The horse was pulling the carriage at a very fast speed on the road. Huan Huan, who was leaning against the carriage, looked at Xu Qu with some confusion.

Based on Huanhuan's understanding of Xu Qu, Xu Qu's interruption and lowering of the car curtains showed that he was angry. But now he looked out the window with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

Huan Huan didn't like guessing riddles. She pulled Xu Qu's sleeve, and when Xu Qu turned to look at her, she looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Are you angry? Why?"

Xu Qu did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while before speaking: "Recently, my second uncle said that something happened at home, and he has not been involved in family affairs for a few days. Now all business affairs are placed on me, and even my mother, who has been in charge of domestic affairs, has to come out to deal with some external affairs."

Listening slowly and quietly without saying a word, Xu Qu continued: "So, at least for the time being, I will be very busy, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the rouge shop. In the future you may need to travel back and forth between Heyang and Shanghuai to handle matters in the workshop and the shop." He paused here.

But Huanhuan didn't understand what his words had to do with his anger, so she asked tentatively, "So you're angry that this matter wasted your time today?"

Xu Qu said nothing, turned his head and looked out the window, Huan Huan frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion. Just when Huan Huan had been waiting for Xu Qu's answer for a long time and was about to think that he had acquiesced to his guess, Xu Qu, who had been looking out the window, suddenly said in an unhappy tone: "That Mr. Qiao knew that you were married and knew your husband's family name, but he still called you Miss Feng instead of Mrs. Xu. Isn't that inappropriate?" After saying that, Xu Qu retracted his gaze and looked at Huan Huan calmly.

"Ah?" He stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth open, his mind blank, not knowing how to respond.

Why? What's the reason?

"Well, well, maybe." He slowly cleared his throat and said, "Maybe it's because I'm his brother, so he thinks calling me like this makes us feel closer."

Xu Qu acted indifferent and arrogant. He said, "It's not appropriate for him to call me that anyway. When you come back and deal with Manager Qiao, try to avoid dealing with Mr. Qiao." His tone was like an order, but it was also a little awkward. After saying that, Xu Qu pretended to be calm and looked at Huan Huan. Huan Huan blinked, and he could actually see a little uneasiness in Xu Qu's eyes.

Oh my god! Is this the Xu Qu that Huanhuan knew? Huanhuan had never seen Xu Qu like this, nor had she thought of such a thing. "I..." Huanhuan looked at Xu Qu and couldn't think. He just nodded woodenly and said in a long voice: "Okay--"

Xu Qu smiled proudly like a child who had gotten candy, then quickly turned his head to look out the window. He stood there in a daze, slowly recalling and trying his best to understand everything that had just happened.

After a while, Xu Qu turned back, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood. He said to Huan Huan in his usual calm tone: "I will use my own money to buy the workshop and the formula. There will be no more shop-like situation. The operation of the workshop does not need to be reported to the Xu family's sharing meeting, and the Xu family will not audit the accounts. You don't have to feel stressed."

Huanhuan was very surprised and asked, "This is not a small amount of money. Can you afford it?"

Xu Qu explained, "Descendants of the Xu family have received dividends every year since they were born. I have been saving them all these years without touching them. This money is enough to cover the cost of buying the formula and the workshop."

He looked at Xu Qu blankly and said, "But after paying such a large sum of money, I'm afraid you won't have much left from your savings, right?"

Xu Qu didn't say anything. He looked at it for a while and said, "Money won't earn interest if it's just sitting there. I can use it somewhere else. This workshop will be ours in the future. Maybe it will make money. But it doesn't matter if it doesn't. The Xu family will have other dividends every year. I can still support you, my wife."

After listening to these words, Huanhuan felt her eyes getting moist. She just looked at Xu Qu without saying a word.

Xu Qu also watched slowly. After a while, he laughed and said, "Okay, let's talk about something else. I want to discuss with you. Brother has done so much for us this time. It would be wrong for us not to give him a big gift. How should we thank him?"

He wiped the corners of his eyes slowly and gently, and came back to his senses, thinking, and muttered in his mouth, "Yes, how should I thank my brother?"

Suddenly, she remembered the letter her sister-in-law Pei left for her before she left Qiao Ji, so she said, "I wonder what my brother said in the letter to me." After that, she took out the letter and started reading it.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it. After looking at it, he slowly fell silent, and the tears that he had just wiped away came out again.

Seeing her like this, Xu Qu took the letter from her hand, and just glanced at a few sentences, and even he was stunned. He instantly understood why Huan Huan was like this.

The letter reads: I have a beloved sister, from whom we were separated when we were young. When I was young, I moved away with my father. I miss my sister every day. Every festive occasion, I look at her from afar and ask myself: My sister, who was still a little girl when we parted, how has she grown up now? After years of wandering around, we are finally reunited when my sister reaches the age of marriage. I want to fulfill my responsibilities as a brother, but my marriage affects my sister's marriage, and I feel so guilty that I can't describe it. However, my sister has never complained, and my sister-in-law is calm, respectful, loving and humble. I am both sad and worried, and I can't sleep thinking about her. How lucky I am now that I have the opportunity to help my sister, and I am really grateful to God for this. The matter of Qiao Ji is just that you did your best to protect my little sister, and I am very relieved. I have a lot of thoughts and thoughts, and I only hope that my sister will succeed in everything she does, and never say anything else.

Xu Qu put down the letter silently, and said after a while: "I didn't expect that my brother was really devoted to you and had no selfish motives." He slowly lowered his head and said nothing.

After a while, Xu Qu said, "Since Brother has said so, if we bring up money and property again, wouldn't that be insulting to Brother and betraying his sincerity?"

This made Huanhuan even more sad. Seeing her about to cry, Xu Qu said, "Well, how can a person rely on himself for everything? If you want to accomplish great things, you must rely on the help of others. Now that this person is your brother, you will feel more at ease. There is still a long way to go, so let's keep your brother's kindness in mind for now."

Huanhuan nodded and said "hmm", and then he stopped talking. Seeing that Huanhuan was still in a low mood, Xu Qu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's talk about something else. I tell you, brother will become a great man in the future."

After hearing this, Huan Huan raised his head and asked curiously, "How did you know that?"

Xu Qu said: "We can see it from the way your brother helped us this time. You see, your brother is both resolute and reasonable. Not only does he go to persuade Shopkeeper Qiao every day, but he does not make Shopkeeper Qiao annoyed with him, but he has a lot of good feelings towards him. Besides, the contract manuscript your brother wrote, I have read many contracts, and the one your brother wrote is carefully chosen, comprehensive, and the content is balanced and fair. It can be seen that your brother really has good intentions, and I was amazed when I read it."

Huanhuan finally smiled and interrupted, "No wonder you watched it for so long."

Xu Qu smiled slowly and breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Yes. And brother has a noble person to help him - his father-in-law has a deep foundation in the court and will be able to support him in the future. Do you think he will succeed?"

He smiled slowly and said, "Haha, I hope to borrow your good words."

After she finished speaking, she relaxed and leaned towards the car wall, but accidentally touched the wound on her arm and suddenly took a breath of cold air. Xu Qu's expression immediately changed and asked, "What's wrong?"

She slowly frowned, then smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay, I just touched the wound on my arm." After saying that, she naturally lifted up her sleeve to check the wound. The wound was on the upper arm, so she lifted up her entire sleeve, revealing her white arm and a long scratch on her arm. There was a thin scab on the wound with slight bleeding. She slowly pressed the area around it despite the pain, and said "It's okay" before putting her sleeve down.

Xu Qu froze there. He looked out the window, then turned back and said slowly, "I have some medicine that can heal abrasions. My master and I developed it together. It's quite effective. I'll give it to you when we get back."

He slowly looked at Xu Qu, smiled warmly, and replied, "Okay!"

Xu Qu looked at Huan Huan's smiling face, and a faint smile also appeared on his face.

The carriage rumbled, carrying the two of them back to Shanghuai and home.
