Chapter 217 Two Deceased Elders, Three Wine Cups

"No, Xia Yuhuan, you can't do this to her, you can't do this, come back, come back..." Li Rouyue shouted uncontrollably.

"No loud noises allowed. Meeting over. Let's go." Soldiers quickly came up and took the out-of-control Li Rouyue away.

Xia Yuhuan, who had already reached the prison gate, turned her head and glanced in Li Rouyue's direction.

Li Rouyue struggled, crying and begging her to let Xia Zhuyu go.

Xia Yuhuan watched helplessly as Li Rouyue was taken away and disappeared from her sight.

Then she turned her head and walked outside.

That one glance felt like the end point where two lifetimes intersected.

This ended the original owner's tragic life and also marked the beginning of her own free and unrestrained life.

Having finally helped the original owner avenge her great grudge, Xia Yuhuan was filled with joy.

Although Xia Zhuyu hasn't yet stepped into the mud, as long as the news gets out, it will be a huge blow to this pampered young lady who has never lifted a finger.

At that time, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger; Xia Zhuyu would suffer a devastating blow.

As for that Master Shi surnamed Chi, he has now been handed over to Chi Yanzhou for investigation, and she believes that the results will be available soon.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

"You've seen him? How are you?"

Yan Hu looked at Xia Yuhuan, who was standing on the steps, looking up at the sky, and asked softly.

Xia Yuhuan looked at him and smiled faintly: "It's fine."

"If it really is..." Xia Yuhuan swallowed the rest of her words and said with a faint smile, "I'm sure they would be very happy."

Swallowing those words is not appropriate to say in the current situation.

Yan Hu naturally understood.

"Let's go. Evil people will get their just desserts. The law will judge them. I'll take you home."

Afterwards, Yan Hu drove Xia Yuhuan home.

Xia Yuhuan didn't eat much that evening.

Seeing this, Chi Yanzhou was a little worried: "Why are you eating so little? Is your appetite poor?"

"No, I just don't feel that hungry." Xia Yuhuan replied with a light smile, not wanting him to worry.

Seeing that she really didn't want to eat, Chi Yanzhou didn't force her.

However, he continued to keep an eye on Xia Yuhuan afterward.

How could Xia Yuhuan remain completely unresponsive when someone was staring at her like that?

She looked at him helplessly: "Why are you staring at me like that? I'm not going to get lost."

Chi Yanzhou raised his hand and grasped her hand: "I just feel like something's off about your mood."

Xia Yuhuan thought for a moment and said, "I want to have a drink. Will you keep me company?"

Chi Yanzhou: "Okay."

He agreed without hesitation.

Xia Yuhuan went to get the wine, as well as some peanuts and melon seeds.

There was a large window next to their bed, and the moonlight was perfect tonight, so Xia Yuhuan set up a small table by the window.

The two sat facing each other, and Xia Yuhuan poured a glass of wine for each of them.

She doesn't actually like drinking, and she's not very good at it either.

But today, she felt she should have a drink with the deceased.

Then she poured wine into the three empty glasses next to her.

Chi Yanzhou watched her movements in silence.

There was surprise and confusion, but more than anything, there was silence and support.

After pouring the wine, Xia Yuhuan stood up, holding the wine glass, and raised it in a toast to the moonlight.

"Grandpa, Mom, today Xia Jianyong, that scumbag, finally got his trial. Tomorrow he will be executed by firing squad."

"You must be very excited and happy to hear this news, right?"

Original owner, you must be happy, right?

I've finally avenged you. If you know this in the afterlife, I hope you're happy and joyful there.

As Xia Yuhuan spoke, she spilled the wine from her glass onto the ground.

She offered three toasts before sitting down again.

Holding the wine glass, Xia Yuhuan said, "Let's have a drink too, to celebrate that scumbag Xia Jianyong has finally been dealt with."

Chi Yanzhou gently clinked his wine glass against hers.

"Congratulations, Ayu, you have finally avenged your great enemy."

Xia Yuhuan smiled and took a sip of wine.

Although the taste of this wine is already quite good.

However, it was still a bit spicy for Xia Yuhuan, who doesn't drink much.

She had just taken a sip when she stuck out her tongue.

She looks so cute and charming.

Chi Yanzhou chuckled: "You've put on quite a show. I thought Ayu could hold her liquor well, but I didn't expect..."

His meaningful expression made Xia Yuhuan understand the meaning behind his words, even before he finished speaking.

He was just making fun of her for being both incompetent and a playful person.

Xia Yuhuan said irritably, "I don't usually drink, but I finally settled something on my mind today and wanted to share it with my family."

However, since all her family members have passed away, she is limited in even sharing her experiences; she can only give a brief update from home, in her own room.

"Shouldn't there be two people? Why are there three wine glasses?" Chi Yanzhou asked, voicing his doubts.

He was just about to ask that question.

Xia Yuhuan paused for a moment, then said, "There's another old friend who wants to share some good news."

She stopped there, clearly indicating that she didn't want to continue.

Chi Yanzhou didn't ask any further questions: "Mm."

Xia Yuhuan and Chi Yanzhou chatted idly.

The two relaxed and chatted, and Chi Yanzhou asked about Xia Yuhuan's childhood.

Xia Yuhuan didn't avoid the topic; instead, she spoke to Chi Yanzhou with great interest.

At first, she was careful to only talk about the original owner's childhood experiences and events.

But later, as she became a little tipsy, she started to recount her own childhood memories.

"Drink, keep drinking, let's drink until we're drunk!" Xia Yuhuan said, raising her glass with a slight slur.

Chi Yanzhou looked at her drunken state with a sense of helplessness.

This silly girl, she clearly has no tolerance for alcohol, yet she still drinks.

I got drunk before I even finished one drink.

He pushed the wheelchair forward, scooped Xia Yuhuan up in his arms, and held her close.

Xia Yuhuan was drunk, her arms wrapped around his neck, her eyes glazed as she looked at Chi Yanzhou.

"You...you seem to be my husband?" Xia Yuhuan murmured, her voice sweet and charming, with a sweetness she didn't usually display.

"Yes." Chi Yanzhou supported her waist with one hand and pushed the wheelchair towards the bed with the other.

Fortunately, the distance wasn't far, so Chi Yanzhou didn't find it too strenuous.

He was about to put her on the bed when Xia Yuhuan hugged her and kissed him on the cheek.

"Honey, mine is so handsome, hehe..."

Xia Yuhuan hugged him, smiling foolishly, her eyes were hazy and unfocused, yet they sparkled.

It just looks like it's out of focus.

He looks like he's drunk.

Chi Yanzhou was both amused and exasperated.

He reached out and gently pinched her nose: "You little drunkard, it's amazing that you can still recognize your husband even when you're drunk."

He made a decision: from now on, no matter the occasion, he would never let her touch alcohol.

This person has a low alcohol tolerance, and their behavior when drunk... isn't exactly good either.

He wasn't sure if her kissing him meant she truly recognized him, or if she would kiss anyone who hugged her.

But it's still a potential problem.

The main reason was that when she was drunk, she looked incredibly charming, the kind of alluring beauty that made it impossible to look away.

She herself was unaware, yet she had stirred his heart to tremble.

He was certain that no man could resist her charm.

Chi Yanzhou placed her on the bed and, after finally managing to calm her restless movements, went to fetch water for her to wash up.

After helping her wipe her face and hands clean, he tidied himself up and went to bed to rest.

No sooner had he gotten into bed than Xia Yuhuan rolled into his arms and hugged him tightly.
