Chapter 605

There were already three dishes on the table.

"You turn on the TV and watch for a while; I'll be done here in a moment. It's been a long time since you've eaten my cooking, right? Brother's skills have improved again recently; you should have a good taste in a bit." Shu Xuan's voice came from the kitchen.

Even without tasting it, Shu Xia could give it a perfect score based on the aroma, "Anything Brother makes is delicious!"

Shu Xuan, busy in the kitchen, had his expression shift slightly.

The things Shen Anran had said to him at noon surfaced in his mind, and his expression became a bit more grave.

Ten minutes later.

Shu Xuan brought out three more dishes from the kitchen.

Shu Xia went over to help.

There were a total of six dishes on the table.

They were perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Shu Xia had been quite full when she arrived, but now, seeing the dishes placed before her eyes, she actually felt a bit hungry.

"Brother's skills can rival Mom's now!" Shu Xia gave a thumbs up to Shu Xuan in praise.

Shu Xuan laughed, "There's definitely still a gap compared to Mom."

Shu Xia was in no rush to talk about matters concerning Shen Anran.

They had grown up together as siblings; Shu Xia could sense that Shu Xuan had something on his mind. Perhaps she could wait for Shu Xuan to speak first.

Nowadays, for her, the most important thing was her family, and she did not want her family to suffer even the slightest bit of harm.

While eating, the two siblings were very tacit; neither said anything.

After the meal, it was Shu Xuan who spoke first, "Xia Xia, you came to find Brother because of Shen Anran, right?"

Shu Xia was peeling an orange, and her hand paused slightly.

"The two of us siblings rarely talk together like this. This afternoon, I thought back carefully; when I brought Shen Anran home, besides surprise, you had some other emotions at the time. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it then. Perhaps because I only had eyes for her, I overlooked a lot," Shu Xuan continued.

Shu Xia put down the orange, "Did Shen Anran come to find Brother today?"

She was somewhat surprised that Shen Anran's skin was thick to this extent.

After what happened last night, she could still come to see Shu Xuan today.

Shu Xuan rarely saw Shu Xia look so sharp.

"Brother, eat an orange first, then tell me what she said," Shu Xia's tone was gentle, neither hurried nor impatient.

Shu Xuan suddenly discovered that his sister had grown up.

No matter what happened, she could handle it calmly.

Even now, knowing some things about Shen Anran and facing him, she could still deal with it unhurriedly.

While he felt gratified, he also felt a bit heartbroken.

"She did indeed come to find me today, and she talked about the entanglement between her and Qiao Muting, as well as some of the situations the Shen Family is currently facing, and even some misunderstandings at the Shenghua Hotel last night. I know all of this now," Shu Xuan said softly.

Shu Xia nodded lightly, "She explained things very comprehensively to Brother. Then Brother should already be clear about her previous affection for Qiao Muting, and also clear about why the Shen Family is facing a crisis now, as well as the fact that she and the Shen Family drugged Qiao Muting last night, right?"

As she spoke, she pulled off the silk scarf wrapped around her neck.

She hadn't taken it off while eating earlier.

She just didn't want to expose such ambiguous marks in front of others, especially her family.

Although Shu Xuan didn't have much experience in matters between men and women, it didn't mean he didn't understand.

Those obvious bruised marks explained what Shu Xia had experienced.

"Thanks to them last night, Qiao Muting was drugged and lost his reason. At the critical moment, he pushed away the Shen Anran who had thrown herself into his arms, and then waited for my arrival," Shu Xia stated the facts in a calm tone, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Shu Xuan frowned tightly, likely realizing something; some words were stuck on his lips and never came out.

Shu Xia continued slowly, "If last night's events were just a misunderstanding as Brother just said, how could Shen Anran come to find Brother today? The Shen Family should be in a state of panic right now. The drug they prepared for Qiao Muting was the newest type. If it weren't for Qiao Muting's astonishing self-control, I'm afraid the Shen Family would have already succeeded."
