However, Hua Kai was also uncomfortable with Xiao He's last words. Even if Ye Yifan spent the old man's money and lost money, what business was it of theirs? Did they not raise Ye Yifan but still covet the old man's property?
Hua Kai knew that Ye Yifan didn't care about his grandfather's inheritance, but she didn't expect that his biological parents had quite a few schemes, which made Hua Kai feel sorry for Ye Yifan.
She said to Xiao He, "Don't worry, Aunt Xiao. If our shops in the provincial capital don't have enough money, we can apply for a loan from the bank. Our business income is still good, so getting a loan won't be difficult."
"A loan? Those have interest rates. Can you really guarantee you'll make money? What if you lose money?"
“Aunt Xiao, business is inherently risky, but don’t worry, we know what we’re doing, and I won’t let Ye Yifan lose money.”
"That sounds nice, but you can't guarantee this. No, I have to have a serious talk with Xiao Fan about this."
"Ye Yifan is expected to be back this afternoon. He's been in the provincial capital on business these past few days. But let me give you a piece of advice: trust your son, give him some affection, and I think you'll gain more in return."
"Do I need you to lecture me? And this Xiao Fan, he doesn't even know to come home after returning to the provincial capital. He really doesn't treat us like family at all."
"Aunt Xiao, do you consider him family?"
These words immediately touched a nerve with Xiao He: "What did you say? What do you mean? I am Ye Yifan's biological mother, we are family."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Relationships between people are reciprocal, so when someone treats you like family, you have to be honest with yourself and say that you've done it."
Xiao He's temper flared up: "Hua Kai, I'll teach you a lesson, are you still planning to keep this up? I'm Ye Yifan's mother, how I get along with my son is none of your business!"
Hua Kai said, "I'm Ye Yifan's friend, and I know a lot about his affairs. The Fang family has already caused me trouble before. They've been constantly exploiting Ye Yifan, setting traps for him, and even trying to marry Fang Nana to him, binding him to the Fang family for life. If you care about Ye Yifan, then you should know what kind of woman your son should marry. Fang Nana isn't his type. But what are you focusing on? A lot of the information you have about the Fang family and Ye Yifan came from Fang Lanlan, right? Fang Lanlan usurped the position, and you want both a son and a daughter. Who cares about Ye Yifan?"
These words made Xiao He's face burn, because she truly wanted both a son and a daughter. She hadn't sent Fang Lanlan away because she wanted a daughter to be close to her, partly because of affection. She knew Ye Yifan was unhappy about this, but she felt that things would get better with time. Unlike having multiple sons or daughters, she only needed to provide a dowry and didn't need to worry about marriage or children. Ye Yifan should understand her.
But over the years, Ye Yifan has never been able to resolve this issue, and Fang Lanlan is truly well-behaved and sensible, which is even more pitiful. Her family is so poor, and who knows how her family will mistreat her when she goes back.
My family is well-off, and raising another girl would be a burden. If Ye Yifan comes back, I will also provide him with good conditions. Isn't that a good thing?
She always felt that Ye Yifan was stubborn and that it was because the old man spoiled him. Ye Yifan didn't want to go home, so the old man wouldn't let him go back and even transferred Ye Yifan's household registration there. Whether it was going to school or anything else, it was all arranged by the old man. Xiao He also had objections to this. She couldn't even fulfill her responsibilities to her own son.
But she didn't dare to go against the old man, and Ye Yifan wasn't close to her, so what could she do? She had suffered a lot over the years.
Thinking about all this, Xiao He felt that she hadn't done anything wrong. She hadn't had it easy either. She was just kind-hearted and wanted Fang Lanlan to have a better life. After all, Fang Lanlan was her adopted daughter. What had she done wrong?
She looked at the blooming flowers and said, "I won't agree to the Fang family's ideas, but these have nothing to do with Lanlan. I know the Fang family is poor and greedy, but they can't decide Xiao Fan's marriage. I've always cared about my son. If I didn't care about Xiao Fan, why would I be here looking for you?"
Hua Kai laughed: "Why weren't you here when Fang Nana was pestering Ye Yifan?"
"I don't know, and those things are simply impossible. Xiao Fan isn't stupid. If he doesn't agree, no one can force him."
"So you think someone who's only known Ye Yifan for a little over three months can force him? Well then, I'm pretty amazing."
Gu Xiaoxue started sweating as she listened to Hua Kai and Xiao He's conversation. Good heavens, even gods arguing can drag a little devil down with them! What should I say? I can't say anything; anything I say will be wrong.
However, I'm on Huakai's side, since Huakai always speaks up for Ye Yifan. I used to think Aunt Xiao was quite gentle, but now I see that Aunt Xiao is not simple at all; her words are too harsh.
Fortunately, Hua Kai is formidable and held her own. I need to report this to Ye Yifan. In the future, if there is any battle that requires our attention, we must ask Hua Kai to go. She is simply a god of war!
Xiao He was now completely overwhelmed by Hua Kai. She had already said almost everything she had prepared, and she hadn't expected Hua Kai to know so much about Ye Yifan. This little girl was really sharp; her words were always on point. Fortunately, she and Ye Yifan weren't in a relationship. Xiao He still believed Gu Xiaoxue's words. If this girl were her daughter-in-law, she was afraid she would be overshadowed by her.
At this moment, the waiter came in to serve the food, and they all fell silent.
Hua Kai didn't intend to have a serious falling out with her elders; she respected those she should respect and reasoned with those she should reason with.
Let's not talk about that now. Hua Kai served Xiao He a bowl of soup: "Aunt Xiao, have some soup before you eat to warm your stomach."
Seeing that Hua Kai's attitude had improved, Xiao He didn't say anything else: "Okay, thank you."
Gu Xiaoxue looked at the blooming flowers. This girl really impressed her. Just now she was like a fighting rooster, but now she can be so calm. This person's emotional management is really amazing.
Fan didn't see any of this, otherwise he would probably admire Hua Kai. That's why Fan is so amazing; he makes such capable friends.
Speaking of which, I need to have a good talk with Brother Fan in the future and help Hua Kai find a good man. Ordinary people are not good enough for her.
The meal went smoothly, and since it was getting late, Hua Kai went back to school with Gu Xiaoxue.
In the afternoon, Ye Yifan returned, but did not disturb Hua Kai's class. Instead, he went to Gu Xiaoxue's office and asked her about Hua Kai and Xiao He's situation that day.
Gu Xiaoxue vividly recounted the story of Hua Kai's battle against Xiao He today, her words flowing freely.
Ye Yifan laughed after hearing this: "This is the Hua Kai I know. I knew she wouldn't suffer a loss."
Gu Xiaoxue said, "It's not just that you didn't suffer a loss, but you also spoke up for yourself a lot. You said that Fang Lanlan had taken over your place, that Aunt Xiao didn't care about you enough, and that the Fang family wanted to tie you down."
