Chapter 690: Chapter 689: Soon We Will Be Drinking Their Wedding Wine Chapter 690: Chapter 689: Soon We Will Be Drinking Their Wedding Wine ntioning this suddenly brought tears to Hua Ying’s eyes.
Without saying a word, tears began to fall, pitter-patter.
???
Daine panicked, suddenly finding the spicy strips in his hand completely unappetizing.
He had only asked one question, how did he end up making the girl cry?
“Miss Hua, this…”
Xiao Qimo stood coldly to the side, completely immune to the girl’s tears, while Wa Zhiqi, who was as thick-skinned as they ca, pretended to examine the room’s equipnt, without any intention of helping.
Daine: …
“Miss Hua, please calm down, stop crying…” Daine was clueless on how to comfort a girl.
He pulled out all the spicy strips from his pocket, “Do you want so spicy strips?”
Hua Ying cried even harder.
“No, don’t cry, crying won’t solve the problem.” Seeing the young lady cry so heartbreakingly, Daine couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
And their original plan to ask so questions was now at a standstill.
Having no other choice, Daine glared at Wa Zhiqi, who was enjoying the scene, “Send a ssage to Miss Lu, ask her to co over and comfort Miss Hua!”
“Ah?
Have Lu Mian comfort soone?” Wa Zhiqi thought Captain Daine hadn’t quite grasped Lu Mian’s character.
Lu Mian might look like a vibrant and beautiful girl on the outside, but she walked a fierce and unbeatable wild path.
“They’re both girls, let her give it a try.” Daine didn’t understand what had upset Hua Ying, but he couldn’t just leave her crying like that.
Young girls have things in common; Lu Mian could probably comfort her…
hopefully.
In the end, Wa Zhiqi not only ssaged Lu Mian but also contacted Wang Xintong.
After the two ladies arrived, the three n stepped out.
As Xiao Qimo passed by Lu Mian, he subtly brushed the back of her hand, unabashed in front of everyone.
After being force-fed a mouthful of dog food, Daine glared at Wa Zhiqi, who ducked his head and scurried off guiltily.
Only Wang Xintong, Lu Mian, and Hua Ying were left in the room.
Wang Xintong walked over to Hua Ying with sympathy and hugged her, “Miss Hua, do you miss your dad?
Don’t worry, we will all work together to rescue Dr.
Hua.”
Hua Ying sobbed and nodded, sowhat calming down.
“Thank you…”
“There, there, don’t cry.
Whatever grievances you have, or anything you want to say, you can talk to Sister.
Sister will help you…” Wang Xintong continued to comfort her with patience and gentleness.
Being able to help Hua Ying would make her own role at the office that much more significant.
If she could also assist in cracking the case, Mr.
Sikong and the president would surely treat her differently.
While she was calculating her own gains, Hua Ying was not appreciative, pointing at Lu Mian and speaking to Wang Xintong, “I would like to talk to Sister Mianmian alone, could you please step outside?”
“…”
Wang Xintong was quite embarrassed.
She had ant well by coming to comfort soone, but she was now being chased out.
What kind of spell had Lu Mian cast on Hua Ying, that Hua Ying was so stuck on her?
With feelings of reluctance and annoyance, she left the room, closing the door behind her, her dissatisfaction with Lu Mian growing.
But in fact, Lu Mian’s attitude was much worse than Wang Xintong’s, even worse than the three n’s earlier deanor.
She sat by the tea table minding her own business, legs crossed leisurely, engrossed in her ga, neither speaking nor offering comfort.
After sobbing for a while, Hua Ying finally spoke up weakly.
“Sister Mianmian…”
Lu Mian lifted her head lazily, “Speak.”
“…” Hua Ying bit her lip, “You rember my father, don’t you?”
“Of course.
Doctor Hua still owes a report.”
“I wouldn’t know that; Father also ntioned you, he had lots of good things to say about you.” She had seen Lu Mian’s photo at her father’s place, so when she arrived in Shencheng, she recognized Lu Mian at first sight.
Lu Mian’s expression was very indifferent, uninterested in this kind of small talk.
“In this unfamiliar place, the only person I know is you.
I’m also afraid they will take away, but I know that you will protect , right?”
Hua Ying kept releasing goodwill and enthusiasm towards Lu Mian, but she did not receive a corresponding response.
Lu Mian was too stingy with her emotions, rarely showing tenderness or patience to anyone, and she asked in a strictly businesslike manner, “Miss Hua, what did you see when Dr.
Hua had his accident?”
Hua Ying bit her lip, her eyes reddening again.
“I feel so sorry for my dad, I even had an argunt with him that day…”
Lu Mian looked up at Hua Ying, seemingly judging her micro-expressions.
Continuing, Hua Ying said, “After my dad disappeared, I was really sad.
If only I’d been more sensible…
But now, I have no idea where he is.
That afternoon, he was walking ahead angrily, and I was chasing after him, arguing.
When we passed through the garden of our housing complex, Dad suddenly vanished.”
Lu Mian frowned, “Suddenly?”
“Yes, just like that, a person right in front of you – whoosh – gone.” Hua Ying recalled, “My mind went completely blank; by the ti I ca to, my dad had disappeared…”
Lu Mian had a strong capacity to accept things.
Having experienced so things herself, she was very calm about such surreal events others spoke of and could accept them.
“Rest well, I’m leaving.” Having made up her mind, Lu Mian put away her phone and got up lazily.
Hua Ying: …
“Sister Mianmian, you will definitely find my dad, won’t you?”
“We will,” Lu Mian nodded.
“Thank you.
He’s the only family I have left.
I won’t argue with him anymore; I just want him to co back…”
Lu Mian disliked listening to these sentintal things, slightly nodding her head before opening the door and leaving, with Hua Ying following to the doorway.
“Sister Mianmian, I heard that you and Mr.
ɴοѵǤο.сο
Qimo are dating, is your relationship still going well?”
Lu Mian didn’t understand why she had jumped to this topic and perfunctorily replied with a “pretty good” before walking away.
Hua Ying stood at the door, watching her departing figure for a long while before returning to her room.
——
Daine and Wang Zhiqi dejectedly returned to the office where Sikong Jian was reading the office’s paperwork, glancing up at them.
“What’s wrong?”
Wang Zhiqi, with a troubled expression, said, “Captain Daine made the witness cry.”
“I didn’t say anything…” Daine, feeling aggrieved, munched on a couple of spicy sticks, then turned and asked Wang Zhiqi sowhat aggressively, “Did you remind Mr.
Qimo to be mindful of his personal conduct, like I asked you to?”
“I didn’t say it…” Wang Zhiqi tried to console him, “It’s not a big deal, and besides, they’re going to get married soon.
It’s not necessary!”
“Married?”
Sikong, reacting even quicker than Daine, slapped down the file in his hand.
“Yes, Mr.
Qimo said that after this case is over, we’ll be able to celebrate his and Miss Lu’s wedding.
It’s going to be a grand and sensational wedding,” Wang Zhiqi was already imagining the impressive wedding the Xiao Family would throw.
Sikong leaned his tongue against his palate and let out a cold laugh.
“I need so air.”
“Mr.
Sikong?” Wang Zhiqi followed him.
“Don’t follow,” Sikong said.
Sikong Jian left the office and took out the office’s newly issued mobile phone to send Lu Mian a ssage.
Having read the profiles of the office mbers, he naturally rembered Lu Mian’s number.
[I’ll be waiting for you under the old parasol tree in the back garden.]
