Jiang Ning has always been a person of action. Since she had agreed to Wu Hao's request to rescue her parents, she immediately convened a meeting to arrange the trip to Hong Kong.

With only two weeks left before the Asian Games Village project, they must resolve the issues and return within that timeframe.

Luo Guangming had some concerns.

"Sister-in-law, after all, it's your first time going to Hong Kong. Isn't it a bit risky for just you and Wu Hao to go?"

Jiang Ning planned to go alone with Wu Hao, without bringing any assistants.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen firmly opposed it, arguing that Hong Kong, unlike the mainland, especially the capital, had seen a significant improvement in public security after the crackdown.

Hong Kong is different. In the past, the triads were still very powerful. Once they were on Hong Kong's territory, it would be harder than climbing to heaven to rescue someone.

Jiang Ning disagreed: "I went there under the guise of an inspection, representing Fuqiang Group. No one would openly harm me."

Besides, her space isn't just for show; it's actually easier to get things done if she goes alone.

However, since Lin Chen was worried about her, she simply asked him to take leave from the design institute so he could go with her.

Lin Chen: "A top-notch designer has just emerged in Hong Kong, and I'd like to go there to learn from him. I've already applied to the institute."

"Can you buy me a plane ticket?"

Soon, the assistant bought plane tickets for the three of them to fly to Hong Kong.

The couple rarely traveled together, so they packed two large suitcases.

Jiaojiao looked aggrieved as they all turned to leave.

"Are you on a business trip or a vacation? I want to go too!"

Jiang Ning patted her head and said, "When you graduate from junior high school, I'll take you abroad as a graduation gift."

"Really?" Jiaojiao excitedly nudged Tongtong.

Tongtong wasn't as excited as her, and only said calmly:

"When you travel to a place, the main thing is to learn about the local culture and geography, which can be learned through extensive reading."

Jiaojiao protested, "Going on a trip is as tiring as doing scientific research. Can't we just enjoy the scenery and eat delicious food?"

"Mom, remember to bring me some good food when you come back."

Besides studying, her biggest hobbies are designing beautiful clothes for herself and eating.

Tongtong's hobbies are much quieter; she likes to tinker with small gadgets and take them apart and put them back together.

He had taken apart the radio and watch in the house.

They even took the refrigerator, washing machine, and television that were no longer in use at home.

He not only fixed some minor problems, but also sold the second-hand appliances for fifty yuan more than others.

The amount of money wasn't much, but it gave him a lot of confidence, allowing him to devote more energy to his research.

His biggest dream right now is to see when his family computer breaks down so he can take it apart and study it.

After handing over their two easy-going children to Wang Xiufen and saying goodbye to Luo Guangming and the others, Jiang Ning and Lin Chen carried their large bags and headed out to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, Wu Hao had also arrived.

Looking at the loving couple, he felt a mix of emotions.

However, for his parents' sake, he had no choice but to suppress all his bitterness and greet Lin Chen warmly.

Just as they embarked on their journey to Hong Kong, Yang Ziqiang suddenly called Yang Lu back.

"Lulu, is this your necklace?"

When she got home, Yang Ziqiang showed her a gold necklace and asked her about it.

Yang Lu took the necklace. "That's right, isn't this the one you gave me before? Dad, are you getting senile?"

Yang Ziqiang sat down on the sofa with a sullen face, not in the mood to joke with her.

“When I got home today, I saw this necklace fall out of Aunt Wu’s pocket. It looked familiar, so I called you back to ask about it.”

Yang Lu then realized that Yang Ziqiang suspected Aunt Wu of stealing.

"No way, this necklace would only sell for a few hundred yuan, and we're paying her a pretty good salary right now! Do you really need to do this?"

Yang Lu had never lacked food or clothing or money since she was a child, so she didn't understand how absurd things people would do when they were short of money.

Yang Ziqiang was naturally unwilling to believe it either. After all, Aunt Wu had taken care of him for so many years, and he had almost come to regard her as family.

Just as the two were staring at each other, Aunt Wu returned from outside.

She had originally planned to take the gold necklace to sell, but when she arrived at the pawn shop, she found that she didn't have the necklace in her pocket.

When she returned and saw Yang Lu, she immediately understood what had happened.

Before Yang Ziqiang and his daughter could speak, she knelt down in front of him with a thud.

"Brother Yang, there's something I have to apologize to you for. I shouldn't have been greedy and tried to take Lulu's necklace."

The main problem is that my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and the hospital visit will cost several hundred yuan, which my son can't afford, so he had to ask me for money.

I'm broke right now, so I had no choice but to resort to dishonest means...

Aunt Wu struck first, letting out a wail that made Yang Ziqiang feel embarrassed.

"Oh dear, Xiao Wu, how could you be so foolish? If there's anything wrong at home, you should just tell me. Why do this?"

As he spoke, he took out two thousand yuan from the cabinet, placed it directly in his hand, and said that this was a gift for the child.

Seeing her father being so generous, Yang Lu suppressed her anger but didn't let it out.

“Aunt Wu, don’t steal things again. This is the first time, so we can let it go. But if there’s a next time, don’t blame us for being too small to accommodate someone as big as you.”

Yang Lu wasn't as easy to talk to as her father.

Yang Ziqiang said nothing more, clearly agreeing with Yang Lu's statement.

The next day, Aunt Wu sent the money home. While buying groceries, she ran into Xue Mei again.

After Xue Mei learned that she had sent the money out, she smiled smugly:

"See how good my idea is...?"

Aunt Wu rolled her eyes at her and interrupted her: "What do you mean 'not bad'? I was found out, and he even called his daughter back, saying that if I do it again, I'll be fired."

Fortunately, Brother Yang gave me two thousand yuan, which saved me from my immediate predicament.

Xue Mei chuckled, "You've already got the money, why are you still looking so worried?"

Aunt Wu walked to the pavilion and sat down. "Brother Yang is a really good person, he's kind-hearted, but Yang Lu is different. She and her brother are ruthless and have no human touch at all. After all, they're the ones who pay my nanny fees. I'm really afraid that one day they'll fire me."

With an income of 500 yuan a month, where can a woman her age find such a good job?

Xue Mei's eyes lit up, and she had an idea.

“Aunt Wu, I remember you told me last time that Yang Ziqiang had a girlfriend before, and she was pregnant. If we help him find his biological daughter, what kind of trouble can his two adopted sons and daughters cause?”

Aunt Wu frowned upon hearing this.

"He doesn't have a biological daughter. When his mother told him that, she said that she and her child were both dead. They died in childbirth in the hospital."

Xue Mei shook her head. "You can't be that honest, can you? Didn't his mother pass away?"

Now that we've brought out a biological daughter, she can't just rise from the dead and refute us!
