Chapter 1370 Cecilia is going to freeload again.
Shao Yun examined the Dudu communicator in his hand, pondering many things based on Ying's words...
Well, what's certain now is that Alice is still up to no good, and Ronava is lurking in the shadows, watching with predatory intent... In that case, I won't hold back.
Shao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to devise a plan to "turn the tables" and wipe out all the potential threats in one fell swoop!
But for now, let's deal with Mavica and the others who came to treat Ying. Now that Ying is better, we don't need to trouble them anymore.
Thinking of this, Shao Yun put away the Dudu communicator and prepared to go and greet Mavica and the others first.
Shao Yun carefully put away the Dudu communicator, raised his hand and gently opened the bedroom door, intending to go to the living room to greet Mavica and the others.
But the moment the door was opened, the figures who had been pressed against the door, holding their breath and eavesdropping on the sounds inside, suddenly lost their support and, like a human pyramid, crashed towards him like a tidal wave.
Cries of "Ouch!" and "Oh dear!" echoed throughout the room.
Sora, Seth Lari, Mavica, Abyss, and Ororen were all huddled together, falling and getting completely disoriented.
He landed at the bottom, and groaned as he was pressed down by the people above him.
Seth Lari leaned to one side, her hair disheveled, clutching half a piece of jerky she hadn't finished eating.
Mavica instinctively braced herself against the ground, but still bumped her forehead; Yuan Shang, who could have run away, was also dragged down to the ground by Ouloren.
Euron cushioned Yuan Shang's fall and was unharmed...
Shao Yun was startled by this sudden scene and instinctively took several steps back before finally regaining her footing.
He looked down at the large group of people sprawled haphazardly at the doorway, his face a mixture of helplessness and amusement, and blurted out a complaint:
"My goodness! What are you all doing blocking the doorway? Eavesdropping again? Who eavesdrops so openly in broad daylight? Aren't you ashamed!"
Sitella was the first to get up from the ground, rubbing her sore head and dusting herself off, a smile playing on her lips.
She only heard Shao Yun's sweet talk with Ying in the room just now, separated by the door. She was just fed a lot of dog food!
Now that she'd been caught, she smiled and looked at Shao Yun, explaining, "Hehe, we were just worried about you staying inside for so long, it wasn't eavesdropping at all!"
"We were worried that you and Ying might need help, so we're waiting here, ready to lend a hand at any time!"
Seeing her lying through her teeth without batting an eye, Shao Yun rolled her eyes helplessly but didn't pursue the matter further.
He drawled out his words, speaking in a sarcastic tone: "Well, thank you so much, thank you for bringing a group of people to 'care' about my wife and me."
Cecilia, shameless as ever, completely missed the teasing in Shao Yun's tone, chuckled, waved her hand, and said in a lighthearted tone:
"Don't mention it, it's nothing. We're so close, helping each other out is only natural!"
On the other side, Mavica also slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. She shook her head to dispel the dizziness from the fall. The first thing she did upon regaining consciousness was to raise her head and look past Shao Yun toward the direction of the bedroom.
"Shao Yun, how is Ying? Is she any better?"
She was still in Ying's condition; after all, Ying's previous crazy behavior was really worrying.
Kong also got up from the ground, dusted himself off, his face full of worry, and quickly echoed:
"Yes, brother-in-law, is my little sister alright? I was outside just now and heard no noise inside. I was so worried."
Yuan Shang slowly stood up, and although he didn't say anything, he looked up at the bedroom.
Shao Yun was prepared and presented his prepared remarks. He clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to the crowd in apology.
"Alright, alright, everyone, don't worry. Ying is fine. She just had a really vivid nightmare this morning and hasn't quite recovered yet, which is why she's so flustered."
"I'm so sorry to have taken up so much of your time and troubled you to make this special trip."
He deliberately avoided talking about Alice and Ronava, using "having nightmares" as a pretext.
This matter is too complicated to be easily told to the public, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
Upon hearing this, Mavica immediately frowned, her face full of doubt, clearly not believing the claim.
She raised her hand and pinched her chin, saying in confusion:
"What kind of nightmare could be so powerful? It can make someone act like they're possessed, crying, screaming, and talking nonsense. This is just too outrageous!"
As she spoke, she wanted to ask a few more questions. She had seen people terrified by nightmares, but she had never seen anyone go crazy like Ying did that morning after having a nightmare.
Upon seeing this, Shao Yun quickly waved his hand with a confident expression, insisting that it was indeed a problem with nightmares.
"She really did have a nightmare. It's probably because she's been under a lot of stress lately, which is why the nightmare felt so real. She just couldn't distinguish between the dream and reality for a moment. She's fine now, she'll be alright once she wakes up."
Seeing Shao Yun's unwillingness to talk and his insistence on his point, even if Mavica still had doubts, she didn't press him further.
After all, Ying is Shao Yun's wife. Since Shao Yun has said so, it is not appropriate for her, an outsider, to interfere any further.
Left with no other choice, Mavica could only nod slightly and choose to believe Shao Yun's explanation.
Seeing that Mavica had finally stopped asking questions, Shao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly seized the opportunity to get rid of the group so that he could arrange Ying's meal and also think about how to deal with Alice and Ronawa.
He cupped his hands and bowed, his attitude exceptionally "sincere".
"I really feel bad for troubling you all so much. It's so kind of you to make this trip and take up so much of your time."
Seeing Shao Yun apologizing and bowing to everyone, looking guilty towards all but doting on Ying, Cetalli crossed her arms, smirked, and said sarcastically, her jealousy evident:
"Oh my, how enviable! It's just a nightmare, and her husband goes to great lengths to find people to comfort and watch over her, afraid she'll suffer even the slightest grievance. You should spoil her, spoil her as much as you want!"
As she spoke, she deliberately rolled her eyes, looking like a "sour old yogurt."
Seeing Cecilia's jealous and deliberately nitpicking expression, Shao Yun said with a forced smile:
"Go away, stop being so sour! My wife is fine now, she doesn't need everyone to stay with her anymore. You, Cetalli, should also go home and get some more sleep. Take care, and be careful on the road, don't fall again."
He couldn't wait to get rid of this "big Buddha" so he wouldn't cause any more trouble or make fun of him.
Upon hearing this, Cecilia immediately became displeased. She took two steps forward, put her hands on her hips, and shouted defiantly, "Hey! Mr. Shao Yun, you've gone too far!"
"We traveled all the way from the Olympic Stadium just to see you two showing off your love, so you should at least treat us to a meal, right? You think you can just send us away like that? No way!"
Shao Yun's lips twitched involuntarily as he watched Cecilia stand with her hands on her hips, confidently demanding a free meal.
"You...you just can't forget about getting free meals and drinks at my house, can you?"
Cetalli made no attempt to hide her feelings, nodding vigorously without any shame, and openly spoke her mind.
"Of course! Who told you to have so much wine and food that suits your taste? If you lived near the Yanmi tribe, I would come to your house for a free meal every few days, and I would make sure there was something different every day!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously swallowed, looking like he was craving wine and food.
Looking at her pathetic state, Shao Yun glanced at Mavica, Kong, Yuan Shang, and Ouloren standing to the side.
Everyone was indeed busy with me all morning, from worrying about Ying's condition to discussing solutions, they didn't have a moment to rest.
It is indeed noon now, so it is only natural to invite everyone to have lunch.
He shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and finally gave in.
"Alright, alright, I give up. You're right, everyone's been busy all morning and is exhausted. It's almost noon, so let's stay and have lunch first, so we don't go back hungry."
When Cecilia heard Shao Yun agree, she was overjoyed. She immediately raised her hands and jumped up and down, cheering, "Yay! Mr. Shao Yun, you're so kind! Grandma is going to drink to her heart's content today, until she's drunk!"
Seeing Sita Lari so engrossed in her joy that she had completely forgotten everything, Mavica sighed and rubbed her forehead. She quickly stepped forward and patted Sita's shoulder.
"Wait a minute, Grandma Cetalli, have you forgotten why we're here?"
Sitella's cheers stopped abruptly, and she looked at Mavica with a blank expression.
Mavica added helplessly, "Didn't we come here to ask Shao Yun for help in dealing with Inev's affairs? How did we end up talking about drinking?"
"Even if you're staying for dinner, you can't drink alcohol. We haven't discussed the important matters yet!"
"Oh dear!" Reminded by Mavica, Sitrali immediately slapped her forehead, a look of sudden realization on her face. "Oh, right! How could I have forgotten that!" she said with annoyance.
But then she thought about it again, and her face fell. She muttered something to herself, looking unwilling.
"But we went through all that trouble to come here, spent the whole morning getting ready, and watched Shao Yun and his wife showing off their love, and then all we get is a simple meal? That's such a waste!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Shao Yun and began to act like a rogue.
"No, no, Mr. Shao Yun, we've helped you so much (though not in any particularly helpful way), we'd feel really bad if we didn't squeeze you out of a good drink. This is non-negotiable!"
