When the three little ones emerged from the room, they had completely transformed into three adorable white dumplings.
Each one was beaming with joy, clutching a bottle of baby cream as if it were a precious treasure.
Their lips were also much fuller, plump and juicy, looking incredibly cute, as if Jiang Mingyu had applied lipstick to them.
They were wearing new cotton-padded jackets that she had taken from her spatial storage, fitting them perfectly, making them look like adorable lucky dolls.
Huo Mingfeng’s eyes lit up.
Were these still his three mud dolls? They looked
as new as newly opened watches!
Now, it was their turn to give Huo Mingfeng a disapproving look, turning to Jiang Mingyu and saying, “Mom, what kind of taste do you have? You actually fell for my dad?”
Huo Mingfeng: “…”
It was clear that the children genuinely liked Jiang Mingyu.
The way she looked at them was also genuinely loving.
His heart softened, and Huo Mingfeng took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out fifty yuan and gave it to her: “It’s not much, take it.”
These clothes looked very expensive,
something poor children couldn’t afford.
Jiang Mingyu didn’t refuse, took the money, and smiled, “It’s almost eight o’clock, you should change your clothes too, let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
“I have one too?”
Huo Mingfeng asked in surprise.
Suddenly, Jiang Mingyu leaned forward, her clear, lake-like eyes scrutinizing him. After a moment, she shook her head, “Your hair is too long, let me cut it for you.”
Huh?
Huo Mingfeng pursed his lips, not daring to move, letting that jade-like hand lead him into the house for a haircut and then a change of clothes.
He didn’t move, simply because this woman’s skin was very sensitive; even a light touch left a red mark.
Three little kids were perched by the window, their eyes sparkling as they watched them, whispering excitedly.
Jiang Mingyu took out a mirror and placed it in front of him: “Take a look? Do you like it?”
Before the haircut, Huo Mingfeng’s hair reached his earlobes, flowing and dashing, somewhat resembling the gangster Chen Haonan.
After the haircut, the buzz cut accentuated his well-defined features, turning his already seven points of handsomeness into ten.
The hidden sliver of his charm was all in his eyes and brows.
But Huo Mingfeng stared at the person in the mirror with a strange expression.
“It looks good…”
He hesitated, tugging at his white shirt and suit pants,
“but this is the first time I’ve ever worn this, I’m not used to it.”
As the head of the security department, he was used to wearing a police uniform all year round, or driving for Boss Su, running back and forth between the railway bureau and the commerce bureau.
He was used to wearing rough clothes, and when had he ever worn such exquisite and comfortable clothes?
It was only when he looked up that Huo Mingfeng noticed that Jiang Mingyu was also wearing a white shirt.
Her shoulder-length black hair was tied up low, and small white pearls dangled from her earlobes. Her
face was bare, but with just a light touch of eyebrow makeup and lipstick, she was incredibly beautiful.
She brushed a stray hair behind her ear and smiled gently. “Let’s go, take a picture in this outfit, it suits us.”
The woman’s sweet breath made his lower abdomen tighten. He quickly coughed and pointed to the three little ones outside: “Are they coming too?”
“Hmm? Let’s take a family photo~”
In her previous life, Jiang Mingyu had few family ties and had never experienced the warmth of a family. She had countless fair-weather friends, but they were all after her inheritance and money.
Now that she was building a family relationship herself, she felt a bit more enthusiastic.
“Yay! Yay! We have a mommy now~”
The three little ones followed behind them, making a lot of noise.
On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, many people cast surprised glances at them.
Fortunately, Huo Mingfeng was aloof. One glance from him was enough to make people look away with his overwhelming power, and Jiang Mingyu felt much more at ease.
There were already people waiting for her at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
However, it wasn’t just Qian Youde, but also a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked indifferent.
He wore a red shirt with gold buttons, a dark blue wool vest, brown trousers, and crocodile-toed boots, dressed impeccably. His hair was slicked back, and he wore an expensive gold watch on his wrist, a black leather wallet tucked under his arm.
He did resemble Su Hongmei somewhat, but his eyes were sharper.
His gaze fell on Jiang Mingyu, a forced smile on his face: “Miss Jiang injured my daughter. How do you plan to handle this?”
So this was Boss Su.
Qian Youde immediately stepped forward, her face still bearing the slap mark from Jiang Mingyu.
“Here, this is Hongmei’s injury assessment. You’ll be paying compensation!”
A piece of paper was handed to her.
Only a few hours had passed, and the other party had already completed the injury assessment?
But before she could speak, Huo Mingfeng calmly stepped forward, took the injury assessment, glanced at it, and looked up at Boss Su: “Medical expenses, compensation, one thousand yuan?”
This was no small sum.
Huo Mingfeng only earned about one thousand yuan a year.
Boss Su, enraged, laughed coldly. “My daughter’s reputation is worth far more than a thousand yuan.”
A tense atmosphere filled the air.
Suddenly, a soft, sweet voice rang out.
The eldest child said, “Mom, is this man trying to scam me? He’s asking for an outrageous thousand yuan!”
The second child replied, “Brother, you’re wrong. This isn’t scamming; this is ‘selling one’s daughter for personal gain,’ that’s what they say in plays!”
Sanya: “Ugh… his daughter is so pitiful, sold off by her father.”
Boss Su immediately turned gloomy, staring at them.
But Jiang Mingyu calmly blocked her way, a half-smile on her face: “Boss Su, I’ve already given up the position of Mrs. Qian to your daughter, isn’t this compensation enough?”
“If it’s not enough, then how do you, my son-in-law Qian Youde, plan to compensate me for my losses over the past five years—emotions, youth, money, time—one by one?”
Huo Mingfeng directly slapped the injury assessment report into his arms.
“Boss Su, if it’s a fair and impartial injury assessment, we will naturally compensate you, but this…”
He glanced at it, “Let’s just forget about it!”
“Huo Mingfeng, are you trying to go against me?”
Boss Su’s eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly not believing he would protect a woman.
Jiang Mingyu glanced at the clock at the Civil Affairs Bureau, then turned her head: “Qian Youde, it’s eight o’clock. If you don’t get a divorce, I’m going back to your house to sleep.”
“Divorce! Of course, divorce!”
He couldn’t wait to get a divorce.
Now that Hongmei likes him so much and is pregnant, he’s got his hands on the position of Boss Su’s son-in-law!
“Dad, I’ll go get a divorce first, then I’ll come home to be with Hongmei right away!”
Qian Youde said with a fawning smile, turning back to Boss Su before hurriedly pulling Jiang Mingyu into the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
The moment he received the divorce certificate, he looked at Jiang Mingyu with a cold smile: “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, you’d better pay that thousand yuan compensation if you can, otherwise, you can forget about staying in this town or county for the rest of your life!”
“Heh, then I’ll wait and see.”
Jiang Mingyu looked at him. This pretty boy with his slicked-back hair was actually the type the original owner liked?
She couldn’t help but feel sorry for and laugh at this woman with the same name.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Qian Youde sneered.
Jiang Mingyu shook her head: “Nothing, from now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”
“Qian Youde, our lives will never intersect again.”
“Just consider the old Jiang Mingyu dead.”
This cold demeanor was completely unfamiliar to Qian Youde.
He was actually somewhat tempted!
But quickly, Qian Youde gritted his teeth, glared at her fiercely, and said, “Don’t worry, a good horse doesn’t turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. Don’t think I’ll come back to you!”
With that, he left without a second thought.
At this moment, Huo Mingfeng also came in.
Seeing Jiang Mingyu, he smiled slightly,
“Boss Su is gone, let’s go register.”
