"Oh…" Huo Main replied, and Yang Meirong couldn't tell if she was happy or mad so she asked, "I wanted to… ask for your opinion."

"It's your money, you get to decide what to do with it, but I'm not giving her anything."

Huo Mian didn't want to be Holy Mother Theresa – Yang Xiuping just defamed her, so why would she pay for her operation? It's not like Huo Mian's money fell out of the sky.

Upon realizing that Huo Mian might be a little unhappy, Yang Meirong added, "Your uncle said Xiuping broke her leg and she's in critical condition… she sustained a comminuted fracture in her knee and the operation's really difficult and is going to cost about 300,000 yuan, but I don't have that kind of money and I would never give her that amount. But she's a relative, so I ended up paying a 30,000-yuan deposit for her. That's all I'm going to give her."

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Mian, are you mad at Mom?"

"No."

"I think we can consider this as using virtue to repay hatred. Us helping her like that will give us good luck. Anyways, go to bed, that's all I wanted to say."

"Okay."

Huo Mian would never give Yang Xiuping a penny, but she didn't have the right to stop her mother. After all, blood was thicker than water, and her mother was a soft-hearted woman.

If her uncle called in the middle of the night, wailing and complaining, it was only normal for her mother to give Yang Xiuping a couple of thousand yuan.

Huo Mian would never get mad because of that.

- The next morning -

Huo Mian received a phone call from Yang as soon as she arrived at the company.

"Young Madam..."

"Yeah?"

"The president… he..."

Yang's hesitation gave Huo Mian jitters. "What's wrong with Qin Chu?"

"The president isn't in a good mood, he didn't even have breakfast.'

Upon hearing this, Huo Mian let out a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death, next time finish your sentence in one breath, okay."

"No, the problem is the president didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you everything. He found a new clue about the incident. Before Jiang Linyue died, she deposited something important at the bank. After finally retrieving it, the driver got into a car crash on the way back and died at the scene. The documents disappeared as well."

"What?" Huo Mian's heart sank… another car accident? Life really wasn't peaceful these days.

Then, Huo Mian realized why Qin Chu had been in T City this entire time – he was gathering new clues about Jiang Linyue and the incident.

Unfortunately, the person in charge of retrieving the documents died…

How odd; no wonder Qin Chu was in a bad mood.

"Is Qin Chu alright?"

"He's fine, just in a bad mood. He's been really quiet and won't eat."

"Okay, I got it."

After hanging up, Huo Mian opened WeChat and sent Qin Chu a red pocket.

It was a 5.20 yuan red pocket that said, 'Honey, remember to be happy!'

Qin Chu immediately replied with a smiley face and transferred 5,200 yuan to Huo Mian.

Huo Mian sent him a voice message, "Honey, you made a bad deal. I sent you 5.2 and you gave me 5,200. That means you lost 5,194.8 yuan."

"Your math is amazing, Honey…"

Huo Mian: "What did you have for breakfast?"

Qin Chu: "Porridge."

Huo Mian: "Your nose will grow if you lie."

Qin Chu: "…"

Huo Mian: "You need to eat, or else I'm not going to like you anymore."

Qin Chu: "Who are you going to like then?"

Huo Mian: "I'll go like Su Yu. He's rich, good looking and most importantly, he eats breakfast every day."

Qin Chu: "Huo Little Minx Mian, fly over here right now and I'll show you the color of my belt."

Huo Mian: "Hahaha, nope, I refuse!"

The young couple continued quibbling, and once again, Su Yu ended up being cannon fodder…

- Imperial Star Headquarters -

"Achoo! Achoo!" Su Yu sneezed twice in a row.

"President Su, the morning meeting is in 15 minutes, would you like to have breakfast first?" An asked him carefully.
