Although Hua Kai knew in her heart that she was bound to win, she couldn't gamble with her friend's marriage, nor did she have that right.
She said, "If I win, you won't interfere in Li Jing's marriage. If I lose, it should be my decision not to interfere. Li Jing is an independent person, and we have no right to gamble with her life's happiness. This is a gamble between us."
Feng Ying nodded: "Okay, it's settled then. Now you're playing the hero, but don't cry when you embarrass yourself. I can't stand your fake good guy act."
Hua Kai didn't care about Feng Ying's opinion, because a despicable person judges others as filthy, and what she thought didn't matter, since the matter was resolved anyway.
She just hadn't expected it to be resolved this way. She had originally planned to offer some grand principles or use some methods, even suggesting that Li Jing would go out and earn money and give some to the family, to tempt Feng Ying. Little did she know that it would turn into a gamble, one in which she was guaranteed to win.
She looked at Feng Ying with a hint of mockery: "Okay, it's settled then. But we'll have to wait two days for the evidence. It's a holiday, and I can't possibly call Captain Ye over in the next couple of days. He's in the provincial capital. So, on the 7th, I'll have Captain Ye bring the evidence to me to prove it."
Feng Ying still didn't believe it, but she was prepared and said, "I know you know Captain Ye, and he might help you fabricate evidence. But I'm not completely ignorant. I'll find someone knowledgeable to examine your evidence. If it's fake, don't blame me for being polite."
Hua Kai said, "A bet's a bet, so let's meet here on the morning of the 7th to verify this." After saying that, she added, "Feng Ying, this has nothing to do with Feng Gu and Li Jing; it's purely my own idea."
Feng Ying laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know my mother-in-law and Li Jing. They don't have as many ideas as you. Even if you say it was their idea, I don't believe it. I just can't stand your smug attitude. You want to control everything? Who do you think you are?"
Hua Kai wasn't afraid of bringing the conflict onto herself; that was fine. She said, "Alright, if that's the case, I admire you. At least you're not truly confused. See you on the seventh; we'll see then."
Feng Ying said to Jiang Lanfeng in a cool tone, "Mom, I'm going home." Then she left without looking back.
Watching Feng Ying leave, Jiang Lanfeng finally came to her senses. She couldn't completely believe what Hua Kai said: "Hua Kai, I know you're doing this for Li Jinghao, but you're still too young. Feng Ying's uncle works at the township government. If you use fake documents, you won't be able to fool him. You'll look bad then. Actually, even if you meet, it might not work out. I just want to make it look good for both sides. Let's meet and see what happens."
Hua Kai knew she couldn't let them see each other; she had to cut things off from the beginning. Although the original owner's diary didn't explain why the marriage had happened so quickly, the man's side was definitely not being honest.
She said to Jiang Lanfeng, "Aunt Feng, I really want to take Li Jing out to explore the world. It's too early to start looking for a partner. Once we start going on blind dates, people will have to introduce her to potential partners. So, since we're going to go to the city anyway, let's not start this. Don't worry, I'll help Li Jing find a husband in the city later."
Li Jing had complete faith in Hua Kai and said, "Hua Kai, I believe in you. I'll follow you from now on."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Yes, I'll treat you to the best of everything from now on. Oh, by the way, when Captain Ye brought me back, he brought some pineapples and apples for my family. My mom asked me to bring some over to you." She mentioned this to make Jiang Lanfeng more confident in her relationship with Ye Yifan.
Jiang Lanfeng looked at the things on the table: "Huakai, are you really that familiar with Captain Ye?"
Hua Kai nodded: "Yes, I used to be self-taught in design. This time, Captain Ye bought a factory, which is perfect for using my skills without interfering with my studies. So, consider it my investment in the company. Of course, I guarantee that they will take the majority of the shares, and I will only take one or two percent. But there's no problem arranging for Li Jing to work here."
Hearing this, Jiang Lanfeng believed it more: "Fenggu doesn't know much about these things, but Fenggu believes you are capable."
Hua Kai hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Feng Gu, I may have acted impulsively just now, and I have to apologize to you. I may have caused conflict between you and your daughter-in-law."
Jiang Lanfeng sighed: "Hey, don't say that. I know you're doing this for Li Jing's sake, otherwise you wouldn't have needed to get involved. I always gave in before, but today I see that giving in all the time might not be of any use."
Hua Kai didn't want to get involved in other people's family conflicts. No matter how bad things were, they were still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. So she said, "Aunt Feng, I don't understand mother-in-law and daughter-in-law matters, but Li Jing is still very young and has a lot of future ahead of her. Look at my brother, he's only just started studying now. Society is different now. Once you go out into the world, there will always be more opportunities. Aunt Feng, your daughter will be your support in the future. She may not be any worse than your son."
Jiang Lanfeng's smile was bitter: "Sigh, I used to think that having many children meant many blessings, but now I realize that having too many sons is not a good thing. Of my four daughters-in-law, only my third son's wife is okay with me. The other three all have their own agendas. My fifth son is also of marriageable age, and I'm getting scared."
Hua Kai doesn't really understand these mother-in-law/daughter-in-law/sister-in-law relationships, but she knows one thing: as long as the elderly have money, if the daughter-in-law has ulterior motives, she'll be willing to come back. Let's not talk about whether it's genuine or not; at least they can visit each other often.
She said to Jiang Lanfeng, "Aunt Feng, if you and Uncle earn more money, their attitude will probably change. Putting aside everything else, if you have more money, you can buy things for your grandson more often, and the child will come over more often and speak well of you. Over time, this will improve your relationship."
Jiang Lanfeng sighed: "If only your uncle and I had that ability. We're not as smart as your parents, who are quick to make money. We don't have any skills or brains, so we have nowhere to make money."
Hua Kai said, "Feng Gu, making money isn't difficult as long as you have the right approach. Why don't you go to the market with my parents after the autumn harvest and see if there's any business that you and your uncle can do, one that suits your time and energy? And if you've decided what to do, I'll give you some advice."
The other person is not young, and I'm not sure if they have any hidden illnesses or things they particularly dislike doing. It's better to give them some direction and let them choose for themselves than to directly give them directions.
Jiang Lanfeng listened with interest, but also with concern: "Do you think this will work? I see that the market sells all kinds of things. If we do the same business as others, will we still be able to make money?"
Hua Kai said, "Feng Gu, business is about competition, that's normal. For example, both sell clothes, but one focuses on high quality and the other focuses on low prices. They cater to different customers, but both make money."
Jiang Lanfeng listened attentively to Hua Kai's explanations and was intrigued: "Then can I do it well?"
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Feng Gu, when our family first started going to the market, did you really think it would work? And what happened?"
Hearing this, Jiang Lanfeng laughed: "That's right. When I first heard you say that, I thought it would be a good idea since there was no cost involved. I never expected it to be so successful. Huakai, I trust you, but I don't know anything about this, so I'll inevitably have to trouble you all."
