One-way Passage - Chapter 79
It has been proven that some exercise before bed can be helpful for sleep. Xia Wennan later forgot about his insomnia, and slept until nearly eight in the morning.
When he woke up, Ming Luchuan was no longer in the room. When he was dazed, he reached out to his mobile phone and glanced at him and found that Ming Luchuan had sent him a message: Watching you sleep Dexiang didn’t call you, so I went down first.
Xia Wennan then got up, washed her face and brushed her teeth in a hurry, changed her clothes and went downstairs, when she heard the sound, everyone was already having breakfast in the restaurant.
He just walked to the door of the restaurant, he stopped subconsciously, and saw that Yin Zejing had come back, sitting next to Ming Qin and having breakfast together.
Ming Luchuan seemed to notice his hesitation, raised his head and said to him, “Come and sit.”
Xia Wennan quickly walked to Ming Luchuan and sat down.
Ming Qin asked Xia Wennan with a natural attitude: “Did Wennan sleep well last night?”
Xia Wennan nodded: “Very good.”
Yin Zejing saw that the milk in Mingqin’s cup was finished, and reached out to pick up the milk carton to pour him some more.
Minchin said, “I want coffee.”
Yin Zejing immediately said, “I’ll cook it for you.” After speaking, he got up and went to the kitchen.
After a while, Yin Zejing brought out the brewed coffee, put it in front of Ming Qin, then returned to his seat and sat down. As he continued to eat breakfast, he looked at Ming Qin and said, “Then I’m going to contact the new internship company?”
Minchin said, “Go.”
Yin Zejing put one hand on his face, stirred the cereal in the bowl in front of him with a spoon, and at the same time sighed softly.
Ming Qin picked up the coffee and drank it slowly. When he put it down, he suddenly said to Ming Luchuan and the others: “Uncle Duan’s birthday next week, prepare the gifts you should prepare yourself.”
Xia Wennan raised his head, he didn’t even know which Uncle Duan was.
Ming Siyan said: “I don’t know if Huaiye has any work arrangements by then.”
Ming Qin said: “You can go as far as you can, after all, Uncle Duan is different, he has been in friendship for so many years.” After speaking, Ming Qin looked at Ming Siyan again: “How come Huai Ye has been very Come over?”
Ming Siyan lowered his eyes and stared at the plate in front of him in a daze: “He is very busy with work, and we don’t see much.”
Ming Qin frowned when he heard this: “You have been engaged for so long, you should get married, there is no need to keep delaying time.”
Ming Siyan did not speak, but looked embarrassed. Obviously, this matter was not up to him alone.
Yin Zejing seemed to really want to go out to contact a new internship company, so he left in a hurry after breakfast.
Before Ming Siyan left the restaurant, he said to Xia Wennan, “Wennan, I still have something to do, so I won’t wait for you and eldest brother.”
Xia Wennan said quickly, “Let’s go, don’t delay.”
Ming Siyan waved to Xia Wennan reluctantly.
Xia Wennan came down late. After breakfast, Ming Qin had already left the restaurant and went upstairs. Ming Luchuan also got up and said to get the car first.
Xia Wennan stopped immediately.
“Auntie,” he called.
Auntie raised her head and smiled kindly: “Mr. Xia hasn’t gone to work yet?”
Xia Wennan’s thoughts turned around and asked, “Auntie has been working at Ming’s house for a long time?”
Auntie said: “It didn’t take long, about two years, unlike Sister Zhang, who has worked in the Ming family for more than ten or twenty years.”
Two years sounded a little sensitive to Xia Wennan, he asked: “Did it come after Sichen’s accident?”
Auntie nodded: “Before Sichen’s accident, it is said that Zhang Jie was cooking and cleaning. When Sichen’s accident happened, Zhang Jie went to take care of him, and then hired me to work at Ming’s house.”
“So that’s the case. Then my aunt must know about my car accident.”
Auntie stopped what she was doing: “Yeah, I heard that the other day, I was shocked, but fortunately it’s okay.”
“I had dinner at home that night and drove back alone. Did you prepare the meal?”
“It’s me,” Auntie replied.
“Are you in the kitchen all the time?” Xia Wennan asked.
Dining at Ming’s house for such a long time, he found that basically from the time they started cooking until they finished eating, the aunt would not leave the kitchen.
Hearing Xia Wennan’s question, the aunt recalled it and said, “Yes.”
“Did anyone enter the kitchen that day besides you?”
Auntie looked surprised: “Hey? Why are you asking this question?”
“Who else asked?” Xia Wennan was stunned.
“Mr. Luchuan came down early this morning, and he also asked me this question.”
Xia Wennan was stunned, but not very surprised, so he asked: “Is there any?”
Auntie said: “You came in.”
“I came in? What did I come in for?”
Auntie seemed to have a deep memory of what happened that night, and said: “You said you don’t drink, come in and pour orange juice, I’ll get the cup for you, and get orange juice from the refrigerator.” This sentence, the aunt said: “So I said that you should drink some wine that day, you will not be able to drive, and there will be no accident.”
Xia Wennan smiled: “It’s okay, I’m fine now.” After speaking, he quickly asked, “Has anyone come in before?”
“Sister Zhang came in,” Auntie said, “If there are many people, Sister Zhang will come in to help prepare Sichen’s meal. Sichen’s food is prepared separately. And Xiao Yin seems to be came in.”
“Like?”
“I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, I saw Xiao Yin going out. He seemed to have just returned from a game and took a drink from the refrigerator.”
“Oh—” Xia Wennan was still a little stunned, and replied with a dragging voice.
Auntie said: “Mr. Luchuan asked me just now, and I told him the same. Is there any problem?”
At this moment, the sound of honking came from outside the house, and it sounded that Ming Luchuan had been urging him for a long time.
Xia Wennan had no choice but to say to her aunt: “Nothing, thank you auntie, I’ll go to work first.”
After he finished speaking, he came out of the kitchen, went to the living room, grabbed the coat hanging on the hanger by the door, and walked out to the parking place of Minglu River while wearing it, pulled the co-pilot and sat in.
Ming Luchuan started the car and asked him: “Why so slow?”
Xia Wennan whispered, “I asked the nanny aunt some questions just now.”
Ming Luchuan glanced at him.
Xia Wennan bumped into his elbow: “It’s very late to drive, let’s talk while walking.”
Ming Luchuan drove slowly away from Ming’s house.
Xia Wennan couldn’t help looking back in the rearview mirror and saw the garden that was gradually moving away, and said to Ming Luchuan, “I heard that you also went to ask Auntie.”
Ming Luchuan hummed.
Xia Wennan touched his lips, “You all drank wine that night, and I drank orange juice alone. Did someone put sleeping pills in the orange juice?” He remembered that his aunt said that Yin Zejing had opened the refrigerator to take drink thing.
“No.”
Ming Luchuan’s answer was too firm, Xia Wennan looked at him strangely: “Why are you so sure?”
“Because it’s an unopened bottle of orange juice, you take out the lid I opened for you.”
Xia Wennan was stunned for a while, and his thoughts wandered: “Am I so weak? Do you want to open the bottle cap for me?”
Ming Luchuan glanced at him and said nothing.
Xia Wennan frowned and thought: “Not necessarily, what if the sleeping pills were melted and injected with a needle?”
Ming Luchuan said: “I don’t know, but I don’t think so.”
