Leaving home, Shen Chi set off on his journey to find his wife.
On the same train to Shanghai, he found himself at the familiar police station.
"Su Mingxian? Isn't she the one who got into fights and refused to admit her mistakes, even resorting to shady dealings on the train?" The police officer had a vivid impression of her. "Who are you to her?"
Shen Chi was momentarily taken aback. "Fighting? Refusing to admit mistakes? Engaging in shady dealings? Officer, are you sure you have the right person?"
These were all things his daughter-in-law had done—how could that be possible?
Seeing the disbelief on his face, the police officer's expression darkened. "Mistaken? Impossible. I would recognize Su Mingxian even if she turned to ashes."
Shen Chi: ...
Looking at the officer's resentful expression, Shen Chi began to feel uncertain. What kind of outrageous things had his daughter-in-law done?
It wasn't entirely surprising for the officer to feel this way. Causing a ruckus on the train was one thing, but bothering him after hours was another matter entirely.
Though serving the people was part of his job, he was still human—he needed rest and time to see his girlfriend.
But Su Mingxian had managed to leave him with a troublesome situation. That Yellow-Clothed Thief was indeed a chatterbox, even more annoying than Jiao Hongzhu. As a result, he missed seeing his girlfriend, and there was no further development after that...
When Shen Chi returned to the carriage, he still couldn't believe what had just happened.
His daughter-in-law was involved in business dealings, fighting, and catching thieves—was this really the same person he knew?
However, thinking about what Aunt Cuihua said, he hesitated. To cause such a stir in the Shen Family, one must have some skills; he even felt a bit excited about meeting her, though he had no idea where she was.
Wang Daguo? Mechanical Factory?
He needed to look it up as soon as he got back to Shanghai. Just then—
“Hey—”
Suddenly, a figure lunged at him. Without thinking, he dodged quickly, and with a loud thud, the person fell flat on the ground with a cry of pain.
Su Meili was furious. Where did this reckless fool come from? Was it that hard to catch someone? You’re a man; you wouldn’t lose anything.
She grimaced in pain and was about to turn around and snap at him when she froze upon seeing the person. “Shen Chi? Is that really you?”
She thought she had recognized the wrong person when she called the police station earlier, but it turned out to be him after all.
Shen Chi raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment. “ Su Meili?”
Just then, his phone rang, leaving Su Meili and those around her momentarily confused.
Shen Chi took out his phone and nodded at Su Meili. “I’ll take this call.”
Su Meili stood there dazed for a moment before quickly nodding. “Oh, you go ahead.”
Shen Chi walked over to the smoking area, pulled out a cigarette, and placed it between his lips. With his head lowered as he smoked while talking on the phone, he looked incredibly cool, making Su Meili's heart race even faster.
She suddenly recalled the words she had overheard at the police station and felt a wave of indignation for Shen Chi. How could such a woman with a tarnished reputation ever be worthy of him?
Yet, he was still tirelessly searching for that woman. The thought made Su Meili's eyes turn red with jealousy. If only she hadn't rejected him back then...
Su Mingxian was completely unaware that she had inadvertently stirred up another scandal. Right now, all her focus was on her business.
She had no idea about the grievances from the Shen Family; her mind was solely occupied with her work.
"Sweet and sour with a hint of spice, right? Please wait a moment; it will be ready soon."
Su Mingxian warmly attended to her customers. Although her face was slightly tanned from the sun, she always wore a smile. With her sweet talk and charm, she had gained some fame just days after opening.
"Hey there, sister! Business is booming, huh?"
As Su Mingxian looked up, she spotted the customer who had devoured three bowls of Liangpi on opening day. She couldn't help but smile. "Big brother, you're here! Are you having three bowls again today?"
Hou Tian laughed heartily and quickly waved his hand. "Not today; just one bowl for now."
His words prompted everyone around to burst into laughter.
