Huo Mian wasn't surprised to hear this; she figured out what was going on as soon as she realized that Song Yishi and that producer were jackals from the same lair. What surprised her, however, was that Mrs. Qin investigated into the matter herself. It seemed like she was more rational than she used to be.
"Mom… don't say her name when we're eating, you're going to ruin our appetites," Qin Chu reminded his mother.
Mrs. Qin immediately came back to her senses. "Right, right, let's not talk about her anymore…"
Everyone knew that Song Yishi's reputation in the Qin Family had gone to crap; she would never be able to chase after Qin Chu by sucking up to his parents ever again…
After dinner, Huo Mian helped the maid clean up the dishes. Then, she made some tea for Qin Chu's father.
Qin Chu sat down with his father as they drank tea and played chess. It was a rare sight to see.
