"Nevermind, it's nothing . " In the end, Qin Chu said nothing .
You are acting oddly suspicious, and it is freaking me out," Huo Mian said, but nonetheless, let out a sigh of relief as Qin Chu reassured her it was nothing .
"Mommy, come eat pork chop rice . It's really good!"
"Mommy ate already, you guys enjoy . Come home early after dinner with Daddy, okay? I will drive home soon too . " "Okay, Mommy, see you soon!"
Upon hanging up the phone, Pudding smirked at Qin Chu . "I thought you trusted Mommy . Now you're checking up on her with facetime? Good thing Mommy returned from the event early . If she really went karaoking with her classmates, she would have been caught red-handed!"
The two kids thought Qin Chu wanted to check up on Huo Mian, and that was why he facetimed her, but only he knew the truth .
After dinner, Qin Chu drove the kids back to South Hill Manor . The kids were happily playing with their grandparents in the living room . Qin Chu picked up his phone and gave Gao Ran a ring .

"Yes, Mr . Qin! What is your command?"
"Gao Ran, can you investigate someone for me?"
"Who?"
"I don't actually know who she is . "
"Dude, are you toying with me? How am I supposed to investigate someone when you don't even know who she is . " Gao Ran didn't know what to think .
"How about this, open your local database and find Mian's photo . Run an analysis to see if there is anyone that looks similar to her . "
"Someone that looks like Huo Mian?" Gao Ran was dumbfounded .
"Yes . "

"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure," Qin Chu replied in determination .
"Bro, I'm kind of confused . What's going on? Are you looking for Huo Mian's twin sis or something?" Gao Ran asked .
"No, I saw someone on the street today . . . Nevermind, I will tell you about it later . Just check first . "
"Um . . . Okay . I will try, but it might not work . After all, you don't even know her name . It will be difficult to locate . "
Upon finishing the call with Gao Ran, Qin Chu sat in his reading room, quietly contemplating . His long fingers tapped on the surface of the desk as he fell deep in thought of this odd incident . He was so concentrated that he didn't even notice the presence of Huo Mian . She entered the room on her tiptoes, and she suddenly jumped out in an effort to prank Qin Chu as she noticed that he was so wrapped up in thought .
"BOO!" Contrary to what she thought, Qin Chu barely had any reaction .

Awkwardly, she said, "Um . . . At least give me some reaction, now it's super awkward," Her hands flew up to her face .
Qin Chu gently wrapped his arms around her and sat her on his lap .
"How was the reunion?"
"Two words, extremely boring," Huo Mian concluded .
"Heh, I knew it . I don't even know why they bother with such occasions," Qin Chu scoffed .
"To widen their network, of course . They are all very snobby and materialistic . They were rather polite to me and were wondering why you weren't there . What's more, when they heard Wei Dong went bankrupt, they were all extremely happy . They just laughed at his misfortune without any compassion . "
"Sounds about right . This is what society is like all along . So, going forward, it probably makes no difference if you stopped attending . "
"Uh-huh, that's what I was thinking . " Huo Mian nodded and continued, "Oh, by the way, do you remember Liu Ze?" Huo Mian looked at Qin Chu, her arms wrapped around his shoulder .
"Nope . "
"I thought you wouldn't remember! But, he is a transfer student in the second year . You know, the one whose father works at the school board," Huo Mian reminded him .
"Still don't remember . "
"Haha, fine . " Huo Mian shrugged .
"Why? Did he come today?"
"Yeah, he came today . He just got back to the mainland . He looks like he's pretty well-off . He drove a very high-key car . . . and apparently he studies medicine as well . But, the fact that he appeared at a time like this makes me a little suspicious . It's hard to say . " Huo Mian tilted her head as she pondered .
"Mian, let me ask you something . Have you ever seen another woman that looks just like you?" Qin Chu straightened her up in his embrace and asked her in a serious manner .
