The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan smiled and asked in return, "Are you scared?"

Qiao Lingling pouted, "What am I afraid of?"

"In the end, it's just a small restaurant in town. At worst, it will close down and reopen somewhere else."

"I'm worried about you, after all, you have a family and a career here."

"That Ma Wanhao suffered a loss, and he will definitely go back to the investor, exaggerate the situation, and push the blame onto you."

"We absolutely have to be careful about this."

Chen Huan calmly replied, "I've already offended quite a few people, so one or two more won't make a difference."

"Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

Seeing that Chen Huan didn't seem to care, Qiao Lingling didn't want to spoil the mood and continued to persuade him.

The group returned to town, and as previously agreed, Qiao Lingling treated Chen Huan and Fatty to dinner.

They were all young people to begin with, and they had accomplished something important together today, so the atmosphere became more and more harmonious as they chatted, and they drank more and more alcohol.

They made noise until dark, and were still not quite done.

The fat man seemed to genuinely like Qiao Lingling, and after drinking some alcohol, his feelings became even more obvious.

As a good friend, Chen Huan also wanted to create some opportunities for Fatty to spend time alone with him.

So he excused himself by saying he couldn't hold his liquor and left the private room temporarily.

By this time, all the other diners had already left.

Only Xia Xiaozhu and a few kitchen staff members were there, chatting.

When Chen Huan came out, Xia Xiaozhu obediently made him some tea.

She asked considerately, "Brother-in-law, are you alright?"

Chen Huan waved his hand, "I'm fine."

"Is there anything you're missing lately, or anything you'd like to buy?"

Xia Xiaozhu shook her head repeatedly, "I have food and drink, and new clothes to wear. I'm already very satisfied."

"that is……"

"What is it?" Chen Huan noticed that something was wrong with the little girl and immediately frowned and asked.

Xia Xiaozhu hesitated and was unwilling to speak.

Finally, seeing that Chen Huan was getting a little angry, he revealed the truth: "My sister came to see me once."

"She still has the nerve to contact you? What does she want from you? To introduce you to a boyfriend so you can do 'that' kind of thing?" Chen Huan sobered up instantly from her drunkenness.

He wished he could find Xia Meili right now and teach her a good lesson.

"She didn't ask me to do anything."

"I just wanted to know about you, and also about your brother," Xia Xiaozhu replied timidly.

  

Chen Huan felt a sudden tightness in his heart, and it wasn't just because of some painful memories.

He frowned and asked, "Why is she asking about these things?"

"What exactly were they asked?"

Xia Xiaozhu thought about it carefully, "It's about your reaction and changes after your brother had the accident."

"And where you were and what you did the past few days."

Chen Huan increasingly felt that something was wrong.

Xia Meili must hate me now, and she won't care about these things no matter what, unless she has other motives.

Or perhaps someone else wanted him to inquire about these things.

"How did you answer?" Chen Huan tried to keep her expression and tone calm.

So as not to frighten the little girl.

Xia Xiaozhu blinked. "I didn't say anything."

"Although I don't know why my sister asked, I think I should be more careful so as not to cause trouble for my brother-in-law."

Seeing how sensible she was, Chen Huan smiled with relief and reached out to rub her head, saying, "It's no wonder your brother-in-law loves you so much."

"Brother-in-law, are you in some kind of trouble?" Xia Xiaozhu seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and her expression was very worried.

Chen Huan smiled nonchalantly, "It's no trouble at all."

"Even if there is real trouble, we can just deal with it head-on."

"You don't need to worry about these things. Just live your life in a down-to-earth manner."

Although he appeared calm on the surface, Chen Huan's heart was actually in turmoil.

"Xia Meili, what exactly do you want?" Chen Huan looked outside the hotel, his expression turning somewhat fierce.

There's an antique shop right across the street.

The lights were still on, and although there were no customers, Chen Huan knew that Jin Dacheng must be inside.

It had been a few days since they last met, and Chen Huan was starting to miss that eccentric guy.

Furthermore, Zhao Yaru is now living in his home and has given him a luxury car worth tens of millions. As the person who introduced the client, Jin Dacheng should have known this.

Both out of courtesy and reason, Chen Huan felt he should go over and say hello.

Just as he was about to walk across the road, a car suddenly sped up from one end of the road and headed straight for Chen Huan.

"What's going on? Are you trying to kill me?" Chen Huan quickly jumped back a big step.

A very stylish sedan was parked right next to Chen Huan on the side of the road, almost touching him.

Just as Chen Huan was about to start cursing, the car window slowly rolled down.

A very pleasant woman's voice came from inside, "Chen Huan, get in the car."

Chen Huan was taken aback for a moment, then bent down to look at the driver's seat, and became even more puzzled, "Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me? I've done nothing to you, have I?"

"Get in the car quickly, I have something important to tell you." The young woman in the driver's seat was very beautiful and had a very elegant demeanor.

She was dressed very fashionably, or rather, very sexily.

From Chen Huan's perspective, it was immediately a feeling of restlessness and agitation.

But Chen Huan knew this woman was very troublesome, and it was best to stay as far away from her as possible unless absolutely necessary.

So he had no intention of getting on the bus at all.

Because this woman's name is Li Meina.

I had just dealt with them not long ago; they were extremely difficult to deal with and exceptionally shrewd.

Just as Chen Huan was about to play dumb and leave the place, Li Meina in the car said quietly, "I came to find you because of Ma Yanping."

"You're in big trouble. Maybe I can help you."

"Ma Yanping?" Chen Huan's heart skipped a beat.

Today, after hearing Xia Xiaozhu say that Xia Meili was inquiring about her, Chen Huan inexplicably thought of Ma Yanping.

I didn't expect that someone would bring up this name again so soon.

This was a name that Chen Huan found utterly repulsive and that he didn't want to mention.

With no other option, Chen Huan simply opened the passenger door and got in.

The first thing you smell is a unique, delicate feminine fragrance.

Compared to the last time we met, Li Meina has changed noticeably.

She seems to have become younger and prettier.

Chen Huan knew this was because of their dual cultivation, and that Li Meina's body was originally ill, with some meridians blocked.

After the last time they practiced together, Li Meina's body received a great deal of nourishment and conditioning.

He looks to be in exceptionally good spirits and energy right now.

He just kept his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was troubled by something.

"What's wrong with Ma Yanping? What do you want from me?" Chen Huan asked coldly.

Li Meina stared intently at Chen Huan for a long while before asking, "Did you kill him?"
