Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Young People Eat a Lot Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Young People Eat a Lot Xi Wanfen, dressed in pajamas, shook her head as she walked down; she still couldn’t believe that what she had just heard was true.
“Mom, Dad, are you saying Sister Linlin isn’t my real sister? That they aren’t your biological children?”
Li Shirui, seeing that she could no longer hide the truth, decided not to keep hiding it. She pointed to a spot next to the couch, “Sit down here, and I’ll explain everything slowly.”
Xi Wanlin took a seat.
“Mom, what exactly is going on? No wonder Sister Linlin hasn’t co ho for so long. So, she isn’t your biological child, but if she isn’t, then who is? How did you know she isn’t yours? And where is my real sister?”
Xiao Fen bombarded her with questions, her curiosity insatiable.
Li Shirui caressed Xiao Fen’s head and asked her, “Do you care about Sister Linlin?”
Xiao Fen shook her head, “I do care about her. Although we always fought and argued, she has been my sister for so many years; we certainly shared so affection.”
Li Shirui continued, “I know, and we also truly care about her. Actually, it wasn’t her fault in the beginning, but after she discovered the truth, she didn’t tell us, resulting in our biological daughter being left out in the cold and suffering greatly.”
“My sister knew the truth?” Xiao Fen was shocked again.
“She knew.”
“She probably couldn’t bear to leave you,” Xiao Fen said.
“No matter what, now that everything has co to light, we owe our biological daughter, and it will be difficult for her to truly accept us if Linlin doesn’t leave.”
Xiao Fen couldn’t help asking, “Mom, you still haven’t told , who is my real sister?”
“You know her, she even saved your life once.”
“Sister Su?”
Xiao Fen was stunned for a long ti.
No wonder everyone said that Sister Su resembled mom, and no wonder she felt an imdiate kinship when she first saw Su ixi.
So, it turns out…
“Mom, I like Sister Su, but what about Sister Linlin? Are we really just giving her up?”
Li Shirui embraced Xiao Fen’s shoulder, “Your dad used to specifically target criminals; he detested criminal acts vehently. Linlin was left with us through her biological parents’ criminal acts. If we continue to keep Sister Linlin with us, that ans we are also condoning these actions.”
…
At night, Xi Wanfen went to a large shopping mall nearby.
Knowing the truth had upset her, necessitating a walk outside.
She could never have imagined that the kind of lodramatic story only seen on TV would actually happen in her own family.
When people are troubled, they usually choose to drink, but Xiao Fen didn’t drink.
She walked into a Starbucks, ordered a coffee, and sat quietly.
Sipping slowly, she pondered over the day’s events.
She thought about calling Su ixi but hesitated several tis before finally deciding against it.
While she sat brooding over her troubles, three young n walked into Starbucks; Xi Wanfen didn’t notice them, but one of them noticed her.
Liang Zhanbai didn’t greet Xi Wanfen right away; the three n first went inside to order coffees and then walked to another empty table, taking out their phones to prepare for a ga tournant.
After one round of gas, Liang Zhanbai saw that Xi Wanfen was still sitting with a heavy heart.
Finally, Liang Zhanbai put down his phone and said to the other two, “You guys go ahead; I’m going to say hello to soone I know.”
The other two n looked at each other, puzzled. Didn’t he always claim to be a bachelor by choice? Why was he approaching a young and beautiful woman?
So, they also stopped playing their ga and watched the scene unfold from their seats.
“Xi Wanfen, Xi Wanfen?” Liang Zhanbai called her na twice before Xi Wanfen ca to her senses.
“Ah? Dr. Liang! What are you doing here? Ca for a coffee?” Xi Wanfen asked.
Liang Zhanbai pointed to his two companions, “Just here to have coffee with two college roommates and play so gas. Why are you here alone?”
“I… it’s nothing, just bored and ca out for a walk, it’s my day off today, right?”
“Do you play gas? Want to join us for a round of ‘Honor of Kings’ or sothing?”
“Sure,” Xi Wanfen clearly knew how to play.
Being bored and invited by the person she secretly admired, how could she say no?
Xi Wanfen picked up her coffee and joined them.
Liang Zhanbai introduced everyone, and then the four of them distributed tasks and began playing according to their respective roles.
Although Xi Wanfen seed quiet and not too bright, she was actually quite skilled at gaming. The three n thought she was just a novice but were surprised at her prowess.
Thus, they ended up playing gas for two hours.
Later, one of the n received a call saying his girlfriend had finished her night shift, and he needed to go pick her up.
The other roommate, feeling awkward about being two n with one woman, also found an excuse to leave.
Xi Wanfen felt a bit embarrassed, “Dr. Liang, do you… have to go too? If you have things to do, you can go ahead.”
Liang Zhanbai smiled brightly, his eyes gleaming as he spoke, “I’ve been sitting too long; my back is a bit sore and I’m also a bit hungry. How about I treat you to so late-night food?”
Xi Wanfen was pleasantly surprised, “Really? That sounds great.”
“What would you like to eat?”
Xi Wanfen didn’t hold back, “There’s a wooden hut barbecue place up ahead; how about we go there?”
“Sure.”
Ten minutes later, they were sitting at the barbecue restaurant.
Both being young and not prone to gaining weight, and having been hungry for a while, Xi Wanfen ordered a lot.
Liang Zhanbai also ordered quite a bit.
Before long, the barbecue in front of them was piled up like a small mountain.
Xi Wanfen felt apologetic, “I’m really putting you out tonight.”
“It’s not like we eat out often, just once in a while,” Liang Zhanbai replied.
Their al was worth three to four hundred.
Initially, Xi Wanfen ate reservedly, picking at the food slowly, but she was really hungry and the barbecue was delicious, so her pace quickened significantly; she popped one atball after another into her mouth, swiftly cleaning each skewer of at.
In contrast, while Liang Zhanbai ate elegantly, he was quite fast too, and it didn’t take long before the large plateful of barbecue was nearly finished.
“Do you want so more?” Liang Zhanbai asked.
“No, I’m full after this,” said Xi Wanfen, picking up one last starchy sausage.
When she was almost done, Liang Zhanbai finally asked, “Earlier at Starbucks, it seed like you were preoccupied with sothing on your mind. Did sothing happen?”
“…” Xi Wanfen didn’t respond.
“It’s okay, I was just asking casually. You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.”
Xi Wanfen, worried that he might leave once they finished eating, said, “Well, it’s like this, I have a friend…”
