Hua Kai forgot to bring a sample booklet earlier, and when she came back to get it, she overheard Hua Fengxiang's words.

She said to Hua Fengxiang, "Aunt, you're a woman too. I'm better than you, aren't I? You're just thinking about moving things from your parents' home to your husband's home. I also care about the Hua family. I'm just a person who distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. When I hire people, I look at their character. So, Aunt, you should take care of things first, and then we can talk about other things." After saying that, she walked to the desk and took out a sample booklet.

Hua Fengxiang never expected that Hua Kai would overhear her words. She had come to flatter Hua Kai, but now she was in an awkward situation.

She quickly explained, "Kai Kai, you've misunderstood. I'm doing this for the good of the Hua family and for your own good. I'm afraid you'll be deceived because you're young."

Hua Kai smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Aunt, but it's not necessary." She then left without waiting for Hua Fengxiang to say anything more.

Hua Zhongzhi shook his head at Hua Fengxiang: "You really have no vision. Alright, you should go home now. Don't get in my way. If you really care about your family, go back and visit your mother when you have time. She misses you."

Hua Fengxiang thought of Zheng Shuzhen's life on the kang (a heated brick bed), and she didn't want to go back at all: "Dad, my family is busy, I don't have time to go back. I can't help here, so I'll go home." After saying that, she left. She hadn't achieved her goal, and there was no point in staying any longer.

Watching his daughter leave, Hua Zhongzhi sighed again. He could understand even more why his eldest son's family didn't help his siblings anymore, because some people are like robbers at heart, and helping them would only make them more greedy.

Hua Zhongzhi doesn't want to worry about so much anymore. The children are all grown up now, so let's just see how they develop on their own.

Fortunately, the fourth son was influenced by the eldest son and became more and more upright. Although the third son was not filial, he was passable on the surface and not too greedy, so he was just so-so. As for the second son, he was just an ungrateful child.

Seeing that Hua Fengxiang had left, Hua Qingyi came up to check on Hua Zhongzhi: "Master, are you alright?"

Hua Zhongzhi shook his head and said, "It's alright. If I understand, I won't be disappointed anymore."

"Let's go downstairs then, and we'll go to a restaurant for dinner later."

"Yes, child, don't worry, I'm really not confused anymore."

Hua Qingyi smiled and helped Hua Zhong downstairs.

The opening day went smoothly. After dinner, Ye Yifan took Hua Wanjiang and his wife, as well as Hua Zhongzhi, to their rented house, because the newly purchased house was not yet fully furnished and the rented house had not yet been returned.

Because Hua Qingyi works at the renovation company, Hua Kai and Ye Yifan arranged to meet Gu Xiaoxue and Meng Jing that afternoon. Gu Xiaoxue and Meng Jing are getting married before the new year, so Hua Kai and Ye Yifan wanted to check on them and see if there was anything they could do to help.

They arranged to meet at a well-known coffee shop in the city. When they entered, Gu Xiaoxue and Meng Jing were already there, seated by the window.

After exchanging greetings, they sat down and chatted for a while, eventually getting to the topic of Gu Xiaoxue and Meng Jing's marriage.

With the house purchased, the renovation was handled by Hua Qingyi, and the furniture was taken care of by Hua Kai and Ye Yifan. This major issue was resolved.

When it came to taking wedding photos, there was no computer photo editing back then, so Huakai volunteered to take their wedding photos and design the wedding dress.

Meng Jing happily pulled Hua Kai along and said, "Hua Kai, it's so good to know you. You can help me with everything."

Hua Kai smiled and said, "That would have to be because we're close enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't just agree to help anyone."

Just as they were having a good time, someone they didn't know well but recognized walked over and reached out to grab Gu Xiaoxue, saying, "Xiaoxue, it really is you! We're really destined to meet. I never thought that the time I wanted to see you the most would come to me. I've missed you so much."

Hua Kai remembered who this person was. It was Qiao Man, Gu Xiaoxue's ex-girlfriend, that fickle woman. Anyway, regardless of gender, Hua Kai didn't have a good impression of people who cheated.

But this is a matter of feelings, and it's not appropriate for others to say anything on behalf of the parties involved. She should just observe first and then decide.

Gu Xiaoxue withdrew her hand and stood up: "Qiao Man, show some respect. We have no relationship anymore."

Qiao Man looked at Gu Xiaoxue with disbelief: "Xiaoxue, how can you say that? Don't you love me anymore? You said you would only love me for the rest of your life."

Although Meng Jing knew that Gu Xiaoxue had an ex-girlfriend, that was all in the past. At this moment, she was truly aggrieved and didn't know how to face it. Especially when she heard Qiao Man ask Gu Xiaoxue that question, she really couldn't listen anymore and picked up her bag to leave.

Hua Kai grabbed Meng Jing; she couldn't stay silent. Otherwise, if Gu Xiaoxue and Meng Jing really thought that Qiao Man had created a rift, it would be completely pointless. Right now, both parties involved were a bit confused, so she had to speak up and point out the problem.

She said to Meng Jing, "Meng Jing, don't listen to what others say, and don't be instigated by others. Tell Gu Xiaoxue everything clearly and don't let the villains take advantage of you."

Ye Yifan was also clear-headed. He said to Gu Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, don't be stunned. Quickly explain yourself so that Meng Jing doesn't misunderstand."

Gu Xiaoxue was sweating with anxiety. She grabbed Meng Jing's hand and said, "Jingjing, you're the only one in my heart right now. I've told you about Qiao Man and me. She was indeed my ex-girlfriend, but we broke up. I have nothing to do with her now. I really didn't expect her to come to me and say all this. But I don't have any other feelings for her. We're not even friends. Jingjing, you have to believe me."

When Qiao Man heard Gu Xiaoxue say that, she couldn't agree. Gu Xiaoxue was already quite successful at such a young age. After going around in circles, she realized that Gu Xiaoxue was the best to her and had the best conditions. So she regretted it and was determined to bring Gu Xiaoxue back to her side this time.

She asked Gu Xiaoxue, "Xiaoxue, were all the things you told me back then false? You said you would always love me, you said you would marry no one but me in this life, do you mean none of your words anymore?"

Hua Kai looked down on women like Qiao Man. Meng Jing had no experience in this area, and Hua Kai was Meng Jing's friend, so she could be considered a matchmaker between Gu Xiaoxue and Meng Jing.

She couldn't help but say, "Qiao Man, if you cherish your love, then I believe Gu Xiaoxue will cherish it too. But you betrayed him first, so his vows are no longer valid. Vows of love are something that two people must uphold together. Do you expect Xiaoxue to wait for you forever just because you betrayed him, went out and dated a few boyfriends, and then realized that Xiaoxue is the best? While you were out flirting with other men, Xiaoxue had already found the love of her life. You missed out on this yourself, so you can't blame anyone else."
