CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 8: XU MEIMEI SEEKING TROUBLE

"But speaking of which, what were you thinking, letting Xu Meimei marry Zhou Jincai?" Han Shouxin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "Yes, it might be the most painful for Xu Meimei, but it also grants her a certain freedom and the ability to hurt your family. You know her mental state is really not normal."

"Rather than that, wouldn’t it be simpler if she were in a mental hospital? Wouldn’t that be more peaceful?"

"I’ve thought about that too." Shen Chi quickly ate the banana in his hand and wiped his mouth, "Calling Xu Meimei’s condition a mental illness is a bit of an overstatement. Once in the mental hospital, if the experts saw her, there’s no telling that she couldn’t be out in half a year or a year. I was thinking of playing some tricks, but you also know my current situation, big brother."

He gestured upward with his finger, "They are all watching me." Otherwise, Xu Meimei’s matter wouldn’t have dragged on for so long.

"What you say makes sense." Han Shouxin still frowned, "But Xu Meimei is ultimately a ticking time bomb."

For people like them, a "conspirator" like Dong Fei who was exposed isn’t worth mentioning anymore, instead, a senseless mad dog like Xu Meimei is much more feared.

"Don’t worry." Shen Chi hooked the corner of his mouth with a faint smile, "I’ve never said that Xu Meimei doesn’t need to go to a mental hospital, just that the timing of her admission would be different. When the time comes, I will make sure she stays there rightfully for a lifetime."

Lin Xiaoguai heard their conversation, feeling a bit surprised yet somewhat expected. In her impression, Shen Chi had always been a ruthless and meticulous person. She had never thought about changing him, nor was there any need to. Because she understood that in their current position, being like Shen Chi was the optimal way to survive, and she seemed somewhat overly compassionate in comparison.

What was set in her previous life could not be changed, all she could do was to remain silent about his actions.

When she left the Yu Family’s house, it was already getting late. Lin Xiaoguai put hats and scarves on the quadruplets, standing at the door waiting for Shen Chi to bring the car around.

There had been quite a few guests today, and they were leaving gradually. Seeing Lin Xiaoguai standing there with the children waiting for the car, many came forward to greet her.

Lin Xiaoguai smiled and responded, wondering why Shen Chi hadn’t come yet. At that moment, Shen Chi sent a text saying he was delayed by some matter and asked her to wait inside for a bit.

It was deep autumn now. The daytime did not feel very cold, but the night wind was bitterly cold. Lin Xiaoguai didn’t mind waiting a bit longer herself, but she didn’t want the children to suffer, so she took them to the Yu Family’s living room.

"Mrs. Shen." Just as she sat down, someone came over to greet her.

Lin Xiaoguai looked up and immediately smiled, "Mrs. Zheng, who is this beside you?" She looked at the young girl beside her.

She had seen Mrs. Zheng’s daughter, who was still of high school age, but the girl beside her looked about twenty, a pretty girl with big eyes.

"This is my niece from my maternal family, Gu Xiaoyu. Just call her Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu, say hello to Aunt Shen."

"Hello, Aunt Shen," Xiaoyu said softly, her cheeks red.

"Hello." Lin Xiaoguai found the girl’s demeanor a bit odd but couldn’t figure out why.

"Mrs. Shen, I was just about to ask you something. I heard from a clerk at your store the other day that the store is going to start carrying diamond jewelry, is that true?" Mrs. Zheng asked softly.

"That’s true, it’s scheduled for this New Year. If Mrs. Zheng is interested, you’re welcome to visit." Lin Xiaoguai smiled.

"Of course." Mrs. Zheng patted Xiaoyu’s hand, "My niece has also reached the age to get married, and as her aunt, I must add to her dowry. These young people like what I don’t quite understand, but I heard that buying diamonds is now popular for weddings, so I’m also following the trend."

"Aunt~" Xiaoyu blushingly protested, her eyes sneaking a glance at Lin Xiaoguai.

Lin Xiaoguai paused, having a little idea in her mind.

Indeed, she then heard Mrs. Zheng ask, "Speaking of which, why didn’t your eldest son come this time?"

I see...

Lin Xiaoguai, realizing this, smiled and responded, "He’s very busy with schoolwork. He had already requested leave, but then there was a sudden drill, and he couldn’t get away. When he returns, I’ll make sure he and his sister apologize."

"That’s how it is." Mrs. Zheng smiled, a look of sudden realization on her face, "By the way, does your esteemed son have a girlfriend now?"
