Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Someone is Targeting Third Master’s Goldmine

Qin Jingcen and Qin Mei halted their actions upon hearing Qin Ruan’s words.

The three men stood speechless where they stood.

It was Qin Anguo who first snapped out of the stupor, pressing his hand to the corner of his eyes, he said in a babbling tone, "Good, good, I’ll make it for you. I’ll go make it right now!"

He then turned to head to the kitchen, his steps hurried, rushing away as if in panic, not wanting his daughter to see his teary eyes.

"I’ll go too." Qin Jingcen discarded the calculations on his face, and followed his father’s steps.

Only Qin Mei hesitated before walking over to Qin Ruan.

He asked softly, "Ruanruan, do you really want to eat it?"

Until this day, he didn’t know about Qin Ruan’s experience at the orphanage, where she was forced to eat piping hot braised beef in tomato soup.

Just a little bit of empathy could paint a picture of how agonizing that must have been.

Within Qin Mei’s anxious expression, Qin Ruan murmured, "I want to eat the braised beef in tomato soup made by you, father, and elder brother. I’ve eaten it before, and it was very delicious."

"You’ve eaten it before?!" Qin Mei widened his eyes.

"Yes, I have eaten it."

"But we only made it once."

Qin Ruan silently smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Could it be..." Understanding dawned on Qin Mei, his face filled with disbelief.

When he, his father, and his elder brother made the braised beef in tomato soup for the first time, it was Han Xian who told them this was their younger sister’s favorite dish.

When they put the finished dish in front of Qin Ruan, all they got in return was her rage.

She didn’t taste a single bite of that dish, it was all thrown to the ground.

To this day, when Qin Mei thought about that scene, he still could recall the feeling of loss and disappointment within his heart.

But now, all he felt was regret.

If Ruanruan claimed to have tried it, then there was only one possibility.

Qin Mei, who seemed to have realized something, his eyes filled with tears, he tried to say something, but he couldn’t speak.

"I’ll go make it again!" He turned around and rushed into the kitchen.

The younger Qin brother wasn’t good at keeping secrets and immediately shared his conversation with Ruanruan with his father and elder brother.

In the kitchen of the Qin family home, three big men were secretly shedding tears while cooking.

...

The tea house next to the Criminal Investigation Department.

In the private room, Huo Yirong and a dignified, upright man sat facing each other.

This man was the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Han.

The story started from noon.

If the three aristocratic families - Su, Nangong, and Xiao – didn’t know restraint, the Huo family would definitely make a move.

Huo Yirong decided to meet with Lu Han to probe the Lu family’s attitude towards the Xiao family.

The Xiao family was, after all, related to the Lu family by marriage. The Huo family would naturally need to notify the other three families before making a move, especially the Lu family.

Obeying Huo Yirong’s command, Huo Chuan went to invite Lu Han, the eldest son of the Lu family, for a meeting.

To his surprise, the other party took the initiative to propose a meeting today, demonstrating somewhat eager anticipation.

After meeting Huo Yirong, Lu Han revealed that the matter he wanted to discuss was related to Qin Ruan.

Given that Qin Ruan was the Huo’s family’s top priority protection target and the love interest of his three cousins, Huo Yirong was not in a position to make decisions regarding her.

In the quaint, antique-style private room.

Huo Yirong held a blue and white porcelain tea cup, calmly raised it to his lips, and elegantly took a sip.

On the other side of the table, the upright and handsome young man was getting a bit restless.

Lu Han was frequently glancing at his watch, displaying a subtle sense of urgency.

"Ding!"

The ringtone of a text message rang out.

Huo Yirong seemed to not have heard it. He blew on the tea in his hand and then brought the teacup to his lips again.

His proud and arrogant demeanor was on full display, ignoring Lu Han the entire time.

There was a reason, after all; this man dared to subpoena his sister for questioning by name.

This was equivalent to courting trouble with his three cousins.
