When Tie Dan came out again, the atmosphere was already relaxed. Everyone tacitly started chatting about pleasant and lighthearted topics. Lin Shufang, who hadn't fully recovered, had the restaurant deliver the food and chatted while eating.
"Wuchen is in the US with Tsumabuki Minami. They might be dating," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
Sweetie wasn't surprised at all. "I knew Mu Nan had feelings for Wu Chen, but Wu Chen never realized it. I didn't expect him to realize it this time. It's good that they're together."
Zhu Zi, who was eating with an indifferent expression, paused with her chopsticks. That stupid girl actually has a boyfriend?
She's with a man from another race; she has no taste.
Zhu Zi pursed her lips and continued eating, but her mind wandered off, thinking about many things from the past. She sat there in a daze, forgetting to eat the food on her chopsticks.
"Master..."
The little pig squealed several times, but Zhu Zi didn't react. Tian Tian slapped him, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Zi was startled, and the food on his chopsticks fell into his bowl. He glared at him irritably and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing."
"You don't have a boyfriend now, do you?"
Sweetie suspected that her brother's expression just now clearly showed that he was lovesick. He wouldn't be so engrossed in normal things; only lovesickness would make him completely forget himself.
Zhu Zi rolled her eyes. "Eat your food. Since you're going to marry this silly boy, just live your life properly and mind your own business!"
He doesn't have a boyfriend; he's a staunch bachelor.
But at this moment, his mind had lost its previous firmness. Everyone around him had a partner, even that silly girl Wuchen had found one, leaving him the only one still single. Why did this feel so unpleasant?
“My Xiaotong is a hundred times smarter than you, stop calling him a silly boy,” Ye Qingqing retorted.
Zhu Zi snorted coldly, ignored Ye Qingqing, and lowered her head to eat. Ye Tong smiled gently. He didn't care what Zhu Zi's name was at all, as long as this brother-in-law agreed to let Tian Tian marry him.
"I wonder where that bastard Hua Xiaolou is hiding," Ye Qingqing said angrily.
Tang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she asked curiously, "Hua Xiaolou is out again?"
"Yes, they've become even more inhumane. Abroad, they'd even harm three- or four-year-old girls just to kill piglets."
“How did he become like this? I never knew he was this kind of person before. You can never judge a book by its cover. Qingqing, you all need to be careful and don’t let the children go out.”
Tang Yuanyuan was furious. She had always had a good impression of Hua Xiaolou and even felt sorry for him. When she was in school, she would often bring some nourishing soup for Hua Xiaolou to help him recover. Now she regretted it. Those soups were better used to feed dogs!
"You be careful too. That bastard is like a mad dog now, biting anyone he sees. He knows you too. You've been staying home these past few days, as have Meat Pie and Meat Bun," Ye Qingqing warned, worried that Tang Yuanyuan might be targeted again.
Tie Dan was even more worried. "Captain, I'd like to ask for leave."
"Okay, your family can stay here for the next few days and not go home." Lu Mo made the arrangements.
After dinner, Lu Mo went to his study to contact his friends. He was sure Hua Xiaolou was in Pingjiang, and he was going to take the initiative to find him.
However, Fang Yanming called first, his tone very anxious, "Is Qingqing home? I'd like to ask her for a favor."
"What's wrong?"
“An hour and a half ago, a strange murder occurred on Ping’an Avenue. Fangfei examined the deceased and said it was most likely poisoning, but she couldn’t find any toxins. She wants Qingqing to help take a look,” Fang Yanming said urgently.
