Chapter 390 Who sent the cookies?
Although she knew all along that this matter had nothing to do with Howard, Chun Ya's heart was completely at ease when she actually saw Howard.
She asked, "Will the police still contact you in the future?"
"No way, everything has been investigated and cleared up. That girl committed suicide because she couldn't think straight. Her situation has nothing to do with anyone else," Howard said.
A smile bloomed on Chun Ya's face: "That's wonderful."
She looked at her mother and said loudly, "I told you long ago that this has nothing to do with Howard. Now you know the truth?"
Chun Ya's mother frowned and could only leave reluctantly.
She never expected that Howard would come back unharmed.
She knew that rumors had been circulating that he had gotten into trouble, and she had actually believed them.
After everyone left, Chun Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief. She said somewhat helplessly, "There have been rumors outside that something happened to you, and the villagers believed it. My mother believed it too, which is why she came over. But you don't need to pay attention to her. You don't need to ignore whatever she says."
Howard had basically guessed what was going on, but he said good-naturedly, "Okay."
Chun Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled Howard aside and began to ask him about the interrogation process, mainly to find out if Howard had suffered any hardship.
"I heard the interrogation methods are very strict. Were you beaten? Did they torture you?" Chun Ya asked nervously.
Howard couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course not. They just asked me some questions, some of them were quite tricky and they asked very detailed questions. But I wasn't involved in this matter, so I wasn't worried. After the interrogation, they released me."
Chun Ya nodded: "I see. It seems I was thinking too pessimistically."
She held Howard in her arms, feeling so relieved that he was alright.
They can be together again.
She is no longer the widow they were talking about.
She hadn't realized how deep her feelings for Howard were before, but after this incident, she discovered that she truly loved him.
She was indeed very satisfied with this marriage.
After Huo Hua's matter was resolved, Huo Chenzhou returned.
After learning that Huo Hua was alright, Huo's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Howard has had a lot of troubles since he was born. I was very worried about him, but now that I see he's alright, I'm relieved."
Shen Zhixia said, "Mom, don't worry. This is the last setback he'll experience. After this, things will go smoothly for him from now on."
Perhaps it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, because after Shen Zhixia said those words, Huo Hua really didn't have any more problems.
That day, when Shen Zhixia opened the door, she saw a bag of cookies placed at the door. It was a very small bag of cookies, but it had never been opened.
Just then, Zhang Weihong came out, and Shen Zhixia's eyes met hers. She asked, "Sister-in-law Zhang, did you give this to me?"
Zhang Weihong shook her head: "No, I just came out, I haven't given you anything."
That's really strange.
Who sent these cookies?
Shen Zhixia thought that perhaps it was given by Huo Chunyan, but why didn't Huo Chunyan tell her?
She was busy at work and didn't think much of it. After she got off work, she went to find Huo Chunyan, only to find that Huo Chunyan denied it outright: "I never gave you any cookies."
She added, "Baojun has never given you cookies either. You know, if we were to give you cookies, we would definitely tell you."
Shen Zhixia was also confused at this point: "Then who sent these cookies?"
Huo Chunyan was also at a loss.
She thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't know who gave you these cookies, you must not eat them. I know that some enemies send things like this and then put poison in the cookies. If you eat them, you're doomed."
Huo Chunyan's words sounded terrifying, but after thinking about it, Shen Zhixia didn't think she had such an enemy. She did have enemies, but none of them were in the military camp.
Shen Zhixia said, "These cookies are unopened, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Huo Chunyan said, "Anyway, you still need to be careful and make sure nothing happens."
Although Shen Zhixia disagreed with Huo Chunyan's words, she still said, "Fine, I won't eat it."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chunyan nodded: "It's best not to eat it."
Shen Zhixia wasn't just saying it; she really didn't eat any and put the cookies away. That evening, she didn't tell anyone about it, since she didn't think it was a big deal.
If someone were to send her cookies, she thought that person would eventually show up.
These days, cookies are expensive; it's impossible that someone accidentally dropped one at her doorstep.
Strangely, the next day, there was another bag of cookies at her door.
That's so strange.
This time, Shen Zhixia told Huo Chenzhou about it and asked him to find out if it was a gift from his friend.
After saying that, she put the bag of cookies away.
Huo Chenzhou also asked around, but still no one admitted that the cookies were a gift from them.
The cookies seemed to appear out of thin air.
Huo Chunyan then remembered something: "I heard that some people used this method to pursue girls in the past, constantly leaving cookies and candies at her door to attract her attention. Sister-in-law, could it be that someone has a crush on you?"
Shen Zhixia: "?"
Huo Chenzhou's face darkened.
Huo Chunyan thought it was possible: "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful, it's quite possible that someone is pursuing you."
Shen Zhixia said, "If I hadn't gotten married, then maybe it would have been possible. But now I'm a mother of two, and everyone knows I'm married. How could anyone possibly pursue me?"
But after Huo Chunyan said that, she realized that this method really did sound a bit like how people pursue each other.
Shen Zhixia joked, "Then why don't you say that someone is pursuing Shen Zhou?"
Huo Chunyan glanced at Huo Chenzhou, then shook her head and said, "Impossible, who would have the guts?"
Huo Chenzhou is actually very handsome, but his aura is so strong that it makes people afraid of him. Before marriage, no woman would dare to pursue him, otherwise she would always feel like she would get punched by him.
Upon hearing this, Huo Chenzhou's expression became even more serious; he took these words to heart.
If someone really is pursuing Shen Zhixia...
This person must think he's dead.
He will definitely not let that person get away with it.
After Huo Chunyan left, Huo Chenzhou's face was dark.
Shen Zhixia couldn't help but laugh and said, "That was just Chunyan's guess. Did you really take it seriously?"
