During the Spring Festival, Wang Xiaoling would always bring her son to visit Chen Xihua's home and chat with Li Yumei.
On the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Jianhua returned to Guangdong Province, leaving Wang Xiaoling and their son in his hometown.
Wang Xiaoling wasn't unhappy at all.
At first, Li Yumei didn't want to talk to her, but gradually, as Wang Xiaoling flattered her more and more, Li Yumei was genuinely flattered and started to get used to it.
Thinking that it didn't cost any money, I figured I might as well listen and enjoy it.
Wang Xiaoling said that raising six children was not easy, and she also supported their university education. She is also good at running a business, and her pastries are unique and delicious, etc.
After that, no matter what attitude Chen Lao Er and Li Yu Mei had, Wang Xiao Ling would come over, say a few words, sit for a while, and then leave.
Sometimes he says he's taking his son Chen Junxin out for a walk because he's afraid he'll get bored!
In short, Wang Xiaoling would appear at Chen Xihua's house almost every day.
Meanwhile, Chen Xihua and Chen Jinhua were secretly analyzing her behavior.
During this time, Chen Xihua also discussed company matters with her elder sister.
I also asked Sister Xiaolan to arrange for someone to go to Beijing after the Spring Festival to prepare for opening a branch of the Lihua brand.
Fanghua Clothing will not expand for the time being.
However, for the mid-to-high-end brand Lihua, it would need to open another garment factory, as well as Lihua's private customization services.
The factory that Huo Shao had previously found was only missing equipment, employees, and a factory manager.
After observing for a few more days, Chen Xihua discovered that Wang Xiaoling wanted to learn how to make pastries by starting with Li Yumei.
No, even if it were true, Li Yumei wouldn't say it.
When it comes to her craft, Li Yumei is very tight-lipped, as if her lips were sewn shut.
It's certain that Wang Xiaoling is planning to do something bad, but what exactly is it?
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, seeing that Wang Xiaoling had not been sitting for long before getting up and leaving, he realized that Wang Xiaoling was not sitting for long either.
Before leaving, she smiled and asked Li Yumei, "Second Aunt, your pastry shop opens tomorrow, can I go and take a look?"
Is it related to food?
Suddenly, Chen Xihua's heart pounded wildly. Could it be that?! This is too crazy, too inhumane!
That's not just taking revenge on the Chen family, it's taking revenge on society!
That evening, Chen Xihua was about to tell her second sister her thoughts.
"Yes, Xiao Wu, I guessed it too!" Chen Jinhua's 'danger detector' was no joke; she was increasingly feeling extremely uneasy.
This insane plan must have been orchestrated by the person behind it all.
Chen Jinhua thought to herself, she didn't know whether to feel fortunate or unfortunate: that person's plan was actually set up in her house.
That evening, Chen Jinhua immediately contacted the lieutenant general, reminding him to prepare various contingency plans.
Keep a close eye on them!
——
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the movie "That Girl" was released. It was An Chuyuan's first work after several years of reflection, and it also involved the incident with his third sister.
Surprisingly, it's quite popular.
The film received a positive response for several days after its release.
In less than ten days, the box office soared to third place in the domestic Spring Festival film season, with more than 30 million yuan.
In Hong Kong, the number one film only grossed a little over 100 million.
Very good. Both An Chuyuan's return and Feng Hua Entertainment Company have made good progress.
She has finally begun to emerge and is now considered a prominent figure in the entertainment industry across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Before they knew it, it was the Lantern Festival. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the eldest sister, Chen Chunhua, had already returned to work in the provincial capital.
Originally, Chen Meihua planned to stay at home to rest during her pregnancy, but Chen Xihua wouldn't allow it.
"Third sister, you should also go to Yun City, the provincial capital, and live in the house you bought. Ask Sister Niu to come back and take care of you. Besides, the medical conditions in the provincial capital are better."
"Sixth grader, this semester, don't go home on weekends. Focus on studying at school. You'll be a junior in September. Didn't you say you wanted to take the college entrance exam early and give it a try? Then don't get distracted."
“Okay!” Although Chen Meihua and Chen Baohua didn’t understand why, the siblings had both vaguely sensed something was wrong during this time.
They knew there was a secret between Chen Xihua and Chen Jinhua, but they didn't pry or cause trouble.
"What about my parents..." Chen Xiaoliu asked anxiously, worried that something might have happened at home.
"They're alright!" Chen Xihua comforted Chen Xiaoliu.
If Chen Lao Er and Li Yu Mei also change their ways, it will definitely alert the enemy.
If the person behind the scenes changes, or the location changes, then things become even more complicated.
——
Soon, Chen Xihua and her fourth sister Chen Xiuhua also prepared to return to school, while her second sister went out to work.
On the day she returned to Beijing, Chen Xihua brought Old Man Qin with her. She always felt that it wasn't right to leave Old Man Qin in Gaoyang County.
"Teacher, let's go! I have everything in my courtyard house in Beijing, so you don't need to bring any luggage. You can bring other things later."
"No, Chen Xiaowu, what are you doing? Didn't we agree that I would go back in June or July, during summer vacation?" Old Qin muttered, clearly dissatisfied.
That little rascal Chen Xiaowu, he only mentioned it yesterday, and today he's here, insisting on dragging me back to Beijing. I wasn't even ready.
In recent years, Old Man Qin doesn't seem to have aged much. His hair hasn't changed much either. He's in his sixties and in good health and spirits.
Taking the train, in a sleeper berth, shouldn't be too tiring.
"Anyway, there's something going on. Teacher, do you think I'm such an unreliable person? There must be a reason why you're asking me to return to Beijing ahead of schedule."
If you don't listen to me, come back to Beijing with me now. Then I'll go and become Master Chang's disciple!
He was very pleased with me, and asked me about it several times in the past two years! Chen Xihua wasn't making it up; Master Beichang had indeed asked her, but he was just teasing her and wanted to give her some pointers.
Seeing Qin Laotou's reluctant yet subtly expectant expression, Chen Xihua found it amusing!
"Teacher, are you afraid of being scolded by parents and dare not go back? How old are you?"
"You...you're betraying your sect! Humph, you're infuriating! Fine, I'll leave. It's not like it's a den of dragons or tigers. It's settled then, when I go back, I won't take anything with me. I'll eat your food and stay at your place!" Old Man Qin was at his wits' end with Chen Xihua.
But he can hide in Chen Xiaowu's courtyard house for a while; he shouldn't be discovered.
——
After they went their separate ways, only Chen Lao Er and his wife remained at home.
Wang Xiaoling and Li Yumei have gotten along very well.
It wasn't that Li Yumei really wanted to hear Wang Xiaoling talk, but rather that Li Yumei's vanity was being satisfied.
Just think about it, Wang Xiaoling is a rich young lady, and people are trying to curry favor with her and get close to her!
Moreover, Wang Xiaoling's life isn't any better than hers now.
At Uncle Chen's house, Wang Xiaoling helps with cooking and housework every day, which makes Grandma Chen happy.
On March 10, 2002, Chen Xihua returned to school and had been attending classes for some time. There were still quite a lot of courses in her third year.
We had previously agreed that after returning from the Spring Festival, we would invite everyone from our dorm to a get-together at the Fengting Clubhouse.
That weekend, a time was finally coordinated, and none of the six people had any other activities or experiments to do.
"Sisters, let's go! I'll take you guys out to have some fun today!" Chen Xihua said to the other five girls in the dormitory with a sly smile, looking like a little rascal.
"Oh my, they really are rich and powerful, able to book a private room!" Deng Xinyin pouted, while the other four followed with smiles.
"That's right!" Actually, Chen Xihua herself was a little suppressed, having used Huo Shao's connections to reserve a table.
During this time, although she was not at home, she kept a close eye on what was happening in Gaoyang County.
She was waiting to see when Wang Xiaoling would make her move.
Chen Lao Er also briefly told Wang Xiaoling about her every move.
Although Chen Lao Er didn't know exactly what was going on, he also sensed that something was wrong.
However, his idea was that Chen Jianhua was deliberately keeping Wang Xiaoling in Gaoyang County so she could come to his house every day to show off.
What a joke! Taking care of the elderly, spending time with them, fulfilling filial piety!
Only his own wife, unable to see the situation clearly, would hear Wang Xiaoling come over every now and then, say a few flattering words, and feel quite pleased with herself.
