Jian Yan and He Xiu spent the trip in France eating-eating-eating. Meanwhile, He Chen's plot became exposed back at home.

He Jing Long had dealt with only his construction company for the past several years, and so only in the regular corporation meetings would he learn about the situations of Starlight General Merchandise and Starlight Park. Yet this time, such a large issue arose, as someone beside him promptly reported.

He returned home enraged, dragging He Chen from bed. "You're still in the mood to sleep? Let me ask you, is the Samuel incident your doing?"

He Chen eyed him with sleepy eyes, a cold smile gracing his lips. "What Sam-el you saying? Who's that?"

Seeing his unremorseful appearance, the anger in He Jing Long's heart intensified. "Then let me speak bluntly. Was it you who leaked Starlight General Merchandise's plans to Graceful?"

He Chen raised a hand to rub his head, silent. He Jing Long took his silence as agreement. "He Chen, what were you actually thinking? Even if you don't like your elder brother, Starlight General Merchandise is one of our family businesses. You went as far as to help an outsider?"

He Chen sneered, raising his gaze to ask him instead, "Then how do you know that He Xiu, as far as I'm concerned, is an outsider to me?"

He Jing Long was dumbstruck.

"Furthermore, Starlight General Merchandise might be your and He Xiu's business, but it has nothing to do with me."

"What are you saying? Starlight General Merchandise is under the banner of He Zhi Corporation. Don't forget your surname is He!"

"Then give Starlight General Merchandise to me!"

He Jing Long pursed his lips and calmed himself first before opening his mouth to speak. "You're in charge of Starlight Park. He Xiu is in charge of Starlight General Merchandise. What's bad about this?"

"Of course it's no good! Everyone knows that Starlight General Merchandise's yearly turnover far exceeds Starlight Park. Starlight General Merchandise can be found in every major city in the country. Do you have the ability to open Starlight Parks all over the country?!"

He Jing Long once again stifled the fury in his heart. Exhaling, he replied, "Starlight Park is an investment your mother and I made together. In a few years, the government will vigorously expand there. Its future prospects are limitless."

"That's still not as good as Starlight General Merchandise!"

He Jing Long narrowed his eyes. "He Chen, you are 27 years old this year, not 7. Can you not be so childish? Your elder brother's belongings are always excellent, but yours just isn't good? If I let He Xiu be in charge of Starlight Park today, would you also think Starlight Park is better?"

He Chen thinned his lips but couldn't refute his words. Finally, he simply sneered and glared at He Jing Long as he said, "Hasn't the incident with Samuel been settled already? Is it still worth you furiously running over to scold me? You still say you aren't biased, heh."

He Jing Long puckered his brows and stated, "The issue being settled proves He Xiu's capability; it doesn't mean that you can write off the fact that you created this incident. You're going to stay home today to reflect upon yourself!"

He Jing Long left with quick steps, a pa ringing out as the door closed. He Chen kicked the table in front of him and threw his pillow at the door.

He Chen shut himself inside the mansion and pondered over his mistakes for one day before Zhao Ying Fang could no longer bear it and went straight to He Jing Long's company to find him. He Jing Long had just come out when he saw a furious Zhao Ying Fang storm over. He beckoned to the people, allowing them to leave first.
