It wasn't said that they favored sons over daughters and disregarded Yu Li's feelings for the sake of their eldest grandson, as if they wanted to announce to the world with fanfare that their Chen family had a son.
It was this phrase, "both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh," that made Lou Xiao'e understand why Fatty had such a good relationship with her three older sisters.
Parents like these have children like these.
"..."
Lou Xiao'e was lost in thought when she actually drifted off into a daze.
Zhou Haiqin kept giving Chen Yan meaningful glances. Was there something wrong with the mother and daughter? Why were they so easily distracted?
Chen Yan coughed softly, waking Lou Xiao'e, who seemed to be lost in thought.
Seeing the redness quickly spread across her fair face, Chen Yan secretly worried for Yu Li.
In terms of appearance, the two are about the same.
Lou Xiao'e has a certain quality that Yu Li doesn't have.
However, Yu Li is no less impressive now. After so many years of living a life of luxury, she is also surrounded by an invisible aura.
If she had to describe her, Lou Xiao'e was like the wife of an important official, elegant and dignified; Yu Li was like the wife of a warlord, a respected and respected elder sister-in-law!
Chen Yan couldn't believe what it would be like when the two of them met...
Lou Xiao'e came to her senses and said to Zhou Haiqin, "Auntie, you have thought this through very well. I would also like to make a statement here. I will not compete with Yu Li for anything. She was kind to me back then. She, Chen Yan, Chen Kang, and I even lived under the same roof for a short period of time."
Zhou Haiqin looked at Chen Yan with the same eyes that she had her eyes on a goose's milk bean!
Hey second brother, why didn't you tell me about something so important?
Chen Yan quickly explained, "Xu Xiyue's father was busy cutting ties with Xiao'e in order to climb the social ladder, so he kicked her out. At that time, Xiao'e and Xiao's younger brother were both teachers and friends, so they let her live with us for a while."
Zhou Haiqin thought to herself, "So that's why she and Fatty had this kind of relationship."
The two of them already admired each other, and after that incident, the fat man saved her whole family. Their admiration and gratitude naturally turned into love.
Upon hearing the name "Xu Xiyue," Lou Xiao'e felt a turmoil in her heart, and her face changed color.
Chen Yan, observing the situation, quickly said, "Xu Xiyue's name was given by my younger brother. She's a child that someone brought back from the countryside. As for Xiao'e, it's not that I intentionally hid it from you, but you know, their relationship has always been quite good..."
Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her emotions, saying, "I understand. It's all in the past, and I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!"
Old Chen's family members were exchanging glances with each other; to the uninitiated, it would look like they had formed a "glance communication group."
Cao Zhengyang, in particular, dared not utter a sound. He had invested his entire fortune and life savings, just waiting to invest in and set up a factory with Xu Damao.
Moreover, the two got along quite well. Xu Damao was impressed by his skills; he, in turn, was impressed by Xu Damao's social skills. The two hit it off immediately and almost went so far as to chop off a chicken's head, burn yellow paper, and become sworn brothers...
Just then, Xu Damao's ex-wife returned, bringing with her and Fatty's son; ugh, if Xu Damao finds out about this, I wonder if the factory can still operate, sigh!
Lou Xiao'e realized that her question had put everyone in a difficult position, so she quickly said, "Uncle, Aunt, and all my family members, please don't take it to heart. Xu Damao and I have long since severed all ties, and it won't affect me in any way."
Seeing that she could say Xu Damao's name so readily, Chen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly urged everyone, "Eat, eat..."
That evening, Cao Zhengyang nervously discussed with Chen Rong, "Wife, do you think Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's relationship will affect my factory?"
Chen Rong wasn't sure either: "It shouldn't be that bad, right? Her family is so big and powerful, would she really be interested in our parts factory with a total investment of only 150,000?"
Cao Zhengyang sat up irritably: "I'm afraid she'll use her power to hurt us. With her abilities, she could bankrupt us in no time!"
Chen Rong was at a loss and could only place her hopes on the fat man: "I'll go see Xiao Kang tomorrow and talk to him in person."
Cao Zhengyang felt the same way and couldn't help but hug Chen Rong: "Wife, I'm counting on you. Otherwise, my dad would definitely come all the way from Foshan to kill me."
Chen Rong chuckled: "Look at you, as if our dad is a tiger."
Cao Zhengyang was tempted: "Speaking of which, they haven't even met you since we got married. We were poor before, and it was too far away; we couldn't even afford train tickets to and from there. Now that we have money, how about I take you and the kids back to our hometown in Foshan?"
Chen Rong hugged him back: "It's only right. Over the years you've only sent a few photos of Cao Hao home. It's time to pay a visit. It'll also be a good way to get away from this storm. You've really got a good plan, humph."
Cao Zhengyang excitedly rubbed his hands together, saying, "Wife, you're so clever! How could I possibly hide anything from you? It's a deal! I'll go buy the train tickets tomorrow!"
"..."
Just as Cao Zhengyang and Chen Rong were discussing fleeing to Foshan and returning after the storm had passed,
Chen Fang also discussed the matter with Chen Yan at her home: "Sister, do you think Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e can get along peacefully?"
Chen Yan shook her head: "Difficult. Neither of them are easy to deal with."
Chen Fang paced anxiously, "What should we do?"
Chen Yan felt dizzy from being swayed: "Stop it for a minute, I've already thought of a solution!"
Chen Fang scoffed, "What kind of method is that? How could you even come up with that?"
Chen Yan retorted angrily, "How is it not a solution?"
Chen Fang scolded her with exasperation: "Second Miss, be more careful! That's Yu Li's own aunt, even closer than her own mother. What if she sides with Yu Li and causes a huge uproar?"
Chen Yan was confident about this: "Oh, just trust me. Her aunt is very sensible and understands the pros and cons. I'm sure I can persuade her!"
Seeing Chen Yan's confident demeanor, Chen Fang couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
When Chen Yan turned around, she found that she had also lost her mind, just like Lou Xiao'e, and couldn't help but wave her hand in front of her eyes;
As a result, Chen Fang slapped the back of her hand: "Chen Yan, you're not like yourself at all now."
"What kind of repetitive talk is this? If I'm not like myself, who else could I be like? You?"
Chen Fang, furious, leaned over and grabbed her cheek: "Don't play dumb with me! Everyone thinks I'm the best off in our family, and they're always pointing fingers at me; why don't they talk about you? You're the one who's quietly making a fortune, Chen Kang is just biased!"
