Huo Mian wanted to take Qin Chu’s feelings into consideration – she knew how the twins acted around Su Yu . Therefore, she didn’t want to see him .
Before Qin Chu could say anything, Little Bean interjected, “Mommy, I don’t want to go anywhere else . Let’s eat here . ”
“Mommy, I want to see Handsome Su as well,” Pudding said with anticipation .
“Let’s do what the kids want… it’s okay to see him, we’re all friends . ” With a smile, Qin Chu held Huo Mian by the hand and the four of them walked into the restaurant .
“Hi, President Huo, President Su’s here as well,” the manager of the restaurant immediately said upon seeing them enter, to which Huo Mian nodded . “Mhm, I know . ”
As they were taken inside to their seats, the family of four saw Su Yu and Jian Tong sitting in a quiet corner .
Before Huo Mian could greet him, Little Bean immediately rushed up . “Handsome Su!”
“Little Bean! Why are you here?” Su Yu was extremely surprised to see Little Bean .
“Everyone’s here,” Little Bean said, pointing to Qin Chu, Huo Mian, and Pudding, standing not far behind her .
Su Yu turned around in surprise . “Um, you’re all here?”
“Yeah, the kids wanted hotpot, so we came,” Qin Chu said .
“What a coincidence! You guys should sit with us . ” Jian Tong stood up with a smile, no matter how unwilling she was in her head .
Before Huo Mian could respond, Pudding walked up to Su Yu’s table as well . “Sure, we should sit together . ”
Then, Little Bean and Pudding each sat next to Su Yu, leaving Huo Mian feeling a little awkward .
“Come, sit down . Waiter, get President Qin and President Huo some plates and cutlery,” Su Yu ordered .
“Yes, Sir . ”
The atmosphere around the hotpot table was weird with four adults and two children . For one, Huo Mian wasn’t close with Jian Tong, and the twins borderline-hated her .
As they ate, Qin Chu and Su Yu occasionally engaged in casual chitchat .
Pudding, who was playing on her phone, suddenly said, “Hey, Auntie Jian, you’re on every newspaper headline today!”
Upon hearing this, Jian Tong’s expression changed .
“I saw it as well, it’s about Auntie Jian’s past… I wonder if it’s true?” Little Bean chimed in .
“Of course it isn’t, someone is defaming me on purpose . You guys are too young to understand how complicated the entertainment industry is . ” Jian Tong smiled gracefully .
“Actually, we know how complicated the entertainment industry is, despite our young age . You must’ve worked very hard to survive in such a complicated industry, does that mean you’re a complicated person?” Pudding glanced at Jian Tong .
“Ahem, Pudding, order what you want to eat . ” Huo Mian immediately changed the subject .
“Did you guys hear that Mo Xue’er was bailed out?” Su Yu asked .
“Mhm, I did . ” Huo Mian thought back at her conversation with Jiang Xiaowei and nodded .
“I checked out the source of the news, it’s a tiny press under the Xiang Family… I’m thinking it has to do with Mo Xue’er since she’s been living at the Xiang Family ever since she was bailed out . ”
“That’s a possibility… after all, she’s rivals with Ms . Jian, and the Huo Corporation and Imperial Star are competitors . I wouldn’t be surprised if she was behind all this . ”
“I’m not going to forgive Mo Xue’er for this!” Jian Tong said angrily . Then, she looked at Su Yu with innocent puppy-dog eyes . “I’m fine with this scandal because I’m used to being defamed . I just don’t want to drag President Su down with me… or Imperial Star… I don’t want him to suffer, I’ll just take all the blame . ”
As she said this, tears shone in Jian Tong’s eyes…
“Auntie Jian, no wonder you won the best actress award this year…” Pudding suddenly said .
