ffened his neck, his handsome face flushed red, his forehead bulging with veins, and his lips trembling uncontrollably. "I've always respected you, admired you in everything I did, but I never expecte...She turned to the gentle woman beside her, her eyes curving into a smile. "Sister-in-law, it's been a long time."
"Two years have passed, how...how did you become so thin" Lin Nalu looked at her unusually slender jawline, and as soon as she opened her mouth, her eyes welled up with tears.
Toward Yu's face was filled with concern, he quickly wiped her tears and said, "You just said you were happy to have seen Wanwan, how come you're crying again"
"Are you her older brother" Lin Nalu glared at him, tears streaming down her face. "Wanwan has gotten so thin! Who knows what hardships she's endured these past two years!"
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's talk somewhere else," Xiang Wan glanced around. This place is crowded and full of people; it's not a good place to talk.
If anyone were to tell He Hanchuan that she was still in contact with the Xiang family, everything she had done this period would be meaningless.
The couple knew she loved grilled fish, so they drove her to a grilled fish restaurant.
Lin Na Lu usually quite liked eating grilled fish, but at this time sitting across from Xiang Wan, looking at the scars on her face and her gaunt cheeks, she couldn't eat a bite.
She picked up her chopsticks, then put them down again. "Wanwan, these past two years... haven't you been doing well"
"Sister-in-law is thinking too much. Even criminals are human beings, how bad can they be" Xiang Wan's eyes dimmed for a moment before she smiled and placed a piece of fish belly meat on her plate. "I actually heard quite a few interesting things while I was in prison."
"Tell me about it" Seeing that she didn't want to talk about those sad things, Lin Naolu felt even worse in her heart, but she didn't force her to reveal her scars.
Xiang Yu didn't hide his emotions, he wore a sullen expression as he picked out fish bones, and once finished, he put them on his sister's and wife's plates.
A fraudster who made almost 20 million from his scams was a gamer. When the police caught him at an internet cafe, his only request was to finish his current game because he would be scolded for quitting.
"There was another murderer who was careful and discreet, fleeing for eight years. He was eventually caught because he was recognized by a facial recognition system at a concert."
Moona laughed and told seven or eight funny anecdotes about the prisoners. Lin Nana occasionally chimed in with a response, but everyone knew that no one was genuinely laughing. At this moment, laughter was merely for show.
"Stop talking about this!" Xiang Yu put down his chopsticks, his face dark as he asked, "I heard that you were forced to kneel at the club and even harassed and targeted. Is it true"
Lin NaLu elbowed him, giving him a look, but he still stared intently at Xiang Wang, determined to ask.
"Just rumors. Don't people still say I'm a vicious murderer" Xiang Wan paused, her eyes cast down as she spoke.
Xiang Yu stared at her for a while, then suddenly picked up the beer on the table, gulped it down in one go, and slammed it back down with a loud "pah," his voice noticeably darker. "Wan Wan, you're lying."
Towards Evening didn't speak, she just took a piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth, but she couldn't taste it.
This is the default.
"How come you didn't tell us about this" Lin Nalu asked, her expression complicated.
She knew her niece's temper well, she was a hothead, arrogant to the extreme. Now, she had been made a fool of like this.
"What's the point of saying anything" Xiangwan shoved another piece of fish into her mouth, letting out a self-deprecating chuckle. "Am I making you and ge worry"
Bang!
Xiang Yu slammed the beer down on the table, making a loud noise that drew curious glances from several nearby tables.
"Your voice is too low!" Lin Na Lu tugged at his arm.
"No one in City A is willing to oppose He Hanchuan, so I'll go find the new Municipal Party Committee Secretary!" Xiang Yu propped up the table and stood up, his eyes bloodshot as he pressed down on his voice and growled, "I don't believe it! In such a large City A, can that He surname bloke cover the sky with one hand!"
"Don't be impulsive, calm down." Lin Na-lu wasn't like him, a hothead who didn't think things through. She grabbed his sleeve and motioned for him to sit down.
Xiang Yu tore his hands away from hers, veins bulging on his neck, "Calm down, calm down, calm down! If I get any calmer, Wanwan will be killed!"
Being yelled at like that, Lin Naolu was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and didn't speak again, but her eyes were already red.
"Your sister-in-law hasn't done anything to offend you, why are you shouting at her Are you sick" Xiang Wan put down her chopsticks, sighed helplessly, and gave Xiang Yu a look.
Xiang Yu just blurted it out and immediately regretted it. He coughed twice and hurried to appease his wife. He said all sorts of sweet nothings like "my heart and treasure, I love you," and Lin Nalulu's face finally improved a little.
"Finding a new secretary for the Municipal Committee won't do any good either." Xiang Wan briefly told Ren Xiaoya about what she had done to help her.
A silence fell over the table.
After a long while, Xiang Yu impatiently rubbed his hair, "If there's really no other way, I'll just drive and run over that bastard, then go to jail!"
"You're not alone anymore. Think about your sister-in-law and the two children before you speak or act." Xiang Wan looked at the bandage still on his head, and a few sparks of warmth flickered in her cold heart.
It's nice that someone still cares about her feelings.
Towards Yu gritted his teeth and said with a livid face, “This won't work, that won't work either. Do you expect me to watch you be bullied by that scum There's no way I can do that!”
"I didn't say I wanted to wait for death," Xiang Wan said softly under their gaze. "I've already thought of a way to leave the club, don't worry."
Two people asked what the solution was, but she didn't say.
After dinner, A-wei returned to the dormitory.
Zhou Miao was also in the dorm. Seeing her return, she seemed a little embarrassed. After about half an hour, she stammered, "I'm sorry about what happened today."
It's unclear whether she was trying to use A-wei to get closer to He Hanchuan and apologize, or if she was coming back to apologize for leaving her.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wan gave a soft hum in response and didn't say anything more.
"向晚," Zhou Miao felt a prickle of unease, like being scratched by a cat. After much hesitation, she cautiously spoke, "Miss Jiang's leg... it really... was broken because you hit her, wasn't it"
Towards Evening's body stiffened for a moment, just like before, she hummed softly in response.
"Miss Jiang is both beautiful and gentle, she seems like a really nice person. Why did you break her leg" Zhou Miao walked up to her and asked.
"I just can't stand her." Xiang Wan continued to organize the clothes she had just bought, not even lifting her head. "And besides, I didn't want to break her legs, I wanted to kill her. But she's lucky, she survived."
Zhou Miao remained silent for half a day.
Then, A-Wan continued organizing her clothes. After tidying up half of them, she took out two pieces of clothing and placed them on Zhou Miao's bed.
She doesn't like owing favors.
"But I don't think you're that kind of person," Zhou Miao suddenly said.
Sipping her drink, Yuehua's hand paused on the fabric of her sleeve. She looked up, her eyes misty.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Zhou Miao quickly ran over and opened it. She took the clothes her colleague handed over, unfolded them, and her eyes almost popped out. "Are you sure this is for Xiang Wan to wear, not for the cleaning lady"
"Of course, for sure. I'm also curious, it seems like everyone is wearing the same clothes they did yesterday, only Xiang Wan changed. Wearing this outfit, I feel like someone will definitely complain tomorrow!" Her colleague rolled her eyes and said that before walking away.
