Liu Kai Xuan was quite clear about Chen Yue’s personality.
Although the woman appeared easy-going, it was merely a facade.
Once she made up her mind, it was difficult for others to change it.
It was like when they first opened their restaurant; they knew there were issues with their management.
However, they completely ignored the "problems" Liu Kai Xuan pointed out.
His earnest advice was all treated as wind in their ears.
The restaurant eventually failed, and by then, regret was useless.
This time, even if Zhao Feiyan went to talk to Jiang Aiying about the matter, the effect wouldn't be significant.
Still, some things had to be said.
If everything was made clear in advance, then if they messed it up themselves, they would bear all the responsibility and wouldn't have to blame others.
Of course, there was another layer to it.
The elder Zhao couple had taken good care of Liu Kai Xuan over the years.
Although their help had diminishing returns on his ever-growing enterprise, Liu Kai Xuan never forgot their kindness and willingness to assist.
For that reason alone, Liu Kai Xuan couldn't stand by and watch the Liu family's assets suffer losses without doing anything.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after lying in the hospital for a few days, Qin Huairu's symptoms suddenly and inexplicably began to subside.
Her swollen legs, which had been unbearable, rapidly reduced in size overnight.
Moreover, the severe pain she felt in her body also receded by more than half.
This scene even stunned the doctors in the hospital: it was a miracle in medical history!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed it was real?
Due to her severe illness, Qin Huairu had been unable to eat for several consecutive days.
Now that her physical condition had recovered, Qin Huairu regained her ability to eat.
Xiao Huaihua specially went out and bought breakfast items like steamed buns and congee.
To their surprise, Qin Huairu herself ate seven steamed buns in one sitting.
If Xiao Huaihua hadn't worried about her overeating and harming her body, she would have finished the last one too.
After eating several steamed buns and a large bowl of congee, Qin Huairu's strength also returned.
Initially, she needed Xiao Huaihua to support her to get out of bed.
After about ten minutes of adapting, she could walk as fast as she wanted, even without Xiao Huaihua’s support.
"Great, this is truly wonderful!"
Qin Huairu was overjoyed, unable to stop smiling: "Heaven has opened its eyes, the heavens have opened their eyes!"
Xiao Huaihua had no money to pay Qin Huairu's medical expenses, and Qin Huairu's previous insistence on staying in the hospital was merely waiting to die.
Now that her body had miraculously recovered, Qin Huairu naturally didn't want to stay there for another second.
That very morning, Qin Huairu was discharged and went home.
In the past couple of days, while Qin Huairu lay in the hospital, not a single person had visited her.
Even Silly Zhu, the ultimate sycophant of the courtyard, had completely forgotten about Qin Huairu.
After returning from the hospital, Qin Huairu discovered that all the neighbors in the courtyard were busy with investment matters.
Coincidentally, Qin Huairu's discharge timing was perfect, as You Fengxia's investment plan was not yet completely concluded.
Since all the other households were participating in this lucrative project, Qin Huairu certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
After experiencing the near-death ordeal of the past few days, Qin Huairu finally understood.
She had to hold money firmly in her own hands to truly live like a person.
Without money, her life was as cheap as grass.
The despair in Qin Huairu's heart while lying in the hospital bed waiting to die a few days ago was something only she could truly understand.
Investing required capital, but Qin Huairu had not a single cent now.
After careful consideration, Qin Huairu eventually pinned her hopes on Yi Zhonghai.
However, unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai's attitude was terrifyingly hostile.
"Qin Huairu, your life and death have nothing to do with me!"
"You want to borrow money from me? I'm short of money myself, humph!"
Qin Huairu patiently explained, "Yi Zhonghai, can you be reasonable?"
"No matter what, we are still family!"
"Although we've been through a lot of ups and downs over the years, as long as we two unite, all difficulties are temporary!"
"If I go invest and make a lot of money in the future, it will all be for our family!"
"No matter what, you have to believe me this time!"
Yi Zhonghai replied with a cold face, "If I really had money, I would invest it myself!"
"You can see that I don't have money to invest, and you expect me to give you money to invest?"
"Can you please wake up? Stop living in a dream all day!"
"Get out, get out, get out of here, don't let me see this jinx anymore!"
Yi Zhonghai, in a fit of rage, lunged forward and made a move as if to knock Qin Huairu to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Huairu quickly sidestepped to avoid Yi Zhonghai's attack.
Yi Zhonghai, missing his target, stumbled forward and fell head over heels.
The Yi Zhonghai of today was no longer the Yi Zhonghai of yesteryear.
The old man was now a venerable 67 years old.
His physical condition was extremely weak, and this fall completely debilitated him.
"I... why are you just standing there? Hurry and help me up!"
Yi Zhonghai struggled on the ground for a long time, unable to stand up again.
Helpless, he had to implore Qin Huairu for help.
Seeing this scene, Qin Huairu felt incredibly satisfied.
Her relationship with Yi Zhonghai had long since reached a point of irreconcilable conflict.
Before, when Qin Huairu was gravely ill and lying in the hospital for days, Yi Zhonghai had only made a perfunctory visit once!
As for the medical expenses for Qin Huairu's treatment, Yi Zhonghai had not contributed a single cent.
"Yi Zhonghai, you old scoundrel, you've done too much evil, and today, all of this is the retribution you deserve!"
"I..."
Yi Zhonghai, holding onto a chair by the door, struggled for a long time before finally managing to get up from the ground with great effort.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai clearly understood that continuing to argue with Qin Huairu would yield no advantage.
With his current frail body, he was no match for Qin Huairu.
Recognizing the situation, Yi Zhonghai could only swallow his pride and retreat into the house.
While Yi Zhonghai chose to endure, Qin Huairu had no intention of letting him off the hook so easily.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but mutter to herself: Now, the opportunity for revenge has finally arrived!
