Xia Xiaoxuan followed them and couldn't help but complain: "Aunt Chen, when did your taste become so bad? These clothes look like those worn by children."

Gu Qinzhen and Chen Mengyin, who were walking in front, looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Mengyin quickly put away her smile, coughed helplessly, and said casually: "When I get older, I want to act cute, so why don't I buy clothes like this to dress up? See if I look younger instantly. How old are you?"

Xia Qingrou: "..."

Gu Qinzhen: "..."

Xia Xiaoqin finally turned around and scanned her body back and forth with a scrutinizing look on her face. In the end, she still showed an honest expression of disgust on her little face.

Xia Xiaoxuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times, and then said honestly: "It's not suitable for you. Your face looks too old. Otherwise, you can ask Uncle Gu to repair your face."

After hearing this, Chen Mengyin grabbed the napkin box and threw it in Xia Xiaoxuan's direction: "You are such a good boy. I am always so nice to you, so I gave you the opportunity to bully me like this."

Then she touched her face again and smiled: "Obviously I am still a beautiful girl as beautiful as a flower."

As soon as her words came out, several people gave Chen Mengyin a look of disdain at the same time.

But like someone who was fine, she put Xia Xiaoqin on the seat aside, and then sat down herself.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Chen Mengyin's eyes suddenly felt warm. She pretended to be fine and filled a bowl of soup, lowering her head to drink.

The original fear suddenly came to her mind again. If something really happened to her today, she would never see the two little guys and them again.

Gu Qinzhen glanced at her from the corner of his eye and put some green vegetables in her eyes: "Eat less meat. If you eat too much at night, it will be difficult to digest."

She nodded as she ate.

Xia Qingrou turned back to the two little guys and said, "It's almost bedtime for Xiaoqin and Xiaoxuan. You two go take a shower and then go to bed."

"But Mommy, I want to wait for you both. If you can't see with your eyes, I won't worry about sleeping first." Xia Xiaoqin hesitated.

Xia Qingrou smiled warmly: "It's okay, Aunt Chen is here and she will take care of me."

"Xiao Xuan, after you take a shower, you can tell your sister a story."

"Yes, I understand." Xia Xiaoxuan agreed and took her hand upstairs.

After hearing two little guys coming upstairs.

Chen Mengyin then asked: "Where is Shi Fuxun?"

Xia Qingrou's body froze in place, and after a moment she slowly said: "He is missing. I don't know when he will come back."

She spoke in a deliberately lowered tone at the end.

Chen Mengyin's beauty wrinkled slightly, and after a moment she continued to whisper in her ear: "Did he have anyone tell you anything, or did he tell you when he would come back?"

"I told you not to show off, but we don't know where he is now. He asked Special Assistant Xu to tell us not to go out in the Shijia Manor these days." Xia Qingrou said solemnly.

"It seems that Lin Ruirui didn't lie to me. They are really planning something in secret." Chen Mengyin looked up at Xia Qingrou thoughtfully and said.

She frowned slightly and asked curiously: "What did she say?"

"She didn't say too much. She just said that they wanted to remove Shi Fuxun from the election this time so that he would not have the chance to be the president of the Shi family again." Chen Mengyin said while recalling.

Suddenly she thought of something else and continued to ask: "Is there a lot of money to be made by being the president of Shi's Enterprise? Otherwise, why would they all work so hard to get this position?"

Xia Qingrou shook her head gently, but judging from what Shi Kun had said to her before, this position was indeed very popular.

But she also understood from his words that everyone who stepped down from the position of president of Shi's family would not end well in the end.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingrou suddenly felt worried again. She turned around and said in a lower tone: "They are not only interested in the wealth and wealth of this position, but also the power that this position can bring."

Chen Mengyin stuffed a piece of green vegetable into her mouth, chewed it slowly, and looked at Gu Qinzhen opposite.

Then she said with some curiosity: "You have known Shi Fuxun for so long, do you know what mysteries are hidden here?"

Gu Qinzhen pointed at Xia Qingrou beside her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is right. They want not only money, but also power, fame and fortune."

He put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and then continued: "There are many children of the Shi family who are fighting openly and secretly to get into this position. They just want to use these five years to create their own circle of strength. The connections, and the fact that they will secretly develop their own careers behind the scenes, are the reasons why they are trying their best to become the president of Shishi."

After a pause, he continued: "To be precise, the position of President Shi is just a springboard for their development."

Only then did Chen Mengyin understand the rules of midterm.

After a while, she asked thoughtfully: "Then the person who was reinstated during the design must be someone qualified to be selected."

Gu Qinzhen nodded: "The most likely person at the moment is that woman."

"That woman?"

"Shi Fuxun's stepmother." Gu Qinzhen said lightly, but a gloomy look appeared on his face.

Xia Qingrou's hands on her side tightened.

Shi Fuxun never mentioned that woman in front of her, and she never asked.

She knew that one day Shi Fuxun would tell her what she wanted to say, so she didn't want to mention his pain.

From all the things that woman did during this period, Xia Qingrou truly felt how difficult it was for Shi Fuxun to live in the Shi family.

She couldn't help but ask: "Is his stepmother treating him very badly?"

Gu Qinzhen gave a soft "hmm" and then said: "On the surface, their relationship is very good. No, to be more precise, the woman is very nice to him on the surface, but the eldest brother treats that woman very well in the eyes of outsiders." Women's feelings are indeed very weak and cold."

"Another witch who does one thing in front of others and another behind others." Chen Mengyin hated this kind of woman the most, she said unceremoniously.

Xia Qingrou, on the other hand, silently remembered what Gu Qinzhen said in her heart.

Seeing their curious expressions, Gu Qinzhen whispered: "Don't let me know about this matter. I'm telling you this in front of you, otherwise he will definitely kill me when he finds out."

Chen Mengyin put a hand on her chest and promised boldly: "I will definitely not tell him. Besides, he keeps a straight face like a big ice cube every day, so I am too lazy to tell him. He talks so much.”
