Jingdu International Airport.

Jiang Chunlan emerged from the VIP channel, where a middle-aged man in a suit briskly approached her and spoke respectfully.

“Madam, you must be tired from your journey. I will take you to the hotel to rest first.”

Jiang Chunlan strode toward the exit.

“No need, let’s get to business first.”

The terminal was bustling with noise, with a blend of shrill screams that pierced the ears.

Jiang Chunlan glanced from afar, seeing a sea of faces that completely blocked the arrival area.

“These are all fans, here to welcome those stars. There are so many people and it’s chaotic, Madam. We should leave as soon as possible.” Jiang Hui reminded.

“Ah, ah, ah. Qu Feitai has come out….”o

“Fly bravely, Qu Feitai. Pursue for a lifetime like a moth.”

A loud and united chant filled the entire airport hall.

“Qu Feitai? The crowned prince of the Qu family?” Jiang Chunlan raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

Jiang Hui let out a strained chuckle, “This Mr. Qu ignored a life of leisure and instead, chose to venture into the entertainment industry. It is said that because of this, he infuriated his father, who vowed to disown him.”

Jiang Chunlan chuckled, “The younger generation of the Qus are not what they used to be. They lack the charisma of their ancestors.”

“But honestly, Qu Feitai is quite popular now. He is the hottest celebrity. My younger sister adores him so much that it’s driving me crazy.”

Exiting the airport terminal, an unexpected drizzle had started.

Jiang Chunlan looked up at the overcast skies and sighed, “The weather in Jingdu is as unpredictable as ever.”

A black Audi pulled up in front of Jiang Chunlan. Jiang Hui went to open the rear door, waiting for Jiang Chunlan to get in before Zhou Xue climbed into the other side.

Jiang Hui opened the passenger door, sat inside, and told the driver, “Let’s go.”

The car sped along the broad avenues of Jingdu. Tall buildings stood shoulder to shoulder, and the roads were packed with cars. The prosperity of this international metropolis was just the tip of the iceberg.

Jiang Chunlan stared at the scenery whizzing past the window, thinking back to the time when she had left.

“Madam, this is Zhao Kang’s dossier.” Jiang Hui handed a tablet to Jiang

Chunlan.

“Zhao Kang’s wife, Wu Rumei, is a daughter of the Wu family. Over the years, he exploited his connection with the Wus to amass wealth and commit nefarious deeds, inciting public outrage. However, that’s not all. He also leads a very disordered private life, keeping many mistresses, one of whom is a popular rising star named Zheng Qing. Recently, Zheng Qing secretly gave birth to a son for him. Wu Rumei found out about this and caused a major uproar. Initially, the Wu family was furious and wanted to sever ties with Zhao Kang, but then Zhao Kang must have said something to them, and the matter was dropped. A week later, Wu Rumei was sent to a mental hospital, and Zheng

Qing now lives in Zhao Kang’s house.”

Zhou Xue scoffed, “Does the Wu family have something to be fearful of Zhao Kang?”

“According to our insider, Zhao Kang is very cautious. He keeps a ledger that records all gifts he has given over the years, perfectly detailed. The Wu family has accepted a lot from him over the years. If such a ledger indeed exists, the Wu family naturally dare not act rashly.”

Jiang Chunlan scanned quickly, “Find Wu Rumei. The key to this issue lies with her. And this Zheng Qing, have someone keep an eye on her.”

Today was Ming Jing’s turn on duty. By the time she got home, it was almost seven o’clock.

Approaching the living room, the lights were on, brilliantly illuminating the room.

Lin Qing and Granny Zhu were sitting on the sofa chatting. Seeing Ming Jing come in, Lin Qing immediately stood up, walked over with a smile, and took

Ming Jing’s backpack, “Why are you so late today? Don’t go alone in the future.

It’s not safe for a girl. Take the car with Xiaoxiang tomorrow.”

This was the first time Ming Jing heard Lin Qing speak to her in such a gentle tone.

“You must be starving. Go wash your hands. We were all waiting for you to eat dinner.”

Granny Zhu watched the two with a beaming smile. It seemed that Lin Qing had finally come to her senses.

Ming Jing took back her backpack and said flatly, “I’m not eating dinner.”

“Ah, I forgot. But you can still have some soup, right? You don’t eat meat, so I especially made a mushroom soup for you. I put a lot of medicinal herbs in it to help boost your health.”

Granny Zhu added, “Ming Jing, your mother has been simmering it for the whole afternoon.”

Ming Jing knew well that this was a banquet set up in her honor.

“I’ll go upstairs and change.”

Watching Ming Jing’s back as she headed upstairs, Lin Qing’s eyes instantly darkened.

“It’s good that you have realized this. Ming Jing is your biological daughter. She suffered a lot in the past and yet, she is so sensible. You, as her mother, should take good care of her and show her some love.” Granny Zhu spoke with deep sincerity.

“Mom, Shaodan is in trouble.”

“What?” Granny Zhu’s blood pressure immediately spiked.

“The situation is very complicated. Right now, only Ming Jing can save Shaodan.”

Granny Zhu immediately understood and snorted, “No wonder you’re being so kind today. You have ulterior motives.”

Lin Qing chuckled coldly, “Mom, can you please prioritize? Shaodan is your grandson. Don’t you care that he is in trouble?”

“I’ve said it before that you spoil him too much. With his personality, he was bound to end up in trouble.”

“Mom, you used to adore Shaodan the most. If you won’t help, fine. But why are you adding insult to injury?

“What can an old lady like me help with? Beg someone with a shameless face? I haven’t even enjoyed the happiness of a family, and now I have to beg, regardless of my dignity. I don’t know how I ended up with such unworthy children and grandchildren.”

Lin Qing inhaled deeply, muttered ‘stubborn old woman’ under her breath, “Fine, if you could just not mention anything later, it would be a great help.

Agreed?”

Granny Zhu thought of something and asked, “Even you and Wentao are at a loss. How can Ming Jing help? She just returned from the mountains. Who does she know in Jiangzhou?”

Knowing that Ming Jing and Granny Zhu had a good relationship, Lin Qing revealed the issue of Madam Jiang to win Granny Zhu over, expecting her to understand. To her surprise, Granny Zhu just laughed and pointed at her scornfully, “You numbskull. You brought this disaster onto a perfectly fine family.”

“What do I mean? The most important thing between people is sincerity. You can resort to tricks with others, but you also scheme against your own daughter. No wonder Ming Jing is not close to you. You’re failing as her mother..”
