1596 Feeding Dog Food

The two dawdled in the car. After a long while, Chi Shuyan finally got out. Not only was her mouth swollen, her shoulder hurt and her face was a little red.

Chi Shuyan waved helplessly at the man in the car. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the man drove away from the villa.

After entering the villa, Chi Shuyan realized that Chef Li was indeed still at home today. He was spacing out as he sat in the living room. She couldn’t help but ask, “Chef Li, you didn’t go to Imperial Restaurant?”

When Chef Li saw that Miss Shuyan was back, he immediately got up and hurriedly said, “I didn’t go. I was afraid that you might look for me.”

Chi Shuyan: …

Alright, when she came to get the household register earlier, she had forgotten to let Chef Li know. Afraid of delaying him further, she hurriedly said that he should go do his thing, and there was no need to worry about her.

Only then did Chef Li nod in response. “Okay!”

Before Chef Li went out, he realized that Miss Shuyan’s expression seemed much better. He took a few more looks before going out.

After Chef Li left, Chi Shuyan sat on the couch in the living room and posted a few photos on her Moments. Of course, not only did she post them on her Moments, she also sent them to Brother Feng. She also said that when he was free, she would treat him to a good meal.

After sending the message to Brother Feng, Chi Shuyan thought for a moment and then sent a few more photos to her teacher. Although the two of them weren’t fated to be master and disciple in this life, in her heart, her teacher was still her teacher.

In the end, she sent a message to her father and waited for him to bombard her with calls.

She was a little worried that these photos would agitate her father too much.

After pondering for a moment, however, she felt that she still had to let her father know as soon as possible. Otherwise, she could only wait for her father to rush to the capital to settle accounts with her.

After sending the message, Chi Shuyan relaxed and planned to lie down on the couch in the living room. She was about to put her phone on the table, when it pinged with an incoming call.

Chi Shuyan glanced at the screen and saw that it was Brother Feng who was calling. She immediately swiped to answer the call. Sure enough, Brother Feng’s familiar voice immediately rang out on the other end. “Shuyan, what is the meaning of those photos? Is it April Fools’ Day?”

As soon as he asked the question, Brother Feng answered it himself. “That’s not right. Hasn’t April Fools’ long passed?

“Wait, holy sh*t! Holy sh*t, are you and Zhenbai serious? Did you really register your marriage? Don’t f*cking scare me!” The more Feng Yuanlin thought about it, the more he felt that something wasn’t right. Shuyan wasn’t old enough, okay? But then, what was up with those two marriage certificates? Could they be fake? These two people had too much free time!

Chi Shuyan spoke up in time to disrupt Feng Yuanlin’s racing thoughts. “We really registered our marriage. We just did it today. Next time I see you, I’ll bring you some wedding candy if you want!”

Feng Yuanlin was really blown away by Shuyan’s bombshell. In his excitement, the call was cut off.

When he called again, it was five minutes later. When Chi Shuyan picked up the call, the first thing Feng Yuanlin said was “Holy sh*t.” Then, he said in disbelief, “Zhenbai just posted photos on his WeChat Moments. Holy sh*t, I’m eating too much of this dog food. I probably won’t even be able to eat dinner!”

Chi Shuyan snickered and replied, “Brother, don’t exaggerate. You’ll get used to it in the future!”

“Holy sh*t!”

Chi Shuyan still wanted to say a few more words to Brother Feng, but who would have thought that after he said “Holy sh*t,” he immediately hung up. He probably didn’t want to see her for a while.

Chi Shuyan was in a good mood, and planned to help deal with the matter of Yang Ji as soon as possible. Thinking this, she got up and went upstairs to get down to proper business.

On the other side, Yuan Yuan had been visiting the Xia residence almost every day for the past few days.

Because she had been very accurate in reading the physiognomies of rich wives recently, she had gained some fame. Most of the people she read for were on good terms with Mother Xia, and they usually said a lot of good things about Yuan Yuan to Mother Xia. Coupled with how incomparably accurate Yuan Yuan was in reading physiognomy, Mother Xia’s attitude toward her had changed, and she was now cordial and welcoming.

Moreover, Yuan Yuan’s mouth was as sweet as honey, so Mother Xia liked her even more. She liked to have her over at the Xia residence for a meal every now and then, and even gave her a jade bracelet. The two of them had a very good relationship, and those who didn’t know better would think that they really were mother and daughter!

Seeing Xia Mingcheng every day made Yuan Yuan feel very happy and sweet. Unfortunately, Xia Mingcheng was still unmoved. At most, he would just greet her, and was very cold to her otherwise.

The more Yuan Yuan suffered, the braver she became. She didn’t believe that she still couldn’t be with Xia Mingcheng now that Yan Liling, that stumbling block, wasn’t around.

Besides, how was she inferior to Yan Liling?

Although her family background was far inferior to the Xia family’s, she was still from a good family that could be considered well off. She was countless times better than Yan Liling, who came from the countryside.

Yuan Yuan made up her mind to win over Mother Xia first. As long as Mother Xia liked her, she didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to marry into the Xia family.

So, she brought a gift to the Xia residence as usual. On the surface, she was looking for Mother Xia, but in fact, she had specially come to see Xia Mingcheng.

Mother Xia was as enthusiastic toward her as ever, and said with a smile, “What gift did you bring? Didn’t I say to treat the Xia family as your own in the future?”

Yuan Yuan said politely, “Aunt, these are all from my heart, as long as you don’t mind them!”

Mother Xia gently held Yuan Yuan’s hand and had her sit on the couch before she patted the back of her hand intimately. “Child, you’re so considerate, how can I dislike you? You’re really too sensible and make my heart ache!”

Mother Xia spoke gently, and Yuan Yuan lowered her head shyly.

“By the way, Yuan Yuan, can you help me take a look at Mingcheng’s marriage fate?” To be honest, after something happened to that girl, Mother Xia was especially worried about her son.

Moreover, what happened to that young lady was very strange and bloody. Mother Xia was more or less affected, and afraid that her son would be implicated by that young lady.

Only after Mother Xia roughly explained what she was worried about did Yuan Yuan react. At first, her heart thumped when Mother Xia mentioned Xia Mingcheng’s marriage fate. Fortunately, Mother Xia wasn’t really in a hurry to matchmake Mingcheng. She was just worried that his marriage fate might be affected.

Only then did Yuan Yuan smile and say, “Aunt, don’t worry. The person tying Mingcheng down is no longer in this world. As for Mingcheng’s marriage fate…”

Yuan Yuan originally wanted to buy him some time, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She changed her words and said, “Aunt, Mingcheng’s birth characters are a little light. Remember not to casually find a marriage partner for him. Only by finding a woman whose birth characters complement his can Mingcheng and the Xia family prosper!”

Not far away, Xia Mingcheng and his brother, Xia Mingzhen, who had just come downstairs, frowned at Mother Xia and Yuan Yuan, especially Xia Mingzhen. Speaking of which, Xia Mingzhen really didn’t have a good impression of Yuan Yuan. Instead, he had an especially good impression of his brother’s ex-girlfriend.

Moreover, he had always felt that this woman was quite scheming and hid it well. Otherwise, how could this woman have gotten along especially well with his brother’s girlfriend when she liked his brother?

The two of them were best friends?

Xia Mingzhen was really afraid that his brother would marry a woman like this. He couldn’t help but secretly say, “Brother, you can’t marry such a scheming woman!”

Xia Mingcheng frowned and said, “What nonsense are you saying?”

“By the way, Brother, is this woman really so godly? Is she especially good at reading people’s physiognomy?” Xia Mingzhen couldn’t help but be curious, which was typical for his age.

Xia Mingcheng didn’t reply to his brother. At that moment, Yuan Yuan also saw the two brothers. She gave them a relaxed look and found an excuse to leave.

Although Mother Xia was in a daze because of her son’s ‘light’ birth characters, she quickly came back to her senses and wanted the child to stay for dinner. Unfortunately, Yuan Yuan refused no matter what, so she could only hurriedly have her son give her a ride.

Xia Mingcheng could only send her off. He didn’t expect Yuan Yuan to refuse first. “No need, Mingcheng, I’ll take a taxi back myself!”

Although Yuan Yuan said that, Xia Mingcheng still saw her out the door.

On the way, Xia Mingcheng’s face was still very cold. When the two reached the door, Yuan Yuan hurriedly said, “Mingcheng, there’s no need to give me a ride. I’ll take a taxi back myself. By the way, I’ve been here these past few days to see how you’re doing. After what happened to Liling, everyone is very worried about you.”

When Xia Mingcheng heard the word “Liling,” his face stiffened and turned especially unsightly. Yuan Yuan didn’t seem to see his unsightly face, and continued, “By the way, Aunt asked me about your marriage fate just now. I casually put it off for you. I don’t think Aunt will rush you again for the next few days!”

“Thank you!”
