Chapter 203 I Am Not as Good as You
"This house looks very old. Chen Xiaolong didn't help. He just waited for Chen Ping'an to take off the sheets and sat on the sofa to watch.
Chen Ping'an didn't expect his help either.
I opened the window for ventilation, and then went to get some tap water to boil.
"Everyone in Yun Province likes to drink tea. Do you want to try my craft?"
He began to rummage through boxes and cabinets looking for tea.
It's a pity that when Chen Shaohua's family moved, he was already at Beijing University, and he didn't know where his things were.
Chen Xiaolong saw something was wrong with him and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't like drinking tea very much."
Chen Pingan explained awkwardly before the two of them calmed down.
Just when he didn't know what to say, Chen Xiaolong suddenly asked:
"I'm not familiar with Yuncheng. You have lived here for many years. Do you think this community will be included in the scope of this project?"
Chen Ping'an's photographic memory was immediately apparent.
He took out his computer and quickly opened it, pulled up the map and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"If I remember correctly, according to what Third Uncle said, what our Chen family mainly wants to do this time is to open two areas at the same time, right..."
He pointed at the map and said: "My home is here, in the North District of Nakajima.
My home is definitely not within the scope of demolition.
The demolition area of the project is here, an old community in Linhai District.
In Yuncheng, this place is considered the oldest community.
It used to be a place where only the rich and well-connected could live. Later, when other places slowly developed, only those with poor family conditions would move here.
But now the housing prices in Yuncheng are not low. Of course, they are incomparable to those in Beijing..."
It was only now that he realized that the memory of his previous life had changed because of him.
In his memory, within fifteen years, the Linhai District only started to be renovated about four or five years later.
The first thing to be renovated is the area where the houses he selected for Huihui are located, because the subway will soon start planning, probably next year and the year after.
That is to say, as soon as the plan came out, housing prices along the planned area began to soar.
Subsequently, huge investments in demolition and reconstruction followed.
But now because of his rebirth, and because of his entanglements with the Fang family and the Chen family, the Chen family wants to start reforming the old and poor people in Linhai District under the slogan of venting their anger for him...
When Chen Xiaolong looked at the computer screen, Chen Pingan's mind had already gone to other places.
"I heard that you won the lottery with the money you bought Huihui for a dozen houses?"
When he was thinking wildly, Chen Xiaolong suddenly asked.
After Chen Pingan came to his senses, he nodded, "Well, good luck. It's a pity that I bought less."
Chen Xiaolong smiled and remained silent. After a while, he asked again:
"You have lived in this house since you were a child. You returned to Fang's house in the third year of junior high school? Then you were kicked out again before the college entrance examination. Can you tell me the reason?"
He took out the ashtray from under the coffee table and placed it in front of himself on the coffee table.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and gestured to Chen Pingan, "Want one?"
Chen Pingan shook his head, "I don't smoke."
"Third uncle should have told you everything about me. Why are you asking me in person?"
He was a little curious and asked casually.
After Chen Xiaolong lit up his cigarette, he said: "Listening to what others say is always not as true as hearing what you say.
My dad likes to exaggerate when he speaks. Usually, I have to squeeze out a lot of water from what he says, otherwise I will always be deceived. "
Chen Pingan was even more curious.
"Your father...third uncle, what did he lie to you about?"
Chen Xiaolong waved his hand, "Nothing, nothing.
Let’s talk about your story. I’m actually quite curious. You said that your biological parents brought you back, and then your whole family didn’t want to see you. So what’s the purpose of bringing you back? "
Of course, Chen Ping'an now would not treat his past as a scar.
He also doesn't shy away from others mentioning this topic in person.
"Actually, it's nothing, but if you want to find me back then, it's probably because I look so much like him.
Basically, when you see my face, you know that I am his son.
Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he couldn't continue to let me stay outside for the sake of face.
So, it ended up being like this. "
There is no need to explain the detailed process, and it is of no use.
He doesn't need to do misfortune to win sympathy, not to mention that although the young man in front of him is the same age as him, he actually thinks that he is not as mature as him in terms of mental maturity.
"Your brother's name is Fang Hongjun, right?"
Chen Xiaolong asked casually, "After I heard about you, I started asking about your parents' family.
As for your father's illegitimate son, he was killed in country M because he hired someone to drive a car to kill you, along with his mother, Qin Bailian. "
Before Chen Pingan's expression solidified, he smiled and continued: "You see, I said I have no obvious shortcomings, and this is one of them."
Chen Pingan opened his mouth, and after a while he nodded and said, "I am indeed not as good as you!"
Chen Xiaolong shook his head and refused to admit it.
“Maybe you still have some misunderstandings.
After I learned this, I started asking around because of my habits rather than because I have any interest or thoughts about you.
Not to mention that he would not take advantage of this opportunity to get involved in the south like my father did, while also roping in the Huo family.
As for whether we really have to deal with other people later, it all has to do with you.
So your role in this whole thing is very important.
From this perspective, I am not as good as you. ”
Chen Pingan closed his mouth and didn't know what to say.
"Anyway, any family is profit-oriented.
For example, in this matter, you are completely a used character, but can you say that your family is doing something wrong?
Even if it is a normal business investment or opening up a market in the south, you can't say anything, right?
Besides, your existence has made my father and second uncle, and possibly my eldest uncle, discuss an opponent together.
To invest in Yun Province, you always have to knock down one or two birds that stick out.
With you, the bird that sticks out is the Fang family. ”
Chen Pingan was not angry. He thought about it and asked, "Huo family, what is the meaning of the Huo family coming here?"
Chen Xiaolong flicked the ash and said, "Aunt is a member of the Huo family."
Chen Pingan nodded, "So, is your marriage with Huo Shiyun also for this reason?
I was a nobody in the Fang family for four years. I knew nothing and never participated in anything in the Fang family.
So I would not have expected these things..."
Chen Xiaolong took a puff of cigarette and said with some hatred: "That old woman Huo Shiyun wants to marry me? Dream on!
You should understand one thing, my passport is always with me.
I can run away anytime I want!"
"I'm afraid that my third uncle and my eldest uncle will agree. With the status and position of my eldest uncle, what if he speaks? From the perspective of the family's interests, you should not refuse!"
Chen Pingan said slowly: "I heard from my father that you went to Europe for other reasons. Of course, I don't know the details. It should be because your ideas are too different from those of my third uncle.
I just want to say that no matter how awesome your ideas are, at least you still lack one thing..."
