3780 High-level Homewrecker 5

“Ahem… Mrs. Gao meant that your Yuning might have someone she likes, and that’s why she doesn’t go on blind dates.”

After she said it, Huo Mian kicked Zhu Lingling under the table, warning her to be careful with her words.

“Oh, that’s quite likely. I’ll ask her later.”

Mrs. Chen seemed to accept this explanation.

Huo Mian continued, “Madam, is Yuning your only child?”

“Yeah. To tell you the truth, we had Yuning in the eighth year of our marriage, so she’s the apple of our eyes.”

“Yeah, we can see that. You raised Yuning well… So, we’re not pleased when her colleagues gossip about her.”

“Gossip? What kind of gossip?”

Not stupid, Mrs. Chen heard the hidden meaning in Huo Mian’s words.

“They just say that Yuning, a newly graduated young girl, always cozies up to the leaders of the bureau, using her pretty face… But most of the leaders of the bureau are married men, so this kind of rumor is kind of vicious…”

“My goodness. How can people say this of my daughter? She’d never do such a thing. Her dad and I are very careful with our reputation and never put up with such behavior. Yuning is the same.”

Zhu Lingling almost rolled her eyes, thinking, “Your daughter would never do that? She and my husband are dressed like a couple now!”

Seeing Chen Yuning’s parents were honest people, Huo Mian knew the following part was easy to carry out.

She said with a smile, “Madam, don’t worry. Those are just gossip. Our chief heard it and gave them a dressing-down and forbade them from spreading the rumors… After all, our chief is a wise guy. His wife is afraid this rumor might put a stain on Yuning’s reputation, so she came with us to visit you and show our support for you.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Gao.” Mrs. Chen looked at Zhu Lingling with grat.i.tude.

Zhu Lingling forced out a smile but said nothing.

After eating the rice noodles, Huo Mian and Zhu Lingling took their leave.

Before they left, Huo Mian said to Chen Yuning’s mother meaningfully, “Madam, your Yuning is a good girl. If she wants, Mrs. Gao can introduce some good guys to her.”

“Good. Thank you, Mrs. Gao.” Mrs. Chen was full of grat.i.tude.

Back in the car, Zhu Lingling asked, “Mian, what game are you playing? I don’t understand it. Isn’t it a waste of money to spend over 100,000 yuan on gifts for them?”

“Don’t worry. We’ll have a good drama to watch.”

“By the way, what’s the thing you said you’d tell me after the visit?”

“Lingling, don’t make things difficult for Gao Ran.”

“I won’t. I plan to divorce him. I’ll tell my in-laws this week.”

“You’re still so impulsive.” Huo Mian tapped Zhu Lingling on the tip of her nose.

“If your husband cheated on you, would you remain calm?”

“Actually, you misunderstood Gao Ran…”

Then Huo Mian told Zhu Lingling everything and showed her the results of her investigation.

“Chen Yuning bought those clothes herself just to make you jealous. The truth is Gao Ran is totally unaware that Chen Yuning likes him. Don’t you think you did wrong with him?”

“This… Are you serious? Did you tell me the truth?” Zhu Lngling was dumbfounded.

“We’ve been friends for many years. I’d rather lie to Gao Ran than to you, sis.”

“The woman… is… so…”

“Yeah, Miss Zhu Lingling, your rival is a high-level homewrecker… If not for me, you’d have entered her trap and divorced your husband… After you’re out of the picture, she’ll have all the time in the world to pursue your husband. Isn’t it a good plan?” Huo Mian explained.

Zhu Lingling’s heart sank; she had never met such a horrible woman before.

“Mian, what shall we do next?” Zhu Lingling panicked.
