At this time, a group of Senior Executives came down from the upper floors. When they heard about the commotion, they all headed to the Finance Department. Among them, was the handsome Chairman of the company. He was extremely shocked by the scene in front of him.

His wife, daughter, and former lover—the three people closest to him, and the same three people who should not be together at all—were now together, and even surrounded by a group of police officers.

While the Chairman stood there, speechless, Li Xiaomin and the middle-aged woman’s eyes lit up when they saw him.

Li Xiaomin immediately burst into tears and ran over, “Dad, help me, they are going to take me away.”

The Chairman had no choice but to pat her shoulder to comfort her. He looked at the police and said doubtfully, “Hello, comrade police, what did my daughter do that warrants her arrest?”

The policeman glanced at Li Xiaomin and explained truthfully, “This lady reported that this young lady was involved in the embezzlement of company funds and money laundering.”

Chairman: “???”

The group of Senior Executives: “???????”

“Why did the Chairman’s daughter embezzle company funds?”

“This must be a joke.”

The Chairman’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe this at all, and he more so couldn’t believe that it was his own wife who reported it. He could only turn his head to look at Warm Up Wine and Make Tea; he opened his mouth and said with difficulty, “Honey, what’s going on?”

He knew that his wife had been having a bad relationship with their daughter in recent times, but he didn’t expect it to be so bad that the police would come knocking on the door. But he also knew his wife’s character, and she wouldn’t make something out of nothing. His daughter might really have taken the company’s money!

He thought about it and patted his daughter on the shoulder again, feeling puzzled, “Why would you do this with the company’s money? If you want money, just ask me.”

Li Xiaomin burst into tears and kept choking, she started acting coquettishly, “The money given to me by the family was too little. I accidentally took a little.”

Her family was relatively frugal  compared to other wealthy families. In order to prevent their children from developing bad habits, her parents didn’t give much money to them, so she was forced to do this.

“Haha, is it really just carelessness?” Warm Up Wine and Make Tea sneered, “It was obvious that someone instigated you into doing it.”

When the Chairman heard this, he became furious. “Don’t be afraid, tell me who instigated you, and I will have that person arrested!”

That’s right. How could his daughter do such a stupid thing? Someone must have instigated her to do this!

Li Xiaomin didn’t know what to do, so she quietly glanced at her birth mother, hoping that she could help her. She was, after all, her daughter.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the middle-aged woman quickly waved her hand, “This is none of my business, I don’t know anything.”

Li Xiaomin’s face suddenly turned cold, and the middle-aged woman turned her face away, feeling guilty. She would not support this useless daughter. She did love her, of course, but this love was inherently mixed with a lot of selfish intentions, and she had never raised her for a day after all, so it was difficult to feel a strong maternal love for her.

Li Xiaomin was instantly heartbroken, her eyes wandering between the two mothers, and she suddenly felt abandoned by the whole world. But when she thought about it, this was only right—how could a mother, who could bear to do such a thing as exchange her daughter for someone else, truly love her child?

The moment she was handcuffed, Li Xiaomin glanced at the indifferent face of Warm Up Wine and Make Tea was in a daze for a moment. How wonderful it would be if I were really her child…

Under everyone’s eyes, the emotional Li Xiaomin and the middle-aged woman were taken away by the police for investigation.

But Warm Up Wine and Make Tea did not turn off the livestream and followed her husband back to his office.

The Chairman slapped the table hard, “That nanny is really evil. She dared to bewitch Xiaomin. She’s crazy. She’s just crazy.”

Upon seeing his wrathful appearance, Warm Up Wine and Make Tea vaguely guessed something in her heart. She took a deep breath and decided to give her husband of more than twenty years one last chance.

“Do you know why she bewitched Xiaomin?”

It seemed that her husband did not know the whole truth of the matter.

If he confessed his affair with the nanny, it meant that he really treated her wholeheartedly as he promised—then she might let him go.

The Chairman was about to say that he didn’t know, but he felt a little guilty and lowered his head. “I don’t know, maybe she is strange in the head, so she wanted to mess up our family.”

God knew how surprised he was to find out that his former lover had come to work as a nanny at his house. But he didn’t dare tell anyone about it, including his wife. If she knew that his former lover had walked into their house openly, she would definitely be angry to death.

“Lie!” Warm Up Wine and Make Tea was completely disappointed with the man in front of her and almost screamed in rage. “You once slept with her, and now you tell me you don’t know who she is!”

The Chairman was shocked when he heard this. “You– how do you know this?”

“I know more than that. I also know that she has a child with you.”

“What?” The chairman was frightened and felt something was wrong. He quickly came over and said, “Honey, I really don’t know about this. If there is one, it’s an illegitimate child. I won’t acknowledge it.”

In his heart, Warm Up Wine and Make Tea was the most important—even their children need to take a step back, let alone any illegitimate child.

He thought of the illegitimate child who should not have been born, and a hint of danger flashed in his eyes. No, he had given her a sum of money to get rid of the illegitimate child as soon as possible, as well as to get out of his life.

“Ah, but you have already acknowledged her for more than twenty years.”
