She unceremoniously raised her foot and kicked Mr. Wang to the ground. “Go to the police station and reflect on your actions.”
Mr. Wang was really just a hooligan and did not do much evil. He usually collected protection fees and so on. Sending them to the police station was also a chance for them to become a new person.
When the police arrived, Shen Hanxing and Xiao Yu were eating potato chips. The scene was quite peaceful if ignoring the people lying around them.
The police officer who came over to question them held back his laughter. “Let’s go. Come back to the police station with us and make a statement.”
The police officer was very familiar with Mr. Wang and the others. He knew that they were a gang from this area.
Shen Hanxing immediately became obedient. “Okay, Mr. police officer.”
Mr. Wang, who was lying on the ground, “...”
Damn, this woman changed her attitude quickly!
When the two of them finished giving statements at the police station and returned home, the dishes were ready to go. Her grandma muttered, “Where did you two go? You two are adults, why do I still have to ask you to come home for dinner?”
Shen Hanxing and Xiao Yu looked at each other feeling helpless.
Shen Hanxing took out the snacks from the shopping bag and asked Han Yin and Chu Feng to coax her grandma. Only then did the matter come to an end and they all happily went to the table to eat.
..
In the evening, Shen Hanxing returned to the Ji family’s villa.
The younger ones already returned from school. They sat at the dining table in silence. The atmosphere was tense, but none of them got up and left.
The servant heard the door opening and ran to the door. “Madam, you’re finally back. Shall I serve dinner?”
“Yes.”
Her gaze swept past the people who were sitting at the dining table. Finally, her gaze landed on Ji Yan and asked, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“No.”
Ji Yan lowered his eyes. She only married into the Ji family for one day, but as soon as she left, the house seemed to be lacking something. It felt empty and lifeless.
Even the servants were anxiously looking forward to the return of the person who brought fresh energy to the villa.
Now that she was back, the entire villa seemed to have been injected with energy and came back to life.
Ji Mo was keenly aware of the changes in the atmosphere. He smiled obediently and said, “Sister-in-law, I heard that you went to visit your grandma today, right? Can I go with you next time I’m on vacation? I also want to visit your grandma.”
“Of course.”
Although Shen Hanxing was surprised, she didn’t refuse. She smiled and handed over the shopping bag in her hand. “There are some snacks inside. Try them later. They taste pretty good.”
Ji Mo stretched out his hand in a daze. “For me?”
Inside the shopping bag was a pile of colorful snacks. The colors were bright, and the packaging was childish, like something to coax a three-year-old child.
“Yes, but you have to eat your meal before you can eat snacks.”
Shen Hanxing nodded with a smile, then took out another bag and handed it to Ji Ning. “Xiao Ning also gets some.”
Ji Ning’s eyes were bright and her little face was red as she took the shopping bag and held it tightly in her arms. Then, she whispered, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”
“So well-behaved”
Ji Ning’s timid look was adorable. Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but pat her on the head, watching the smile on her face become even wider.
“S, Sister-in-law...”
Ji Yang saw that his siblings all had snacks, but he didn’t. He was too embarrassed to ask for them in front of everyone, so he could only stutter and hint, “Thank you, sister-in-law, for lunch today. It was delicious.”
“Good, as long as you like it.”
Meeting his expectant gaze, Shen Hanxing paused for a moment before handing over the last packet of snacks. “This is for you.”
Initially, she did not prepare anything for Ji Yang. However, when she was buying snacks, she suddenly remembered how Ji Yang looked when he was fighting for a lunch box in the morning. Hence, she prepared an extra bag for him.
When he saw that he also received a bag of snacks, Ji Yang was visibly happy. He excitedly opened the shopping bag and listed out what he saw, “Potato chips, lollipops, chicken feet... These are all snacks for children...”
“Brother, if you don’t like them, you can give them to me. I like these snacks.” Ji Mo’s eyes flashed as his gaze fell on the bag that Ji Yang clutched tightly. He smiled at him like an obedient child.
“Bullshit! Who said I don’t like them!”Ji Yang instantly hugged his snack bag even tighter and stared at his younger brother with a warning gaze. “I like them, I like them very much. Don’t even think about touching my snacks!”
Ji Ning listened to the childish conversation between her older brother and her younger brother and smiled. However, she secretly hid her snack bag under the table. Her round eyes shined cunningly.
She had to protect the snacks that her sister-in-law gave her. She couldn’t let her brothers snatch them away.
