Pudding successfully left a bureau director speechless. Without answering the question, Gao Ran took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. "Pudding, would you mind if I have a cigarette?"
Pudding shook her head emotionlessly. She could tell from Gao Ran's grave tone that her parents were in danger. Why else would the director of the city bureau look so worried?
Little Bean, who was playing with Gao Boyuan in the living room, seemed to have detected that something was off. She tilted her head at the balcony. "Why is my sister out on the balcony with Uncle Gao?"
"They're probably talking about stocks. Isn't Pudding a stock market genius? My dad invests as well…" Gao Boyuan's thoughts were simpler.
Little Bean shook her head, worried. "You think so? Her expression looks serious."
