Jiang Dong They were not polite either, as thirty-five people beat up fifty thugs who dared not resist. According to Chen Haoxuan, when dealing with those who bully the weak and fear the strong, one must respond with violence to instill fear in them, ensuring they never dare to provoke you again.
Chen Haoxuan returned to the villa, while the unfortunate thugs were severely beaten by Jiang Dong and fled in disgrace. It is believed that when they see Chen Haorong again, they will harbor hatred towards him.
Li Xin, upon returning home, was met with her son yelling at her. Even her husband and daughter-in-law scolded her, calling her names. Li Xin was not one to take it lightly; given her personality, she couldn't help but retaliate when others insulted her.
The loud argument from Li Xin's family attracted many villagers to gather at her doorstep to watch the commotion.
Chen Haoxuan, whether intentionally or not, drove his BMW to Li Xin's house. He unloaded a box of cigars from the car and handed one to each male villager. Afterwards, he sat in front of the car, chatting with the villagers while watching the excitement at Li Xin's home.
The argument in Li Xin's family lasted for three to four hours before it finally subsided. This was mainly due to the large crowd gathered outside their home; otherwise, given the intensity of their quarrel, it could have gone on until dark.
On August 18th, due to Chen Haorong bringing people to extort Chen Haoxuan, Chen Haoxuan felt quite displeased. Therefore, he decided he would use business tactics to crush the small market opened by Chen Haorong, making it clear that anyone who provoked him would face dire consequences, even if they were family.
On this day, the villagers of Chen Family Village moved their tables and chairs onto the cement ground where they dried rice. Thousands of tables and chairs filled the entire drying area, creating a magnificent scene. In the history of Chen Family Village, no one had ever hosted a banquet inviting the entire village because it is a large village, and treating everyone to a meal is no small expense.
Now considered a significant figure in New City, Chen Haoxuan expected most of his guests to attend. On the 19th, Chen Family Village was bustling with people as cars arrived one after another. Villagers from nearby areas who were unaware of why Chen Haoxuan was hosting a banquet speculated that some important person must be visiting.
By inviting so many people for a meal, Chen Haoxuan would definitely not incur losses since the red envelopes from businessmen like Zhou Xiang would be substantial. Additionally, Chen Haoxuan gained fame from this event, which could translate into profit—similar to how he previously earned money by collaborating with others using Hua Tianyu's reputation.
With so many guests, Chen Haoxuan found it hard to greet everyone personally. Thus, he simply took a megaphone to address the guests, informing them where they would be dining and what they needed to pay attention to.
Sitting at the edge of the crowd, Zhou Kexin searched for Chen Haoxuan. There were too many people for her to find him. She asked her father, "Dad, why hasn't Chen Haoxuan come over to greet us?"
"Haha... didn't you see how many people came today? How can he handle all of them alone! Besides, he's a big shot now, bigger than your dad; it's normal for him to be busy," Zhou Xiang explained with a smile.
Sitting at the same table, Hua Tianyu joked with Zhou Kexin, "Zhou Kexin, are you that anxious after just a few days without seeing Xuan? If you don't see Xuan for a month, do you think you'll get lovesick?"
"Vivi is the same; she just hides her feelings," Zhou Xiang added on behalf of her daughter to Hua Tianyu.
"Hehe... I think this is how it should go. Since you both don't want to stay here anyway, why don't you two go find Chen Haoxuan?" Hua Tianyu suggested to Zhou Kexin and her friend.
"Okay, then we'll go. Vivi, let's go," Zhou Kexin said happily.
Zhou Kexin and Hua Lingwei went to Chen Haoxuan's house. The security guard at the entrance informed them that Chen Haoxuan was at Chen Yina's place. If it were someone else's house, it would be fine, but since it was Chen Yina's home, they hesitated. They were rivals with Chen Yina; would she kick them out if they went there?
The courtyard of Zhou Kexin's house was lively, with many people cleaning vegetables inside. Li Ping and her husband were busy. Li Ping inadvertently noticed two beautiful girls standing at her door. She recognized them from the last auction hosted by Chen Haoxuan; she knew they were guests invited by him. So she walked to the door and greeted them with a warm smile, asking, "Hello, ladies, do you need something?"
"Auntie, hello! I'm here to find Chen Haoxuan. Is he inside?" Zhou Kexin politely asked Li Ping.
Upon hearing that the two girls were looking for Chen Haoxuan, Li Ping felt a twinge of unease. These girls were too beautiful; although they were slightly less attractive than her daughter, their attire indicated they were either wealthy or noble. She worried that they might compete with her daughter for Chen Haoxuan's attention. If that were the case, her daughter would be in danger.
Li Ping asked Zhou Kexin and her friend, "Can you tell me what your relationship with Xuan is? What do you need him for?"
"Auntie, we're all classmates of Chen Haoxuan. We're here to hang out with him!" Zhou Kexin replied with a smile.
Generally, girls wouldn't actively seek out boys to hang out with unless their relationship was special. This was Li Ping's analysis of the situation. She probed further and asked Zhou Kexin and her friend, "Do you like him?"
Zhou Kexin and Hua Lingwei were taken aback by Li Ping's words. They were curious about how this aunt knew that they both liked Chen Haoxuan. Could it be that Chen Yina had shared their embarrassing moments with the villagers of Chen Family Village? Zhou Kexin spoke up again, asking Li Ping, "Auntie, how did you know we liked Chen Haoxuan? Did someone named Chen Yina tell you?"
Li Ping smiled wryly and replied, "No one told me; I guessed it myself. Also, I should let you know that I am Chen Yina's mother, Li Ping. My daughter is now with Xuan, and I hope you can bless them. Thank you. My home is quite chaotic right now, so please wait here for a moment while I go call Xuan for you."
Li Ping turned and went back to the yard, calling out loudly to the house, "Xuan, come out for a moment; your classmates are looking for you."
"Oh, I'll be right there," came Chen Haoxuan's voice from inside.
When Chen Haoxuan ran outside, he was delighted to see that the ones looking for him were Zhou Kexin and Hua Lingwei. He happily said to them, "I knew you would come! Let's go to my house and hang out for a bit."
Once they arrived at Chen Haoxuan's home, Zhou Kexin and Hua Lingwei remained silent. Although they had been in good spirits before, they couldn't feel happy after hearing Li Ping's words.
