Chen Yina was stunned by Chen Haoxuan's words. Her beloved Brother Xuan actually praised another woman's chest. She speculated that something intimate must have happened between him and Zhou Kexin, perhaps even sleeping together; otherwise, how would Chen Haoxuan know that Zhou Kexin had a large and fair chest?
Chen Yina did not wake Chen Haoxuan immediately. She was a smart woman who understood when to do what. She remembered her mother once told her that all men want to stray, and to prevent them from doing so, they must be made to love you wholeheartedly, enough that they feel guilty when tempted.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the glass window, brightening Chen Haoxuan's room. He woke up, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the ceiling. From the ceiling, he confirmed that this was indeed his room. Turning his head, he saw the sleeping Chen Yina.
"What’s wrong with me? I'm already grown up—why am I still having spring dreams?" Chen Haoxuan thought to himself, feeling conflicted. Last night, he had dreamed of being in Zhou Kexin's room with her, so upon waking, he wanted to confirm whether he was still dreaming.
As the sleeping Chen Yina sensed a pair of eyes watching her, she slowly opened her eyes and found her beloved Brother Xuan looking at her. Chen Yina smiled sweetly at Chen Haoxuan and said, "Brother Xuan, good morning."
"Good morning, darling," Chen Haoxuan replied gently, kissing her forehead and smiling.
"Are you getting up?" Chen Yina asked reluctantly. She had gone to bed late the previous night and wanted to sleep a little longer; she wished for Chen Haoxuan to stay with her.
"Yeah, I got drunk before the banquet ended yesterday. I'm a bit worried, so I want to check on things," Chen Haoxuan said.
"Don't worry; nothing happened at the banquet yesterday. Everyone had a great time," Chen Yina smiled.
"I still need to go check. You keep sleeping! I'll make breakfast for you later," Chen Haoxuan said.
After getting up and getting dressed, washing his face and brushing his teeth, Chen Haoxuan went outside. He arrived at the grain drying area and saw that all the tables and chairs had been moved away and the ground had been cleaned. After that, he headed to Chen Yina's house.
As usual, Chen Yina's parents woke up very early. Upon arriving at their home, Chen Haoxuan called out loudly to the inside, "Uncle and Auntie, I'm here to pay my respects!"
"Is that you, Xuan? Come in, we're having breakfast!" The voice of Li Ping came from inside the house.
Chen Haoxuan walked into the house, sat down, and grabbed a piece of bread from the table. Li Ping and the others had changed a lot; in the past, they only ate rice for breakfast, but now that life had improved, they could enjoy bread and fried dough sticks.
"Auntie, Uncle, was yesterday's banquet smooth?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
"Yes, it went very well. However, there's one troublesome thing: there were a lot of leftover dishes from the banquet yesterday, both cooked and uncooked. You got drunk yesterday, so I didn't dare to make any decisions on my own and didn't handle it," Li Ping replied.
"Keep some for ourselves and give the rest to the villagers," Chen Haoxuan said generously.
"Okay, I'm sure the people in our village will be very happy," Li Ping said cheerfully. After the banquet ended yesterday, many women had come to ask her if they could take home any leftover food.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you. I need to head back; Nana hasn't had breakfast yet!" Chen Haoxuan stood up and casually took two pieces of bread for Chen Yina.
After Chen Haoxuan left, Li Ping went outside. The weather was very hot now, and she was worried that if she didn't distribute the cooked dishes to the villagers soon, they would spoil. It would be such a waste if that happened, so she needed to notify the villagers as early as possible.
Every morning in Chen Family Village was usually very quiet, but today Li Ping broke that silence. After receiving her notice, the villagers of Chen Family Village rushed over with large basins; their basins could hold more than the dishes, which naturally reflected their eagerness.
There were too many people for Li Ping to manage alone, so she let the villagers take what they wanted and fill their containers with whatever they liked.
Perhaps it was because the aroma of yesterday's feast had been carried by the breeze elsewhere; otherwise, why would there be so many stray dogs, cats, and rats around Chen Family Village today?
Chen Haorong had set off early this morning in his van to Pingyuan County. He couldn't wait any longer; he was eager to obtain Chen Haoxuan's wealth and hear news of his demise. So he took the fifty thousand yuan check given to him by Li Xin to the bank in Pingyuan County. After withdrawing the money, he planned to hire a hitman. Initially, he wanted the one hundred thousand yuan from Li Xin, but she refused. She said she wanted to buy clothes; selfish people are hard to change. If there were no benefits involved, not even one thousand yuan would she be willing to part with.
Chen Haoxuan fried two eggs, poured two cups of milk, and added two pieces of bread he casually took from Chen Yina's house. This was the breakfast for Chen Haoxuan and Chen Yina today.
After having breakfast, Chen Haoxuan drove out alone. Like Chen Haorong, he was heading to Pingyuan County, but while one intended to hire a killer to eliminate the other, the other aimed to undermine the opponent's economy through business means.
Chen Haoxuan arrived at a Wanhe Mall in Pingyuan County, which was the small shopping center owned by Chen Haorong. He parked his car at the entrance and put on his sunglasses before entering the mall. Once inside, Chen Haoxuan couldn't help but smile; what was a mall? It was supposed to be more upscale than a supermarket, yet Chen Haorong's mall was chaotic with a hodgepodge of items for sale and incomplete shops.
After browsing around, Chen Haoxuan left. As he walked out, he glanced back at the mall owned by Chen Haorong and sighed, "It seems I overestimated you in the past; you're just about as useless as anyone else, except your luck is slightly better."
Chen Haoxuan wandered around near Wanhe Mall, looking for a suitable place. The area was quite lively with shops everywhere, but finding a location to compete with Chen Haorong seemed challenging.
Unable to find a larger space, he called Wang Long to ask for help. People in the construction business usually have various connections in real estate and government.
Chen Haoxuan had chosen the right person; Wang Long happened to know someone who built a high-rise building just next door to Wanhe Mall. However, there was a bit of an issue: the first floor was filled with small shops while floors two and above were residential units. It wasn't impossible to convert it into a mall since the building was constructed with a framework first and then walls added. As long as they didn't tear down any supporting columns, the structure would remain intact. The biggest question was whether the owner of the building would agree.
