Hua Kai continued to ask Xiao He, "Auntie, you took Fang Lanlan to the park quite a few times when she was little, right? You celebrated every single one of Fang Lanlan's birthdays, didn't you? You know all of Fang Lanlan's preferences, right? But what about your own son?"
Xiao He was truly speechless this time: "I, I..."
Hua Kai continued, "You trust Fang Lanlan more, right? Because you feel that you raised Fang Lanlan yourself, so when Ye Yifan was at home, whenever there was a conflict with Fang Lanlan, you would automatically think it was Ye Yifan's fault, right? But don't forget that genes are also very important. There isn't a single good person in the Fang family. How can there really be an exceptional person from the same blood? Isn't Fang Lanlan a member of the Fang family? At least since I've known Ye Yifan, he hasn't told a single lie. What, he likes to lie to you, and he likes to lie when there's a conflict with Fang Lanlan? I think you need to observe Fang Lanlan carefully. Is she really as good as you say?"
Xiao He remained silent, her resolve beginning to waver.
Hua Kai continued, "If Fang Lanlan really cares about you and Ye Yifan, then she should go back to the Fang family herself, let Ye Yifan come back, and everyone can go back to where they belong. There's no need for her to tell you she's leaving while saying she can't bear to part with you. Over the years, I think Fang Lanlan has told you countless times that she's sorry to Ye Yifan, hasn't she? She might even tell you that Ye Yifan isn't close to you because he's too calculating, right? She must be saying how good Ye Yifan is while finding some flimsy excuse to make you think he's even worse. And she'll cry and repent every now and then to make you think she's sensible, but what's the reality? She's still living her good life, and Ye Yifan still can't come home. Don't you know in your heart whether she's a good person or not?"
Today, Hua Kai has said everything, because in public, she and Ye Yifan are just friends and business partners, so there's nothing wrong with saying it. If it were her girlfriend saying it, she really wouldn't feel as comfortable saying it like that.
Ye Yifan was a little surprised to hear this. He knew that Hua Kai was a person who would not be bullied and that she would protect him, but he did not know that Hua Kai could say so much about what he was thinking.
Xiao He clenched her fists. This was the first time she had heard such an evaluation of Fang Lanlan. She was unwilling to believe it or admit it, but she also tried to refute it.
Chang Tingting was stunned. She knew about the Ye family's affairs, but she didn't know so much about the inside story. She didn't know what to say, but she did feel sorry for Ye Yifan.
She asked Xiao He, "Aunt Xiao, these things are different from what Fang Lanlan usually tells me? If that's really the case, then haven't I been deceived by Fang Lanlan a lot?"
Although Xiao He couldn't deny some things, she still trusted Fang Lanlan more: "Everyone has a different perspective on things, and you can't make a judgment based on just one side of the story."
Ye Yifan looked at Xiao He with a wry smile and asked, "Why is it that when Fang Lanlan and I have a conflict, you only listen to one side of the story?"
Hua Kai then asked Xiao He, "Auntie, if Ye Yizhou trusts others but not you, will you feel bad?"
Xiao He didn't speak, because she knew.
Hua Kai then asked, "Do you think Ye Yifan would feel bad if you believed Fang Lanlan but not Ye Yifan?"
Xiao He thought for a moment and then said, "But Lanlan is someone I watched grow up, and she is very honest."
Hua Kai laughed: "So you mean you don't trust Ye Yifan? I don't even ask you to favor the son you've wronged. If you had just looked for evidence fairly back then, I believe Ye Yifan wouldn't have been so disappointed in you. Auntie, I want to say something for you, but I can't find anything to say. Fortunately, Grandpa Ye has very sound values. I think since you didn't intervene when you should have, now that Ye Yifan is doing very well, you really shouldn't cause him any more trouble."
Xiao He still disagreed, saying, "I was wrong for not intervening before, and I'm trying to make amends now. Don't stir up trouble. I'm just concerned, but you see it as causing trouble. What do you mean by that?"
Seeing Xiao He speak to Hua Kai like that, Ye Yifan said to Xiao He, "You're not making amends now, you're just causing me more trouble. Besides, Kai Kai isn't stirring up trouble, she's just speaking fairly. If you can't even listen to that, then what can we say?"
After saying that, he looked at the flowers and said, "Let's go. There's probably no point in talking anymore. If that person I don't want to see comes back later, I'll only make things worse."
Hua Kai said to Xiao He, "Auntie, I heard you. Fang Lanlan's appearance makes your own son uncomfortable, but you have never really considered his feelings. What can I say? We have to go now, goodbye."
After saying that, Hua Kai followed Ye Yifan out.
Xiao He watched their retreating figures, then leaned against the doorframe, unsure of what else to say.
Chang Tingting looked at Xiao He, her heart filled with complicated emotions. She liked Ye Yifan, so she was on Ye Yifan's side. Now she even suspected that she had been used by Fang Lanlan in some way. After all, Fang Lanlan had told her a lot, but none of what she said seemed to be what Ye Yifan liked. Now that Ye Yifan disliked her so much, her mind was in turmoil.
Hua Kai and Ye Yifan got into the car. Ye Yifan stepped on the gas and drove quite a distance before stopping, not knowing where they were. He then turned around and hugged Hua Kai, saying, "Kai Kai, don't leave me."
Hua Kai touched Ye Yifan's face: "Where would I go if I left you? Besides, I can't bear to leave you. Don't worry, I'll be by your side no matter what. I'll face everything with you. Anyone who bullies you is going against me."
Ye Yifan smiled: "Okay, then I'll rely on you from now on, heroine."
"A female knight-errant isn't someone who meddles in everyone's business, you know?"
"Okay, shall we go to the store?"
"Okay, let's go to the store. We need to make the business successful and show those people what we're made of."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Hua Kai and Ye Yifan took the bus to the store on Zhongjie Street. Li Jing happened to be there, so she explained the situation to Hua Kai. Everything went smoothly, which put Hua Kai at ease. She was going out to order another set of festive work clothes for the employees for the New Year.
Hua Kai discovered that Li Jing was quite resourceful. Originally, she only wanted to help her make money, but now she realized that Li Jing was also a great help to her. In any case, she wouldn't let her down in the future.
After Li Jing left, Hua Kai and Ye Yifan went to the office to sit and talk about things at the store.
Back at Ye Yifan's house that evening, Hua Qingyi had already prepared his things to go home. He was going back the next day for the New Year, and he really wanted to go back.
Since Hua Qingyi was taking the train back by himself, Hua Kai didn't ask him to take anything else. If he needed anything, Ye Yifan could take it when he drove back.
In the evening, Hua Kai and Hua Qingyi sat in the living room talking about some things at home.
