C6 You Have to Pay Your Respects to the Mountain Before You Enter the Mountain

Chen Tianhai lowered his head and leaned on Lin Xiaoxue's shoulder. A dark light shot out from his eyes.

He hated those who used him as a chess piece the most in his life. Clearly, the Chen Family had touched his bottom line.

During the two years he had been away, he had tasted the bitterness of the human world and had seen through the coldness of human nature. Therefore, he would never show mercy to anyone who touched his bottom line.

Even the family that he had been born and raised would not be able to do so.

Those high and mighty people, in the end, had to pay the price for what they had done.

After a while, he felt a soft snoring sound in his ear. He turned his head and saw that Lin Xiaoxue had already fallen asleep.

It was also true that after the intense battle last night and the stimulation just now, her body and mind were both exhausted.

Sleep then. Chen Tianhai did not move at all, afraid to wake Lin Xiaoxue up. To him, carrying 500 pounds of heavy weight for a day and night was very easy, not to mention that Lin Xiaoxue was not that heavy.

After three or four hours, she finally woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found Chen Tianhai beside her. Lin Xiaoxue suddenly stood up and looked at him with hostility.

But after a few seconds, this hostility quietly turned into nothingness and was replaced by a complicated and inexplicable loneliness.

This incident had dealt a huge blow to her. She had no idea how she should continue to face the people of the Lin Family.

"Tianhai, I... What should I do?" Lin Xiaoxue bit her lips and whispered like a mosquito.

Chen Tianhai let out a breath and said, "Just like usual."

"How is that possible?" Lin Xiaoxue smiled bitterly. There were traces of tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Before, I did not know that grandpa had plotted against me. Maybe I could go to work as if nothing had happened."

"But now I feel like I can't do it. I can't pretend that nothing had happened."

"Unfortunately, I'm just a small employee. I don't have any authority at all. No matter how much I mess around, I won't be able to hurt the Lin Family in the slightest."

"I've failed too much."

Lin Xiaoxue became more and more excited as she spoke. In the end, she covered her face and cried.

Chen Tianhai touched her soft hair. He wanted to say some comforting words, but he held it in his mouth and did not say it out.

In his eyes, Lin Xiaoxue still lacked some hardship.

If she were to experience what he had experienced in the past two years, perhaps she would also become stronger.

At least, in front of those who had wronged her, she would not be at a loss like she was now.

After a while, Chen Tianhai's phone rang. He took it and saw that it was Chen Fa's again. He guessed that the old thing was trying to lure him back to the family.

He didn't want to answer such a phone, but he didn't want to.

The phone rang for forty seconds and the other party hung up. Lin Xiaoxue sniffled and asked, "Who called?"

"A stranger. Chen Tianhai replied coldly.

"Oh." Lin Xiaoxue replied. She suddenly felt that she did not hate Chen Tianhai that much anymore. Somehow, she had become more dependent on him.

Not long after, Chen Tianhai's text message sounded, "Young Master, the old patriarch found out that you injured the young master of Yan Family. He asked this old servant to tell Young Master that as long as he is willing to return to the family, the family will take responsibility for this."

Chen Tianhai snorted coldly and put the phone back into his pocket.

"I have to go out in the afternoon. Take a good rest at home and wait for me to come back." He picked up the clothes on the sofa and walked out the door.

Lin Xiaoxue sat blankly and watched his back as he left. Her emotions were complicated.

After exiting the door, Chen Tianhai slowly moved to the side of Hanshui Lake and sat on the big rock by the lake. His brows were throbbing.

In less than three minutes, the secretary called. "Boss, the first batch of construction teams has entered Bianzhou. It's just that the local developers of Bianzhou are very unfriendly."

"Who are they?" Chen Tianhai asked coldly.

The secretary thought for a moment and then said, "Yan Family, Chen Family, and Lin Family."

When he heard this answer, he smiled indifferently. He didn't expect that they would provoke him before he even thought about how to torture them.

This was good as well. In any case, he would have to clash with them one by one sooner or later. He would have to interact with them first and familiarize himself with the battlefield environment. If possible, he would first collect some interest from them.

"Tell them that everything will go as usual. They will have to pay their respects to the mountain before entering the mountain. These three families will give them gifts one by one, regardless of the consequences. They will win the favor of the three families."

Chen Tianhai said with a snort.

The secretary was a little embarrassed. "Boss, this is a little too difficult. If they find out and work together to deal with us, it will not be worth it."

"Then you won't let them find out! Also, pay attention to the Chen Family at all times. I've just injured the Yan Family's Young Master. Tell me if they do anything in time." Chen Tianhai's voice became a little heavier.

The secretary instantly understood what he was thinking. He gave a strange smile and said, "I understand, boss."

Chen Tianhai took a deep breath and looked at the calm surface of the lake. His eyes were burning with hatred.

When he got home, he took off his coat and put it on the hanger.

In the kitchen, Lin Xiaoxue was cooking dishes with her extremely inexperienced methods.

The strong smell of burnt flesh permeated the entire living room. Even with a high-powered oil smoker, it did not eliminate it.

Chen Tianhai coughed twice in a row and went into the kitchen with the thick smoke. "What are you doing?"

Lin Xiaoxue heard his voice and her body suddenly quivered. The rice spoon in her hand fell to the ground.

She turned around with two flour marks on her face. I just wanted to try cooking."

"It's been almost three years since I came here. I've never tried cooking by myself."

"I thought a lot just now. Even if life is unfair to me, I should still love life."

Chen Tianhai suddenly laughed. He looked at Lin Xiaoxue helplessly. He felt that she was like a child. She was just about to die and live. It had only been half an hour and she had already returned to normal.

He picked up the spoon and placed it in the sink to wash it. He turned his head and said, "Leave this to me."

"You know how to cook?" Lin Xiaoxue widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Chen Tianhai pursed his lips. "A little bit."

As he spoke, he skillfully held the handle of the pot and pushed it back and forth. The dishes went around the pot several times.

Lin Xiaoxue's eyes lit up when she saw this scene. "Didn't you also live a comfortable life before? Why do you still know this?"

Chen Tianhai took a deep breath. As if he had experienced many hardships, he said sadly, "Two years of drifting and learning too much."

Lin Xiaoxue turned her head in disdain and lightly snorted. "You're still arrogant when I say you're fat."

As soon as she finished speaking, she slanted her eyes and continuously sized up Chen Tianhai in front of the stove, her eyes flickering with a strange light.

In less than ten minutes, the dishes were served. Although there was still a little bit of paste that had not been cleaned up, it was still much better than before.
