At five o'clock in the evening, Huo Qingyu drove to a private restaurant.
As soon as Su Manman got out of the car, she saw the large characters on the sign.
A private kitchen nestled under the moonlit willow branches.
Holy crap! Isn't this the restaurant owned by the mistress?
[I almost forgot, Liu Yue, the beautiful mom's best friend, is her scumbag father's mistress.]
【"The moon rises above the willow branches"—what a cheeky name! Willow moon, willow branches—it's actually quite fitting, hahaha...】
Huo Qingyu's hand trembled as she closed the car door. Liu Yue was her high school classmate, and the two had always had a good relationship.
Huo Qingyu attended a prestigious high school where all her classmates were wealthy and influential. Only Liu Yue came from a poor family and was admitted through a special admission program because of her excellent grades.
Her classmates all looked down on her, but Huo Qingyu admired her and thought she was very ambitious, which is why the two became close friends.
"Manman, don't just stand there, let's go inside!"
Su Manman stood still.
"Mom, today is your wedding anniversary, I'd better not go and disturb you."
Goodbye, I don't want to sit at the same table as you guys. Just thinking about the three of us meeting up is exciting enough. Wouldn't it be better for me to just sit back and watch the drama unfold?
"Mom, you can introduce Dad to me another day, there's no rush. I don't want to ruin your mood."
"Mom, I think I shouldn't go. This place is really not suitable!"
Huo Qingyu took out a bank card from her purse and handed it to Su Manman.
"Since you're here, you should go in and eat. There's ten million in this card, take it and spend it."
Su Manman happily took the bank card and kissed it right away.
"Thank you, Mom!"
Her adoptive parents had already taken all the money from her, leaving her penniless.
Seeing how happy she was, Huo Qingyu couldn't help but smile too.
“Manman, sit near Mommy for a while. Mommy will be happy to see you eating.”
"Okay, Mom, you go in first, I'll find a seat myself in a bit."
[Mom's smile is so gentle! So beautiful, that scumbag dad is truly blind!]
Huo Qingyu walked into the restaurant and sat down at the agreed-upon table.
Su Manman covered her face with her long hair, then walked in with her head down and found a seat.
This seat is just across the aisle from Huo Qingyu's table. Su Zejiang has his back to her, but Huo Qingyu can still see her without affecting her view of the melon. It's just right.
As soon as Su Manman sat down, she heard the system's voice in her mind.
[Host has triggered a gossip figure; there's big news!]
Su Manman's eyes were filled with excitement; she knew it would be like this.
[Big news: The key figure is Su Zejiang.]
[I knew it! The moon rising above the willow branches is that mistress's.]
What?! Su Zejiang is Liu Yue's ex-boyfriend, the mistress in this story! She actually introduced her ex-boyfriend to her best friend!
[Is Liu Yue mentally disturbed?! She introduced a man she didn't want to my mother, and now she's becoming a mistress!]
[Oh my god! This is huge news! Liu Yue not only gave birth to Su Yixin, but she also has a son who is already 23 years old!]
Su Manman calmed herself down. This son wasn't mentioned at all in the original book, which meant the original plot was incomplete. Thinking about it, that made sense; it seemed like the book had been abandoned...
Upon hearing her daughter's thoughts, Huo Qingyu's forehead veins bulged.
She picked up the water glass in front of her and slowly drank the water to calm her surging emotions.
Seeing that his wife was in a bad mood, Su Zejiang put a piece of pork rib on her plate.
"Qingyu, this is your favorite food. I noticed you don't seem to be in a good mood. Is it because you're too busy at work and tired?"
Huo Qingyu shook her head, her expression calm.
"It's nothing, I just haven't been feeling well lately, so I went to see a doctor."
Su Zejiang looked reproachful, but his tone carried a hint of doting affection.
"I've told you before not to be so busy and to take care of your health. You've been pushing yourself too hard since you had Yixin."
"The company still has me, and our son too, what are you worried about?"
"I think you should take a vacation, go out and have some fun, relax and unwind."
Huo Qingyu was touched; after so many years together, her husband still kept her in his heart.
Seeing Huo Qingyu's moved expression, Su Manman couldn't help but complain.
[My goodness, you actually believe him? He'd love for you to be away from the company so he can keep a firm grip on it.]
[In your past life, you were driven to suicide by this scumbag and his slut. Right after your funeral, that scumbag changed his company name from Qinghai Group to Jianghai Group.]
[His mistress was also married off in a grand ceremony. Poor mother, please don't be fooled again! It's so worrying!]
Huo Qingyu put down the ribs she had just picked up and poured herself another glass of water.
Su Zejiang took out a brocade box from his pocket, and inside was a necklace.
"Honey, this is a starry sky necklace designed by the famous jewelry designer Joyce. Isn't it beautiful? It's a limited edition worldwide."
"Honey, let me put it on for you."
Huo Qingyu nodded and said gently.
"Thank you, honey."
Su Manman curled her lip, looking utterly disdainful.
[Tch, my scumbag dad is so hypocritical. Joyce designed this jewelry set as a star and moon combination.]
Although the starry sky contains many small diamonds, they are all small carats, so the diamonds themselves are not valuable. It would only sell for ten million.
[Moreover, there are many star-themed designs, over a hundred in total, but there's only one moon design, which is currently being worn around the mistress's neck!]
The "Moonlight Radiance" necklace worn by the mistress is the main piece of this necklace set, worth 100 million!
[That scumbag dad is so hateful! He gave my beautiful mom a baby's breath as a reward! Waaaaah, he's bullying me!]
Huo Qingyu's eyes darkened, and she turned her head to avoid Su Zejiang's kiss on her face.
