Jing Li could no longer hear how chaotic things must have been for the Cui family once they learned the truth.

After leaving the Jing family's house, she was about to hail a Didi (ride-hailing service) to go back to the hospital when a car horn sounded behind her.

Turning around, the back window of the car rolled down, and Shen Yuanfan's head popped out. He first looked at the Cui family, then looked at her with surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Damn it, will the Cui family make things difficult for her?

Before his assistant could even open the car door, he quickly got out, grabbed Jing Li's hand, and looked her up and down. "The Cui family didn't do anything to you, did they? Are you a pig-headed idiot? You just went and ventured into a den of wolves all by yourself. Aren't you afraid of being eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind?!"

"They wouldn't dare, brother, what are you doing here?"

Knowing his stubborn yet soft-hearted nature, Jing Li felt a warmth in her heart, and shook her head with a light laugh to indicate that she was fine.

"We live here, we just came back to get some documents, is that really okay?"

Shen Yuanfan coughed, looking somewhat uncomfortable, and asked again.

He was afraid that Jing Li was foolish and wouldn't dare to speak up if she was wronged. He really wanted to tell her that even though the Shen family was not as powerful as the Cui family, if the Cui family really bullied her, he would do everything in his power to get justice for her.

"It's really nothing. Did you hear the crying coming from inside? Don't worry, it's only your sister who bullies others. No one else has the ability to bully me."

With a bright smile, Jing Li glanced at the chaotic Cui family and winked playfully.

Shen Yuanfan, "..."

I almost forgot about her antisocial personality disorder.

Once he was sure she was alright, his tense expression eased considerably. "Where are you going? I'll take you."

"Let's go to the hospital, before the new single is released, and while we still have time, let's spend some time with Mom."

Jing Li didn't stand on ceremony with him and got into the car.

Just as Shen Yuanfan was about to follow, the phone rang. Afraid of disturbing her, he simply stood outside to answer it.

Jing Li faintly heard him talking about the project bidding.

Just then, the document Shen Yuanfan needed was placed on her seat. She picked it up and flipped through it, her brows gradually furrowing.

That was a land bidding budget.

In the novel, the first failed investment the Shen family encountered was this piece of land. It was this project that caused the Shen family to lose nearly 10 billion yuan, severely damaging their vitality.

Land resources are becoming increasingly scarce, land prices are rising, and the resources available to developers are becoming increasingly limited.

The resource being tendered this time is a highly coveted commodity for many developers.

Back when Shen Yuanfan earned his first pot of gold, he bought a piece of land nearby at a low price, but never started construction because he thought the area was too small and unsuitable for anything.

He was very interested when he heard about the tender and planned to win it as well.

The most formidable competitor among them was the Choi family.

Shen Yuanfan had heard that the Cui family's budget for the land was 700 million yuan. Determined to acquire the land, he carefully considered the matter and then boldly raised the bidding price to 1.5 billion yuan.

He eventually acquired the land and immediately invested funds to begin construction.
