"There are so many people in the No. 1 Department Store, but I've never seen him care about anyone." Sun Qiaoli knew Jiang Fusheng quite well.

Only Qin Xiaoyu understood; she was another foolish woman. She could make solemn vows before meeting the right person, but the moment she clicked, her vows crumbled. Does love even make sense?

Although it hasn't been long, it's clear that something is starting to blossom between Jiang Fusheng and Tang Wenwen, and she doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Without the prior context, these two people would be evenly matched.

"Sister-in-law, when you go home, please take the things I bought for my son with you." Tang Wenwen's sudden words startled Qin Xiaoyu.

Even more astonished than her were Jiang Fusheng and Sun Qiaoli.

"You have a son? How old is he?" Sun Qiaoli asked immediately, curious.

"Not long, just a few months."

"Your husband agreed to let you leave such a young child at home to go out and work?" Sun Qiaoli's mouth was agape as she stared at Jiang Fusheng, practically pointing at Tang Wenming and saying, "Look how ruthless this woman is."

"He's dead," Tang Wenwen replied curtly.

Jiang Fusheng's expression instantly relaxed. Qin Xiaoyu sighed inwardly, another one who wasn't afraid of death.

Dinner was a return favor for the people from the No. 1 Department Store. She was responsible for arranging everything. By the end of the meal, her face was stiff from smiling so much.

Xie Lanhua was getting on in years, and she went straight to bed as soon as she got back to the hotel.

Qin Xiaoyu took a shower and checked the time; it was already 8 p.m. She had originally planned to go to the Jiang family to see her aunt and give her a small gift, but it was getting late and seemed impolite.

As she hesitated, Tang Wenwen and Zhou Yue walked in.

"I was just about to look for you. Are you comfortable staying here?" Qin Xiaoyu pulled Tang Wenwen over.

"Not bad. Auntie has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You can get along with her after a while. It's just that Aunt Chen is a bit troublesome. She looks like an honest person, but she's cunning." Tang Wenwen pouted.

"Then just ignore her. A nanny who has worked for the family for a long time is like family. Don't treat her lightly." Qin Xiaoyu thought to herself, Chen Ma's behavior was actually the barometer. She was the best at understanding her aunt's thoughts, but her aunt was more experienced and didn't show it. Tang Wenwen was still a bit too inexperienced.

Qin Xiaoyu gave the gift she wanted to give to her aunt to Tang Wenwen and told her to go home early.

The three of them are taking an early bus tomorrow, so they won't get more than a few hours of sleep.

"Xiaoyu, look!" Zhou Yue was eating cake by the window when she suddenly noticed something strange and kept waving for Qin Xiaoyu to come over.

The streetlights illuminated the area downstairs, and a man and a woman walked away into the distance. Their backs were clearly visible; they were Tang Wenwen and Jiang Fusheng.

"Sigh." Qin Xiaoyu sighed unconsciously.

"Aren't they a good match? They're a perfect couple, I think it's great. They're both unmarried and around the same age, what's wrong with them dating?" Zhou Yue didn't like hearing that.

"If that's really the case, that would be wonderful," Qin Xiaoyu said with a wry smile. It's true, life is sometimes like taking a bus; whether you're a step ahead or a step behind, you can't always catch the right one.

Just as Zhou Yue said, if Tang Wenwen didn't have Xiao Zichen yet, there wouldn't be any problems with this marriage. But now that Xiao Zichen has been born, there will probably be some twists and turns.

The first thing I did when I got home was to continue working on the problem.

On the train, Qin Xiaoyu had already gotten the truth out of Xie Lanhua: it turned out that Master Zheng was the technician who had dated Director Fei back then.

He lost the competition for factory manager, and being arrogant and proud, he quit his job in a fit of anger and opened his own clothing store.

Later, as his fame grew, he inexplicably faded into obscurity.

“Aunt Xie, whether for public or private reasons, we’re determined to have this person. You ruined your relationship with your daughter, and you have to fix it. Outsiders can’t help with that.” Qin Xiaoyu still needs to address the root cause: the emotional entanglement between the mother and daughter, plus Master Zheng, is the key.

"Xiaoyu, don't make things difficult for me. I'll do anything, except for this daughter. I really can't handle her." Xie Lanhua was overwhelmed with problems as soon as she arrived at Factory Director Fei's place.

"To put it bluntly, Aunt Xie, you're getting old. If one day you're bedridden, who will take care of you?" Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to use strong medicine.

"Little Fish, what you said really hurts." Xie Lanhua wiped away her tears again, it seemed she had thought about this a lot.

“That’s why it’s so painful, that’s why we need to think and take precautions. If we wait until that day to figure out a solution, it will be too late. Go and bring her back. You, as her mother, have never held this daughter in your arms before. Go and hold her now, and maybe you can find a daughter again.” Qin Xiaoyu earnestly advised.

"Is Lao Xie here?" A white head peeked in through the door. Qin Xiaoyu recognized it; it was Da Cui's mother. Her eyesight wasn't good, so she couldn't see the person clearly unless she got very close.

"Why are you here?" Xie Lanhua was still angry. She had just helped her daughter get back to work, but then the girl ran away again.

"Old Xie, you have to help me. I can't control my daughter. Please help me bring her back to work." Aunt Cui wiped away her tears again.

"Stop crying! If you keep crying, you'll go blind!" Xie Lanhua was angry, but she also felt sorry for her old friend, so she pulled her over and threw her onto a chair.

“What can I do if I don’t cry? He’s acting like a madman, he’ll fight your daughter no matter what he says, I can’t stop him. Come with me, I know the place, we’ll each grab one and take them home to discipline them.”

"Aunt Cui, you've really put Aunt Xie in a difficult position. You can manage your daughter, but she can't control hers." Qin Xiaoyu almost laughed out of exasperation.

"Little Fish, figure something out! I don't care anymore!" Xie Lanhua stomped her foot.

Qin Xiaoyu suddenly realized that she often faced situations where everyone else ignored her, but she had to take charge. This was just her fate.

Before entering Master Zheng's shop again, Qin Xiaoyu was cautious. She parked her car behind a big tree outside the alley, watched as Factory Director Fei left with a vegetable basket, and then slipped inside. She had scouted the place; the market wasn't close, and Factory Director Fei wouldn't be back for at least an hour.

During the day, Master Zheng's door is left open because the sewing machine inside is very noisy, and sometimes knocking doesn't get a response. This is to make things easier for customers.

She walked straight in, and found Master Zheng sweating profusely as he operated his sewing machine in the main room. Hearing a noise behind him, he turned around, but the light was backlit, so he could only squint and ask who it was.

"It's me, the person you don't want to see." Qin Xiaoyu sighed, walked to the desk, and casually flipped through the blueprints.

After looking at a few pictures, she became even more determined. This man was determined to succeed, and he was one or two times better than Master Xu.

"I never said I didn't want to see you, it's her who doesn't want to see you." Master Zheng chuckled when he saw that it was Qin Xiaoyu, and didn't mean to kick her out.

"If you put it that way, I'll take that as you're interested in cooperating with me?" Qin Xiaoyu laughed, sensing the hidden meaning in his words.
