Chapter 409

Rong Dai replied to her, then urged her to be safe on her way back before hanging up. She then turned to look at Huo Shao Ting.

“Mei Shu is coming back. Shao Jie still has things to deal with on set so he hasn\'t returned home.”

“From the sound of Mei Shu\'s voice, she is very tired. Grandma probably just got to Hainan so they are not used to things yet and it must be chaotic for them.”

“I\'ll go cook noodles for her. Mei Shu will feel awkward seeing you too so do you want to go upstairs first?”

She was subtly reminding the little sister-in-law. After all, the little sister-in-law was still a bit fearful of Huo Shao Ting.

Although the little sister-in-law\'s silence was brief, she knew that she was hesitating.

On the surface, the issue with the mother-in-law seemed to be resolved between the Huo and Lu families but some problems had been planted.

These were issues that could not be resolved in a day or two.

Huo Shao Ting hugged her and kissed her cheek. “I\'ll go cook the noodles. You rest.”

Rong Dai was startled for a moment before smiling and nodding.

As she watched Huo Shao Ting\'s retreating figure heading to the kitchen, she contemplated thoughtfully. But there was no rush with this matter.

After Huo Shao Ting went to cook noodles, she did not rest in the courtyard. She tidied up the teapot and teacups then went upstairs to get a new set of house clothes and toiletries for Huo Mei Shu to put in the guest room.

After the married couple were busy for half an hour, the doorbell at the gate rang.

When she opened the door, she saw Huo Mei Shu had clearly lost a lot of weight and her complexion was haggard like a scarecrow.

Recalling the little sister-in-law’s fair and tender face, Rong Dai\'s eyebrows knitted together slightly. She let her in first.

“Thank you, elder sister-in-law.”

Huo Mei Shu’s voice was muffled, filled with exhaustion.

“Go wash your hands. Go eat the noodles.”

Rong Dai took her luggage and put it aside while softly urging her.

This was not Huo Mei Shu\'s first time at their house. After washing her hands and coming out of the bathroom, she happened to see Huo Shao Ting with an apron around his waist bringing out the noodles.

Her eyes instantly turned red. She stood frozen for a few seconds, hastily rubbing her eyes to stop the tears from falling.

Seeing this, Rong Dai found an excuse to go upstairs first.

“Have a seat.”

Huo Shao Ting looked at Huo Mei Shu with an impassive face but his tone was not as icy cold as usual.

Huo Mei Shu obediently sat down. Looking at the piping hot noodles and the stir-fried shrimp and vegetables, she lowered her head to eat silently.

Rong Dai did not go to eavesdrop on the siblings\' conversation. In the study, she supplemented and revised the documents she had edited then sent them to Lu Nianzhi’s email.

She then took out her phone to check updates on Weibo.

Three minutes ago, the video trending earlier was no longer trending. Now there was an audio recording.

This recording was preemptively released by Ning’s assistant. She claimed that just to be safe, she had recorded this audio.

Rong Dai frowned. She believed in the professional capabilities of the bodyguard. Since he had checked the phone earlier and found nothing wrong, it meant Ning and company had prepared other recording devices.

She clicked to play the recording. The audio had been edited. Of course she would not forget what she had said.

The recording very clearly captured Ning\'s aggrieved and regretful lines. Then there was the assistant\'s stuttering and panic before turning into static noise.

This was a clever edit.

A cold smile appeared on Rong Dai\'s face as she looked at Lu Nianzhi\'s number in her contacts. She hesitated a few seconds before calling.
