Chapter 30

With a bang, something exploded next to my ear, and a sharp, piercing sound rang in my head.

"Anya? Anya, what's wrong? Are you alright? Can you hear me?" Lu Yanshi asked anxiously.

Shen Anya looked at him, but even though he was speaking, she couldn't hear a sound.

Is something wrong? Shen Anya shook her head vigorously, finally managing to hear what Lu Yanshi was saying.

She panicked instantly, shaking her head frantically, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls. "No, I can't let him find out about my biological parents! Lu Yanshi, please help me, I absolutely can't let him find out about my biological parents!"

Lu Yanshi supported her, "It's alright, Anya. Listen to me, let them investigate if they want. Maybe your biological parents are looking for you too. They can give you a better life. Even if it's worse than now, it doesn't matter. You still have me. I told you I'd always be there for you."

"No!" Shen Anya suddenly shouted, "You don't understand, it's different! We absolutely, absolutely cannot let him find out!" She stood up unsteadily, "No, we can't let him find out! I'll go beg my older brother, I'll go..."

Before he could finish speaking, everything went black, and he fainted.

"Anya!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Zhao Yuan, Shen Luoluo, and their group have arrived at their destination. A huge stone gate with ethnic characteristics hangs on the wall with a plaque that Songhu Wellness Resort.

"This is the place you were talking about for fun?" Shen Jiayan was bewildered. What was so fun about this place?

Zhao Yuan snorted, "You little brats don't understand, do you? This is a leisure resort in Jing City. You should enjoy your vacation and relax properly, Hot Spring Bathing, take a sauna, oh, there's even a health spa inside."

"Go in and come out, and your skin will be white and smooth."

[It's fake, I just applied some BB cream to your face.]

Zhao Yuan:?

"There are also massage parlors; a visit there leaves you feeling completely refreshed and relaxed, and with their health-promoting tea, you can sleep soundly through the night."

[It's fake too; the health tea they gave you was laced with sleeping pills.]

Zhao Yuan:??

"And there's also super delicious hot pot, I want to eat it again and again."

[It's all fake! Hot pot broth with poppy shells added, how could it not be addictive?]

Zhao Yuan:???

"There's a clinic inside that treats infertility." Surely this can't be fake?

[Hiss--]

Zhao Yuan's hand trembled. What did that "hiss" mean?

Chapter 30

My husband and daughter had my grandson.

The sky was misty at that moment, and a light drizzle had started to fall.

Looking at the Villa gate that was so close at hand, Zhao Yuan unconsciously swallowed. Should she really go into a place like this?

If she were alone, she would definitely rush in. This is a huge scoop, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If this news were to break out, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

It will also allow more people to see clearly what kind of place this really is.

But now, not only is she in the car, but her family is too, and she doesn't dare take them on a risk.

Before she could make a decision, the car behind caught up. Shen Xiche rolled down his window, his excitement visibly evident. "Auntie, you're too slow, we'll go in first."

They vanished in a flash, giving her no time to react.

Shen Luoluo was also puzzled. "[What's wrong with Auntie? Although many things inside are unsuitable, the hot spring is still nice; soaking in it must be very comfortable. Just try to avoid the other things.]"

Zhao Huizhen also spoke up, "If we don't keep up, we'll get lost."

Zhao Yuan came to her senses. That made sense. As long as she avoided the bad things, it would be fine. She could treat this trip as a chance to relax and enjoy herself. Next time, she would come back to secretly investigate what was going on!

The car made two turns before stopping in front of the Villa hotel.

"Auntie, why has your driving skill suddenly dropped? You're driving so slowly." Shen Xiche was still as flamboyant as ever. When he saw a beautiful woman walk by, he deliberately took off his sunglasses and raised an eyebrow at her.

The sight made a passing girl blush and her heart race; she was too shy to look at them and quickly ran into the hotel.

Compared to him, the others were much more obedient, carrying their luggage and standing quietly at the door waiting for her. When they got off the car, they very gentlemanly helped them with their luggage.

Songhu Resort Hotel is built against the mountain and by the water. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious lobby that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see. The ceiling is adorned with dazzling crystal chandeliers, and wisps of mist rise from the marble tiles on the floor. The surroundings are decorated in a simple and elegant style.

Upon entering the hall, one might mistake it for a paradise on earth.

After checking into the hotel, the group headed towards the elevator in a large procession.

Apart from Sui You, who was dressed as a boy, the boys were basically paired up and shared a room. Zhao Yuan had her own room, while Zhao Huizhen and Shen Luoluo shared a room right next to Zhao Yuan's.

With the rooms assigned, the next step was to fill our stomachs.

"Hot pot, of course! It's the best thing to eat here, what else would we eat?" Shen Xiche wasn't in the same car as Zhao Yuan and the others, and his first words were a bombshell.

While Shen Luoluo was still thinking about how to persuade everyone not to eat hot pot, Zhao Yuan spoke first, "I've been feeling a bit feverish lately, so I don't want to eat hot pot. Let's eat something else."

Zhao Huizhen immediately chimed in, "That's right, I don't want hot pot either. How about steak or a seafood buffet? The steak and seafood buffet here are pretty good."

Shen Jiayan nodded. "Agreed."

"?" Shen Xiche didn't understand. "It would be such a waste to come here and not eat the most unique dishes. If you don't eat them, we'll go and eat them ourselves. You're worried about getting a sore throat, but we young people aren't."

"You..." Just as Zhao Huizhen was about to speak, seeing that the group was about to leave, Shen Luoluo's voice rang out—

[Eat up, eat up! Just eat! Poppy shell hotpot base, one bite and you'll get a sure thing.]

Shen Xiche slipped.

"Hey! Xi Che, are you alright?" Luckily, his teammate caught him quickly, otherwise he would have fallen flat on his backside.
