However, Hua Kai knew that this was not the Fang Lanlan who had been switched at birth with Ye Yifan. That girl called Xiao He "Auntie" and did not greet Hua Kai.

Hua Kai didn't care much about Xiao He's affairs because Xiao He hadn't even established a normal mother-son relationship with her son. She just needed to maintain an appropriate distance and relationship with her.

Ye Jianxiao introduced Hua Kai to a few friends again, and then asked Hua Kai to sit next to him: "Girl, sit next to Grandpa, Grandpa has something to tell you."

Just as Hua Kai was about to sit down, Ye Yifan came in. He greeted the elders first, then came to Hua Kai's side and asked, "Are you exhausted?"

Hua Kai shook her head: "No, business is good, I'm so happy, I don't feel tired at all."

Indeed, the business is better than expected, and Hua Kai is truly happy. This is not only about making money, but also about realizing her self-worth.

Ye Yifan smiled and said, "Little money-grubber, but the sales are indeed better than we expected."

At this moment, Xiao He said to Ye Yifan, "Xiao Fan, come here."

When his mother called him, Ye Yifan naturally went over. He walked up to Xiao He and asked, "Mom, is something the matter?"

Xiao He pulled the girl next to her to stand up: "Xiao Fan, do you still remember Tingting? Chang Tingting, your Uncle Chang's youngest daughter. She used to come to our house often, but then her family moved away. Now their business is very big."

The girl said to Ye Yifan, "Brother Yifan, you must remember me, right?"

Ye Yifan looked at the girl and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't remember."

Everyone around had been watching, and Ye Yifan's answer was truly unexpected. Normally, you would at least give the girl some face and say it tactfully. But he just said he didn't remember, which was too embarrassing.

Chang Tingting really didn't expect Ye Yifan to say that, and her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed. She was so embarrassed.

Although Xiao He was angry, she understood her son's personality. If she went against Ye Yifan now, he might be even more disgusted. Today, she was going to play matchmaker for Ye Yifan and Chang Tingting.

So she suppressed her anger and said to Ye Yifan, "Maybe you were focused on your studies at that time and often went to your grandfather's house, so you don't remember it well. But it's okay. Now let's treat this as a reunion. You should keep in touch with Tingting more often. Your Uncle Chang has been in business for many years and will help you in the future."

Ye Yifan said to Xiao He, "Huakai and I have our own connections and friends, we don't need outside help. Mom, if there's nothing else, I still need to talk to Huakai about sales and advertising."

Xiao He was truly angry this time: "Xiao Fan, how can you be so rude? Tingting is someone I brought here, what kind of attitude is this?"

Ye Yifan's expression also darkened: "Today is my opening day, I have so much to do, on such an important day, has Mom really thought about me?"

Xiao He wanted to say something, but Ye Tingjun pulled her aside: "It's the child's opening day, we can't help, so let's not cause any trouble. Sit down, we can talk about it privately sometime."

Xiao He reluctantly sat down.

Chang Tingting felt even more awkward. She sat down next to Xiao He, but her eyes still lingered on Ye Yifan.

Ye Jianxiao was already angry, but the old man didn't like talking to Xiao He, so he glared at Ye Tingjun.

Ye Tingjun felt guilty when he received his father's look. Over the years, he had focused on his work and hadn't handled his family affairs well. He regretted it now, but so many years had passed and his son had grown up, so it was too late to make amends.

Ye Yifan didn't say anything, and went back to sit down next to Hua Kai.

Fortunately, the food started to be served at this time, so the atmosphere eased up.

Seeing Ye Yifan's unhappy expression, Hua Kai poured him a glass of water and whispered, with a hint of Ye Yifan's concern, "Don't think so much. You've achieved success in both love and career, what's there to be unhappy about?"

Ye Yifan smiled upon hearing Hua Kai's words: "You're still the best to me."

Hua Kai smiled and said, "Of course, what kind of relationship do we have, right?"

Ye Jianxiao watched the two children talking and smiled. He whispered to Hua Kai, "Girl, I feel at ease about Xiao Fan with you here."

Hua Kai whispered to Ye Jianxiao, "Let's protect him together. My parents can protect him too. Don't worry, Grandpa. My parents treat him better than they treat me."

Ye Jianxiao grinned from ear to ear: "Xiao Fan is so lucky to have met your family."

Ye Yifan had never felt that kind of happiness before, and she listened to them talking with a smile the whole time.

But Xiao He on the other side was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood. This was her son, but he wouldn't listen to her at all. It felt like she was choking on food, unable to swallow or spit it out, and it was incredibly painful.

Chang Tingting, who was standing nearby, whispered to Xiao He, "Aunt Xiao, didn't you say that Hua Kai and Brother Xiao Fan are collaborating? Why do I feel like Brother Xiao Fan is so gentle with her?"

Xiao He said, "Xiao Fan has invested so much money and opened so many shops. What if she runs away with the money if we don't treat her well? You don't need to worry. She's just a country girl. Her family isn't very capable. Her parents are farmers. She's from a poor family and doesn't deserve Xiao Fan."

Hearing Xiao He say this, Chang Tingting felt confident: "They're not a good match. It might be okay if they were from an ordinary family, but the Ye family is quite respectable. Xiao Fan and she are not a good match."

Xiao He said, "Of course, don't overthink it. Your mother and I both hope that you and Xiao Fan will be together. We are a perfect match."

At this moment, a boy about the same age as Ye Tingjun walked in and went straight to Ye Tingjun and Xiao He: "Mom and Dad, I went with a classmate to buy cassette tapes, so I'm late."

Hua Kai looked at the boy and knew that he was Ye Yifan's younger brother, Ye Yizhou. This younger brother was not very clever, but he was also easily influenced. In any case, he was not close to Ye Yifan.

Ye Tingjun said to Ye Yizhou unhappily, "I told you today is the day your brother opens his business, so don't be late."

Before Ye Yizhou could speak, Xiao He said, "It doesn't matter if the child arrives early or late." Then she said to Ye Yizhou, "Sit next to your sister Tingting."

Chang Tingting helped him move the stool: "Xiao Zhou, come and sit down."

Ye Yizhou was about to go and sit down.

Ye Jianxiao coughed and said to Ye Yizhou, "Yizhou, didn't your parents teach you manners? There are so many elders here, shouldn't you greet them?"

Ye Yizhou knew it was wrong not to greet his elders, so he said to Ye Jianxiao, "Grandpa, I'm sorry." After saying that, he stood properly beside the old man.

Hua Kai felt that this child wasn't a bad kid, just a bit naive. At least he listened to what she said and admitted he was wrong. He wasn't the kind of willful and spoiled brat, but she felt he was a bit immature, with his expressions and actions showing a slight lack of maturity.
