She had just walked into the living room when she saw Shi Nuannuanâs figure disappear at the entrance. Curious, she followed her.
After Nuannuan went out, she sat on the swing in the courtyard.
Her position was just diagonally opposite Xiangyiâs.
Glancing at the two of them, Zuo Weiyi smiled and immediately turned back to the living room, giving the two some space.
In the kitchen, Xiao Cui was steaming a bream.
She stood by the kitchen counter, her pair of dark red phoenix eyes fixed on the fish in the pot as she tightly held a small blue and white porcelain bottle in her hand.
Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly buzzed.
She took it out and saw a message.
In it were photos of Xiao Song getting beaten black and blue.
Xiao Cuiâs heart suddenly felt like it was being hit by a thousand hammers!
Soon, her phone rang and she hurriedly picked up the call.
âWhat are you doing?!â
âIf you donât do as we say, I assure you, Xiao Song wonât live through the night!â
âPlease... donât hurt him, Iâll promise you anything! As long as you donât hurt him...â She was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face and she almost screamed.
âOkay, then Iâll wait for your good news tonight.â On the other end of the line, a strange smile appeared on the personâs face.
âI want to talk to Xiao Song on the phone!â
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely let him go after this is done!â
âNoââ But before Xiao Cui could finish her sentence, the line had been cut off. âHello? Hello?!â
No matter how much she cried, there was only silence.
Xiao Cui put away her phone and looked at the fragrant steamed fish in the pot. She closed her eyes and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Iâm sorry, Madam...
She opened her eyes again and poured the colorless and tasteless liquid into the pot.
Dinner time.
Shi Nuannuan could smell the fragrant steamed fish and could not wait to eat it.
âWow, it looks so delicious.â
With her chopsticks, Shi Nuannuan picked up a bit of the fish and put it into her mouth. She chewed slowly and tasted it carefully.
âHmm...â
Xiao Cui took out a bowl of soup just in time to see Shi Nuannuan taking the first bite of the fish.
âMiss!â Xiao Cui could not help but exclaim!
Xiangyi was guarding outside the door when he heard the exclamation and his expression changed. He rushed in immediately!
However, when he saw Shi Nuannuan sitting at the dining table in perfect condition, his heart that had risen into his throat suddenly calmed down.
Seeing Xiangyi rush in and Xiao Cuiâs strange expression, Shi Nuannuan felt a little puzzled.
Her hand froze in midair as she was just about to pick up another bite of the fish. âWhat? Whatâs wrong?â
Xiao Cui observed her with a serious expression. âAre, are you okay?â
â...â Shi Nuannuanâs warm and dark pupils froze. âWhat could be wrong with me?â
Xiao Cui glanced at her and lowered her eyes. âNo, itâs.. itâs fine.â
She put down the bowl of soup in her hand and returned to the kitchen.
Just as she was about to bring out the white rice, her phone rang again.
It was yet again a number that she did not recognize, but this time it was a landline from the city.
âHello?â
âXiao Cui, you canât give that thing to Mrs. Shi! If she eats it, she wonât be able to keep the babies in her stomach! Thatâs abortion medicine!â
Xiao Cuiâs face instantly turned pale!
