"Uh, I didn't ask to come, it was Lao Bai who asked!"
Ye Chen quickly distanced himself from the situation.
Huo Zhixing gave Bai Jingyuan a sinister look.
"No, Third Brother, I..."
"Not only did you come, you also said you wanted to ride in Third Brother's new car!"
"Old Ye!" Bai Jingyuan couldn't win an argument with him no matter how hard he tried.
Huo Zhixing said coldly, "Didn't I tell you not to wander around here unnecessarily? What if Can Can sees you like this!"
"I……"
Bai Jingyuan was on the verge of tears, while Ye Chen suppressed a smile.
"Forget it, Third Brother. He's never been very clever since he was little, so don't take it to heart!"
Bai Jingyuan: "..."
"By the way, your new car is really beautiful!" Ye Chen smiled like an old fox. "Isn't it Jiang Can's taste?"
Only then did a smile appear on Huo Zhixing's face.
Ye Chen said, "Jiang Can really has a good eye. Third Brother, all your previous cars were too impractical. This car's performance, style, and especially the color, are a perfect match for you!"
Bai Jingyuan's face instantly showed disdain.
However, Huo Zhixing was in a good mood and even offered to drive them out for a drive.
So Ye Chen finally got to the point: "I really did come to see you about something... Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Huo Zhixing nodded, turned around and went into the store to ask Jiang Can for the car keys.
"Are you going out?"
"Hmm...going for a drive with friends." Huo Zhixing chuckled.
Huo Zhixin was in the shop, guarding the oven like a little glutton. Upon hearing this, he immediately realized that it must be those two guys coming to find him.
Jiang Can handed him the keys and casually asked, "What kind of friend?"
“It’s…” Huo Zhixing thought for a moment, “…a former cellmate!”
Huo Zhixin nearly spat out her coffee.
"Fellow inmate?" Jiang Can was taken aback. "Is it the one who called you last time to borrow money?"
"……yes."
"Honey, didn't you say you didn't want to have any more contact with them?"
Huo Zhixin looked at him mischievously, wondering how he would explain himself!
Unexpectedly, Third Brother was just like Third Brother, saying directly, "They've reformed well and are now starting anew. I think we should give them a chance."
*Pfft!* Huo Zhixin coughed violently.
Jiang Can quickly handed her a tissue and patted her back gently, not taking Huo Zhixing's words too seriously.
If even Lu Lishan could reform his ways, then those people should be able to do the same.
Besides, she always believed that her husband's judgment was sound!
"Alright, you go ahead!" Jiang Can smiled. "I'll take care of the shop!"
Huo Zhixing took his car keys and went out. Huo Zhixin watched his retreating figure, then looked at Jiang Can, and asked softly, "Sister, do you really trust him that much?"
"Huh?" Jiang Can didn't understand. She was busy making Huo Zhixin another iced latte.
"His friends were all former inmates, people who had served time in prison!"
Jiang Can's smile faltered for a moment, but the gentleness in her eyes and brows remained unchanged.
She looked at Huo Zhixin gently and said in a low voice, "He took the wrong path before he met me, but since he's been with me, he's never taken the wrong path again."
"The most important thing between husband and wife is mutual trust. I understand Gu Mang and trust him 100%. He will definitely not repeat the same mistake."
"Sister," Huo Zhixin said, somewhat touched, "what if he really lies to you one day?"
"How could that be! He promised me he would never hide anything from me."
"but……"
The words were about to slip out, but Huo Zhixin couldn't bring herself to say them; she just swallowed hard.
In this kind of situation, no one else can get involved except for her brother to explain it to her personally.
"Alright," Jiang Can smiled and gently pinched her little nose, "Why are you acting so strange today? Is it because you didn't get to eat any cookies?"
Huo Zhixin forced a smile and helped her take out the cookies.
The wind chimes at the door rang, and guests entered one after another.
Jiang Can began another busy day. Like any other ordinary day, sunlight streamed into the courtyard, the aroma of coffee filled the house, guests chatted and took photos, and before leaving, they all gave positive reviews.
Although it is nearing early autumn, the irises are still blooming beautifully.
Jiang Can was filled with happiness, and Huo Zhixin, seeing her satisfied smile, also hoped that she could continue to be happy like this.
...
Huo Zhixing drove along the riverbank, very slowly and carefully, with very few bumps.
The passenger seat is Jiang Can's seat; no one else is allowed to sit there.
So the two people in the back row wore expressions of utter despair the whole way, staring at the back of the person in front of them as if they'd seen a ghost, occasionally letting out a soft sigh.
He treated a car worth less than 100,000 yuan like a treasure.
He used to drive those luxury sports cars that cost tens of millions of dollars with a single press of the accelerator, and when they broke, he didn't care at all and treated them as scrap metal.
It's true what they say, people in the same car have different fates...
"Third Brother," Bai Jingyuan yawned, "If you keep driving at this speed, I'm going to fall asleep!"
In the rearview mirror, Huo Zhixing's face darkened, and he slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"If you want to sleep, go downstairs to sleep. You tend to drool when you sleep, so don't let it get on the car!"
Bai Jingyuan immediately sat up straight, looking refreshed.
"Then, Third Brother," Ye Chen said with a forced smile, "can I have some water?"
Master Huo's eyes widened. "What if you spill it?"
Ye Chen remained silent, enduring his thirst.
"Third Brother, I have something to tell you." Bai Jingyuan decided to get this over with quickly and not suffer here any longer. "Huo Zhiyan has already decided to send Gu Mang to England."
"Yes, that's right." Ye Chen nodded. "They've been processing the paperwork recently, and they've trained Gu Mang quite well."
