“When the three of us eat together, either we charge it to the company, or we take turns treating.

If you still won’t let me pay, then whenever you ask me out to eat, we’ll all go have rice noodles or fast food.”

That made both Dai Hengxin and He Liangcong freeze.

The two men exchanged a look.

Dai Hengxin spoke up first. “Then let’s take turns. Last time He treated me, this time it’s on me. Next time, you treat. Sounds good?”

It sounded reasonable enough. Xiao Yingchun agreed and went back to eating happily.

After Xiao Yingchun said goodbye and left, He Liangcong finally sighed to Dai Hengxin, “Old Dai, I get it now. She looks easygoing, but she’s actually very strong-minded.”

Not easy to pursue.

Dai Hengxin nodded as well. “Yeah. She’s… special.”

He Liangcong patted Dai Hengxin on the shoulder, full of sympathy. “Brother, if you want to chase her, you’ve got a long road ahead.”

Dai Hengxin stared at him. “What do you mean?”

When it came to chasing women, He Liangcong’s experience was unquestionably far richer than Dai Hengxin’s.

He looked at Dai Hengxin seriously. “She’s always smiling, sure—but haven’t you noticed? She keeps her distance from both you and me.”

Dai Hengxin thought it over. That actually makes sense.

But then again—isn’t it normal for a girl to keep her distance from guys she’s not familiar with?

He Liangcong waved a hand dismissively. “Normal? Says who? Believe it or not, if I drive my Porsche around the streets for one lap, I can pick up a girl and take her to a hotel in minutes.

By the time it’s over, I still won’t even know her name!”

Dai Hengxin looked at him, speechless. “Those are gold diggers.”

“Hey, don’t be so sure,” He Liangcong said. “The girls willing to get in my car aren’t all gold diggers. There are all kinds—different jobs and backgrounds.”

Dai Hengxin sighed. “Alright, alright, you’re experienced. You’ve got the right to speak. But she’s different.”

“Exactly why I’m saying it won’t be easy for you to win her over.”

Dai Hengxin frowned. “Win her over? I’m serious about her. I’m thinking long-term—marriage. What are you even saying?”

He Liangcong snorted. “Come on. Even if you really want to marry her, do you think you’ll get past your parents?”

Dai Hengxin fell silent. “…”

When Dai Hengxin left in a bad mood, He Liangcong suddenly realized something.

“Damn! If you two actually end up together, doesn’t that make me the outsider?

Old Dai! Old Dai! Wait for me—”

Xiao Yingchun returned home and, as usual, opened both the front and back doors before sitting behind the counter to watch the shop.

Business was slow that afternoon, but several waves of neighbors stopped by to check on her, asking how the court hearing had gone that day.

Xiao Yingchun smiled and explained what had happened. Only then did the neighbors sigh, criticize Ge Chunyu at length, sympathize with Xiao Yingchun, and praise her for having done right by her relatives.

Ye Yubin, however, seemed different. After hearing her explanation, he let out a breath of relief. After hesitating for quite a while, he finally lowered his voice and spoke.

“I heard this area might be slated for demolition. Ending things cleanly with them for a few tens of thousands and signing an agreement that neither side will make further property claims is the best option.

That way, they won’t come back to cause trouble later.”

Xiao Yingchun was stunned. “What?”

Ye Yubin quickly glanced around. “Just keep this to yourself. Don’t spread it around.”

“I know. I won’t tell anyone,” Xiao Yingchun promised repeatedly, suppressing the panic rising in her chest. Only then did Ye Yubin shuffle away in his slippers.

Xiao Yingchun was deeply troubled.

She didn’t care about the compensation money, nor was she afraid of trouble from her grandmother’s side of the family. What she was worried about was this:

If there’s demolition, what happens to the Cross-Time Supermarket?
Can it be relocated?
If it can’t be moved and she firmly refuses demolition, will they forcibly tear it down?

She’d become what they call a ‘nail house’—a holdout that refuses demolition.

Would everyone think she was stupid?
