Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 2030 - 2048: The Capable Find Their Own Peace

Shen Zian slightly narrowed her eyes, looking at that tall and slender figure with dark undercurrents swirling in her eyes. Just as Su Hai was getting into the car, he unexpectedly turned his head back and met her gaze. Shen Zian was startled by his look, feeling as though she had been seen through.

Impossible! So she calmly returned the gaze, her chubby cheeks slightly puffed, her doe-like eyes carrying a thin anger. In her heart, she cursed Su Hai countless times, this damned bastard, truly deserving to be her number one archenemy, daring to settle scores with the Shen family after her death.

With such a deadly approach, she had to wonder if she had somehow wronged him more than she realized in the past.

When she died, Old Master Su was alive and well, it wasn’t a matter of a father’s murder; could it be a grievance over a wife?

Su Hai had excellent vision, observing the subtle expressions on Shen Zian’s face clearly from such a distance. Especially her eyes, slightly angered, which made him slightly curl his lips into a teasing smile, then he got in the car and left.

Shen Zian felt a chill run down her spine at his smile, a shiver in her heart.

What does this person mean? Why did he smile at her inexplicably? She remembered that in the past Su Er didn’t have the habit of mocking people everywhere!

Gong Liping looked despairing, "I thought since Director Su proactively came to eat with us today, his attitude towards the Shen family would be a bit better, but unexpectedly..." The last words were probably not suitable to be said, so they were left unsaid.

"The reason he dined with us was likely to discuss transferring you back from the border post." Don’t be fooled, Ji Yuanjie is not in the army, but he is well-informed, "It’s already very rare that he intervened to help; I had known long ago that Su Hai wouldn’t back down on Shen Yu’s matter."

He only wanted to make one more effort for his childhood friend.

Gong Liping truly didn’t expect to be transferred back from the border post. After the regiment commander sacrificed himself, he had already planned to dedicate his life to the frontier defense of the motherland. Hearing this news, he should have been happy, but thinking of the regiment commander dampened his spirits.

"Shen Yu’s trouble is indeed too severe." No one could speak words of plea.

Shen Zian was very curious about what kind of monstrous deeds Shen Yu had done to bring such doom upon the entire Shen family, and even end her own life! But now she knew she couldn’t rush things, and could only probe slowly.

"Let’s go! If we don’t leave now, it’ll be dark." Li Erhua guiltily glanced at Shen Zian’s now-empty bowl.

Shen Zian, upon realizing that all her noodles had been stolen by her, didn’t mind, putting down the chopsticks in her hand, "I’ll go to the restroom, wait for me for a moment."

After finishing his meal, Ji Yuanjie got up to pay the bill, "Boss, how much?"

"Four yuan and fifty cents in total."

Ji Yuanjie took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it over, "Keep the change, and give me two marinated eggs to go."

"Okay!" The boss took the money, packed the marinated eggs in a plastic bag, and handed them over, slapping his forehead as he remembered, "By the way, someone asked me to pass this letter to you."

Ji Yuanjie took it doubtfully, looking at the plain envelope with no writing on it, "Do you know who asked you to hand it over?"

"It was delivered by a kid from the small store next door. I asked him, but he couldn’t say clearly."

Ji Yuanjie became even more perplexed.

"What’s wrong?" Gong Liping stood up and asked.

"Someone gave me this envelope, but there’s no recipient or sender name on it."

"So mysterious? Open it and see."

Ji Yuanjie’s curiosity was piqued too. Turning it over in his mind, he couldn’t think of anyone playing such a trick on him. He directly ripped open the envelope; inside was a thin piece of paper with four bold characters written on it.

"Capable person finds peace."

This was Shen Zian’s handwriting, also the origin of her name.
