The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 172 Confused
Knowing that Lu Mingyuan and Xu Huaqing had divorced, and also knowing that Lu Mingyuan had exposed the entire list of their undercover agents to Hua Dongchen for the sake of Hua Wanrou, his "white moonlight," Lin Chen felt genuinely sorry for Xu Huaqing and her mother.

Although it ultimately ended in divorce, at least her mother was emotionally freed and no longer had to deliberately try to please a man who didn't love her.

But isn't this orange blossom shower gel proof that Xu Huaqing still has Lu Mingyuan in her heart?

"Are you sleepy?" Lin Chen kissed her forehead. "It's late, why don't you go to sleep?"

Lying together in bed, Lu Siqi lay on her back in Lin Chen's arms, her eyes closed but unable to fall asleep.

Lin Chen noticed her unusual behavior and reached out to rub her head: "Say what you have to say, don't always keep it to yourself."

Lu Siqi opened her eyes, her expression obscured in the darkness. "My mom must love my dad very much. The layout and furnishings of this house are all arranged according to the family compound. The toothpaste and toothbrush are the brands my dad usually uses, and the oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar in the kitchen are also the brands my dad usually eats."

She was a little confused: "I was thinking while I was taking a shower just now, was it right or wrong for me to ask my mom to divorce my dad?"

“I always thought my mom was living a life of misery and should be freed from that kind of nanny life as soon as possible. But when I actually helped her get rid of it, I found that she didn’t seem happy at all.”

Turning around and nestled in Lin Chen's arms, Lu Siqi felt a pang of sadness: "Lin Chen, do you think I shouldn't have let my mom divorce my dad?"

"There's no right or wrong when it comes to marriage." Lin Chen thought of how his mother had lived the same life as Xu Huaqing, waiting for her husband to come to the Lin family while pregnant. If it weren't for his third son coming to the Lin family while pregnant, his mother probably would have turned a blind eye and continued living with his father.

But to everyone's surprise, the seemingly frail mother actually took out a knife from the kitchen.

The result was that the mistress miscarried on the spot.

Lin Chen would never forget that scene: his mother, Meng Xianjin, her hands covered in blood, gripping a knife, excitedly telling him, "Son, Mom won't let anyone threaten your position! Whoever dares to take it from you, Mom will fight them to the death!"

Wasn't his mother, Meng Xianjin, just as stubborn?
She thought she loved her husband Lin Weidong enough and felt she deserved to be reciprocated.

The appearance of a mistress was like the collapse of her world.

Xu Huaqing felt the same way. When she learned that the real reason Lu Mingyuan married her was because her name contained the character "Hua," and that she had become a substitute for "Hua Wanrou" to marry into the Lu family, the grievances, anger, sorrow, and humiliation she felt became a deep pain in her heart.

Therefore, divorce is the true relief for Xu Huaqing.

It's better than it developing into something like his mother, Meng Xianjin, going crazy and stabbing people with a knife.

“Siqi, you need to know that you did nothing wrong. Everything you did was for your mother’s good.” Lin Chen hugged Lu Siqi tightly, his face pressed against hers. “Your mother is just used to the old life. Being used to it doesn’t mean she likes it. You need to give her some time to adapt to the new life. Don’t blame yourself. At least in my opinion, you did the right thing.”

"Really?" Lu Siqi looked up, two hot tears already streaming down her face. "My mom really likes her life now?"

Lin Chen countered, "Would you be happy if you had to live with someone who doesn't love you for over 30 years?"

The answer, naturally, is unhappiness.

These words were like a wake-up call. Lu Siqi wiped away her tears, hugged Lin Chen's neck tightly, and pressed her body close to his: "Thank you, Lin Chen."

"I haven't done anything for you, why should you thank me? Besides, given our relationship, don't you think saying thank you is a bit too distant?" That makes sense...

Lu Siqi nuzzled against his neck a few times, then kissed it as if to appease him, "Go to sleep early, we have to get up early for dawn."

……

Actually, Lin Chen got up and left before dawn.

Not wanting to cause Lu Siqi any unnecessary trouble, he got into his car and started it while it was still slightly dark.

The snow was heavy, covering the wheels and making it difficult to start.

After trying to start the car a few times, Lin Chen stepped on the gas and was about to start the car when his phone vibrated. The caller ID was Xiao Mopo, and he guessed it was Na Ti.

After answering the call, I heard Nati say that Hua Yin and others were going to conduct a transaction with a wealthy man from Gangcheng in Xiaomopo.

"Are you sure it's a major investor from Hong Kong?" Lin Chen asked.

“It’s definitely Hong Kong, brother. My men definitely heard me right. This shipment is indeed destined for Hong Kong.”

Who is the sugar daddy?

“Who knows? You’re not one of those people in the underworld. It’s not like the big bosses come forward to take the goods. It’s always the underlings who do it. The real big bosses are hiding in the background.” Nati continued, “This big boss is extremely rich. He spent hundreds of millions on his first investment. This shows that the market in Hong Kong is still very large.”

Lin Chen couldn't listen to what was going to happen next. "Keep investigating. Find out who the mastermind is."

The fact that Hua Yin dared to defy the rules and conduct such a large-scale transaction with a Hong Kong financier is enough to show how stupid he is.

It's estimated that Hua Dongchen doesn't know that his foolish son has started committing crimes against the law for a few hundred million.

After much deliberation, Lin Chen, who had originally intended not to get involved in such matters, couldn't help but dial Nati's number. "Spread the word, preferably let Hua Dongchen know."

“Hua Dongchen isn’t stupid. At this time, he would never dare to risk sending such a large quantity of goods into the country. It must have been that idiot Hua Yin who did it behind his father’s back.”

Nati immediately understood, "Big brother, you mean you want Hua Dongchen to stop this deal, and we don't need to get involved ourselves?"

"First stop them, then lure that big fish in Hong Kong into the trap," Lin Chen said. "If they can't buy such a large quantity of goods, they will definitely contact other suppliers. At that time, you can go and meet that henchman in my place and see if you can get the money out of him about the big boss behind the scenes."

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, brother.” Nati was always loyal.

Since the boss has given the order, they will follow it.
