Chapter 1564: 1563 three people
Mia was baffled by Ina’s words, why suddenly call her a good person? Had she done something charitable? Never mind that, with her free time, she should think about how to get home tomorrow morning instead. If her father discovered she was injured, he would definitely scold her to death.
The next morning, Tan Rou woke up amidst a flurry of hurried noises. By the time she woke, Ina was already gone, and Mia was still asleep.
Checking the time, it wasn’t even 5:30 AM yet, so she decided to wait a while before waking Mia up.
The voices of a few people talking could be heard from outside, one of which she had heard the previous night, a little girl’s voice.
Right, she had definitely heard a little girl’s voice last night, but she hadn’t seen a little girl when she entered.
Moreover, at that time, Ina also spoke a passphrase: when asked “Are you looking for dad or mom,” Ina replied she was looking for mom.
Upon entering, Tan Rou had only seen Mrs. Hai Wei alone, and although there were many paintings in the house, none depicted Mrs. Hai Wei’s family.
The sound of a spoon falling to the ground came from outside, immediately followed by the little girl saying, “Mom is really clumsy, can’t even hold a spoon properly.”
Then came Mrs. Hai Wei’s voice, “Dear Nini, with the time you spend talking there, you could have come and helped mom pick up the spoon.”
The little girl replied, “Dad already tied my dinner napkin for me, I don’t want to leave my seat.”
Mrs. Hai Wei complained, “Dear, why did you tie the napkin for her again? She should learn to tie it herself.”
A man laughed and said, “Dear, Nini is still a child. She can’t tie the napkin herself. If you want her to get her clothes dirty, then let her do it herself.”
Mrs. Hai Wei said, “Alright, but you must learn to tie it yourself in the next few years.”
The little girl replied, “Okay, mom.”
Afterward, the sounds of a family starting breakfast followed. The little girl didn’t want to eat fried eggs, but dad said fried eggs were nutritious. The little girl wanted ice cream, but mom said ice cream shouldn’t be eaten in the morning.
Listening to the voices outside, Tan Rou’s curiosity grew stronger. She wanted to see Mrs. Hai Wei’s family, but she was afraid of disturbing them during breakfast.
After much thought, she decided to go out and greet them because their breakfast seemed like it would take a long time, and time was running short. She needed to hurry up and meet with Zhuang Liu as the locator showed he was nearby and probably preparing to meet up with her.
“Good morning, Mrs. Hai Wei, and … and …” Tan Rou walked out with a smile, but her smile froze when she reached the dining area because there weren’t three people eating, but only one person and two incredibly lifelike standees.
Upon seeing her, Mrs. Hai Wei’s expression flickered unnaturally for a moment before she regained her composure, “Oh, you haven’t left yet.”
Tan Rou, not knowing whether to stay or go, stood about seven or eight meters away from Mrs. Hai Wei, dazed, “Yes, I’m so sorry. The situation last night was so urgent that we had to use your operating room. Whatever the cost, we will pay you immediately.”
Mrs. Hai Wei very calmly said, “It was that mischievous Ina who brought you in, right? She does quite like you.”
Tan Rou replied, “We got along quite well with her.”
“Haven’t you had breakfast?” Mrs. Hai Wei invited, “Why don’t you stay and have breakfast? My husband and daughter would be happy to have you.”
Tan Rou looked at the two standees, feeling that those two weren’t really speaking, “I better not disturb you, you all seem to be having a good time. If I, a stranger, were there, they would definitely mind.”
“They wouldn’t mind at all,” Mrs. Hai Wei said with a smile, “Because they’re all dead. How could dead people have any objections?”
“I…” for the first time, Tan Rou felt speechless, “I… I’m not really hungry, just you eat.”
“You’re not afraid I poisoned the breakfast, are you?” Mrs. Hai Wei said, “Even if there were poison, it wouldn’t matter. I’m a doctor, I could revive you.”
