Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

He Wenhui raised her head and looked into Yang Ming's eyes, "I will return it to you as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible?" Yang Ming sneered, "Do you know how much money you owe me? What are you going to pay me back with?"

He Wenhui was silent, she knew she couldn't answer this question. She felt helpless and desperate, as if the whole world had collapsed.

Yang Ming looked at He Wenhui's silence, and an inexplicable pleasure surged in his heart. He knew that he had successfully put He Wenhui in trouble, but he did not feel satisfied. Instead, he felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness. He realized that he did not really want to hurt He Wenhui, but just wanted to prove his own worth.

However, when he saw He Wenhui's helpless eyes, he suddenly realized his mistake. He knew that he should not use this method to prove his worth, and he should not let He Wenhui suffer such pain.

"I'm sorry." Yang Ming whispered, "I...I shouldn't have done this to you."

He Wenhui raised her head and looked into Yang Ming's eyes. She saw the guilt and regret in his eyes, and also saw the loneliness and confusion deep in his heart. She suddenly understood Yang Ming's intentions, and also understood her own situation.

"It's okay." He Wenhui said softly, "I will pay you back as soon as possible."

"Wenhui, you look worried." Yang Ming's voice broke her contemplation. He sat opposite He Wenhui, his eyes revealing concern.

He Wenhui raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes: "I...I may need some money."

Yang Ming smiled slightly, as if he had expected it: "I know your situation. I can help you, but there is a condition."

"Conditions?" He Wenhui was a little surprised.

"Yes, conditions." Yang Ming nodded, "I can forgive your debt and bear your subsequent tuition and living expenses. But after graduation, you need to work as my secretary for five years."

He Wenhui was stunned. This condition made her both excited and hesitant. Five years of secretarial work meant a stable life and relief for her family, but it also meant that she had to give up her dreams and pursuits.

"I know this is a difficult decision for you." Yang Ming's voice was soft but firm, "But your family needs your help, your sister, brother, and sick mother. Can you bear to see them suffer?"

He Wenhui's eyes were red, and she thought of her family's haggard faces and endless worries. She couldn't bear to watch them suffer, and Yang Ming's conditions seemed to be her only way out.

"I...I promise you." He Wenhui's voice was trembling a little, but her eyes were extremely firm.

Yang Ming smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, Wenhui. I believe you will be an excellent secretary."

From that day on, He Wenhui began her career as a secretary. Yang Ming patiently taught her how to organize documents, arrange meetings, and handle various trivial matters. She gradually adapted to this busy and fulfilling life and slowly transformed from a student to a professional.

However, all this did not escape Liu Hongchang's eyes. He was He Wenhui's childhood sweetheart and the closest person in her heart. He saw the tacit understanding and closeness between He Wenhui and Yang Ming, and also felt his inner uneasiness and jealousy.

Liu Hongchang wandered outside the office for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door. He saw He Wenhui busy sorting out documents, while Yang Ming was smiling and instructing her. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, both worrying about He Wenhui and jealous of Yang Ming.

"Wenhui, do you really want to do this?" Liu Hongchang's voice trembled a little.

He Wenhui looked up and saw the worry and uneasiness in Liu Hongchang's eyes. She sighed softly: "Hongchang, I know you are worried about me. But this is my own choice, and I need to take this responsibility."

Liu Hongchang was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I understand. But no matter what, I will be by your side to support you."

What made it even harder for him to accept was that he learned that He Wenhui and Yang Ming were assigned to the same office. He Wenhui was his ex-girlfriend and the eternal pain in his heart. He couldn't imagine that the two people he once loved deeply would now work under the same roof.

Time passed by, and the office door remained closed. Liu Hongchang's heart became heavier as time passed. He was worried that He Wenhui would be bullied by Yang Ming, and even more worried that she would get into trouble because of her mistakes.

Finally, after a long wait, the office door slowly opened and He Wenhui appeared at the door. She looked a little tired, but there was a firm light in her eyes.

Seeing this, Liu Hongchang rushed forward and asked with concern: "Wenhui, are you okay? Did Yang Ming do anything to you?"

He Wenhui looked at Liu Hongchang's anxious expression and couldn't help feeling moved.

But she quickly calmed down and replied calmly: "I'm fine, don't worry. Yang Ming and I are just colleagues, he didn't do anything to me."

Liu Hongchang felt even more uneasy after hearing what He Wenhui said. He thought He Wenhui was covering up the truth for him, so he said even more impulsively: "Wenhui, you don't have to be afraid of him! If he dares to do anything to you, I will definitely settle the score with him!"

He Wenhui felt helpless after hearing what Liu Hongchang said. She knew that Liu Hongchang cared about her, but his misunderstanding made her feel a little embarrassed. So she took a deep breath and decided to tell Liu Hongchang the truth: "Hongchang, you really misunderstood. Yang Ming didn't do anything to me, but helped me a lot."

"What?" Liu Hongchang looked at He Wenhui in surprise, unable to believe his ears.

"It's like this," He Wenhui explained, "I've been having some financial difficulties lately, and I'm a little tight on tuition and living expenses. After Yang Ming learned about my situation, he offered to lend me money. I'm really grateful to him."

Liu Hongchang couldn't help but feel ashamed after hearing what He Wenhui said. He realized how dark and narrow his previous thoughts were. He actually thought so badly of Yang Ming and even wanted to stand up for him.

"Wenhui, I...I really wronged you." Liu Hongchang lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.

He Wenhui was moved by Liu Hongchang's expression. She knew that Liu Hongchang was a kind person, but sometimes he was too impulsive and extreme. So she patted his shoulder gently and comforted him: "It's okay, Hongchang. As long as you can understand me, that's all."

Liu Hongchang raised his head and looked at He Wenhui's gentle eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that he had missed too much, but now he still had a chance to make up for it.
