Chapter 78: Food Galaxy


At this point, the chaos in the opposite ward came to an end.


Wen Yan's nervous heart also returned to calm.


After a moment, Shen Jingxiu spoke up, "Let's go."


"Goo goo"... Unfortunately, at this moment, Wen Yan's stomach started growling.


She smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, didn't eat enough for dinner."


Shen Jingxiu's sarcastic nature emerged once again, "Huh, glutton!"


However, before his words could even finish, his own stomach growled, "Goo goo goo".


This noise was even louder than Wen Yan's hungry stomach.


Wen Yan bursted into laughter, "Glutton? How dare you call me a glutton! If I'm a glutton, then you must be a food vat, food pond, food river, food sea, food galaxy".


Why didn't she say food universe? Shen Jingxiu rolled his eyes, "Immature."


But he had to admit.


They had only taken a few bites of dinner tonight before they were interrupted, and then encountered such a tense situation. It was normal for their stomachs to feel hungry.


So Wen Yan suggested, "My parents should go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. We just need to get back before them. Let's grab some late-night snacks on the way back, what do you all think?"


Shen Jinghe snorted.


[Arrogant!]


"What about you, big brother?"


"Alright."


[Hehe, big brother is easy to please after all.]


Because they were looking for a place to eat, Shen Jingxiu drove slowly on the way back.


These two seemed to have no particular preferences, so Wen Yan had to choose the restaurant herself.


"Over there, over there, do you see that wonton shop, big brother? There's a parking spot right in front. It's quick to cook this stuff, and we can go home sooner after eating."


"Okay."


When they were about to get out of the car, Wen Yan suddenly asked Shen Jinghe, "Second brother, should I pack a portion for you? You can eat it in the car later. It wouldn't be good if you were recognized, right?"


"I don't care!" Shen Jinghe opened the door and got out of the car, "Don't you want me to eat?"


He was starving, and he would get angry with anyone who tried to stop him from eating.


The three of them quickly entered the wonton shop.


To accommodate Shen Jinghe's identity as a celebrity, they purposely chose a table in the far corner.


Based on Shen Jinghe's actions at the hospital just now, Wen Yan felt that Shen Jinghe didn't actually dislike or hate Shen Jingxiu that much in his heart.


It was just his personality that restrained his true self.


So Wen Yan decided to create an opportunity for the two of them.


This restaurant had long benches.


Wen Yan went forward and occupied a whole bench by herself, sitting halfway with her coat taking up the other half.


Shen Jingxiu immediately understood Wen Yan's intentions. He frowned but still sat opposite her.


Shen Jingxiu didn't mind sitting shoulder to shoulder with Shen Jinghe, but as soon as he sat down, his phone rang.


"I'll take the call, Wen Yan, please order for me. I'm not picky, I'll eat whatever you're having."


"Okay, big brother, go ahead and handle your business."


[I didn't expect the ice-cold big brother to be so easy-going when it comes to food.]


"Miss, may I take your order?" Wen Yan called the waiter over.


When the waiter saw her, she paused for a moment, "Miss, you're so beautiful, are you a celebrity? I feel like I've seen you somewhere."


"No, no," Wen Yan hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm just here to eat wontons. I'll have two large bowls of mixed wontons, and what about you, second brother?"


"I'll have a large bowl of pork wontons."


"Alright, please wait a moment."


But by the time the three bowls of wontons arrived, Shen Jingxiu still hadn't returned.


Even more surprising, Shen Jinghe even switched the position of his own fresh meat wonton with Shen Jing Xiu’s wonton. 


Wen Yan was silent for two seconds, a little confused. "May I ask, what do you mean? If you like that, why didn't you just order it?"


"It has shrimp in it."


"Yes, it has shrimp."


"He doesn't like shrimp in his wontons."


"Are you referring to Big Brother? But I saw him eating shrimp in the meal we had together at home before."


"I mean, he doesn't eat shrimp that is wrapped with the meat filling."


"??? You know this, you could have mentioned it when we were ordering."


"I was afraid the waiter would recognize my voice." 


After all, he almost recognized Wen Yan.


"Oh, I see. I don't mean to meddle, Second Brother, but you do care about Big Brother, right? Actually, you can express these things. I noticed it when I was in Big Brother's study last time. I saw that Big Brother remembered that you didn't like drinking cold mineral water since you were young. But you didn't accept the water that he offered to you. If you feel embarrassed, I'll tell Big Brother later that you specifically asked him for the fresh meat wonton."


"How dare you. You don't need to interfere in our matters!"


Wen Yan clicked his tongue and said, "Fine, I won't interfere. You're just being stubborn."


Not far behind them, Shen Jingxiu, who overheard their conversation, slowly curved his lips.


After waiting in place for a few seconds, he finally returned to his own seat.


Wen Yan didn't say anything more, and Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingxiu were also silent. Shen Jingxiu had always been a man of few words.


Fortunately, the wontons were really delicious; otherwise, Wen Yan would have choked.


Maybe it was because of the impostor that they had just uncovered.


After returning to the Shen family villa and taking a comfortable bath, Wen Yan quickly fell asleep.


Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingxiu waited until Shen Yuan and Su Yang returned. They asked about the progress of the matter.


If they were to charge them with fraud, they could be sentenced to more than ten years in prison.


But Shen Yuan felt that this punishment was too light, especially since Wu Peng and Zhao Jing might also have committed other offenses.


So he planned to continue working on this matter.


The next day, Wen Yan woke up early and personally went to the kitchen to make a loving breakfast for Su Yang.


Unexpectedly, Su Yang had a bad cold and fell ill. She had no appetite and went to sleep after taking cold medicine. She spent the whole day in a daze.


Shen Yuan didn't go to work that day either. He instructed the household servants to spend half a day disposing of everything in the fake Shen Zhirou's room.


Probably because of her bad mood, Su Yang's cold didn't improve. She kept having a high fever and had to go to the hospital for intravenous fluids.


Wen Yan spent several days in the hospital accompanying Su Yang.


During this time, the filming of the movie "Voiceless" was wrapped up, and Shen Jinghe also finished his work.


These days, he had gotten used to returning to the Shen family villa, especially now that Su Yang's physical and mental state was not very good.


But he came back today specifically to find Wen Yan.


"Take a look at this." Once again, Shen Jinghe handed his phone to Wen Yan.


Wen Yan noticed that this guy was really lazy. If there were screenshots of the incident, he would definitely not describe it verbally.


"So... the journalist we mentioned before, he found a local black market factory through Chai Zhaodi, which may be involved in human trafficking and possibly related to Wu Peng and Zhao Jing. But because it involves different regions and spans many years, it's difficult to conduct a joint investigation."


"That's right."


"Does that mean he plans to use public opinion to exert pressure?"


"Yes, but that would be too slow. Go and report this information to the old man. He can act quickly when there are some leads."


"Why don't you go?"


"That's a rhetorical question."


"Then I won't go."


"What conditions do you have? Just say it, there's nothing I can't fulfill as your brother."


"I won't go, that's it. If you want to go, go by yourself. I have to stay with Mom, goodbye!"


Wen Yan thought. "Ah, it's not easy to play matchmaker between father and son. If I had asked him for a hundred thousand or more as a convenience fee, he would probably give it to me. Goodbye, hundred thousand!"
