Ye Xiaohua hasn't taken on any work these past few days because she needs to prepare for the college entrance exam on the 7th, 8th, or 9th. Education is very important; otherwise, she's afraid that even if she becomes incredibly wealthy in the future, she'll be labeled as a nouveau riche, possessing only wealth but lacking substance.
Attending a prestigious university can be seen as an improvement in one's social standing.
Moreover, studying at a prestigious university allows her to meet many talented and extraordinary people, who may all be potential business partners or entrepreneurial collaborators.
Girls, in particular, should study hard and attend prestigious universities. This will not only elevate their thinking, knowledge, and understanding to a higher level, but also enable them to live a more prosperous life through their education.
To succeed in blacksmithing, one must first be strong oneself. She never believed that a girl's best life was marrying a so-called good man and being supported by him. Rather than betting her life on a man's conscience, she thought it was better to improve her own abilities and live a better life through her own efforts, because she would never betray herself.
As for her daughter, Xiao Kang'an, she only hopes that she will grow up to be a rich second-generation heiress who lives a life of ease and enjoys the enormous wealth that her mother has created for her. She just wants her to eat, drink, and have fun every day, as long as she doesn't do anything illegal or harmful to herself or others.
She had very low expectations for her only daughter.
He Yan still came over to play with the child every day, while Ye Xiaohua mostly stayed in her room reading and didn't come out, so he didn't find an opportunity to break his leg.
Furthermore, Ye Xiaohua was planning to take the college entrance examination. He Yan didn't dare to cause trouble at this time and affect Ye Xiaohua's exam. He decided to wait until after her exam to find an opportunity to break his leg.
Monday arrived in the blink of an eye. It was time for Ye Xiaohua to have dinner with Zhou Musheng. Having not gone out much for the past few days, she made a rare exception and dressed herself up a bit tonight. She wore a slightly fitted, figure-hugging moon-white cheongsam, paired with a pearl necklace and nude pointed-toe high heels. Her hair was simply styled in an updo, making her look clean, neat, and elegant. She picked up a small square bag and headed out.
He Yan stared at her in disbelief. She was already quite beautiful and refined, and this outfit made her look like a stunning beauty from the Republican era.
"where you go?"
He Yan had no more interest in playing with Kang An, so he immediately stood up and blocked Ye Xiaohua's way, not wanting her to go out.
Ye Xiaohua gave him a disdainful look: "Stop looking at me like that, you lecherous bastard, and wipe the drool off your mouth."
He Yan subconsciously reached to wipe his mouth, only to find nothing there, and his face flushed red.
He felt deeply ashamed.
Ye Xiaohua's disdain grew even stronger.
"It's getting late, and it's not very safe for you to go out dressed like this. Do you want me to go with you?"
He Yan overheard her phone call that day and knows she's going out to dinner with that man tonight.
How could he... allow it!
"Commander He, thank you so much for your kindness," she suddenly smiled at her.
He Yan thought she had agreed to let him go out with her, and he was very happy at the moment.
Unexpectedly, she abruptly changed her tone, becoming a master of indifference: "Heh... I don't need it!"
After saying that, she walked past him and was about to leave when He Yan grabbed her arm: "If you don't let me come with you, then you can't go either."
He Yan's eyes darted around as he spoke, clearly lacking confidence.
"He Yan, are you overconfident or do you lack a clear understanding of yourself? I'm already being lenient by letting you come to my house every day to be with the children. If you dare to interfere in my affairs again, don't blame me for making sure you can't even see the children. Don't push your luck."
One thing that hasn't changed about Xiaohua, whether in the present or the past, is that she occasionally has a habit of swearing.
He Yan is someone who hates girls swearing the most.
Seeing that her mother seemed very angry, Kang An came over and pulled He Yan away.
"Dad, Mom is definitely going out to work. She needs to earn lots and lots of money to support me. Stop bothering Mom."
He Yan held onto Xiao Hua's hand tightly. Although he was very angry at her for being shameless, he quickly controlled his emotions and said stubbornly, "Why don't you take me and Kang An with you? We can all have dinner out. I can treat you!"
However, Xiaohua rolled her eyes at him.
She shook off his hand: "Don't follow me, or you'll never see Kang An again. Behave yourself and understand the relationship between us. You have no right to tell me who I meet or what I do."
He Yan wanted to try again, but he was afraid that Ye Xiaohua would get really angry and wouldn't even let him see Kang An anymore. Wouldn't that be a loss for him?
"Kang'an, do you want to go out to eat with Mom? Mom is going out to eat lots of delicious food tonight, you definitely want to go, right?"
He Yan tried to find a breakthrough with the child; if the child insisted on going, she wouldn't be able to blame herself.
Kang An shook his head firmly: "But I don't want to. My mom goes out to work, not to eat delicious food. Toy Dad, come and play with me. Stop bothering my mom."
After she finished speaking, she said to Xiaohua, "Mom, you should come home early after you finish work."
Xiao Hua patted Kang An's head: "Okay, my baby, Mommy will be back as soon as I'm done with my business."
When He Yan heard that she had finished her business and was coming back, he wondered what she and that man could be doing together, even though he didn't want to think of Ye Xiaohua in a bad light. He couldn't help but let his mind wander. He really wanted to grab Ye Xiaohua and lock the door so she wouldn't go out.
But he could only watch helplessly as Xiaohua, dressed exquisitely, went out. As a man, he watched his beautiful wife go to meet a man!
That's so damn pathetic.
But his daughter was still happily playing with the new toy he bought for her that day, completely unaware that her mother had abandoned them to date another man.
Inside a restaurant
Zhou Musheng was amazed by Xiaohua's stunning appearance in her cheongsam.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at wearing cheongsams. Cheongsams can really showcase the unique charm of Eastern women. They really suit you and give you an elegant and refined look."
Faced with Zhou Musheng's praise, Xiaohua accepted it gracefully and smiled calmly: "I was thinking of inviting you to this restaurant, and wearing a cheongsam would be more suitable for the antique style."
As the two chatted over their meal, Zhou Musheng was somewhat surprised to learn that Xiaohua planned to take the college entrance examination this summer as a non-participant candidate.
Xiaohua explained slowly, "Because of family reasons, I didn't finish college, which has always been a regret of mine. Without a diploma, it's hard to establish myself in society. I've been very lucky to have met such kind people like you. Even though I don't have a college diploma, you were willing to give me a chance to try and finally decided to hire me. But I'm afraid I won't go very far without a diploma, so I've decided to take the college entrance exam and go to a good university."
