Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With the help of the stall owner, Lu Lin successfully found a group of local thugs. Then, he described Xia Wan’s appearance to these people and asked them to help find her whereabouts. They were supposed to tell him as soon as they found her.
Just as these people were about to go and find Xia Wan, Lu Lin shouted again,
“Wait, do you know where the Xia family lives?”
Upon hearing Lu Lin’s question, Brother Qiang, who was the leader, asked with a smile, “Brother Lu, which Xia family are you talking about? There are quite a lot of people with the surname Xia here.”
Lu Lin frowned and said impatiently, “He lives in Liu village,” the man said. “His name is Xia Xu. He was a military doctor when he was young. After he retired from the battlefield, he returned to the village and became a village doctor or something. If you have any news about this person, come and tell me immediately.”
“Okay, Brother Lu.” Brother Qiang nodded immediately. “We’ll definitely find out for you.”
Next, Lu Lin found the best hotel in the area. Even if she ate the most expensive dishes in the town and drank the best wine, Lu Lin still felt that her anger was not appeased.
While they were eating, Xia Wan’s face would appear in his mind from time to time, deeply angering Lu Lin. As long as he didn’t catch this woman, he wouldn’t be able to swallow this rage.
On the other hand, Xia Wan was walking around aimlessly. Because of Lu Lin’s appearance, her calm mood was also affected. She then remembered that according to the node in her previous life, Lu Lin should be here by now.
It was a pity that Lu Lin was now being treated coldly because of her influence. He would probably be even worse off if he went to the Xia family now.
Xia Wan was not afraid of Lu Lin. No matter how many tricks he had up his sleeve, she would always have a way to escape. However, she was not alone now. She had a family. Lu Lin, however, had money, and it was only a matter of time before he found their address.
Thinking of this, Xia Wan quickly moved. She first came to the stall and said to Xia Chen, “Brother, leave Xia Feng here to sell clothes. You can go to the supermarket to buy some bedding. I’ve already found a house for our family. Everyone has their own room, but we need to buy new bedding.”
Xia Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard this. “Really, sister? Will we all have our own rooms?”
At home, Xia Feng and Xia Chen slept in the same room. This had always been the case since they were young. Everyone wanted to have their own private space, and Xia Feng was no exception.
Therefore, after hearing Xia Wan’s words, Xia Feng was so happy that he wanted to stand up and walk around in circles.
Seeing Xia Feng’s expression, Xia Wan smiled slightly. Her mood, which had been a little depressed by Lu Lin, was also lifted.
So what if Lu Lin attacked her? She had people to protect, and she would do her best to protect them.
On the other hand, Xia Chen was calmer than Xia Feng. He could see the family’s daily income. In addition, Xia Wan also had the hospital’s income, so Xia Chen felt that it was only right for Xia Wan to choose a better home to live in.
In the future, he had to work harder and sell more clothes as to not let Xia Wan’s sacrifice for the family go to waste.
“Okay, I’ll go buy these. Don’t worry. Where do I put them after I buy them?” Xia Chen asked. At the same time, he was ready to go shopping. He found two big bags.
“Brother, follow me. I’ll take you to our house first. After you buy the things, you can put them at home. I’ll give you a key to the house too. I might have to go and settle some things later. If I’m not home by the time you’re done selling your things, you can clean up first. You can choose your own room.”
While Xia Wan was walking in front, Xia Chen noticed something. He stopped and asked Xia Wan, “Wanwan, did something happen? If it weren’t for the fact that something happened, you definitely wouldn’t have explained everything in detail and let me do everything. Instead, you would have followed me.”
Xia Wan stopped helplessly. She realized that her brother was actually rather brilliant. She could not hide some things from him, no matter how she tried.
Thinking that she would be unable to hide Lu Lin’s matter from her family sooner or later, Xia Wan said, “Brother, the family will find out about this sooner or later. Since you’ve asked, I’ll tell you first. Brother, you should be mentally prepared and don’t be too afraid. I’ll solve this..
