Shui Anluo stared curiously up at Chu Ningyi.

Lan Xin smirked then shrugged. “What’s up with today? You’re all asking me the same question. Lin Qianchen and I haven’t spoken to each other in a year. What’s wrong?”

“One year?” Chu Ningyi repeated the timeframe. He then looked up at Qiao Huihe behind her and smirked, “You heard that, Director Qiao?”

Qiao Huihe’s expression turned uglier. How could she possibly not understand what Chu Ningyi meant? She stared seriously at Shui Anluo, muttered something about dinner and turned toward the table.

Although He Xiaoran didn’t know what had happened, she still shot her son a glare and finally took the little darling. “Come eat, you keep quiet.”

The little darling babbled as he was handed over to his grandmother. He puckered his little lips and kissed his grandmother on the cheek.

“Oh my, what a clever child,” the relatives exclaimed.

The little darling grinned and helped raise marks for his mother’s image. At that moment, all eyes were on the little darling.

Chu Ningyi held Shui Anluo and escorted her inside. He murmured, “You’re nothing compared to a little doll who can’t even speak?”

Shui Anluo looked up and shot him an angry glare. The little darling’s surname was Chu. Was her family name Chu?

“Why did you ask that question? How’s she related to Lin Qianchen?” Shui Anluo asked curiously.

“Do you remember when Lin Qianchen had mentioned that she had also seen the report through an academic exchange?” Chu Ningyi led Shui Anluo and walked past his relatives as they headed to the frontmost of the dining table.

Even though this was a family dinner, Chu Ningyi was the only main descendant of the Chu family. The other relatives had been segregated into tables around the main table.

“Maniere Jack?” Shui Anluo recalled that that should be the name.

Lan Xin, who had been helping Qiao Huihe to her seat, looked up at Shui Anluo when she heard the name, “You know my foreign country name, Junior Sister?”

‘Uh…’

Naturally, Shui Anluo had not known but since she had revealed it, now she did.

So Lan Xin was Maniere Jack but she claimed that she had not spoken to Lin Qianchen in a year. That also meant that when Lin Qianchen claimed to know the contents of the report because of Maniere Jack, that had been a lie!

However, she could not understand it… Lin Qianchen had already confessed to everything. Why would Chu Ningyi need to set this suspicion up?

Chu Ningyi sat Shui Anluo down and calmly explained, “I just want Grandmother to understand that the person she’s so fond about has never been honest in her life.”

Qiao Huihe’s expression sharpened and looked very unsightly.

Shui Anluo paused. She pursed her lips and looked at Chu Ningyi but felt a little distressed. Had Director Chu had said those things to avenge her and contradicted his own grandmother?

However, when Shui Anluo was staring in distress at Qiao Huihe’s increasingly sinking expression, she noticed Mo Lusu who was seated right across from her.

He… Was sitting at the main table?

Shui Anluo stared curiously at Mo Lusu but this time, Mo Lusu did not look at her. He did not look at anyone either. He simply lowered his head, who could tell what he was thinking?

After playing in his grandmother’s lap for a while, the little darling reached out and asked to be sent back to his daddy’s arms. However, Chu Ningyi had no intention of carrying him again. After his daddy did not respond even though he had reached out his little arms, the little darling’s mouth wobbled. Just when everyone thought that he would burst into tears, he sassily swung his body around and shrank back into his grandmother’s arms again.

If he would not hold him, fine, he was no rare product!
