Zhao Mei leaned on the sofa, her chin in her hand, and listened to Huo Cailiang finish speaking. She was very emotional: "I thought Han Ruxue just had a bad temper, but I never expected that she was stupid."
Huo Cailiang particularly agreed with Zhao Mei's statement. He nodded and gave her the reason: "Although Han Ruxue and Bai Yecheng lived next door to each other as childhood sweethearts, Han Ruxue actually went abroad to study in junior high school due to the Han family's business. She continued her studies and only returned to China two years ago. During that time, Bai Yecheng flew abroad to visit her."
"But Han Ruxue has been attending a top aristocratic school abroad since junior high school. She knew that he was much better than Bai Yecheng, a second-generation rich man who only had a nominal master's degree, in terms of both appearance and academics. So she always looked down on him. After returning to China, she realized she couldn't refuse him, so she naively changed her approach."
Zhao Mei thought about Han Ruxue's aggressive look at the door and sneered, "How naive! Miss Han, indeed." Shaking her head, she continued, "So, from what you're saying, this means that our Xiao Huo's revenge plan is finally about to be completed. In just half a month, Comrade Xiao Huo will have to work overtime again. Come on!"
Huo Cailiang's veins popped out, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your blessings and for being so kind as to double my workload at this critical moment."
Zhao Mei heard his gnashing of teeth and the haggard look on his handsome face. Her conscience pricked. She felt that if she continued teasing him, she would lose her merits. She had no choice but to give up the chitchat on the tip of her tongue, stood up and prepared to go out. When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered: "By the way, how is your mother now?"
Huo Cailiang calmed himself down and replied, "Very good. She's been recovering well recently and is now sober. I was just planning to take her over."
Zhao Mei tapped her fingers on the doorknob. "I have a better idea. You won't have time to take care of your mother even if you bring her over, and our hometowns are both in Xincheng. I might as well buy a house next to my parents'. That way, we'll be elderly and can look after each other. You'll still have to hire an aunt, though."
Huo Cailiang thought about it carefully and felt that there seemed to be no problem. He said seriously: "Then thank you for your help."
Zhao Mei shuddered and felt a chill run down her spine. "Ah... Honestly, even if you say thank you now, I feel like you're being sarcastic."
After hearing this, Huo Cailiang felt his blood pressure, which had just calmed down, begin to boil again. "Haha, Miss Zhao, why don't you think about it yourself?"
