Ye Qingqing remembered something else, "This grandma must be in urgent need of money. She applied for the job because of the 50,000 yuan reward, and she even asked me to give her the cash today."
Gong Yi hurriedly asked, "Did you give her the money?"
"I gave it to her. I gave the money to the head chef. Grandma will give her the money after she finishes making the lotus root soup," Ye Qingqing said.
Gong Yi sighed again and waved his hand, "I want to be alone for a while."
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo left. When they reached the door, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but look back. Gong Yi's usually energetic face showed a hint of melancholy, as if he was recalling something.
After getting into the car, Ye Qingqing muttered to herself, "Brother, do you think Grandpa Gong knows that grandma who cooks?"
She felt that Gong Yi definitely didn't mobilize so many people to find the old lady because he wanted to eat the dish "Lotus Emerging from Water". To be honest, although "Lotus Emerging from Water" was delicious, it was just a dish. Gong Yi was richer than a country and had eaten all kinds of delicacies. Ordinary food could no longer tempt him!
Lu Mo fastened her seatbelt, smiled meaningfully, and said with certainty, "That old lady should be Huizi."
Ye Qingqing's eyes widened. "It's Huizi?"
Ding Ba's maternal grandmother?
She should have realized it sooner. Gong Yi was still obsessed with the dish "Hibiscus Emerging from Water," but no chef in the world could make the dish that the old man wanted. This meant that this dish must be known only to Hui Zi and Gong Yi, and perhaps it was even created by Hui Zi herself!
No wonder Gong Yi was so eager after eating the lotus root soup; he knew that Hui Zi was the one who cooked it.
Only Keiko could make that taste.
Ye Qingqing grew more and more excited as she thought about it. "The age matches up too. The old lady was about seventy years old, and she had such an elegant demeanor. Most old ladies don't have that kind of grace. It must be Huizi without a doubt, but..."
"But what?" Lu Mo asked.
Ye Qingqing frowned. "Huizi is a spy carefully trained by the Hosokawa family. She must be very capable. How could someone as capable as her live such a frugal life? It doesn't make sense!"
"There might be something going on. We'll find out once we find Huizi herself," Lu Mo said.
Ye Qingqing nodded, "Once we find Huizi, we'll know where Gongzhu is. Oh dear, the whole family of Eighth Brother is here, except for his father. I wonder who his father is. He must be a remarkable person!"
Huizi is so outstanding, her daughter must be just as good. Ordinary people would never catch Gongzhu's eye. The man who could make her willingly have a child must be no ordinary person!
"Maybe so. We'll know once we find Keiko!"
Lu Mo glanced out the car window; it was completely dark. He couldn't help but smile. "Tonight is Ding Ba's wedding night!"
Ye Qingqing pouted, "There's nothing we can do. Tianxiong's baby is in an unstable position, so she can't do anything during the first three months. My brother can only watch!"
Lu Mo's lips curled up slightly, his smile deepening, with a hint of schadenfreude.
Given Miao Tianxiong's ferocity, Ding Ba is unlikely to have an easy time tonight.
Luxury suite on the top floor of Jinjiang Hotel.
Miao Tianxiong removed his makeup, took a shower, and changed into simple pajamas. When he came out, he saw Ding Ba and a wedding bed covered with big red "double happiness" characters, with peanuts and red dates scattered on the bed.
There was only one large bed in the entire room.
Miao Tianxiong shook the bed sheet, scattering peanuts and red dates all over the floor. The bed was now spotless. She yelled at Ding Ba, "Go sleep in the living room. Don't come in without my permission!"
"Why should I? I booked this room myself... ah..."
Before Ding Ba could finish speaking, Miao Tianxiong grabbed him by the collar, flicked him lightly, and threw him perfectly onto the living room floor. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and Ding Ba could only suppress his dissatisfaction and shut up.
