Downstairs, He Yuzhu was still planning to cook a good meal for He Xiao, just like in his previous life. He was busy in the kitchen, with Lou Xiaoe and He Xiao helping him.

Listening to the laughter coming from the kitchen, Lou Jinjiang, who was chatting with Lou Tan in the living room, glanced in the direction of the kitchen:

"He is a low-class cook. If the times were not tough, he would only be fit to cook in the kitchen. But now, he can even enter the house!"

Lou Tan didn't like Lou Jinjiang very much, as he was not her own son. But since her husband had made him the heir of everything in Hong Kong and Kowloon, she, as a stepmother, could only accept this son with a pinch of her nose!

She knew that this stepson in front of her was complaining about the world and disparaging He Yuzhu on the surface, but in reality, he was venting his dissatisfaction by belittling her daughter and her.

She was dissatisfied with He Ping'an for driving him downstairs, and she and Xiao'e for not speaking up for him!

Bah! A stepson also wants to borrow her relationship with Xiao'e, what a joke!

It turned out that Lou Bancheng wanted Lou Tan to persuade Lou Xiaoe to say a few good words for Lou Jinjiang in front of He Pingan. Lou Tan refused directly in front of Lou Jinjiang!

"Jinjiang is sensible. I don't like He Yuzhu, the cook. How can he be worthy of my daughter? It's a pity that I don't have the ability. How about you, as her brother, help me to do justice?"

Seeing the undisguised mockery in Lou Tan's eyes, Lou Jinjiang wanted to get angry, but the occasional laughter from the kitchen calmed him down. He snorted coldly and went to the garden outside!

Seeing Lou Jinjiang leave, Lou Tan curled her lips in disdain, stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Over the years, she has finally figured it out. She may really have to rely on her daughter for her old age. She can't offend her son-in-law!

Upstairs, Lou Bancheng was asking He Pingan about the situation in China: "Brother Pingan, do you think I can still go back to China to retire now?"

What he meant was that he was asking whether He Ping'an could still protect him!

He Ping'an understood Lou Bancheng's thoughts. It was because the storm was too big and all his backers had been delegated to lower levels, so they doubted his ability!

"Of course, you can go back anytime you want. My promise still holds true!" He Ping'an answered firmly!

After hearing He Ping'an's answer, Lou Bancheng's worry faded a little. He believed that He Ping'an would protect him, but the storm... could He Ping'an really protect himself?

Everything went smoothly as expected: Ever since he got a positive answer last time, Lou Bancheng was thinking about returning home.

He carefully trained Lou Xiao'e, and then happily handed over the Oriental Trade to Lou Xiao'e. He even handed over all his own industries to Lou Jinjiang.

Just when Lou Bancheng was happily waiting to return home, a storm suddenly broke out in the country. With the fall of a large number of familiar names, he became timid! Fortunately, He Ping'an remained strong and nothing happened!

However, this also caused Lou Bancheng to be in a dilemma: go back? He was worried that He Ping'an could not protect him; don't go back? Judging from He Ping'an's attitude, he would definitely not let him interfere in the Eastern Trade again. Take back the property in his son's hands?

Heh..., no one knows a son better than his father. He knows his son Lou Jinjiang well. If he dares to ask for the property back, both father and son will be in trouble. If he fails, he may even be killed!

Do I really have to make a living by guarding that half-dying textile factory?

The textile factory was a failed attempt by Lou Bancheng. As early as last year, when the domestic economy started to boom, Lou Bancheng, who was good at making preparations, built a textile factory. He wanted to start a new business, but unfortunately he failed miserably!

Everyone would give face to Lou Bancheng, the general manager of Oriental Trade, but they would not buy into Lou Bancheng's account of the textile factory! If the general manager of Oriental Trade was not his daughter, the textile factory would have gone bankrupt long ago!

Lou Bancheng had thought about using the Oriental Trade as a cover, but his good daughter rejected him. Facing his daughter who was even better than him, Lou Bancheng was powerless to retreat!

Seeing that Lou Bancheng didn't say much for a long time, He Pingan lost his patience:

"For Xiao'e and He Xiao's sake, my promise will be valid forever: Brother Lou can return to China whenever he wants!" After saying that, he got up and left the room without caring about the distressed Lou Bancheng.

Lou Bancheng smiled bitterly. He had known for a long time that He Pingan looked down on him, and the reason why he brought him to Hong Kong and Kowloon was largely to repay his kindness. Now that the favor had been repaid, the two sides no longer owed each other anything!

In-laws are just in-laws, not to mention his daughter...! Alas...

He Ping'an walked downstairs and found that there was no one in the living room, but the kitchen was quite lively!

"Yo! They're all here!"

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu was sorting out the ingredients, with Lou Tanshi and Lou Xiaoe helping him. And He Xiao was running around like a monkey!

"Uncle!" He Xiao was very curious about this uncle whom he had never heard of in his previous life and wanted to test him out.

As a child, of course he acts young!

He Pingan picked up He Xiao who rushed over and weighed him. He found that he was quite heavy. I don't know how this kid looks like. He is obviously less than three years old, but he looks like a five or six-year-old child!

He Yuzhu, who was sorting out the ingredients, saw He Ping'an coming in and kept showing off with a big grin:

"Uncle, don't look at me as a poor student when I was young. But my son is really smart. At the age of three, other children still wore open-crotch pants and peed in mud. But my son is in elementary school! If this happened in ancient times, he would have been a child prodigy!"

"Look at this physique. This afternoon after school, he fought three of them alone and beat them till they cried! What does the opera say? He is good at both civil and military affairs!"

Three-year-old in primary school, and fighting three people alone? This is really strange! Why is He Xiao in the TV series like a big fool?

Seeing that He Ping'an didn't say anything, He Yuzhu thought that his uncle didn't believe it. He pulled Lou Xiao'e to testify and talked about the conflict with the Xiang family in the afternoon!

Hearing that He Xiao had really fought with someone and was called a wild child. Before He Pingan expressed his opinion, Lou Tan was the first to get anxious:

"How could they do this? They have no manners! He Xiao, quickly tell grandma if anyone is hurt?"

He Pingan also understood Lou Tan's thoughts. Although he didn't come to Hong Kong and Kowloon often in recent years, he should not forget Ajiu! He has been supervising Lou Bancheng! Ajiu knows the situation of the Lou family very well!

Back then, Lou Bancheng planned to let Lou Jinjiang inherit everything he had in Hong Kong and Kowloon. This not only caused opposition from Lou Xiaoe, but also Lou Tan. She even suggested to Lou Bancheng that Lou Jincheng should inherit directly. It is human nature to distinguish between relatives and strangers!

Later, although Lou Bancheng allowed Lou Jincheng and Lou Jinjiang to compete fairly, Lou Tan thought that Lou Bancheng was still biased towards Lou Jinjiang. Why should her two children live in fear with Lou Bancheng while Lou Jinjiang can just pick up a ready-made child?

Later, under Lou Bancheng's strong coercion, although Lou Tan reluctantly accepted Lou Jinjiang, she also began to become estranged from Lou Bancheng.

Now it seems that Lou Tan is just like in the original play, entrusting her future to Lou Xiao'e. But it's true, if you have your own children, no one will care about outsiders!
