Chapter 593: Chapter 593

On Sunday, Huo Feng sent Pu Sangzhi back to Rui’an early in the morning.

Because she wanted to go back to find Chen Huifen and share the good news with her, and also to discuss this big matter with the two elders at home again.

After all, it was someone else’s family, and it wasn’t convenient for Huo Feng to go. He also had the sense not to shamelessly tag along but instead handed Ye Qingcao’s house keys to Pu Sangzhi, asking her to bring them back.

After a night of passionate love, Huo Feng especially couldn’t bear to part with her and was also particularly worried about her when sending her to the station.

Although it was agreed he would just see her onto the bus, when the bus arrived, he couldn’t endure the agony of parting and ended up getting on the bus with her...

Thus, Pu Sangzhi looked at him sitting beside her, feeling somewhat speechless.

At that moment on the bus, she squinted her eyes and looked at Huo Feng rather speechlessly.

Huo Feng, on the other hand, looked back at her with a natural and grinning face, "Bro’s worried about you, ya know. Now, I’ve got to guard against others coveting my blossoming beauty, and also against you sneaking away from me. Bro’s really busy!"

Huo Feng patted her arm, "Hey, don’t sneak off again. If you pull something like that on me again, I’m really going to hold a grudge."

Huo Feng shook her shoulders, "Dead dog, promise me!"

Then, Pu Sangzhi, while laughing, gave him a few thumping punches...

When she got back to Rui’an, it was almost noon.

Huo Feng dropped her off at the Ye Qingcao family’s apartment complex and then took the initiative to leave.

Because by that time, no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn’t resist Pu Sangzhi’s determination to send him away...

Pu Sangzhi returned home and reported verbatim to the two elders what her father had said over the phone the night before.

Chen Huifen and Xu Hui showed delight upon hearing the news...

Although the two women still hadn’t figured out how to repay such a large amount of money so far, thinking of Pu Wenhua’s return meant there would be an additional man to take charge. Regardless, it was all good news!

After that, Chen Huifen and Xu Hui sneaked into a room, seemingly conspiring quietly about something.

Seeing that the two elders deliberately avoided her, Pu Sangzhi didn’t say anything, just letting them have their way.

After all, she was just a child, light in their consideration. Even if she heard their discussions, she couldn’t participate or have much of an impact...

So, Pu Sangzhi joined Ye Qingcao in her room and started talking about their sisterly girlish chats.

Ye Qingcao came back by high-speed train the previous afternoon, worried about Pu Sangzhi, after attending her exam that morning.

However, when she got home, Pu Sangzhi had already gone out to find Huo Feng...

Therefore, Ye Qingcao hastily returned home yesterday without having seen Pu Sangzhi.

Today was the first time they saw each other, and Ye Qingcao really missed Pu Sangzhi!

"Sangzhi, you traitor who ditches friends for love~ I was so distracted by worrying about you during the exam yesterday; my mind was full of you, and I hurried back as soon as it was over. But you ran off to spend a night of passion with Feng... totally forgetting about me..."

As she said this, Ye Qingcao was blissfully hugging Pu Sangzhi, burying her head in Pu Sangzhi’s chest and rubbing against it.

"Xiaocao... erm, Xiaocao..."

Pu Sangzhi felt extremely awkward, yet she didn’t know how to stop her.

"You didn’t even return my call yesterday! I sent you so many messages, made so many calls~ Waaah, you’re too much, completely forgetting about me once you’re with Feng!"

Ye Qingcao wailed sadly, her head still rubbing against Pu Sangzhi’s chest.

It really made Pu Sangzhi embarrassed...

Pu Sangzhi’s face blushed, and looking down at Ye Qingcao’s dark head in front of her, "My phone was almost dead yesterday, so I thought I’d save some battery... Later, after charging it, Huo Feng just wouldn’t leave me alone. I forgot..."

"Those are just excuses! You just forgot about me~ I’m really upset~" Ye Qingcao moaned against her chest.

Perhaps after feeling tired from the fuss, Ye Qingcao buried her entire head in Pu Sangzhi’s chest and stayed still...

Seeing her , Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but poke her head, "Xiaocao?"

Ye Qingcao took a deep breath, lifted her head, and showed a dopey smile, "Seems like there’s a milky scent..."

Then, Ye Qingcao was slapped onto the bed by Pu Sangzhi...

...10 minutes later...

On the big bed, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Qingcao with her tousled hair lay side by side, facing the ceiling, and began to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Pu Sangzhi shared with Ye Qingcao everything that happened to her at school this week and what transpired at her home.

Only then did Ye Qingcao learn that the debt collectors had gone to the school and forced her to stop attending classes. They also made her unable to rest at home...

After hearing about all the events that had happened to Pu Sangzhi over the week, Ye Qingcao felt extremely distressed, naturally forgave Pu Sangzhi for leaving without saying goodbye, and hugged her tightly as if to soothe her.

Later, when Pu Sangzhi mentioned that Huo Feng’s family had given her some money, providing her with a moment’s peace, Ye Qingcao was deeply moved...

Being high school students in a relationship that had reached such a level was definitely true love!

Ye Qingcao highly praised Brother Feng’s character!

Afterward, when Pu Sangzhi mentioned that her dad was coming back, Ye Qingcao was very excited again!

"Yes! It will definitely be solved!"

Ye Qingcao nodded her head repeatedly, saying the phrase several times, "Sangzhi, you believe me! It will definitely be solved next! Luck has already started to come our way, and nothing will be a problem after this! Don’t worry, Sangzhi!"

Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but laugh, "You’ve said that many times. Okay, I know, I believe you!"

Ye Qingcao chuckled and quickly turned to embrace Pu Sangzhi, her large eyes fixed intently on Pu Sangzhi’s face, "Sangzhi, Uncle Pu is really a good person and he’s truly capable! I believe once he comes back, the issues will surely be resolved!"

Pu Sangzhi also turned around, her shiny black eyes locked onto Ye Qingcao, "You have that much faith in my dad?"

As she asked the question, Pu Sangzhi’s own heart was filled with doubt.

Being Pu Wenhua’s daughter, she didn’t really believe her father could find a way to deal with this disaster...

After all, it wasn’t a small amount...

Also, if he could have resolved it, he wouldn’t have been hiding away for so long.

"Of course, I believe!"

Ye Qingcao nodded vigorously, "Sangzhi, you definitely don’t know how our shoe factory came about."

Ye Qingcao raised a finger, "At that time, my parents had just divorced. My mom took my brother and me back to Rui’an with some money, but had no clue how to use it. It was Uncle Pu who came here and taught my mom how to start a shoe factory step by step. He found the location, bought the machines, and hired the workers. He was the one who went out to mingle, helping my mom get orders. He would come from Shanghai almost every week to check on us and give our family a hand. So, you could say that our shoe factory was practically founded single-handedly by Uncle Pu. And he didn’t take a single cent of profit—just had a meal at my mom’s place!"

Pu Sangzhi truly didn’t know this, "So that’s how it was... no wonder, my dad said Aunt Xu would definitely help us."

Ye Qingcao nodded earnestly, "Our family’s situation today, our shoe factory’s annual income of 2 million! It was all brought up by Uncle Pu! He said my dad let us down, but he couldn’t let us down. He’s really a great person. Good people get good rewards! So, this crisis will definitely be overcome!"

Hearing about her father’s heroic deeds, Pu Sangzhi felt much better.

She gradually believed in her father more as well...

Ye Qingcao patted Pu Sangzhi on the shoulder, "Uncle truly is incredible, a genius from Tsinghua. Whatever he does, he succeeds. He’s hardworking and clever! My mom praises him every day, saying that the company would have never gotten to this if my dad hadn’t held back your dad. My mom feels so guilty! So don’t worry, our two families are as one. Your family’s matters are our family’s matters! We’ll face them together!"

Facing it together as two families...

Pu Sangzhi had heard this phrase from Xu Hui, Ye Qingcao, and Ye Xi more than once.

But each time she heard it, she was deeply moved, her heart trembling with an indescribable emotion rising within her...

This time, after her family’s ordeal, Pu Sangzhi truly felt a lot of warmth from others.

Whether it was teachers, classmates, Huo Feng, or the Ye Family, everyone was kind to her, everyone cared and was concerned about her.

So this time, Pu Sangzhi really didn’t feel life was that bitter or sad.

She was grateful for every noble person who appeared in her life, thankful for every gentle breeze...

Pu Sangzhi’s eyes, slightly red, looked at Ye Qingcao, "Thank you."

"Oh, don’t cry now..."

Ye Qingcao hurriedly embraced her, soothing her shoulder, "If you cry, I’ll want to cry too. You’re not allowed to cry; you have to be strong."

Pu Sangzhi gave a small smile, "Yes." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁

She had to be strong.

To face every difficulty in life head-on.
