Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Zhou Tian’s expression, Xia Wan knew that she had guessed right. After all, this was more in line with the actual situation. If Li Yan and Zhou Xiaorou’s family backgrounds were equal, and Li Yan himself was very outstanding, he wouldn’t do anything to harm her even if he didn’t love her… unless Li Yan no longer loved Zhou Xiaorou, but he still needed help through his marriage with her. For example, he could get help from her father, Zhou Tian.
If she didn’t discover Zhou Xiaorou’s poisoning, she would have continued to be harmed. Furthermore, the symptoms on her body were very weak and could not be detected by the current level of medical treatment.
And when Zhou Xiaorou was sick, Li Yan took good care of her. Thus, Zhou
Tian naturally felt that Li Yan treated Zhou Xiaorou very well. Even if Li Yan
married someone else in the future, Zhou Tian would feel that it was only right. He would even provide him with a lot of help in his work.
In this era, becoming a doctor was a very respected profession and had a high social status. Zhou Tian’s family sold medicinal herbs and had a lot of connections in this area, and all these would be of great help to elevate Li Yan’s status.
Zhou Tian understood what Xia Wan meant. He looked much older and did not speak immediately. After a long while, he sighed and said to Xia Wan, “I’ve underestimated human nature. Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Xia Wan knew that Zhou Tian still needed some time to digest this information, so she did not disturb him any longer. After leaving Xia Chen there, she went to prepare for the opening of the stall. Xia Feng followed behind Xia Wan, looking like he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
Xia Wan looked at him. “If you have something to say, just say it. It’s not a good habit to keep it in.”
Only then did Xia Feng speak up. “Sis, why are Chen MO and Xu Ye helping us so much? Is it because you’ve helped them before? I keep feeling that Chen Mo’s eyes are burning when he looks at you. Sis, does he like you?”
Xia Wan was a little speechless by Xia Feng’s words, and she couldn’t help flicking Xia Feng’s forehead.
“Kid, you’re so young, and you’re already so concerned about the relationship between a man and a woman? Didn’t you hear what Chen MO said? He’s only helping me because I saved his life.
“Besides, look at what they’re wearing. They’re both rich. Rich people’s lives are worth a lot. They’re just helping us to send those people to the police station.
It’s not like they’ve done anything big. Don’t think too much.”
As she spoke, Xia Wan turned her eyes away, and she sped up.
She seemed to be saying these words to Xia Feng, but she was also saying them to herself.
“Xia Wan, don’t think too much. Chen MO has never said that he likes you.”
When the two of them arrived at the stall, they found that it was all set up. All the clothes were matched, which made Xia Wan’s eyes light up.
She looked at the two of them. “Did you set this up?”
Chen MO nodded in a reserved manner, but Xu Ye did not hold back at all. He said to Xia Wan, “I’m the one who thought of how to match these clothes. I don’t have any special merits, but I know a lot about women’s preferences. I only need to look at these clothes, and I know how to match them best!”
Seeing how smug he was, Chen MO added coldly, “That’s right. After all, you’ve had enough girlfriends since you were a child to form a line on the street. No one knows more about girls than you.”
Xu Ye scratched his head in embarra.s.sment. “Look at you. It’s inappropriate to say such things.”
Xia Wan smiled and said, “That means Xu Ye is charming. Normal people can’t find so many girlfriends.”
Xu Ye laughed even more heartily. “Sister Xia Wan, you’re so sweet. I see that we hit it off. How about this? Don’t call me Xu Ye in the future. Just call me brother Xu.
“h.e.l.lo, brother Xu,” Xia Wan replied obediently.
Xu Ye’s smile became even more brilliant. He wished he could just take out a gift for Xia Wan. Look at this girl. She was pretty, obedient, and knew how to talk. How likable.
Chen MO looked at Xu Ye and Xia Wan’s pa.s.sionate conversation and wanted to say something. He did not want Xu Ye to continue the conversation with Xia Wan, so he asked, “Can you two handle it? Do you need me to help you find someone to help you?”
If he could, he would like to help her directly, but he had other things to do. He really couldn’t stay here to sell clothes with Xia Wan. Xia Wan smiled. “No need. The two of us are enough..
