Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Must Not Forget One’s Roots

"After all is said and done, it’s still because you’re too kindhearted," Yang Xiaoxi said. "When the time comes, have Shen Jianhua put the house under your name. That way, even if he messes up again in the future, you’ll have something to hold over him."

We can’t let Shen Mianmian spend the money and still be aggrieved.

"Right," Xiaocui nodded. "If you feel awkward about saying it, I can talk to Uncle Shen about the house’s ownership. Since it’s your money, it’s only right that the house is in your name."

After thinking it over, Shen Mianmian nodded, "When you talk to him, also make it clear that I only want ownership of the house. As long as they don’t sell it, it doesn’t matter who lives there or for how long."

"Okay," Xiaocui agreed.

She believed Shen Jianhua would certainly agree to this request because he had already said that he wanted to leave the house for Shen Mianmian. His spouse was there at the time and agreed as well. Now that Shen Mianmian was willing to help build the house and even contribute money, Shen Jianhua had no reason to refuse.

After finishing the topic about Shen Jianhua, Xiaocui then remembered Zhang Qian’s affair. She wanted to speak several times but hesitated, unsure how to bring it up. Shen Mianmian noticed but didn’t point it out, leaving it to Xiaocui to speak if she wished to or to remain silent if she preferred not to pressure Xiaocui.

Finally, Yang Xiaoxi couldn’t stand it anymore, "Xiaocui, if you have something to say, just speak! Who are we to each other? Are you short on money? If you need money, just say it. Both Mianmian and I have saved up a bit, and we can lend you whatever you need."

In Yang Xiaoxi’s eyes, it’s only borrowing money that could be embarrassing to ask for. Everything else seemed easy to discuss, so she thought Xiaocui wanted to borrow money but wasn’t sure how to say it.

Hearing Yang Xiaoxi’s words, Xiaocui was moved and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, that’s not it. The business in the shop is doing well right now, and we have some savings too."

Xiaocui and Dajun had bought a plot in the city a couple of years ago and built their own house. They both had some savings, and their life was much better than most people’s. She was content with her current life.

"Then why are you beating around the bush?" Yang Xiaoxi didn’t understand. "We’re all good sisters. Even though you’re in Licheng, Mianmian and I have always considered you a close sister. If you have any difficulties or something on your mind, just speak up, and we’ll definitely help you solve it."

Yang Xiaoxi knew well how rare true friends were, especially after being in the entertainment circle where many people are nice to your face but stab you in the back. So she particularly cherished these hard-earned friendships.

With the conversation going this far, Xiaocui decided not to hide it anymore and simply said, "Actually, I don’t want to borrow money. I wanted to talk about something concerning Dajun and Zhang Qian, but I didn’t know how to bring it up, so..."

Once she started on this topic, Shen Mianmian continued, "Actually, Zhang Qian called me this afternoon."

Xiaocui was somewhat surprised, "What did she say?"

"She said you fired her," Shen Mianmian said. "And also mentioned that you suspected something inappropriate going on between her and Dajun."

Upon hearing this, Xiaocui felt a flood of grievances.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in shock, "What? Your husband and Zhang Qian got fired?"

Yang Xiaoxi was on the verge of exploding, wishing she could rush out and give Dajun a good beating right now. How could Dajun be such a jerk when Xiaocui is such a good person?

The two of them had also come through hard times together; they can’t forget their roots just because their lives are better now!
