"Yes! Qingmian, let me tell you, my mom's throat - soothing soup is top - notch."
Next to them, Lu Wenxuan gave a thumbs - up and spoke to Jiang Zhirou.
"Alright, alright. Stop crowding around Qingmian. I'll take her upstairs to change clothes first. She just came back from the hospital."
After saying that, Lu Wenxi pulled Jiang Zhirou towards the bedroom on the second floor.
Jiang Zhirou's mind was still stuck in the moment when Fu Huiyi had been chattering away with her.
It was not until Lu Wenxi's voice rang in her ear that she came to her senses.
"Here." Lu Wenxi rummaged through the closet and took out a new set of home clothes, then handed it to Jiang Zhirou. "Qingmian, you can wear mine first."
Jiang Zhirou stared at the clothes in Lu Wenxi's hand, hesitated for a moment, and didn't take them.
She wasn't used to wearing other people's clothes.
But if it were Chen Qingmian, she would surely take them.
Just as Jiang Zhirou was hesitating, Lu Wenxi directly stuffed the clothes into her hands. While pushing her towards the bathroom, she said, "Take a shower first, then change your clothes. By the time you're done, it'll be almost time for dinner. The timing is perfect."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou didn't decline anymore. She took the clothes and entered the bathroom.
She closed the bathroom door and looked at herself in the mirror. She seemed both familiar and strange.
She stood there, staring blankly at her reflection.
I don't know how much time had passed before she suddenly pulled herself together and turned on the shower.
...
...
Half an hour later, Jiang Zhirou came out of the bathroom.
She had a hair - drying cap on her head and a bath towel wrapped around her body.
Seeing this, Lu Wenxi quickly walked up to Jiang Zhirou. She bypassed her, went into the bathroom, and came out with a hair dryer.
"Why did you come out without drying your hair? Be careful not to catch a cold."
As Lu Wenxi spoke, she untied the hair - drying cap on Jiang Zhirou's head, turned on the hair dryer, and started drying her hair.
Jiang Zhirou instinctively dodged.
Lu Wenxi noticed her movement and was also stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong, Mianbao? Why are you dodging when I'm drying your hair?"
A look of panic flashed across Jiang Zhirou's face.
She wasn't used to this.
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Lu Wenxi slapped her forehead. "Look at me. I forgot again that you can't talk now."
"Is the hot air too hot?"
Saying that, Lu Wenxi put her hand under the air outlet to test the temperature.
Jiang Zhirou watched Lu Wenxi's actions, her eyes filled with obscure emotions.
Then, she took the hair dryer from Lu Wenxi's hand and made a gesture to her, indicating that she would do it herself.
Lu Wenxi didn't think much of it. She nodded and said, "I'll go downstairs and wait for you. Come down directly when you're done."
Jiang Zhirou nodded slightly.
She watched Lu Wenxi's back until her figure disappeared around the corner. Then Jiang Zhirou withdrew her gaze and turned on the hair dryer in her hand.
...
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Chi Yu had just returned to Yuhaiwan when the doorbell rang.
He turned around and opened the door.
There stood Chi Weichuan outside the door, carrying large and small bags in his hands and a bag in his mouth.
The moment the door opened, Chi Weichuan slipped in sideways.
With something in his mouth, he walked in while mumbling something.
"Big...￥%……*……% They're all *&…… little *……*& sister - in - law……￥……&%& stuff."
Chi Yu: "..."
"Straighten your tongue before you talk."
Chi Weichuan put down the things in his hands one by one. Then he pointed at the bags on the ground and said to Chi Yu, "Brother, these are all the supplements I bought for little sister - in - law. They're all good stuff. Remember to cook them for her."
After saying that, Chi Weichuan scanned the room with his eyes.
He didn't see the figure of "Qingmian".
Then, with his big head held high, he looked at Chi Yu and asked, "Brother, where's my little sister - in - law? Didn't you pick her up from the hospital?"
Chi Yu glanced at the things piled up on the ground.
Almost all of them were supplements like bird's nests, and he also bought a lot of canned food for Xiaoju.
This kid, Chi Weichuan, was quite thoughtful.
Chi Yu withdrew his gaze, bypassed Chi Weichuan, and reached out to close the door. "She's going to stay at Wenxi's place for a few days."
As he spoke, he walked into the house.
Hearing this, Chi Weichuan scratched the back of his head and whispered, "Little sister - in - law just got out of the hospital, and you let her stay at someone else's place. You're so heartless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Chi Weichuan.
Chi Weichuan immediately shut his mouth and pretended not to know anything. He ran to the side and picked up Xiaoju, who was having dinner.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
Chi Yu sat on the sofa, his eyes fixed on Chi Weichuan, who was playing with the cat.
Hearing Chi Yu's question, Chi Weichuan slapped his forehead. He almost forgot the important thing.
He quickly put down Xiaoju in his arms and took out his laptop from his bag.
Soon, several surveillance images appeared on the screen.
"Brother, you guessed right. That imposter really lived in that factory in the suburbs."
At this point, Chi Weichuan glanced at Chi Yu and then continued, "But Brother Zuo and I were still one step too late. She had already left when we got there. This is what we found there."
Chi Weichuan tapped on the keyboard, flipped out a bunch of photos, and zoomed in.
"She was really after little sister - in - law. Moreover, judging from this, it seems that she was ready to... you know, do something with little sister - in - law."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yu's face instantly turned cold. "Involve Qingmian? She's not even qualified."
Chi Weichuan put it very euphemistically. He didn't dare to say the words "die together".
The photos on the screen showed the factory where Xiang Yun had hidden before.
And the content of the photos was a dense collection of pictures.
They were the same pictures that Xiang Yun had pasted on the wall.
They were pictures of Qingmian.
And each picture had a bright red and glaring cross drawn on it.
"Have you found out where she has been frequently showing up recently?" Chi Yu asked.
Hearing this, Chi Weichuan quickly pulled up all the surveillance information of Xiang Yun's recent appearances.
"Here."
Chi Weichuan pointed to the upper - right corner of the screen.
Chi Yu looked in the direction of his finger and his face darkened.
This place was just one street away from Yuhaiwan. She was really bold.
"However, Brother, she has a pretty strong anti - reconnaissance awareness. This is all the surveillance footage of her that I could find."
"She's deliberately avoiding these surveillance cameras."
Chi Yu stared at the images on the screen. After a long while, he said, "An Ya must have trained her. Otherwise, she couldn't have deceived Chen Yu'an for three years."
"She's not as simple as we thought."
"Damn it!" As soon as Chi Yu finished speaking, Chi Weichuan swore.
"This stinky imposter really thinks of herself as a rich young lady. Even in this situation, she still wants to deal with little sister - in - law. Is she crazy?"
Chi Weichuan was extremely angry.
Chi Yu's face wasn't much better than Chi Weichuan's.
Xiang Yun's only relative was already dead. Now she had nothing to worry about. What she wanted... might not be as simple as they thought.
