The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4487

Liu Manqiong blinked and waved her hand proudly, saying, “This whole street is mine!”

“Wow, how generous!” Charlie Wade exclaimed.

Liu Manqiong smiled and replied, “To keep people and things, you have to pay a price.”

Just then, several street vendors saw her and greeted her respectfully, calling out, “Miss Manqiong!”

Liu Manqiong warmly acknowledged each of them, even remembering their names.

After chatting with the vendors, she turned to Charlie Wade and explained, “Hong Kong Island’s economy has been booming lately. Many places like this one have been sold off for redevelopment. When the leases ended, the rents skyrocketed. A lot of vendors couldn’t afford it and had to leave. So, I went to my dad and asked him to buy this street for me, no matter what. I promised him that if he did, I would let him marry that woman.”

With a smile, Liu Manqiong spread her arms and said, “So, I got what I wanted and became the owner of this street! All the stalls and shops on both sides belong to me! Isn’t that amazing?”

“Very amazing,” Charlie Wade replied with a smile. “So, you brought these vendors back after buying the street, right?”

“Yes,” Liu Manqiong nodded. “I invited each of them back and promised that I wouldn’t raise their rent as long as they stayed. Plus, I’ll cover all the costs for utilities, cleaning, and maintenance!” She continued, “With prices going up lately, the rent they pay each year is…”

Liu Manqiong sighed and explained, “The maintenance costs here aren’t enough, so my father has to help pay some of it every year.”

Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “It sounds like your dad cares about you.”

Liu Manqiong nodded. “He does care, but it’s because he has been trying to earn my forgiveness for so long.”

Her expression turned serious as she continued, “However, when my mother passed away, it was incredibly painful. I remember everything, from her illness to her last moments, and I can never forgive him for that.”

Seeing her eyes well up with tears, Charlie Wade gently asked, “By the way, Miss Manqiong, Uncle Nan mentioned that you’ve never brought any boys here. Why did you bring me today? Does this mean you plan to invite me over for dinner again?”

Liu Manqiong frowned. “Don’t get any ideas! I didn’t want to bring you here!”

Charlie quickly reminded her, “But you said at the dinner table that you wanted to take me to try some snacks from Hong Kong Island tonight.”

Liu Manqiong replied, “I did say that, but I didn’t actually mean it. I thought you wouldn’t have the courage to agree!”

Then she added, “Besides, there are so many snack streets on Hong Kong Island. Now that you’ve agreed, I’ll just pick any one of them, and I can easily avoid you!”

Charlie was confused. “So why are we here now?”

Liu Manqiong hesitated, her face turning red from nervousness or embarrassment.

Finally, she stubbornly explained, “I brought you here because I was worried about the Zhong family…”

“If they come for revenge, I have plenty of friends here who can help protect you,” Liu Manqiong said.

Charlie Wade pouted, “I don’t believe it. Do you really think I need a mask?”

Liu Manqiong shot him an annoyed look. “Come on, Charlie! Aren’t you going to Lan Kwai Fong tonight? I can’t wait to see you take charge there!”

Charlie smiled and asked, “You really want to see that?”

“Yes, I do!” Liu Manqiong replied, her voice filled with urgency. “But I’m worried you might not be able to handle it alone. I might have to find someone to help you!”

Charlie snapped his fingers and raised his eyebrows. “Since you want to see it, I’ll make sure to put on a show!”
