Chapter 39 Dai Hengxin's Unrequited Love
Dai Enning was very sure: If her brother didn't care, he wouldn't criticize her so angrily, let alone do so in front of their parents.
She's just a kept woman, what's the big deal?
Just wait, I will tear off your disguise!
Dai Enning secretly made up his mind.
After solving Dai Enning's problem, Dai Hengxin sent a message to Xiao Yingchun, but Xiao Yingchun rejected him.
Dai Hengxin's heart began to fluctuate, and he had a sense of crisis.
Would she completely draw a line between them from now on?!
So the next morning, Dai Hengxin sent a message to Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun didn't reply, because at that time she was wholeheartedly serving her sponsor Fu Chenan.
So Dai Hengxin used the excuse of visiting his grandfather to pass by Xiao Yingchun's supermarket.
In the early morning, Xiao Yingchun's car was at the door, but the door of the small supermarket was closed.
Is Xiao Yingchun at home? Or is she out? Why didn't she open the door?
Dai Hengxin sat at his grandfather's house, preoccupied.
Zhao Jiping noticed his grandson's expression and couldn't help but tease him, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look like you've lost your soul?"
Dai Hengxin pondered, then couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what do you think of Yingchun?"
Zhao Jiping had practically watched Xiao Yingchun grow up, so he knew her situation and character. He nodded affirmatively.
"She's such a good girl. She's polite, simple, and dresses elegantly."
"If I date her, will my parents agree?"
Zhao Jiping pondered his daughter and son-in-law's character and remained silent for a moment. "If your parents don't agree and force you to give up, will you still insist on dating her?"
Dai Hengxin frowned, but didn't respond. "What do you think my parents are pursuing?"
Zhao Jiping sighed, but didn't reply.
What are they pursuing?
Climbing the ladder!
Striving for each generation to be better than the last!
After all, each generation can't be worse than the last.
Both grandfather and grandson understood.
To achieve this goal, parents treated their children's marriages as a stepping stone, only seeking marriages with families of equal or greater status than their own.
Dai Enning chased He Liangcong everywhere, oblivious to the fact that he was a scoundrel, a second-generation prodigy.
With his colorful hair and his slacking studies, he was in his twenties, a notorious playboy who spent his days playing around instead of doing his job.
Despite this notorious scumbag, his parents flocked to him, practically desperate for their daughter to seduce him...
Ultimately, wasn't it because of the other family's power and influence?!
But his parents didn't realize that, even with He Liangcong's eccentricity, the He family never responded to the Dai family's jokes about "in-laws."
It was clear that the He family simply didn't value the Dai family's limited resources.
As for his own marriage... Dai Hengxin was troubled.
Zhao Jiping looked at Dai Hengxin deeply. "I really like Yingchun, but if you're not sure, and aren't sure of your parents' consent, you'd better not mess with her."
"Why? What era is this? I can decide my marriage," Dai Hengxin said unconvinced.
Zhao Jiping sighed. "If you really like that girl, would you let her suffer such contempt and disdain in front of your parents?"
"How could she be willing to endure such contempt?"
"Don't think that girl has a good temper. If anyone provokes her, she's very sharp-tongued!"
Zhao Jiping suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but smile.

Dai Hengxin recalled what He Liangcong had relayed to him: "Xiao Yingchun doesn't want to come when Dai Enning is around," and replayed what Dai Enning had said to Xiao Yingchun last night.
Dai Enning was a naturally blunt person, and it was perfectly normal for him to speak that way; Dai Hengxin had seen it before.
But last night was the first time he'd worried that the person Dai Enning had spoken to would be upset, uncomfortable.
Simply because that person was Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun couldn't handle Dai Enning's words, so what if it were his own mother displaying that kind of contempt?
Dai Hengxin suddenly felt a pang of fear, dreading the prospect of such a situation.
He didn't know if he should persuade Xiao Yingchun to hold back, or ask her mother to stop.
But surely no one would listen?
Ultimately, Dai Hengxin didn't get the answer he wanted. As he left after lunch, he passed by the Yingchun Grocery Store, only to find it closed. Xiao Yingchun hadn't opened it yet.
Xiao Yingchun had just seen off her financial sponsor, Fu Chenan, and was catching up on some sleep.
She'd pulled a long sleep last night, only managing to get some sleep just before dawn. How could she be energetic now? She'd been dreaming.
When she woke, it was already evening.
Xiao Yingchun went downstairs to gather her bedding and returned upstairs, using her space's built-in organization function to clean the supermarket before opening the front door.
While waiting for customers, Xiao Yingchun searched her phone for various life-saving gadgets.
Chain mail?
Stab-proof gloves?
Bulletproof vests?
She looked at each one. Price wasn't the issue; practicality, something that could fit snugly and unnoticeably, was key.
Fu Chen'an was the key to her future fortune; he had to be protected!
After careful selection, she finally found the right items. She bought one of each, planning to let Fu Chen'an choose when the items returned and return the rest.
As she was choosing, she heard a laugh: "Haha, Yingchun, are you watching the store?"
Xiao Yingchun looked up and met Liu Weimin's smirk.
"Director Liu, you're still here?" Xiao Yingchun was surprised.
She had originally thought Liu Weimin had given up after being rejected, but who knew he was still around?
Liu Weimin sighed and sat at the small round table, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yingchun, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Yingchun, my cousin told me about that guy yesterday. He's the son of a wealthy family. He spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a night at the bar."
"He was just playing with you..."
"If you're willing to be my girlfriend, I don't care what happened between you and him. I'm willing to marry you."
Xiao Yingchun initially took it as a joke, but as she listened, she became angry and walked out from behind the counter.
