Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Panda Novel

Guan Ru said a lot, but He Chen didn’t speak at all along the way.

Finally, Guan Ru stopped talking.

After driving on the road for an hour and a half, the car stopped in front of the Qu family’s gate.

Despite becoming more low-key in the Beijing circle after the low tide period last time, the Qu family’s wealthy background still remained.

He Chen opened the rear seat door.

Only then did Guan Ru take a look at He Chen’s figure. She had grown up together with her, but at this time, she felt like He Chen was a little different now.

“Sister He Chen, I read the news about Young Master Qu…”

When He Chen got out of the car, she closed the door and slung her camera over her shoulders.

Turning to smile at Guan Ru, she waved her hands generously and charmingly. “It’s quite a good thing. Thank you for the ride. It’s not a convenient time today, but I’ll invite you for dinner another day.”

She directly went into the Qu family’s house.

Behind, Guan Ru stared at He Chen’s back with worry. After a long while, she sighed again, not knowing why her brother had compromised in the first place…

At the Qu family.

When He Chen walked up to the gate, the maid holding a teapot directly looked at her and frowned. She glanced at her up and down, noticing that there was even a tiny loose thread on her floral skirt. “Can I help you?” she asked.

He Chen glanced at her and said, “I’m looking for Madam Qu.”

The maid looked rather sweet, but she walked back in disbelief when she heard this.

As she turned around, Butler Qu came up to them.

“Young Madam.” Butler Qu smiled at her. “You’re finally back. Madam has been waiting for you a long time and is currently cooking soup in the kitchen.”

He turned his head in the direction of the kitchen and picked up He Chen’s camera. “Madam, Young Madam is back.”

Glancing at the situation inside the kitchen, He Chen knew that she might not be able to leave tonight. She handed her camera to Butler Qu and said, “I’ll go inside to take a look.”

“Yes.” The butler hurried upstairs while carrying her camera.

Before leaving, he gave the maid a light chastising look.

The maid froze, and a cold sweat broke on her back. Hadn’t it already been rumored that Young Madam Qu wasn’t favored by the Qu family?

What was going on?

“Xiao Chen, why haven’t you been back in so long? Do you not want Mom anymore…” Madam Qu came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands with a piece of paper. She looked at He Chen and couldn’t help but mutter, “Did Qu Zixiao make you angry again today? That bastard! I’ve already told him to come back!”

At the mention of Qu Zixiao, Madam Qu crossed her arms with a flushed face.

“No, those things on the Internet are just groundless accusations. Mom, don’t be too bothered by them.” He Chen shook her head, feeling her head throb as well. “Your heart is weak, it’s not good to be angry.”

Madam Qu was about to say something else, but He Chen smiled and said, “I’ll go up to take a shower first.”

There was an exclusive room for her upstairs, separated from Qu Zixiao.

She opened the door, and the butler carefully placed her camera on the table.

Taking out a USB flash drive, she sat down and inserted it into her computer.

There were computers in her room — a laptop and a desktop computer — both of which were full sets from Qin Ran.

She turned on the computer and, instead of immediately clicking on the content and pictures inside the USB flash drive, she clicked on the history record and directly logged into a black and white website.

If anyone was here, they would definitely be able to tell that this was 129’s official website.

She took a can of beer for herself and opened the tab with one hand while reading the news.

Many people looked for her to take orders, and she took two or three orders every month, more so than Qin Ran.

What she was looking for today was the three single missions in Continent M.

She was halfway through when the door suddenly opened.

Frowning, she directly exited the website page. She kicked her chair and turned around to see who it was.

By the door stood Qu Zixiao, wearing a black suit, and looking at her with a dark, impatient expression. “You asked my mom to call me back again? He Chen, have you forgotten the third clause of our agreement? We shall not interfere with each other? Or is this your new trick?”

Qu Zixiao’s face was black.

His marriage with He Chen had been a complete fake arrangement. He was all about Ouyang Wei, but his mother didn’t like her. However, he was stubborn and knew that Ouyang Wei belonged to him.

He had only agreed to the marriage with He Chen because she didn’t want her family to urge her to marry, either.

Both elders knew each other and had the intention of them getting married.

They had hit it off.

At first, he felt like this girl was pretty good and peaceful.

But later, she had become a demon and went to file complaints to his mother every two to three days. If it weren’t for the information given to him by Ouyang Wei, he wouldn’t have known that the loyal and honest He Chen on the surface was actually such a demon.

And He Chen didn’t know why Madam Qu was so trusting of her, but every complaint worked. Hence, Qu Zixiao became even more impatient with her, but he still didn’t dare to anger his mother and did whatever she asked.

Halfway through his meeting today, Madam Qu had threatened and lured him to come back and apologize to He Chen.

And it was all because of that news.

Qu Zixiao’s voice was rather loud and crackling. He Chen drank the last sip of beer and squeezed the beer can before throwing it into the trash can.

She thought to herself that if she was Qin Ran, she would have already beaten Qu Zixiao out of impatience.

She didn’t know how Lone Wolf’s temper had developed, but she guessed that it had never been much better.

“You’re not worth it.” He Chen glared lightly at him. “I’ll send you the divorce agreement later.”

Upon hearing the word divorce, Qu Zixiao’s mood improved a lot, and he took a deep look at her. “I hope so.”

He turned around and went straight downstairs.

In the room, He Chen stared at his back as he left.

They had agreed to get a divorce twice, but both times, it had been scared off by Madam Qu’s sudden heart attack.

Madam Qu treated her very well, so she was indeed afraid of her condition.

Thinking of this, she took out her phone and sent a text message to Qin Ran: [How is your heart surgery department?]

On the other end, Qin Ran had already gotten off the plane and arrived at Mu Nan’s hospital. She wasn’t quite sure about what she meant, so she asked Cheng Jin instead, “How’s your boss’s heart surgery?”

Cheng Jin also received the news that Mu Nan had turned the crisis into peace. He smiled and said, “If he claims to be the second-best, nobody would dare to take first place.”

Nodding, Qin Ran put her hat on her head and slowly sent his original words to He Chen.

Only then did she continue moving forward.

Having received this good news, He Chen smiled and sent another message—

[Okay, I’ll send you the case later.]

Then, she directly went downstairs.

At the dining table, Madam Qu gave He Chen a bowl of soup. “Xiao Chen, are you going on a business trip again? What’s a girl working so hard for? Your boss shouldn’t have let you be a war reporter from the beginning, and even let you go on business trips so often!”

“Mom, I’m okay.” He Chen smiled and gave her a piece of vegetable. Madam Qu’s heart was weak and she couldn’t eat greasy food. “I heard from the butler that you’ve been in poor health recently. I’ll accompany you to a checkup two days later.”

“Oh, if it weren’t for some bad son, I would be in very good health.” Madam Qu sneered at Qu Zixiao and then gave He Chen a piece of meat. “Xiao Chen, eat more.”

After watching her finish the meat, Madam Qu looked indifferently at Qu Zixiao. “Do you have an auction tomorrow night? Take Xiao Chen along.”

Qu Zixiao frowned and glanced at He Chen. In the past, He Chen always rejected, with the excuse of working overtime.

Unexpectedly, she remained silent and just lowered her head to drink soup. His eyes became obscure as he couldn’t guess what she was thinking. “Okay, mom.”

As soon as he finished speaking, He Chen raised her head slowly. “Mom, I have a press conference tomorrow. I don’t have time.”

Madam Qu immediately spoke gently, “Okay, you attend to your affairs, then. Don’t tire yourself out.”

After dinner, He Chen said she had to do overtime work and went upstairs.

Madam Qu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and looked coldly at Qu Zixiao. “Follow me upstairs.”

…

Upstairs in Madam Qu’s room.

Bam—

She threw a newspaper on the table and stared sternly at Qu Zixiao. “What happened!”

The newspaper showed his headline with Song Qingqing.

“Mom, she’s just my junior at school. She used to study criminal investigation, and she just entered the entertainment industry. We just happened to meet in a hotel.” Qu Zixiao pressed his temple, his head aching. “Did He Chen…”

“No, she didn’t tell me anything! Qu Zixiao, you’re a man. You should cleanse yourself when you get married, not have these unspeakable scandals!” Madam Qu naturally knew her son and trusted his character enough to know that the reports weren’t real.

She just scolded him and said angrily, “What’s wrong with Xiao Chen? She was admitted to University S’s photography department and even studied abroad. Her character is good and she’s also good-looking. What’s so good about that Ouyang Wei? She has already disappeared, but you’re still hung up on her?”

“Okay, mom, don’t be angry…” Qu Zixiao immediately succumbed to Madam Qu and didn’t speak further about Ouyang Wei.

However, he was surprised that He Chen had also studied abroad.

It didn’t bother him for long though.

After a long while, he left to handle business in the company.

Half an hour later, at the black street bar.

Several young masters in Beijing were drinking together.

“Have you heard that the Guan family’s Eldest Master is back? He returned as an elite and is young and promising. Many people in Beijing have their eyes on him. My old dad still used him as an example to scold me for being useless. Sigh. Young Master Qu, it’s a deeply ingrained resentment.” A gentleman with glasses looked at Qu Zixiao and couldn’t help but laugh. “Is it because of the family status again?”

These were all Qu Zixiao’s childhood friends, and their relationship with each other was very good.

“It must be his wife. By the way, what’s your wife’s name? Forget it.” The man with a buzz cut shook his wine cup indifferently. “I don’t know what’s wrong with your mom. She found a girl whose figure, looks, talent, and even family background aren’t as good as…”

Before he finished speaking, the man with a buzz cut was nudged by the people around him. He quickly quieted down and didn’t dare to mention Qu Zixiao’s sore spot.

Qu Zixiao and He Chen had been married for so many years, but he had never once brought her to meet his buddies. From this point, his attitude towards her was obvious.

Qu Zixiao remained silent and continued drinking.

He looked down at his phone and saw a divorce agreement in his mailbox.
