Qin Xiaohua wondered if she had gone crazy from working so hard. How did she suddenly find that there was a child in the house?

Although this child is extremely beautiful.

As she walked in, she exclaimed in surprise, "Dad, when did you and Mom get me a Sino-foreign joint venture outfit? This child is so beautiful, she looks amazing!"

Zhou Jiaqi is a mixed-race kid who inherited his father's good genes. He has an incredibly handsome appearance, despite his young age.

Qin's mother peeked out from the kitchen, beaming, "Right, right? You also think this child is adorable? I adore him when I see him."

Mr. Qin was playing with the children building blocks when he heard this. He was both amused and exasperated, and scolded his daughter with a laugh, "You're being irresponsible. What do you mean by Sino-foreign joint venture? You're just talking nonsense."

My own daughter's mouth!

No wonder he's a lawyer.

Jiang Tong chuckled awkwardly, poked her head out from the kitchen, and beckoned Qin Xiaohua over.

Qin Xiaohua greeted Zhou Jiaqi and patted the boy's head, marveling at how well-behaved and adorable the child was. But then she noticed Jiang Tong's guilty expression and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Her friend usually looked like this because she had done something wrong.

She found it quite unusual.

"What's wrong? Where did this child come from? You look strange. Confess right now!"

Qin Xiaohua wore a business suit under her winter coat; the sharp suit was quite imposing, giving Jiang Tong a subtle feeling of interrogating a criminal.

"Well, this child is my boyfriend's child. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Jiang Tong closed her eyes and gave her instructions, then waited for Qin Xiaohua to have an attack. After waiting for a while without any movement, she secretly opened her eyes to take a look.

Qin Xiaohua then grabbed Jiang Tong's cheek and said, "Are you crazy! Are you trying to be a free nanny? Taking care of someone else's kids? Two kids aren't enough for you? If you think that's not enough, bring my son over to help take care of them another day!"

She launched into a barrage of probing questions: "What's the child's father's name? Where does he live? Who is he?"

Unable to escape her friend's clutches, Jiang Tong had no choice but to ask Qin's mother for help!

When Qin's mother turned around and saw her daughter bullying Jiang Tong, she immediately came over and slapped her daughter's hand that was pulling Jiang Tong's face. "You're going to die! You're bullying Jiang Tong again! She's a soft-hearted child, so you can't just pinch her like that, can you? How old are you? And you're the one lecturing Pei Pei! I think you're the bad example!"

Jiang Tong immediately hid behind Qin's mother, unable to resist grinning foolishly.

Having someone to protect you makes you bold.

Qin Xiaohua was stunned; it had been a long time since she had seen Jiang Tong so vibrant.

She immediately laughed along, "You're really protecting her. I think she's your real daughter. I'm just trying to clear her head. She just escaped one fire pit and now she's jumping into another? Is she even reliable?"

Qin Xiaohua was genuinely worried. When Jiang Tong got married, she was extremely skeptical of Xu Huaiyuan, thinking he was unreliable. But Jiang Tong was willing to marry him anyway.

Now that she's divorced, she feels a sense of relief, but then, when her mother wasn't looking, Jiang Tong pulled this stunt on her, and she found someone else?

Jiang Tong also felt guilty.

She didn't expect to fall in love again so quickly, but feelings are irrational.

Jiang Tong had no choice.

Qin's mother told her daughter not to bully Jiang Tong, and then gave them both a plate of braised chicken feet, telling them to go to the study to talk if they had anything to say.

It's quiet over there.

Qin Xiaohua grabbed a bottle of red wine and some chicken feet, then dragged Jiang Tong away. As she passed the living room, she told the kids to go play with their grandpa and not to bother the adults chatting. The children obediently nodded.

Jiang Tong was led away with her head down.

Then the two of them appeared in the study.

The two sat facing each other.

Jiang Tong quickly said, "I don't drink. I have to drive them home later."

Qin Xiaohua chuckled, "Don't you have a man now? Get him drunk and have him come and take you home. I'll see what kind of person can bewitch you."

As a friend, I'm quite annoyed.

Jiang Tong protested slightly, "Well, he's actually a really nice person."

Qin Xiaohua looked at me with disbelief.

Jiang Tong finally sighed and told her the gist of the matter.

As Qin Xiaohua listened, her eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing in them behind her glasses. "Zhou Yuansheng?? The son of that financial tycoon?"

Jiang Tong nodded obediently while munching on a chicken foot.

Qin Xiaohua hissed as she held her wine glass, then said with a headache, "How did you end up with him? Did you get scammed? That guy is from a completely different world than us. If it is him, are you sure you've thought it through? Can his parents accept an ordinary woman as their daughter-in-law?"

That was a wealthy merchant family for generations, a true aristocratic family.

A world completely different from that of ordinary people.

Qin Xiaohua frowned and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just the existence of their family's legal department is terrifying. It is said that there is no case they cannot win in our country. No one dares to offend the Zhou family, you understand? These several wealthy families are closely related and have a complex and intertwined foundation. It is not something that ordinary people like us can understand."

For her, if Jiang Tong's love interest really was this important figure, then she would undoubtedly be plunging headfirst into the deep sea, not even knowing how she died.

Jiang Tong was also stunned, because the Zhou family her friend mentioned was completely unfamiliar to her.

From her perspective.

When Zhou Yuansheng is mentioned, people think more about his gentleness towards the children, his playful and affectionate way of teasing her, and the warm and lovely appearance of his parents.

Those were people she had personally met, living and breathing, vividly existing in her mind.
