Cheng Tao kept acting cute and charming, which finally brought a slight smile to Zhao Qinglan's face.

The eldest child had already arrived at school, and the next day Cheng Tao and his mother took the train to Hebei Province, leaving only Zhao Qinglan and Grandpa Dou at home, which suddenly became quiet and deserted.

To get over her disappointment, Zhao Qinglan went shopping and had dinner with Wei Hong.

Wei Hong started out working on her own, but now she has her own small office and has hired several employees.

Perhaps due to her many experiences, she now possesses a certain air of a strong, independent woman.

That evening, the two ate barbecue and drank at the night market. As the alcohol took effect, Wei Hong finally revealed some of her true feelings.

"Qinglan, do you think your cousin is blind?"

Zhao Qinglan laughed heartily. "If Yunxiang knew you were evaluating him like that, I wonder what his expression would be like."

Ding Yu and Liu Dandan also came out, but they sat at another table, so their conversation couldn't be heard clearly.

"Sigh, he actually asked me if I'd be willing to be his girlfriend," Wei Hong said with a self-deprecating laugh. "Me, a divorced, older woman, and him, a wealthy man's unmarried only son—do you think we're a good match?"

Zhao Qinglan shook her head. "It doesn't sound like a good match, but Sister Wei Hong, when it comes to feelings, there's no such thing as being suitable or not suitable. The most important thing is that you click with each other. I'll just ask you one question: do you dislike Yunxiang?"

Wei Hong fell silent for a moment, as images of him coming to her rescue and his gentle, gentlemanly manner flashed before her eyes.

With an ex-husband like Qu Jianshe in the past, and then all sorts of random blind dates that were introduced to her later, Liao Yunxiang immediately stood out from the crowd.

"Look at you, you don't dislike me, do you? If you don't dislike me, there's potential for development. How will you know if you don't try? Anyway, I support you."

"Qinglan, do you think your aunt would agree to us being together? I don't want to make a pointless attempt." Wei Hong smiled bitterly.

Rather than waiting until the relationship deepens before facing these problems, it's better not to start a relationship when the feelings are just average.

"My aunt, I really didn't know that." Zhao Qinglan shrugged.

"You've met my aunt. Compared to her, I'm nothing. My aunt's biggest worry right now is Yunxiang's marriage. Actually, if you think about it this way, you two might not be out of the question. Why don't you let Yunxiang figure things out first?"

" Figure out what?"

"Make him understand what my aunt means first. He wants you to be his girlfriend, so my aunt has to work hard for it herself. See how good I am to you?" She winked and made faces.

"Qinglan, knowing you is probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

"Of course! You should thank God for sending me to your side."

The two of them burst into laughter.

Those who were also eating barbecue at the night market stalls were drawn by the laughter and saw Zhao Qinglan, so they nodded to the people next to them.

Soon, several men came over with beers.

"Hey girl, let's eat together, it's on us."

Upon seeing this, Ding Yu and Liu Dandan immediately got up and came over.

As the two women approached, one of the men jokingly said, "Together? That would be great!"

Under the lights, Zhao Qinglan looked so young that people would believe she was only twenty-five or twenty-six. Wei Hong also paid great attention to her clothes and appearance, and looked to be in her early thirties.

Zhao Qinglan looked at the men and guessed that the oldest was only thirty and the youngest was just over twenty, so she laughed.

"My son is already in college, you guys go have fun by yourselves."

"Hey girl, if you don't want to eat together, don't come up with such an outrageous excuse. Your son's in college? I became a grandfather a few years ago."

The men burst into laughter.

The barbecue stall owner, seeing this, quickly came over to smooth things over.

"Gentlemen, the beer's on me today. Let's eat and drink to our hearts' content."

"What's it to you?" The man, who was already half drunk, shoved the shop owner.

Seeing the group start making a scene, Zhao Qinglan helplessly gestured with her chin to Ding Yu and the others. "If they keep causing trouble, let them calm down."

Ding Yu and Liu Dandan nodded.

"Hey, little sister, how can you talk like that?" The oldest one in the group came over and tried to pull Zhao Qinglan up, but before his hand could even reach her, Ding Yu grabbed him.

Seeing this, the other companions immediately rushed over.

Zhao Qinglan quickly pulled Wei Hong away. Ding Yu and Liu Dandan didn't do anything fancy; they just did things like over-the-shoulder throws, knee kicks, and arm twists.

In just a few moments, the men were all lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Many of the tables and tableware were knocked over during the fight.

The barbecue stall owner and several other customers were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"Boss, we'll compensate you for the loss later. Dandan, go to the nearby police station and find the police."

"Okay." Liu Dandan left immediately.

Wei Hong had always known what Ding Yu and Liu Dandan did, but this was the first time she had seen the two girls act so decisively and efficiently, and her eyes lit up.

"Those two are amazing."

"That's right, Xiaoduo has learned some self-defense moves from the two of them."

Upon hearing Zhao Qinglan mention compensation, the heartbroken boss finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little scared when he saw Liu Dandan go to the police station.

"It's better to resolve this feud than to let it fester. Maybe we should just let it go."

Those of them who are in business especially don't want to get involved in these things.

"Don't worry, boss, we'll handle this."

After saying that, she opened her wallet, took out a considerable amount of money, and handed it to the shop owner. "This should be enough to compensate you for the damage here."
