Chapter 1305: Chapter 1305: Second Child Matters (5)
What made Song Xiaohua feel relieved was that her dad was on her side.
The next morning, her dad called Uncle Guo over in front of her and handed him the can of opened milk powder from George, asking him to take it to the quality inspection bureau for analysis.
When she came back from school in the afternoon, her dad handed her a report.
Her dad told her that there was no problem with the milk powder formula.
Even though Song Xiaohua couldn’t understand the report, she was sure that her dad wouldn’t lie to her.
As for why her head was so big.
Song Xiaohua sat on the sofa in her dad’s office while Uncle Guo brought out a round mirror from behind. Then she saw her own incredibly ugly big head and was about to ask her dad to look too when Uncle Guo took out another mirror.
A miracle happened in an instant.
Song Xiaohua found that she looked completely different in this round mirror.
Later, she learned from her dad that her uncle had used a funhouse mirror on her.
A mirror designed to make people look ugly.
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, her mom still seemed to have some "opinions" about her.
Song Xiaohua noticed more than once that her mom seemed to sarcastically smirk behind her back. Whether it was her illusion or not, she decided to take the initiative to show goodwill to her mom.
That evening, Tang Li received a gift.
A sunflower cartoon ring.
She found it in the dressing table drawer.
Mixed with other branded necklaces, bracelets, and diamond rings.
No need to guess; Tang Li knew who placed it there.
Song Jingtian, now fourteen years old, looked like a young man after a growth spurt last year. Of course, he wouldn’t play with such childish things anymore; only one child in this house could freely enter and exit the master bedroom.
Being questioned by her daughter about changing her head, Tang Li was only "angry" for two days.
Now receiving a surprise prepared by her daughter, even if it was only worth five cents, was very touching for Tang Li.
At least it showed that Song Xiaohua kept her mom in mind.
Seeing something beautiful, she would secretly buy it and give it to her mom.
The next day, Song Xiaohua saw that sunflower ring on her mom’s hand.
Her mom’s fondness for the ring was undeniable.
Proof: She even peeled an egg personally for her.
Song Xiaohua, wearing her bib and holding her child’s spoon, summarized one insight: A woman must be coaxed!
It wasn’t without reason that her mom listened to her dad so well.
If anyone knew how to handle people’s emotions, it was definitely her dad.
Therefore, he was better at comforting women.
By learning just a little bit, she managed to please her mom.
After all, she and George still needed to continue thriving under her mom’s care. When George grows older, he should also look up to his uncle, starting with "How to Be a Good Husband" and "The Code of Conduct for Men."
Her uncle had said that only by adhering to the code of conduct could one become a promising young person of the new era.
George, of course, would also be a promising young person of the new era.
Song Xiaohua believed that if she asked, her uncle would surely lend those two books to George.
George himself was unaware that he was expected to excel. Right now, he was lying in the crib, staring at the airplane and rocket toys hanging above, finding them novel, and a kick nudged him into a giggle.
Although George’s full moon celebration wasn’t a big affair, he received quite a few gifts.
That day, Tang Li received a call from Yu Sui and handed George over to the nanny before heading to the Tan Palace entrance.
Yu Sui was also there to give a gift.
"This one is from Wu Xuehan."
Last month, Wu Xuehan went to shoot a film in Man City, Siamese, which was still unfinished.
As her manager and life assistant, Yu Sui was supposed to be by Wu Xuehan’s side.
Tang Li took the two gift bags and also noticed Yu Sui’s weariness, clearly from lack of sleep: "Back at dawn?"
"Yeah," Yu Sui replied vaguely.
"Really don’t want to come in and sit for a bit?"
"No need."
Yu Sui fiddled with her bag straps and added, "I still have things to do this afternoon; I need to visit my uncle’s house with my mom."
Emotions can be contagious.
Tang Li vaguely sensed Yu Sui seemed preoccupied and asked, "Xuehan mentioned you returned because of personal matters. Did anything happen at home?"
"...Nothing serious, just my mom missing me a lot."
No matter how close friends may be, it’s still hard to meddle in each other’s family affairs.
Tang Li knew her boundaries in this regard.
What’s more, Mother Yu didn’t particularly like her.
Since Yu Sui wasn’t willing to speak, Tang Li didn’t press further and merely said, "It’s best if it’s nothing serious. If you encounter any unsolvable problems, feel free to call me."
Just then, Yu Sui’s cellphone rang.
It was a call from Mother Yu.
Yu Sui didn’t answer it, nor did she linger any longer.
Later that night, after Tang Li had just fed her son, she received a message from Yu Sui.
[Yu’s Family Only One]: "Seeking advice, my uncle embezzled a large sum of company money to play the stock market, and now the stocks he bought are stuck. He wants my aunt to co-sign to mortgage our three properties to get a bank loan. Do you think my aunt should agree?"
Three properties.
Tang Li saw those words and fell into thought.
If she remembered correctly, Yu Sui’s family also had three properties.
Tang Li quickly typed a response: "If I were your aunt, I would first check your uncle’s accounts to verify if what he says is true."
After that, Yu Sui didn’t send any more messages.
The call from Yu Sui came two days later.
As soon as Tang Li answered, Yu Sui’s questioning voice came through: "Ah Li, do you know any lawyers who specialize in divorce and property division cases?"
At that moment, Tang Li was in the living room.
Hearing Yu Sui’s words, her previous suspicions were partly confirmed.
Tang Li took her cellphone to the balcony and then asked, "Be honest with me, was the embezzler your dad?"
Yu Sui: "..."
On the other end of the line, a ten-second silence was enough to give Tang Li her answer.
Tang Li didn’t hesitate but continued, "If it really is your dad, you’re right to find a lawyer for your mom to divorce him."
That’s the only way to save some of the couple’s joint assets.
Remembering Yu Guofeng’s past actions, Tang Li reminded, "Besides finding a lawyer, you should also check if your dad has someone outside."
"How did you know my dad has a mistress?" Yu Sui’s voice was stuffy.
Tang Li: "Can’t I just guess?"
Yu Sui: "..."
Since Tang Li had guessed it was her dad, Yu Sui didn’t hide it—
"I wanted to check my dad’s accounts, and he couldn’t cover it up, so he confessed. He wasn’t playing stocks but gambled at an underground casino, losing over 30 million in half a year, and now with interest, it’s become 40 million."
"He also forged the company seal. The bank said if 40 million isn’t covered within a week, they’ll call the police and have him arrested."
Her mom wants to sell everything to help her dad pay off the gambling debt together.
Including family relatives saying they can’t leave her dad alone.
Her family’s three properties, according to the Capital’s housing prices, could easily secure a 30 million loan from the bank.
