Chapter 68 People Can't Come Back From the Dead
Half an hour later, Queenie, who changed into civilian clothes, sits across from Hannah.
"Did you make that mung bean soup?"
"Yes."
"Impossible." Queenie says with conviction, staring at Hannah with a burning gaze, as if she wants to
see traces of lies on her face, "It can't be that you made it."
"Why couldn't it be?" Hannah pretends to be puzzled, "That's the mung bean I soak, I cook. I even
weighed how much icing sugar should be added. I put it in the fridge to chill overnight, only this
morning did you take it out and put it in the thermos. By the way, you have to remember to return the
thermos to me."
Queenie says tensely, "If you made it, then what do you think is in that mung bean soup?"
"What's so hard about that?" Hannah smiles slightly, "In addition to mung beans, it also has lilies, lotus
seeds, pears, coconut milk..."
"No, there's one thing missing, and mung bean soup can't taste like this without something like this."
"Are you talking about green tea?"
Hannah looks relaxed, "After adding green tea, which neutralizes the sweetness of the rock sugar
inside the green bean soup, the taste is different."
"How do you know?" Queenie pursues, "Who told you about this practice?"
Hannah is stunned and hesitates for a moment, "You purposely stops me to ask me how to make mung
bean soup? It's no secret that it's such a small thing, we can talk over the phone. A friend of mine
taught me that."
"A friend of yours? What's her name?"
Queenie asks, even though she knows it is abrupt, but it concerns Sherry, she couldn't care less about
anything else, and when she hears that familiar name from Hannah's mouth, she is even more excited.
"I know she did it, where is she now?"
Hearing this, Hannah reveals a hesitant look, "A few months ago, I saw the news that her parents were
buried in the sea of fire, Sherry also fell into the sea and dis because of a car accident, this mung bean
soup is what she taught me before all that happened, and I haven't seen her for a long time."
The word 'killed' strikes in Queenie's eardrums, her eyes that had found hope so easily suddenly dims.
Feeling lost, she murmurs.
"It is before, huh?"
Hannah notices her sadness, and she feels so bad for her that she wants to tell her everything right
now, all the causes and consequences.
But she couldn't, Queenie's is impulsive, once she told her the truth of the matter, she is afraid that she
wouldn't be able to hold the secret back. It would be a huge loss if she were to startle the snake.
"Madam, your strawberry smoothie."
The waiter comes over to bring up the other drink she ordered earlier.
"People can't come back from the dead, Sherry is such a cheerful person, if she knew her death made Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
her best friend so sad, she wouldn't feel at ease in heaven." Hannah pushes the strawberry smoothie in
front of her, "Eat something sweet, you'll feel better."
When she saw the strawberry smoothie, Queenie looks stunned again.
"You and Sherry really know each other? I haven't even heard her speak of you."
"I did hear her talk about you," said Hannah, with easy grace.
"She told me that her best friend is a great actress, and I only found out that the friend she is talking
about is you when I saw you catching up to ask about the mung bean soup today."
She made up a lie about her acquaintance with Sherry. Hannah is originally a trainee at the hospital
when she is studying, and there were so many people coming and going from London Hospital. Sherry
had been there for a trip or two because of a minor problem, and it wasn't strange that she got to know
a trainee doctor by chance.
She knows that Queenie didn't have much of brain, and as long as she didn't makeup anything too
outrageous, with mung bean soup and some supporting evidence of Sherry's preferences and habits,
she would believe herself anyway.
"You used to be a doctor, how come you've switched careers to a designer now?"
"That's a long story," Hannah barely smiles, "I was already interning at the hospital, but my fiancé ends
up falling in love with my half-sister, and I couldn't think of anything else to do at the time, and I broke
down and gave up the opportunity to go abroad for further studies, and then I was arranged by my
family to get married, and something goes wrong..."
Other than the matter of knowing Sherry, what Hannah said were all true experiences.
It could have been unnecessary to go into such detail, but she knows Queenie's temper and that she
hates bullying. When she heard that Lisa had stolen her childhood sweetheart's fiancee, she was so
angry that she turned blue in the face.
"Is there such a thing as a scum slut in the world? I've sort of opened my eyes, I had thought the bitch
that Sherry met is bitchy enough, but that's at least an outsider. Your sister who grew up under the
same roof as you, calling you one sister at a time, ended up sleeping with her prospective brother-in-
law. What a bitch is that! You just let them go?"
"What's the point? I was just letting go at that time as all my thoughts are lost, I'm not going back to my
mother's house now anyway, so let's pretend I had nothing to do with them."
"I raise my hands in favour of what you're doing, a complete disregard for your family," says Queenie,
as if she remembered something.
"By the way, didn't your stepmother arrange for you to marry someone else? Did you get married? Did
you run away from your marriage? So, you have changed your name and become a designer?"
“What is she thinking?” Hannah thinks, “Forget being an actress, she should go as a screenwriter.”
"No, at that time there was no longer anything to count on, I felt that just anyone is good to marry, and
his looks and family background were both really good,"
"To get married is a good way of getting out of your family." Queenie expresses her understanding.
"Yes, not to mention it was the Shahbazs in London, so maybe I could live differently."
Queenie looks shocks and looks complicated as she looks at her.
"You're the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shahbazs?"
"Shhh... "Hannah raises her right finger in a silencing motion and winks, "I work at the Shahbazs
Jewelry, but no one knows about this, so you help me keep it a secret ah. "
Queenie is even more startled.
"Isn't it good to be a young lady? Why are you still hiding your identity to come out to work?"
"Relying on others is not very secure, and you still have to rely on your true talent ah."
Hannah most of all know her personality, and she could not be clearer about what to say that would
make her build up goodwill with herself the fastest. Especially when it comes the matter of self-reliance
and self-improvement, Queenie has the feeling of meeting her soul mate.
"Fortunately, my husband is pretty good to me, and he supports me coming out to work on my own."
Selling misery can't be too much, Hannah smoothly found a handful of mends on Chester. After all,
who in their right mind can believe that you have such a series of miserable encounters, there has to
be something good, right?
The two of them chat into the evening, and finally, Queenie even offers to take a look at her design
work.
Hannah immediately takes some samples out of her bag and places them on the table.
"These are samples of this batch's autumn/winter collection, I thought there is a misunderstanding
before, I wanted to talk to you about the customization, but it got messed up."
