“That guy Tang Chuan talks without thinking first and says anything. Don’t take it to heart too much.”
“What if I take it to heart? Then what?”
“Eh…” Su Yu didn’t know what to say.
Huo Mian burst out laughing.
Huo Mian hadn’t laughed so happily since Qin Chu had gotten into trouble.
Her bright smile instantly warmed up Su Yu’s heart.
“I was just kidding. I’ve known him for so long, of course I know what kind of person he is. I won’t take it personally. Also, Young Master Tang didn’t say much.”
“That’s good.”
“Are you also coming to the kitchen to get some rice? I’ll get it for you.”
As she was speaking, she moved to get Su Yu’s bowl.
“No, it’s fine. I’ll get it myself.”
Su Yu was dazed as he scooped a little bit of rice and walked out.
Everyone seemed to be having a nice chat.
Huo Mian was a pretty good chef. She also prepared fruits for everyone after dinner.
They hung out until 10:30 PM; it was getting late, so people started to leave.
Before leaving, Huo Mian called Jiang Xiaowei over to have a one on one chat for a little bit.
After Jiang Xiaowei walked out, Wei Liao vaguely felt that her mood didn’t seem right.
Maybe other people weren’t paying attention, but Wei Liao was Jiang Xiaowei’s husband. After living together for a long time, they had a subtle-telepathic connection.
So on the way home, Wei Liao sat opposite from Jiang Xiaowei and said, “Honey…”
“What?”
“What did you guys talk about when Huo Mian called you over?”
Jiang Xiaowei paused a little and said calmly, “Nothing.”
Then she looked down and continued playing a game on her phone.
“Then why do I feel like there’s something wrong with your expression?”
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xiaowei looked up at Wei Liao.
“I can’t describe it. I just feel that you are holding something in your heart.”
“So now after being exposed to it, you want to learn psychology from me? And you are also trying to read people’s minds like I do?”
“No, it was just a feeling. Also, I might have sensed it wrong. Ha, it’s okay, I was just asking.”
“Mhm.”
“So is Huo Mian going to rely on Mr. Su to release Qin Chu for medical treatment?”
“Any other suggestions then?” Jiang Xiaowei asked back.
“Nothing, Mr. Su’s grandpa is so powerful. Releasing someone should be fine. But this will be reliant on how hard Mr. Su tries.”
After saying this, Wei Liao fell silent.
Jiang Xiaowei didn’t chat with him like usual, and she just kept looking down at her phone and the game.
When Zhu Lingling left with Gao Ran, she started to feel panicked as well.
“Gao Ran, why do I have the feeling that Mian was acting a little strange today?” asked Zhu Lingling.
“Was she? I felt she was the same as usual, chatting and laughing.” Gao Ran looked at Zhu Lingling.
“Something’s wrong. Based on my understanding of Mian, a reaction like today’s is definitely not right. It’s going to be Qin Chu’s second trial soon, she shouldn’t be this relaxed. No, I need to talk to her.”
Afterward, Zhu Lingling looked down and started to send WeChat messages to Huo Mian.
“Lingling, are you overreacting? Perhaps Huo Mian knows that Qin Chu will be fine, or maybe she already found a solution, and that’s why she looked relaxed.”
“Definitely not that. I’m her best friend, I can sense it. Something is wrong. Something’s really wrong.”
Zhu Lingling still felt a little panicked.
But she couldn’t describe what that was.
In a word, today’s gathering wasn’t really happy.
After a week, the second trial took place as scheduled.
Everyone came on site. Huo Siqian and Mayor Song were present too.
When Qin Chu was brought up, Huo Mian smiled at him with a beautiful smile.
Today, Huo Mian wore a simply-designed white dress with princess sleeves. Simple but also gorgeous.
Qin Chu’s gaze never left her… he missed her so much.
He had no idea what would be waiting for them after today’s trial.
