Chapter 79 -78: There’s Nothing My Brother Can’t Satisfy
By now, the chaos in the hospital room across had ended.
Wenyan’s anxious heart also returned to tranquility.
A moment later, Shen Jingxiu spoke up, “Let’s go.”
‘Gurgle’… Just at this moment, Wenyan’s stomach started to sing the tune of an empty fortress strategy.
She smiled awkwardly, “Hehe, I didn’t eat enough at dinner.”
Shen Jinghe became sarcastic again, “Pfft, glutton!”
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than his own stomach started ‘gurgling’ away.
The noise was even louder than that of Wenyan’s hungry stomach.
Wenyan laughed to death, “Glutton? How can you have the cheek to call me a glutton? If I’m a glutton, then you must be a food vat, a food pool, a food river, a food sea, a food galaxy.”
Why didn’t she just call him a food universe? Shen Jinghe rolled his eyes, “Childish.”
But, to be fair.
Everyone’s dinner tonight had been interrupted after just a few bites, and then they had been caught up in such a tense situation, so it was normal to feel hungry.
Therefore, Wenyan suggested, “Our parents will probably go to the police station to assist with the investigation, we just need to get back before they do. How about we grab some late-night food on the way back? What does everyone think?”
Shen Jinghe hummed in response.
[Such a tsundere!]
“What about you, big brother?”
“Fine.”
[Hehe, big brother is easy to talk to.]
–
Since they needed to find a place to eat, Shen Jingxiu drove the car very slowly on the way back.
These two didn’t seem to have any particular preferences, so Wenyan had to choose a restaurant herself.
“Over there, do you see that wonton shop, big brother? There’s even a parking spot right in front. This stuff cooks quickly, and we can head home earlier after we’re done.”
“Fine.”
Just before getting out of the car, Wenyan suddenly asked Shen Jinghe, “Second brother, how about I pack a portion for you so you can eat in the car? Wouldn’t it be troublesome if you were recognized?”
“Who cares!” Shen Jinghe opened the door and got out, “Am I not allowed to eat now?”
He was so hungry he could die; he would argue with anyone who tried to stop him from eating.
The three of them quickly entered the wonton shop.
To consider Shen Jinghe’s identity as a big star, they specifically chose a table in the most secluded corner.
From Shen Jinghe’s performance at the hospital just now, Wenyan felt that deep down, he didn’t find Shen Jingxiu, the big brother, so repulsive and annoying.
It was just his personality holding back his true feelings.
Therefore, Wenyan decided to create an opportunity for the two of them.
The restaurant used long benches.
Wenyan went ahead and occupied an entire bench by herself, sitting on half of it and using her jacket to claim the other half.
Shen Jinghe quickly discerned Wenyan’s intention; he frowned but sat down opposite her anyway.
Shen Jingxiu didn’t mind sitting shoulder to shoulder with Shen Jinghe, but just as he sat down, his phone rang.
“I need to take a call, Wenyan, you order for me. I’m not picky, I’ll have whatever you’re having.”
“Okay, okay, big brother, you go ahead and take care of your things.”
[Didn’t expect ice mountain big brother to be so easy to look after.]
“Miss, we’d like to order.” Wenyan waved to summon the waitress.
The moment the waitress saw her, she paused, “You are so beautiful, miss. Are you a celebrity? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere.”
“No, no,” replied Wenyan, a quick wave of her hand, “I’m just here to eat wontons. I’d like two bowls of the ‘Family Reunion’, large bowls. What about you, second brother?”
“Give me a large bowl of the fresh pork wontons,” said Shen Jinghe.
“Okay, please wait a moment,” replied the waitress.
When all three bowls of wontons had arrived, Shen Jingxiu had yet to return.
Even Shen Jinghe switched the position of the fresh meat wontons in front of him with the “Happy Family” wontons in front of Shen Jingxiu.
Wenyan was silent for two seconds, a bit puzzled, “Excuse me for asking, but what do you mean by this? If you liked the ‘Happy Family,’ why didn’t you just order it directly?”
“The ‘Happy Family’ contains shrimp.”
“Right, it has shrimp.”
“Someone doesn’t eat the shrimp in wontons.”
“Are you referring to Big Brother? But I’ve seen him eat shrimp at home during meals before.”
“What I’m saying is, he doesn’t eat shrimp that’s mixed with the meat filling.”
“??? You know that, so you could have just said so when we were ordering.”
“I was afraid the server would recognize my voice.” After all, even Wenyan almost recognized it.
“Oh, got it, got it. I’m not criticizing you, Second Brother, but you do care about Big Brother, don’t you? You can show it more. Last time in Big Brother’s study, I noticed he still remembers you don’t like to drink cold mineral water since you were young. But you didn’t take the water he offered you. If you’re too shy to say it, I can tell Big Brother later that it was you who specifically switched the fresh meat wontons for him.”
“You dare. Our matters are none of your business!”
Wenyan snorted, “Fine, I won’t meddle. Stubborn as a mule.”
And not far behind them, Shen Jingxiu, who had overheard their conversation, slowly curved his lips into a smile.
He waited a few seconds before returning to his seat.
Wenyan, true to his word, didn’t say anything more; Shen Jinghe also remained silent, and Shen Jingxiu was always a man of few words.
Fortunately, the wontons were really delicious, or else Wenyan might have suffocated.
–
Perhaps it was because a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
After a comfortable bath back at the Shen Family villa, Wenyan quickly fell asleep.
Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe waited until Shen Yuan and Su Yang came back to ask about the progress of the situation.
They said that if charged with fraud, they could be sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
But Shen Yuan felt the punishment was too light, especially since Wu Peng and Zhao Jing might have other crimes on their record.
So he planned to keep working on the case.
–
The next day, Wenyan woke up early and personally ran to the kitchen to make a loving breakfast for Su Yang.
Unexpectedly, Su Yang came down with a severe cold, had no appetite, and after taking some cold medicine, went to bed, feeling groggy all day.
Shen Yuan didn’t even go to work that day and instructed the house servants to spend half a day getting rid of everything in the fake Shen Zhirou’s room.
Perhaps due to her bad mood, Su Yang, after taking the medicine, continued to suffer from a persistent high fever, which eventually necessitated a hospital visit for intravenous fluids.
Wenyan spent several days immersed in the hospital, keeping company with Su Yang.
During this period, the movie “Lost Voice” wrapped up production. Shen Jinghe also finished his current work.
He had gotten used to returning to the Shen Family villa these days, especially now that Su Yang’s physical and mental state was not very good.

But he came back today specifically to find Wenyan.
“Take a look.” Once again, Shen Jinghe handed his phone to Wenyan.
Wenyan realized this guy was truly lazy; if there was a screenshot of an event, he would never describe it verbally.
“So… the reporter we talked about earlier managed to find a shady factory through Chai Zhaodi, possibly involved in human trafficking and likely related to Wu Peng and Zhao Jing. However, because it crosses geographical and time boundaries, it’s hard to coordinate an investigation.”
“Right.”
“So he’s still planning to use social media to put pressure on them?”
“Yeah, but that’s too slow. Go and report this to the old man; with a lead like this, he moves quickly.”
“Why don’t you go?”
“Don’t play dumb.”
“Then I won’t go either.”
“What’s your price? Name it, there’s nothing I can’t fulfill.”
“I simply won’t go. If someone needs to go, you go. I have to accompany Mom, goodbye!”
[Sigh, do you think it’s easy for me to bring those two together? If I asked him for a running errand fee of say, a hundred or eighty thousand, he would probably give it to me, right? Woe is me, goodbye hundred or eighty thousand!]
