Chapter 4194: Huo Mian Ruins Her Own Reputation (4)

Everyone knew Qin Ning was just joking, but Huo Mian took it seriously and sent a PM to Qin Ning, “Your brother doesn’t care whom I eat with so long as the person isn’t him.”

It took a long while for Qin Ning to understand this sentence.

She was waiting for her flight back to China with Tang Chuan at the airport after celebrating her dad’s birthday.

“Tang Xiaochuan, come here.” She crooked her finger at Tang Chuan.

With two Starbucks in his hands, Tang Chuan trotted over to her as if her summon was an imperial edict.

“What’s up, Your Majesty?”

“Read this.”

Qin Ning pointed at her cellphone.

“Oh, I see.”

“What do you think?”

“I think… our sister-in-law is having a fight with your brother.”

Even Tang Chuan, who had a low EQ, could see it.

“Don’t you think my sister-in-law has been weird with my brother since she returned…?”

“I haven’t seen her much since you said we should let her get some good rest… But Mr. Su is low in spirits due to his guilt.”

“That’s weird… I’ll talk to her when I get back and see what’s happening.”

Qin Ning didn’t reply to Huo Mian but was concerned about this issue.

While Huo Mian had lunch with Su Yu, her cell phone beeped.

It signaled incoming messages from the three-people chat group for her, Jiang Xiaowei and Zhu Lingling.

Jiang Xiaowei: “My Mian, do you have time to have supper with us tonight?”

Zhu Lingling: “Yeah. The three of us haven’t been together for a long while. Mian, are you better now? Can you eat seafood?”

Glancing at the messages coolly, Huo Mian replied, “I’m busy tonight. I can’t go.”

Jiang Xiaowei: “Okay. Then another day.”

Zhu Lingling: “Fine. You guys tell me when you fix the date.”

Huo Mian didn’t reply…

Jiang Xiaowei had the vague feeling that Huo Mian was distancing herself from her and Zhu Lingling. She wondered if it was because Huo Mian was still adjusting emotionally or something.

– Qin Chu’s office –

Zhixin walked in anxiously.

“Brother-in-law…”

“What’s up?”

“My mom passed out in the hospital.” Zhixin panted heavily; it was obvious that he ran all the way to here.

“How did it happen?”

“I don’t know. The hospital called me; I’ll go and check up on her.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Qin Chu put down his work. Lately, things happened one after another; with Bella in a coma and Jing De disappearing, Yang Meirong had a lot on her mind and passed out while she was taking care of Bella in the hospital.

After Jing De disappeared, the elderly lady was heartbroken, afraid he’d never come back.

But Qin Chu didn’t dare to tell his mother-in-law that Jing De was an imposter and a weirdo.

It was better to say he had disappeared, giving her something to hope for.

Qin Chu drove to the hospital with Zhixin sitting in the passenger seat.

“Brother-in-law, do you have news about my dad? Did you ask Brother Gao Ran?”

Zhixin hoped they could find Jing De.

“No.”

“Brother-in-law, shall we… tell my sister about our mother’s condition?” Zhixin didn’t know what to do.

“Let’s not tell her.”

Qin Chu thought it was best to keep the imposter away from his mother-in-law as much as possible; it would be less dangerous for the elderly lady.

“If something happened to my mom and my sister didn’t get to see her, would she blame us?”
