The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care!

The sweater was a little tight to put on, but when he looked in the mirror, he found that it was just the right size for him so he didn’t bother to choose another one.

He took out another pair of Xu Xinduo’s pants to measure the length against his legs but he put them back. The waistline of Xu Xinduo’s trousers was really a bit too tight and it was not suitable for a boy with a big frame like him.

He went back to his room to find another pair of trousers before going to the bathroom to fix his hair. After Tong Yan was satisfied, he went out with the intention to seduce Xu Xinduo.

But when he walked to the living room, he saw Yin Hua and Tong Yukai staring at him dumbfounded.

No one was in the living room just now, so where did they come from? Were they at the door then? Or did Xu Xinduo go downstairs to invite them in?

Tong Yan coughed lightly and asked, “Why are you here?”

Yin Hua looked at Tong Yan for a while and asked, “You changed your outfit before meeting us?”

“No,” Tong Yan walked over and sat down pretending to be calm, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming? I just got up not long ago.”

Yin Hua looked at Tong Yan but she couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she said, “Oh, we are too busy during the Chinese New Year period and we have no time to see you. This time, we are going to the airport, so we came here to give you some red packets(1) while we were on the way.”

(T/N: The elders/married would usually put some money in red packets and give them to the younger generations/relatives and friends’ kids when going on visits during Chinese New Year)

“How nice of you to even send the red packets all the way here. Happy Chinese New Year to my parents,” Tong Yan immediately stretched out his hand.

Yin Hua took out the red packet from the bag and gave it to Tong Yan before she said at the same time, “I mainly want to see Duoduo.”

“The editor-in-chief Li Liya arranged for Duoduo and Lu Jinyou to cooperate on a shoot together. Did you know about this?” Tong Yan took the red packet and glanced at the card inside before he put it in his pocket and asked.

Yin Hua seemed to already know about this,so she smiled and replied, “I know. If Duoduo wants to be in this circle, she would more or less interact with those people, right?”

“But there’s no need to have direct contact with Lu Jinyou, right? What is the editor-in-chief trying to do?”

Yin Hua glanced at Tong Yukai from her peripheral view and found that his facial expression had darkened. Upon seeing that, she couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

However, Tong Yan asked due to his concern for Xu Xinduo’s safety, so she answered seriously, “I was on the rise at that time, so our relationship could not be made public. Although there were scandals and news reports about it, I never admitted it— even my best friends didn’t know about us being together and just took it as scandalous rumours. Things like these between artists and managers happen from time to time in the entertainment industry, so everyone didn’t give it too much thought either.”

Originally, these matters could have been hidden from Tong Yan. But after that incident occurred, it was impossible for him to remain in the dark about the truth.

“Will Qiao Nian target Duoduo?” Tong Yan continued to ask. He couldn’t let it go that easily in fear of Xu Xinduo being targeted and dragged into this mess that never belonged to her in the first place.
