“That guy Tang Chuan talks without thinking first and says anything . Don't take it to heart too much . ”
“What if I take it to heart? Then what?”
“Eh…” Su Yu didn't know what to say .
Huo Mian burst out laughing .
Huo Mian hadn't laughed so happily since Qin Chu had gotten into trouble .
Her bright smile instantly warmed up Su Yu's heart .
“I was just kidding . I've known him for so long, of course I know what kind of person he is . I won't take it personally . Also, Young Master Tang didn't say much . ”
“That's good . ”
“Are you also coming to the kitchen to get some rice? I'll get it for you . ”
As she was speaking, she moved to get Su Yu's bowl .
“No, it's fine . I'll get it myself . ”
Su Yu was dazed as he scooped a little bit of rice and walked out .
Everyone seemed to be having a nice chat .
Huo Mian was a pretty good chef . She also prepared fruits for everyone after dinner .
They hung out until 10:30 PM; it was getting late, so people started to leave .
Before leaving, Huo Mian called Jiang Xiaowei over to have a one on one chat for a little bit .
After Jiang Xiaowei walked out, Wei Liao vaguely felt that her mood didn't seem right .
Maybe other people weren't paying attention, but Wei Liao was Jiang Xiaowei's husband . After living together for a long time, they had a subtle-telepathic connection .
So on the way home, Wei Liao sat opposite from Jiang Xiaowei and said, “Honey…”
“What?”
“What did you guys talk about when Huo Mian called you over?”
Jiang Xiaowei paused a little and said calmly, “Nothing . ”
Then she looked down and continued playing a game on her phone .
“Then why do I feel like there's something wrong with your expression?”
“What's wrong?” Jiang Xiaowei looked up at Wei Liao .
“I can't describe it . I just feel that you are holding something in your heart . ”
“So now after being exposed to it, you want to learn psychology from me? And you are also trying to read people's minds like I do?”
“No, it was just a feeling . Also, I might have sensed it wrong . Ha, it's okay, I was just asking . ”
“Mhm . ”
“So is Huo Mian going to rely on Mr . Su to release Qin Chu for medical treatment?”
“Any other suggestions then?” Jiang Xiaowei asked back .
“Nothing, Mr . Su's grandpa is so powerful . Releasing someone should be fine . But this will be reliant on how hard Mr . Su tries . ”
After saying this, Wei Liao fell silent .
Jiang Xiaowei didn't chat with him like usual, and she just kept looking down at her phone and the game .
When Zhu Lingling left with Gao Ran, she started to feel panicked as well .
“Gao Ran, why do I have the feeling that Mian was acting a little strange today?” asked Zhu Lingling .
“Was she? I felt she was the same as usual, chatting and laughing . ” Gao Ran looked at Zhu Lingling .
“Something's wrong . Based on my understanding of Mian, a reaction like today's is definitely not right . It's going to be Qin Chu's second trial soon, she shouldn't be this relaxed . No, I need to talk to her . ”
Afterward, Zhu Lingling looked down and started to send WeChat messages to Huo Mian .
“Lingling, are you overreacting? Perhaps Huo Mian knows that Qin Chu will be fine, or maybe she already found a solution, and that's why she looked relaxed . ”
“Definitely not that . I'm her best friend, I can sense it . Something is wrong . Something's really wrong . ”
Zhu Lingling still felt a little panicked .
But she couldn't describe what that was .
In a word, today's gathering wasn't really happy .
After a week, the second trial took place as scheduled .
Everyone came on site . Huo Siqian and Mayor Song were present too .
When Qin Chu was brought up, Huo Mian smiled at him with a beautiful smile .
Today, Huo Mian wore a simply-designed white dress with princess sleeves . Simple but also gorgeous .
Qin Chu's gaze never left her… he missed her so much .
He had no idea what would be waiting for them after today's trial .
