As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Before Anyi's matter was even resolved, another situation unfolded on Xiaoxiao's end. Uncle Ying had been taken away by the Corruption Investigation team for corruption and bribery. When Tang Ruochu heard about it, she was totally shocked. As far as she knew, Uncle Ying was an upstanding and principled person. How could such a thing happen? When Tang Ruochu rushed over to Xiaoxiao's place, Ying Xiaoxiao was comforting Aunt Ying who was crying her eyes out. "Mom, Dad isn’t that kind of person. I’m sure he’ll come home soon." Ying Xiaoxiao did not believe that her father would take the risk and do something that could harm himself when monitoring and inspection for corruption were so tight. "Xiaoxiao... if your dad..." Mrs. Ying was crying so hard that she could not even complete her sentence."Mom, don't overthink it. Trust Dad, and he’ll be back very soon." Ying Xiaoxiao patted her mother on the back and held her in her arms. Se
"Chuchu..." Ying Xiaoxiao rushed into her arms and cried her eyes out. Since she was afraid about distressing her mother who was already so worried about her father, she had been holding back. Now, before Chuchu who cared about her, she let all of her pent-up emotions out. Tang Ruochu gently patted her on the back and did not say anything. She simply kept her company in silence. ... "Looks like that old man still made a move." After Lu Shijin heard Mu Ling's report, a serious expression materialized on his handsome face. Xiaoxiao's father had suddenly been reported anonymously for bribery and corruption, but the case in itself was weird. When Chuchu requested his help to look into the matter, he immediately asked Mu Ling to investigate. With the investigation, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. "President, what should I do now?" Mu Ling appeared a little solemn too. He knew how complicated the dynamics in the Lu Family were, and he also knew tha
When Tang Ruochu got home from the Yings’ place, it was already ten at night. The moment she stepped into the house, she saw Lu Shijin sitting in the living room, waiting for her. Lu Shijin, who heard sounds of movement, turned over and looked at her warmly. "Why are you back so late?" "I was worried about Xiaoxiao." Tang Ruochu slowly walked to his side and sat down. She then put her head on his shoulder and slowly closed her eyes, looking rather exhausted. Only the sound of the old wall clock could be heard in the huge living room as Lu Shijin raised his hand to hold her shoulder and gently caress it. After a while, she asked, "Shijin, how's the investigation going?" Lu Shijin was silent, and he did not immediately answer her. As she did not hear a reply from him even after some time, Tang Ruochu opened her eyes and turned to look at his well-defined jaw with a frown. "Is there something wrong?" Lu Shijin uttered a soft "yeah" and did not say anything more. Furrowin
She slowly closed her eyes and softly said, "Yes, everything will pass."…Shen Mofei's attitude was as firm as ever, and he made Grandpa Shen both angry, as well as stumped, at the same time. He thought that with his ill condition, that brat would at least compromise with him, but he did not. That made him angry and troubled. That Song Anyi was a lot more important to that stinking brat than him now. Xu Wenjing noticed that Grandpa Shen had been sullen for the past few days, and she knew it was because of her third brother, so she took the initiative to look for Shen Mofei. When she saw Shen Mofei and Song Anyi walk out of the Times building, her eyes dimmed slightly. The moment they saw her, both Shen Mofei and Song Anyi stopped simultaneously. She walked over and asked, "Third Brother, is it convenient for you to talk with me?" Shen Mofei turned and glanced at Song Anyi before he rejected her request, "It’s probably inconvenient." Song Anyi knew that Xu Wenjing had
Uncle Ying's matter proved more difficult to resolve than expected. Lu Shijin tried to use his connections, but all of them chose to stay away and were unwilling to get involved. After he ran into several dead ends, Lu Shijin began to feel a little frustrated. He had originally thought that the old man's influence would never reach Beining, but now, it seemed that he had taken him too lightly. Clearly, this time around, the old man would not stop until he reached his goal. Tang Ruochu walked into the study with a glass of milk in hand and saw Shijin frowning as if there was something particularly difficult to handle. Pursing her lips, she tiptoed over quietly. Gently placing the milk on the table, she looked at him with concern and asked probingly, "Shijin, did something happen?" Lu Shijin looked up at her, and his lips twitched a little. "Nothing happened." Then, he asked, "Why aren’t you asleep yet?" Tang Ruochu sighed helplessly. "So many things have been happening lat
Lin Xuezhi smiled slightly, lifting the coffee cup to her lips and taking a sip. She then turned to look at the bustling street outside the French windows, seemingly not in a hurry to tell Tang Ruochu her purpose. Tang Ruochu did not rush her as well and showed considerable patience. After a while, Lin Xuezhi gradually turned her head and placed the coffee cup back on the table. She raised her eyelids and looked at Tang Ruochu's face. "Ms. Tang, I trust that you’ve seen the determination Shijin’s father possesses. You think Shijin can fight against him alone?" "I have faith in Shijin." What a concise, yet naive answer. Lin Xuezhi chuckled and shook her head. "Ms. Tang, don't you know that Shijin has not made any progress on the Ying Family’s case over the past two days?" Tang Ruochu frowned a little and stared at her coldly without a word. The smile on Lin Xuezhi's face grew deeper. "All of you are just too young and no match for Shijin's father." "This is Beining, not
Although Tan Ruochu did not believe what Lin Xuezhi had said, the moment she recalled Shijin's rather grim expression from the night before, she could not help but wonder if he had really run into a problem. She originally planned to return to her company, but she quickly made a U-turn at the intersection ahead and drove in the direction of Thunderbolt Group. She needed to ask Shijin personally if he was really at a loss on Uncle Ying's matter as Lin Xuezhi had claimed. Since she had not made an appointment in advance, the front desk did not allow her to go in directly. Instead, they notified someone in the president's office. Mu Ling came down to pick her up in the end. As she walked into the elevator with Mu Ling, she thoughtfully looked at the man who had always been with Shijin. Mu Ling felt the gaze from the president's wife and frowned uncomfortably. He then turned to look at her. "If you’d like to ask me anything, please do not hesitate." "Really?" Tang Ruochu look
Fearing that worry would plague him, she quickly added, "She’s back for the same matter as last time." "She's still not giving up, eh." A mocking smile appeared on Lu Shijin's lips. Tang Ruochu bit her lower lip lightly with some hesitation in her expression. She then took a deep breath and said, "Shijin, she also said that you won’t be able to resolve Uncle Ying's matter this time around." As Tang Ruochu explained, she widened her eyes to stare at him as if she was trying to detect something from his face.She had no idea if he had hidden it too well, or there really was nothing wrong. She only saw him looking at her calmly. "Is that so? You believe her?" "I don't." Tang Ruochu shook her head. "I believe you." When Lu Shijin heard her words, the fog in his heart was swept away, and a faint smile spread across his lips. A faint glow shimmered in his dark eyes, which were fixed on her. "Thank you for your trust, wifey." Tang Ruochu raised her eyebrows. "Trusting you is what
