As soon as Madam Qu saw Chen Meng’er, she was overjoyed. She wanted nothing more than to hold Chen Meng’er in her hands and dote on her.

“Grandma, there’s no need. Just a few dishes will be enough. I’m not picky,” Chen Meng’er said coquettishly to Madam Qu.

“Still not picky? Look at your face, it’s so thin,” Madam Qu looked at Chen Meng’er’s face and said with heartache. Madam Qu still felt that it was better for a girl to be chubby. Of course, she had to admit that this precious granddaughter of hers was really very beautiful.

For this, Madam Qu was quite proud in her heart. If she didn’t know that Chen Meng’er’s identity was relatively special and that Chen Meng’er didn’t like to be in the limelight, she would probably think of bringing Chen Meng’er with her wherever she went.

“Grandma, what kind of judgment is this? How many people want a face like Meng’er’s now, and you actually think that Meng’er’s face is small?” Qu Haoxiang rushed back after receiving the news that his sister had returned, hearing his grandmother’s words, he could not help but defend his sister. “I just feel that this is just right for my sister. Right, Sis?” Qu Haoxiang smiled and said to Chen Meng’er.

“You brat, the moment you come back, you are going against your grandmother.” Madam Qu knocked Qu Haoxiang on the head.

Qu Haoxiang immediately revealed a grimacing expression.

“Alright, stop. It’s too much. Your grandmother is already so old, I don’t have such strength.” Madam Qu could not do anything to her mischievous little grandson. “Alright, I won’t play with you guys anymore. I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look. Oh right, Meng’er, your grandfather is waiting for you in the study.”

“Alright, then Grandma, I’ll go look for Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er was here to look for Elder Qu today. “Do you want to come along?” Chen Meng’er deliberately turned her head to ask Qu Haoxiang.

When Qu Haoxiang heard that she was going to see their grandfather, he hurriedly shook his head. “I’ll wait for you outside.” Asking him to see his grandfather was asking him to get scolded.

His grandfather, Elder Qu, would only be amiable when he saw his precious granddaughter, Chen Meng’er. And every time he saw his grandchildren, he would either give them a lecture or give them political thought lessons. This made the few of them avoid him.

“Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er knocked on the door, opened it, and walked in.

The moment she walked in, Chen Meng’er smelled a thick smoke. Even if Elder Qu deliberately left the window open and let the wind in, Chen Meng’er could still smell the smoke. “Grandpa, did you smoke?”

“Girl, you smelled it. I only smoked one cigarette, just one.” Elder Qu was only afraid of his wife and his granddaughter, Chen Meng’er.

“Grandpa, didn’t I tell you before that you are not allowed to smoke? Why are you so disobedient?” Chen Meng’er said disapprovingly.

“I also have something on my mind. I’m so depressed that I only smoked one cigarette. I usually don’t smoke. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your grandmother,” Elder Qu quickly explained.

“Grandpa, I’ll let it go this time. It must not happen again.” Chen Meng’er didn’t fall for Elder Qu’s trick.

“Definitely!” Elder Qu quickly replied.

“Grandpa, you’re worried about the Lu family’s matter, right?” Chen Meng’er asked directly.

“Yes. I just received news that someone is helping the Lu family to operate in the dark. The Lu family might be fine this time,” Elder Qu frowned and said with a worried expression.

This time, if Elder Lu and the others were acquitted and if the Lu family could continue to live unscrupulously in the capital, then the Qu family would not have an easy time.

This time, the Qu family and the Lu family had completely shed all pretense of cordiality.

The Qu family and the Lu family were opposing each other. At that time, it was really uncertain who would win and who would lose.

“Grandpa, then do you know who is the one who is playing tricks in the middle this time?” Chen Meng’er asked.

“This, I don’t know yet, but I’ve already sent people to investigate. There should be news soon. Why? Girl, what news did you get?” Only then did Elder Qu react.

“Yes, I have some news. The one who helped the Lu family get off the hook behind the scenes is the one on top.” Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Qu and said very seriously.

“You mean, the person at the top?” Elder Qu was also surprised by this news. “Girl, are you sure?”

“Grandpa, do you think I would lie?” Chen Meng’er asked back.

“No, but this news is too surprising. How could it be him?” Elder Qu thought about everyone in his circle, but he didn’t think about the person at the top.

“How could it not be him? Grandpa, think about it. At this time, who has the ability to save the Lu family? Moreover, the Lu family’s matter this time is not small. If it’s not done properly, they will be in trouble,” Chen Meng’er analyzed for Elder Qu.

“But, he doesn’t have the reason to save the Lu family at this juncture?” Elder Qu still could not wrap his head around it.

“It’s at this critical moment that he would save the Lu family. Grandpa, don’t forget that before the Lu family was in trouble, the Lu family had always been his most capable assistant. And this also meant that the Lu family had helped him many times over the years. The Lu family had taken care of a lot of his dirty work.”

“It can’t be him, right?” Elder Qu couldn’t quite accept Chen Meng’er’s words.

“What do you know, Grandpa? Don’t think that everyone is as clean as you. Power is like a drug.” Chen Meng’er had seen it with her own eyes. Many people could even use their own children and abandon them for power. “The one on top is not the one you knew before. Grandpa, I’ll tell you the truth. I came here today to tell you something.”

“Speak.” Elder Qu was hit hard.

“I want to pull him out of this election.”
