Chapter 365 Happiness, My Son Actually Speaks Up for Me?!
Nan Xia gave a stiff smile, unsure of what to say. However, Madam Song had been quite kind to her. When she was hospitalized, Madam Song would bring her meals every day and take good care of the two children, showing her great concern and care. Having a mother-in-law like that was pure bliss.
“Look, you and Yanzhi already have two children. In his entire life, he has never been interested in any other woman but you. He is absolutely loyal to you. I hope you will think it over carefully,” Madam Song said to her again.
"Mmm," she replied.
When Mrs. Song saw her nod, she was overjoyed. There must be a chance. She also had to thank that man surnamed Lu for sleeping with her assistant.
Half an hour later, Nan Weiwei arrived with fruit. Seeing so many guests at her sister's house, she felt a little uncomfortable. Shen Yan was even cooking in the kitchen. After putting down her things, she asked:
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Nan Xia was about to say no, but Shen Yan spoke up first, "You can come and help wash the vegetables."
"Hmm." She walked over and, seeing that the three children weren't in the living room, asked him, "Where are Xiaoyan and Zhouzhou?"
“He should be playing games in his bedroom,” he said.
"Oh." Nan Weiwei responded and went over to help. Nan Xia looked at the two of them working together in the kitchen, and that awkward feeling in her heart rose up again.
Shen Yan chopped vegetables with deft movements, the blade making a crisp sound as it sliced through the ingredients. Nan Weiwei stood to the side, her slender fingers carefully sorting through the greens, occasionally handing him a piece of ginger or a spoonful of salt.
The two didn't say much, but there was an inexplicable unspoken understanding between them.
Especially when Shen Yan looked up and reminded her to "be careful not to splash water on your sleeves," the natural familiarity in his tone made Nan Xia frown involuntarily.
How come they're already so compatible after such a short time? Are they secretly dating?
"Is Shen Yan dating Xia Xia's sister?" Madam Song asked her son, who was sitting next to her, in a low voice.
"He's probably pursuing her."
Song Yanzhi had always suspected that Shen Yan's agreement to provide the account book was due to some kind of deal with Nan Weiwei; he wouldn't give away something so important for nothing.
However, I shouldn't expose him; this is between him and Weiwei.
"How are you planning to avenge the Nan family? Help them if you can, and get this settled quickly. Maybe then your marriage will be settled," Song Jinchen said to his son in a low voice.
"In a few days, Chen Yan will give Ruifeng's account book to Nanxia," Song Yanzhi said, leaning back on the sofa with his long legs crossed.
He had previously heard from Nan Xia and her sister about how to resolve the Shen family's situation. Now that he was helping, once he obtained the account books, there was no need to sue the retired Chief Prosecutor Zhang, as the process would take too long.
With the Song family's influence, I believe they will be able to thoroughly investigate Shen Shaohui soon.
The Song couple were both surprised. That brat Shen Yan was going to betray his father? Wouldn't Shen Shaohui be furious? But that old man was so wicked, he deserved to be furious.
-
In a quaint teahouse.
Shen Shaohui was led into a private room by a waiter. After the door closed, he put his hands behind his back and looked at the woman sitting there with some impatience, asking:
"What do you want to say to me?"
"Chairman Shen, I have one more condition. If you help me complete this first, I will help you lure Nanxia out," Duan Xue said bluntly, without beating around the bush.
Shen Shaohui had been trying to capture Nan Xia and the three children for some time, but they were surrounded by too many bodyguards, so he hadn't had a chance.
He didn't know what methods Nanxia would use to retaliate against him next.
He had checked the woman's identity; she was Lu Qinghe's assistant. That man was currently living in Nanxia's house. With the help of these two, it would be a piece of cake!
"What are the conditions?" he asked, sitting down at the tea table.
"Help me teach Song Yanzhi a lesson. I really hate that man." Not to mention President Lu hates him, Duan Xue also despises that man.
Shen Shaohui frowned. He only wanted to get rid of Nan Xia and Nan Weiwei as soon as possible. If he provoked Song Yanzhi now, the Song family would definitely retaliate.
"Let's deal with Nanxia first. Once we've dealt with her, I'll teach that Song Yanzhi a lesson for you."
"No, we need to teach that man a lesson first, otherwise I won't help you lure Nanxia out." She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said in a deep voice.
Shen Shaohui glanced at her and could only agree: "...Okay."
"Then I'll wait for Chairman Shen's good news." She said with a smile, pouring him a cup of tea.
-
Before long, Shen Yan came out carrying a pot of hot pot broth, and the rich aroma instantly filled the entire living room. Xiao Yan, Zhou Zhou, and Qiao Qiao, drawn by the fragrance, ran out of the bedroom and started shouting around the dining table:
"It smells so good! Uncle Chen is amazing!"
"If it smells good, then you should eat more later," he said with a smile to the three children.
"The food is ready, you can go back now," Nanxia called to him.
Shen Yan looked at her, but didn't shamelessly insist on staying any longer. He just pitifully replied, "...Okay, come and eat quickly. I hope it suits your taste."
Actually, I'm happy to cook a meal for them.
He went to the sofa to get his coat, preparing to leave. Nan Wei looked at her older sister, a look of surprise flashing across her face... She was just letting him leave after finishing cooking?
I thought my older sister had invited him to eat here, but it turns out she just wanted him to cook.
Seeing that her aunt was really going to make her father leave, and looking at her father's pitiful figure, Xiao Yan felt some sympathy for him. She immediately went over and grabbed her aunt's hand, saying...
"Auntie, please let Uncle Shen stay for a meal, considering how long he's been working. You're so beautiful, kind, and likable, you're probably just testing him, you won't really send him away, right?"
Upon hearing his son's words, Shen Yan turned around, quite excited, as this was the first time he had heard his son speak up for him.
That little guy used to be so cold to me.
"..." Nan Weiwei looked at her son, somewhat surprised. That kid actually spoke up for Shen Yan?
"Look at your sweet talk. If I didn't keep him, it would seem like I'm not beautiful and kind-hearted," Nanxia squatted down and asked the little guy with a smile.
“Of course not. Even if Auntie didn’t keep him, you’re still beautiful and kind-hearted,” Xiaoyan said earnestly.
Nan Xia ruffled the boy's hair, looked at the man who had walked to the door, and said to him, "For Xiao Yan's sake, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"
“Okay.” Shen Yan appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly excited. He certainly didn’t need the food; he just wanted to get Nan Xia’s forgiveness as much as possible.
During the meal, Lu Qinghe, who was originally out of place with them, deliberately put on a thicker face. Right in front of the Song family, he placed a piece of tender, fatty beef roll on Nan Xia's plate in her white porcelain bowl, his tone deliberately gentle:
"Xiaxia, this sliced beef only needs to be cooked for ten seconds. You just got out of the hospital, so eat more to help you recover."
His actions displeased Song Yanzhi and the Song couple. At this point, why did he still want to snatch it?
Lu Qinghe ignored their displeasure and picked up the serving chopsticks again, intending to pick up some shrimp paste for her, but her wrist was firmly held down by a hand with distinct knuckles! Song Yanzhi's eyes were as cold as ice:
"Mr. Lu, didn't you know that Xiaxia doesn't like shrimp paste?"
