"Yes, Zhixin's right . Ha," Huo Mian replied vaguely .
"Why would I yell at you if it's just a bag? Buy it, your husband's rich . "
"So, you're not going to yell at me?" Huo Mian wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, acting cute .
"Of course not . You're now the vice director of a hospital . You can't be carrying around a 100-yuan bag, right?"
"Mom, you're really becoming more and more understanding . . . " Huo Mian planted a kiss on her mother's cheek .
"Alright, alright, the two of you, get out of the kitchen . I need to cook . "
Yang Meirong was the happiest when her children ate at home . Although it was tiresome, it brought her a great deal of joy .
After their mother returned to the house, Huo Mian and Zhixin came to an unspoken agreement of putting a stop to their previous conversation subject .

Instead, they began to chat about random things in the living room, accompanied by fruits and snacks .
-Before lunch -
Huo Mian's phone beeped . She took a look and saw that it was a message from Huo Yanyan .
There was only a photo in the message, of Qin Chu and Zhang Manlin drinking coffee . Although the photo was taken from far away, the resolution was high enough
"What’s this?" Huo Mian asked .
"I just saw them while I was shopping . From afar, I thought it was you . . . but the style looked off . . . You would never wear short skirts and sneakers . I took a closer look and realized that it's a college student . Do you know about her having coffee with Qin Chu?"
So, Huo Yanyan was messaging Huo Mian to give her a heads up .
Ever since her daughter's kidnapping, where Huo Mian and Huo Siqian met alone, the two had stopped contacting each other . Their dynamic shifted subtly .

Huo Mian didn't really understand why Huo Yanyan was telling her all of this .
"Yes, I know . "
"Who's that woman? Your relative?" Huo Yanyan asked .
"No . "
"That's weird . She looks so much like you . . . like a younger version of you . . . " Huo Yanyan added .
"Really? I don't really see it . " Huo Mian played along .
"Oh，then I"ll let you get back to work . I just wanted to give you a heads up…just in case you were still oblivious to all of this . "
"Thanks for the reminder . I'll pay attention to it . "

Huo Mian and Huo Yanyan had become formal and distant . The latter knew that Huo Mian wasn't her biggest fan .
Qin Chu and Zhang Manlin's coffee meeting wasn't a planned thing .
Qin Chu was out for a business meeting but his client was late due to a delay in flight . He was simply waiting in the coffee shop .
Zhang Manlin went to the coffee shop at the same time and they bumped into each other . She left after the exchange of a few sentences; she didn't stay for long .
But, Huo Yanyan arrived just in time to see it, so she passed on the information directly to Huo Mian .
Other than Huo Yanyan, Su Yu also witnessed the meeting .
He and An saw them as they drove past in their car .
In contrast to Huo Yanyan, Su Yu chose not to tell Huo Mian . He didn't think that it was honorable to drive a wedge between Qin Chu and Huo Mian .
Plus, knowing Qin Chu for so long, Su Yu didn't peg him as someone who'd easily stray from his relationship; coffee didn't mean anything .
"President Su, the light's green . We can go?" An reminded his distracted boss .
Su Yu stepped on the gas without replying . . .
"An, question for you . "
"Sure . "
"Can two people who are unrelated look alike? Can they share the same personality traits? Is it possible that it's just a coincidence?" Su Yu thought about Zhang Manlin's behavior; everything about her was too similar to Huo Mian .
"That's hard to say . I would think there's something funny going on . Why, President Su, did you discover something strange?"
