Chapter 367: What Do You Mean By ‘Wife’?
The officers could not help but feel a little helpless when they saw the smile on his face.
Before coming here, their superior did not tell them that the defendant was none other than Mr. Shi’s wife! They could not help but be caught in the middle of the fence.
After careful consideration, the officers decided to return to the station first before making further plans about how they should proceed with this matter. After all, they could not afford to offend both the Shi family and the Tengtang family!
“Since Mr. Shi has already said so, then we will wait for Zuo…” After a short pause, the prosecutor decided to change his words instead, “Um, we will wait for her injuries to heal before she is brought in for further investigation on Miss Tengtang Xi’s claims.”
After he was done speaking, the group of officers turned around and left the ward immediately. This was the first time that they had ever encountered such a complicated and troublesome case.
After the officers left, Shi Nuannuan turned around to look at her brother before she asked eagerly, “Brother, what do you mean by ‘wife’?”
Did he say that on purpose just to stop those people from taking Zuo Weiyi away?
Shen Lanzhi was also curious after listening to her son’s words.
After looking at his mother and sister, Shi Yuting simply turned around calmly as he walked toward the round table at the side of the hospital bed. He slowly picked up the thermal flask before he sat down on the sofa by the side of the bed as he proceeded to open the insulated thermos flask.
After that, he replied, “It’s nothing.”
Shi Nuannuan could not help but narrow her eyes as she glared at her brother. Nothing?
“Clang!”
Since this was the first time that Shi Yuting was doing something like this, he could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. He dropped the lid of the thermal flask as soon as he opened it up.
Shen Lanzhi could not bear to watch her son’s awkward movements. She hurried over to him before she took the thermal flask from his her hands and poured the chicken soup into a bowl.
After that, she took the bowl of chicken soup over to Zuo Weiyi before she sat on the edge of the bed. Shen Lanzhi smiled at Zuo Weiyi and said gently, “Drink some chicken soup. It is good for your health.”
Shen Lanzhi was also very heartbroken over the loss of Zuo Weiyi’s baby.
Zuo Weiyi was a little surprised when she was faced with Shen Lanzhi’s concern.
Zuo Weiyi simply looked at Shen Lanzhi calmly but she did not give her any response at all.
Shen Lanzhi could sense a coldness in her eyes and could not help but feel that Zuo Weiyi must be holding a grudge against her because of everything that had happened in Country Z.
As she thought about this, Shen Lanzhi could not help but lower her head in guilt.
She was about to hand the bowl and spoon over to her son who was sitting nearby, Zuo Weiyi suddenly said, “Thank you.”
Shen Lanzhi raised her head in shock as she looked at Zuo Weiyi who had already stretched out her hand to take the bowl of chicken soup from her hand with a smile on her face.
After taking the bowl of chicken soup, Zuo Weiyi drank a sip of the soup before she looked at Shen Lanzhi and said, “It’s really delicious.”
Shen Lanzhi was still immersed in her own thoughts. It took her a moment to come back to her senses. After regaining her senses, she could not help but feel even guiltier.
“If you like it, I will cook it for you again tomorrow.”
“Okay. Thank you, Auntie,” Zuo Weiyi replied as she smiled.
Although she was already officially married to Shi Yuting, she knew very well that the Shi family did not acknowledge or accept her existence at all. Therefore, she decided to be very polite in the way that she addressed Shen Lanzhi.
She originally planned to call her Mrs. Shi as she did before. However, she felt that it would be a little weird to address her that way since she was already legally married to Shi Yuting. Therefore, she decided to call her ‘auntie’ instead of Mrs. Shi because it felt much more natural that way.
Shi Nuannuan felt very pleased when she saw Zuo Weiyi’s interaction with her mother.
She knew that Zuo Weiyi would definitely forgive her mother!
Shi Yuting stood aside as he gazed at Zuo Weiyi. He was also very pleased with this sight.
Meanwhile, in the other ward.
Tengtang Xi, who was laying down on the hospital bed, sat up immediately as soon as she heard that Zuo Weiyi had not been taken back to the station!
