"Yeah, this brand's tonic wine is quite effective. I've used it before; drinking a cup before bed improves sleep quality." someone said, holding a bottle of wine.

The women deliberately raised their voices, clearly hinting at something.

Because they all knew that Du Qingyue was very generous; just saying this would surely prompt him to give out a few bottles.

Although they weren't short of money themselves, this mindset was quite odd. It seemed like getting something for free felt like a huge bargain, and the excitement would last for a long time.

However, this time, they really misjudged the situation.

It's true that Du Qingyue was generous to them, but it didn't mean Xiao Feng would treat them the same way.

"These things are still decent, right?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.

"More than decent, they're all famous brands and not cheap," the person who was eating noodles at the Du Family's front gate said, flattering, "Looks like your social connections with Qingyue are good. Surely all these things were gifts from visitors?"

Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue exchanged a look, both feeling somewhat insulted. So if it weren't for Wang Lubo sending these, it proves we don't have any friends and our social connections are bad?

But in this regard, true friends don't need to be many but of good quality. Like Wang Lubo, who alone is worth a group, at least in terms of giving gifts.

"Since you like them, let's not stand around anymore. Let's go," said Xiao Feng.

Someone immediately hugged two big boxes of bird's nest, laughing, "Then we won't be pol..."

At this point, they couldn't continue because they just realized Xiao Feng was saying to leave, not to start taking stuff.

"..."

For a moment, the situation started heading towards awkwardness.

The many aunts and cousins hadn't expected Xiao Feng to suddenly make a sharp turn in his sentence, catching them completely off guard.

At this point, Du Qingyun spoke up, "Xiao Feng, your and Qingyue's old place had a problem, and for the next few months, it's definitely unlivable. Why not just move into the Du Family estate? It's almost New Year's, and everyone being together is lively."

"No, we're planning to go look at a new house this afternoon," Xiao Feng politely declined.

Du Feixiang persuaded with a smile, "We're family, no need to be so formal. Besides, both of your careers are very successful; being at home could set a good example for the young people in the Du Family!"

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, questioning, "You just said my career is successful, but what career do I have?"

Indeed!

Just thinking about it, Xiao Feng realized he really couldn't figure out what career he had.

Though they were about to open a couple's shop, it hadn't started yet, so it naturally couldn't be considered a career, let alone successful.

"..." Du Feixiang was stunned for a long time, his brain working fast, but he couldn't find the right answer. He couldn't just say extorting others is a profession, right?

Though the Du Family knew without saying, Xiao Feng recently made a fortune, getting a star-rated hotel and a limited edition sports car from the Chang Family. No one would believe Xiao Feng was poor.

But the problem is, how to explain the source of this money?

Indeed, Xiao Feng didn't really have a proper career.

Seeing the atmosphere about to turn from awkward to even more awkward, the Du Family was inwardly frantic: can we even chat properly now?

Especially the one who had picked up the two big boxes of bird's nest, after putting it down felt a burning sensation on their cheeks, as if slapped hard.

Ultimately, it was Old Master Du who broke the ice.

Du Qingyun remained cheerful, like a kind elder, smiling: "Alright then, since you don't want to move back, let's wait and talk about it later. Whenever you want to come back, just come back."

After the hired hands moved away all the health products from the house, Xiao Feng finally left with Du Qingyue, making the Du Family inwardly curse: Are you worried we'd steal a few items if you don't watch over them?

Is there really a need to guard against us like we're thieves?

But Xiao Feng couldn't care less what they thought. He already decided the use for these things, and even if he hadn't, there's no way he'd give them to the Du Family cheaply.

No way, he's got that personality!

"Where are we headed now?" Outside the hospital, Du Qingyue saw off her family, then looked at Xiao Feng and asked.

"Didn't I just say?" Xiao Feng looked puzzled: "To see the new house. What else? Rent a place?"

Du Qingyue was a bit taken aback; she thought Xiao Feng was joking before, but unexpectedly he really intended to buy a house.

"Current available houses in Jiangcheng are hard to find; most are pre-sale. We might not find something suitable," Du Qingyue reminded.

"Let's try our luck; if we don't find something suitable, then we'll see later," Xiao Feng said casually.

Honestly, he's a bit regretful for sending Duan Guotai and Duan Li into jail so early; if they were still out, he could save a lot of money.

Now the situation is Duan Guotai's group, after he was imprisoned, faced declining operations. Many properties are sold off at rock-bottom prices to maintain normal operations.

But this kind of asset-short style would sooner or later hit a dead end, leading to inevitable bankruptcy and clearance. Du Linlang had set her eyes on this cake, ambitiously wanting to enter the real estate industry.

As for the result, it's clear: if Du Linlang succeeds, she wouldn't need Xiao Feng's help.

At this moment, Xiao Feng frowned: "What's going on, are cabs not taking passengers today?"

The hospital entrance has always been one of the most active spots for cabs, and indeed there were many cabs on the road, but none stopped for Xiao Feng.

Some even switched lanes after seeing Xiao Feng waving and sped away. Those who couldn't change lanes braked, reversed, and turned away, as if avoiding the plague.

Du Qingyue also noticed something was off, because just now, a cab on the opposite side of the road stopped a couple not far away.

Knowing that she and Xiao Feng were closer than that couple, unless the driver had prior bookings, it made no sense to choose whom to pick up from afar.

"What have you been doing lately?" Du Qingyue asked with a frown, even if one or two cars had prior orders or bookings, surely not all cabs were booked in advance?
