Chapter 411 - Just Curious

Chapter 411 Just Curious“Chef Su may not know what is happening. The woman who is now kicked by Mr. Chen is his former girlfriend, and they almost got married at first, but he stole all of her property and left a few days before the wedding. This woman has a strong background in S city. I can’t understand why he still dared to come back to S city.” Shen Mo glanced at Chen Wenxuan and shook his head constantly.

He really despised this kind of man. When this man wanted to plot with Shen Mo to set up Xia Yu before, Shen Mo really looked down on him, and he would rather abort the plan than cooperate with him due to this.

He was not foolish. He knew that Shen Mo despised him. But this time, why should he dare to come here to see him with Su Hai?

Shen Mo paid certain attention to Su Hai, Eldest Disciple of Ruyi Tower. As for Chen Wenxuan, Shen Mo had no interest in him. He deliberately asked someone to tip off Bao Na that they would dine here today.

As long as Bao Na came here, Chen Wenxuan’s nasty nature would be disclosed, and then Kang Family and Bao Family would deal with him naturally. As for Su Hai, he was useful to Shen Mo, so Shen Mo wanted to negotiate with him directly.

Su Hai left Ruyi Tower because of disappointment. But his nature was good, so he thought of Chen Wenxuan with disdain after hearing Shen Mo’s words. “I haven’t expected that he is such a nasty person. I didn’t know it before. Young Master Mo, may I excuse myself?”

“Chef Su also said that you didn’t know it before. He has no relationship with you. You don’t need to shoulder any responsibility for what he has done. I admire your cooking skills. Let’s come in and have a talk.” Shen Mo invited Su Hai with a polite gesture.

Su Hai thought what Shen Mo said was right. He had no relationship with Chen Wenxuan. Therefore, he turned around. Then he went back to the private room with Shen Mo and slammed the door closed.

The farce outside still continued. Someone said, “Isn’t he Chen Wenxuan? He despised the poor and pandered to the rich before, so he broke up with Xia Yu for she lost her job. And then he hooked up with Bao Na, who had a rich family. However, he provoked the gangsterdom just before the wedding. In the end, he stole all of Bao Na’s property and fled away. Bao Na, who was poor and pregnant, endured people’s disdain because of him.”

“Yeah, Bao Na looked for him everywhere, which caused the discomfort in her pregnancy. She was sent to the hospital, but after a long time, she lost her baby. How poor she is!”

“What did Chen Wenxuan call the woman beside him?”

“Wife!”

“She seems to be pregnant, too. Which family’s girl does he deceive this time?”

Hearing people’s talk, Kang Lan realized that Xia Yu broke up with him long ago. No wonder Xia Yu looked at him with calm eyes. This woman was his real fiancée.

How could he treat this woman with cruelty? Kang Lan shivered with fear and backed down unconsciously, with tears shedding constantly on her face.

Even though Kang Lan was particular, she finally selected a nasty man like him. She felt that she was too embarrassed to appear in public in the future. Kang Lan covered her face with her hands and screamed out.

Chen Wenxuan heard the scream while he was beating fiercely. In a hurry, he left Bao Na and ran to Kang Lan. “Babe, what’s the matter? Is there any problem with our baby?”

“You are the one who has a problem! Piss off!” Kang Lan slapped him on the face and scolded him while pointing at his nose, “How dare you have me on! I won’t let you off. I’ll tell my father about it.”

“Lanlan, don’t listen to their nonsense. Let me explain to you.” Chen Wenxuan shivered with fear. If she told her father, he would chop him into pieces. Seeing Kang Lan running outside with her hands covering her face, he followed her in a hurry. “Slow down. Watch out! Do not fall over yourself!”

Scumbag! Xia Yu spat at his back badly with disdain and then turned around to walk towards Bao Na. She held her up and said, “Are you OK? Let me send you to the hospital.”

Bao Na shook her head and stumbled forward. Suddenly, she lost her balance and almost fell onto the ground. Xia Yu ran to hold her in a hurry. She hadn’t recovered yet after the abortion. What was worse, she was beaten heavily by Chen Wenxuan just now. Her body couldn’t bear it.

“I will send you to the hospital.” Xia Yu’s tone was firm.

Bao Na didn’t say anything. She let Xia Yu hold her, walking outside. They met Liu Sijie in the hallway. Xia Yu asked him for the car key and then drove Bao Na to the hospital.

“You knew that he married another woman long ago, right?” Bao Na asked on the way.

“It is during the business trip after the Spring Festival that I ran into them in Shangri-L and knew it. ” Xia Yu explained the experience that she ran into them to Bao Na, “Bao Na, I don’t want to conceal it from you. I just don’t want you to break your heart after you see him again.”

“I know. I was too foolish to believe him in the past.” Bao Na had no hope in Chen Wenxuan now completely.

After the conversation, the two people kept silent all the way to the hospital. Xia Yu went through the hospital procedures for her. Bao Na spoke again, “Xia Yu, thank you. It’s not early now. You’d better go home and have a rest. Help me call my mother to let her come over to look after me.”

“OK.” After Xia Yu called Madame Bao, she picked up the kettle on the side and said to Bao Na, “Your mother will be here soon. I will fetch some water for you first.”

Bao Na grunted assent and then lay down, with her eyes closed. Xia Yu knew that she was not in sleep.

Xia Yu cast a look at her and sighed soundlessly in her heart. Confronted with such a big incident, she indeed needed some time to get it over. Xia Yu gently closed the door and went out to fill the kettle.

When Xia Yu was back, Bao Na’s parents arrived here. Father Bao accompanied his daughter in the ward while Madame Bao had a talk with Xia Yu outside the ward about what happened.

Then Xia Yu told Madame Bao that Bao Na was beaten by Chen Wenxuan, which made Madame Bao shiver with anger on the spot. She called the police directly without a second thought.

Xia Yu didn’t stay long in the hospital partly because it was late and she was afraid that Shen Yan might worry about her, and partly because she thought the Bao Family needed a quiet talk, and it was inconvenient for her to stay here.

When she came out, it was raining outside. She watched the rain outside. Her car was parked in the yard of the hospital. She had wanted to run to her car in the rain directly, but she glanced around and found that there was someone selling the chestnuts roasted with sugar opposite.

Suddenly, she wanted to have some very much. Though the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Xia Yu directly dashed to the opposite side of the road to buy a bag of roasted chestnuts with sugar almost without hesitation.

After she bought the chestnuts and then ran back, Xia Yu found a man standing in front of her.

The man was wet in the rain, standing in front of her with chillness and looking at her with a cigarette between his lips.

Xia Yu, holding a bag of roasted chestnuts with sugar, came over from inside and was wet all over, too. The raindrops were dripping down from her hair to her cheek, and her eye expression was cold, dampened by the rain.

The Adam’s apple of Zhou Yan moved a little. He found that they were especially beautiful and bright when seeing that her pearl earrings on the earlobes were filmed in the rain.

Xia Yu seemed to have been used to the sudden presence of this man anytime and anywhere as if he had wings on his back, so she took out the car key and just walked past him coldly.

“Excuse me!”

“Xia Yu, you’re so rude to me!”

Zhou Yan got up from the car door with a cigarette between his lips. Xia Yu walked over to open the door, with a half package of chestnuts in her arms. She covered them with her hands from the rain. Her clothes were wet, but she was still reluctant to use the umbrella in her hand.

“Can we have a talk?” He took the opportunity to ask her when she opened the door.

Xia Yu ignored him. She opened the door and sat into the car without looking at Zhou Yan.

During the whole process, she held the package of chestnuts in her arms without looking at Zhou Yan or any intention to let him sit into the car.

Zhou Yan stood outside the car and finished the remaining part of the cigarette. He put it out, with a puddle beside his feet.

“Can we have a talk?” He repeated, with his tone hardened.

“I’m not in the mood today.” Xia Yu finally answered.

“I know. That’s why I want to talk to you.” Zhou Yan said with calm.

“It’s late and not convenient.” She finished her words and wanted to close the door again.

Zhou Yan used his hand to stop the door from closing. “Give me a few minutes.”

Xia Yu knew what he wanted to say. For example, he found there’s something wrong with Shen Mo. She had no interest in it. However, Zhou Yan was very stubborn. Though he looked like a gentleman as usual, he stuck to what he believed to the end once it was identified.

It was spring now, but the temperature was very low, after all. Especially considering that it was still raining outside, Xia Yu couldn’t be so callous to him, so she opened the door to let him in. She handed over the tissue to him and turned up the heating to the last notch.

“I’m not so fragile!” Though he said so, Zhou Yan was glad, with the corners of his mouth upward. He was right since Xia Yu wouldn’t be so callous to him.

“What do you want to tell me?” Xia Yu was straightforward.

“You sent Bao Na to the hospital just now, right?” Zhou Yan avoided her question. He happened to see that Xia Yu accompanied Bao Na here to come in, who looked very bad at that time, when he came to visit his grandpa.

But analyzing their expressions, he found that it did not seem to be caused by their quarrel. Zhou Yan made a guess and said, “You saw Chen Wenxuan, right?”

He also knew Chen Wenxuan? How idle he was these days? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known it upon the arrival of Chen Wenxuan in S city.

“Are you following us?” Xia Yu asked back. Otherwise, how could he happen to appear in the hospital?

“To be exact, I’m following Shen Mo. I find that he and Xiang Hui have an appointment with three guests from another city and dine in a private club.” Zhou Yan said calmly, “There are two men and a woman. I know Chen Wenxuan. Another man called Su Hai is a chef. As for the woman called Kang Lan, she is Chen Wenxuan’s wife now, right?”

“It seems that you know a lot.” Xia Yu curled up her lips. Suddenly, a strange feeling occurred to her. “What did you say? A man called Su Hai?”

Xia Yu’s astonishment was reasonable. A man was called Su Hai and happened to be a chef. Was he just her Eldest Brother? But how could he be involved with Chen Wenxuan?

“I heard them call him by that name. He was introduced to Shen Mo by Chen Wenxuan. It’s said that he is the Eldest Disciple of the boss of Ruyi Tower.” Zhou Yan was really confused by why Xia Yu was interested in a man called Su Hai.

“I’m just curious about why Chen Wenxuan is interested in a chef.” Xia Yu fudged and said. Shen Mo’s meeting her Eldest Brother at this time must have been related to Old Madame’s birthday party.

“I have no idea. But I know another thing.” Zhou Yan looked at Xia Yu and said, “It is Xiang Hui who called and informed Bao Na of Chen Wenxuan’s presence in the club.”

What? Xia Yu was astonished. “You said just now that the chef was introduced to Shen Mo by Chen Wenxuan, right?”

Since Shen Mo invited them to dinner, it meant that they had a cooperation. However, it was illogic that Xiang Hui called and informed Bao Na since they cooperated with each other.

“I want to know it, too. So, I follow you to come over to the hospital.” Zhou Yan always disliked gossip, but this time, he was really curious.

“How could I know it since you have heard about so much news and do not know it?” It was interesting that Shen Mo informed Bao Na to come over.

Xia Yu seemed to be really unaware of it. Zhou Yan nodded and said, “Alright. Since you don’t know it, I will leave first.” He pushed the door open and was about to get out of the car while saying these words.

“Wait!” Xia Yu spoke when Zhou Yan was about to get out of the car.

Zhou Yan paused and said, “What? Do you think of anything?”

Xia Yu shook her head and said, “I want to tell you something else. A few days ago, Shen Yan got hurt in another city. Second Madame paid a visit to him, and I overheard a thing, which might help you investigate Ningjing’s death a little.”

“Really? What’s that?” Zhou Yan’s hands trembled a little with thrill.

“Aunt Jiang who took care of Ningjing in the past lost her mind after Ningjing’s death. I have heard that she is still in the sanatorium now.” Xia Yu said.
