Regarding the reactions of these people, Cheng Hao wasn’t surprised, knowing that the Urban Village project is indeed very enticing. Families like theirs, who wouldn’t want to join?

"Everyone rest assured, if I really have the opportunity to be involved, I certainly won’t forget you!" Cheng Hao said.

"Alright, so what are you planning to do? If you need us for anything, just speak up. But you kid, don’t forget that if anything good happens in the future, you must think of us!"

Then, a few people started discussing the details of the evening, figuring out how to move Shen Siwen emotionally. Everyone was doing their best to strategize, hoping to take this opportunity to make a good impression. Only then could they reap some benefits from Cheng Hao.

Such a thing was naturally not a challenge for these people. They were always surrounded by women, so they were well adept at this sort of thing. The proposal plan quickly came together.

Next, Cheng Hao contacted Gu Qing’er. Since Gu Qing’er had other plans, why not take this chance to do it together? When Shen Siwen was moved, she would certainly be the most obedient and honest.

"Qing’er, I’m planning to propose to Shen Siwen tonight. Do you have any instructions? The chances of success tonight should be high." Cheng Hao said.

"Cheng Hao, I didn’t expect you to go to this extent. Aren’t you really worried that this might affect you?" Knowing Cheng Hao’s plan, Gu Qing’er was indeed quite shocked. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After all, proposing is no small matter. If too many people find out, it wouldn’t be good for Cheng Hao’s reputation.

"Since you asked, I will certainly make sure this is done beautifully!" Cheng Hao said with a smile.

"I didn’t expect the Urban Village to have such a significant effect. Rest assured, as long as you do well, I won’t renege on my promise. Actually, I want you to ask Shen Siwen whether the rumors about Han Xue are related to her?" Gu Qing’er said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao couldn’t help but frown; the Han Xue issue was causing quite a stir in Jiang City, indeed negatively impacting the reputation of Han Xue and Su Changfeng.

It was at this moment that he truly understood why Gu Qing’er was doing this.

"Okay, isn’t it just extracting information? Don’t worry, tonight I’ll ask what you want to know." Cheng Hao said.

Putting down the phone, Cheng Hao seriously contemplated the matter: if rumors detrimental to Han Xue were discovered, what would be the consequences? Presumably, Shen Siwen is well aware.

Given this, extracting information from her shouldn’t be easy. He was thinking too simply — a proposal would not be enough to make Shen Siwen fully trust him.

Returning home, Cheng Shi made some arrangements in secret. He needed Shen Siwen to understand that they were on the same boat, and even in the same camp. He needed to reveal his dislike towards Su Changfeng.

Preparing a doll with Su Changfeng’s name written on it, Cheng Hao already had a plan. Everything was ready except for the crucial element. Very soon, a drama was about to unfold.

"You’re back early today. Could it be that you’re out of money again?" Upon seeing Cheng Hao return, Mr. Cheng couldn’t resist a smirk. He didn’t understand how he ended up with such a son, aimless all day long. He doubted whether Cheng Hao could sustain the family’s enterprise.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Cheng hurriedly winked at Cheng Hao, signaling him not to provoke Mr. Cheng and not to immediately ask for money upon returning home.

"Dad, don’t worry, going forward I probably won’t need to ask you for money. I can make money too!" Cheng Hao said with great satisfaction.

Mr. Cheng smirked, replied irritably: "You making money? What a joke. I dare not rely on you; just try not to cause trouble."

"Dad, don’t be skeptical. Your son has really encountered something good, but everything hinges on tonight. Oh, by the way, I’ll give you a heads-up; I’m planning to bring a woman home tonight, but I need you to help me act out a scene." Cheng Hao said.

"A woman?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cheng was the first to get excited. She has always known her son lacks commitment, and long hoped for a stable daughter-in-law, so she could have a chance to hold a grandson!

"What woman? I didn’t expect any girl from a respectable family to take a fancy to you?" Mr. Cheng was evidently somewhat skeptical, yet internally hopeful.

"Shen Siwen, from the former Shen Family, have you heard of them?" Cheng Hao said.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cheng’s expression changed abruptly. Although she usually mingled in different circles than Shen Siwen, she had heard plenty about Shen Siwen.

It was said that after the Shen family declined, she floated around like a butterfly, always courting men, her reputation sullied. She absolutely refused to allow Cheng Hao to bring such a woman home!

"Cheng Hao, need I say more about what kind of woman Shen Siwen is? You’re getting more and more outrageous now. I will never allow such a woman in our Cheng Family!" Mrs. Cheng adamantly declared.

As for Mr. Cheng, he was even more agitated; he knew a friend who had previously tangled with Shen Siwen. If this matter was revealed, where would the Cheng Family’s dignity be?

"Cheng Hao, before, no matter how you messed around, I didn’t care. But this matter, don’t even think about it. If you dare proceed, you must leave the Cheng Family." Mr. Cheng glared at Cheng Hao irritably, feeling his temples throbbing.

"Don’t be so worked up; I haven’t finished speaking yet. I may enjoy playing around occasionally, but I wouldn’t set my sights on someone like Shen Siwen. What kind of person do you think your son is? Rest assured; I won’t be with her."

"Actually, this is something Gu Qing’er wants me to do, so I’m just assisting with an act, that’s all. Have you heard the rumors about Han Xue recently? Gu Qing’er suspects this matter is related to Shen Siwen, hence wants me to probe a bit." Cheng Hao explained.

Regarding the rumors about Han Xue, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng naturally knew. The issue has been very heated lately, with Gu Qing’er being Su Changfeng’s sister, her intervening in the investigation made sense.

However, Shen Siwen’s reputation was too tarnished; even to help Gu Qing’er, did it need to go this far?

"You foolish boy, whatever she wants you to do, you’ll do it? What’s the benefit for you? It’ll just cause you trouble." Mr. Cheng glared at his son, displeased.

"Dad, Gu Qing’er said that if I succeeded in this thing, she would let us take part in the Urban Village project. Do you now think I made a wrong decision?" Cheng Hao asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Cheng immediately stood up, even Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Hao in disbelief.

Urban Village!

Mr. Cheng walked straight up to Cheng Hao, his complexion slightly reddened, evidently due to overwhelming excitement.
