Chapter 452: Chapter 48 Joyful Miss_2

Rui Ying wasn’t particularly disappointed; it wasn’t her first time asking, anyway.

Xu Ji had been discharged from the hospital over a month ago, and to celebrate his complete recovery, Han Shouzhen decided to host a dinner at home for friends and family.

"Little Spring Breeze, hurry up, we’re running out of time!" Seeing her younger son still playing with a yo-yo, Lin Xiaoguai hurried him.

Little Spring Breeze reluctantly put away his yo-yo and scampered out.

"Mrs. Zhang, could you please look after the house?"

"Sir, madam, please take care on your way."

Before getting into the car, Lin Xiaoguai suddenly saw the envy and longing in Zhang Xin’s eyes and frowned.

"Shen Chi, why do I feel that Zhang Xin is a bit off?" On the road, Lin Xiaoguai hesitated but couldn’t help saying, "Every time it’s about Ping’an, she seems to pay extra attention? Last time too, when I brought the medicinal meal to the hospital, she watched from behind for a long time."

Shen Chi slightly frowned, "Let’s wait and see." He wasn’t quite sure what the child was thinking, but one thing was clear—she was by no means willing to remain Jian’an’s child bride.

Lin Xiaoguai understood him; there were some tactics that simply couldn’t be used on a child, especially when she hadn’t done anything yet.

The Wan family’s house was exceptionally lively with a group of children playing in the courtyard, and Han Shouzhen joyfully entertaining the guests inside.

However, Lin Xiaoguai first noticed Ping’an, who sat quietly smiling at the side; the boy seemed unchanged, yet his face now lacked the former melancholy, appearing as clear and bright as a gentle breeze, his demeanor more relaxed and expansive.

Han Shouzhen had previously chuckled to her about starting to ask other ladies to inquire about Ping’an, hoping to secure this son-in-law.

"Little uncle, little aunt," Xu Ji looked up to see their family enter and quickly stood up.

"Please, take a seat." Shen Chi pressed his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Are you feeling alright?"

Xu Ji shook his head, "I’m very well." He felt better than ever before. The bars that once confined him had vanished, leaving him with an indescribable sense of lightness.

"That’s good, remember to take the medicine I prescribed and only stop after two more months," Lin Xiaoguai also instructed.

"I understand," Xu Ji responded with a smile.

"Brother Ping’an, shall we go to your room?" Shen Yinian, who always got along well with Xu Ji, suggested once their parents finished talking.

"What about us?" Before Xu Ji could reply, Little Spring Breeze grumbled.

"You go and play with Sister Nannan," Shen Yinian dismissed him.

Little Spring Breeze pursed his lips unhappily; big brother was always annoying, never playing with them.

Today, there were many guests, including their family, the Han Shouxin family, some of Han Shouzhen’s friends, and Wan Quan’s colleagues, filling up four tables.

When they left, it was already past nine o’clock at night, and Shen Chi, having drunk quite a bit, let Lin Xiaoguai drive.

—She had obtained her driver’s license the previous year but hadn’t felt the need to buy her own car.

As she was turning the corner, a dark figure suddenly darted in front of the car, startling Lin Xiaoguai, who instinctively hit the brakes.

The shrill sound rang in her ears as she steadied herself after being shaken.

"What happened?" Shen Chi, slightly drowsy, was also startled awake.

Lin Xiaoguai swallowed her saliva, "I’ll go check." Please don’t let it be a person.

"I’ll come with you," Shen Chi said, frowning.

They checked under and in front of the car, and after confirming they hadn’t hit anyone, they returned to the car, relieved.

"It might have been a cat or a dog. We should hurry home; it’s easy to catch a cold sleeping in the car." Seeing the quadruplets asleep in the back seat, Shen Chi spoke.

Lin Xiaoguai nodded and started the car.

"Wait, wait—"

This family didn’t see the woman chasing after them from afar.

Wang Meilan crouched down, clutching her sore ankle with deep regret, thinking she should have waited a bit longer, as they could have been Aunt Wanwan’s family just now.

Returning to where she was staying, she was about to enter when two women popped out from beside the door.

"Wang Meilan, where have you been so late?"

Wang Meilan frowned and retorted, "Didn’t I tell you? I went to the Military District to see my aunt and her husband."

"Is your uncle really a high-ranking military officer?" the other questioned.

"Of course he is, why would I lie to you? You think about it, I only graduated from elementary school and could work at a state-owned textile factory, isn’t it all thanks to my uncle’s connections?" Wang Meilan said with pride.

The other pondered and then curiously asked, "What’s the Military District like? What does your uncle look like, is he very imposing?"

"It’s just like that, houses much larger than we’ve seen, with gardens and courtyards, and everyone drives sedans." Wang Meilan was glad she had peeked inside so that she could bluff her way through.

Without waiting for a reply, she added, "Alright, it’s getting late, I need to rest."

Once she disappeared at the doorway, one woman complained to the other, "Why did you stop me? I wanted to see if she could boast her way to the sky, referring to her uncle as a high-ranking official. Isn’t she afraid her lies will get punctured?"

"It’s not certain though, she might not be lying."

"Who are you kidding? An out-of-town niece comes to visit, and you think her aunt would let her leave empty-handed? Not to mention food, there should be something, right?"

"You’re right..."

"I’ve told you not to believe her crap. She doesn’t weigh more than two pounds, and this morning I saw her cozying up to the young boss. Does she really think she’s a goddess? Didn’t you see the young boss..."

Their conversation faded into the distance, and inside the house, Wang Meilan almost bit her teeth in anger.

No, she couldn’t just sit and wait! (To be continued. If you like this novel, your votes at Qidian are much appreciated. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
