It wasn’t Chen Meng’er’s analysis of what the Qu family would face if the people from the Lu family were acquitted that made Elder Qu make such a choice.

Instead, it was a thick stack of paper and a small notebook that Chen Meng’er took out from her bag before she left the study. And before Chen Meng’er left, she left behind a sentence, “Grandpa, the Qu family’s rise is not only for the Qu family, but also for the Green Gang. It’s also for this country. Take a good look at the information here. When you’re done, come and tell me your choice. If you’re done looking at the information and still make the same choice as you did before, then I have nothing to say. I respect your choice.”

When Elder Qu finished reading the documents left behind by Chen Meng’er, he was completely shocked. He was so shocked that he stood up straight from his seat.

He had never thought that their country would actually have so many moles, and each and every one of them was hidden so deeply. He didn’t even dare think about what their country would face if they allowed these moles to survive.

“You don’t have any other choice. Who asked you to be so patriotic?” Chen Meng’er had brought out this information precisely because she knew about her grandfather, Elder Qu. She would never fight a battle that she was not confident in.

She had come today with the determination to convince Elder Qu.

“You brat.” Elder Qu looked at Chen Meng’er with a mushy gaze. Even if he knew that his granddaughter had dug a hole long ago and was waiting for him to jump down, he would still jump down willingly.

“Alright, Grandpa, you go and sit there for a while. I’ll make some tea for you. You drink some tea and rest for a while. I’ll go to the kitchen and stew the medicinal cuisine.” Chen Meng’er thought, after her uncle and the others came back, she reckoned that she wouldn’t have the time to prepare the medicinal cuisine, so she decided to stew the medicinal cuisine first.

Moreover, Chen Meng’er calculated the time she had left. Now that she was braising it, it was time to eat. It was just right.

When Elder Qu thought about how he could taste his precious granddaughter’s cooking at night and how delicious it was, he salivated. “Girl, you don’t have to care about me. Just go and do your work. Oh right, that dish you made from last time, did you make it today?” As he said that, Elder Qu’s greedy look could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.

“Yes, I know that you’re always fond of iy. How can I not prepare it?” Last time at the Green Gang, Elder Qu and Elder Liu almost fought over this dish.

“Then hurry up and get busy. I’ll just sit here and wait for your uncle and the others to come back.” Elder Qu hurried them away. He was afraid that if he delayed Chen Meng’er a little bit, his delicious food would disappear.

The ingredients in the Qu family’s kitchen were quite rich. The ingredients that Chen Meng’er needed were all available anyway. In addition, Chen Meng’er took a few herbs that she needed from her space. Everything was ready.

Chen Meng’er tied up her hair and changed into her work clothes. This was what Elder Qu had ordered people to prepare according to Chen Meng’er’s measurements after he saw Chen Meng’er’s set of chef’s clothes from the Green Gang. At that time, he was even lectured by Madam Qu.

Chen Meng’er usually did not lack anything. At that time, Madam Qu almost threw out the chef’s uniform that Elder Qu prepared.

In the end, it was Elder Qu who was quick-witted and hid it. This allowed Chen Meng’er to be able to use it later. When Chen Meng’er first wore this chef’s uniform, Elder Qu had often proudly told Chen Meng’er about his great achievements. Hearing this, Madam Qu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
