Chapter 459 Rumors Spread

Li Simin was stunned. She never expected that Shen Luojia would say she wasn't sad, but instead wanted to kiss her.

Seeing her clear and earnest eyes, and her eyes gradually reddening, I suddenly felt soft-hearted.

"Can we move a little closer before we kiss? Someone might see us here."

Shen Luojia nodded listlessly: "Okay."

Li Simin took her to a secluded place, put the things he was carrying on the ground, cupped her face in his hands, and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

He gently pulled her into his arms and said, "Don't be sad for strangers. What she said is all lies. I know Luojia is a brave, intelligent, and kind-hearted girl."

As she spoke, she gently patted Shen Luojia's back, as if coaxing a child.

Shen Luojia was stunned. The feeling of Li Simin kissing her was completely different from that of her grandmother.

Also, she really liked being held in his arms, and her mood suddenly improved.

Suddenly, she pushed Li Simin: "I want to kiss you again."

She wanted to experience it again and see exactly how she differed from her grandmother.

Li Simin smiled and leaned down to gently kiss her forehead.

The warm, smooth touch made Shen Luojia even more confused; she really liked Li Simin's kisses.

Holding his hand, she said, "It's not the same as being close to Grandma."

She'll be very happy when her grandma kisses her.

Li Simin kissed her, and she actually wanted him to keep kissing her.

Seeing that she finally smiled, Li Simin smiled too: "Are you in a better mood now? Shall we go find Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang, or go home?"

Without even thinking, Shen Luojia said, "Go find Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang, play with them. I haven't seen them today."

Although they found a secluded spot, they were still seen. Before nightfall, rumors spread that Li Simin and Shen Luojia were dating and were seen hugging and kissing in the courtyard.

...

Jiang Zhizhi and Jiang Zhenhua went back together, while Song Wanying was still sleeping.

Jiang Zhizhi went straight to the bedroom and took Song Wanying's pulse. The pulse was weaker than before, and the signs of poisoning suddenly became clear.

She was certain that if she were to get a blood test now, it would show that she had been poisoned.

Looking up at Jiang Zhenhua, she asked, "Dad, did Mom have her blood tested when she went to the doctor?"

Jiang Zhenhua shook his head: "No, no blood test was done, just auscultation."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "I'll be at the hospital tomorrow morning too. Bring Mom over for a blood test, and we'll see what's going on then."

If the toxic components can be detected in the blood, then there is a way to treat it.

Jiang Zhenhua nodded: "Okay, I'll go there early this morning. Zhizhi, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Zhizhi quickly waved her hand: "Dad, please don't say that. This is what I should do."

Jiang Zhenhua felt a pang of guilt as he thought back to what had happened: "Before..."

Jiang Zhizhi waved her hand: "Dad, I said I wouldn't bring up the past. Besides, you all genuinely loved me when I was little, and that's enough."

Jiang Zhenhua fell silent, not speaking for a long time, his heart still clenched.

He probably won't get a good night's sleep until the results come out.

After leaving Jiang Zhenhua's house, Jiang Zhizhi went to the laboratory again. Recently, there have been many changes in the laboratory personnel, so no new drugs have been developed. They are still repeatedly adjusting the dosage of some existing drugs.

Therefore, the lab work is not busy.

Jiang Zhizhi came out of the laboratory and unexpectedly saw Su Liting and Jin Kang at the school gate.

I hadn't seen them for a long time and thought they had left Beijing, but I didn't expect they were still in Beijing.

There's also Liao Guoqing around, who's been quiet lately.

Su Liting and Liao Guoqing may have had an argument, as both of them looked very unhappy.

Jiang Zhizhi glanced at them a few times. Although she was curious, she didn't want them to see her, so she quickly changed to a side road and rode her bike home.

When they arrived home, Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu were giving their two children a bath.

Zhou Xiye was packing his things; his vacation was over, and he would be reporting to his new workplace the day after tomorrow.

Jiang Zhizhi changed her clothes and washed her hands. Seeing that no one was in the living room and only Zhou Xiye was in the bedroom, she went over and hugged him, then hugged his neck and kissed him.

Zhou Xiye put his arm around her waist and let her laugh and joke for a while. Only when he heard Xiao Zhou shouting "Mom!" and "Dad!" did the two of them let go of each other.

As Jiang Zhizhi walked out, she asked curiously, "Why are you taking a shower so early?"

Zhou Xiye straightened his clothes, which had been wrinkled by Jiang Zhizhi, and followed her out: "Si Min bought a bag of honey-glazed pastries. The two of them ate them and got them all over themselves, so they had no choice but to take a shower."

Jiang Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated: "They love honey-glazed pastries the most, and they always lick them so much that they get sugar everywhere, so we never buy them any."

When the two arrived in the living room, Zhou Chengyu and Fang Hua had already carried Xiao Zhouji and Shang Shang, who had just finished their baths, downstairs.

When Shangshang saw Zhou Xiye, she called out for a hug from her dad. He's been home a lot lately, so she's closer to him.

Little Zhou could only choose his mother, and kept saying he wanted to go out and play.

Fang Hua patted Xiao Zhouji's hand: "It's already dark, are you still going out? It's time to eat and sleep, we can go play tomorrow."

Little Zhou was unhappy and twisted his little body, saying, "Mommy, let's go play."

Fang Hua explained to Jiang Zhizhi, "He Jianian built a slide and a small rocking horse at home so that the two of them could go."

Little Zhou immediately nodded: "Let's go, to the slide."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and said, "How about we go tomorrow? Let's eat now, and after we eat, Mom will tell you a story."

After coaxing him for a while, Xiao Zhouji finally agreed and happily went to eat.

During dinner, Fang Hua shared the gossip he had overheard in the courtyard with Jiang Zhizhi: "They said Si Min and Luo Jia were kissing in the courtyard."

Jiang Zhizhi looked at him with a question mark in her eyes: "No way? Si Min doesn't seem like such an immature person. He doesn't look like a young lad at all."

Fang Hua was also puzzled: "Anyway, the rumors are quite detailed, and they even say that Luo Jia is staying at their house. I hope she doesn't get pregnant before they're even married."

Pregnancy before marriage is still considered very despicable at this time.

Jiang Zhizhi still thought it was impossible: "It's probably because the two of them are getting close. But I'm sure there are a lot of people who are jealous of Brother Simin."

Fang Hua nodded: "That's right, Chen Limin is the most jealous one."

Zhou Chengzhi and Zhou Xiye couldn't get a word in edgewise about their gossip; they could only talk about the two of them.

Zhou Chengzhi then instructed Zhou Xiye: "When you go to the General Staff, do a good job. I heard that you will be given a high position, but there will be many people eyeing this position, so you can't make any mistakes."

Zhou Xiye nodded: "Don't worry."

Zhou Chengzhi thought for a moment and then added, "No matter what, don't blindly take sides. If you're unsure, come back and talk to me."

Zhou Xiye replied, "Okay."

Zhou Chengzhi felt relieved, realizing that he was still very important in this family!

As the family was having dinner, Shang Xingzhou suddenly rushed in: "Sister, sister, come quick! My sister-in-law suddenly has a stomachache, and her face is completely pale..."
