"Yes?"
"One month of time . . . it'll be great if we succeed . . . but what if we fail? What are you going to do then?"
"I have my own plans for that . Don't worry about it . "
"Alright, I got it . "
"Cheng, drive Lin-Lin home . "
Yes, Boss . "
After Cheng and Zhang Manlin left, Huo Siqian sat down on his leather seat and let out a long sigh .
If Zhang Manlin failed to drive a wedge between Qin Chu and Huo Mian within the one-month deadline given by Ian, Huo Siqian's only option would be to activate Plan B . . .
If that happens . . . it'll be another bloodbath . . .

Su Yu received a call from An when he arrived home . The latter informed him that the investigation turned up nothing . It really was strange .
Just then, Wei Liao sent him a message on Wechat .
Wei Liao: "Su Yu, asleep?"
Su Yu: "Not yet, what's up?"
Wei Liao: "Just wanted to talk . "
Su Yu: "About what?"
Wei Liao: "About that girl who looks like Huo Mian . "
Su Yu: "What’s there to talk about?"
Wei Liao: "Su Yu, I think this is a great chance for you . . . "

Su Yu: "What chance?"
Wei Liao: "Seriously? You're going to play dumb with me? You've liked Huo Mian for years and you know that it's not going anywhere . You don't go on dates and you don't try to look for a girlfriend, making everyone in our circle question your sexuality . Even your mom's asked me about your sexual orientation . So, I think it's time for you to give everyone an answer . "
Su Yu: "So? What should I do?"
Wei Liao: "I think this girl is a good match for you . Think about it . She looks like Mian and her personality's similar to Mian as well! Plus, she's young and sensible . Isn't that great for you?"
Su Yu: "So what you're saying is, since I can't get the real thing, I might as well settle for a counterfeit product?"
Wei Liao: " . . . "
Su Yu's analogy made Wei Liao speechless yet wanting to laugh .
"Honey, who are you talking to? It looks intense . " Jiang Xiaowei came over wearing a face mask, settling her head against his shoulder .
"I'm trying to persuade Su Yu . "

"What's happening?" Jiang Xiaowei was the only person unbeknownst to the existence of Zhang Manlin .
Wei Liao proceeded to describe in detail of their encounter with Zhang Manlin the other day, not forgetting to add his opinions .
Finally, he asked, "Baby, do you think I was wrong?"
"I think it was a dumb thing to do," Jiang Xiaowei said with a straight face .
Wei Liao:" . . . "
"Honey, you don't have to be so honest . . . "
"No offense, but for a smart man, you're kind of an airhead this time . Su Yu likes Mian because she's one of a kind . She can't be replaced just because some woman looks like her or acts like her . . . If he could move on that easily, it wouldn't be real love . That's called infatuation . "
"I'm just worried about Su Yu's love life . . . "
"But his love life isn't something that's forcible . I am very interested in the woman you're talking about, though . I really want to see her . How could she be so similar to Mian?"
"Yea! I was completely shocked when I saw her! Seriously, she looked exactly like a young version of Huo Mian . . . " Wei Liao commented .
"That's very strange . . . haha . . . I guess I should find a chance to meet her . I hope nothing bad is going to happen . "
Jiang Xiaowei was a meticulous woman, not one to see things at face value .
Huo Mian didn't mention the coffee meeting between Qin Chu and Zhang Manlin . After she returned home, she put the twins to bed and entered her bedroom .
After Qin Chu came back, they had a brief exchange of words and then went to bed .
-The next morning -
"Mian, are you working overtime tonight?"
"Not sure yet, why?" At the breakfast table, Huo Mian looked at Qin Chu with a sandwich in her hands .
