After a long silence in the bar, Lin Wanyu looked at Hu Yifei with sympathy and said, "Yifei, do you want to change this situation?"

Lin Wanyu's words made the eyes of Lu Ziqiao, Zeng Xiaoxian, and Guan Gu Shenqi light up.

The three of them seemed to have made a decision, as if they would do something as long as Hu Yifei nodded.

Hu Yifei naturally noticed the excitement in Guan Gu and the others' eyes.

However, Hu Yifei shook her head and said, "Although the current situation can be changed, the price you have to pay is too high and not worth it at all. Now that you have returned to your respective families, you should consider your families and not act on my behalf anymore."

Hu Yifei's words silenced Lin Wanyu and the other three. They had indeed been thinking that if they used some of their family's resources, they could definitely change Hu Yifei's current situation.

However, Hu Yifei is also right. Changing Hu Yifei's current situation would come at a price that is far too high. Not to mention whether her family can accept it, even those who worked hard alongside her parents might not agree to pay such a high price to change Hu Yifei's current situation.

Moreover, Hu Yifei's current situation is beneficial to them. Yang Chu now holds a pivotal position in Shanghai, and Hu Yifei being with Yang Chu is advantageous to their situation. Therefore, it is even less likely that they will support these small requests.

Seeing that Lin Wanyu and the other three were silent, Hu Yifei smiled and then looked at Jiang Lai, saying, "When will I enter the Yang family?"

Jiang Lai placed her hand on the jade carving box and remained silent for a long while before saying, "I can't give you this answer!"

No sooner had Jiang Lai finished speaking than Lin Wanyu said somewhat angrily, "At this point, Miss Jiang, do you still want Qiao?"

Jiang Lai, hearing Lin Wanyu's unfriendly tone, did not get angry. Instead, she calmly looked at Lin Wanyu and said, "As you just heard, the jade carvings of the Yang family ladies can mobilize 95% of the Yang family's resources. There is still 5% of resources that cannot be mobilized. And within this 5% of resources, there is also a rule that determines who can enter the Yang family and who cannot."

Jiang Lai's meaning was simple: there were some things that they couldn't decide for Yang Chu.

Lin Wanyu and Hu Yifei naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Lai's words.

Wang Manni sighed and looked at Hu Yifei, saying, "Miss Hu, I know that if I tell you some things, you will definitely have some thoughts about me, but for the sake of being a woman, I've decided to tell you anyway."

Seeing that Wang Manni had something to say to her, Hu Yifei nodded and said to Wang Manni, "Miss Wang, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Yifei. Please speak your mind!"

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. From now on, don't call me Miss Wang anymore. I'm a year older than you, so just call me Sister Manny!"

"Okay, Sister Manny! Just say what you want to say!"

Wang Manni looked at Hu Yifei and sighed, saying, "Yifei, we've also taken a quick look at your information. To be honest, apart from the connections behind your father, we really don't think it's a good thing that you've joined the Yang family."

As soon as Wang Manni finished speaking, Lin Wanyu and Lu Ziqiao frowned and wanted to retort, but Zeng Xiaoxian reached out with both hands and held them down.

Wang Manni naturally saw Lin Wanyu and the others' actions, but she ignored them and still looked at Hu Yifei and said, "Yifei, you are too impulsive and have too strong a competitive spirit. You wear your heart on your sleeve and are very easy to be taken advantage of. If you were to enter the Yang family, who knows how much trouble you would cause."

The reason Wang Manni gave weakened Lin Wanyu and the others' morale.

They also knew Hu Yifei's personality: strong, domineering, and unreasonable—a carbon copy of Jiang Lai.

However, the only difference between Jiang Lai and Hu Yifei is that Jiang Lai is good at assessing situations.

Hu Yifei, however, doesn't care about all that. Even if something is wrong, she insists on making it right, without considering any other external factors.

With Hu Yifei's personality, most people would just grit their teeth and let it go in front of ordinary people, but in Yang Chu's circle, it would offend people and even make her vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

After hearing Wang Manni's words, Hu Yifei understood what her father, Hu Zhanneng, meant when he said, "Hu Yifei followed Yang Chu, and Yang Chu even suffered a loss!"

Hu Yifei remained silent for a while before looking up at Wang Manni and asking, "Is there anything else?"

Wang Manni nodded and said, "There are many more. Your kind-hearted help may very well be a weakness that others are exploiting against the Yang family."

"Am I wrong for being kind-hearted?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't ask such a question!"

Hu Yifei frowned slightly upon hearing Wang Manni's words, but after thinking about it carefully for a while, she understood what was going on.

This made Hu Yifei understand why the question of "to help or not to help" has become a social problem.

"Any more?"

Wang Manni shook her head and looked at Hu Yifei, saying, "What's the point of asking more questions? Are you sure you can change? If you really want to be with Yang Chu, I have a suggestion for you: don't care about anything else except going to and from get off work every day. Just follow Yang Chu around and learn from him, or learn from the people Yang Chu has arranged for you. Wait for them to say that you can do things independently."

Hu Yifei frowned and looked at Wang Manni and Fang Wenxi.

Are you two also learning from Yang Chu?

Wang Manni nodded and said, "I'm now learning how to manage the restaurant next door from Lai Lai."

Fang Wenxi shook her head and looked at Hu Yifei, saying, "I'm just running between home, the hospital, and the bar! I don't care about anything else."

Zuberai raised his hand and looked at Hu Yifei, saying, "Me too! I'm now learning how to manage a bar from Sister Jiang Lai and Yang Chu! And a record store too!"

After listening to the three of them, Hu Yifei looked at Andy, who hadn't said a word since arriving at the bar.

Andy understood what Hu Yifei meant, smiled and looked at Hu Yifei, saying, "I am now the CFO of Shengxuan Group. My life revolves around home, the company, and the bar."

After listening to the four people's words, Hu Yifei fell completely silent. From their words, Hu Yifei understood her problem: "meddling in other people's business."

Hu Yifei clashed with Yang Chu and the others because she liked to meddle in other people's business; otherwise, their relationship wouldn't have become so strained.

Thinking of this, Hu Yifei turned to look at Lin Wanyu and the others. Only now did Hu Yifei realize that it was because of her meddling that her friends who cared about her the most had given up their dreams.
