"She is despicable and resorts to any means necessary. Her relationship with the young master is also out of greed for the Xiao family's wealth."

There's so much about her; you can find it all online.

"And what happened today..."

"What is it?" Xiao Zhenqiao asked.

"Sister Ling was fired. She made a dish with peanuts for Madam, who is allergic to peanuts. This was practically suicide. She even framed Miss Tang. Miss Tang was there at the time, and they argued fiercely. They thought Miss Tang was the one who made it, but in the end, Sister Ling admitted it too."

"It's just really strange."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenqiao's face darkened to the point that they dared not continue speaking.

Fearing that if they continued, Xiao Zhenqiao would become furious and severely reprimand them.

I suspect my impression of Tang Yaoyao isn't much better.

Xiao Zhenqiao returned home without saying a word, his face cold.

"Honey, you're back."

Madam Xiao warmly welcomed them, holding a bowl of white fungus, bird's nest, and lotus seed soup.

She and Tang Yaoyao learned to make it together.

Sometimes, cooking something delicious can improve your mood.

Madam Xiao was very happy doing these things with Tang Yaoyao.

Xiao Zhenqiao's expression softened: "You seem to be in a good mood. I heard from the maid that one of the maids made a mistake. Are you alright?"

He was concerned about Madam Xiao's health.

Madam Xiao said, "What could be wrong? I haven't eaten. Come and have some. This is lotus seed soup that Yao'er and I learned to make."

"Yao'er is more amazing than I imagined; she can do everything."

Xiao Zhenqiao glanced at Tang Yaoyao.

Tang Yaoyao politely called out, "Dad, there's no sugar in this bowl."

Madam Xiao said, "Oh, Yao'er is so thoughtful. I only told her once that you don't eat sweets, and she remembered it."

Xiao Zhenqiao picked up the bowl of lotus seed soup and looked at his wife: "I'm glad you're happy. It's been a long time since I've seen you smile so contentedly."

He picked up the lotus seed soup and drank it all in one gulp.

Madam Xiao smiled even more brightly and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Go do your thing, I need to talk to Yao'er."

Madam Xiao broke free from Xiao Zhenqiao's embrace.

Tang Yaoyao was quite clever. Afraid that Xiao Zhenqiao would be jealous, she said, "Mom, Dad just got back. You stay with Dad a little longer. I'll go and bring a bowl to Fourth Brother."

Xiao Zhenqiao didn't mind: "I'm going to the study. Your mother likes to chat, so you can spend some more time with her."

After saying that, he kissed Madam Xiao on the cheek.

Mrs. Xiao said apologetically, "Go quickly, why are you doing this in front of the children?"

Xiao Zhenqiao liked to see her shy expression, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

A hint of tenderness finally appeared on his indifferent face.

He walked silently to the study.

Not only was Madam Xiao's girlish heart overflowing, but even Tang Yaoyao thought Xiao Zhenqiao was incredibly handsome.

He may be a bit cold on ordinary days, but when he looks at Madam Xiao, his eyes are overflowing with affection.

That kind of charisma is unmatched.

Tang Yaoyao suddenly realized that her father was so handsome it was outrageous.

She even said to Madam Xiao, "Mom, Dad is so cool and handsome. If I had been born a few decades earlier, I would have become Dad's little fangirl."

Madam Xiao chuckled and shushed, "If Han'er heard this, he'd probably be jealous. Let's stop talking."

He turned on the computer in his study and searched for news about Tang Yaoyao.

Rows and rows of old news articles that can't be deleted: Tang Yaoyao's entire process of entering the entertainment industry.

Her dark history, achievements, all sorts of messy stuff.

How chaotic the entertainment industry is depends on how the media portrays it.

None of them were clean.
