Since Zhang Guo made it clear that he wanted to meet Jiang Yuqin, there was no way Huo Yusen would bring her to Zhang Guo without knowing her background. Therefore, he asked his assistant to do a background check on Jiang Yuqin.

After Huo Yusen received the phone call, he gestured to Huo Wu that he was going to pick up the call. It was only when he was out of the kitchen did he ask the assistant to continue, “Go ahead.”

The assistant had prepared a summary of Jiang Yuqin’s seventeen years of life into a few sentences even before he made the call.

”Mr. Huo, there’s not much of a big problem with her background. Her parents are cleaning people, and she herself dropped out of high school before graduation to enter the entertainment industry. However, during the six months that she was in the industry, her private life was clean and she didn’t hang out with any weird people.”

Huo Yusen quickly captured the main point of this sentence. He repeated, “You said her parents were cleaning people?”

The assistant replied quickly, “Yes, Mr. Huo.”

For some reason, Huo Yusen thought about the day when Huo Wu was talking to two cleaning people.

He was silent for two seconds, then said, “Give me information on her parents too.”

The assistant hesitated, then said immediately, “Okay.” Then, the assistant thought about something for a while, and carefully said, “Mr. Huo, there’s something that I thought was really coincidental.”

It was snowing heavily outside again.

Huo Yusen observed the scene out the window, and said, “What is it?”

”Miss Huo and Jiang Yuqin were born on the same day at the same hospital. And it seemed that something unusual happened on that day.”

Huo Yusen squinted his eyes. “Unusual thing? What do you mean?”

The assistant forced himself to continue, and said, “Something happened on that day. And from what I know, there is a huge possibility that Miss Huo is not your real sister. Your actual sister is likely Jiang Yuqin.”

When Huo Yusen went back to the kitchen, it was already twenty minutes after the phone rang.

Huo Wu glanced at Huo Yusen and didn’t seem to find anything abnormal. “Big brother, are you busy today?”

“No,” Huo Yusen said as he went to pull Huo Wu’s sleeves up, and then he picked up the knife and began cutting the food again.

By the time they got to eat hotpot, half an hour had already passed.

Huo Wu supported her chin with her hands as she waited for the food to cook. Looking at the fog that rose from the pot, her heart became warmer and warmer as if it was affected by the heat as well.

A scene like this was something that she wouldn’t even dare hope for in her past life. But in this life, her wish finally came true.

Even though eating hotpot was just an ordinary activity, with Huo Yuan and Huo Yusen accompanying her, this became something special in her heart.

This was her first new year with them. And she truly hoped that it wouldn’t be the last one too.

But, she already prepared herself for the worse: her identity being revealed to the public after the new year is over. With this on her mind, she saw this dinner as her last dinner and ate as much as she wanted to.

After finishing dinner, Huo Wu patted her belly satisfyingly.

Huo Yusen looked at her and said, “There’s something next to your mouth.”

”What is it?” Huo Wu wiped her mouth with her hand but didn’t see anything on it. She blinked. “There’s nothing.”

Huo Yusen lowered his body and got closer. Huo Wu subconsciously held her breath and allowed Huo Yusen to wipe off the sauce next to her mouth.

He had a serious face as if he was doing something important.

Huo Wu felt her cheeks getting hot.
