I didn't expect Qi Yu's visit to the kindergarten to become a hot topic.

The news quickly revealed my identity, and rumors flooded the internet.

Many people said I was Qi Yu's mistress and spread rumors that I secretly gave birth to his child because I couldn't become his wife. They even claimed that I used the child to threaten the Qi family.

This matter quickly reached Qi Madam's ears, and she invited me to meet her privately.

The meeting place was Ming Shui Xiu.

Qi Madam still carried the same air of aristocratic pride as before.

She placed her limited edition LV handbag on the nearby seat and scrutinized me with sharp eyes:

"I remember you, Qi Yu's female assistant. I never expected that you would be the woman Qi Yu has been keeping for five years."

"You secretly gave birth to Qi Yu's child without the knowledge of the Qi family. I won't argue with you. As long as you return the child to the Qi family, you can name your price. The conditions are up to you."

I replied calmly, "I'm sorry, Madam Qi, but I think you'll be disappointed. Even if you give the entire Qi family to me, I won't give you a single strand of the child's hair."

Qi Madam's face immediately turned cold, and she slammed the teacup onto the table.

"Don't push your luck! Who do you think you are? You dare to speak to me like this!"

She looked around, crossing her arms.

"If it weren't for me inviting you to meet here, do you think someone like you, who runs an art studio, could enter such an upscale club?"

She smirked, her tone full of disdain, as she lightly tapped her nail on the teacup.

"With just this teacup, you can't afford it even if you earn money for a lifetime."

"Li Xiang, don't think that just because you have a child, you can disregard anyone."

I took a sip of tea and smiled without saying a word.

At that moment, the supervisor of Ming Shui Xiu hurriedly rushed in. After entering, he nervously greeted me with a forced smile:

"Boss, why didn't you inform us in advance when you came?"

Without looking at Qi Madam's shocked expression, I calmly said to the supervisor, "I'm just meeting a friend, it's nothing. You can go on with your work."

The supervisor immediately nodded, bowed, and left. Before leaving, he instructed the staff to bring some exquisite tea snacks.

Qi Madam stared at me in utter astonishment, "You... what's your relationship with the Huo family?"

I placed the teacup down and replied calmly, "Huo Donglin is my eldest brother."

Qi Madam: "..."
