Chapter 589 That Makes Me Nervous


    The family sat at the table for dinner. Jessica was living in the family area of Northwestern University


    with Jason. She wouldn''te back until the Spring Festival.


    Chester was studying in B City and Dora was living in the university. Dora didn''t know that Nina and


    John were having dinner at Stone Road, so she didn''te home for dinner.


    Everyone wanted to y with and talk to Van because of how obedient and handsome the little boy


    was. They wanted to see how much knowledge he could show off from his small encyclopedia-like


    mind.


    Don, on the other hand, had the sweetest nature. He made everyone so happy with his talkative


    behavior even though he was a little naughty. Even Sam, who tried to stay dignified with the children


    around, constantlyughed happily.


    The dining room was full ofughter.


    After dinner, Sam, sitting in a wheelchair, was going out for a walk with his two grandchildren. He


    watched as the two brothers chased after each other.


    The bright light of the road shone on his wrinkled face, twinkling in his peaceful and serene eyes.


    The little boys called him from time to time and every time, without fail, he''d answer. He was in high


    spirits so there was no chance of him feeling tired at all.


    The warm streetlight shone on the wall of the single vi where John lived. Through the window, one


    could see four people sitting in the living room.


    Nina and Emma were sitting on the sofa and chatting about the old days. They shared stories about


    their highlights from recent years. They satughing and entertaining each other as they spoke.


    John and James didn''t sit by their wives and instead sat at the table by the window. As long as they


    heard their wives''ughter, that was all they concentrated on.


    James didn''t dare to look at Nina; he was afraid John would beat him out of jealousy.


    In the past, the most frightening thing was that John would reduce his living expenses. Now that James


    was on his own two feet and supporting himself, his uncle''s new trigger was if anyone upset Nina.


    His punches had be so potent that James literally feared for his life.


    "Uncle John, I have something to tell you, but you have to promise not to hit me." James pushed the


    chair back silently and kept a distance from this brute of a man.


    Taking a look at his retreating movements, John barked, "Just tell me."


    "Van and Don went to thepany to look for me today. Linda scalded them by ident in the


    elevator. It''s all my fault. But don''t worry, my wife and I had punished her. We''ve got her banned from


    the entertainment industry," James said, assuming responsibility.


    Although these kids were taking Nina away from John, they were still his. As a father, he was naturally


    worried about his children.


    The first thing that came to John''s mind was, "What did the doctor say?"


    "It''s not serious. No scars will be left behind."


    John heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Wait a minute. Look at the news on my phone. It''s probably still the top search." When James


    unlocked his phone and opened Weibo app, he was shocked to see the top headline. "Shit! I can''t


    believe it. She took drugs? Was she crazy?"


    He put his phone on the table and turned to John. Thetest story was now about Linda''s drug abuse.


    When John saw the two words "drug abuse," his eyes deepened.


    "How dare she do this?" James leaned back and shook his head. "It''s likely that with what we did today,


    people who Linda has wronged in the past havee out to seek revenge."


    John raised his hand and pointed at Linda on the screen. "She''s not an artist of yourpany. Why did


    shee to see you today?"


    "She rmended her. Do you remember her?" James sat up straight again. "She asked Linda to


    introduce her to my wife. Emma is going to shoot a new y soon."


    John just nodded slightly.


    While James spoke, John received a phone call from Adrian.


    He took a few steps away from the table and answered.


    "Hey, Mr. Shi, are you avable now? I have something to tell you," Adrian said yfully.

    "Yes," John answered. "What is it?"


    "It''s very important. It is to do with Vivian." Adrian''s tone became more serious. "The night before


    yesterday, I went to a bar, and then I saw... Wait, Mr. Shi. Don''t let Henry know about this, okay? I didn''t


    tell him..."


    "Let''s get down to business," John abruptly interrupted.


    "Okay, so we''re on the same page, Mr. Shi." Adrian started exining again. "When I passed one of


    the rooms, I happened to see Vivian handing something to a woman. I guess it was some drug. I was


    outnumbered though, so I didn''t confront them about it."


    He was actually just too timid to enter in reality.


    Vivian was more beautiful now, but there was nothing except venom in her eyes. In the past, she only


    hurt the people who stood in her way, but now she seemed to be caught up in illegal business. She had


    no conscience about these things anymore.


    Fortunately, he pretended to be drunk and stumbled out of the bar before letting out a sigh of relief.


    What really surprised him was not Vivian, but the woman she was with.


    "Mr. Shi, do you know who the other woman was?" Adrian asked mysteriously.


    John asked, "Who?"


    Adrian was still in shock. It took him two days to recover after he realized who she was. He lowered his


    voice and said, "She Xu. A good friend of your nephew! She, Haley and a few others are James''


    best friends. Ask James if he''s involved. This has been eating away at me for the past few days."


    John turned his head and red at his nephew. James looked out of the window at the night sky while


    his mind was at a mess.


    "Are you sure? Did you see everything clearly?"


    "Very clearly. I went to the bar to look for someone so I wasn''t even drunk. I saw everything and I was


    so worried that I was hallucinating that I waited outside the bar to make sure. I definitely saw her


    walking to her car with a box in her hand as well," Adrian promised.


    "Got it." John already knew what to do. After hanging up the phone, he sat back in his seat.


    James asked, "Why do you look so pale? What did Adrian say?"


    "James..."


    "Wait a minute, Uncle John. Whenever you call me, I panic. I feel like something big is about to


    happen." James sat upright as his smile vanished from his face.


    John stared at him for a few seconds.


    This only made James feel worse. His heart thumped in his chest. "Uncle John, did I do something


    wrong or perhaps illegal? Why are you looking at me like that?


    I assure you, I haven''t. I''ve always been aw-abiding citizen. My wife is keeping an eye on me. She


    would never let me do any of that."


    "It''s not about you." John looked away. "What rtionship do She and Linda have?"
