Chapter 399 Going Home
After a busy day, the case was wrapped up, and around 8 p.m., the group decided to go out and find a place to eat.

Su Miaoyi knocked on Zhuang Yanzheng's office door: "Are you done with your work?"

"Right away." Zhuang Yanzheng looked up at her and said, "Come in."

Su Miaoyi entered the office and sat on the sofa: "Haven't you found that WeChat account on Guan Zhou's phone yet?"

"We've found it," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Lin Yue's side is investigating this person's superiors, and they'll let us know when they have any information."

Su Miaoyi nodded: "Are there any leads from Lu Xian's side yet?"

“We didn’t find anything,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi sighed; there was no progress anywhere.

Zhuang Yanzheng quickly finished his work: "Have you decided what to eat?"

“They were discussing it, and I said that as long as I could get a bowl of noodles there, it would be fine,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng shut down his computer, grabbed his coat, and stood up: "I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, what's wrong with you? You used to like noodles, but not to this extent? Why do you like noodles so much now?"

Su Miaoyi looked at him. She had stayed up almost all night last night and was a little sleepy now. Her eyes were not very bright. "In D Continent, the only pasta I ate was bread. Xie Zhiyan only knows how to eat salad all day long. He must have been a salad in his past life."

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her.

"Of course, it wasn't that bad. I had to eat meat, I ate a lot of pork chops and steaks, but they were really awful," Su Miaoyi said. "And all those chefs from all over the place, none of them could cook as well as my mom."

Zhuang Yanzheng looked away from his clothes, tugged at his sleeve, paused, and said, "If Aunt Shen hears you say her cooking is delicious, she'll definitely bring you meals three times a day from now on."

Su Miaoyi laughed: "It's alright. Most of the time, it's another personality. She's not picky about food and doesn't know what my mom's cooking tastes like, so she won't compare it to anything."

Zhuang Yanzheng paused for a moment and then said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat noodles."

“I’m not just craving noodles at the restaurant they suggested; I’m craving all kinds of delicious food.” Su Miaoyi also stood up.

"Okay," Zhuang Yanzheng responded, then added, "I'll cover your noodle expenses from now on."

Su Miaoyi's sleepy eyes lit up: "That's why I say you're my real brother, while Shen Yanzhou is, in the end, just a cousin."

Zhuang Yanzheng: "Next time we argue, you'd better take my side."

Su Miaoyi fell silent.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her.

Su Miaoyi said, "I can acknowledge many biological brothers, but I only have one cousin."

Zhuang Yanzheng snorted: "Let's break off our friendship."

“Fine, we can break off the friendship, but not the money.” Su Miaoyi looked at him.

Zhuang Yanzheng ignored her and left the office.

Su Miaoyi laughed.

After dinner, Su Miaoyi told Xi Xian that she was going to her parents' place that night.

"You don't want me anymore?" Xi Xian suddenly said.

Su Miaoyi: "I'm just going home for a few days."

"So, I'm a complete stranger in this place, are you just going to leave me here for several days?"

“What kind of outsider are you? You’ve lived here for twenty-five years, what are you pretending to be?” Su Miaoyi said.

Xi Xian stopped talking, then after a few seconds let out a very loud hum and hung up the phone.

Su Miaoyi: "." How come she has the same temper as An'an?

When she arrived at her doorstep, Su Miaoyi was about to enter the password, but she rang the doorbell instead.

Shen Shilan opened the door: "Lele."

"Mom." Su Miaoyi hugged her and leaned on her shoulder before she even entered the door.

Shen Shilan hugged her and patted her back: "Have you been very tired lately? Your dad said you have another case recently."

"I'm done with work." Su Miaoyi followed her into the room and closed the door. "I plan to stay here for a few days."

"Stay a few more days," Shen Shilan said, stroking her face. "Okay." Su Miaoyi glanced into the living room. "Where's my dad?"

"He's not back yet," Shen Shilan said. "Have you eaten?"

"I've already eaten, I ate with my colleagues," Su Miaoyi said. "Mom, what are you busy with?"

"Revising the paper," Shen Shilan said. "I just finished a video call with a student."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to take a shower. I stayed up all night at the Municipal Bureau yesterday." Su Miaoyi walked towards her room.

“Okay.” Shen Shilan followed her. “Perfect timing. I bought you a few new pajamas. See if you like them.”

“I like it,” Su Miaoyi said. “Mom, the clothes you bought are prettier than the ones I bought.”

Shen Shilan laughed: "Who told you to inherit your father's good taste? Your father has spent his whole life on marrying beautiful wives."

Su Miaoyi picked up her pajamas and looked at her: "Is my dad handsome?"

“Your dad is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen,” Shen Shilan said.

"Compared to your uncle?"

Shen Shilan said disdainfully, "Your uncle? I originally thought he would be a bachelor for life. He has such a bad temper, only your aunt can put up with him."

“Even my uncle wouldn’t dare to do that in front of my aunt,” Su Miaoyi said.

Shen Shilan nodded, then suddenly remembered something and burst out laughing.

Su Miaoyi looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"I just remembered the first time your uncle met your aunt," Shen Shilan said with a smile.

"What? There's more to the story?" Su Miaoyi suddenly became a bit gossipy.

Shen Shilan tied her hair into a bun with a hair tie: "At that time, your dad and I had been dating for several years, but your uncle was still single. Your grandparents were also anxious, so they asked a matchmaker to introduce someone, saying that if there was a suitable person, we could get to know each other."

“When you found a blind date, your uncle refused to meet her no matter what, and your grandma had to block the door with a stick to get him to agree.”

Su Miaoyi was surprised; she had almost no memory of her maternal grandmother.

All I know is that my maternal grandmother used to be in charge of this family.

"Then your aunt came, and as soon as your uncle saw her, his face turned red and he stammered, unable to say a word," Shen Shilan said with a smile.

“No wonder I always heard my aunt say that she married my uncle because she thought he was honest and shy, but it turns out that my uncle even curses at dogs that pass by on the street,” Su Miaoyi said.

Shen Shilan smiled as her phone rang. It was a message from a student. She glanced at it and said, "Go take a shower and get some rest afterward."

"it is good."

Su Miaoyi went to take a shower, and Shen Shilan made a phone call to her student.

After Su Miaoyi finished showering, Shen Shilan also finished her phone call.

Su Miaoyi was drying her hair in the living room when Shen Shilan took the hairdryer from her and started drying her hair.

The hairdryer wasn't very loud. She heard the door open and looked up at the doorway.

First, she saw Qin Chengyuan: "Dad."

Then she saw the people following behind Qin Chengyuan.

She was surprised and brushed the hair in front of her forehead to both sides.

Xi Xian stood at the living room doorway, looking at her.

Su Miaoyi thought that Su Miaoyi had really lost her mind.

Shen Shilan turned off the hair dryer: "You must be Xixian."

Su Miaoyi already told them all yesterday.

Xi Xian nodded.

Su Miaoyi said, "Why are you here?!"
