Huo Junyu was speechless and was panting heavily.
Jiang Mianmian! Is this situation going to continue indefinitely?
"I'm telling you!" he said, unusually assertive, "If this joke can be passed over, then let it go; if it can't, then I'll..."
"how?"
"If it can't pass, then forget it!" Huo Junyu said these words in the most forceful tone.
Back in the day, didn't Uncle Shan also kneel on the washboard with the toughest attitude?
Now that washboard has been passed down to him, but he's not going to be so pathetic. He absolutely can't kneel directly on it; he has to use a cushion!
Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a moment, then covered her face and laughed non-stop.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Huo Junyu gently pinched her nose. "I think the next step should be to hand over this data to the police. Using charity to amass wealth is not only a moral issue, but also a legal one. However, this data is all evidence of the He family's activities in Yangcheng. As for whether they have any in the UK, we'll probably have to investigate further."
"Should we hand it over directly to the police?" Jiang Mianmian asked.
"Otherwise what?"
“The Fu family and the He family have a long-standing relationship,” Jiang Mianmian said with some concern. “The interests of the two families are intertwined and inseparable. If this matter is not handled properly, the He family may retaliate.”
Huo Junyu immediately realized what was going on, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled softly, "If we hand the evidence over to the police, the He family will hold a grudge against us. But if the police come to investigate on their own initiative, the situation will be completely different!"
Jiang Mianmian nodded with a smile.
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Junyu called He Sirui and asked her to visit the orphanage next week.
Huo Junyu also specifically pointed out that it's the one your family sponsors and supports, so don't go to the wrong place.
After sending the message, Jiang Mianmian looked at Huo Junyu with a rather meaningful gaze.
He Sirui replied to the message almost instantly.
Jiang Mianmian's eyes held an even more complex depth, not simply an unfathomable quality, but rather a mixture of amusement and a hint of jealousy as she looked at Huo Junyu.
"Junyu, you're the only one who works! Hmm..."
Before Jiang Mianmian could finish speaking, Huo Junyu silenced her with a kiss. He held her petite body in his arms, and although she struggled a couple of times, he held her even tighter.
The kiss came on strong and overwhelming, and Jiang Mianmian felt like she melted into a pool of spring water, going limp in his arms.
"Can this joke just die down?"
"Well……"
Huo Junyu grinned mischievously, "If not, let's do it again!"

A few days later, Huo Junyu and He Sirui met at the welfare home in Nanbin.
He Sirui was very pleased with herself. Last time, she had told her that there was no such thing as pure friendship between men and women and that she should draw a line between herself and the man. How long had it been since she had endured that he was going to rekindle their relationship?
The moment she received Huo Junyu's message, she felt a sense of unreality. She wanted to pretend to refuse, but her vanity got the better of her, and she agreed without hesitation.
He then sent the chat screenshots to Jiang Mianmian.
She deliberately arrived at the welfare home fifteen minutes late today.
When she arrived, she saw Huo Junyu waiting at the door from afar, and that sense of vanity swelled up in her heart like a balloon.
"Brother Junyu!"
He Sirui ran over, trying to appear as natural as possible.
She specially chose a white dress today; the style is elegant and the lines are simple, which should be an excellent weapon for men.
However, Huo Junyu merely glanced at her indifferently and greeted her with a light laugh.
"Hello."
"Brother Junyu, what made you decide to invite me here?"
Huo Junyu looked up at the sign of the welfare home—Nanbin District Shengci Welfare Home. The "Saint" in "Holy Mother" and the "Compassionate" in "compassionate."
However, the Ho family is not doing anything benevolent here.
Huo Junyu suddenly felt that the brand was somewhat ironic.
He turned to look at He Sirui and said softly, "I just suddenly remembered that your family also has charitable work in Yangcheng, so I wanted to come and see."
“That’s right, this is the welfare home.” He Sirui smiled and led Huo Junyu inside. “My father has always treated it as a legitimate business and even put me in charge of the charity foundation here.”
Huo Junyu smiled slightly. "Of course we need to manage this well; it's much better than a proper career."
Legitimate investments are subject to various rules and regulations, and one must also guard against the cutthroat competition and deceit in the business world.
The best thing about charity is that it provides a facade.
Under the guise of charity, they were able to raise a large amount of funds from the public, and the charitable foundation had become the Ho family's slush fund.
The He family used this money to lend at high interest rates, which was a considerable amount of illicit income.
Huo Junyu clenched his fist and said in a low voice, "Actually, in the land use plan of Lu's Film City, there is also a piece of land that is used to build a welfare home. Heh, I came here today to ask you for advice on how to manage these things."
"The Lu family is also doing charity?" A strange glint flashed in He Sirui's eyes.
No matter how small her movements were, they did not escape Huo Junyu's notice.
Huo Junyu sneered inwardly. Did she think the Lu family was trying to steal business from the He family?
"Uncle Ashan and Aunt Yuqing are both kind-hearted people who have always been committed to charity. So when the film and television city project was built, they reserved a piece of land to build a welfare home."
"Excuse my bluntness," He Sirui said, "that piece of land is simply not suitable for a welfare home."
"Why?"
"Is that even a question?" He Sirui smiled. "President Lu spent a lot of money to acquire the film and television city project, right? The land price is so high, and film and television cities aren't projects that can generate profits immediately, yet he still wants to do something that doesn't make money... This is a losing proposition!"
"Brother Junyu, your Uncle Ashan is so capable, how come he's so muddle-headed now?"
Huo Junyu gave her a cold look, and He Sirui immediately stopped laughing.
The two of them walked around in circles in the courtyard.
He Sirui always tries to get closer to Huo Junyu, but as soon as Huo Junyu sees the shadow on the ground and the two are about to meet, he immediately walks forward quickly or widens the distance to the side.
This left He Sirui feeling resentful, but she didn't dare to vent her anger on him.
"Brother Junyu..."
He Sirui tried to make conversation by talking about the venture capital industry. But before she could even get started, several children suddenly rushed out from the corner!
They looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, with childish faces, but the fierceness in their eyes was completely out of character for their age.
"She's from the He family, throw water on her!"
Before He Sirui could react, several little boys each grabbed a basin of dirty water and poured it hard over He Sirui's head!
"ah--"
The entire courtyard was filled with He Sirui's piercing screams.
The little boys scattered in all directions, and something different appeared in Huo Junyu's deep eyes.
