Shen Huai'an looked up at Fang Shiming's back and said casually, "The people who came to talk to me about cooperation are from the Fang family."
Lin Wanxing blinked and nodded blankly, clearly not understanding.
Shen Huai'an patiently explained to him, "I have a project in the new urban area. The Fang family wants to build a commercial center in the new urban area, so they came to me."
“They are neutral. They want to cooperate with me, but they don’t want to offend my older brother. I just rejected their offer to cooperate. I’m not afraid of anything now that I’ve made it this far. I don’t care about cooperation, and I’m not afraid of offending my older brother.”
Lin Wanxing looked down and rummaged through his small handbag until he finally found White Rabbit milk candy. He gave the candy to Shen Huai'an and said, "Second brother, don't be sad."
He carried a cute little crossbody bag with an egg on his back. The bag wasn't big, but it was stuffed full of all kinds of candy, so he could eat candy anytime, anywhere.
Shen Huai'an took the candy and smiled helplessly: "Even after telling you so much, you might not understand."
Although Lin Wanxing was a bit slow-witted, he could understand what was being said. He retorted loudly, "How do you know I don't understand?"
Shen Huai'an looked at him with great interest and deliberately teased him, saying, "Xingxing, you say you know, then tell me."
Lin Wanxing said confidently, "Second brother wants to get along well with the Fang family and be friends with them, but the Fang family is afraid of offending your eldest brother, so they would rather give up being friends with second brother and maintain a neutral stance so that they don't offend either side."
"They don't want to be friends with Second Brother. Second Brother should learn how to make friends."
"Actually, making friends is very simple; it's just that you haven't used the right methods, Second Brother."
Lin Wanxing looked at Allen running around in the distance and said, "The key to making friends is to have similar interests and be able to play together. You should also know how to share your favorite toys and cakes with your friends."
Lin Wanxing spoke eloquently, knowing that the Fang family wanted to avoid getting involved in the complex internal power struggles within the Shen family, which was why they acted this way.
Moreover, the Fang family is about to form a marriage alliance with the Chen family, and offending Shen Taimin would put both families in turmoil.
Shen Huai'an listened attentively to the little fool's lesson, and he actually felt that what Xingxing said made no problem at all.
Thinking about Fang Shiming's attitude just now, he casually asked Lin Wanxing, "What if he doesn't like my toys and cakes?"
"Second brother, is it because your cake isn't big enough or attractive enough? Another possibility is that they already have a friend before becoming your friend, so they don't need you."
In the innocent world of children, making friends is so simple: they can play together and share good things.
But in the adult world, making friends isn't always so pure.
We're business people now, not children.
Xingxing's simple words gave him a clue. The reason why the Fang family was unwilling to stand on his side must be because his share of the pie was not big enough. They were unwilling to risk offending Shen Taimin for such a small piece of the pie.
Just like the stars said, perhaps they already have other partners, so they are not their only choice.
Lin Wanxing glanced at Shen Huai'an and suddenly interrupted Shen Huai'an's thoughts: "Second brother, I want to go home."
Shen Huai'an snapped out of his reverie and said with a smile, "Are you tired of playing? Then go back and rest for a bit."
Lin Wanxing shook her head. "I want to go back to the Chen family. I saw the news online that my sister is getting engaged to Fang Ze next month. My aunt promised me that as long as my sister gets married, she will return my mother's belongings to me."
Shen Huai'an didn't understand what this meant. He asked, "Why did you wait until your sister got married to return her belongings to you?"
This question really resonated with Lin Wanxing. He thought about it seriously and said, "My aunt said that my mother's belongings would affect my sister, so they can only be returned to me after my sister gets married. As for why, I don't understand."
Xingxing is a little fool, but Shen Huai'an is an old fox. He doesn't need Lin Wanxing to say anything; he can understand the meaning instantly.
There must be something important among the belongings that could affect the mother and daughter, or even Chen Xueping's future, which is why Xu Feng hid the belongings.
After Xingxing said that, Shen Huai'an suddenly realized an important piece of information: if the Fang family wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Chen family, then Chen Shuhua would inevitably have to get closer to the Fang family.
He must have made a promise to the Fang family, meaning that the two families have reached an agreement to become partners. Although the Chen Group's foundation is not as strong as that of the prestigious Fang family, after more than ten years of hard work by Chen Shuhua and the support of its predecessor, the Lin family, Chen Shuhua's Chen Group is not to be underestimated.
No wonder the Fang family is unwilling to align themselves with him; Chen Shuhua is trying to get close to the Fang family and join his elder brother's side.
Joining Shen Taimin's side would be a big problem for him. The Fang family originally maintained a neutral stance, but they couldn't resist the fact that Chen Shuhua and Shen Taimin were getting close, and over time, their neutrality would also be biased.
The marriage alliance is a contract that establishes a relationship between the two families.
Thanks to Xingxing's reminder, Shen Huai'an would never have remembered these things.
Chen Shuhua is a typical opportunist, always changing his mind depending on the wind.
Before things went wrong, they would rush to my side to show their loyalty and even forcibly change the engagement.
As Shen Huai'an thought about their change of engagement, another idea suddenly popped into his head.
Chen Xueping is a few years older than Lin Wanxing. At first, Chen Shuhua claimed that Chen Xueping was born to Xu Fenghe's previous husband. Chen Xueping originally took her mother's surname, but changed her surname after coming to the Chen family.
