"good."
Before they knew it, the whole family was seated at the table and had set out their bowls and chopsticks.
Zhao Haiyin and Grandma Xie's cooking skills are truly superb, with dishes that are perfect in color, aroma, and taste, and they are comparable to those of chefs in high-end restaurants.
As a key person receiving special attention, Shen Zhihuan's bowl was never empty.
The four people at the table took turns serving her food, determined to fill her belly until it was round and full.
As Shen Zhihuan touched her noticeably chubby face, she couldn't help but sigh, "What a happy problem!"
When Xie Lanshen was serving food, he casually added some pig's trotter soup to her bowl. Seeing that Shen Zhihuan was somewhat lost in thought, he spoke to her in a low voice.
"If you're still in a bad mood, how about we go for a walk after dinner to help with digestion?"
Shen Zhihuan snapped out of her daze and whispered to him.
"I'm fine with taking a walk, but it's not that I'm in a bad mood. I'm just thinking about the girl we ran into on our way back."
This was the second time she had met Qiu Shanshan.
Although they didn't know each other, for some reason, Shen Zhihuan always felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Qiu Shanshan's eyes.
I have a feeling that there's something wrong with this person.
Shen Zhihuan even made a special effort to inquire with the neighbors and confirmed that Qiu Shanshan always went to the tenement to look for Wen Jun and Cao Tongwen.
They are not related by blood, but are young people of marriageable age, yet they always seem to be drawn together.
To say there's nothing fishy going on between them would be a lie.
This is also why Shen Zhihuan has always insisted that Cheng Wan's accident was not an accident, but a deliberate act of murder.
She wasn't exactly a person who hated evil, but no woman could stand to see her husband collude with his mistress to almost kill his wife.
Not to mention, the one who was hurt was Cheng Xiangling's own sister.
For both emotional and rational reasons, Shen Zhihuan did not want to sit idly by and do nothing about this matter, but the only thing that worried her was...
All of this was just her speculation; they didn't have any concrete evidence.
Seeing that Shen Zhihuan seemed troubled, Xie Lanshen continued to inquire.
"You think there's something wrong with that girl? Can the police investigate in that direction?"
Shen Zhihuan nodded and then told him all her considerations.
It's so easy to talk to smart people. Xie Lanshen followed her words and quickly figured out most of the details.
"I see."
He frowned, a sharp glint flashing in his deep eyes.
"I'll go see Guo Bin tomorrow and relay what you said to him. I'll ask the police to investigate from multiple angles, and maybe we'll get a different result."
-
Song Xunying and Cheng Yuanfang have been staying by their daughter's bedside for several nights in a row. Their eyes are bloodshot and they look quite haggard.
Cheng Xiangling felt sorry for her sister and worried about her parents' health, so she volunteered to stay.
"Let me keep watch tonight. I'll take good care of my sister!"
Although she was quite reliable, she was still a young girl, and Song Xunying and Cheng Yuanfang were somewhat worried about her.
"It's okay, don't worry about Mom and Dad. We can manage. Xiangling, be good. You can come and take care of Wanwan tomorrow morning."
"Dad, Mom..."
Cheng Xiangling called out to the two of them with a worried expression, and was about to continue to persuade them when Song Mingqian stopped her.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Xiangling is right. After spending so many days in the hospital, your physical condition is almost at its limit. You must go back and catch up on your sleep and rest. Don't let Wanwan not recover before you two collapse."
"As for the hospital, you don't need to worry. I'll stay here with Xiangling tonight to keep watch."
Song Xunying and Cheng Yuanfang exchanged a glance, still somewhat hesitant.
"Your vacation wasn't long to begin with, and since you came back you've been running around for Wanwan's sake. It's too much for you to stay up all night."
"It's fine."
Song Mingqian shook his head, trying to reassure them.
“Wanwan is so sick right now, even if I go home, I won’t be able to rest well because I’m worried about her, so I might as well stay here and take care of her.”
After much persuasion, Song Xunying and Cheng Yuanfang were finally convinced to go home and rest.
The once lively ward suddenly fell silent. Cheng Xiangling lay by the bedside, her eyes lowered, filled with worry.
"I don't know when my sister will be fully recovered. She had already woken up once before, but I didn't expect her to fall into a coma again."
“Uncle, you’ve been to the hospital so many times, but my sister hasn’t been able to see you. I’m so worried about you.”
Song Mingqian also pulled up a stool and sat down on the edge of the bed. Knowing that Cheng Xiangling was feeling down, he gently patted the top of her head.
"When the doctor came to check on her, didn't he say that Wanwan's various indicators were already improving?"
"Good people are always protected by heaven. Wanwan will definitely be alright. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Yes, I know."
After hearing her uncle's words, Cheng Xiangling finally managed to cheer up a little.
"Instead of being sad here, we should think about how to deal with that Wen family mother and son and avenge our sister!"
If only she were someone who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was in excellent physical condition, she would definitely go and give Wen Jun and Cao Tongwen a good beating to vent Cheng Wan's anger.
Song Mingqian couldn't help but laugh at their childish remarks.
The coldness in his eyes, hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses, remained undiminished.
"Taking action is not advisable. Our family is in the right in this matter concerning Wanwan. What we need to do now is to first get Wanwan completely free from the Wen family, and then collect evidence of domestic violence and murder committed by the mother and son in the Wen family, and send them to jail."
"Now I just hope that Wanwan can get a divorce smoothly after the appeal."
As the two were discussing their current situation, Cheng Wan, who was lying on the hospital bed, saw her eyelashes tremble slightly and slowly open her eyes.
"Hmm..."
The prolonged coma had left her somewhat sluggish. Cheng Wan stared at the pale ceiling for a moment before turning to look at the two people guarding her bedside.
"elder sister!"
As soon as Cheng Xiangling met her gaze, she couldn't help but burst into tears and rushed over to hug her neck tightly.
"You're finally awake! We were so worried about you."
Cheng Wan instinctively hugged her younger sister and gently ruffled her hair.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly caught sight of the person standing next to her. She was startled, then exclaimed in surprise.
"Uncle, you're back."
Song Mingqian looked Cheng Wan up and down and saw that although she was still sickly, her condition was obviously much better than when she was first hospitalized, so he nodded with relief.
"Being able to wake up means that your body has recovered most of its health."
While her uncle was talking to her sister, Cheng Xiangling kept observing her sister's condition.
Seeing that her sister was in a normal mood, she breathed a sigh of relief. But fearing that her sister would recall the terrible things those two bastards from the Wen family had done, she quickly tried to distract her by saying all sorts of things.
"My uncle and I passed by the Xie family when we went to the tenement a couple of days ago. We were thinking of going in to say hello to Sister Zhihuan."
“But it seems there’s something going on at her home, and my uncle and I didn’t want to bother her, so we had to leave.”
