"Yes, Zhixin is right, ha." Huo Mian said vaguely.
"If it's just because I want to buy a bag worth more than 100,000 yuan, I won't bother to care about you. If your husband has money, just buy it."
"Ha, Mom, you won't scold me, will you?" Huo Mian put her arms around her mother's neck and acted coquettishly.
"No, you are no better than before. You are now the deputy dean. How can you still carry a bag worth a hundred yuan?"
"Mom, you really understand me more and more." Huo Mian kissed the side of her mother's cheek.
"Okay, okay, you two, don't cause trouble and get out quickly. I'll cook."
Every time the children have dinner at home, Yang Meimei is happiest. She is busy but also enjoys it.
After their mother came back, the siblings tacitly agreed not to talk about it.
Instead, they chatted in the living room and ate some fruit snacks or something.
before lunch
Huo Mian's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Huo Yanyan.
There is only one picture, in which Qin Chu and Zhang Manlin are drinking coffee. Although the distance is a bit far, the pixels are clear enough for people to recognize them at a glance.
"What's going on?" Huo Mian asked Huo Yanyan.
"I saw this when I was shopping. I thought it was you from a distance. But then I felt that the style of clothing was wrong. You couldn't be wearing a short skirt and sneakers. Then when I took a closer look, I realized that it was a student who looked very similar to you. Sister, it’s just Mr. Qin who drinks coffee with her, you know?”
It turned out that Huo Yanyan was the one who tipped off the news.
Ever since Huo Mian met Huo Siqian in private last time in order to save her daughter, there had been no contact between the two, and their relationship had become a bit delicate.
Now that Huo Yanyan took the initiative to see this and told Huo Mian, she didn't know what her psychology was.
"Yeah, I know."
"Who is that woman? A relative of yours?" Huo Yanyan asked.
"no."
"That's strange. I look like you, especially you from many years ago..." Huo Yanyan did not forget to add a sigh.
"Really? I think it's okay." Huo Mian smiled perfunctorily.
"Oh, then go ahead and get busy. I'll tell you so that you won't be kept in the dark about something."
"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention."
There was already a sense of politeness and alienation between her and Huo Yanyan. Huo Yanyan knew that Huo Mian already had problems with her.
Qin Chu and Zhang Manli had not made a prior appointment to have coffee.
Instead, Qin Chu came out to talk about something. The client's flight was delayed and he still bought it. He was waiting in the coffee shop.
Zhang Manlin also happened to show up. It was a chance encounter, so she left after saying a few words and didn't stay long.
But Huo Yanyan happened to see this scene, so she told Huo Mian directly.
Besides Huo Yanyan, Su Yu was also the one who saw this scene.
He and Xiao An also happened to see this scene when they were driving by.
But Su Yu didn't tell Huo Mian directly, firstly because he felt that doing so seemed to instigate the relationship between husband and wife, which was too ungentlemanly.
Secondly, Su Yu felt that, having known Qin Chu for so long, she didn't think that he was a changeable person who would fall in love with someone else. Drinking coffee didn't mean anything.
"Mr. Su, the light is green, can we go?" Xiao An reminded him when his boss was distracted.
Su Yu didn't say anything and drove directly over...
"Xiao An, let me ask you a question."
"good."
"You said, if two people who are not related by blood look very similar, and even have similar personalities, is there really such a coincidence in the world?" Su Yu lowered his head and thought carefully about all the things about Zhang Manlin and Huo Mian. They are all too similar.
"It's hard to say. I think there's something fishy in it. What's wrong, Mr. Su, did you find anything wrong?"
