Chapter 422 Investigating Zhuang Bo
Chapter 422 Investigating Zhuang Bo
next day
News of Ye Wushen's arrest came from both Jin Anmu and the police.
Good news also came from Hao Hao's side: the surgery was a success, and all the toxins in Hao Hao's body were cleared.
Mo Tingye quickly fulfilled his promise to Xiao Dingqian, investing 500 million yuan in his research institute.
Hao Hao was also discharged from the hospital and returned to the old house.
Minimally invasive surgery can be performed without hospitalization.
Mu Qianqian got up, washed up, changed into comfortable casual clothes, and went downstairs.
Downstairs in the living room, Luo Yazhi was discussing something with Lan Xinmei.
“Mother-in-law, after this incident with my grandson, I’ve realized that nannies hired from outside are unreliable. Why don’t we bring them back to our home? Our servants are very loyal and have been with us for many years. With them and me taking care of Hao Hao, I feel more at ease.”
"Mother-in-law, are you implying that the servants of our Mo family are unreliable? My grandson still needs his maternal grandparents' care?"
Lan Xinmei's face darkened.
“That’s not what I meant, Mother-in-law. I’m worried that my grandson is so young and shouldn’t be subjected to any more hardship. I’m thinking that his safety is the most important thing.”
Luo Yazhi's face didn't look good either.
She was wholeheartedly thinking about her daughter and grandson.
My daughter and the others are not safe staying with the Mo family.
"Don't worry, we will strictly vet the background of the nanny and will not let this happen again. Hao Hao is also my grandson, and I love him more than anyone else."
"Then let's do this: send my personal maid, Xue Lian, to the Mo family so that she can take care of Hao Hao full-time."
Luo Yazhi compromised.
"how old?"
Lan Xinmei had a reason for asking that question.
She wouldn't want a young and beautiful maid.
Her eldest and second sons were both young and handsome, with noble bearing and excellent family backgrounds. If a young and beautiful maid came, and she had any improper thoughts, the Mo family would be thrown into chaos again. She didn't want to see that happen.
"In her twenties, she is beautiful."
After Luo Yazhi finished answering, the first person to object was not Lan Xinmei, but Zhuang Bo.
“No, I’m used to Xue Lian serving me. I can’t let her come to my in-laws’ house. Besides, she has no experience in raising children.”
Luo Yazhi didn't react much to Zhuang Bo's words.
Lan Xinmei frowned.
Judging from what my in-laws said, this maid…
Her intuition told her that her in-laws and this maid must have some kind of illicit relationship.
But it wasn't convenient for her to remind Luo Yazhi.
Mu Qianqian frowned as she stood on the stairs.
She also sensed that her sister-in-law's father and the maid named Xue Lian had an abnormal relationship.
“Old man, although Xue Lian has no experience in childcare, she is smart and loyal. We can let her learn from the other nannies in your family.”
Luo Yazhi remained steadfast.
“I said no and that’s final. My grandson is important, but I’m used to Xue Lian taking care of us.”
Zhuang Bo noticed Lan Xinmei's frown and immediately realized that his attitude was abnormal. He deliberately added the word "we" instead of "I".
Zhuang Ziyan and Mo Tingfeng carried Hao Hao out of the bedroom and walked to the stairwell, where they also heard her father's words.
She and Mu Qianqian exchanged a glance.
"Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you. Let's go to your bedroom and talk."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Mu Qianqian knew that Zhuang Ziyan also had doubts about the relationship between her father and Xue Lian.
The two women went to Mu Qianqian's bedroom.
Mo Tingfeng carried Hao Hao downstairs.
"Dad, Mom, stop arguing. I will take care of Hao Hao myself. We won't hire a nanny. Once Zi Yan goes to work, I will stay home and take care of Hao Hao."
Mo Tingfeng told his parents-in-law.
"That won't do. You still need to work for the Mo Group."
Zhuang Bo was the first to object.
With such an outstanding son-in-law, how can he stay at home as a full-time stay-at-home dad?
Wouldn't that be handing the Mo Group over to Mo Tingye?
He still wanted to rely on his son-in-law to continue living a luxurious life.
“Dad, I’m only taking care of Hao Hao for now. I’ll go back to the company when he’s a little older.”
"That's pretty much it."
"Haohao is my most precious baby. I stay at home to take care of him willingly. I don't want anything to happen to him again, so I feel at ease taking care of him myself."
After experiencing his son being poisoned, Mo Tingfeng became extremely worried about his son's safety.
This decision was made after discussing it with his wife, Zhuang Ziyan.
"Then it's decided. Tingye will stay home to take care of Haohao for the time being. Your maid Xuelian is young and beautiful. I'm worried that if she comes to our house, she might have some wicked ideas and try to seduce the eldest or second eldest son, trying to use her body to climb the social ladder and cause chaos in the Mo family. That would be bad."
Lan Xinmei's words were ambiguous, alluding to Luo Yazhi.
Remind her to be mindful of her husband's relationship with Xue Lian.
"No, Xue Lian is always very proper when she faces Zhuang Bo every day, and she never crosses the line."
Luo Yazhi didn't know if she trusted her husband too much or believed in Xue Lian too much; her face was full of disbelief.
"Xuelian is kind-hearted, honest, and devoted. She wouldn't do the kind of thing you described, my dear in-law. I know her very well."
Zhuang Bo blurted it out.
After saying that, he coughed lightly with an embarrassed expression, picked up his teacup, and took a few sips.
Their eyes darted away when they looked at Luo Yazhi.
Lan Xinmei looked at the carefree Luo Yazhi, hesitating to speak.
Mo Tingfeng also sensed something unusual from his father-in-law's words.
He and his mother, Lan Xinmei, exchanged a glance.
Both of them had complicated expressions.
Mu Qianqian's bedroom upstairs
As soon as Zhuang Ziyan entered, she got straight to the point.
"Sister-in-law, have you also sensed something unusual about the relationship between my father and Xue Lian?"
"Yes, judging from Uncle's words and reaction, there is a problem between them. We are all legal professionals and have seen too many cases of mistresses taking over. Sister-in-law, you should have noticed it too."
"No, I need to investigate this matter. I can't let my mother be kept in the dark and bullied. I'm going to kick Xue Lian out of the family estate."
"Sister-in-law, we only have suspicions at the moment, no evidence. Taking action rashly would be counterproductive."
Mu Qianqian advised.
After all, it was just their suspicion.
"Then what do you suggest? Sister-in-law, I believe you. My mother raised me with great difficulty, and I can't let my father deceive my mother."
"Here's what we'll do. Find a chance to go home, and I'll give you a few hidden cameras. You can secretly install them in secluded corners. If your dad really has an ambiguous relationship with that Xue Lian, it will definitely be filmed. Then I'll have my private investigator investigate Xue Lian's background and the people she associates with. What's her name?"
"Calling her Wu Xuelian is a good idea."
Zhuang Ziyan's eyes lit up.
"I want to ask you first, sister-in-law, if your father really did have an affair with Wu Xuelian, do you want him to continue living with your mother, or do you want a divorce?"
"Of course, we'll get a divorce. If he really cheated on me, my mom wouldn't tolerate it. She's very likely to be completely fooled by the two of them and not notice anything amiss at all."
"Since it's a divorce, let a private investigator collect the evidence. You're the judge, so you naturally know what kind of evidence is needed to ensure Aunt Luo gets the best possible outcome."
"Okay, I know. Give me the hidden camera, and I'll find an excuse to go home in a bit. I'll also leave the private investigator to you, sister-in-law."
"it is good."
"Then I'm going downstairs. I hope my dad and that Xue Lian are okay."
"Ah."
Mu Qianqian took out several miniature cameras from the bedroom cabinet and handed them to Zhuang Ziyan, then sent a message to the private investigator.
Ten minutes later, the two of them came downstairs.
