Chapter 927 - You’re Scared of Her (1/2)

“How is this place?” Jian Qingying asked her daughter. “This place is pretty good. Let’s go in and try things.” She helped Xia Ruoxin along like a mother teaching a child to walk. She was careful as if she were afraid that her daughter would fall.

Xia Ruoxin was not a child that had just learned to walk, but her every step was startling. Just survival was already tough for her.

This was a newly opened place for Korean cuisine. Jian Qingying had only heard about it recently, but she did not really like it. She still liked Chinese food better and did not see what was good about them. However, she did not mind jumping on the bandwagon and trying it out.

“This place is fine.” Xia Ruoxin did not want to pick, but she really did want a different taste. Otherwise, she would be going back to a pot of soup.

Qin Xuejuan’s soups were good and nutritious, but she could not drink it every day. No matter how delicious, one would get sick of having the same food every day. She really did feel sick now.

She desperately wanted something else to eat. All she had at the hospital was soup so she would take anything but soup right now.

Jian Qingying was not unfamiliar with such restaurants. She ordered a few items off the menu that were relatively easy on the stomach. Things like seafood were definitely off the list.

After a while, the food they ordered arrived.

“Eat.” Jian Qingying placed the chopsticks on her daughter’s hands.

“Thanks, Mom.” Xia Ruoxin took them from her and took a big bite of the food. Since she did not have to pretend to be someone else, her relationship with Jian Qingying improved.

Without the burden of lying, life was much better. People should live more simply.

“Welcome.” Customers came in from outside. The restaurant was not very crowded, perhaps because it was a new establishment, or perhaps because of its price tags. Xia Ruoxin took a look at the menu earlier, and it was rather expensive.

“Brother Lui, shall we sit here?”

The sudden voice made Xia Ruoxin drop the vegetable that she just picked up.

“What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?” Jian Qingying took a bite. It was not bad.

“No, I’m just not used to this taste.” Xia Ruoxin picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of meat in her mouth. She had not had meat in a really long time. However, she had had quite a bit of pig’s liver. Qin Xuejuan had been brewing her pork liver soup since she hurt her liver and bladder.

She looked up, and as expected, the two of them were seated near her.

Chu Lui seemed to have discovered her gaze. He turned and met her sarcastic and plastered smile.

“Brother Lui, what are you looking at?” Xia Yixuan wanted to talk to Chu Lui but found that his attention was not on her. She turned to look, and all the blood disappeared from her face.

It can’t be. That can’t be. Didn’t he say she was dead? That everything had been cleaned?

Xia Ruoxin’s smile grew. Xia Yixuan, are you disappointed that I’m not dead yet? What are you going to do from now on?
