"This house looks very old." Chen Xiaolong didn't help. He just waited for Chen Pingan to remove the sheets and then sat on the sofa and watched.

Chen Ping'an didn't expect him to help.

I opened the window to ventilate, then went to get some tap water to boil.

"People in Yun Province love to drink tea. Would you like to try my tea?"

He began to rummage through boxes and drawers looking for tea.

It’s a pity that when Chen Shaohua and his family moved, he was already at Peking University and had no idea where his things were.

Chen Xiaolong noticed that something was wrong with him and said with a smile, "Forget it, I don't really like drinking tea."

After Chen Pingan gave an awkward explanation, the two of them finally quieted down.

Just when he didn't know what to say, Chen Xiaolong suddenly asked:

"I'm not familiar with Yuncheng. You've lived here for many years. Do you think this community is also included in the scope of this project?"

Chen Ping'an's ability to remember everything he saw was immediately revealed.

He took out his computer, quickly opened it, pulled out the map and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.

"If I remember correctly, according to what Third Uncle said, this time our Chen family mainly wants to start operations in two areas at the same time, right?"

He pointed to the map and said, “My home is here, in the North District of Nakajima.

My house is definitely not within the demolition range.

The project demolition area is here, an old residential area in Linhai District.

In Yuncheng, this place is considered the oldest community.

It used to be a place where only rich people with connections could live. Later, as other places gradually developed, only people from poor families moved here.

But the housing prices in Yuncheng are not low right now. Of course, they can’t be compared with those in Beijing…”

It was not until now that he realized that the memories of his previous life had changed because of him.

In his memory, during the fifteen years, the Linhai District began to be renovated only after about four or five years.

The first area to be renovated is the area where the houses he chose for Huihui are located, because the planning of the subway will soon begin, probably around next year or the year after.

That is, as soon as the plan came out, housing prices along the planned area began to soar.

Subsequently, huge investments in demolition and reconstruction emerged.

But now, because he was reborn, and because of the disputes between him, the Fang family, and the Chen family, the Chen family started to renovate the old and dilapidated houses in Linhai District under the slogan of venting his anger...

While Chen Xiaolong was looking at the computer screen, Chen Ping'an's mind had already wandered elsewhere.

"I heard that the money you used to buy more than a dozen houses for Huihui came from winning the lottery?"

While he was daydreaming, Chen Xiaolong suddenly asked a question.

After Chen Pingan came back to his senses, he nodded and said, "Well, I'm lucky. It's a pity that I didn't buy enough."

Chen Xiaolong smiled and said nothing. After a while, he asked again:

"You've lived in this house since you were a child. You returned to the Fang family in the third year of junior high? And then you were kicked out before the college entrance examination. Can you tell me why?"

He took out the ashtray from under the coffee table and placed it in front of him on the coffee table.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and gestured to Chen Pingan, "Want one?"

Chen Pingan shook his head, "I don't smoke."

"Third Uncle should have told you everything about me, why are you asking me about it in person?"

He was a little curious and asked casually.

After lighting a cigarette, Chen Xiaolong said, "What others say is always less true than what you say.

My dad likes to exaggerate when he speaks, so I usually have to squeeze out a lot of water from what he says, otherwise I always get deceived."

Chen Pingan became even more curious.

"Your father...what did your third uncle lie to you about?"

Chen Xiaolong waved his hands, "Nothing, nothing.

Let's talk about your story. I'm actually quite curious. You said your biological parents took you back, but your whole family disliked you. So what was their purpose in bringing you back?

Of course, Chen Pingan now will not regard his past as a scar.

He also doesn't mind others bringing up this topic in person.

"It's nothing, actually. But if you were to ask him to bring me back, it was probably because I looked so much like him.

Basically, as soon as he sees my face, he knows I am his son.

Whether I like it or not, he can't let me stay outside any longer for the sake of face.

So, in the end, that’s what happened.”

There is no need to explain the detailed process, and it is useless.

He didn't need to gain sympathy by playing the victim. Moreover, although the boy in front of him was the same age as him, he actually believed that he was not as mature as the other one.

"Your brother's name is Fang Hongjun, right?"

Chen Xiaolong asked casually, “After I heard about your situation, I started to inquire about your parents’ family.

As for your father's illegitimate son, he hired someone to drive a car to kill you, and was killed in Country M, along with his mother, Qin Bailian."

Without waiting for Chen Ping'an's expression to freeze, he smiled and continued, "You see, I said I don't have any obvious weaknesses, and this is one of them."

Chen Pingan opened his mouth and nodded after a long while, saying, "I'm indeed not as good as you!"

Chen Xiaolong shook his head and refused to admit it.

“Maybe you still have some misunderstandings.

After I knew this, I started asking about you because it was my habit, not because I had any interest or thoughts about you.

He will not take advantage of this opportunity like my father did to get involved in the south and drag the Huo family into it.

As for whether or not you really have to deal with other people later, that all depends on you.

So your role in this whole thing is very important.

In this respect, I am not as good as you."

Chen Pingan closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Anyway, for any family, profit comes first.

For example, in this incident, you are completely being exploited, but can you say that your family is doing something wrong?

Even if it's a normal business investment or opening up markets in the south, you can't say anything, right?

Besides, your presence has allowed my father, second uncle, and possibly eldest uncle to work together to find an opponent.

When investing in Yunnan Province, one or two of the first ones to stand out will always be punished.

With you, the Fang family will be the first to stand out."

Chen Pingan was not angry. He thought for a moment before asking, "Huo family, what's the point of the Huo family coming here?"

Chen Xiaolong flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "My aunt is from the Huo family."

Chen Pingan nodded, "So, is this also the reason for your marriage with Huo Shiyun?

During my four years in the Fang family, I was a nobody. I knew nothing and had never been involved in any of their affairs.

So there are things I wouldn’t expect…”

Chen Xiaolong took a puff of his cigarette and said bitterly, "That old bitch Huo Shiyun wants to marry me? She can dream on!

Just understand one thing: I never leave my passport.

I can run away anytime I want!"

"I'm afraid both Third Uncle and Great Uncle would agree. Given Great Uncle's status and position, what if he were to speak? For the sake of the family's interests, you shouldn't refuse!"

Chen Pingan said slowly: "I heard from my father that you went to Europe for other reasons. Of course, I am not clear about the details, but it should be because your ideas are too different from those of your uncle.

I just want to say that no matter how great your ideas are, you still lack one thing..."
