Wei Zhengye was in the same boat. After staring at the photo for a long while, he eventually felt a chill run down his spine.

If Huo Jinyan ever finds out that we have dirt on him, then…

Wei Zhengye looked up at his wife and two daughters.

When Wei Yuntong saw the look in Wei Zhengye’s eyes, she promptly raised her hand and patted Wei Mengxuan. “Sister, it’s time for your facial.’ Wei Mengxuan glanced at the time. “Ah, yes-yes! I almost forgot.”

She got up and hurried upstairs to her room to apply a facial mask.

Watching her leave, Wei Yuntong sat down and faced Wei Zhengye.

“Don’t be afraid. The truth is probably different from what Sister guessed—the child looks to be five or six years old, and the girl seems to only be seventeen or eighteen years old. How could she have such a child at such a young age? I know Huo Jinyan isn’t a good person, but he’s not a beast. If that was really the case the girl’s family would’ve kicked up a fuss! It’s Huo Jinyan, any bit of dirt the media digs up on him can ruin the Huo family’s reputation.

“Besides, Old Master Huo is very strict and upright. It’s impossible for Huo Jinyan, whom he personally raised, to do something so heinous.” Hearing her say these, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

“Could it be his younger siblings?” Wei Zhengye could not help but guess.

“It can’t be. We’ve all seen the children from the Huo family’s side branch, even Mengxuan has seen them. If that’s really the case, how could she not recognize them and still make such wild guesses?”

Zhao Qi immediately debunked his idea.

Lowering her gaze, Wei Yuntong pondered for a moment. “Wasn’t Huo Jinyan not in the capital for these past few months?”

Wei Zhengye nodded. “Yes, I heard that even Old Master Huo doesn’t know where he went.”

Wei Yuntong agreed. “I think it might have something to do with the time he was away. What do you think, Mom, Dad?”

The two of them only nodded slightly. Then, they looked up at Wei Yuntong in astonishment.

Wei Yuntong was still thinking about something. As she thought about it, she said, “In the end, this matter won’t endanger our family as long as Sister doesn’t leak the photos. I’ll tell Sister.”

The two of them were still frozen in shock.

Puzzled, Wei Yuntong looked at the two of them. “What’s wrong?”

Both of them frantically shook their heads and tried to speak as naturally as possible. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Go ahead.”

However, it was obvious that they were not fine. Wei Yuntong carefully

thought about what she had just said; after a while, she seemed to understand something. Behaving as casually as possible, she got up and walked towards the second floor.

Seeing her disappear at the top of the stairs, Zhao Qi sat beside Wei Zhengye excitedly and clasped his hand. “Zhengye, Yuntong called us Mom and Dad!”

Wei Zhengye also smiled in relief. “Yes!”

The two of them looked at each other and hugged each other happily.

Wei Yuntong stood at the corner, leaning against the wall. When she heard the excited voices downstairs, she could not help but chuckle.

Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi would be taking the afternoon flight; the two of them had woken up early in the morning, leaving the hotel with all their bags.

They took a taxi and headed straight for Mount Ning.

There was a temple on Mount Ning called Huiling Temple, which was known for being very efficacious. Almost everyone who knew the place would go and pay their respects.

She was not superstitious, but Lu Ning still respected these things.

Since she was already here, and there were so many things happening at home, she wanted to go and pay her respects to find some peace of mind. When the two of them arrived, there were already a few cars at the foot of the mountain. Those seemed like they were all here for Huiling Temple.

It was still early and there were not many people, so Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi climbed up the mountain first.

From the foot of the mountain, one could see flights upon flights of stone steps which went straight to the clouds. Most people would walk up, step by step, to show their piety..
