“Ok, we will look into this matter as soon as possible. First, we will go check Mr. Shen Xiu’s side, and see whether they agree to private mediation or receive a punishment from the authorities.”
Shen Liangchuan nodded. “I hope that this affair will be settled according to official principles.”
The police officers nodded as they understood the meaning of his words.
After the police officers left, Shen Liangchuan went upstairs once again.
Xia Yehua’s back had been hit by a vase, but her condition was not too serious as she had only sustained superficial injuries.
After resting for a while, she felt much better.
Shen Liangchuan felt unhappy looking at the situation in the living room. He spoke directly, “Pack up your belongings, we shall all move to Villa 8.”
–
It was indeed meddlesome to move house.
Although both villas had the same structure and the renovation works done were quite similar, because of having to move one’s personal effects, as well as cleaning and tidying up, the whole day went by just like that.
There was a lot of cleaning and tidying to be done since they had just moved in. Everyone was tired after the whole day, so Qiao Lian suggested to order dinner.
Xia Yehua as well as Auntie Li agreed.
Qiao Lian then picked up her cell phone, found a restaurant and ordered a whole set of dishes.
Everyone went back to their respective rooms to rest for an hour, before coming out of their rooms to have dinner.
After entering the master bedroom, Qiao Lian couldn’t help but stare at Shen Liangchuan.
His own dad had been so cruel to him, he had to be feeling very upset now.
Looking at the back view of his thin body, Qiao Lian took in a deep breath.
In view of this issue, the conflict that they had last night was cast aside.
At the moment, Qiao Lian was not angry with him anymore, she only felt that Shen Liangchuan was very pitiful.
She took a step forward and hugged him from behind to give him some warmth.
Shen Liangchuan then turned around to hug her.
Both of them snuggled up to each other on the bed.
They did not do anything. They only snuggled together for warmth and comfort.
Towards the end of it, Qiao Lian heard Shen Liangchuan say, “Xiao Qiao, thank you.”
–
When the dishes from the restaurant were delivered, it was already eight in the night.
Everybody was famished, after being hungry for the whole day.
As Qiao Lian confirmed the dishes with the delivery man, she suddenly discovered that there was an extra box of food.
The delivery man’s head was covered under the brim of his hat. It made sense, since it was winter time and it was cold outside. He had thick scarfs on as well.
After hearing these words, the delivery man immediately smiled and replied, “As you have ordered many dishes, the chef has decided to add a free side dish for you.”
After saying this, the delivery man reminded her, “This dish is a little special.”
Qiao Lian nodded.
After the delivery man left, Qiao Lian took the dishes to the dining table and shouted vigorously, “Time to eat!”
Qiao Yi cooperated seamlessly, as he replied with a smile instantly, “I’m super famished.”
After the dishes were placed in order, they took their seats. Meanwhile, Qiao Lian shouted out loud to get Shen Liangchuan’s attention, who was upstairs. “Shen Liangchuan, come and have your dinner!”
Shen Liangchuan had been taking a shower earlier on. He would already be done by now.
Only after she heard an answer from upstairs, did she decide to take her seat once again.
With her chopsticks, Auntie Li picked up a bit of the free side dish and took a bite. Yet she spat it out immediately with a “ptui” sound.
Surprised, Qiao Lian asked, “What’s wrong?”
Auntie Li looked troubled. “Why is the taste of this side dish so strange? What sort of thing is this?”
When Qiao Lian heard these words, she took a glance at the dish and found that it was a plate of green leafy vegetables. However, she had not eaten such a thing before.
As the small group pondered over this dish, Shen Liangchuan came down the stairs.
