Hearing Gu Xiaoxue's words, Xiao He also became somewhat uncertain: "Xiaoxue, you and Xiao Fan are good friends. Tell Auntie the truth, did Hua Kai seduce Xiao Fan?"
Gu Xiaoxue waved her hand directly: "How could that be? They are both my good friends, the three of us are good friends. They opened a shop and helped me get rich. I also opened my own shop soon. We are all hardworking and ambitious young people. Aunt Xiao, you really misunderstood Hua Kai."
Xiao He was also a little confused at this point. Was there some misunderstanding? Was Fang Lanlan's information wrong?
She thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I'm going to visit some relatives these days, so when will you have time to take me to your factory and shop?" She felt that she could make a more direct judgment by seeing it for herself.
Hua Kai wasn't afraid of this at all. To be honest, she wanted to get to know Xiao He better and say something on Ye Yifan's behalf. Ye Yifan had always lacked care, and Xiao He, as his mother, wasn't doing a good enough job.
She said, "Great! I happen to have some time at noon. How about we go to the shop and take a look? I'll treat Auntie to a simple meal while we're at it."
Xiao He was surprised that Hua Kai agreed so readily and openly. She looked at Gu Xiaoxue and asked, "Xiaoxue, if you're not busy, why don't you come along too?"
Gu Xiaoxue had to come along, no doubt, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.
He said, "It's my treat, it's my treat."
School had already let out for a while, so there weren't many people in the corridor. Hua Kai, Gu Xiaoxue, and Xiao He left the school together.
When I arrived at the entrance, I hailed a taxi and went straight to the store.
Upon entering the store, there were quite a few customers. Seeing that it was Hua Kai and Gu Xiaoxue with someone, they assumed that one of their relatives wanted to buy a sofa, so they came over to Hua Kai and said, "Boss, do you need me to introduce you to something?"
Hua Kai said, "This is Boss Ye's mother. Would you like to take her upstairs to have a look?" After saying that, she said to Xiao He, "Aunt Xiao, I won't come along. If you have any questions, just ask the manager."
Li Jing didn't quite understand what Ye Yifan's mother meant, but she was Hua Kai's friend and knew Hua Kai, so this guarantee had some meaning.
She said to Xiao He, "Aunt Xiao, shall we go upstairs and take a look?"
Xiao He nodded: "Then I'll trouble you." After saying that, she went upstairs with Li Jing.
Gu Xiaoxue watched them go upstairs and whispered to Hua Kai, "Are you really that at ease?"
Hua Kai laughed: "I haven't done anything wrong, what am I afraid of? True gold fears no fire." After saying that, she whispered in Gu Xiaoxue's ear: "Ye Yifan is an adult. Do you think either of us can be brought down by evil forces? How could that be? She is my elder now, and I respect her, but when it comes to matters of principle, she can't control anything."
Gu Xiaoxue laughed after hearing this: "That's true. Fan is different from me. I've always been under the protection of my family. I'm always safe and inseparable from my family. But Fan hasn't received that much maternal love. It's too difficult for Aunt Xiao to influence him."
Hua Kai knew the truth. Even her own parents were unaware of Ye Yifan's businesses and money, and this business was not something anyone else could control.
Li Jing led Xiao He upstairs. Once upstairs, Xiao He was somewhat shocked when she saw the sofas and bedding, because even in the provincial capital, there was no furniture this beautiful.
Li Jing introduced each style as she walked.
After looking around, Xiao He asked Li Jing, "Where did you hire the designer for this store?"
Li Jing smiled and said, "Aunt Xiao, don't you know that the designers in our store are all from Boss Hua? We have two bosses, one provides the money and the other provides the skills. We are a perfect match, and neither of us can be missing."
Xiao He was starting to waver, because this design was indeed unexpected.
"Are you sure these are all Huakai's designs, and not things she bought from someone else?" Xiao He asked again.
“Aunt Xiao, you are Mr. Ye’s mother. Don’t you trust your son? Mr. Ye is not someone who can be easily fooled. Our store will soon open in the provincial capital, and we will go abroad in the future. I even have to learn English now.”
"What? Open a store in the provincial capital? That's very expensive. Do they even know how much it will cost?"
"I don't know about that, but the two bosses will handle it. By the way, Aunt Xiao, you may not know this, but the owner of the sofa factory next to our factory wants to poach our boss, but our boss is a man of honor, how could he be poached?"
"Someone's trying to poach her? That's ridiculous! Hua Kai is just a student."
"Aunt Xiao, did you see the design of this store and the furniture? These are not things that ordinary students can do, and even professional designers may not be able to do them."
"I underestimated Huakai. However, they were too naive about opening a store in the provincial capital. Fortunately, my family has connections in the provincial capital, which can help them."
Li Jing didn't know much about the inside story, but since she was Ye Yifan's mother, she was still very polite: "Then Aunt Xiao can talk to our boss about these things in detail."
Xiao He said, "Okay, let's go downstairs then."
Hua Kai looked at Xiao He's expression as she came downstairs and couldn't guess what she was up to this time.
She went over and said, "Aunt Xiao, let's go eat first, and talk while we eat?"
Xiao He agreed: "Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements."
They went straight to a nearby restaurant and booked a small private room. Gu Xiaoxue ordered their signature dishes and poured tea for everyone.
While drinking tea, Xiao He said to Hua Kai, "I don't have much of an opinion on your cooperation, but I heard that you're going to open a shop in the provincial capital. I can't help it if I don't want to get involved, since my family has some connections there. I'll help Xiao Fan with renting the shop and handling the paperwork."
Hua Kai thought to herself, "You really don't understand your son. He's already taken care of everything. The renovations are still going on, and he'll open during winter break. There are two of them. And you're telling me all this? Isn't that a bit...?"
She said to Xiao He, "Aunt Xiao, we have our own ways of handling business matters, so there's no need to trouble ourselves. Ye Yifan has been in the provincial capital these past few days, and he's probably taken care of most of the necessary procedures. The shop is currently under renovation."
"What? You've rented the shops in the provincial capital? How much did that cost? Were you scammed? You didn't contribute any money, and Xiao Fan has only been working for a few years. It's all the old man who's paying. We can't let you squander all of his savings. What will others think of us then?" Xiao He's voice was a little loud as she looked at Hua Kai.
Hua Kai told the truth because she didn't want to pretend she didn't know and then lie to Xiao He, making it seem like she was just teasing her when Xiao He found out from Ye Yifan. That's why she told the truth.
However, Xiao He was clearly out of touch. Of course, she didn't want to expose Ye Yifan's private business. After all, everyone has greed. Xiao He was supporting that troublemaker from the Fang family. If they knew that Ye Yifan had so many businesses, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.
