"Hey, where did you meet Yingying?" Liu Ping asked quietly.
“It’s a mining site, and she’s the owner there,” Chen Feng answered truthfully.
"She's still the boss, so did her family agree to her coming back with you?" Liu Ping asked curiously.
"Her situation is a bit complicated." Chen Feng explained the whole story to Liu Ping, and Liu Ping finally understood.
"My God, this child has had a tough life. Since you've chosen to be with her, then treat her well and don't let her down, do you hear me?" Liu Ping said earnestly.
"I know, how could I not know that?" Chen Feng nodded.
“She has no family left. If you let her down again, how heartbroken she will be. Even if you two have a fight one day, I will have to side with her and not with you. Do you understand what I mean?”
“She has no relatives or friends here. If I don’t help her, she will be so pitiful. You need to be more careful. I’m afraid you’ll just laugh it off and not take her seriously,” Liu Ping said worriedly.
"No, am I that kind of person?" Chen Feng shook his head and chuckled, wondering what kind of image he had in his mother's heart.
"Okay, you two should get along well. When it's time to get married, then you can get married. Once you're married, I'll be able to settle down," Liu Ping said, as if a major event had finally been resolved.
"No rush, there's still plenty of time," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"What do you mean 'early'? It's already late. Alright, go out and keep her company. Don't leave her outside alone and make her wonder what's going on." Liu Ping chased him out.
"Okay, I'll go out then."
"Hey, what did I come in here for?" Chen Feng stood up and asked, suddenly puzzled.
I didn't get anything done, and instead got scolded by my mother.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Xia Yingying asked, somewhat gossipy.
"It's nothing. We've been chatting for a while. My mom told me to treat you well and not let you down," Chen Feng said with a smile, his arm around her waist.
"Will you listen to your mother?" Xia Yingying turned her head and asked, tilting her little face up.
“I can do it without her saying so.” Chen Feng gently kissed her lips, his voice soft but his tone very serious.
Hearing this answer, Xia Yingying leaned on his shoulder, feeling incredibly content.
Liu Ping took out her phone and quietly sent a voice message to the person from earlier.
“Your son just came in, and that’s when I hung up the phone. Your daughter-in-law is really pretty. I’ll send you a picture when I have the chance.”
"Let's keep it from him for now and tell him when you come back. I'm afraid he'll act impulsively if I tell him now. Anyway, it's been so many years, a few more days won't make a difference."
A few days passed in this harmonious atmosphere when people from the land bureau came to survey and measure the gold mine area. They called Chen Feng and asked him to come over.
"Xiao Yingying, let's go." Chen Feng hung up the phone and waved to Xia Yingying.
"Where are you two going?" Liu Ping asked, looking up.
"You'll find out when I get back." Chen Feng smiled mysteriously and left home with Xia Yingying.
"You brat, you even kept it from me. Why can't you be as honest as me?" Liu Ping rolled her eyes as she watched the car drive away.
Chen Feng soon arrived at the location of the gold mine. There were about twenty or thirty people in front of him, including the leaders from the Land Bureau.
After all, discovering a gold mine is a major event, so how could the city not take it seriously?
"Chen Feng, is this the location you found?" the land bureau leader asked, looking around.
There are still corn plants growing on this ground; they're almost ripe.
“Yes, that’s it. You two can talk. I scouted over a thousand acres myself, so my estimate might be inaccurate. You can check it out yourselves,” Chen Feng nodded and said.
"Alright, get to work," the land bureau leader instructed his subordinates.
Following his command, a group of people began to explore with instruments, and the exploration lasted for almost a day.
Such a large-scale operation naturally couldn't be kept secret from the villagers. A group of uniformed people were inserting and inserting machines, and Chen Feng was especially among them, which inevitably made them speculate.
Many villagers also came to watch the spectacle, and some even went up to talk to them, asking what they were doing.
The staff declined to comment, saying it would be kept confidential for the time being.
It wasn't until almost dark that the specific data was reported to the leadership.
"Sir, it's similar to what Chen Feng reported. The area is about 1,020 acres. The depth still needs further exploration, but it is estimated to be eight to twelve meters. It is saucer-shaped, thin at the edges and thick in the middle."
The staff member wearing glasses spoke up.
"My goodness, it really is a thousand acres! Chen Feng, how could you have predicted it so accurately?" the land bureau leader exclaimed in amazement as he looked at Chen Feng.
"It was just a coincidence, I guess. I didn't expect to be right." Chen Feng scratched his head, pretending not to know.
"Holy crap, a thousand acres of gold mine! If this is reported, those guys will probably be shocked."
"That's all for now. I'll give you more details tomorrow and then let you know," the leader instructed Chen Feng.
"Alright, alright, take care, leaders." Chen Feng waved goodbye, and the cars gradually drove into the city.
After the uniformed people left, a large crowd immediately gathered around.
One of them was Lu Dahai.
These guys have been guessing for ages, but unfortunately, ordinary people have a natural aversion to uniforms, and no one dared to come up and ask the leader directly.
"Fengzi, what's wrong? What are they doing here? Has something serious happened?" Lu Dahai hurriedly came over and asked.
In just a few hours, these people spread several rumors.
Some say an ancient tomb has been unearthed here, while others say it's a murder case where evidence is being gathered, and that it's related to Chen Feng.
Of course, this rumor was quickly debunked. If it were a murder case, how could it be the land bureau officials who came? Shouldn't it be Uncle Hat?
Some people say that Chen Feng wanted to lease the land and had already made arrangements with the leaders; he was paying someone to pull strings.
There were all sorts of rumors, but Lu Dahai, relying on his close relationship with Chen Feng, was the first to rush over and ask.
The main reason was that the scale of this operation was so large, and he was incredibly curious about it.
"You guys are quite trusting. Just wait and see, you'll find out in a few days," Chen Feng said, keeping everyone in suspense.
Of course, it's fine to tell them now anyway, since Chen Feng will probably be talking to the landowners about compensation in a few days, and then it will be impossible to keep it a secret forever.
Moreover, it doesn't matter whether it's kept secret or not. Chen Feng is already registered, and this gold mine can only be his. No one can take it away from him, so it doesn't matter at all.
However, Chen Feng decided to tease them for a few days and let them guess for now.
He drove Xia Yingying home, leaving the villagers looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Holy crap!" Lu Dahai suddenly slapped his thigh.
"What's wrong? Did you guess something?" someone asked quickly upon seeing this.
"Damn it, I forgot! I should have asked Chen Feng to give me a ride. It's such a long way back, it's so tiring!" Lu Dahai said, slapping his forehead in frustration.
Given their relationship, Chen Feng would definitely not refuse if he asked for a ride, especially since he had never ridden in a Porsche before!
