"It must have been fate that we recognized each other yesterday. Otherwise, I might still have run away." Xu Zhaoyue's heartfelt words touched everyone present. Her three aunts were wiping away tears, and they generously gave her gifts.
"If you can't adapt to life in Shanghai, come back to me. I'll help you make a name for yourself in Beijing." Jin Fuyuan quietly led Xu Zhaoyue to a corner. His words of loyalty, spoken in such a small corner, had the feel of a promise or vow.
Xu Zhaoyue shook her head. "I'm a well-known person in Shanghai. You're underestimating me just because you're struggling in Beijing."
"That amazing?" Jin Fuyuan asked. "That amazing," Xu Zhaoyue replied. The two exchanged a smile.
Preparations for the departure were all complete, except for a minor disagreement over personnel allocation. Xu Zhaoyue's plan was to return with Yue Lanxing and Xue Huzi as soon as possible, but the Jin family disagreed and insisted on sending someone along.
Xu Zhaoyue said she didn't know the situation at home and couldn't let her cousins come along. Although Jin Wantai was unwilling, he also knew that the younger generation couldn't help, and it wouldn't be appropriate for his uncles to go back with them from the beginning.
Finally, Xu Zhaoyue was asked to return with bodyguards, at least six. The Qin family disagreed and demanded four more bodyguards. Fortunately, Yue Lanxing had already rejected the Yue family, otherwise the number would have been even greater.
Xu Zhaoyue finally decided that each family should have two children, and that Cuicui should come with her. She would have them bring the letter back when they arrived in Shanghai.
Xu Zhaoyue was on her way home, and the Xu family was also busy.
"Sister, why won't you let me go? I can finish the course in ten days or so." He Kaiyuan held the invitation, completely baffled by his sister's decision.
Seeing his excitement, He Lianhua narrowed her eyes, clearly displeased. "You insist on going? Fine, go ahead. The day after you go, I'll tell everyone that the He family won't invest in the Xu family."
"Sis! Why are you being so cruel? Didn't you like Xiao Hao a lot before?" He Kaiyuan was stunned. He had finally managed to persuade her, and she just went back on her word.
“You said it yourself, that was in the past. Your sister Zhaoyue was good to you before, wasn’t she? She said she would wait three years, so it has to be three years. What’s the rush?” He Lianhua retorted.
He Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment. Even Xiao Hao had come out, but his sister hadn't. "Sister, Sister Zhaoyue has already..."
"No, it's already happened! If something really happened, they should have held a funeral first. Why didn't they hold a funeral in the first place? Let me tell you, if they didn't hold one, nothing happened. They're just trying to use our families' influence to glorify Xu Zhaohao. They're dreaming."
He Lianhua didn't speak loudly, but the anger in her eyes was undeniable. When He Kaiyuan saw her like this, he seemed to understand why his sister had agreed to invest.
The current situation is that it's not acceptable for Yue Lanxing to win, nor is it acceptable for the Xu family to lose. The intention of these families is to let the Xu family linger until the three-year term expires. Even if Xu Zhaoyue gets into trouble, it will still have an effect.
"Can I go to the Xu family? I promise I won't show up in front of everyone." He Kaiyuan compromised.
He Lianhua was angry whenever she saw him. "Suit yourself. You'll bear the consequences if you get photographed." Over the past six months, she had come to fully understand what Zhao Yue meant when she told her that.
The younger brother in front of me is smart, but he uses all his intelligence on others. Relying on him to inherit the He family business is not as good as doing it myself. At least I can raise my own children as my grandchildren.
