On this day, the Lin family welcomed the joy of victory amidst trepidation.

They had no idea that while they were waiting for the Chen family's reaction, the Chen family had already fallen into a state of desperation.

Chen Xing couldn't come at all.

Yesterday, the Lin family was sued and taken to the government office, and last night he lost five old customers with whom he had been doing business for many years.

In order to win back old customers, Chen Xing worked outside all night and only returned at dawn.

As a result, just as they sat down in the hall, before they could even warm up their stools, news came in that the Chen family's main business of medicinal materials and porcelain was squeezed out! At least half of the market share was taken away!

Chen Xing's eyes turned black, and a mouthful of blood choked in his chest, unable to swallow or spit out.

The Jin family is serious about this!

The first time he was warned, he didn't take any action on the surface, but was secretly making shady moves. This angered the Jin family!

The Jin family didn't even bother to verify who was the mastermind behind the Lin family's lawsuit. When something happened to the Lin family, the Jin family directly took action against the Chen family!

It seemed that no matter who harmed the Lin family, all the blame was put on Chen Xing, and he started a siege in the shopping mall!

"Master, our losses are still increasing. What should we do?" Chen Hongyang stood on one side, bent over and lowered his head. He didn't dare to stand up at all, for fear that one mistake would cause his anger.

Chen Xing's back collapsed, and he slumped in the armchair. He raised his head and closed his eyes, saying weakly, "Hurry up and prepare a generous gift. I will go to Yuanzhou City in person to apologize to the Jin family."

"…What about the Lin family?"

Got no answer.

Chen Hongyang felt heavy and cold in his heart. The master was bowing to the Jin family. "I will go and prepare the gifts right away."

Footsteps left the hall.

Chen Xing did not open his eyes. The pain of hatred in his heart was still there, accompanied by an even stronger sense of powerlessness.

When faced with a real blow from the Jin family, the Chen family had no power to fight back at all, which also made him clearly see the disparity between the two sides.

Yesterday afternoon, the magistrate suddenly sent someone over to return all the gold, silver and jewelry that he had given him. He didn't say anything, but he made everything clear.

This network of contacts is completely severed.

He couldn't even understand why the county magistrate, who had been a little cold and distant at first after the Jin family's warning, would suddenly cut off ties with him so decisively, fearing that he would have any connection with him again.

It seemed as if I would be implicated by him in the next moment.

Without the protection of the county magistrate, the Chen family was like a local tyrant with its fangs pulled out. Even if they still had other networks of relationships, they were nothing compared to a behemoth like the Jin family.

Can't fight anymore.

This time he can only admit defeat.

The Lin family can no longer move.

Sacrificing the entire Chen Mansion for the Lin family is like hitting a tile with jade. He is not crazy yet.

The Jin family, far away in the capital, was also in chaos.

"I told you yesterday that I would take you out today! How dare you run away so early in the morning, you bastard!"

Jin Qianlai's face turned pale, and he chased the rabbit around the house with a feather duster in his hand, "If I didn't send someone to catch you, would you have stayed out all day and not come back?"

Jin Duobao ran around the tables, chairs and vases in the living room like a flexible ball, panting as he ran and retorted, "If you didn't insist on taking me to Yuxi Village, I wouldn't run away! I don't want to go to the countryside in the remote mountains! What's fun in a remote and poor place? You'll get bitten by mosquitoes even if you squat in a toilet! I won't go, I won't go!"

Jin Qianlai was so angry that he was shaking. "Your father wanted to take you out but you refused to go. Instead, you kept running to the Ruan family, praising others like ancestors and treating your father like an enemy. You wanted to make him angry to death! Why did you come back? You might as well just go to the Ruan family and be someone's son! And don't call me dad anymore!"

The servants standing by hung their heads and dared not utter a word.

If the old man and the old lady hadn't stopped him, the young master would have really been beaten today.

"Alright, alright, if Duobao doesn't want to go, forget it. As a father, why are you arguing with your child?" Old Mrs. Jin pulled a chair next to her to make room for her precious grandson to escape. "Besides, you're going over there to discuss business with someone. How can Duobao help you if you take him with you?"

Looking at the old man who "accidentally" blocked his way again, Jinqianlai threw the feather duster to the ground fiercely, "He is eight years old this year! The Guo family's boy can already discuss business with others, the Wei family's boy can talk to others clearly, and even the six-year-old grandson of the Gan family knows the etiquette of receiving people... Who doesn't praise the boys of each family? Only Jinqianlai's son is a joke!"

When money comes, you close your eyes, and when you open them again, you are filled with deep disappointment.

The Jin family has been the president of the Wonju City Chamber of Commerce for more than 20 years and dominates the business world.

Unfortunately, the only child in the family is not ambitious enough. Because of the things he has done, countless people laugh at the Jin family behind their backs.

"Dad, Mom, I'm not afraid of losing face, nor do I ask him to be very successful. Even if he can't do business, the Jin family's wealth is enough for him to squander for several lifetimes. I just hope he can be more sensible. Is this a high request?"

After saying this, Jin Qianlai left the living room.

There was a brief silence in the living room.

The servants' skin was even more tense than before.

After a while, a sigh broke the silence, "Fanghua, take Duobao downstairs to eat. He must be hungry after making such a fuss for so long."

Gu Fanghua frowned, "Dad, Mom, you haven't had lunch yet."

Mr. Jin waved his hand and said, "I'm old and don't have much appetite. We'll eat later. Go ahead."

Leaving the living room and walking to the back garden, Gu Fanghua dismissed the servants who were accompanying them, took her son's hand, and sat down in the pavilion in the garden.

Taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping away the tears on her son's face, Gu Fanghua rubbed his head and said softly, "You just love to argue with your father. If you really don't want to go to Yuxi Village, you can tell your father and he won't force you to go. Your father is not an unreasonable person. Why do you have to make him angry?"

Jin Duobao lowered his head, tears falling down again. He sobbed and asked, "Mom, are grandparents disappointed in me too?"

"Is there any elder in the world who doesn't want their children to be successful? Because they truly love you, they want you to succeed. Your grandparents are like that, and so is your father."

"He's not. He doesn't know anything. Every time he sees me, he just scolds me and compares me with others. If it weren't for the fact that his son couldn't be replaced, he definitely wouldn't want me."

"You said your father knows nothing, so what do you want him to know? Why don't you tell him? People need to communicate with each other. Only when you understand each other's thoughts can you understand each other better. Just like you don't understand why your father took you to Yuxi Village, if you ask, maybe you can get the answer. It's not just for you to get bitten by mosquitoes as you think."

Gu Fanghua paused for a moment and continued, "For example, if mother wants to know why you always make your father angry, can you tell mother the reason? We are the only ones who want to leave here. If you don't want others to know, mother can keep it a secret for you."
