Weren't they always able to talk about anything?

Lu Hua was about to ask Kong Xiang, but was stopped by her friend, who told her to calm down.

But how could Lu Hua remain calm? That was a friend she considered family!

As time goes by, it seems that time has also lengthened the distance between them; it's been about eight years since they last met.

Besides, Lu Huafa has not forgotten Kong Xiang over the years. She asked for Kong Xiang's address and would send her food, daily necessities and clothes from time to time, as a way of repaying Kong Xiang for her help over the years.

The address is Kong Xiang's hometown, but she is clearly in Haicheng. What is the unspeakable thing behind this?

In the end, Lu Hua couldn't hold back anymore. She wasn't the type to hold back; she always said what she meant. She just changed her approach and asked Kong Xiang in a joking tone, "That's going too far. You invited everyone else to your wedding but not me. Have you forgotten about me?"

Kong Xiang replied with a "hahaha" and then offered no further explanation.

The reply was perfunctory, and Lu Hua didn't press the matter further, but it felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat, making her re-evaluate this friendship.

Lu Hua asked her friend, who worked as a cashier at her company, for help in understanding the situation.

Her friend replied, "She said you're busy with your business and don't have much time. If she causes you to argue with your boss again, wouldn't you become the one who's guilty?"

Lu Hua didn't care: "You'll get used to the bickering. We've argued enough before, haven't we? If Kong Xiang doesn't like it, I won't bring him out."

My friend sighed: "Kong Xiang hasn't had a good time these past two years. She's such a proud person."

Lu Hua thought about it and realized that was indeed the case. She pressed on, "Kong Xiang married a doctor, and she herself has a government job, so how could things not be good for her?"

Annoyed by her relentless pursuit, her friend blurted out her guesses: "Kong Xiang has always been in poor health. After giving birth, she had to take care of the family and couldn't go out to work. Her husband was also unhappy at the hospital, so he partnered with someone to invest in a private hospital, but they were swindled out of the money. They sold their house to pay off the debts. Now their child needs to start elementary school, but school requires a school district house. It all comes down to money."

Lu Hua understood. It was just a child going to school. Their company could handle the medical and social security needs, and she would help with the connections.

Look how difficult it is for her. Even if she needs to work, Lu Hua can arrange one for her in no time.

Lu Hua was about to make a call, but then she remembered what her friend had said about Kong Xiang being concerned about saving face. After a few twists and turns in her mind, Lu Hua casually called Kong Xiang and asked, "What are your plans for the future? If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask me."

Kong Xiang naturally refused. When Lu Hua saw that this wouldn't work, she changed the subject back to their college days. After chatting for a while, Kong Xiang finally revealed her needs. She told Lu Hua, "Sister Hua, I want to start a business after my child goes to school."

At this point, Lu Hua looked at Sun Lifang and said, "I voluntarily offered to lend her money to start her business. I trust her character."

Lu Hua's husband finally realized what was happening and sighed, "I thought it was something serious, why are you making such a fuss?"

Meanwhile, Sun Lifang didn't move, but a thought crossed her mind.

Starting a business?

The money Lu Hua could lend out was definitely a small amount of disposable income that wouldn't affect her life.

Wait, life?

Combining these two keywords, Sun Lifang looked up and shook her head: "Besides borrowing money, she must have other requests."

The meaning was clear, though not elaborated upon.

Lu Hua's best friend's demands lead to the destruction of her family, while the mystery surrounding Kong Xiang grows ever deeper.

Sun Lifang pulled Lu Hua aside and instructed him, "Don't tell anyone about this during this time, including your mutual friends."

She felt that Kong Xiang must be hiding something.

Some people helped her cover it up, dragging Lu Hua step by step toward the abyss.

Sun Lifang's expression and words gave Lu Hua the feeling that she had been deceived by others. She had been confident for a long time, and no one had ever dared to look down on her like this, so she naturally felt uncomfortable.

Noticing Lu Hua's change, Sun Lifang paused and emphasized, "I have no reason to lie to you. Believe it or not."

Lu Hua's heart skipped a beat, her rationality collapsed, and she felt ashamed. Suppressing her anger, she blurted out, "I must be crazy to listen to your nonsense. You have no right to comment on my friend!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the tall, imposing man next to Sun Lifang looked at her with a warning in his eyes.

Lu Hua didn't have time to deal with the person, so he lowered his head and whispered "Excuse me" before hurriedly leaving.

They were business associates, and it was the first time Lu Hua's husband had ever seen a woman so distraught. He suppressed the urge to chase after his wife and stayed behind to ask Sun Lifang, "Is there any way to resolve this?"

He had a feeling that what the woman said was true.

Lu Hua is very loyal and makes friends from all over the world in business, but this has become a problem in his personal life.

His own company was crammed with relatives, friends, and classmates, and while other employees were suffering, he was understanding and forgiving.

Judging from Lu Hua's expression, things might not be so simple.

Sun Lifang got Lu Hua's home address and planned to wait for Lu Hua on his way to the bank tomorrow.

You must keep her!

On the way back, Zhou Yunshi drove.

The driver took Zhou Dahai home ahead of time. His daughter, Zhou Xinya, was fast asleep in the back after playing until she was covered in sweat.

Sun Lifang's heart was pounding. She was waiting for Zhou Yunshi to ask her questions, but he acted as if he didn't know anything.

Carrying her daughter upstairs, Sun Lifang was exhausted after her afternoon nap, having gone through all that running around.

After changing into her pajamas and lying in bed, Zhou Yunshi helped her draw the curtains down. Feeling drowsy, Sun Lifang was about to drift off to sleep.
