Huo Mian shook her head, "No, my mom is suffering from poor health, so she won't be able to take the hit . I don't think she knows, she's been thinking that I'm her biological daughter this whole time . I'm afraid she won't be able to handle the truth . I'm not planning to tell Zhixin either . I'm afraid it will ruin our relationship, and we would never be able to go back . Besides, I haven't found my biological parents yet . I'd rather tell them when the time comes . "
"Sounds like a plan . "
"Honey, I still want to visit Dong Tao when I have time just to see if I can find any more clues, and take a look at the small town that I was born in . I still want to go check it out myself . "
"Sure, I will go with you in a couple of days . If you want, we can even stay there for a few days . "
Huo Mian nodded . . .
At around noon, Huo Mian stayed at GK and ate lunch with Qin Chu . In the afternoon, Qin Chu left the company for an off-site visit .
Huo Mian took a cab home . Since she didn't have work, he was thinking about cleaning their condo .
But to her surprise, she received a call from Shen Jiani . . .
"Huo Mian, let's meet . I need to talk to you about something," Shen Jiani said sweetly .
Huo Mian thought about it for a moment and decided to meet her . After all, if she didn't, then they might come looking for her at South Side .
It would be even more terrible if they were to disrupt her at work . . .
Huo Mian walked into a luxurious coffee shop located downtown . She saw Huo Yanyan and Shen Jiani the moment she walked in .
Shen Jiani was in a pale white Qipao, and with her well-kept skin, she looked rather young for her age .
Huo Yanyan, on the other hand, wore a flaming red puffy dress with her hair in big curls – looking glamorous and flirtatious .
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Huo Mian walked over and asked directly .
"Mian, come and sit . Waiter, get her a glass of orange juice, please . " Shen Jiani ordered for Huo Mian .
"No thank you, water is fine . "
"Okay, waiter, get her a glass of water . " Shen Jiani smiled as she observed Huo Mian .
"You've grown to be so beautiful . . . " For the first time, she complimented Huo Mian .
The weasel goes to pay his respect to the hen – not with the best intentions . Huo Mian thought to herself .
"I don't like to go around in circles . Just tell me what you want . "
"Consider yourself lucky that my mother wants to speak to you, just shut up and listen . " Huo Yanyan glared at Huo Mian grumpily .
Huo Yanyan was never in agreement when her mother proposed that they should speak to Huo Mian . But given the tight circumstances, Shen Jiani had no other choice but to hope that she could find a breakthrough with her .
"Mian, I might've done wrong in the past, I hope you don't mind . Yanyan is younger than you and is technically your little sister, so you don't have to stoop down to her level . She's got a very straightforward personality, so please excuse her . "
"Being direct and speaking ill are two different things . I don't think I need to pardon her . After all . . . there's not many fellowships to speak of . "
" I don't need you to pardon me, who the hell do you think you are . . . ?" Huo Yanyan said angrily .
Shen Jiani immediately pressed her down before she could go off . . .
"Yanyan, sit . What did I tell you when we got here? I told you to get along with your big sister, right?" Shen Jiani pretended to snap at Huo Yanyan .
Huo Yanyan angrily turned her head to the side . . .
Shen Jiani then smiled and said, "Mian, I came looking for you because I'm out of options . I really hope that you can help us . Huo Siqian's been attacking us quite frequently recently, and he already forced Siyi to the Philippines . The environment there is tough, and a kid like him has never lived like that . He can't possibly take it . Your father can't do much to transfer him back since he's limited by the board of directors and there are just too many interests involved . What's worse is that Huo Siqian has been bringing his own people into the company . "
"So? What can I do?" Huo Mian took a sip of water and asked .
