Xiuxiu originally wanted to have a serious talk with Mr. Song Yuanhuan about the "private stash" of money, but in the end, she was persuaded by him and held the passbook in her hand, thinking to herself, "Well, isn't all this hidden money eventually handed over obediently anyway? As an adult, I won't quibble over this."
Song Yuanhuan seemed indifferent about handing over the money; after giving it to Xiuxiu, he got busy with the Military District. He asked her to take good care of herself, then with a stern face and furrowed brows, he reluctantly returned to the military base.
Xiuxiu lived in a rental in the city and occasionally had spare time to visit Sichuan Pavilion to check on the business turnover. The rest of her time she spent thinking about buying a house.
