Zheng Bing watched Liu Shao continue to drink, and he really wanted to ask about the situation.
He wanted to know who exactly Xia Lin was, in case he could get close to her when he delivered the car!
"Cousin, give your little brother some inside information. I won't mention what just happened."
Zheng Bing quietly asked Wang Zhuo, gesturing with his eyes. The implication was: I won't hold your scapegoating against you, but you have to explain things clearly, right?
Wang Zhuo looked embarrassed. It had been too scary earlier, and the after-effects of being hit lingered, so his brain had quickly reacted and betrayed Zheng Bing.
"She's a woman even Liu Shao can't afford to offend. Let alone us, even if Liu Shao offended her, he would be slapped so hard his cheeks would sting."
"From now on, whenever you see this formidable lady, just walk around her. Don't ever offend her. This is all I can tell you. As for her identity, do you think I'm qualified to know?"
Wang Zhuo leaned close to Zheng Bing's ear and whispered.
Hearing this, Zheng Bing instantly felt a chill. He had courted death before.
He was actually still alive?
He truly had a dog's life.
Zheng Bing was terrified. He instantly felt like he was the protagonist of destiny. He naturally wouldn't tell Wang Zhuo how he had offended Xia Lin before, for fear that Wang Zhuo, with his usual personality, would be scared stiff.
The next day.
The Qin family welcomed a guest, who was Cheng Wei's father, Cheng Qin Nian.
After handling matters in Australia, Cheng Qin Nian had flown to Modu without delay.
"Cousin, your health is getting stronger and stronger," Cheng Qin Nian said, smiling at Qin Kai Hu.
Qin Kai Hu was more than twenty years older than Cheng Qin Nian. Judging by Qin Kai Hu's appearance, he looked older than Cheng Qin Nian. However, their spirits seemed comparable.
Since wearing the jade pendant gifted by Xia Feng, Qin Kai Hu had been eating well, sleeping soundly until dawn, and felt as if he had endless energy every day.
If given the chance, Qin Kai Hu felt he could even have another young son.
Qin Kai Hu only thought this privately; he would never do anything as unbecoming of his age. After all, he hadn't ruined his two "accounts" and didn't need to start over.
"Haha... Thanks to you, cousin. I've been in a good mood lately." Qin Kai Hu's hearty laughter filled the entire hall with a joyful atmosphere.
Cheng Wei sat at the far end, looking as if he regretted his life choices, and said nothing while watching the two men.
"Cousin, we are family, so let's not mince words. Actually, I have something to ask of you now that I'm here in Modu," Cheng Qin Nian stated directly.
"Cousin, just say it. I'll do my best to help wherever I can," Qin Kai Hu said with a serious expression.
"Our family has been doing business in Hong Kong for years. In recent years, there hasn't been much room for development in Hong Kong. The mainland is developing very well, and I want to transfer my businesses back to the mainland," Cheng Qin Nian first explained his situation and intentions.
Qin Kai Hu smiled upon hearing this. "Investing in the mainland is a good thing. My second son is in charge of this. I can't say we'll get special favors, but we definitely won't let you lose out."
"Cousin, you also know that I'm not the biggest shareholder in our family. I have a big boss above me, and that big boss's family is also investing in Modu. Can you introduce us?" Cheng Qin Nian said.
"Who is your big boss's family?" Qin Kai Hu asked, looking puzzled.
He felt that Cheng Qin Nian's words had a hidden meaning.
"It's not important who my big boss's family is. I want cousin to help introduce Young Master Xia Feng. My big boss's family seems to have a good relationship with him. It would be even better if you could introduce me to Young Master Xia."
Cheng Qin Nian said this without the slightest blush, immediately wanting to meet Xia Feng.
Qin Kai Hu understood. He then glanced at Cheng Wei.
He figured Cheng Wei must have told Cheng Qin Nian everything.
No wonder he flew to Modu so eagerly; he wanted to curry favor with Xia Feng.
You weren't this enthusiastic when I had my birthday. Now that you know your cousin has hitched a ride on a powerful figure, you want to tag along for some prestige.
Cheng Wei's personality seems to be innate, not acquired.
"No," Qin Kai Hu refused directly.
He didn't even want to say a few polite words. You want to meet Young Master Xia?
"Cousin, we're family. There's no need to refuse so bluntly. It's just a word from you." Cheng Qin Nian was a bit displeased upon hearing this.
"Isn't introducing someone just a matter of saying a word?"
"Besides, you're friends with Xia Feng, and I'm your cousin. Introducing each other is not out of line at all."
"If you're here to discuss this matter, I can only say I can't help. Don't harbor any intentions towards Young Master Xia, lest you can't afford the consequences," Qin Kai Hu warned, seeing that Cheng Qin Nian was still not giving up.
"Qin Kai Hu, you're not even giving me this much face?" Cheng Qin Nian was slightly angry.
No wonder Cheng Wei couldn't handle it; it turned out the Qin family never intended to help.
Is this what you call family?
"You consider me your cousin, then don't set your sights on Young Master Xia. If you insist on doing so, then please leave the Qin family now. I, Qin Kai Hu, am not qualified to introduce Young Master Xia to you."
Qin Kai Hu didn't want to say more. At worst, they would never associate again.
"Hmph, if the Qin family treats guests like this, then I won't bother coming." Cheng Qin Nian snorted coldly and got up to leave.
He had thought this matter was settled when he came today, but he didn't expect Qin Kai Hu to be so ungracious.
"Dad," Cheng Wei hurriedly stood up and called out when he saw his father getting up to leave.
"Why are you still here, making a fool of yourself? You consider this place home, but they don't even want to bother with you." Cheng Qin Nian left without looking back after saying this.
Cheng Wei was helpless and quickly chased after him.
Qin Kai Hu watched the father and son leave and snorted, "People from small places just lack vision. Do you think you can get acquainted with Young Master Xia?"
Cheng Wei and his father stayed at the Holiday Dynasty Hotel for several days, hoping to settle for second best and contact Orville first. However, they didn't even see a shadow of Orville. Cheng Qin Nian eventually returned to Hong Kong with regret.
During these few days, Old Wang, Jiang Quanshui, and Lei Ming had tidied up the villa Xia Feng had just bought, and they were waiting to move.
The moving day was set for August 8th. Old Wang said it was a good day.
On the night before August 7th, everyone had packed all the necessary items.
Xia Lin also started broadcasting today.
The popular streamer Xia Lin, who had been away for a long time, was back.
"Hello everyone, it's been a while," Xia Lin greeted her viewers as soon as she started her stream.
dddddoggy: Lin'er, we thought you weren't streaming anymore. How long have you been gone? Even the donkeys from the production team are more diligent than you.
Zha Tian Bang & Tian Yu: Indeed, you're a mature streamer now, you should interact with your fans every day.
Zha Tian Bang · Jiange · Gezhu: Lin'er has revealed her true colors. She's not pretending anymore; she's a rich woman and doesn't need to rely on streaming to maintain her instant noodle lifestyle.
Xia Lin: I... I don't eat instant noodles...
