Zhang Xiaofu still understood Wu Xiaoxiao.

She just liked to spend money, but her heart was still kind.

Ever since she got together with his dad, over all these years, she hadn't done anything out of line.

Much less anything illegal!

Zhang Xiaofu watched Wu Xiaoxiao's back getting further and further away, feeling extremely conflicted.

He also wanted to follow, but he didn't dare to disobey Wu Xiaoxiao.

Yang Yong noticed Zhang Xiaofu's hesitation and mocked, "You aren't scared, are you?"

Lin Xiao also looked at him with disappointment, "Sigh, Xiao Fu, why are you so afraid of your stepmother? In other families, stepsons and stepmothers are always at each other's throats, look at how cowardly you are..."

Zhang Xiaofu gritted his teeth and argued, "What do you guys know? This is called respect!"

Lin Xiao chuckled, "Then aren't you afraid that she's really doing some illegal transaction?"

"..."

Zhang Xiaofu could ignore Yang Yong's words.

But he didn't dare to take Lin Xiao's words lightly in the slightest.

Since Lin Xiao could say that, it meant that this matter was nine times out of ten true.

No.

He couldn't watch Wu Xiaoxiao go down the wrong path!

In that instant, the concern and worry in Zhang Xiaofu's heart overwhelmed his fear.

Seeing Wu Xiaoxiao's back disappear around the corner of the alley, he immediately jogged to follow.

Of course, he didn't have the guts to actually go up and stop her.

He only dared to follow secretly like this.

Once he saw clearly what Wu Xiaoxiao was doing, it wouldn't be too late to stop her.

Lin Xiao and Yang Yong followed behind Zhang Xiaofu.

The three of them followed sneakily, not daring to make a single sound.

Passing by a small shop, Lin Xiao waved his hand to signal them to go ahead and follow, saying he needed to buy something.

Zhang Xiaofu didn't dare to delay and continued following.

Yang Yong hesitated for a moment, then chose to go and see what was happening first.

In less than a minute, Lin Xiao returned.

He was holding three plastic bags and a large pack of tissues.

Zhang Xiaofu asked suspiciously in a low voice, "Brother Lin, what are you doing?"

Yang Yong was also equally puzzled.

"You'll know in a moment."

Lin Xiao didn't explain much, signaling them to continue following.

Zhang Xiaofu turned his head and realized that in the short minute he was distracted, that male college student and Wu Xiaoxiao had already disappeared!

There were too many paths in this urban village; he had no idea which alley they had turned into.

"Brother Lin, what do we do? We lost them!"

Zhang Xiaofu asked anxiously.

"Don't worry."

Lin Xiao looked around and pinched his fingers to calculate.

Pointing to one of the alleys, he said, "That way."

"Let's go!"

Zhang Xiaofu didn't dare delay and immediately quickened his pace.

Before long, they really did catch up to Wu Xiaoxiao again.

They saw Wu Xiaoxiao following that male college student into an old, self-built house.

Fortunately, the first floor of this house had already been converted into a shop, so they could enter.

However, just as they went upstairs, they saw Wu Xiaoxiao walk into a room on the second floor.

In this situation, they really couldn't follow anymore.

They could only vaguely see a woman dressed very seductively in the room.

Wu Xiaoxiao took a thick stack of cash from her bag and handed it to the woman, then took something from the woman's hand.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaoxiao didn't stay inside for too long.

About five minutes later, she came out with a fast-food takeout box in her hand.

To avoid being discovered, the three of them went downstairs first.

"Brother Lin, my stepmother isn't just buying a boxed meal, is she?"

Zhang Xiaofu looked at the takeout box in Wu Xiaoxiao's hand, even more surprised for a moment.

Lin Xiao didn't answer.

Seeing that the male college student hadn't come down, they continued to follow behind Wu Xiaoxiao.

Wu Xiaoxiao had only walked a few steps when she stopped.

She sat down casually on some steps nearby, opened the takeout box, leaned her nose in to sniff it a few times, her eyes full of hope.

Only then did Zhang Xiaofu notice that the takeout box contained a box of dumplings.

"No way, she really came to buy food? Why be so sneaky just to buy food?"

Yang Yong also looked puzzled.

Zhang Xiaofu couldn't hold back anymore and walked straight up, "Hey, hey, are you not getting enough to eat at our house or what? Why are you being so sneaky coming here just to buy a box of dumplings?"

"Xiao Fu? How did you follow me here?"

Wu Xiaoxiao was startled, subconsciously shielding the dumplings in her arms.

"If I hadn't followed you, how would I know you've become so outrageous! Even though we have money at home, it's not for you to waste like this, right? You spent so much money just to buy a box of dumplings?"

The more Zhang Xiaofu spoke, the angrier he got, pointing at the dumplings and mocking, "Don't tell me this is some limited edition too!"

Wu Xiaoxiao pulled Zhang Xiaofu over, looked around, and only after confirming that the male college student hadn't followed, did she slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"What do you know! Eating these dumplings can beautify and nourish your skin!"

Wu Xiaoxiao glared at Zhang Xiaofu reproachfully.
