Xu Lan’s heart ached when she saw how unhappy Qian’e was. She had tried to counsel Qian’e many times but to no avail. Qian’e blamed herself for everything. If this continued, Qian’e would regress to the state she was in when she first lost her child!

“Mei Mei, I’m so anxious! Quickly think of a way! If this continues, her health will suffer!” Xu Lan said anxiously.

Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e, who was lying down moodily in the room, and comforted Xu Lan. “Don’t worry, she’s fine. She has survived so many big storms. She won’t take things too hard because of such a small matter.”

“Really? But I’m really worried about her. Go and talk to her!” Xu Lan said.

Qiao Mei brought some strawberries which were harvested from the greenhouse by the river into the bedroom. When Qian’e heard the sound, she looked up. When she saw that it was Qiao Mei, she lay back down.

“I have brought you some newly harvested strawberries. Try them. I’m thinking about making strawberry jam using the deformed strawberries,” Qiao Mei said.

Qian’e sighed and said, “In my current state, I don’t have the energy to go out and make money.”

“Xia You and I have successfully acquired the Han Corporation. Don’t you want to know where Han Chen is now?” Qiao Mei asked.

At the mention of Han Chen, Qian’e opened her eyes and stared at Qiao Mei for a long time. Then, she sighed and said, “Tell me. I have to know sooner or later.”

“The truth about Han Chen’s past has been exposed. He’s actually an adopted son. Du Juan and Han Kuo had run away with all the money, leaving behind a Han Corporation which is an empty shell. Han Chen is shouldering all the debts now,” Qiao Mei said.

After Qian’e heard what Qiao Mei said, she sat up on the bed and looked at Qiao Mei in shock. Han Chen had never told her about these things before. Qiao Mei added, “Han Chen also only just found out about all these things. When I went to take over the Han family residence, I found him lying on the floor there. He’s resting at my house now.”

“Alright, I understand,” Qian’e said as she pretended to be calm.

“Don’t you have anything to say? He’s almost fully recovered and will be leaving my house soon,” Qiao Mei said.

“Did he say where he’s going?” Qian’e asked.

“You have to ask him that yourself. I don’t care about where he goes next,” Qiao Mei said.

Qian’e was silent for a long time. She finally decided to resolve this matter herself. She could not let it drag on like this.

Han Chen stood by the window and looked at the sky. He had not felt so calm in a long time. In the past, he was always busy with work. He would reach the company early in the morning and go home only late at night. Now, he did not have to think about anything. This was the first time he had ever felt so relaxed.

“Don’t you find it cold standing there?” Qian’e asked.

“Xiao’e! Why  why are you here to see me?” Han Chen said, feeling both happy and apologetic.

Qian’e did not answer Han Chen’s question. She walked into the room and sat down opposite him. After thinking for a while, she said, “The Han Corporation is gone. What do you plan to do in the future?”

“Pay off the debts. My parents owe a lot of debts. I’m the legal representative, so it’s all on me now,” Han Chen said.

Qian’e looked into Han Chen’s eyes. She could see too many emotions in those eyes, including love, guilt, dejection and so on. However, she was already unable to love him back. There were too many ill feelings in her heart. Whenever she thought about forgiving Han Chen, she would remember what Du Juan had done to the Xia family that day.

“Alright, then I wish you  all the best,” Qian’e said with a smile.

“Same to you,” Han Chen replied with a smile.

Life went back on track. Qian’e returned to the factory and started learning about how the new machines work. She implemented all the work processes that Qiao Mei had suggested and also asked for Xia Wen’s help to register the patent and brand name of the factory’s products. The goods belonging to Ding Xiang and her relatives were confiscated by the government and they ended up making a huge loss!

Xu Lan also started to seriously look for a suitable partner for Li Gui. She collected all the information on the suitable candidates and bound them into a booklet so that it would be easier for Li Gui and Qiao Mei to choose.

“Mei Mei, there are quite a number of eligible men, but there are only three who meet all the requirements. Our full criteria is actually very basic, but it’s so difficult to find a person who meets all of them. Either the man’s mother has a bad character or he has too many siblings. Sigh, it’s really difficult! See if there are any suitable candidates here. Let’s cross out the unsuitable ones first,” Xu Lan said.

“No worries. Let’s take our time,” Qiao Mei said.
