The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4588

Liu Manqiong felt a strange calm wash over him when he saw Charlie Wade. All his complaints and frustrations vanished in that moment.

When Charlie apologized to him, Liu felt a bit ashamed. He realized that Charlie had come so far to help Chen Zhaozhong, while his own father was willing to sacrifice Chen for his pride.

In that situation, it was easy to see who was right and who was wrong.

Charlie, who disliked owing people favors, felt relieved when Liu spoke up. He said, “Miss Manqiong, since this situation is behind us, let’s move forward and start fresh.”

“Okay,” Liu Manqiong replied, nodding. He remembered that Charlie had mentioned the snack street to his father earlier, and asked curiously, “Mr. Ye, why did you bring up the snack street with my father? Does he have other plans?”

“Yes,” Charlie replied. “Mr. Liu wants to redevelop that area and turn it into a commercial center.”

Liu Manqiong was surprised. “Did he tell you that?”

“Yes,” Charlie confirmed. “He was really excited when he talked about it. I think he’s almost made up his mind. I encouraged him to consider changing the snack street. In the end, it’ll be your choice whether you want to stay or go.”

Liu looked into Charlie’s warm eyes and asked softly, “Why did you do this?”

Charlie replied casually, “The snack street holds special meaning for you. You should keep it for that reason. Plus, your dad doesn’t need the money. Even if the land value increases, tearing it down to develop it isn’t necessary.”

Charlie Wade sighed and said, “You should understand how rich people think. They don’t worry about money; they just love making it. If I don’t talk to him, he might really tear this place down. Once it’s gone, it will be impossible to get back the memories tied to it.”

Liu Manqiong felt grateful and looked at Charlie. “Thank you,” she said softly.

Charlie smiled slightly. “You’re welcome. I understand your feelings. After my parents died, I often visited the old house where we lived. Sometimes, I would go to a construction site far away and move bricks. I would ride my bike there after work. If that place got demolished, it would be really hard for me to accept.”

Liu Manqiong was surprised. “Mr. Ye, you actually moved bricks at a construction site?!”

Charlie nodded. “Yes. After I graduated from high school at 18, I worked at different construction sites for six years, doing civil engineering and decoration work.”

Liu Manqiong was shocked and confused. “But you come from such a wealthy family! Your grandfather and ancestors are extremely rich. My father says they rank among the top three in the world. Why would you choose to work at a construction site after high school?”

Charlie replied calmly, “Their money is theirs. I told you before, my parents passed away when I was eight. I grew up in an orphanage from then until I graduated. After that, I started working at the construction site to support myself.”

When Liu Manqiong heard this, she…

She nodded slightly and said quietly, “When I was angry with you, I thought you were lying about everything. But now that I look back, it seems like you were telling the truth, even if it was hard for you to say it directly. You shared only part of the story, but you didn’t deceive me.”

After that, Liu Manqiong turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “By the way, how long have you been working at the construction site?”

“Four years,” Charlie Wade replied. “I started when I was eighteen and worked until I was twenty-two.”
