Huo Mian wasn't surprised to hear this; she figured out what was going on as soon as she realized that Song Yishi and that producer were jackals from the same lair . What surprised her, however, was that Mrs . Qin investigated into the matter herself . It seemed like she was more rational than she used to be .
"Mom… don't say her name when we're eating, you're going to ruin our appetites," Qin Chu reminded his mother .
Mrs . Qin immediately came back to her senses . "Right, right, let's not talk about her anymore…"
Everyone knew that Song Yishi's reputation in the Qin Family had gone to crap; she would never be able to chase after Qin Chu by sucking up to his parents ever again…
After dinner, Huo Mian helped the maid clean up the dishes . Then, she made some tea for Qin Chu's father .
Qin Chu sat down with his father as they drank tea and played chess . It was a rare sight to see .
That night, the Qin couple unwillingly said goodbye to Qin Chu and Huo Mian .
Mrs . Qin said, "If you're not too busy, remember to visit more often!"
"We will . " Huo Mian and Qin Chu booth nodded, and Mrs . Qin added, "Call me and tell me what you want to eat in advance, I'll prepare everything . "
"We got it, Mom, go back inside, it's too cold out here . "
Then, Qin Chu walked his mother back into the manor before getting into their car with Huo Mian…
"You should open the handbag my mom gave you . " Qin Chu smiled as he looked at Huo Mian, who was sitting in the passenger's seat .
"Why?" confused, Huo Mian asked .
"To see how much my mom put in there…"
"Huh? I thought she just gave me a bag, did she give me money as well?" Huo Mian was dumbfounded .
"I know my mom, and she's actually a really generous woman . Take a look, I'm not completely sure either," Qin Chu said as he drove .
Huo Mian carefully opened the bag zipper to see a bunch of cash lying inside the bag, all tied up in bundles .
She counted ten bundles, meaning that there were 100,000 yuan in that handbag .
At the bottom of the bag was a 1-yuan bill…
"Um… one in a hundred thousand… your mother sure was generous…" Huo Mian said, a little flabbergasted .
All she did was call her mother-in-law 'mom' . Not only did she give Huo Mian a 400,000 yuan bag, she also stuffed that bag with 100,000 yuan in cash .
Yup, she sure was a generous woman…
"It means she's happy that you called her mom . " Qin Chu smiled; he had been worried about Huo Mian's relationship with his mother ever since they got married . Now, things were finally looking up .
He knew Huo Mian didn't take a liking to his mother because of money; rather, it was because they had gained mutual understanding .
"Honey… GK's holding a celebrity party tomorrow night, do you want to come?"
"A celebrity party?"
"Yeah, all of GK's celebrities are going . The company even invited a few renowned domestic superstars and directors, I'm going to discuss with them the future development of GK Film and television…"
"Hey, sounds like fun . Should I bring a little booklet with me, so I can ask for autographs anytime I want to?"
"Nope, they're the ones who need to bring little booklets, since they're going to want your signature, Mrs . President . "
Huo Mian laughed . "Where and when is it being held?"
"8 PM, at one of GK's hotels . "
"Okay then, I'll go with you . I'm worried about the female celebrities at your company… They're capable of gobbling you up without even spitting out the bones . "
Huo Mian decided to go; she didn't want to give the female celebrities any opportunities to get close to Qin Chu .
Qin Chu laughed upon hearing what she said…
- The next day -
After Huo Mian got off work, she called Qin Chu and asked him if she should head over to the hotel beforehand for makeup and a wardrobe change .
Qin Chu said she didn't need to since it was just a private party and they were only having dinner and going to a nightclub afterward . The gathering was going to be casual .
Huo Mian immediately felt relaxed and headed to GK Headquarters with her mid-length white cotton jacket, toque, scarf, and black-rimmed glasses .
Then, the two of them drove over to the hotel and arrived at 7:50 PM .
Upon arrival, they walked straight into the VIP hall, which was bustling with people . There was a couple of dozen celebrities, both male and female . It was an incredible sight to see .
"Sister Mian!" Ni Yang, wearing a long black wind coat and looking particularly dashing, was the first to stand up and greet Huo Mian .
