CHAPTER 708: CHAPTER 710: HOW CAN YOU CALL HER AUNT

"Xu Brother, however much you need, just say the word. We’re all family here, and we’ll definitely help if we can," Gu Hai said with a smile that was much easier to accept than Fang Yue’s.

Xu Qinghe took a deep breath, thinking that since they had always been in South City and could afford a car, they must be wealthy. Perhaps, she just wanted to help them purely, with no other intentions.

"Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate it," he said.

Just as Xu Qinghe finished speaking, Fang Yue’s voice rang out again, "We genuinely want to help you, please don’t lose substance for the sake of appearance."

"Our factory’s issues are a thing of the past," Xu Qinghe quickly mentioned how their factory had already resumed production.

Fang Yue asked skeptically, "Wasn’t it said that it caused deaths? And it’s still making chili sauce?"

"No," Xu Qinghe firmly denied, "Our chili sauce is completely clean, it hasn’t killed anyone, nor made anyone sick."

Thinking of Nian’an’s suspicions, Xu Qinghe truly couldn’t bring himself to like Gu Hai and Fang Yue. He said, "Our factory is all good. If you don’t believe it, you can come and see for yourselves."

To prove his point, Xu Qinghe quickly spoke to Zhou He and then rode his bicycle to the county. Gu Hai offered him a ride, but Xu Qinghe replied, "No need, I’m more comfortable on my bicycle."

With that, Xu Qinghe got on his bicycle and was the first to head out the door.

The rush at the Chili Sauce Factory slowly decreased. Xiong Xihua and others who were prepared to start work were busy selling chili sauce, and soon, everyone who needed to buy chili sauce had done so.

"Qinghe, what brings you here?" Ji Ying, who had been busy all morning and was about to go home to check on the chicken soup, saw Xu Qinghe arriving.

"The Gu family came," Xu Qinghe said, having cycled fast to get there sooner.

"The Gu family?"

Ji Ying was about to ask if it was Nianhua’s biological parents who had come when she saw Gu Hai and Fang Yue arrive.

Gu Hai was dressed in a shirt and trousers, wearing a silver watch on his wrist and sporting a potbelly, clearly looking wealthy.

Fang Yue wore a flower print dress, carrying a white pearl bag, looking every bit the wife of a wealthy man.

Hospital.

Xu Nianhua saw that Pei Yicheng had finished his IV and wanted to visit the factory, and he sternly refused.

"No, with your injury, you should be resting. How could you be wandering around?" Xu Nianhua’s refusal was especially straightforward.

Pei Yicheng had his own way of thinking. He said, "Nianhua, it’s my back that’s hurt, not my legs. As long as I walk slowly, it’s fine. Otherwise, you can go ask the doctor?"

"No way," Xu Nianhua didn’t care for those details, his injury needed proper rest, and he couldn’t just move about carelessly.

Pei Yicheng felt her concern and wanted to say that such a small injury was no issue at all, but on this matter, Xu Nianhua wouldn’t budge an inch.

Just then, Gu Hai and Fang Yue arrived.

Surprised for a moment, Xu Nianhua then greeted Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying, saying, "Dad, Mom."

"And you..." Ji Ying hinted at Xu Nianhua with her eyes.

Xu Nianhua, as if only then noticing Gu Hai and Fang Yue, politely greeted, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu."

"Nianhua, I am your birth mother. I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. How could you call me auntie?" Fang Yue, hurt by the term ’auntie’, wiped her eyes and said, "Nianhua, back then, I didn’t mean to lose you."
