Hua Fengxiang could see that Hua Kai was wary, so she couldn't say anything more, otherwise it would make her rebellious and even worse.

She could only say, "I hope it's true, your cousin is really introverted and doesn't do well in school. If you have time in the future, could you tutor him on weekends?"

Hua Kai didn't want to get too close to Hua Fengxiang: "It depends on the time, Aunt. My brother and I can only go home once a week. We look forward to it too. We don't have time during evening study sessions."

"It's alright, it's alright, we can do it whenever we have time. Your cousin is still young, so there's no rush. But since you're in the city, you must visit your aunt's house when you have time, okay? I don't have any relatives in the city, and I'm hoping to have a relative visit me."

"Yes, I definitely will if I have the chance."

Hua Fengxiang, trying to make conversation, said, "Kai Kai, who did you learn this skill from? You can even draw blueprints for people. That's no easy feat."

Hua Kai said, "A former teacher taught me a little bit, and then I read a lot of books, especially foreign ones, to practice my English. I never expected that this design would come in handy." This is her usual explanation, and it's become quite familiar with her after repeating it so many times.

Hua Fengxiang said with some envy, "Sometimes it's all about fate. Kai Kai looks like a blessed person, and she's getting prettier and prettier. I always thought you were better than Linlin, but your grandma didn't like to hear that. She always preferred to say that Linlin was better. Sigh, your grandma's mind has always been very biased, even to the point of being biased in her armpits."

"Sometimes fate plays a role, but of course, hard work also contributes, so nothing is inevitable."

"What this girl is saying is too profound, even your aunt can't quite understand it. Are you doing okay in high school? Are you getting used to the food and accommodation?"

"It's a habit. I don't have any demands for these things. After all, my family is poor, and it's not easy for us to even afford to send me to school, right?"

"You are sensible. Your parents are lucky to have a child like you."

"We are very happy to have my parents."

Finally, as Lin Wan had been looking forward to, they arrived in the city. Hua Fengxiang got off the car first. Before getting off, she hurriedly suggested that Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi visit their home. Hua Kai didn't say much, only that they had time, and whether they had time or not was up to them.

After Hua Fengxiang got out of the car, Hua Qingyi asked Hua Kai, "My aunt hasn't been in touch with our family for so many years, so this sudden closeness doesn't seem normal."

Hua Kai smiled and nodded: "Brother, you're smart. Anyway, she's not a good person, so let's just be careful."

"I know, I'll make sure my parents are careful when I get home."

"Yes, those who were good to us before were truly good. Now that they're rushing at us like this, we really need to see them clearly."

As they were talking, they arrived at their stop and the brother and sister got off the train.

It was right after school, so the two of them went to check on Zhang Miao's stall. She was doing quite well all by herself today, which put Hua Kai at ease.

Hua Kai and her older brother returned the new clothes and mattresses that Gu Lan Yan had made for them to their rented house.

After Zhang Miao returned and they finished tidying up, the two went back to school together to study.

When they arrived at the school gate, Hua Kai saw Meng Ming's younger sister, Meng Jing. She let Zhang Miao go in first and then walked towards Meng Jing: "Meng Jing, did you come to see me?"

Meng Jing was overjoyed to hear the sound of flowers blooming and came over to greet them: "Flowers blooming, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find you."

Hua Kai glanced at her watch: "I have to go to evening self-study later, so let's get down to business first. I'll treat you to dinner when you're free."

Because people came to her, but she was too busy, Hua Kai was still very polite.

Meng Jing said, "I'll treat you another day. I really need your help today, but I really don't know who else to ask."

Hua Kai said, "No need to be polite. Just tell me what you can do, and I'll do my best."

"My brother had a fight with my dad these past few days and ran away from home again. I'd like you to go and persuade him to come home," Meng Jing said helplessly.

"Is it because your family is pressuring you to get married?" That was the only thing Hua Kai could think of.

"Yes, this time it's quite serious. My dad said he'd disown him if he didn't get married, and my brother just said, 'Fine, let's disown him then,' and left. I went to his workplace to find him, but I didn't dare say too much, afraid that if we argued, his colleagues would hear and it would affect his work. But I can't just stand by and do nothing, can I? I think what you said makes sense, and I think he trusts you, so I want you to help me persuade him." Meng Jing's eyes were pleading.

After listening, Hua Kai sighed and said, "Let me think about it."

Meng Jing looked at Hua Kai nervously: "Please don't abandon my brother, otherwise I really won't be able to manage on my own."

“It’s not that I’m ignoring it, it’s that I’m thinking about how to manage it,” Hua Kai said.

Meng Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death, Hua Kai, you're such a good friend."

"The flowers are blooming." Gu Xiaoxue waved to Hua Kai when she saw her.

Hua Kai waved to Gu Xiaoxue: "Director Gu, I have a friend to talk to, I'll be going in in a bit."

Gu Xiaoxue looked at Meng Jing, then walked over with a thoughtful expression: "You are, you are Meng Dadan from Class One?"

Meng Jing was also wondering who Gu Xiaoxue was, and it took her a while to remember: "You're Xue-mei from Class 3?"

Hua Kai laughed when she heard the way the two addressed each other. These two must be popular figures at school. They were not in the same class, but they knew each other's nicknames, which proved that they were both people who received a lot of attention.

After realizing what had happened, Meng Jing quickly said to Gu Xiaoxue, "I'm sorry, I just happened to see you and it reminded me of something from middle school. It was wrong of me to call you that. I apologize for that, and also for the nickname we gave you when we were classmates. I'm sorry."

Gu Xiaoxue looked at Meng Jing's sincere face and smiled, "When I was little, I was weak. My grandma listened to a fortune teller and gave me a girl's name. As a result, my health improved, but my heart was hurt. Fortunately, I'm older now and I understand. I don't care anymore. The fact that you can still remember my old nickname proves that I have a certain place in your memory. I'm quite honored."

Meng Jing laughed at herself: "Gu Xiaoxue, you've changed a lot. You look so manly now. Why does Huakai call you Director Gu? Being a director in a high school, you must be quite capable."

Gu Xiaoxue was a little embarrassed: "Although my grades are good enough, I also benefited from the elders' influence." After saying that, she asked again: "Are you still so bold?"

"He must be quite young, working as a surgical intern at the city hospital," Meng Jing said.

“A surgeon like you really can’t be timid.” After saying that, Gu Xiaoxue asked again with a puzzled look, “How did you and Hua Kai meet?”

Meng Jing said, "Hua Kai was decorating my brother's house. We hit it off and that's how we met. You two seem to know each other quite well too?"

Gu Xiaoxue said, "We are friends. Huakai is a friend of my good buddy, so he is also my friend."
