"Miss Qiao, hello." Su Jing stood up excitedly, staring intently at her face. "We meet again."

"Hello, Mrs. Huo," Qiao Wanwan greeted her politely. "Please sit down and order. Don't be shy."

"good."

After discussing and ordering the dishes, Su Jing excitedly said, "I didn't expect Miss Qiao to like spicy food too."

"Yes, I prefer strong flavors, but my husband eats lightly, so I don't eat spicy food much anymore, just occasionally indulging in it."

“I also like spicy food, but Shi Qian can’t eat much of it, and neither can my daughter.”

"Mrs. Huo has a daughter?"

"Yes, if I may ask, how old is Miss Qiao this year?"

"twenty three."

"What a coincidence, my daughter is also 23," Su Jing said with a smile. "When is your birthday?"

"August 5th."

"What?" Su Jing exclaimed in disbelief, "August 5th? Isn't that the same day, month, and year as our Momo's birthday?"

"Really?" Qiao Wanwan smiled calmly. "That's quite a coincidence."

"What a coincidence!" Su Jing said with delight. "To be honest, Miss Qiao, I liked you the moment I saw you."

"Maybe it's because I look ordinary and approachable."

Everyone: "......" You call that an ordinary-looking person?

How are other people supposed to live?!

“Miss Qiao is very beautiful and has a great temperament.” Su Jing’s eyes were practically glued to her. “It’s just that you got married early, otherwise I would have done anything to get my Shi Qian to win you over.”

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Mrs. Huo is joking. I'm not only married, but I've also had a second child. I'm not destined to be with Mr. Huo anymore."

"Yes, yes, yes, our family has strict traditions and very sound values. We wouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts. I was just saying that, Miss Qiao, please don't mind."

"Won't."

"Miss Qiao, where are you from...?"

"......"

While we were chatting, the dishes were served one by one.

The three of them ate and chatted, making for a very pleasant lunch.

Qiao Wanwan harbored resentment towards the Huo family, but she could tell that Su Jing was a pure-hearted person, at least today, and did not have any ulterior motives.

They got along quite well.

After lunch, Zhan Jingting called to inquire, clearly not wanting Qiao Wanwan to stay any longer.

Qiao Wanwan took a sip of tea, stood up to say goodbye, "Mrs. Huo, thank you for treating me to dinner. I enjoyed it very much, so I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, I hope we can meet again next time." Su Jing took out her phone. "Ms. Qiao, let me add you on WeChat."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She subconsciously looked at Huo Shiqian.

Huo Shiqian understood what she meant and hurriedly said, "Mom, you and Miss Qiao aren't that close yet."

"It's just adding each other on WeChat. I won't bother Miss Qiao often," Su Jing asked expectantly. "Miss Qiao, is that alright?"

Qiao Wanwan couldn't refuse, so she took out her phone and said, "Okay."

After the two added each other on WeChat, Qiao Wanwan left.

Su Jing was overjoyed and immediately opened Qiao Wanwan's WeChat Moments. "Wow, her son is so cute!"

Huo Shiqian glanced at it and was speechless. "It's just the back of a head. How do you see it as cute?"

“Some kids are cute just from the back of their heads!” Su Jing said confidently. “I guarantee they’re even cuter from the front! But why aren’t there any front-facing photos?”

Huo Shiqian shook his head helplessly, "How could a wealthy family like the Zhan family casually reveal their child's face? Do they think the kidnappers won't recognize them as Zhan family children?"

"That's true. Children from wealthy families are usually well protected and don't show their faces easily."

Huo Shiqian looked at her and asked, "Mom, do you really like Qiao Wanwan that much?"

"How could this be fake? Can't you tell?"

"That's why it seems unbelievable. You've never done this to anyone else."

“I really think Miss Qiao is wonderful. I feel an instant connection with her. She and your sister were born on the same day, month, and year. That’s fate.”

"Hmm." Huo Shiqian said with a smile, "You can like her, but you can't bother her."

"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to remind me."

......

Ruan Tang was being watched by Jiang Dong, so he didn't receive any preferential treatment. On the contrary, because the evidence was conclusive, the process went smoothly, and he was quickly sentenced to three years in prison.

The Huo family tried to protect her, but failed.

The matter has finally come to an end, but I heard that Old Master Huo was quite depressed when he left the capital.

Qiao Wanwan was in a good mood and could focus on researching the antidote without any distractions.

Xiao Jiu receives acupuncture every day and is in very good health. Lao San is too young to take medication, but because he received treatment while still in Qiao Wanwan's womb, he has not shown any symptoms so far.

The most pressing issue remains Zhan Jingting.

Qiao Wanwan spent every day in the laboratory, and her hard work paid off, resulting in a significant breakthrough.

The problem is that we don't have the necessary medicinal herbs at home.

Qiao Wanwan did some research online and found that the century-old tortoise she needed was rare all over the world. Fortunately, there happened to be one available, which would be auctioned off at an auction in Haicheng this Saturday.

Qiao Wanwan was overjoyed and immediately called Zhan Jingting, "I need to go to Haicheng!"

What are you doing in Haicheng?

"Let's go to the auction and buy something." Qiao Wanwan didn't say it was for him. "There's a set of gemstones that I really like."
