Kapitel 34: Chapter 34
"Ms. Zheng was food poisoned. Don't let her eat uncooked foods."
"Doc, why did she faint?"
Meixiu asks worriedly.
"Ms. Zheng is stressed. It wasn't much, but as she ate, it worsened to the point she fainted."
"Don't worry. It's that harmful."
After speaking, the doctor went out of the room. Meixiu sat down on the chair beside Xiaohui and held her hands.
Grandma Peng approaches her.
"What did she eat earlier?"
"She ordered a Wagyu Steak cooked medium-rare."
"Are you two with Zedong earlier?"
Grandma Peng looks at Zedong, who's sitting on the couch, spacing out. Meixiu nodded and held Xiaohui's hand tightly.
"I accidentally saw them. I was going out with a friend. She invited me."
Meixiu stands up from her chair as she feels Xiaohui's hand moving. Zedong approached the bed and saw Xiaohui opening her eyes slowly.
"Xiaohui! Are you alright?"
Meixiu quickly held Xiaohui's head, grabbing the attention of the shorter girl. Xiaohui blinks for a while and nods.
Meixiu sighs in relief.
"Xiaohui, don't stress yourself too much."
Grandma Peng peeks from behind Meixiu. Xiaohui smiled and nodded her head.
"Xiaohui, I'll get going now. Take care of yourself."
Xiaohui's gaze fell on Zedong. She smiles and slightly bows her head.
"Yes, thank you for your concern."
Zedong looks at Meixiu and bows his head. Meixiu nodded as Zedong looked at Grandma Peng and did the same thing.
The guy left the room. Meixiu turns her attention to Xiaohui.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
Xiaohui nodded her head. Her eyes trailed to her hands, seeing Meixiu holding them tightly.
Meixiu follows her gaze and quickly removes her hands from Xiaohui's.
"Sorry, I was worried."
"You shouldn't say sorry. It's ok to be worried because of your wife."
Grandma Peng said, patting Meixiu's back.
"I'll buy Xiaohui fruits, ok? You stay here."
Meixiu nodded her head. She puts her hand in her pocket and gives Grandma Peng money.
Grandma Peng shakes her head.
"I still have money in my pocket. Don't worry."
"Take care, Grandma."
Xiaohui waves her hand as Grandma Peng leaves the two.
"Are you sure you're ok now?"
Xiaohui looks at Meixiu. She smiled and nodded.
"You know we don't have the money to pay or this."
"Your health is more important. I don't care if my pocket money went away because of this hospital. I always wanted to see you happy and healthy."
-
"Xiaohui! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to push you too much!"
As soon as they went in, Xiaowen was already on the floor. Her hands clasping each other, apologizing to Xiaohui.
Xiaohui looks at her mother.
"Mom, I'm tired. Can we talk about this tomorrow?"
Meixiu walks inside with Grandma Peng behind her. She walks back inside the kitchen to cook food.
"No! Please forgive me! I don't mean to push you that much!"
Meixiu shakes her head, listening to Xiaowen and Xioahui.
"Mom, please, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"No! Forgive me! I didn't mean it!"
Xiaowen hugs Xiaohui's leg, not wanting to let her go. Xiaohui sighed and nodded. She patted her mother's head.
"Ok, I forgive you."
Xiaowen looked up and met Xiaohui's eyes.
"Really?"
Xiaowen stands up from kneeling. She wipes her tears as Xiaohui nods again.
"But don't ever push me to divorce Meixiu."
Xiaowen's smile faded from her face. She huff and crosses her arms.
"Why? Do you like her already? Don't you know that it's only a contract for you two to be married?"
"Contract?"
"Yes! Your father told me Meixiu was about to be sold, but the seller said he can give him Meixiu, but he needs to provide her an education and a shelter!"
Xiaohui furrows her eyebrows.
"What do you mean? Meixiu was about to be sold?"
"Meixiu was owned by someone after she was thrown away from the orphanage. Human Trafficking."
After speaking, Xiaowen went inside her room. Xiaohui looked at Meixiu, who was whistling while cooking, and decided to approach her.
"Xiaohui, you should be resting in our room."
"Let me help you."
Xiaohui grabs the wooden spoon from Meixiu's hand. She mixed the food on the pan and tasted it.
Meixiu looks at her.
"How was it?"
"It's delicious!"
Xiaohui smiles widely. She gives Meixiu the wooden spoon as the taller tastes it.
"Not like the food from earlier."
"I don't like the taste. I like yours more."
"How are you after being with us?"
Meixiu furrows her eyebrows.
"What do you mean?"
"Mom said, we are married with a contract. Does that mean we need to divorce soon?"
Meixiu stops for a while. She frowns and looks at Xiaohui.
Did my mother-in-law know about the contract?
"She said you were about to be sold to someone. You were in the hands of a human trafficker."
Meixiu's face frowned.
"What are you saying? Where did she learn that?"
Xiaohui looks at the dish. She grabs the wooden spoon and mixed the soup.
"Mom said my father told her that."
Huh! Mr. Shen knew how to make stories?
"Hm. I still have something to do..."
"I can look after it."
Meixiu patted Xiaohui's head and left her behind. She went inside their bedroom and took out her phone.
Rong, can you please check the food storage of Lizard Restaurant?
Is there something wrong? Within the restaurant?
My wife together with our friends ate there earlier. My wife was poisoned.
Do you want me to remove them?
Change the head.
Lizard Restaurant is another Michelin restaurant inside the Emerald hotel. As the Sky Garden is close, everyone dines inside Lizard Restaurant.
Meixiu wanted to check the restaurant as she didn't want anyone to experience what her wife experienced.
After texting, Meixiu went out. She saw the dining table was ready.
"Let's eat."
She saw Xiaohui with Grandma Peng, walking out of the kitchen.
-
"Emerald Hotel removes the head of Lizard Restaurant."
"Emerald Hotel decided to roam around the food storages of Lizard Restaurant and they found awful stuff."
"People have been complaining about their experience as they always vomit after eating. They thought it was about their stomach but Emerald Hotel finally reveals it."
"Wu Yun, the handler of Lizard Restaurant was fired by Wu Rong."
"Yun is a great man, that's bad he's fired."
Zedong looks at the television. He finally understands why Meixiu seems like she's someone no one can afford.
Meixiu was born into a wealthy family. Perhaps much richer than him! Or Suyin!
But, why is she staying with Xiaohui and Xiaowen?
If Meixiu was born, what family is she in?
It seems like Meixiu has a connection with Wu Rong, the CEO of Emerald Hotel. If that's the case, then Meixiu has a connection with the Ren Family!
Or it could be Meixiu being a Ren herself.
Zedong shakes his head.
Meixiu is probably friends with Rong. She's not related to the Ren family or she has a connection with them.
"Zedong, you are falling deeper."
Zedong snaps out of his thought. He look up and saw Qiang with a beer in hand.
Qiang handed the beer to Zedong as the man bowed and thanked him.
"What are you thinking?"
"It's Meixiu."
Qiang looked at him weirdly.
"Shouldn't it be Xiaohui?"
Zedong shakes his head. He sips on his beer before starting straight at Qiang.
"There's something about her."
"What something? There's nothing special about her, she's trash."
"No, I ate with her earlier. She was even with the Young Lady from the Jia family."
"As she was eating, she has the manners of a wealthy person."
"The head of Lizard Restaurant, he was fired because of her! Xiaohui was poisoned earlier!"
"Xiaohui was poisoned?"
Qiang's lips twitch. Zedong sighs and nods, he picks up the beer and sips.
"And Meixiu was the one who causes Wu Yun to be fired."
Qiang shakes his head.
"My stupid uncle picks her up from a human trafficker and she grew up in an orphanage. What are you talking about?"
Zedong was now confused. If that's the case, what's the aura she has been emitting earlier?
Meanwhile, Suyin furrow her eyebrows as she saw the news.
"They should fire that guy."
"Who?"
Grandma Jia was beside her, eating a tangerine. Suyin looks at her Grandma and puts down the apple she's skinning.
"The receptionist guy, he's so rude towards Ms. Song."
"How are you with her?"
"Grandma, she introduces me to her wife."
Grandma Jia looks at her.
"Is she beautiful?"
Suyin shakes her head. Grandma Jia smiles.
"Doll yourself up every time you hang out with Ms. Song, she has more knowledge than us."
"Of course, I need to get her."
"If she's with us, we will be the most powerful family. She can tell by looking at antiques what's fake and not."
"Grandma, we're still not sure about that."
"I know. It will be a great opportunity to put her against Mr. Liu."
