Marriage in crisis

"Hey!" I said calmly, but my eyes were looking at the children of all ages playing on the beach in the distance.

"...Danni! It's so lively over there!" she said softly, her tone full of kindness.

I immediately laughed, "You heard it all, we are a family, taking the kids out for vacation!"

"So good?" Her voice was so kind that I suddenly liked her more.

Of course, if she was not Song Li, I would have one more friend.

"Well! The kids are on holiday, so they all came back to Qingcheng. I took them out to have some fun before school starts, otherwise school will start again soon!" I chatted with her like a family, and I asked, "Are you in Qingcheng again?"

"Haha..." She laughed happily, "Yes, the capital is too hot now, the dry heat makes people feel bored, so I hid in Qingcheng to escape the heat! It just so happens that a batch of goods came in."

"How long can you stay?" I asked, and then took the initiative to say, "I can only go back in a week, and I'll treat you to a meal when I go back!"

"Yeah! Okay, I can stay longer this time!" Song Li was very practical and did not delay.

"Then see you in a week!" I said without hesitation.

"Okay! Then you can have fun!" Song Li said considerately, "Have fun!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Aihua came over immediately and asked, "Is she really following you now?"

I nodded. "Yes, she is! She has other intentions than drinking! She hasn't revealed her purpose yet!"

"This woman is too cunning, she's not just sly, you better be careful!" Xu Aihua reminded me, "Don't let her bite you."

"I know!" I smiled. "She also said that the capital was too hot and humid, so she hid in Qingcheng to escape the heat."

"Huh? Do you believe it?" Xu Aihua snorted coldly, "If you say she went to Qingcheng to hide from the limelight, I would believe it. After all, he is too closely related to the Xu family. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for her to get rid of him."

Xu Aihua showed a gloating expression and continued, "When we came back from the capital, the upper class in the capital was shaken. Those shameless people all stopped, and the club's business was probably wiped out. This group of people tucked their tails between their legs and hid at home in fear!"

I looked at her and said, "You lit the fire well this time!"

"Forget it! It's not so bad! I'm afraid I can't go back to the capital!" Xu Aihua complained, "I've become their public enemy! Anyone who has anything to do with the Xu family hates me to the core. I know very well that if I show my face in the capital, I'll be dead for sure!"

I patted Xu Aihua on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! We will come back eventually!"

"I don't want to go back either. Is the capital city so awesome? I think it's not as humane as this little island." There was really nothing wrong with what she said.

She pulled me to sit on the big rock at the door and said, "Hey... Danny, let me tell you, I listened to your suggestion and thought, why don't I open a food stall with my dad on the island!

I'll talk to Uncle Kang again. I'll invest some money to renovate these abandoned barracks into a small hotel. It'll be nice to live a comfortable and cozy life like this!" Xu Aihua looked at the sea in the distance and smiled calmly.

To be honest, Xu Aihua is now completely different from when I first met her. After she shed her delicate and hypocritical shell, she became more real.

Of course, it's not just the outer shell, even the heart seems to be purified.

I watched her every move, and she suddenly realized it and looked back at me, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I looked away and smiled, "I was just thinking, you are a completely different person now!"

"Hey! I was forced to change!" Xu Aihua shrugged. "That family abandoned me. What could I do?"

"What? From what you said, I see that you still prefer the life of living under someone else's roof as before? Where you could show off everywhere and cheat people?" I teased her.

She curled her lips and snorted, "Forget it. That was where the nightmare began. Now it's so real. I can fall asleep and sleep till dawn."

I nodded and smiled, "I really believe what you said!"

Chi Xi came over and said to me, "It's going to be fun now! I heard I can give you a surprise later!"

I was a little confused and pointed at my nose, "...You mean, give me a surprise?"

"Yes! Of course, everyone will be surprised!" Chi Xi raised his eyebrows, bared his little fangs, and smiled happily.

I didn't ask any further questions, because I knew from her expression that even if I asked, I wouldn't be able to get the answer.

She continued, "Also, Uncle Yu said that in the next few days, he and Uncle Xu will show everyone their cooking skills and recreate the glory of the stall in the past! We are in for a treat!"

"Really!" Xu Aihua clapped her hands and laughed.

I looked at Xu Aihua and asked, "How did Uncle Xu know you were here? Did he come looking for you?"
