Chapter – 62
A God-Tier Assist from Dad
“But that doesn’t make sense. Wanwan has had mango allergies before, but the reaction was never this severe.” Qiao Le still didn’t believe this was a coincidence. No matter how serious a mango allergy was, it shouldn’t cause breathing difficulties and loss of consciousness.
Huo Zheng looked at Lu Li, who had remained silent the entire time. The darkness in his ink-black eyes made it impossible to read his thoughts.
“Lu Li, what do you think?”
“Keep investigating,” Lu Li said coldly, narrowing his eyes as a glint of chill flashed through them. “Pull up the resort’s surveillance footage. Keep a close watch on the pastry chef and the waiter who took the wrong dessert. Also, send the remaining food from that table for testing.”
If it was just a coincidence, then fine.
But if it wasn’t—
Then he wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.
“But we all ate the same food, and nothing happened to us,” Fu Dong said. They had all tasted the dishes. If there had been poison in the food, why was only Wanwan affected?
Huo Zheng had the same doubt. Everyone at the table ate a fair amount—if the food was problematic, they should’ve all been affected.
Still, better safe than sorry.
“I understand. I’ll continue investigating,” he said.
Back in her room, the more Lu Ziqing thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She kept complaining to Tao Hui over the phone.
“The resort’s opening ceremony would’ve been fine with A-Li and Ziqing attending. You didn’t need to go. Since nothing’s wrong now, why don’t you travel with me for a few days instead?”
After hanging up, Tao Hui dialed Fu Dong’s number. It rang only twice before she hung up herself, her thoughts drifting away.
She absolutely couldn’t allow Mu Wanwan and A-Li to spend too much time alone. If they reconciled, that would be an even bigger headache.
【I’d fall in love with anyone before I ever fall in love with you, Tao Rumò.】
【Hello everyone, my name is Qin Unlucky.】
“Alright, stop crying. I’ll give Fu Dong a call,” Tao Hui said irritably, listening to her daughter sob endlessly.
Lu Ziqing replied reluctantly, “Got it.”
After packing two sets of clothes and pulling out her suitcase, Lu Yuan suddenly walked in.
Having made up her mind, Tao Hui stood up and headed upstairs.
【Whoever marries you is the unlucky one.】
Forget it. She’d better go in person.
Later—
“Didn’t you say you weren’t going? Why did you suddenly change your mind?” Lu Yuan asked.
“I’m going to the resort in Z City,” Tao Hui said honestly, knowing she couldn’t hide it from him.
He asked calmly, “Why are you packing a suitcase? Going on a trip?”
“Fu Yuan is my brother-in-law, and the Jian family has been close friends with us for generations. I thought about it and decided it’d be better to attend their resort’s opening ceremony.”
He glanced at the suitcase by her feet and couldn’t help but admire his son’s foresight. Looks like Ziqing really had gone to complain to Ah Hui.
At the matchmaking event—
When he heard that Miss Tao was going on a blind date, he rushed back to the capital immediately, drove his Bentley there, and sabotaged the meeting—becoming her blind date himself.
“How does Fu Dong know Mu Wanwan?” Tao Hui sounded confused on the phone.
Back when they were young, Qin Chu had sworn boldly that he would rather die than marry Tao Rumò!
“Mu Wanwan’s allergy isn’t my fault. My brother only knows how to protect her. Now Mu Wanwan is even staying in my brother’s room.”
“I’m not sure either, but my cousin seems pretty familiar with Mu Wanwan. They’ve probably known each other for quite a while.”

“Miss Tao, what requirements do you have for your future partner?”
“Mom, my brother went way too far! He yelled at me in front of everyone. Even my cousin didn’t help me—they were all on Mu Wanwan’s side,” she cried.
At the end, Tao Hui reminded her, “Don’t go provoking your brother again today, or he might really send you back.”
A-Li and Fu Dong had always been close. Calling Fu Dong now would only mean he’d side with A-Li.
Tao Hui’s expression darkened as she listened.
Just then, Lu Yuan walked over, took the suitcase from her hand, and set it aside.
Miss Tao replied, “Four requirements. First, he can’t be ugly. Second, he can’t be clingy. Third, he can’t be chauvinistic. Fourth, he can’t be too rich—too much money attracts too many admirers.”
He met the first three conditions. As for the fourth—
Qin Chu pointed outside at the car and lied without even blinking.
“That car belongs to my boss. The man standing next to it is my superior.”
Assistant: ?
For a long time afterward, the assistant lived a life where the big boss kept calling him “boss.”
