When Chen Zhaodi saw Zhou Hongyu, she instinctively looked away, reacting strongly. Zhou Hongyu glanced at her and then turned her head away indifferently.

Some people followed Zhou Hongyu and rose to prominence, achieving financial freedom, while others missed such a rare opportunity. Chen Zhaodi was one of the latter.

The year Chen Zhaodi was promoted to district agent, she made a major mistake at work, causing great losses.

Zhou Hongyu stated that the outcome would be the same regardless of who handled the matter.

Chen Zhaodi was dismissed from her post.

Out of consideration for her status as a veteran employee, Zhou Hongyu gave Chen Zhaodi one last chance, assigning her to another store with mediocre performance. Everyone thought that with Chen Zhaodi's abilities, she could very well make it big again; it was just a matter of time.

It wasn't until a series of events occurred that everyone belatedly realized that Chen Zhaodi had become obsessed with something from that point on.

In short, Chen Zhaodi has now left her job to start her own business, and some of her partners are relatives of the Chen family.

Their lives are neither too good nor too bad; they have enough to eat and drink, but it's difficult to achieve greater development.

Because Chen's relatives were always unreliable, Chen Zhaodi was alone and often felt powerless. There were frequent quarrels in the business. She not only had to be busy developing the business, but also had to take time to take care of the rear, which caused her resentment towards Zhou Hongyu to disappear.

Managing such a large group of affairs is too difficult; she still has a lot to learn from Zhou Hongyu!

Chang Hongbing was pouring water for Old Man Chang to wash his feet when he was startled to see Chen Zhaodi suddenly return.

After graduating, Chang Yaozu was assigned to teach at a vocational school in a neighboring province. He later married a local woman, and they had a son named Enen before the new year. Chang Yaozu had to go on a business trip for a while, and Chen Zhaodi was called over to help.

"Zhao Di, you're back. What about your daughter-in-law and children?"

"Bullshit! Who wants to care about them! If they're born, raise them yourselves!"

Chen Zhaodi looked reluctant to talk about it, not only because the reasons were too embarrassing to mention, but also because Zhou Hongyu was standing not far away.

Chang Hongbing was concerned about his son's family affairs, so he immediately put down the foot bath water and ran over.

He grabbed the impatient Chen Zhaodi: "Zhaodi, you promised before you left that you would look after the house while your son was away. It's only been a few days and you're back. You can't just run back because of a moment of anger..."

"Let go!" Chen Zhaodi roared angrily. Since she started working on her own, her temper had become increasingly volatile, and she couldn't stand anyone.

Chang Hongbing let go of his hand, wiped it, and offered, "Since you're not willing to go, then I'll take your place..."

After Granny Chang's accident, she became mentally unstable. Usually, it was Chang Hongbing and his wife, along with a hired hourly worker, who helped take care of her. At first, Chang Hongbing was worried about her and took early retirement. Later, through an introduction, he went to work as a tutor at a vocational school.

He left, and Chen Zhaodi could handle it, but Chen Zhaodi resolutely refused to agree!

Chen Zhaodi said fiercely, "You're going? No way! You probably want me to stay home and take care of two sick people!"

This implies that Chang Hongbing would be bullied like Granny Chang if he went to his son's house.

Just as Chang Hongbing was about to press for details, Granny Chang heard Chen Zhaodi's voice and came out looking for someone.

"Zhaodi? Zhaodi! Is that you back? Hongbing keeps saying you went back to your parents' house. I really should have given Hongbing a good talking to. You two have only been married a short time, and he's already made you go back to your parents' house..."

Chen Zhaodi immediately ignored the talkative Chang Hongbing and ran over to help her mother-in-law as she came out of the room.

Chen Zhaodi said softly, "Mom, you really should scold him! He never listens to me, and look, he's arguing with me again!"

Granny Chang frowned, and with Chen Zhaodi's help, she walked up to Chang Hongbing and began to scold him harshly.

Chang Hongbing looked gloomy and resigned himself to his fate.

Chen Zhaodi secretly covered her mouth and laughed at his expression, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Zhou Hongyu looked away and called over the nanny, Hongyan, to instruct her: "Now that your sister-in-law is back, you can stay here for the night and go back tomorrow!"

"Okay, Aunt Zhou!"

"I'll take you back to Keqiao first. If anyone asks, just tell them!"

Hongyan nodded.

Perhaps because she was tired from crying all day, she fell asleep soon after getting on the bus in Keqiao on the way back.

Upon arriving at the Ke family home, Ke's father, who was waiting outside the door, immediately perked up when he saw Zhou Hongyu's car. Just as Zhou Hongyu parked the car and was about to wake him up, Ke's father appeared outside the car window and quickly signaled Zhou Hongyu to stop.

Mr. Ke carried his daughter home, and Mrs. Ke was standing by the door with her arms crossed, unnoticed.

Madam Ke threatened coldly, "Zhou Hongyu, look at the good son you've raised! My daughter's suffering is all thanks to him. You tell him for me that from now on, anything related to him is absolutely forbidden from entering the Ke family's gate!"

Upon hearing the devastating news that Chang Rihui had found a girlfriend, Ke Qiao rushed out of the house without a second thought. Mrs. Ke and her husband discovered the message on her computer.

Zhou Hongyu paused, straightened her back, looked over, and assured him, "If my son is wrong, I will absolutely not side with him!"

In other words, if there is a misunderstanding, then we must find out the truth!

Mrs. Ke gave a mocking smile, turned around angrily, and went home.

Zhou Hongyu turned the car around, took a deep breath, and forced herself to drive the car a short distance before stopping it on the side of the road. She then ran to a phone booth to call Chang Xingwang, who was on a business trip.

Zhou Hongyu gave a death order: "Quickly ask your son what's going on! Is he sick? He's still clinging to his old ways while also finding a girlfriend outside! If he's sick, come back. I will definitely not hesitate to turn my own family against him!"

Chang Xingwang: "..."

Chang Rihui: "..."

Chang Rihui, who should have been working abroad, miraculously appeared in China, and coincidentally ran into Chang Xingwang, who was on a business trip in another city.

Chang Xingwang glanced at his second son, Chang Rihui, who frantically waved his hands in refusal. At this moment, he dared not face his furious mother directly.

Chang Xingwang reassured him over the phone, "Okay, I'll find out about this from him, you don't need to worry about it!"

Zhou Hongyu spat and angrily hung up the phone, while Chang Xingwang frowned uncomfortably.

During the months he was away on business, Zhou Hongyu rarely called. This precious phone call was wasted on that brat's mess.

Chang Xingwang questioned Chang Rihui: "You're not going to talk about it anymore? If you're not going to talk about it, then go and make things clear with the girl!"

Facing his father, whom he had always feared, Chang Rihui mustered boundless courage and shouted, "No! Let's talk! I will only marry Ke Qiao in the future!"

Chang Xingwang threw a look at him: "Then what's the point of all this commotion? Just trying to get the girl's attention?"

Chang Rihui remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
