Your Trouble is My Trouble 9

“Honey, you think Yan did it?”

“It’s a possibility. She’s been trying to figure out who Zeng Rou worked for since she left.”

Thinking that Qin Chu had a point, Huo Mian responded, “Yeah, Yan mentioned that whoever Zeng Rou worked for was probably very powerful, considering they had such high-tech bugs. But if her people did kidnap Zeng Rou, she would’ve at least called me.”

“Maybe she doesn’t want to get you involved.”

“I’ll ask her about it next time she calls.”

“It may be too late to wait for her to call... Zeng Rou is Secretary Zeng’s only daughter,” Qin Chu emphasized.

“This does seem quite serious.”

The couple chatted in private, since the incident may have involved Lu Yan.

Naturally, Su Yu wasn’t interested in Zeng Rou’s disappearance; Gao Ran, on the other hand, was worried that the provincial government would be on his case until she was found.

They all had their own worries.

At the same time, inside a private kindergarten.

“Little Bean, what are you doing?”

“I’m in P.E., they’re playing ball.”

“Why aren’t you?” Boyuan voice messaged Little Bean.

“I’m not interested.”

“I’ll study more, so I can jump to the same class as you. I don’t want to be with these children, it’s so boring here.”

“Haha, sounds good, Gao Boyuan. I’ll await your arrival.”

“Little Bean, things in my family... have been unpeaceful,” Gao Boyuan said mysteriously.

“What’s wrong?”

“Something’s going on with my parents, I think a pretty lady is trying to seduce my dad...”

“What? He has a mistress?”

“Mhm, I think so. I didn’t have the courage to ask. But, my mom’s been in a foul mood. She’s too distracted to even cook for me, so she sent me to my grandma’s.”

“So you haven’t been living at home?”

“No, I’ve been staying at my grandpa’s; that’s why I’m worried.”

“It’s okay, Boyuan, if you take me seriously, I’ll have your back.” At times like this, the chubby Little Bean sounded like the head of a gang.

“Of course I’m taking you seriously! You’re the third most important person in my life aside from my mom and dad... the first person I think of when I have food to eat is you, then me. Even Yunchu only made number three!”

Boyuan’s world was very simple, and he saw things very directly.

“Come on, why bring Yunchu into the conversation? You and I are different from you and him, alright?” Little Bean was a little more mature than Boyuan, so she knew they weren’t comparable.

“Little Bean, what should I do? Should I do something?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll talk to my sister and we’ll formulate a perfect plan for you.”

“Okay then, make sure Pudding doesn’t tell Auntie Mian anything. If grownups get involved, the situation will become more complicated.”

“I understand, don’t worry.”

The truth was, Zhu Lingling and Gao Ran had talked things out; they were like teenagers all over again – because they wanted more alone time so they could ‘do stuff’, they asked Gao Ran’s parents to take care of Gao Boyuan.

However, this kid really thought that his parents were still fighting. So, he asked the kind-hearted, chivalrous Little Bean for help.

Little Bean, taking the situation ever-so-seriously, immediately went to talk to her sister. Pudding, however, was incredibly calm.

“Sis, say something!”

“There’s nothing to say. Uncle Gao’s not like that.”

“What do you know? Even people who love each other as much as mommy and daddy had to fight off enemies like Song Yishi... why aren’t you worried about stuff like this? Stop thinking about money, I bet if Yunchu falls for another girl in the future, you’ll cry your eyes out,” Little Bean complained with a pout.
