Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

He Changming refused to be outdone and said, “Did you regret it?”

“I didn’t, I’m just glad.”

He Changming thought of the rumors about his sister-in-law and Zhao Jiangang. He nodded with a serious expression. “You’re right. I’m glad too.” It was great to have a smart wife, or else she would be easily deceived.

As long as he wasn’t a scumbag.

“Checkmate.” Zhou Hengyang moved his chess piece and forced He Changming into a desperate situation.

“F*ck! When did your Knight get here? No, no. You must have changed your pieces when I wasn’t paying attention.” He Changming refused to admit defeat.

“Hey, why are you playing cheat?” Zhou Hengyang snorted coldly, “If you lose, then so be it. Just admit that you have lost.”

“One more round.” He could not believe that he lost to Zhou Hengyang.

“We have played for so many rounds!” Zhou Hengyang held a chess piece in his hand as he said, “Aren’t you going back? Your house is in the mountains. It’s not easy to get there when it’s dark.”

He Changming was speechless. They were still good friends before Zhou Hengyang brought this up.

However, the sky was getting dark, and he had things to do at home. He was indeed very busy. He Changming stood up and wanted to say a few words to Su Xiu before leaving. However, the heartless little girl was talking to Su Wen with bright eyes!

She didn’t even look at him.

Zhou Hengyang supported himself on the table with one hand, and a playful smile appeared on his face. It was as if he was very happy to see He Changming suffer.

“Forget it! I’m leaving.” He Changming waved his hand and left.

He kept it in his heart for now. Next time, he would settle the score with Su Xiu.

Su Xiu hid beside Su Wen and pretended not to see He Changming. In fact, her red earlobes had already revealed her true emotions.

After He Changming walked away, Su Xiu finally relaxed.

Su Wen saw all of this but pretended not to see it. She continued to listen to

Yao Fang. After a while, she noticed Yao Fang’s pleading eyes and interrupted.

“Do you have something to tell me?”

“I want to work for you.” After this incident, Yao Fang finally understood her own capabilities and desires. Moreover, she owed Su Wen such a huge favor and she wanted to repay it.

She was just playing smart and thought that she could fool others, but she was actually the fool herself. Instead, she didn’t even know that she had been schemed against. After living in a daze for so many years, she had finally realized it.

Moreover, Yao Fang could tell that Su Wen was generous and open. If she was able to work with Su Wen, it would be the best opportunity in her life. Su Wen was her benefactor. She must seize this opportunity.

Perhaps it was the best and last chance she had in her life.

“I don’t have much ability, but I can go all out to learn. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. I promise to be obedient and won’t have second thoughts.”

Needless to say, Su Wen was a little tempted by Yao Fang’s suggestion. She was indeed short of manpower now. In the beginning, she didn’t feel comfortable to recruit strangers. It would be best if she could have a capable and trustworthy helper.

Su Wen looked at Yao Fang’s expectant eyes and then at Zhou Hengyang.

Zhou Hengyang nodded.

Only then did Su Wen let go of the worries. However, given Yao Fang’s character and the things she had done in the past, Su Wen had to test her.

“Sure.”

Yao Fang was delighted. Before she could speak, Su Wen waved her hand and interrupted..
