As for Hua Chuyao's intentions, apart from the beguiled Hua Yunshang, even Hua Wence was well aware of them in his heart. They even thought about asking Meng Shichen's father for help, but they probably didn't realize that the reason Hua Chuyao was having such a hard time was all because of Meng Shichen's doings.
And given Gavin's personality, once he knew about that matter, he would have dealt with Hua Chuyao. Originally, Meng Shichen wanted to spare Qin Yiyi some difficulty, so he covered up part of the truth. Gavin only knew that Qin Yiyi was hurt but did not know the reason. He only showed such gentleness and was easy to talk to when he was alone with Qin Yiyi.
Thankfully, Hua Yunshang knew that the Qin Family didn't like Hua Chuyao, so she didn't bring it up at the dinner table. Otherwise, the old master might have turned hostile on the spot, and the hard-won lively atmosphere would have been ruined again.
