An Xin was truly frightened that day. She had nightmares every night, but Tan Xi Yuan took her to see a psychologist, which helped her feel somewhat better.
She didn't dare to go back to her original place of residence, so during this period, she stayed with Tan Xi Yuan.
Li Man and Chen XiaoHui were about to be discharged from the hospital, so Tan Xi Yuan discussed with them and decided to find another place for them to rent.
Li Man felt guilty. She had turned Tan Xi Yuan's house into a haunted house, and it was unfit for living or selling.
Even if they wanted to sell it, they would have to sell it for a lower price than the market value. Li Man knew that there were people who specifically bought haunted houses, but the price was very low.
"I'm really sorry, Xi Yuan. If it weren't for me, your house wouldn't have..."
"Don't say that," Tan Xi Yuan quickly interrupted Li Man and said, "In that situation, your priority was to save your lives. If you hadn't killed him, he wouldn't have spared you. You did the right thing, and I don't blame you. That house was my pre-marital property. After I divorce, I'll sell it and take the loss. As long as you two are safe, that's all that matters."
Li Man really wanted to buy that house from Tan Xi Yuan. She wasn't afraid, but she didn't have the money right now...
Tan Xi Yuan helped them find another two-bedroom apartment. Originally, Tan Xi Yuan wanted to find a three-bedroom apartment for them, but Chen XiaoHui said the price was too high for them to afford, so she asked him to find a two-bedroom apartment instead.
After renting the apartment, Tan Xi Yuan arranged for a moving company to move their belongings and hired a domestic service company to clean the place.
When Li Man and Chen XiaoHui were discharged from the hospital, they could move into a clean and tidy house.
On the day Li Man and Chen XiaoHui were discharged, Tan Xi Yuan and Gu Ya both came. When they were about to enter the house, Tan Xi Yuan placed a small incense burner at the door. "Quickly step over it to ward off bad luck. From now on, may everything go smoothly, safely, and happily."
Li Man and Chen XiaoHui followed his instructions and stepped over it.
After entering the house, Tan Xi Yuan brought out a basin of water with pomelo leaves. "Quickly wash your hands and face to ward off bad luck."
Li Man smiled, "Xi Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so superstitious."
Although Li Man said she was superstitious, she obediently washed her hands and face.
Chen XiaoHui also followed suit.
"What do you know? This isn't superstition; it's based on scientific evidence. Pomelo leaves have medicinal value, and they have always been used for blessings, good fortune, warding off evil spirits, and avoiding impurities."
As he spoke, Tan Xi Yuan picked up a pomelo leaf and swept it over Li Man and Chen XiaoHui.
Gu Ya laughed heartily on the side and said, "Alright, come and take a look. I bought some premium beef, including marbled beef, snowflake beef, beef meatballs, beef brain, beef tendon, beef kidney, beef tripe, and beef steak. It's a huge pile of them, all the things you love to eat."
As soon as Li Man heard the word "eat," her mouth watered. She had been eating plain soup for over a month in the hospital.
Gu Ya bought a lot of beef, including premium marbled beef, snowflake beef, beef meatballs, beef brain, beef tendon, beef kidney, beef tripe, and beef steak. It was a big pile, exactly what Li Man and Chen XiaoHui loved to eat.
"Xiao Ya, you know me the best. I love you so much," Li Man blew a kiss to Gu Ya.
Gu Ya looked disgusted and said, "I don't want your love. I only want a man's love!"
"Hahaha..."
Chen Xiaohui and Tan Xi Yuan laughed heartily, their laughter echoing through the room.
Li Man rolled up her sleeves and got to work. Everyone in the room, except for the heavily pregnant Gu Ya, pitched in to help. Even An Xin joined in to pick vegetables.
With many hands, the task was quickly completed.
"Here, let's toast with fruit juice instead of wine, wishing the two of you a smooth journey ahead. May you both be blessed with happiness and live a peaceful life, far away from toxic men!" Tan Xi Yuan raised his glass and said.
