Chen Nan felt awkward.
If he hadn't slept with Xie Churan last night, he wouldn't have minded developing a platonic friendship with Xie Ling'er and making her dream desires a reality.
However.
He and Xie Churan had already become intimate friends.
Therefore, he had to maintain a certain distance from Xie Ling'er!
If he were to pursue both the young and the old.
He would surely be struck by lightning.
"How did you sleep last night?" Xie Ling'er sat beside Chen Nan.
"Quite well." Chen Nan's eyes darted away.
What else could he do?
Tell her that she was the one who "dealt with" him?
After practicing driving for an entire afternoon, Chen Nan could now easily master reverse parking, parallel parking, and starting on a slope. Even Coach Zhao called him a prodigy.
After all, the most challenging parts of learning to drive were subjects like Skill Test Two. Skill Test Three was actually quite simple.
However.
According to regulations, to obtain a driver's license, a two-month period was required.
If he didn't want to wait that long, he would have to use some connections.
And spend some money.
This way, he could get his driver's license within a week at most.
So, he contacted Sun Sihai and asked him to handle it for him.

In the evening.
Chen Nan returned to the villa on the mountainside with the medicinal ingredients for refining the breast enhancement pills and newly purchased equipment.
Given Xie Churan's extensive network, he had to make the most of his time in the future to refine as many pills as possible. Only then could he earn a fortune and purchase top-grade jade stones to set up a spirit gathering array around Villa 95 on the mountainside.
He had been in the first layer of Qi Refining for two years now, with no signs of breakthrough for so long.
Even though Wu Shan said he had exceptional talent, he still felt a bit uneasy.
There were many ways to break through, such as consuming Qi Refining Pills or rare medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits.
But either choice would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
Unless one's talent was limited and they were unable to break through, no one would use such methods to improve their cultivation.
Of course.
Besides these two methods, there was also finding a place with dense spiritual energy to cultivate.
It was difficult to find such a blessed land in the city.
But he could set one up!
He only needed top-grade jade stones to create a small spirit gathering array.
Once the array was activated, this place would be filled with endless spiritual energy.
Cultivating here would undoubtedly yield twice the results with half the effort.
Even his parents and younger sister would have their bodies subtly transformed if they lived here. While calling it a complete transformation might be an exaggeration, they would surely be immune to all diseases and live long lives.
And this required top-grade jade stones!
Purchasing jade stones required a massive amount of capital!
It was precisely for this reason that Chen Nan partnered with Mu Wanting to establish a beverage company.
And collaborated with Xie Churan to sell pills! kanShuWu.xiA
In essence, it was still about being too poor.
After a night of hard work, he refined thirty breast enhancement pills.
As dawn broke, he cheerfully walked from the third floor to the first floor and greeted the two sisters who were having breakfast, "Good morning to my two little princesses!"
"Brother seems to be in a great mood today!" Chen Xiazhi said with a smile.
Chen Nan shrugged, "With two beautiful girls like you, who wouldn't be in a good mood?"
Their mother brought two bowls of congee to the dining room. She enjoyed their current life, especially the harmonious family atmosphere. However, she still said, "Son, let me give you a heads-up. You won't be in a good mood soon." wap.kanshuWu.net
"What's wrong?" Chen Nan asked curiously.
"Your Fourth Uncle has come to the city and is treating us to a meal at noon," Chen Shan said as he walked out of the bedroom.
"Wait!"
Chen Nan walked out, then returned to the dining room suspiciously, "Dad, the sun didn't rise in the west today. Why is Third Uncle treating us to a meal?"
The Chen family came from a poor mountainous region in the south of Jizhou. Chen Shan was the eldest son, with two younger brothers.
They were named Chen He and Chen Yang.
However, they did not have a good relationship with their hometown.
Normally, they would only return during the Qingming Festival to pay respects to the elders.
He hadn't even had any contact with his two uncles.
Chen Shan said, "Your Third Uncle's cousin, Chen Bei, bought a house in Jizhou. He said he wants us to join in the celebration, but I think he clearly wants to show off."
Chen Xiazhi pouted, "Dad, you're too modest. If you were more assertive and invited Second Uncle and Third Uncle to our house, would they be like this?"
"That's not right. How could Third Uncle's family afford a house in Jizhou?" Chen Hanlu asked curiously.
Chen Shan said, "I heard Chen Bei works at the Jiang Corporation, and his salary is not low. Buying a house wouldn't be difficult!"
Everyone understood.
The Jiang Corporation's salaries were very generous. As long as one became a formal employee, the Jiang Corporation would first provide a 300,000 housing fund.
Generally, this was more than enough for a down payment on a three-bedroom apartment.
"Then what do you mean, Dad? Are we going or not?" Chen Nan looked at his father. In fact, none of them wanted to go, but their father was the head of the family.
Chen Shan sighed, "I don't want to go, but if we don't, it wouldn't be right. After all, your Third Uncle invited us. If we don't go, it would seem like we're looking down on them..."
"Then let's go," Jia Cui made the decision for Chen Shan and then looked at Chen Xiazhi and Chen Hanlu, "You two come with us after school at noon. If we're going, we're all going. We can't let that family look down on us!"
"To be honest, I don't want to go. I don't have any good feelings for anyone in that family except Auntie!" Chen Xiazhi said with displeasure.
She clearly remembered what happened when her parents remarried.
That year, when her parents held their wedding, they had invited their two uncles and paternal aunt to the family.
But unfortunately, only their paternal aunt came.
She rode her bicycle for a whole day to reach Jizhou, brought them a pair of pillowcases she had sewn herself, and also sewed a pair of thousand-stitch cloth shoes for each of the three siblings.
As for Second Uncle and Third Uncle, they didn't show up at all.
How could she like that family when they didn't even attend her brother's wedding?
Chen Shan forced a smile, "Can you two sisters do me a favor?"
"Oh, okay." Chen Xiazhi lowered her head.
"You guys eat. I'll go out for a walk." Chen Shan walked out alone, appearing to have changed into someone else.
After Chen Shan left, Jia Cui glared, "You little brat, what are you saying about your paternal aunt? Don't you know that your paternal aunt is your father's sensitive spot?"
Chen Xiazhi said nervously, "My bad, my bad. I wasn't thinking straight just now."
"Mom, what happened to Auntie? Why does Dad get so upset when he talks about her?" Chen Hanlu asked.
Jia Cui sighed, "Your paternal aunt went missing while going to the market. Your grandfather and the others searched for a long time but couldn't find her. In the old home, only your paternal aunt and your father had a good relationship. Her disappearance was a huge blow to your father."
"After she disappeared, your grandparents were heartbroken and couldn't accept it. They died with their eyes open."
"This is still a thorn in your father's heart!"
"Alas, even though fifteen years have passed since this incident, your father still mutters your paternal aunt's name in his dreams!"
"Every time, he cries profusely!"
"We don't even know if she's alive or dead now!"
