Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

When Cao Xiaoyu returned from Shanghai, she didn't even put her suitcase at home; she went straight to Jin Yaya's sock factory, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Jin Yuanyuan! Jin Yuanyuan!"

"What?" Jin Yuanyuan appeared behind him carrying milk tea. She had now become the milk tea girl at Jin Yaya Socks Factory, and she would treat everyone to milk tea every day, which would make everyone happy to work overtime.

"The arsonist has been found!" Cao Xiaoyu shouted again, startling Jin Yuanyuan so much that she almost threw away her milk tea.

"You'd never guess who it is!" Cao Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly, looking like he was full of gossip.

"Wait, didn't they say the mosquito killer lamp short-circuited?" Jin Yuanyuan was stunned again.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you this. The fire chief told me quietly that he also suspected arson, but we couldn't make a fuss about it, in case it alerted the arsonist. So, I kept quiet. Now, based on the situation at the scene and the surveillance footage around here, they've found the arsonist."

"Oh, who is it? We can get compensation? There should be compensation for this, right? Let me sort out the renovation accounts..."

"Hey, all you care about is money. Don't you want to know what happened? Why would someone set a fire?"

"That's right, who set the fire? And why?" Jin Yuanyuan finally responded to Cao Xiaoyu's earlier question, and Cao Xiaoyu replied with a smile: "Hu Zongqiang."

"Who is this?" Jin Yuanyuan asked, completely bewildered.

"Hu Liqiu's son."

"No, shouldn't Hu Liqiu's son have the surname Jin? He's a son-in-law of the Jin family, so his child should also have the surname Jin..."

"Hey, finally you've gotten smarter." Cao Xiaoyu laughed again.

After reviewing all the surveillance footage around Jinjia Village, the fire department and police discovered a highly suspicious person and followed the lead. They found that this boy, Hu Zongqiang, had appeared at the scene not just once, but many times, acting hesitantly and seemingly carrying a lighter.

The police went directly to his mother, because the child was a minor and they had to meet with his guardian to understand the situation. However, the child confessed everything as soon as he saw the police.

He originally intended to burn down Jin Jiaya's warehouse, but because Jin Yaya's warehouse looked very similar to Jin Jiaya's warehouse, he couldn't tell them apart. So he found a gap, crawled into the warehouse, and set fire to a cardboard box, which caused the fire.

When the police asked him why he did it, he cried and said, "I can't see my dad, and I miss him so much. He said he's too busy with work to come home often, so I thought I'd just burn his work so he could come back?"

"Who is your father?" the police officer asked curiously.

"Hu Liqiu." When the child uttered this name, his mother covered his mouth, but what good did it do? The truth was out.

Hu Liqiu is Jin Jia's son-in-law. They have been married for more than ten years and have two children. To outsiders, they seem to be living a very happy life. At least Jin Jia's hosiery factory is doing very well, Jin Jia's parents have retired and are taking care of their grandchildren at home, and Jin Jia is just living the life of a wealthy lady, dressing up every day to show off her happiness.

But in reality, Hu Liqiu already had another woman outside the marriage, and they had even had a son who could bear his surname. This was very important to him.

But because he had to take care of the sock factory, follow Jin Jia around, and do things for his parents-in-law, he was so busy that he could only see his son once or twice a month.

The son, Hu Zongqiang, was still young and didn't quite understand his father's situation. He just thought that if he was too busy with work, he could burn the notebook, just like how you could say your homework was burned if you couldn't finish it. So, he secretly sneaked into the Jinjiacun Economic and Technological Development Zone several times, lingering near the Jinjiaya Socks Factory, thinking about how to burn it.

In the end, he thought the warehouse would be easier to burn. But in his nervousness, he went to the wrong warehouse and burned down Jin Yaya's warehouse.

Afterwards, he was very scared, but he didn't tell anyone and continued to go to and from school. At the end of the semester, the teacher wanted to organize a year-end party for parents and children, hoping that all the students' parents would attend. However, Hu Zongqiang could only have his mother come; his father was nowhere to be found.

He hated it, but there was nothing he could do.

After the police found him and learned about the situation, the fact that Hu Liqiu was an illegitimate child was also exposed.

"I have a good relationship with the fire department, so they notified me immediately. Now, I guess they've also told Hu Liqiu, or maybe they'll even tell Hu Liqiu to go to the police station." Cao Xiaoyu was genuinely quite happy.

"Let's go too, do we need to sign anything?" Jin Yuanyuan was quite excited, at least she knew the biggest gossip about Jin Jia. Even though they were victims of the fire, it didn't stop them from gossiping.

"Okay, okay, wait for me to put down a box and I'll go." Cao Xiaoyu really seemed to thrive on chaos.

The police station was as busy as ever. Cao Xiaoyu and Jin Yuanyuan sat outside the interrogation room, quietly calculating their compensation claim. Although the losses weren't significant, they had still delayed the construction schedule.

"Let's ask for compensation for emotional distress. That day really scared me," Cao Xiaoyu asked.

Jin Yuanyuan suppressed a laugh, "I think it's a good idea."

As the two were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the police station. Several people were pulling and tugging as they walked in. The man being pulled was Hu Liqiu.

"Report it! It's a scam!" someone shouted, and others echoed.

Jin Yuanyuan and Cao Xiaoyu immediately stood up and looked at the group of people.

"Hu Liqiu tricked us into buying funds, and now we've lost everything! We're going to report this to the police!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Sister Chen, what's wrong?" Cao Xiaoyu recognized one of them and went over to ask.

The middle-aged woman, her face contorted with anger, shouted, "Hu Liqiu said he had a friend who could make a fortune investing in funds. So we followed his advice and invested millions, and now we've lost it all, not a single penny left! What a liar!"

The commotion in the lobby reached the mother and son in the interrogation room. The child rushed out, saw his father being twisted by the crowd, jumped up, and shouted, "What are you doing? Let him go!"

"Hu Zongqiang!" His mother rushed out and grabbed him, but the boy, his face flushed, cried out, "Is he my father? Why does he have other women? Why doesn't he want us?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard what the child said. After all, everyone knew that Hu Liqiu was Jin Jia’s son-in-law and had two children with Jin Jia. What was the situation with this boy?

The crowd loved gossip, and everyone pricked up their ears and stared intently at the child.
