Later, Zhao Hong took me a few more times, but Old Man Gu clearly didn't want to help. He would chat and laugh, but when it came to serious matters, he wouldn't respond.

The last time, Gu Dongfang happened to be looking for Yan Kai, and Wang Guihua simply didn't let them into the courtyard. Of course, Wang Dabao didn't know the backstory and thought the old man was ignoring them, so he cursed angrily and dumped Zhao Hong as soon as he got back.

No matter how much Zhao Hong cried and pleaded, Wang Dabao didn't look back. She was like a wilted flower, not particularly attractive, only knew how to spend his money, and couldn't help him at all, so why keep her around?

After breaking up with Zhao Hong, Wang Dabao started thinking about getting back with his ex-wife. After all, they had been married for years and had a son. Most importantly, she was great at business and making money.

He thought that if he sincerely admitted his mistakes, it wouldn't be hard to remarry her, and once he had money, he could find any beautiful woman he wanted.

What he found out shocked him; his ex had opened a hotel! So he rushed over.

Guihua pointed at the door, "Get out right now! We're divorced. What I do is none of your business!"

"Honey, you can't say that. You threw me out with nothing, and now you have your business. Weren't we married? What's yours is mine, right?" Wang Dabao grinned as he reached for his ex-wife's arm.

Guihua was furious, pointing at his nose, yelling, "Shameless bastard! Do you not know how our family's money was earned? The opportunities provided by my family were lent to me as capital, and you just enjoyed it. I made most of the business decisions. Thanks to you, didn't you get the house in the city? Could you have earned a two or three million apartment on your own? Don't be so shameless! I gave you a house for nothing, and wasn't the money you spent on women ours too? I've never asked you for child support either!"

In front of so many people, Wang Dabao felt embarrassed and muttered, "You'd better agree to give me half of the hotel, or else I won't leave. I'll cause trouble every day and make sure you can't do business!"

Hearing this, Guihua's face turned green with anger, and she gritted her teeth, charging forward, "I'll kill you!"

Seeing a fight about to start, Sun Chan quickly stopped Guihua, "Big sister, don't fight. It's the first day of opening; if you make a scene, it won't look good or be auspicious. Don't stoop to his level!"

"So what? Let this beast ruin my business?"

"I'll go talk to him." Sun Chan strode over.

Seeing Sun Chan, Wang Dabao's eyes squinted at her. This girl looked better every time he met her.

Sun Chan had always been quite pretty, but when she first came from the village, she was timid and introverted, with hair covering most of her face, wearing old-fashioned clothes that didn't do her justice. Now, she had blossomed like a flower.

Wang Dabao instantly forgot about the beating he received last time and stepped forward to speak.

Before he could say anything, Sun Chan spoke, "I've been remembering the day you tried to molest me, behaving like a hooligan! If you don't leave now, I'll report you to the police station. I'll have them capture and execute you! You know that being a hooligan isn't a minor offense, right?"

"What did you say..." Seeing her cold expression, he was dumbfounded and struck silent.

"If you have any ability, make money yourself. If you don't, then live a good life. Why must you rely on women? It's really contemptible. When I first met you, I thought you had some decency, but now I see you're truly shameless. If you don't leave now, I'll call the police!" Sun Chan said coldly.

Han Dong also walked over, "Did this guy bully you? I'll deal with him!" His eyes narrowed with a murderous look.

Wang Dabao was already not very brave, and with Han Dong's demeanor, he was startled and started backing away in fear.

Yang Liu also came over at this time, "Since he was being a hooligan, go ahead and report him! Get him out so he doesn't disrupt our business."

"No, no, don't call the police! I'm leaving, I'm leaving now!" Wang Dabao was so frightened he scrambled away.

Guihua tried to hit him several times but was stopped.

Sun Chan had no intention of blowing the whole thing up either. She certainly didn't want Guihua's son to have a father who went to jail, so it was just a scare tactic. After all, they weren't heartless people.

Once he was gone, everything quieted down.

Guihua angrily pounded the table with her fist, "That shameless scoundrel! How was I so blind to marry him back then?"

"Big sister! Today is a good day; why do this to yourself? Let's happily do business. Look, we have so many customers." Sun Chan smiled, "Look, we've all been busy all day, when can we have some good food to celebrate?"

"Alright, I get it. I'm on it. You're pretty good with words." Guihua smiled as she glanced at Sun Chan, who was now also fond of joking.

That night, after they were finished with their work, they laid out a table in the hotel's first-floor lobby, full of dishes they loved.

After dinner, Han Dong was going to drive them back. Guihua wanted to return to her family since several brothers were busy and could not come to help until the next day, so Han Dong drove Sun Chan and Yang Liu back to their house.

Sun Chan got up very early in the morning, so she quickly fell asleep against the window. Along the way, Yang Liu and Han Dong chatted. Both were jovial and had a lively exchange. Sometimes, Han Dong glanced out the window, and Yang Liu thought he was admiring the snowy landscape. But she didn't know that what the window glass reflected was Sun Chan's figure.

Once home, Han Dong didn't stop and went straight back.

The two girls washed up quickly and went to sleep on the kang (a traditional heated bed).

Inside, large logs were burning, sent by Guihua's family, making it very warm. Yang Liu lay awake in bed, unable to sleep.

Sun Chan asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is it too hot on the kang?"

"No," Yang Liu smiled sheepishly, "It's just... I have something I want to ask you."

"Go ahead, ask."

"Han Dong... does he have a girlfriend?"

Sun Chan was first stunned, then laughed, "You've taken a fancy to him, haven't you?"

Yang Liu murmured, "Yes. I think he's quite nice. Can you help me find out what he thinks? If he doesn't like me, I won't cling on."

Sun Chan quickly said, "Be a bit more confident; you're so lovely. He's bound to like you. I should have thought of it sooner. I'll ask him for you later." She was confident that Han Dong, who hadn't looked down on her back when she had nothing but a caregiver job, would surely appreciate Yang Liu as well.
