Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Thereâs Nothing My Brother Canât Satisfy Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Thereâs Nothing My Brother Canât Satisfy By now, the chaos in the hospital room across had ended.
Wenyanâs anxious heart also returned to tranquility.
A moment later, Shen Jingxiu spoke up, âLetâs go.â
âGurgleâ⊠Just at this moment, Wenyanâs stomach started to sing the tune of an empty fortress strategy.
She smiled awkwardly, âHehe, I didnât eat enough at dinner.â
Shen Jinghe became sarcastic again, âPfft, glutton!â
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than his own stomach started âgurglingâ away.
The noise was even louder than that of Wenyanâs hungry stomach.
Wenyan laughed to death, âGlutton? How can you have the cheek to call me a glutton? If Iâm a glutton, then you must be a food vat, a food pool, a food river, a food sea, a food galaxy.â
Why didnât she just call him a food universe? Shen Jinghe rolled his eyes, âChildish.â
But, to be fair.
Everyoneâs dinner tonight had been interrupted after just a few bites, and then they had been caught up in such a tense situation, so it was normal to feel hungry.
Therefore, Wenyan suggested, âOur parents will probably go to the police station to assist with the investigation, we just need to get back before they do. How about we grab some late-night food on the way back? What does everyone think?â
Shen Jinghe hummed in response.
[Such a tsundere!]
âWhat about you, big brother?â
âFine.â
[Hehe, big brother is easy to talk to.]
â
Since they needed to find a place to eat, Shen Jingxiu drove the car very slowly on the way back.
These two didnât seem to have any particular preferences, so Wenyan had to choose a restaurant herself.
âOver there, do you see that wonton shop, big brother? Thereâs even a parking spot right in front. This stuff cooks quickly, and we can head home earlier after weâre done.â
âFine.â
Just before getting out of the car, Wenyan suddenly asked Shen Jinghe, âSecond brother, how about I pack a portion for you so you can eat in the car? Wouldnât it be troublesome if you were recognized?â
âWho cares!â Shen Jinghe opened the door and got out, âAm I not allowed to eat now?â
He was so hungry he could die; he would argue with anyone who tried to stop him from eating.
The three of them quickly entered the wonton shop.
To consider Shen Jingheâs identity as a big star, they specifically chose a table in the most secluded corner.
From Shen Jingheâs performance at the hospital just now, Wenyan felt that deep down, he didnât find Shen Jingxiu, the big brother, so repulsive and annoying.
It was just his personality holding back his true feelings.
Therefore, Wenyan decided to create an opportunity for the two of them.
The restaurant used long benches.
Wenyan went ahead and occupied an entire bench by herself, sitting on half of it and using her jacket to claim the other half.
Shen Jinghe quickly discerned Wenyanâs intention; he frowned but sat down opposite her anyway.
Shen Jingxiu didnât mind sitting shoulder to shoulder with Shen Jinghe, but just as he sat down, his phone rang.
âI need to take a call, Wenyan, you order for me. Iâm not picky, Iâll have whatever youâre having.â
âOkay, okay, big brother, you go ahead and take care of your things.â
[Didnât expect ice mountain big brother to be so easy to look after.]
âMiss, weâd like to order.â Wenyan waved to summon the waitress.
The moment the waitress saw her, she paused, âYou are so beautiful, miss. Are you a celebrity? I feel like Iâve seen you somewhere.â
âNo, no,â replied Wenyan, a quick wave of her hand, âIâm just here to eat wontons. Iâd like two bowls of the âFamily Reunionâ, large bowls. What about you, second brother?â
âGive me a large bowl of the fresh pork wontons,â said Shen Jinghe.
âOkay, please wait a moment,â replied the waitress.
When all three bowls of wontons had arrived, Shen Jingxiu had yet to return.
Even Shen Jinghe switched the position of the fresh meat wontons in front of him with the âHappy Familyâ wontons in front of Shen Jingxiu.
Wenyan was silent for two seconds, a bit puzzled, âExcuse me for asking, but what do you mean by this? If you liked the âHappy Family,â why didnât you just order it directly?â
âThe âHappy Familyâ contains shrimp.â
âRight, it has shrimp.â
âSomeone doesnât eat the shrimp in wontons.â
âAre you referring to Big Brother? But Iâve seen him eat shrimp at home during meals before.â
âWhat Iâm saying is, he doesnât eat shrimp thatâs mixed with the meat filling.â
â??? You know that, so you could have just said so when we were ordering.â
âI was afraid the server would recognize my voice.â After all, even Wenyan almost recognized it.
âOh, got it, got it. Iâm not criticizing you, Second Brother, but you do care about Big Brother, donât you? You can show it more. Last time in Big Brotherâs study, I noticed he still remembers you donât like to drink cold mineral water since you were young. But you didnât take the water he offered you. If youâre too shy to say it, I can tell Big Brother later that it was you who specifically switched the fresh meat wontons for him.â
âYou dare. Our matters are none of your business!â
Wenyan snorted, âFine, I wonât meddle. Stubborn as a mule.â
And not far behind them, Shen Jingxiu, who had overheard their conversation, slowly curved his lips into a smile.
He waited a few seconds before returning to his seat.
Wenyan, true to his word, didnât say anything more; Shen Jinghe also remained silent, and Shen Jingxiu was always a man of few words.
Fortunately, the wontons were really delicious, or else Wenyan might have suffocated.
â
Perhaps it was because a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
After a comfortable bath back at the Shen Family villa, Wenyan quickly fell asleep.
Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe waited until Shen Yuan and Su Yang came back to ask about the progress of the situation.
They said that if charged with fraud, they could be sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
But Shen Yuan felt the punishment was too light, especially since Wu Peng and Zhao Jing might have other crimes on their record.
So he planned to keep working on the case.
â
The next day, Wenyan woke up early and personally ran to the kitchen to make a loving breakfast for Su Yang.
Unexpectedly, Su Yang came down with a severe cold, had no appetite, and after taking some cold medicine, went to bed, feeling groggy all day.
Shen Yuan didnât even go to work that day and instructed the house servants to spend half a day getting rid of everything in the fake Shen Zhirouâs room.
Perhaps due to her bad mood, Su Yang, after taking the medicine, continued to suffer from a persistent high fever, which eventually necessitated a hospital visit for intravenous fluids.
Wenyan spent several days immersed in the hospital, keeping company with Su Yang.
During this period, the movie âLost Voiceâ wrapped up production. Shen Jinghe also finished his current work.
He had gotten used to returning to the Shen Family villa these days, especially now that Su Yangâs physical and mental state was not very good.
But he came back today specifically to find Wenyan.
âTake a look.â Once again, Shen Jinghe handed his phone to Wenyan.
Wenyan realized this guy was truly lazy; if there was a screenshot of an event, he would never describe it verbally.
âSo⊠the reporter we talked about earlier managed to find a shady factory through Chai Zhaodi, possibly involved in human trafficking and likely related to Wu Peng and Zhao Jing. However, because it crosses geographical and time boundaries, itâs hard to coordinate an investigation.â
âRight.â
âSo heâs still planning to use social media to put pressure on them?â
âYeah, but thatâs too slow. Go and report this to the old man; with a lead like this, he moves quickly.â
âWhy donât you go?â
âDonât play dumb.â
âThen I wonât go either.â
âWhatâs your price? Name it, thereâs nothing I canât fulfill.â
âI simply wonât go. If someone needs to go, you go. I have to accompany Mom, goodbye!â
[Sigh, do you think itâs easy for me to bring those two together? If I asked him for a running errand fee of say, a hundred or eighty thousand, he would probably give it to me, right? Woe is me, goodbye hundred or eighty thousand!]
