When Han Xiu heard her mother's three deadly questions, her expression was numb and bewildered.

"No, Mom, where did you hear all this from?"

Han's mother waved her hand, "Don't worry about where I heard it from, just answer yes or no."

"Yes, but she is me..."

"No, I know what you're going to say next. Are you going to say that you only see her as a younger sister, but secretly you want to steal her away?"

Han's mother sighed, "I know you've been single for a long time, and other people might tempt you, but we can't do anything to steal someone else's partner. What if they find out and break your legs?"

Han Xiu: ...

You really are my mother.

"No, I'm just friends with her, not what you're thinking."

Han's mother must have been playing cards; he could hear someone shouting "Three against one!" even through the phone.

"Wang Bang!"

"Mrs. Chen, it's your turn to play."

Han Xiu: ...

"Oh, alright, alright, I got it. I was just asking. With your brain, I don't think you could fool anyone. Your father and I are getting old, and we hope you won't make us realize our dream of having a grandson in the underworld."

After saying that, Han's mother slammed down the phone.

Han Xiu stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up, not quite understanding what the point of his mother's call was.

“I don’t know who saw us together and told my mom about it, which made her call to ask about it.”

Han Xiu pointed to the phone and explained to Lu Qingyun.

How are Auntie and Uncle's health?

A while ago, Han Xiu asked Lu Qingyun for some calming incense. During that period, Han's parents hadn't been sleeping well, but after using Lu Qingyun's incense, their sleep improved a lot.

Han Xiu smiled, "It's all thanks to Sister Yun's fragrance."

Lu Qingyun hummed in agreement. Seeing that it was getting late, she picked up her bag and stood up. "Have someone move this machine to my room in a couple of days. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Okay, I'll take you."

Han Xiu then got up.

"It's alright, Tang Qin is here."

Han Xiu didn't dwell on it. He had other things to do later and had an appointment to talk with someone at Chengyuan Mansion. Seeing that Lu Qingyun had left, he took out his phone to contact his assistant.

Lu Qingyun didn't leave immediately. She went to the restroom first, and then went to Chen Su's lounge, where she stayed for about ten minutes before coming out.

This scene was witnessed by Shan Li.

"My God, Lu Qingyun is so inconsiderate!"

"Do you think we should tell President Gu about this?"

"Shh, are the photos taken? Send them to me later, I have a plan." Shan Li withdrew her resentful gaze and whispered to the ladies beside her.

"Yes, it's already taken. I'll send it to you later."

"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a meal later."

"Lili, what you're saying makes us sound distant."

His friends smiled.

Dan Li didn't say anything else. She gripped her phone tightly in her pocket, her lowered eyes filled with an inexplicable chill.

Lu Qingyun, you're finished!

Why did you have to mess with me? I'm not some paper tiger. Don't think that you can win Ajin's heart by sweet-talking her into transferring me away.

If that's the case, then Lu Qingyun is far too naive.

Lanjin Villa.

"Master Jin, what's going on with the Ouyang family lately? Why are they having one problem after another?"

Duanmu Yi frowned as he looked at the messages on the dark web, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature, Gu Jinming caught a cold. He was wearing a thick coat and holding the cold medicine that Zhou Ming had prepared for him.

"Someone is trying to cause them trouble."

Gu Jinming's voice was a little hoarse because of a cold.

"Huh? Causing trouble for the Ouyang family? Who's got the nerve?"

The Ouyang family is practically a force to be reckoned with in the United States. Who would dare to cause them trouble?

Duanmu Yi took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and took a big gulp.

Gu Jinming tapped his fingers unconsciously on his leg, his eyes unreadable. "It might be an old acquaintance."

Old acquaintance?

How come he doesn't remember them knowing this kind of friend?

Duanmu Yi's expression grew increasingly puzzled.

Zhou Ming had just heard about this as well. After reading the content on the dark web, his brows furrowed with excitement. "I heard it's a stolen treasure? Could it be that silver needle?"

It should be noted that the Ouyang family are the pioneers in medical skills.

Needless to say, the set of silver needles was also exceptional.

Gu Jinming hummed in agreement. "There's been some unusual activity in M ​​State. Have them keep an eye on it."

Zhou Ming suppressed his excitement and nodded.

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

The silence inside the room was broken by the sound of several text messages.

After signing the last contract, Gu Jinming picked up the warm water next to him, took a sip, and then looked at his phone.

The message came from an unknown number, and it was encrypted. It contained three photos, which were quite clear.

The first image shows Lu Qingyun entering Chen Su's lounge. The girl's well-defined hand rests on the doorknob, and the dim light from the window shines on the back of her hand, creating a unique kind of beauty.

Her hands are quite pretty.

The second picture shows Lu Qingyun and Chen Su coming out together.

Chen Su's expression was not as serious as they had expected; instead, it was unusually kind, with seven parts respect and four parts affection.

The girl also had a smile on her face, with the corners of her lips curving up and her eyes and brows brimming with joy.

Why are you laughing so happily with a strange man?

The third picture shows Chen Su seeing Lu Qingyun off.

The girl seemed to have noticed the camera, her eyes turning cold as she looked away.

I'm quite vigilant.

Gu Jinming looked at the three photos and silently made his own assessment.

After checking the information, Duanmu Yi got up and went to the cabinet behind Gu Jinming to find something to eat. In the instant he looked up, he accidentally saw the contents of Gu Jinming's phone.

What I saw was exactly the second photo.

His mouth dropped open in surprise as he pointed at the photo. "He...he...isn't he that...that manager of Chengyuan Mansion? Why does he look so respectful to this girl? Is she his daughter?"

Before Gu Jinming could speak, Duanmu Yi suddenly exclaimed excitedly, as if he had discovered a new continent, "Master Jin, who is this girl? She's absolutely stunning! Can I get her contact information?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duanmu Yi clearly felt the temperature drop even further.

This is this...

Duanmu Yi glanced at Gu Jinming, wondering if he had said something wrong.

"My wife."

Those three words were like a thunderclap, leaving Duanmu Yi utterly stunned.

Depend on!

Is this my sister-in-law?!

Because he had never seen it before, he genuinely didn't know.

That's it, his career is probably over.

"I...I...Master Jin, please calm down. I really didn't know this was my sister-in-law. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have dared to say such a thing."

Duanmu Yi reached out Er Kang's hand, desperately trying to find a way to survive.

He glanced furtively at Tang Meng, then at Zhou Ming, as if to say, 'Why don't you two hurry up and put in a good word for them?'

Zhou Ming cleared his throat. "Master Jin, we're short-handed in M ​​State. I think Duanmu..."

"Zhou Ming! Thank you so much."

Duanmu Yi gritted his teeth and threw a bag of potato chips at Zhou Ming.
