“It wasn’t him . He’s been ignoring Mo Xue’er the entire time . ”

“Oh? Then who bailed her out? That’s strange…” Huo Mian was slightly surprised .
“I’m surprised too, it was Elder Xiang…”
“Elder Xiang…” Huo Mian widened her eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaowei in disbelief .
“Please don’t look at me like that, Mian . I’m not kidding, I’m 100% serious . ”

“If I remember correctly, the chairman of the Xiang Corporation is in his seventies…” Huo Mian was shocked .
“It’s him indeed . An informer from the bureau said that he’s well acquainted with Mo Xue’er . Rumors say that he’s her sugar daddy, but I’m not sure if it’s true or fake . Mo Xue’er did attend Mr . Xiang’s birthday party last year and it was on the news as well, but nobody had the guts to make a scene under the influence of the Xiang Family . It seems like Huo Siqian really broke Mo Xue’er’s heart this time and that’s why she went to the old man for shelter…”
“If that’s true, it’d be such a pity . I always thought Mo Xue’er was a smart girl and didn’t expect her to be involved with the Xiang Family . As far as I know, the Xiang Family has a mobster background, so things are probably more complicated than they seem . ”
“I also heard that they started as mobsters and slowly transitioned to legal businesses . From the outside, people in their family seem like ordinary businessmen who are well-connected with the higher-ups at the Municipal Bureau . I don’t understand either, but who cares? Anyhow, the Wei Family never deals with the Xiang Family . My father-in-law doesn’t seem to like them very much . When he occasionally mentions them at the dinner table, his words are usually derogatory . I don’t know much about the complicated relationships and grudges of these rich families . Whatever, let’s eat and talk about something else . ”

Jiang Xiaowei picked up a huge piece of meat and put it on Huo Mian’s plate .
“Okay . ” Huo Mian nodded .
Suddenly, Huo Mian thought of something and looked up at Jiang Xiaowei . “Xiaowei, are you close to Wei Ying?”
“Kind of… she’s my sister-in-law after all… but Wei Ying is super high-maintenance and indeed has Princess Syndrome . I’m not sure if I’m right about her though . Fortunately, we don’t live under the same roof so we get along just fine . ”

“How has she been ever since she married into the Shen Family?” Huo Mian asked in a soft tone .
“Hmm, how should I describe her situation? I guess she’s doing okay . The guy from the Shen Family is an introvert . He doesn’t like talking and seemed to be tepid towards Wei Ying, but Wei Ying was willing to marry him . Moreover, my father-in-law and the Shen Family also supported the marriage, so truth be told, no one has been paying much attention to how happy the couple is . All they care about is whether the marriage is going to last,” Jiang Xiaowei analyzed calmly .
“Okay . ” Huo Mian nodded again .
“What’s wrong? Did something happen, Mian?”
Jiang Xiaowei was extremely smart and knew that Huo Mian wouldn’t ask a question like that without a reason .
Huo Mian was very close to Xiaowei and didn’t want to hide anything from her . Therefore, she briefly told Xiaowei about her encounter with Huo Yanyan .
Jiang Xiaowei sighed at the end . “If it’s true, then Wei Ying sure is immature . Men have their own ways of handling things, and women shouldn’t mess around . Her immaturity has turned her into an unreasonable shrew . In contrast, Huo Yanyan has turned into a considerate young woman . ”
“Young Master Shen doesn’t seem like a rolling stone and Huo Yanyan probably doesn’t think she’s that charming either . Who knows what will come out of their relationship . Anyhow, your sister-in-law probably has a lot to say about me at the moment . After all, I helped Huo Yanyan out, and she knows you and I are good friends . If she nags you about this…,” Huo Mian paused deliberately and looked at Jiang Xiaowei; she knew the latter understood what she wanted to say .
