She’s the only person who would tell on me to you…
Huo Mian said as she took out a tissue, wiped her hands, and passed Qin Chu’s phone to Mrs. Qin,
Take a look, she sent Qin Chu the same video yesterday afternoon. Qin Chu was in a meeting and didn’t have time to deal with her, so he blocked her. I guess that’s why she sent you the video as well. It’s normal, she is prone to doing things like that.
Huo Mian smiled.
Huo Mian was not at all surprised by Song Yishi’s tattle-tailing and trouble-stirring. She would be surprised, however, if one day Song Yishi stopped causing trouble.
Huo Mian knew that Song Yishi was a woman who couldn’t stand it when others lived better lives than she did. Plus, she liked to tell tall tales and was smart and good enough at hiding her true intentions, so many people have fallen victim to the mask over her face. The good thing was, Qin Chu was too smart to be deceived and never once let Song Yishi bully Huo Mian.
In addition to blocking Song Yishi, Huo Mian knew that Qin Chu didn’t believe anything she said… not even the comma she typed out.
Chu, you… blocked Shi?
Mrs. Qin was surprised.
I did.
Qin Chu nodded calmly.
Why would you do that?
Mrs. Qin thought her son went a little overboard; after all, Song Yishi was Mayor Song’s wife. He should’ve taken that into consideration before doing something so rashly.
However, Qin Chu didn’t care for that and blocked her just like that.
She’s too fake, I don’t like her,
Qin Chu answered nonchalantly.
But… she said that she’s pretty close to you and that she’s friends with Huo Mian.
Mrs. Qin was a little shocked by the completely different versions of the story.
So… just don’t believe anything she says in the future. She’s a woman who lives her life in a pool of lies,
Qin Chu warned his mother.
What about that video…
Mrs. Qin was still worried about the video, but Huo Mian smiled.
I can’t do anything if you don’t believe me. But I suggest that you go home and think carefully about everything, because lies will be exposed, sooner or later. Framing others isn’t an easy task, there’s bound to be countless loopholes.
Upon hearing what she said, Mrs. Qin stood there in a daze.
Huo Mian glanced at Qin Chu.
Honey, I need to go to work now, are you coming with?
Qin Chu nodded.
Mom, we’re going to work now, you should head home. In the future, don’t believe everything other people say, think about it before running over and interrogating us. I like my life right now, and I don’t want any more unhappiness in the family. I know you’re smart, so stop being used as a tool by someone else,
he said as he patted his mother’s shoulder.
Then, he held Huo Mian’s hand in his as the pair walked out of the manor doors.
Mrs. Qin, would you like some breakfast? I’ll go prepare some for you…
Uncle Li asked, but Mrs. Qin interrupted sternly,
No, I don’t want breakfast. Sit down, Li, I need to ask you some questions.
Sure, Mrs. Qin.
How are Chu and Huo Mian’s relationship?
Very good,
Uncle Li replied.
Do they sleep at home every night? Does Huo Mian come home on time every day?
Mrs. Qin continued to ask.
Uncle Li nodded.
Ever since Young Master sold their condo at Imperial Park, they’ve been sleeping here every night. Young Madam has an incredibly regular routine, she goes to work and comes back home on the dot, usually with the Young Master. They occasionally have friends over for dinner. They’re really good to each other, I’ve never seen them fight before.
Are you… telling the truth?
Mrs. Qin looked at Uncle Li, a little confused.
If you don’t believe me, you can always look at the surveillance cameras. Young Madam comes home around the same time every day and is always with the Young Master. Over the years, I’ve seen my fair share of couples so I can tell that their love for each other is genuine because some things just can’t be faked.
Then… what about the party…
Mrs. Qin suddenly remembered how Song Yishi went over to her house on Christmas Eve and cried to her, saying how Huo Mian bullied her.
Since she was already here, she might as well find out what happened.
She and Uncle Li talked for about 2 hours; Mrs. Qin’s expression was complicated upon leaving South Hill Manor in her car.
She didn’t understand why she treated Song Yishi like her own daughter; the latter basically played her like a fiddle!
Song Yishi had been lying to her since day one…
The good thing was, she didn’t get into an argument with Qin Chu and Huo Mian this morning, or else she would’ve wronged her daughter-in-law all over again.
At this thought, Mrs. Qin picked up her phone and dialed Huo Mian’s number.
Huo Mian had just finished her morning meeting and was heading back to her office when she saw Mrs. Qin calling her. After a few seconds of hesitation, she picked up.
