Ning Xi and Teacher Dai enjoyed the meal very relaxed.

Dai Yilan was so happy that she couldn't help but eat until she was stuffed.

She said fiercely to Ning Xi that social scum like Wen Jingyan should spend his whole life working on a sewing machine.

Ning Xi raised her drink and clinked glasses with Teacher Dai.

That's what she thought too.

The unease and fear that had been building up in their hearts disappeared when the Wen family's incident occurred.

Ning Xi suddenly remembered the phone call from He Kezhou last night.

He vaguely guessed that the Wen family's troubles might be related to He Kezhou.

He Kezhou's words, "I'm not afraid of her causing him trouble, I can solve any trouble for her," echoed in my ears.

Ning Xi picked up her phone, ready to send a message to He Kezhou to ask if he had eaten lunch.

Before she could even open the chat window, He Kezhou's message popped up.

The boxed lunch in the chat box contains meat, vegetables, and soup, providing a well-balanced nutritional intake.

Immediately following this was a message from him transferring money to her via Alipay.

Ning Xi blinked as she looked at the wages he handed in and the pay slips he received.

He Kezhou didn't keep a single penny of his salary for himself; he transferred it all to her.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that his monthly salary was equivalent to three or four months of hers.

Ning Xi held her phone and transferred half of her salary back to He Kezhou, telling him to keep it for living expenses.

He Kezhou only kept 2000.

Dai Yilan caught a glimpse of their conversation out of the corner of her eye, and stroked her chin inwardly, thinking: Men who know how to cherish their wives all have one thing in common: absolute self-awareness.

Ning Xi looked at the ever-increasing amount of money in her account and couldn't help but smile.

She discovered that she was also a money-grubber.

She didn't keep messaging He Kezhou.

He Kezhou was injured in a car accident and didn't go to work for a whole week.

The renovation project at the car dealership is in its mid-stage, and he has been very busy during the two days she has been resting.

Dai Yilan propped her cheek up as she watched Ning Xi put down her phone. She smiled and forked a piece of fruit salad to her lips, saying to Ning Xi, "Xi Bao, the way you smile when you reply to your boyfriend's messages is so gentle. You can't hide the love in your eyes."

Ning Xi pinched her ear, feeling a little embarrassed.

Was she making it that obvious?

Dai Yilan guessed Ning Xi's thoughts and nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "It's super obvious."

Knowing that Ning Xi was easily embarrassed, Dai Yilan stopped teasing her.

After the July Dance Troupe's charity performance ended, they had about a week to rest and regroup, which they used to adjust their mindset and review the work related to the performance.

After this week's work is over, they will have summer vacation.

According to past practice, they can rest for 15 to 25 days.

The specific leave arrangements for each person depend on their work schedule.

Dai Yilan asked Ning Xi, "Xi Bao, what are your plans for summer vacation?"

Ning Xi knew that Teacher Dai had already booked plane tickets and was preparing to take the children and family out to escape the summer heat.

Summers in the new city are unbearably hot.

Ning Xi thought about it and decided that she would go back to Hemeng for a week to keep her aunt company.

If my aunt wants to go on a trip, they will go on a trip.

During the rest of her vacation, she will stay home and write articles.

Her previously submitted manuscript was approved, and she received her first payment.

This gave Ning Xi a lot of confidence.

Since working part-time outside the home is risky, she decided to develop a side business at home.

After hearing Ning Xi's plan, Dai Yilan blinked and asked, "Don't you consider taking a romantic trip with your boyfriend?"

Ning Xi had a feeling that He Kezhou's car dealership would be particularly busy during the summer vacation.

Plans can never keep up with changes, so let's make this plan for now. If He Kezhou has time off, they can go out and have fun too.

I'll adjust it later if I think of anything else.

It was too hot, so Ning Xi and Teacher Dai left the restaurant, shopped at the mall for about an hour, and then decided to go home separately.

Ning Xi didn't drive; she took the subway.

As she exited the subway station, holding her umbrella, she felt like she was being roasted by the sun.

Looking at the rows of electric bikes parked outside the subway entrance, she thought of He Kezhou's electric bike.

Ever since he had the accident while riding his electric scooter, she had completely forgotten about it.

Ning Xi found the electric scooter in the building's bicycle shed.

The black electric scooter was leaning precariously in the shed, its headlights shattered into a spiderweb pattern, its body covered in scratches of varying depths, and its tires flat.

The chassis looks badly damaged; I don't know if it's still usable.

Ning Xi went home to get the electric scooter keys, wanting to see if she could still ride it.

After riding for about ten meters, she felt that the bike could still be used if she inflated the tires.

She remembered that there was an electric vehicle shop near the car dealership.

Ning Xi leisurely rode her electric scooter over to pump up the tires.

When she arrived at the store, the owner checked all the tires for her.

The tire wasn't punctured.

After pumping up the air, Ning Xi scanned the code to prepare to pay.

The shop owner waved his hand, "Inflating tires is free."

Ning Xi was a little embarrassed. "Boss, please just take a little something."

The boss couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This girl is so honest.

He gestured with his chin toward the two large baskets of bright red nectarines at the shop entrance, pointed to the baskets, and asked with a smile, "Do you like nectarines? They're picked from our own orchard, have a couple to try."

A piece of cardboard was placed on top of the nectarine, with the price written on it in scribbles with a marker.

Ning Xi knew that the boss was selling these items as a side business.

She asked for a bag and weighed quite a bit.

The shop owner readily washed a large, red nectarine for her, saying, "There's been a lot of rain this year, so these peaches aren't as sweet as they used to be."

He was afraid that Ning Xi would buy too much and waste money if she didn't like it.

Ning Xi took a bite of the peach; it was crisp and sweet.

It wasn't unsweet at all, just as the boss had said.

It's quite delicious.

After weighing them, the shopkeeper stuffed two more into Ning Xi's bag.

Buy one get one free.

Heavy peaches hung on the handlebars as Ning Xi went to the car dealership to find He Kezhou.

With lots of cars and pedestrians around, the construction workers can also enjoy these peaches.

She bought extra on purpose.

After parking her electric scooter, Ning Xi, carrying a bag of peaches, looked up at the newly renovated car dealership where workers were still working hard to complete the project, and gently curved the corners of her lips into a smile.

This old street, which was originally gray and dilapidated, has lost some of its dilapidated and old appearance thanks to the newly renovated shops of the car dealership.

Before they even got close, Zhou Zhishui's impatient, high-pitched shouts drifted clearly from the car dealership.

Zhou Zhishui threw the cardboard box on the ground, her chest heaving violently. She stared intently at Meng Yizhen, who sat in a chair covered in bruises, her words dripping with anger: "This kind of relationship is something even a dog wouldn't do!"

"Tell me yourself, in order to help Lan Zheng clean up Jiang Yuanhao's mess, you went back to the capital and were unilaterally beaten by Jiang Yuanhao at the Jiang family home for a full three hours."

For three whole hours, he didn't fight back or utter a sound.

If it weren't for Grandpa Jiang's intervention, Meng Yizhen would have been injured even more severely.

This incident caused quite a stir in the Jiang family.

When Grandpa Jiang heard that Jiang Yuanhao and Meng Yizhen had turned on each other because of a woman, he was so angry that he almost ended up in the hospital.

Zhou Zhishui learned from Chen Xufei why Jiang Yuanhao's manhood was destroyed by Lan Zheng.

Lan Zheng's fellow disciple was taken to a hotel by Jiang Yuanhao using unsavory methods.

It's not hard to guess what happened.

The Jiang and Meng families were thrown into chaos because of Jiang Yuanhao and Meng Yizhen.

Meng Yizhen clearly had a better way to deal with Jiang Yuanhao, but she chose this move that hurt the enemy a thousand while also injuring herself eight hundred.

Jiang Yuanhao didn't even realize that he had been set up by Meng Yizhen.

By the time they realized what was happening, their parents had already "arranged" for them to go abroad to avoid the limelight.

Meng Yizhen returned to Xincheng covered in injuries, and it was he who went to the airport to pick her up.

Zhou Zhishui took half a step forward, her eyes red with anger. "Flesh injuries are one thing, but you almost broke two bones! When have you ever suffered such humiliation?"

"What is it about Lan Zheng that makes you so devoted and trusting? She betrayed you first, and only turned back to you after things went wrong. Even though she's divorced now and has severed ties with Su Chongzhao, she still doesn't deserve your forgiveness and reconciliation!"

Meng Yizhen was getting a headache from Zhou Zhishui's yelling.

"When did I ever say I wanted to make up with her?"

Zhou Zhishui's voice suddenly rose: "Do you even believe what you're saying?"

Meng Yizhen lifted her eyelids, her gaze calm.

Zhou Zhishui was stunned for a moment.

Meng Yizhen's eyes made it clear to him that he had no intention of getting back together with Lan Zheng.

Mentioning Lan Zheng, the intense hatred in Meng Yizhen's eyes disappeared.

This calm, which revealed neither joy nor anger, made Zhou Zhishui feel uneasy, as she couldn't fathom his true thoughts at all.

He clicked his tongue, thinking that feelings were such a complicated thing.

He crouched on the ground, clutching his head: "Brother Zhou was in a relationship, and he wanted me to run him over with a car, to risk my life using a self-inflicted injury scheme."

"You didn't even say goodbye before returning to the capital to clean up Lan Zheng's mess, and came back covered in injuries."

Zhou Zhishui hung his head, feeling that emotions could be very harmful.

Ning Ximai's footsteps, which were heading towards the car dealership's gate, suddenly froze on the spot, and he abruptly stopped.

Zhou Zhishui, who was crouching down with her back turned, did not notice Ning Xi immediately.

Meng Yizhen caught a glimpse of someone standing at the entrance of the car dealership out of the corner of her eye and glanced up.

Upon seeing Ning Xi appear in his line of sight with an umbrella, he frowned slightly: "Zhou Zhishui."
