After leaving the intermediary, Qin Yi did not go home but went to the mall. He bought a few sets of clothes, pants, and shoes for Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei.
For the past few years, the two women had been living in a landfill, their lives difficult, and even meals were a problem, let alone buying new clothes.
The clothes they were currently wearing were also picked up from the landfill.
Qin Yi had originally wanted to take them shopping, but Zheng Shufen's legs had not fully recovered and she had difficulty moving. Qin Lei, due to her disfigurement, would never be willing to go shopping with him, so he decided to buy them himself.
At Zheng Chenggong's home.
Not long after Qin Yi left, Zhang Guihua returned from outside.
Later, while Zheng Chenggong was out at work, Zhang Guihua and Zheng Dapeng called Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei into the living room.
Zhang Guihua sat on the sofa, with her arms crossed, and said, "Shufen, Xiao Lei, from now on you will live at my place, and I will tell you the rules!"
"You are living here, you can't live for free. You are poor, so I won't charge you rent, but from today onwards, all the household chores will be yours!"
"Don't move things around the house casually. If you want to eat the fruits and snacks we bought, you can't without my permission!"
"Starting tonight, you are not allowed to eat with us. Eat at the small table you prepare yourself!"
"Also, find some time to get a full body check-up at the hospital, and then bring me the results!"
"You've lived in the garbage dump for so long, who knows if you have any illnesses or are carrying any viruses!"
"..."
Zhang Guihua said one item after another.
Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei listened, feeling incredibly embarrassed, their faces involuntarily flushing red.
"If you can't do it, even if Chenggong protects you, I will kick you out!" Zhang Guihua lowered her hands and crossed her legs again. "Do you understand?"
"Understood, understood..."
Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei nodded in agreement.
"One more thing," Zheng Dapeng said to Qin Lei, "From now on, when you have nothing to do, don't wander around the house, especially at night. With your face, you might scare us!"
Hearing this, Qin Lei lowered her head so much that it almost touched the ground, rubbing her clothes with her hands. "Okay, okay!"
Afterward, Zhang Guihua and Zheng Dapeng told them a lot more, mainly setting rules, which lasted for more than half an hour before ending.
Qin Yi returned from outside as evening approached.
He entered the house to find Zhang Guihua and Zheng Dapeng sitting in the living room watching television.
Seeing him return, Zhang Guihua said sarcastically, "I don't know where you were hanging around all afternoon. You're back for dinner!"
Then, Zheng Dapeng saw the large bags he was carrying and immediately stood up and walked over. "Heh, bought so many things! Didn't you just get out? Where did you get the money???"
As he approached, his hand reached into the bag, wanting to see what Qin Yi had bought.
However, Qin Yi dodged him, preventing him from succeeding.
Immediately after, Qin Yi ignored them and strode into Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei's room.
"Hey, Qin Yi, you're living at our place now. Believe it or not, I'll kick you out?"
Qin Yi also ignored Zheng Dapeng's threat, as if he hadn't heard it, and closed the door after entering the room.
Zheng Shufen, seeing Qin Yi return with new clothes, felt a pang of heartache. She blamed Qin Yi for spending money recklessly and told him to take them back and return them.
Qin Yi persuaded her for a long time before she reluctantly accepted and told him not to return them.
Qin Lei looked at the new clothes with undisguised joy in her eyes.
Every girl likes new clothes, and Qin Lei was no exception.
In the evening, Zheng Chenggong was working overtime at the company and did not return.
Qin Lei cooked dinner. During the meal, Zhang Guihua and Zheng Dapeng sat at the large dining table. Qin Lei took the initiative to place their three bowls of rice on a small table nearby.
At first, Qin Yi didn't understand what was happening. It was only when Zheng Shufen winked at him, telling him to eat at the small table, that he guessed what was going on.
At that moment, Qin Yi's impression of Zhang Guihua and Zheng Dapeng worsened.
Later, he sent a WeChat message to Lin Miaomiao, asking her to speed up the house-buying procedures.
That night, Qin Yi lay in bed, examining the invitation letter that Liu Jinxiu had given him.
While looking at the invitation, he pondered the matter of delivering a 'grand gift' to Liu Jinxiu and Tang Jialei on their wedding day.
Later, when he noticed that their wedding venue was the Imperial Dynasty Hotel, and upon checking, discovered that the Imperial Dynasty Hotel was an industry under the Han Corporation.
That is, Han Sanwan's hotel. His eyes lit up, and he thought of a good idea!
Immediately, Qin Yi called Han Sanwan and said he needed his help with something.
Upon hearing this, Han Sanwan agreed readily without a second thought.
If it weren't for Qin Yi that day, Han Sanwan would probably have died. Qin Yi was his savior, and he naturally wouldn't refuse Qin Yi's request.
Thus, Qin Yi did not explain the details over the phone. They agreed to meet tomorrow for a detailed discussion.
The next day.
Qin Yi, around ten in the morning, greeted Zheng Shufen and went out.
The place he had arranged to meet Han Sanwan was the Imperial Court Hotel, so he took a taxi directly to the hotel.
Han Sanwan, to show his respect for Qin Yi, arrived at the Imperial Court Hotel early and waited for Qin Yi at the main entrance.
Han Xin was also with Han Sanwan.
"Dad, is it necessary for you to do this? Waiting at the entrance?" Han Xin said beside him.
"Qin Yi saved my life; he is my great benefactor, and he should be treated as such," Han Sanwan said. "Moreover, he was able to save me in such a critical situation; his medical skills are truly superb!"
"Being friends with such a skilled doctor is equivalent to our Han family having an extra life-saving charm!"
Han Xin nodded and said nothing more.
Just then, two figures walked into the hotel, a man and a woman, hand in hand.
The man was in his thirties, wearing a designer casual outfit, and a Patek Philippe on his wrist. His stride was very imposing, and he walked with a strong bearing.
He was Tang Jialei, who had sent Qin Yi to prison years ago.
The woman walking hand in hand with him was Liu Jinxiu.
As they entered, Tang Jialei saw Han Sanwan and immediately walked up. "Uncle Han, Miss Han, what are you doing here?"
Han Sanwan looked at him but said nothing.
Han Xin's eyes revealed a hint of disgust, and she coldly retorted, "This is our family's hotel. What are we doing here?"
Although the Tang family's assets were not comparable to Han Sanwan's, they were still a top-tier wealthy family in Haicheng.
Therefore, the two parties naturally knew each other.
Han Sanwan and Han Xin had heard a lot about Tang Jialei's dissolute behavior. He often relied on his family's money and connections to commit evil deeds and act arrogantly in Haicheng, so the two of them looked down on him.
Tang Jialei sensed their attitude towards him but didn't care. He continued to say with a smile, "Uncle Han, I'm holding my wedding here in a few days. I came to take a look today!"
"It's almost noon. Since we ran into each other, why don't I treat you to lunch, Uncle Han? My father mentioned a few days ago that we should strengthen our cooperation in the future..."
Before he could finish, Han Sanwan interrupted him, "No need, I have a guest today!"
