Chapter 1514: Chapter 1514: Is It Really Just a Coincidence?

"Gone already? That doesn’t feel like Grandpa’s usual style, does it?" Normally, Grandpa would chat with Jian Dan for a long time.

"Grandpa’s been really happy lately, so energetic every day. He’s probably gone to the kitchen to help out. Ever since we had kids, all the food we eat has to pass Grandpa’s approval personally."

"Really? No wonder.

I totally understand Grandpa’s feelings, though. When I was born, Grandpa was just as excited. After all, having four generations under one roof isn’t an easy thing."

At lunchtime, even before anyone picked up their chopsticks, Grandpa raised his wine glass and stood up, reaching toward Jian Dan. "Little Jian, I propose a toast to you."

"Grandpa, what are you doing? That’s not right. If anyone should be proposing a toast, it should be me to you!" Jian Dan hurriedly stood up and raised her glass in return.

"No, Little Jian, today this glass of wine is for you. I want to thank you."

"Huh?"

"If not for you, with just my two useless boys, I honestly don’t know when I’d get to hold a great-grandchild."

"Grandpa, don’t say that. It was just fate for them. I only gave them a little push."

"It was thanks to that little push of yours that I finally got to hold a great-grandchild. Now I feel like I could close my eyes in peace."

"Grandpa, what are you saying? You mustn’t say things like that."

"Exactly, Grandpa! What are you saying?"

"Grandpa, look at this—you’ve upset everyone. Here’s your punishment: from now on, you’re not allowed to say anything like that."

"Alright! Grandpa won’t say it anymore.

Come on, everyone, eat. If the food gets cold, it won’t taste good."

"Alright!"

After lunch, Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao left, so as not to disturb Xi Rui and Yuanyuan’s nap.

"Jian, where are you heading? If you’re not busy, let’s go shopping! It’s been such a long time since we shopped together."

"It really has been a long time. Let’s invite Rou to join us!"

"Rou? Doesn’t she have work?"

"Did you forget who I am? If I tell her to rest, she rests." Jian Dan said, lifting her chin.

"Ah, rich people can do anything they please!" Xia Mengjiao gave Jian Dan a thumbs-up.

"Alright then, let’s go! We’re not far from New E Media right now." Jian Dan drove straight to New E Media.

"Wait, what’s going on here?" As they passed the restaurant where they ate last time, they saw it burnt and blackened, completely unrecognizable.

"Jian, you don’t know? The night we ate here, there was a fire. The investigation said it was caused by a short circuit in the restaurant’s wiring.

But I feel like it’s not that simple."

"What do you mean?"

"The fire might be a coincidence, but what’s even stranger is that everyone inside the restaurant died in that fire—every single person, without exception."

"What?"

"Now you think it’s not simple either, don’t you? Do you think it could be Mr. Chu..."

"Impossible. Uncle would never do something like that! And besides, I didn’t tell him anything about this."

"Mr. Chu doesn’t know? Then that’s strange. Maybe it really is just a coincidence? Though it’s hard to believe, there are things in this world that are hard to explain, don’t you think?"

Jian Dan stared at the ruined, scorched restaurant—could it really just be a coincidence?
