Private dining room on the fourth floor of Xiangjiang International Hotel

Chen Dong, Zhang Yi, and others gathered at a table, where waiters were constantly bringing various dishes to the table. Chen Zaisheng, due to tuberculosis, was sitting alone on the side, having a private meal.

Because of Chen Zaixing and Chen Lianxiang, Chen Dong did not choose to eat Western food, but instead chose Chinese food. Steamed grouper, roast suckling pig slices arranged on a plate, braised goose and other dishes that Chen Zaixing had never seen before were placed on a rotating plate.

Chen Zaixing was initially curious about why there was a glass plate in the center of the table. But when the dishes were served and the waiter gently turned it, he realized that it could be done this way.

Because they were going out shopping later, Chen Dong didn't ask the waiter to open the bottles. Instead, Xiao Chenhui called out to the waiter in English, "Two Cokes, on the rocks!"

"Okay, it'll be right over to you," the waiter replied in English, smiling and bowing slightly before leaving the private room.

"Little brother, you'll get an iced cola soon," Xiao Chenhui said with a smile as he sat in his high chair, wiggling his bottom as he spoke to Xiao Rongguo, who was also sitting in a high chair.

Xiao Rongguo asked curiously, "Brother, is it that kind of sweet water that makes your teeth feel sour after drinking it?"

"Yeah, that kind!"

"Yay! I love drinking it!"

Zhang Yi smiled and patted Xiao Rongguo's head, then said to Xiao Chenhui, "If you two drink tonight, you can't drink anymore for the next three days. Do you know that children shouldn't drink too many carbonated drinks?"

"Auntie, why?"

Little Rongguo tilted his head innocently, looking at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Because if you drink too much, it will ruin your teeth, and you won't grow tall, so people will laugh at you for being a shorty!"

"Ah! Then I won't drink it!"

Upon hearing that he would be laughed at for not growing tall, Xiao Rongguo immediately said to Xiao Chenhui, "Brother, drinking this will stunt your growth! Don't drink it!"

"Oh, don't be afraid. Jenny said it's okay to drink one cup a week," Little Chen Hui wasn't afraid of his mother's scaremongering words.

He's five years old now, not a four-year-old who's so easily fooled!

After the waiter brought out all the dishes Chen Dong had ordered, he left the private room. Chen Zaixing looked at the table full of dishes and didn't know which one to pick first. Chen Lianxiang said to Chen Dong with concern, "Dongzi, you ordered too much. We can't finish it all!"

"It's okay, sis. If you can't finish, just have someone pack it up and send it to your room. When you get hungry while you're shopping tonight, just call the waiter and have them bring the food up to the kitchen to warm it up a bit," Chen Dong said, picking up his chopsticks and addressing everyone. "Eat it while it's hot. Don't just look at the food; you can't get full just by looking at it."

Chen Dong first picked up a piece of grouper and gave it to Chen Lianxiang, "Sister, eat some fish. You're still a bit weak, you need to nourish yourself."

Then Chen Dongcai served his wife Zhang Yi, followed by Chen Zaixing, who was still debating which one to serve, and finally the two little kids who were sipping their iced cola. "Eat your food, don't just drink cola."

"Oh, oh, oh!" Little Chen Hui waved his hand, and when he saw his dad pick up the vegetables he hated, he cried out, "I hate green vegetables! I want to eat roast suckling pig slices! I don't want to eat green vegetables!"

"Eat your food, and Daddy will put more food in your bowl," Chen Dong said, putting the food into Xiao Chenhui's bowl.

Little Rongguo, holding his small chopsticks, ate the bok choy that Uncle Dong had put on his plate. His mouth was full of oil as he ate, and he mumbled to Little Chenhui, "Brother, this dish is so delicious, sweet and fragrant!"

Zhang Yi smiled at Xiao Chenhui and said, "Look, your little brother is eating vegetables. You're the older brother, how can you not eat? After you finish, Mommy will give you slices of roast suckling pig."

"Mmm-hmm!"

"Then I'll just have one bite," Xiao Chenhui bargained. After taking a bite of the bok choy, he chewed it and found it was actually quite delicious, so he started eating it all.

The two little kids looked like two hamsters, nibbling on the big bok choy bit by bit, looking incredibly cute. Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile.

After everyone finished eating, there wasn't much food left on the table. Despite the large plates, there wasn't much food inside. Chen Lianxiang had originally thought there would be a lot left, but by the end, she found that it was almost empty.

Xiao Chenhui and Xiao Rongguo had already eaten their fill. Now, the two of them were running around the private room, laughing heartily. Children don't eat much to begin with, and after drinking a glass of cola and eating a few stalks of cabbage and a few slices of meat, they said they were full.

Little Rongguo was always surrounded by snacks with his older brother Chen Hui, so he didn't lack for food like the other older brothers. His little face was rosy and he looked very cute. He also fit into Chen Hui's clothes. When the two stood together, people who didn't know them would think they were brothers.

After having a cup of tea in the private room, everyone got up and went outside. At the dining table outside the private room, a dozen bodyguards had already devoured the food. Seeing Chen Dong and the others come out, they immediately put on their suits and escorted Chen Dong and the others to the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor.

Bill and his group, who had arrived earlier, had already parked several Mercedes-Benz cars at the hotel entrance. Chen Dong and his companions crouched down and got into the cars, which then started and headed towards the shopping malls in Central, Hong Kong.

Central is the heart of Hong Kong and its commercial center, home to numerous skyscrapers and luxury brand shops. The Mercedes-Benz convoy drove through the traffic, and the neon signs hanging along the streets captivated Chen Zaixing and Chen Lianxiang, who were seeing such a scene for the first time.

The convoy stopped in front of a luxury store. As soon as it came to a halt, several blond-haired men approached and asked Bill, who had just gotten out of the car, in Hong Kong dialect, "Sir, stop the car!"

"Okay, open the door," Bill said coldly, looking at the group of blond-haired men in front of him. He turned around and opened the car door for Chen Dong.

They were parking in a public parking space. These guys with blond hair came over to "park" for them, but actually they were there to collect "parking fees." They would take the money to ensure that their car wouldn't be "accidentally" scratched.

Seeing Bill's unfriendly tone, one of the blond-haired men arrogantly asked him, "Who are you? You're so cocky!"

After hearing what the blond-haired man said, Bill turned around, looked at him, and asked in return, "And who are you?"

"I'm from Xin Yi An, everyone calls me Big Brother. This is a place we Xin Yi An manages. You have to pay for parking, otherwise if your car gets damaged, don't come crying to me," the blond-haired man said arrogantly, looking at Bill, who was half a head taller than him.

"I thought you were some big shot in Hong Kong's underworld, turns out you're just a nobody," Bill said, slapping the arrogant blond guy's face. "If the car gets scratched, I'll break all your legs!"

In front of his henchmen, being slapped in the face and spoken to like that, the blond guy was about to get angry. Bill pulled his suit jacket back, revealing an M1911 pistol in its holster, and smiled as he watched the blond guy about to make a move.

"Hey kid, I forgot to tell you who I am. I'm Liang Qihua from the Hongmen," Bill said as he walked forward with Chen Dong, then suddenly turned around and said to the blond-haired man again, "Remember, if my car gets scratched..."

"I...will...break...your...legs!"
