Zhu Lingling laughed so hard that she had tears in her eyes.

“Gao Boyuan, are you still our son or not? Do you want a beating?”

They enjoyed the hot pot cheerfully.

Undoubtedly, Gao Ran would always stand by his wife and son. Now that his daughter-in-law joined their camp, the high-level homewrecker was no match for them no matter how scheming she was.

Huo Mian and Qin Chu didn’t enter the fray because they trusted Lingling could handle it.

In South Hill Manor, Huo Mian knocked on the door of the study and entered with a cup of hot coffee.

Qin Chu was busy working in the study room.

“Honey, have some coffee.”

“I told you not to do this.”

“I’m fine. It’s not like I’ll go into labor at any moment. I’m not that fragile.”

Huo Mian placed the coffee on his desk and sat down on the chair beside him.

“Little Bean won’t come home tonight?” Qin Chu asked.

“No. Your daughter is a traitor. She’s only a little over three and can’t wait to live in her future husband’s home.”

Qin Chu: “…”

“Pudding is home?”

“Yeah. Xiaowei and her family often go back to the old house for supper.”

“Good. At least I have one daughter home.” Qin Chu sounded resigned.

“It’s okay. That’s what we get for having daughters. When they are grown up, they’ll move to their husbands’ homes… How sad…” Huo Mian threw her arms around Qin Chu’s neck and lamented.

“As I said, we’re the richest family, so we can get our sons-in-law to marry into our family.”

“You must ask your son first.” Huo Mian pointed at her belly.

“We have enough money for them to share… The three of them will have more money than they can spend in their lives.”

In the past years, Qin Chu had made lots of money in business; including the income from his second uncle’s business in the States, GK was almost as rich as a small country. Despite his young age, Qin Chu had been on the list of national magnates for years.

“Honey, I found out something but haven’t told Lingling yet.”

“What is it?”

“Do you remember the girl named Chen who did a deed of merit and used this excuse to get Gao Ran to have a meal with her?”

“Yeah.” Qin Chu nodded.

“Do you know how she achieved the merit?”

“I heard she saved someone and got wounded for it.”

“Do you know what I found out?” Huo Mian asked mysteriously.

“Do you mean…she directed the whole thing to get the merit and win the chance to get close to Old Gao?”

Qin Chu thought quickly and came up with the answer quickly.

“Wow… You’re indeed my man and got the answer so quickly. I just suspected a woman like her wouldn’t be so kind as to help others in distress. So I had someone investigate it and the result is quite unexpected… That kidnapper is Chen Yuning’s childhood friend; he later joined a gang and is a good-for-nothing. A while ago, his father was hospitalized and needed to get a kidney transplant; his family spent lots of money on it… Coincidentally, one week before Chen Yuning’s heroic deed, the guy got 50,000 yuan in his bank account.”

“50,000 yuan?” Qin Chu frowned when he heard this number.

“It’s not big for you, but quite big for Chen Yuning. She might have saved it for years… But she’s smart and didn’t transfer the money directly to the suspect… After all, she graduated from the Public Security University and has the sense to protect herself. I found she took 50,000-yuan cash out from a bank one week ago and lost it all on a slot machine in an arcade hall near her home.”

Qin Chu immediately guessed the rest and said, “Does the arcade hall belong to the gangster?”
