Elder Wharton and Marquis Yuwen knew the relationship between the two of them, so they didn’t force the two of them to communicate.
“Grandpa, I need to make a trip to the Qu family. I might not be in the Green Gang for the entire day. If there’s anything important or urgent in the Green Gang, you can help. If it’s not important or urgent, you can just leave and wait for me to come back to handle things.” Everyone heard Chen Meng’er’s voice.
“Alright, girl, I know. If you have something to do, then go and deal with it. I have the Green Gang to deal with. But, girl, what exactly happened to make you rush to the Qu family in such a hurry?” Elder Liu asked curiously.
“It’s related to my big brother, Chen Haoguo’s, matter. His spot in the military academy was snatched by someone. The person who snatched his spot was someone from the Han family,” Chen Meng’er said with a sullen face.
“The Han family is Qu Yaotian’s wife’s family, right? Alright, I got it. You can go.” Although Chen Meng’er didn’t say it in detail, Elder Liu could roughly guess from Chen Meng’er’s words.
“What a coincidence. Just now, Meng’er, you were about to go out,” Yuwen Hou said to Chen Meng’er who was about to go out.
“Grandpa Yuwen, Elder Wharton, I’m sorry. I have something to take care of. I’ll personally cook for you next time to make up for this,” Chen Meng’er said with a serious face.
“Alright, girl, you go and do your own thing. I’m here.” Elder Liu came out to smooth things over. “I say, are you guys free every day? All of you keep coming to the Green Gang. What do you think the Green Gang is? A place to retire?” Elder Liu deliberately widened his eyes and looked at Marquis Yuwen and Elder Wharton with dissatisfaction.
“Exactly. This place of yours isn’t suitable for you to retire.” Marquis Yuwen and Elder Liu also started to fight after meeting each other for a few sentences.
Chen Ming and Yuwen Jing didn’t expect that it would be so unfortunate. They had just arrived and Chen Meng’er was about to leave.
Yuwen Jing and Chen Ming wanted to open their mouths and say that they wanted to help Chen Meng’er share her worries and shoulder her burden.
However, Chen Meng’er didn’t give them the chance. Chen Meng’er nodded to the two of them as a form of greeting. After that, she brought Su Jin and hurriedly left the Green Gang.

Due to Qu Yaotian’s successful election, Elder Qu had not been to the Green Gang for a few days. He had not seen Chen Meng’er for a few days as well. When he heard his guards running over and telling him that his precious granddaughter was here, he thought that he had misheard.
It was only when he saw Chen Meng’er standing in front of him that he was sure that he did not mishear. “Girl, why are you free today to visit your grandfather?” After seeing his precious granddaughter, Elder Qu was in a particularly good mood.
“Grandpa, I’m not here to visit you today. I have something to do and I came specially to look for you.” Chen Meng’er wanted to smile at Elder Qu. However, whenever she thought about the Han family and Han Ying, her brows furrowed. Even when they knew that Chen Haoguo was her big brother, they used the Qu family’s name to snatch his spot for advanced studies.
“Oh? You have something to tell me? What is it?” At this moment, Elder Qu finally realized that the expression on his precious granddaughter’s face today was not right. It was too serious.
“Grandpa, I came here today to confirm something with you.” Chen Meng’er decided to take a look at Elder Qu’s attitude on this matter first. She wanted to confirm how much the Qu family knew and how much they were involved in this matter.
