The other side.

Yang Huiying took a taxi to the vicinity of Zhang Shuen's home, and after asking around for a while, she finally found Zhang Shuen's home.

Zhang Shuen lives in a house allocated by his father’s unit. The house is quite old and the door panels are rotten.

Yang Huiying was about to knock on the door when it was suddenly opened from the inside. A woman in her fifties stared at Yang Huiying from head to toe.

"Who are you looking for?"

Yang Huiying asked softly, "Is this Zhang Shuen's house? I have something to discuss with him."

The woman frowned and asked, "What do you want to do with Shuen?"

Yang Huiying made sure she had found the right door and said with a smile, "Are you Aunt Zhang? I'm Qingxia's friend."

When Zhang's mother heard that Yang Huiying was Wu Qingxia's friend, her attitude suddenly became enthusiastic. She invited Yang Huiying into the yard and asked.

"Are you Qingxia's friend? It's cold outside, come inside and sit for a while. Why didn't Qingxia come with you?"

Yang Huiying stood still, "Qingxia is at work and doesn't have time to come, so I won't go in. Please ask him to come out for a while!"

Mother Zhang said as she walked towards the main room, "Wait a moment! I'll go in and call him out now."

She arrived at the door of Zhang Shuen's room and pushed it open. Without waiting for her to speak, Zhang Shuen hurriedly closed the book in front of him and growled unhappily.

"Mom, how many times have I told you not to come in without knocking? Why can't you remember? Can you respect my privacy?"

Zhang's mother said confidently, "You are my son. I have seen everything. You are my son. Why do you have any private matters that cannot be shared with others?"

Zhang Shuen felt a headache when he heard these words. He felt that his family's decline was partly due to his mother holding his father back.

If his father had found someone of equal status, his family wouldn't have fallen so far behind the Wu family.

Thinking of this, he became even more annoyed and asked impatiently.

"What brings you here?"

Zhang's mother said, "There's a woman looking for you. She's outside."

Zhang Shuen's eyes lit up, "Qingxia is here?"

Zhang's mother shook her head. "It's not Qingxia. How could I not know Qingxia? This woman said she was Qingxia's friend. She was dressed in a weird way. I don't know how Qingxia knew this kind of person."

Qingxia’s friend?

Could it be Gan Runli?

No, why would Gan Runli dress so weirdly?

Let’s go out and take a look first.

Zhang Shuen put the book in the drawer and prepared to go out to take a look. He reminded her worriedly, "Don't touch my things."

Zhang's mother said, "I can't read. Even if you put a book in front of me, I still don't know what's written on it."

Zhang Shuen thought so and walked out with peace of mind.

After leaving the main room and seeing Yang Huiying, he was stunned for two seconds, then walked up to Yang Huiying with a puzzled look on his face, and was very sure that he had never seen this woman before.

"Did you find the wrong person?"

Yang Huiying raised the corners of her mouth and answered affirmatively.

"I'm not looking for the wrong person. I'm looking for you."

Zhang Shuen raised his eyebrows, "I don't know you."

Yang Huiying introduced herself.

"My name is Yang Huiying. Maybe you haven't heard of my name, but I have heard of your name."

Yang Huiying?

Zhang Shuen frowned and thought about it, and suddenly remembered that Gan Runli had mentioned to him before that Wu Qingzhi's little lover outside seemed to be called this name.

But...why did Wu Qingzhi's little lover come to see him?

He looked down on such fickle women and spoke to them in a bad tone.

"Why are you looking for me? We have nothing in common."

Yang Huiying stated her intention straight to the point, "Haven't you always liked Wu Qingxia? If I could find a way for you to marry Wu Qingxia, would you be willing?"

Zhang Shuen sneered.

"You don't even have the qualifications to enter the Wu family, how can you make me the son-in-law of the Wu family?"

Yang Huiying sneered, "I don't want to enter the Wu family's gate."

Then he asked, "Do you want to marry Wu Qingxia? If you do, find a place with no one around and we can talk. If not, just pretend I was never here."

Zhang Shuen hesitated for a moment and said, "Come with me. There is a small park in front. Let's go there to talk." Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to listen to Yang Huiying's ideas. It wouldn't have much impact on him.

He walked in front and led the way, asking curiously as he walked.

"How do you know my address?"

Yang Huiying stared at Zhang Shuen's back and said truthfully, "Once, Wu Qingxia brought a girl to my store to buy clothes, and I heard them talking about you."

Zhang Shuen pricked up his ears, "What did she say about me?"

Yang Huiying replied, adding fuel to the fire, "Wu Qingxia said that your family lives in this area, which is a slum. Only an idiot would marry you and suffer with you... I memorized your address at that time and came to ask around today. I didn't expect to find out your address."

When Zhang Shuen heard this, his face turned unhappy and he said with a sullen face.

"The Wu family used to live here, and they were neighbors with my family, but it was only because they curried favor with the Yu family that things got better and better."

There was a glimmer of success in Yang Huiying's eyes, but unfortunately Zhang Shuen had his back to her and didn't see it at all. The two of them soon came to a dilapidated park.

Wu Qingzhi stopped and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Yang Huiying did not answer but asked, "I actually never understood why you had the trump card in your hand and didn't use it?"

Wu Qingzhi wasn't sure whether the trump card Yang Huiying mentioned was the same as what he thought, so he pretended to be stupid and asked.

"What do you mean?"

Yang Huiying looked like she knew everything. "You saw everything about Wu Qingxia in Qingcheng. You can't be so forgetful that you don't remember this, right?"

Zhang Shuen's eyes flickered, but he pretended to be a gentleman and said disdainfully.

"I will never do such a despicable thing and force Qingxia to be with me."

A trace of contempt flashed in Yang Huiying's eyes. She looked down on Zhang Shuen's hypocritical appearance and wanted to magnify the evil thoughts in Zhang Shuen's heart.

"I don't agree with your point of view. I think if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself. As long as it is what I want, I will get it even if I have to use any means."

Zhang Shuen had long thought about making a big deal out of this matter and forcing Wu Qingxia to marry him, but he didn't have the courage. He hesitated for more than two months and still couldn't make up his mind.

Yang Huiying's words gave him some confidence, but he didn't know what Yang Huiying's purpose was in telling him these things.

Wouldn't this woman set a trap for him?

He stared at Yang Huiying and asked with a defensive look on his face.

"You came to me just to tell me this? What is your purpose in telling me this?"

Yang Huiying, "Don't worry about why I did this. I won't harm you. As long as you tell the newspaper what happened to Wu Qingxia in Qingcheng, Wu Qingxia's reputation will be ruined. If she doesn't marry you, she won't be able to find a good husband again."

"Anyone with a little status in Beijing would not want a woman with a bad reputation like Wu Qingxia. The most important thing is, even if you did this, the Wu family would only think that it was Yang Niannian who did it, and they would not think of you as the one who took the blame. Someone else helped you take the blame, and you just sat back and reaped the benefits."

If she were Zhang Shuen, she would have done it long ago.

Zhang Shuen's darkest thoughts were all spoken out, and his face looked a little unhappy. If Yang Huiying had not come to him, he might have dared to do so.

If he does this now, Yang Huiying will have the upper hand over him.

What if Yang Huiying uses this to threaten him in the future?

He first had to figure out why Yang Huiying told him this.

Thinking of this, he stared at Yang Huiying and asked.

"None of this seems to have anything to do with you, right? Why are you telling me all this? What exactly do you want to do? Are you planning to wait for me to do these things, then run to the Wu family to take credit and tell them that I did it?"
