"Who is that woman? How did you two meet?"

Xia Yichu asked curiously, the girl was dressed very simply and looked very young, she didn't look like someone Gu Yunting knew from business dealings.

"Sister-in-law, she just graduated from university this year, just like you. We met during the Spring Festival when she was working as a waitress at a restaurant during her winter break."

When the food was served, she clumsily spilled soup on me. I was furious and wanted to find her manager. She said she didn't do it on purpose and begged me to let it go, but I refused. Then she changed her attitude and started talking to me in a completely different way.

She said it was because I touched her that she spilled soup on me. We had a huge argument on the spot, and she was eventually fired by the manager.

Xia Yichu knew that Gu Yunting hadn't finished speaking. If that were all there was to it, then the two of them wouldn't have crossed paths today.

Sure enough, after taking a bite of his food, Gu Yunting continued, "I have never seen such a stubborn person before. That day, she waited for me at the restaurant entrance and came to argue with me about what had just happened."

I found her annoying, so I gave her a hundred yuan to get rid of her. She felt insulted by the money. She demanded an apology, and when I refused, she started swearing at me and even tried to hit me.

Even now, Gu Yunting still finds it funny when he thinks about it.

"Gu Yunting, you haven't fallen for her, have you?"

Pei Shizhou made a surprising remark from the side; he wasn't one to speak casually.

"How could that be, Shi Zhou? Don't talk nonsense. I just think she's very special; her personality is unlike any other girl I've ever met."

Wang Xiangyu graduated this year, and Gu Yunting thought she would come to him for help getting a job at their company. But she didn't; she found a job at a small company on her own. She only came to ask Gu Yunting for help the day before yesterday because of her cousin's situation.

"That would be for the best. Don't forget you have a wife and children."

"I understand, I'll keep my distance from her. Wang Xiangyu came to thank me today because of her cousin's matter; we don't usually keep in touch."

Wang Xiangyu's cousin got into a fight and ended up in jail; her aunt passed away from illness; and her cousin's father remarried. Neither of them cared for her cousin, causing him to frequently skip school and go out to play.

This time, she got into a fight with several classmates who were also skipping class, and they were all arrested and taken to the police station. Wang Xiangyu's cousin told her not to tell her family, but Wang Xiangyu knew that Gu Yunting was capable, so she had no choice but to ask him for help to get her cousin out.

"What did you say her name was?"

Xia Yichu was shocked. In her previous life, after Pei Shizhou was too tired to manage the company, he handed it over to Gu Yunting.

News reports say that Gu Yunting has a capable secretary named Wang Xiangyu. Xia Yichu had only heard her name in her previous life but had never seen her in person.

"Her name is Wang Xiangyu, sister-in-law. What's wrong? Do you know her?"

"Don't know him/her"

Xia Yichu looked at Gu Yunting with the eyes of someone looking at a scumbag, leaving Gu Yunting completely bewildered. Just as he was about to ask Xia Yichu a question, he heard Pei Shizhou's voice beside him.

"By the way, how's Pei Zongna doing lately?"

"Feng Yarou went to see her several times, even hitting and scolding her. Pei Zongna just wouldn't give in and insisted on fighting her for the house. Pei Zongna sued her in court, and the court's ruling has been issued."

Because you relinquished Pei Feng's house, the court ruled that Feng Yarou and Pei Zongna should each own half of Pei Feng's house.

Pei Feng's house was built on land purchased after he married Feng Yarou. It's considered marital property. If Pei Shizhou hadn't found a lawyer for Pei Zongna, she wouldn't have received half of the house.

"Will Feng Yarou be willing to accept that?"

Xia Yichu learned about their situation from Pei Shizhou. Now that Pei Feng and Chen Xinjun were both severely injured, Feng Yarou wanted to live off Pei Feng's house. She definitely didn't want to, watching helplessly as the house she was about to get slipped away.

"No, she's been making trouble for Pei Zongna every few days. But no matter how much she causes trouble, Pei Zongna won't budge and has told her to come up with the money to buy the other half of the house."

Pei Zongna was certain that she couldn't come up with the money, and the matter remained at a stalemate.

"Furthermore, as far as I know, Pei Zongna and her husband are discussing divorce. I guess after the divorce, Pei Zongna might move into Pei Feng's house."

It seems that the rest of the Pei family also have their eyes on Pei Feng's house and are planning to move in with the whole family.

It's going to be quite exciting then; it probably won't be easy for Pei Zongna and her daughter to move in peacefully."

Gu Yunting said gloatingly, "At first, I couldn't understand why Pei Shizhou didn't compete with us for Pei Feng's house. Now I realize that Pei Shizhou was thinking ahead; otherwise, we'd be in a lot of trouble now."

What Gu Yunting didn't know was that Pei Shizhou didn't want a single needle or thread from Pei Feng. Even if doing so might upset Feng Yarou, he still didn't want it.

Gu Yunting was right. Last night, Pei Hai and Pei Tao's families canceled their rented house and moved in with Pei Feng's house key.

Pei Zongna and Feng Yarou, mother and daughter, were unaware of this, but the two families happily cooked a meal together today.

Pei Hai is the eldest brother, and his family has two sons. So they all live upstairs, which has three rooms and a living room.

There was only one room and one study downstairs, but they didn't mind that there wasn't enough room to sleep, so they slept on the sofa and the floor.

Regardless, Pei Feng's home was in a much better environment than their rented apartment. Most importantly, there was no rent, making life extremely convenient, with a market and other amenities nearby.

By the time Pei Zongna discovered this, they had already been staying at Pei Feng's house for a week. Today, Pei Zongna finally got a divorce. She hired a tricycle, packed her things, and left her ex-husband's house.

She brought her several-month-old daughter home, and just as she was about to take out her key to open the door, it opened easily with a gentle push. She was stunned by the state of the house. It was a mess, and there was an unpleasant odor.

There were many things on the ground, bags and pouches, but I couldn't tell what they were. It seemed like the smell was coming from there.

Pei Zongna covered her nose and went over to check. She first put her daughter on the sofa. Seeing that the sofa was dirty, she took one of her own clothes and spread it on before putting her daughter on it.

Just as Pei Zongna's hand was about to touch the bag, someone walked in through the door.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

"Pei Qinghua, what are you doing here?"

Pei Qinghua and Pei Hai's eldest grandson, who is twelve years old this year, had just gone out to play. When he came back and saw the door open, he quickly ran in.

"This is my home, it's not normal for me to be here."

Pei Qinghua said provocatively that he was already twelve years old and knew everything. When he was a child, he would visit his uncle's house, and Pei Zongna would look down on them for being country bumpkins. Every time they came to their house, she would act superior.

They say they're dirty, that you can't touch this or that, and that talking to them is annoying.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my home. When did it become your home?"

"Those are the words my grandfather and second uncle said. Aunt, what brings you to my house today?"

Pei Zongna was furious. She wondered if her mother had been involved in her uncles moving in. That idiot mother of hers, didn't she know that inviting a god in was easy, but sending him away was difficult?

"What's that on the ground?"

Pei Zongna didn't want to argue with Pei Qinghua, thinking she'd deal with it when her uncles returned. But the things on the ground had to be removed immediately, lest they offend her daughter's odor.

"The things on the ground are scraps that my grandma picked up and bought. Be careful not to step on them and break them."
