As they ran, the ten of them moved in perfect unison, creating a sound that resembled a massive beast approaching. Li Xin and Chen Zhenghao thought Jiang Dong and the others intended to capture them, causing them to instinctively take a few steps back, fear evident in their eyes.
"What do you want?" Li Ping positioned herself protectively in front of Chen Zhenghao and Li Xin, addressing Jiang Dong seriously.
"Aunt Ping, we don't want anything! We were just ordered to guard the gate," Jiang Dong explained to Li Ping.
"It seems he really doesn't want to forgive me," Chen Zhenghao said dejectedly. He would rather have Chen Haoxuan hit him or curse at him than be ignored like this.
"Zhenghao, we treated him poorly before; he definitely won't forgive us. Let's just go!" Li Xin said tearfully to Chen Zhenghao. She knew everything had happened because of her; if she hadn't gone out and messed around with men, neither Chen Zhenghao nor she would have doubted that Chen Haoxuan was their child.
"Wait for me here; I'll go talk to Xuan," Li Ping said to the couple before quickly walking into the villa.
In the villa's living room, Li Ping found Chen Haoxuan. She approached him and said sternly, "What exactly is going on? You need to give me an answer!"
Chen Haoxuan looked up and replied calmly, "I don't want anything; I just want to live my life. Is that not allowed? Why do you insist that I be with them? What benefits do they bring me? Money or happiness?"
"Having them around makes it feel like a family," Li Ping replied earnestly.
"Really? I don't think so. I feel great right now. I have a luxurious villa, a beautiful girlfriend, and you are my parents. Living together is a family—a very happy family. So I don't want to ruin this happiness, and no one else is allowed to either," Chen Haoxuan said lightly. His expression gave nothing away, but inside he was furious. Whenever someone mentioned Chen Zhenghao and his wife, thoughts like "you are an illegitimate child" or "you are a bastard" flooded his mind, making him uncontrollably angry.
Having said this much, if she continued speaking, it would mean she didn't want to be related to Chen Haoxuan anymore. Li Ping shook her head helplessly and said to Chen Haoxuan, "Alright! I'll just let them leave."
Li Ping exited the villa and walked up to Chen Zhenghao and Li Xin, sighing as she said, "I'm sorry; he still can't forgive you. You should go back! Perhaps in a few years he will come around and might recognize you."
Hearing the words "go back," Chen Zhenghao suddenly remembered that his house had already been sold to someone else. He awkwardly said to Li Ping, "Li Ping, our house has been sold to someone else, and we currently have nowhere to stay. Can we continue to keep our things at your place? Don't worry, as soon as I find a job, I'll look for a house and move everything out immediately."
"How about this? I'll help you buy your house back, as a way to repay Xuan," Li Ping replied.
"No, Li Ping, you've already helped us a lot. We can't trouble you any further," Chen Zhenghao awkwardly responded. If it weren't for Li Ping's assistance during his illness, he would have long since met the King of Hell.
"It's fine, let's go! We'll find Sun Fei," Li Ping said. Sun Fei was from the neighboring village of Chen Family Village and was considered a small wealthy man who was in the sand business.
They walked for half an hour and arrived at Sun Fei's house. Sun Fei was a shrewd businessman. When he saw Li Xin borrowing money everywhere, he suggested that Li Xin sell him the house. Originally, that Small Villa should have been worth five or six hundred thousand Renminbi, but he insisted on a price of two hundred thousand Renminbi. With no other options, Li Xin sold the house to Sun Fei for two hundred thousand Renminbi.
Now that Li Ping and the others wanted to buy the house back, Sun Fei smiled and held up his palm to them, saying, "If you want to buy it back, bring me five hundred thousand Renminbi; otherwise, there's nothing to discuss." Sun Fei didn't dare raise the price too high because he worried that Li Ping and the others might refuse and go elsewhere to buy or build another house.
"You are being unreasonable. I sold it to you for two hundred thousand Renminbi; now you want five hundred thousand Renminbi to buy it back? That's an extra three hundred thousand Renminbi! Your heart is too black."
Sun Fei sat in a rosewood chair with his legs crossed and smirked, "Once you sold me the house, it's mine. It's my property! I can sell it for whatever price I want; isn't that my freedom?"
"With five hundred thousand Renminbi, we could build a better Small Villa. So if you're not selling it, we'll just spend our own money to build another one," Li Ping coldly replied.
Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Sun Fei relented and unhappily asked, "Then how much do you want to pay?"
Li Ping held up three fingers and said, "Three hundred thousand Renminbi."
"Absolutely not! That Small Villa is worth five hundred thousand Renminbi. You think you can buy it back for three hundred thousand Renminbi? Don't even think about it!" Sun Fei exclaimed angrily. After years of doing business, how could he not know whether he was making a profit or loss? Although he was still making money now, it was too little for his liking, which left him feeling quite displeased.
"If soft methods don't work, then we have to resort to hard ones," Li Ping said coldly to Sun Fei. "You should know that they are Chen Haoxuan's parents, right? Even though they have separated from Chen Haoxuan, they are still his parents. If Chen Haoxuan sees his parents being taken advantage of, and I say a few bad things about you in front of him, how do you think he will react?"
Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Sun Fei showed a fearful expression. Chen Haoxuan was the richest man in Pingyuan County and also the most powerful person. It was said that the director and mayor of New City had a good relationship with him. Additionally, the notorious Black Wolf from Pingyuan County was also connected to Chen Haoxuan. Such a person! He dared not provoke him.
"Three hundred fifty thousand Renminbi, it can't be any less," Sun Fei said with a sorrowful expression. Originally, he could have made five hundred thousand Renminbi, but now he had lost over a hundred thousand Renminbi. How could he not be upset?
"Three hundred thousand Renminbi. If you don't agree, I will go find Chen Haoxuan. I will tell him that you took advantage of his parents' urgent need for money to trick Li Xin into selling the house to you at an extremely low price. I believe he will consider you one of his enemies, and your underground business might very well be shut down by his influence in the official circles because yours is an illegal operation. When you go out, there's a high chance you could be kidnapped," Li Ping sneered. She had heard from her daughter Chen Yina that Chen Haoxuan knew many people in both official and underground circles.
