When Xing Jiuan returned, the others happened to be having lunch.
Mu Qing and Lu Mingxi had already returned. When they saw Xing Jiuan enter, they did not say anything and only told her to wash her hands and eat.
Xing Jiuan went over.
"Senior Brother," she called out suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Mu Qing looked at her.
"Nothing." Xing Jiuan lowered her head and ate again.
Lin Ling's studio had something on and she left before Xing Jiuan arrived.
At the dining table, Xing Jiuan spoke very little. However, whenever Ou Qi spoke to her occasionally, she would respond.
"By the way, Senior Brother, I'm going to race tonight." She thought for a moment and said, "I'll be back around 10:30 PM, okay?"
After what happened yesterday, Xing Jiuan felt that she needed to strengthen her image as an obedient girl. Therefore, she had planned to report this in advance.
Anyway, Mu Qing knew about her racing.
Moreover, this matter could be verified.
It was not appropriate for her to explain what had happened yesterday to Mu Qing.
Although Lu Zhichen knew about it, he would not betray her.
"Then I'll go with you."
"No need. I'll play by myself. I'm not competing with anyone."
"I'm not busy either. I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay." Xing Jiuan didn't mind.
Mu Qing and the others often watched her race anyway.
At the Huo residence.
Huo Jinqi had told his parents about what Lin Feng had told him not long ago. The two of them were indeed very angry.
If Xing Jiuan had really been deliberately abandoned by Huo Chulan's parents, they would definitely not let the matter rest.
Previously, they had hired people and had them investigate Huo Chulan's parents. However, there were no problems found.
This time, after what Lin Feng said, they were prepared to investigate again.
"Dad, Mom." Huo Jinyuan walked in, his expression obviously ugly.
"Have you found anything out?" Madam Huo asked anxiously.
"I have." Huo Jinyuan sounded tired as he handed over the documents in his hand.
"Yanyan was indeed abandoned."
Abandoned in such a remote place, only death awaited those who were not lucky enough to be seen and taken away.
Actually, the truth back then was already very difficult to investigate.
After all, so many years had passed. Back then, they had also investigated Huo Chulan's parents, but they did not find anything wrong.
When the other party said that they would bring little Xing Jiuan home to visit her relatives, they had gotten the bodyguards to follow along.
The two people who had followed them were retired mercenaries. They were very skilled, and their loyalty could be guaranteed.
They had thought it would be fine.
Who would have thought that in the end, the two mercenaries' whereabouts would be unknown, and their child would be reported missing?
The Huo family really hated Huo Chulan's parents.
After that, the money they'd given them dried up.
However, they would still let Huo Chulan go back often. Whatever Huo Chulan had, she would give to them.
They had never suspected this before.
Huo Chulan's parents looked like an honest couple.
Furthermore, they had investigated them before the child was born. They were both young people who worked hard for their survival. There was nothing bad about their resumes.
They were very ordinary people.
However…
Madam Huo's hands trembled as she looked at the documents in her hands.
"How could they? How dare they?" Her voice was filled with hatred.
"What did we do wrong to make them harm my child like this?"
When she thought of how Xing Jiuan had refused to acknowledge them and how she clearly wanted to draw a line between them, she felt especially terrible.
"Call the police.. We must make them pay."
