“You know him too?” Qin Mucheng looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a thoughtful expression.

Qin Mucheng’s friend and she knew him?

“Shao Xiuqi?” Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and guessed. “When did he get a girlfriend?”

Shao Xiuqi was quite business-minded. He was also bold and daring. In the past few years, he has been involved in many industries, and his career has been smooth sailing.

There were a lot of scandals, but he never had a proper girlfriend.

“It’s not him.” Qin Mucheng shook his head.

Not Shao Xiuqi?

“Could it be Cao Xiangrong?” Ji Yuanyuan frowned and probed.

Qin Mucheng did not have many friends to begin with, and she knew even less. Therefore, other than Shao Xiuqi, she could only think of Cao Xiangrong. Before Qin Mucheng could say anything, Qin Haowen came over after washing his hands. “It’s Xiangrong. Old Cao came to the company excitedly this morning and handed over the invitation. The girl is the only daughter of President Gu of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. President Gu promised to approve a loan to Shenghe after the wedding.”

“Is this a marriage alliance?” Cheng Shuqin asked curiously.

“Not really. The two of them weren’t introduced by their parents. They fall in love themselves.” Qin Haowen shook his head.

“That’s good.” Cheng Shuqin nodded thoughtfully.

She had always been against business marriages.

Could a man and a woman who had no feelings for each other be happy in their families if they were forced to be together for the sake of their respective families’ businesses?

She had seen many such things.

Most of the children born into such a family lacked love.

Ji Yuanyuan absentmindedly picked up some food for Qin Mucheng.

Qin Mucheng glanced at Ji Yuanyuan but did not say anything. He got up and went to the kitchen. After washing his hands, he ate quietly.

After dinner, Cheng Shuqin brought Tangtang along to continue reading the unfinished book.

Ji Yuanyuan came to the courtyard with a heavy heart. She held her phone and looked at Gao Qionghui’s contact information. She hesitated for a moment. Three years ago, Gao Qionghui and Cao Xiangrong got in touch at the Shao family’s scenic spot.

Shao Xiuqi and Qin Mucheng knew that Cao Xiangrong never rejected anyone. Furthermore, they looked down on Cao Xiangrong because of this.

Knowing that the two of them had contacted each other, Qin Mucheng even reminded Ji Yuanyuan about Cao Xiangrong’s rich love history.

Ji Yuanyuan did not want to interfere initially, but after some thought, she decided to remind Gao Qionghui.

Otherwise, if Gao Qionghui and Cao Xiangrong fell out in the future, she would probably suffer an undeserved calamity.

Moreover, Cao Xiangrong was obviously not a good match. She naturally did not want Gao Qionghui to fall into his trap.

Therefore, she had reminded Gao Qionghui. However, at that time, Gao Qionghui did not think much of it and claimed that she had never been after Cao Xiangrong’s feelings.

Because of this, she had even been at odds with her for a few days.

After that, she did not care about the matters between the two of them anymore.

In the past three years, the two of them had been on and off, entangled together.

Gao Qionghui had also benefited a lot. After graduating from her postgraduate studies last summer, she worked in a good hospital under the Cao family’s arrangements. Moreover, her life in the hospital had been sailing smoothly this year.

With an ordinary family background and having just worked for less than a year, she bought a two-bedroom apartment near her workplace.

It was obvious where the money came from.

In July, Gao Qionghui had mentioned Cao Xiangrong to her when they were chatting.

Gao Qionghui said that the weather in July was too hot, and Cao Xiangrong planned to buy her a car that cost around 100,000 yuan.

Cao Xiangrong was getting married in just two months.

She wondered if Gao Qionghui knew about this.

“Are you thinking about Gao Qionghui?” Just as Ji Yuanyuan was letting her imagination run wild, Qin Mucheng suddenly appeared behind her.

Ji Yuanyuan hid her phone behind his back with a guilty look on her face.

Her friend had gotten involved with Cao Xiangrong through her. She indeed felt a little guilty in front of Qin Mucheng.

“Neither Cao Xiangrong himself nor the elders of the Cao family allowed him to marry an ordinary person without any background. When Cao Xiangrong first got together with Gao Qionghui, he never thought about getting together. He was just fooling around.” Qin Mucheng said softly.

“I know.” Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and nodded.

Because of this incident, the relationship between Qin Mucheng and Cao Xiangrong had been strained for a while.

To Qin Mucheng, Cao Xiangrong was toying with his wife’s friend’s feelings. It was disrespectful not only to his wife but also to him.

However, no matter how much Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan objected, they could not stop the two of them from doing it willingly.

After all, the Qin family and the Cao family were business partners. It was not good to make their relationship too stiff.

Moreover, Cao Xiangrong knew he was guilty during that time and frequently sent gifts to the Qin family, giving Qin Mucheng enough face.

Therefore, half a year later, Qin Mucheng managed to regain contact with Cao Xiangrong.

“Back then, you reminded Gao Qionghui as well. Moreover, after so many years, Gao Qionghui should have known Cao Xiangrong’s intentions. Cao Xiangrong’s wedding is next weekend. It’s best not to cause any more trouble.” Qin Mucheng said softly.

Ji Yuanyuan knew what Qin Mucheng meant. He wanted her not to tell Gao Qionghui about this.

“Don’t worry,” Qin Mucheng said when he saw Ji Yuanyuan’s hesitation. “I’ll remind Cao Xiangrong to settle the matter between him and Gao Qionghui.” Ji Yuanyuan was silent for a moment before nodding.

She didn’t know if she was doing the right thing, but this world wasn’t black and white. There were too many ways of the world they needed to be wary of. Qin Mucheng patted her shoulder when he saw her expression. “Don’t think too much about it. Mom called a masseuse over. Didn’t you say that your neck hurt yesterday?”

Ji Yuanyuan responded and turned around to return to the house.

Qin Mucheng looked at Ji Yuanyuan’s back and only retracted his gaze after she entered the room.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Cao Xiangrong. “If my wife is unhappy, you won’t be able to live well either.”

Cao Xiangrong was the best at meditating, and hinting was useless against him.

If there was anything, he had to explain it clearly to him.

Cao Xiangrong replied quickly, “It’s settled. It won’t make things difficult for Sister-in-law. Don’t worry.”

Qin Mucheng looked at Cao Xiangrong’s message and kept his phone after a moment of silence.

1st October was Cao Xiangrong’s wedding.

Ji Yuanyuan had set the date for her shift to be on October 6th.

After attending Cao Xiangrong’s wedding on the first day, she could bring Tangtang to a faraway place for the remaining four days.

The Qin family and the Cao family had a close relationship. When Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan got married, Cao Xiangrong was the best man.

Therefore, on the wedding day, the entire Qin family went to attend the wedding.

The wedding venue was too noisy. There were salutes and speakers. Cheng Shuqin was afraid that Tangtang would be frightened, so she asked Ji Yuanyuan to send Tangtang to Li Xu and Zhang Kun’s place early in the morning..
