65 Xia Chen’s Pragmatism
Xia Chen said, “If you’re sure that Zhou Xiaorou was poisoned, then uncle Zhou can be ruled out. His concern for Zhou Xiaorou wasn’t fake. As for her best friend, Song Ya, I don’t think she can be in contact with Zhou Xiaorou all the time, so it might not be her.
“But her husband and the nanny at home feel that something is wrong. Let’s think about it from another perspective. You were the one who was sick, and we’d taken you to all the major hospitals, yet they couldn’t find anything wrong with you. At this time, someone came to our house and said that you might have a problem with your diet and needed us to help you taste it.
“I’m afraid everyone in the family will fight to help you taste it. As long as there’s a chance, everyone would go out of their way to help because we all love you and hope you’ll be healthy.”
“But Li Yan and Luo Xing first felt that your decision was unreasonable. They did not care about Zhou Xiaorou as much as they appeared to.”
Xia Wan was very satisfied upon listening to Xia Chen’s analysis. She also wanted to train her brother, hoping he’d see the problems in other families and that he wouldn’t be so naïve and trusting.
Fortunately, her brother was intelligent, and his analysis was sharp.
“Brother, you’re so smart. I agree with you on this point. It appears we’ll have to visit Sister Ciaorou’s house more often to determine who wants to harm her.
“Brother, since we’re here, let’s go shopping. I want to see if I can get some business,” Xia Wan suddenly said.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Xia Chen now had complete trust in Xia Wan. Even if she told him to hit the wall, he would still think that there must be treasure in it.
On the other side, a black car drove into the village.
In that era, people who could drive a car were not ordinary. Not to mention the village, even the town had few cars.
The villagers gathered around as they broke into a feverish discussion.
“Oh my God, that’s a car! When has a car ever entered our village? It also looks expensive.”
“Wow, he’s rich. I wonder who they’re looking for in our village. It would be great if the occupants could come out. I really want to see who can afford to drive a car.”
The villagers gawked at the car with envy. Some of them could not help but tail the car closely to see where it was going.
In the car, Xu Ye frowned and said to Chen Mo. “The road ahead is too narrow. I’ve heard that Xia Wan’s family lives right in front, but the road ahead is too difficult to walk on. If our car goes in, we’ll be blocking the villagers. It’s better to park the car at the side.”
Chen Mo nodded. He held a box in his hand containing the gift he had chosen for Xia Wan. He didn’t know what a girl liked, so he asked the waiter to help pick it out. When he thought about how he would be able to see that girl with clear eyes later, Chen Mo’s heart started to beat faster.
In the past, he didn’t believe in fate. However, after meeting Xia Wan, he felt that other girls were ordinary and lacked the spiritual aura that Xia Wan had.
Xia Ye happened to be in the crowd, and her eyes widened when she saw the car stop and two handsome men get out.
Xia Ye felt that Xia Ru’s life was over ever since she fell ill. Her face was full of pimples, and her reputation was bad. Grandma did not like Xia Wan either. When the time came, she would definitely be the most pampered girl in the family.
So now that she saw these two handsome men, Xia Ye believed they were the prince charmings God had arranged for her!
Without waiting for the others to say anything, Xia Ye squeezed through the crowd and rushed to the two of them. She pretended to be shy and asked, “Who are you looking for? I’m very familiar with the village. I’ll take you there.
When he saw the girl who had suddenly appeared in front of him, her eyes were filled with schemes, even though she had a shy expression. She was looking at them as if they were juicy pieces of meat. This kind of gaze made Chen Mo very uncomfortable.
His eyes instantly turned cold, and his aura spread. “Get out of the way. I don’t need you.”
Even if he had to go from house to house, he would never want to talk to this kind of girl. It disgusted him.
