Movie/TV series: Starting with Ode to Joy, I opened my own private kitchen.

When she saw the last part, Li Na's face instantly turned cold. She finally understood why Su Chang had lost his temper so badly, and a surge of anger rose in her heart.

"This is too much..." Fan Shengmei felt a chill run down her spine after reading it. She realized that this matter had really blown up, and her mother had really made a terrible mistake this time.

"Mom, how could you do this!" Fan Shengmei couldn't help but shout at her mother, tears welling up in her eyes. She had originally wanted to wait for Su Chang to calm down before pleading for leniency, but now how could she possibly ask for help? She figured that if Andy and the others found out, they wouldn't help her anyway.

Then the middle-aged policeman led several people to the property management office to retrieve the surveillance video from the elevator. After all, the part where Su Chang was sprayed with water by the naughty child was the cause of the whole incident, and it also revealed the truth of the whole matter.

"Come on, let's go to the station." The middle-aged policeman walked up to Fan's mother and said coldly. After all, because of her mess, his apprentice had been implicated this time, so he was not in a good mood.

When Fan's mother heard that she was to be taken to the police station, she immediately sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum: "I'm not going! I'm not going! You heartless people, you're all bullying an old woman like me! That bastard deserves to die for bullying us, an old woman and a child, and you police officers are only helping him because he's rich and powerful..." She cursed Su Chang and the police at the same time, roaring like a shrew.

Li Na watched all of this coldly, her heart filled with disgust. She took out her phone and silently recorded Fan's mother's behavior, a slight smile playing on her lips, as if she were thinking about something.

"Mom, please don't do this..." Fan Shengmei pleaded with her mother, but her mother wouldn't listen and instead scolded her for being useless.

"Get out of my way! What's the use of all the effort I put into sending you to university if you can't even handle something this simple? Why don't you just die...?"

Fan Shengmei felt extremely wronged, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

The young policeman was already seething with anger. Seeing Fan's mother's arrogance, he immediately pulled out handcuffs from his waistband and sternly warned, "I'm warning you this time. If you don't cooperate, we'll have to use force against you!"

The middle-aged policeman remained silent with a cold expression, his gaze sharp as he stared at Fan's mother. Intimidated by the policeman's threats, Fan's mother dared not argue further and obediently got up and followed them to the police station.

On the way to the police station, Fan Shengmei was filled with worry. She didn't know how this matter would end, nor how to quell Su Chang's anger. Fan's mother, on the other hand, looked unwilling and kept muttering to herself.

······

After leaving, Su Chang felt conflicted. He first dialed Andy's number, his tone tinged with apology: "Andy, I'm sorry, I said I'd ask you to come home for dinner tonight, but things have changed. Why don't you just come to the villa?" Andy readily agreed on the other end of the phone, and Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he hesitated for a moment, but still didn't call Guan Guan. He knew in his heart that Guan Guan was kind-hearted, and if Fan Shengmei pleaded a few more times, Guan Guan might soften and bring Fan Shengmei to him. He didn't want to put Guan Guan in a difficult position, nor did he want Fan Shengmei to bother him.

Finally, Su Chang called Xu Li and invited her to dinner at the villa. He thought to himself, "Since we have to face this anyway, I might as well invite all the women in my harem together so they can get to know each other and avoid future trouble." Xu Li sounded somewhat surprised on the phone, but she still agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Su Chang felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what would happen when these women got together, but for the sake of peace in the harem in the future, he had no choice but to do so.

Chapter 104 Guan Guan's Apology

When Su Chang returned to the villa, he found that only Ninth Sister and Tenth Sister were inside. His face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water. Ninth Sister and Tenth Sister exchanged a glance and saw worry in each other's eyes.

Tenth Sister quickly grabbed Su Chang's arm and said gently, "Brother Su Chang, you don't seem very happy. Did something happen?" Her eyes were full of concern and her face was full of heartache.

Su Chang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing, I just ran into an old woman who disgusts me." His voice revealed a hint of helplessness and disgust.

Jiu Mei walked to Su Chang's side and gently massaged his legs, comforting him, "Brother Wei, don't think about those unhappy things. We will always be with you. Let me massage you." Her eyes were firm and warm, as if telling Su Chang that no matter what happens, they will be by his side.

After saying that, she started massaging Su Chang's shoulders, and Shi Mei, not to be outdone, continued to massage Su Chang's legs.

Feeling the care from the two women, Su Chang's inner turmoil gradually dissipated. He closed his eyes, savoring this moment of peace and comfort. However, the women's gentle touch stirred a ripple within him; his breathing became rapid, and desire began to rise within him.

He opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful Ninth and Tenth Sisters before him, his impulse growing stronger. His eyes gleamed with longing, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Ninth Sister and Tenth Sister seemed to notice Su Chang's change; a blush rose on their faces, and a hint of shyness appeared in their eyes. However, they did not reject Su Chang's gaze; instead, their eyes met his, as if conveying some kind of tacit understanding.

Unable to suppress his desires any longer, Su Chang stood up, took the hands of Ninth Sister and Tenth Sister, and walked into the bedroom. There, they would unfold a passionate and indescribable scene…

That evening, Jiang Lai, Andy, Xu Li, and the ten babies all returned.

As soon as Jiang Lai entered the room, she saw Andy and Xu Li sitting in the living room, and her expression instantly became somewhat complicated. She thought to herself, "It seems that these two women have also been won over by Su Chang." But she quickly composed herself and walked towards them with a smile.

Andy and Xu Li stood up to greet Jiang Lai when she returned. Jiang Lai smiled and replied, "You're here! Is Su Chang back?"

Andy and Xu Li exchanged a glance, and Andy said, "Yes, Su Chang is still upstairs."

Jiang Lai's smile was a little stiff. She thought to herself, "That damn Su Chang is probably up to no good again. Why doesn't he just die in bed?" But she still said, "Let's wait a little while."

At this moment, Su Chang came downstairs, followed by his radiant Ninth Sister and Tenth Sister. Seeing that everyone had returned, he smiled happily.

Jiang Lai looked at Su Chang, feeling somewhat helpless. She wondered, "What is it about this man that makes so many women fall for him?"

Su Chang walked to Jiang Lai's side, gently took her hand, and said, "Lai Lai, you're back. You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Lai shook off Su Chang's hand and said, "No, I'm just a little tired."

Su Chang frowned. He knew Jiang Lai was lying, but he didn't expose her. He turned to Andy and Xu Li and said, "Since you're here today, take this opportunity to get to know everyone. This is Su Fangxiu, my assistant. You can contact her (ccdj) if you need anything in the future."

Su Fangxiu stood up at this moment, bowed and said, "Young mistresses, I am Su Fangxiu, the young master's assistant. You can come to me if you need anything in the future."

"Oh, right, little sister," Su Chang continued as if she had thought of something, "You should get a few more bank cards, put 1 billion in each card, give one card to each of the three young mistresses, and then transfer 1 million each month as pocket money. You should also each take one card for yourselves, and then use it for any expenses you need."

"Yes, young master." Su Fangxiu immediately agreed, and they all carried out Su Chang's orders unconditionally.

"Huh? A billion? And one million a month?" Xu Li exclaimed in surprise upon hearing their conversation.

"Yes, consider this 1 billion as a guarantee for you. As for the 1 million in pocket money, since you've followed me, I won't let you worry about money." Su Chang thought to himself that he had already transmigrated once, so if he were to transmigrate again, wouldn't he have to leave some security for his woman?

Jiang Lai said casually, "I'm really not interested in money. It doesn't matter whether I get it or not."

Andy looked at Su Chang with a firm gaze and said softly, "You have already cured Xiaoming for me. I don't lack money myself. As long as you are by my side, that's enough."

Xu Li looked bewildered, thinking to herself, "Gan Jing and I have been best friends for so many years, do you think I don't know how much money Jiang Haokun has spent on her? Su Chang is too extravagant."

Xu Li suddenly ran to Su Chang's side, hugged him tightly, gave him a quick kiss, and said coquettishly, "Su Chang, you're so good!"

Su Chang shook his head helplessly, gently patted Xu Li's head, and said with a smile, "Alright, stop being so coquettish. I treat you all the same. Consider this money a perk for you as my women. Unless you don't want to be my women anymore, just accept it. Although I can't be devoted to you, I will do my best to meet your needs. If you have any wishes you want to fulfill, you can tell me, and I will help you realize them."

Su Chang thought to herself, "Actually, I still want to find them something to do. Otherwise, how am I supposed to expand my harem if they keep an eye on me every day?"

Jiang Lai didn't care. She thought to herself, "I don't lack anything. It's good enough that I'm helping Su Chang manage his assets."

Xu Li simply lusted after Su Chang's body; as long as she was satisfied, nothing else mattered.

Andy felt calm. She thought, "Now that Xiaoming has been found, he's basically starting to adapt to his new life. Work and stuff don't matter anymore. After I find him a girlfriend and we get married, I won't have anything to worry about."

And so it went, none of the three made any requests. Su Chang shook his head helplessly, feeling quite like a failure. He was so rich, yet he couldn't do anything to help people fulfill their wishes. He thought of Wang Duoyu in "Hello Mr. Billionaire," how many people had he helped fulfill their wishes? Forget it, he didn't believe it himself. After all, none of the women he dated had any wishes that required his help.

While eating, Su Chang's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and shook his head helplessly. It was Guan Juer calling; he knew without a doubt that Fan Shengmei had sent her to plead for him. Su Chang felt a little annoyed, but he answered the phone anyway.

"Brother Su Chang, where are you?" Guan Juer's voice came through, tinged with embarrassment.

"Guan Guan, I'm at home," Su Chang replied, pretending not to know.

Guan Juer said in surprise, "Huh? Brother Su Chang, are you home? I just knocked on your door, why didn't you open it?"

Su Chang knew that Guan Juer had misunderstood and thought she was in Ode to Joy, so she quickly explained, "Guan Guan, I'm not in Ode to Joy, I'm in another house."

Guan Juer breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Su Chang's explanation, thinking to herself, "Thank goodness, Brother Su Chang wasn't deliberately avoiding me." She continued, "Oh, is that so? Then, Brother Su Chang, where are you? Can I come find you?"

Su Chang sighed helplessly, thinking to himself: Guan Juer is still so naive, being used as a pawn by Fan Shengmei. He said directly, "Guan Guan, are you here to plead for Fan Shengmei? Do you know what happened?"

Guan Juer exclaimed in surprise, a little puzzled in her heart: "Brother Su Chang, you know? Sister Fan said that because their naughty child was being unreasonable, you had a small conflict with them, and her mother said some unpleasant things, so you got angry, isn't that right?"

Su Chang sneered, thinking to himself: Fan Shengmei really knows how to talk, turning big problems into small ones and small problems into nothing. He said directly, "Guan Guan, go to your sister Andy's house and find Xiao Ming. Go and watch today's surveillance footage. After you watch it, you have to plead for them. I can give you face."

Su Chang didn't say one more thing: if you plead for them this time, it will be the last time.

Guan Juer listened and said "Oh," and was about to hang up when Fan Shengmei's voice suddenly came from the other end: "Su Chang, could you...?"

Before Fan Shengmei could finish speaking, Guan Juer angrily interrupted her: "Sister Fan, how could you do this?"

Su Chang didn't think much of it and hung up the phone. He thought to himself: Fan Shengmei is really something, still playing mind games at a time like this. Looks like I've been too lenient. He decided to teach their family a lesson they wouldn't forget.

Su Chang frowned, recalling the plot of the original drama, and thought to himself: "The reason why Fan Shengmei's parents brought their nephew here this time is because Fan Shengmei's brother, Fan Shengying, got into trouble and went into hiding. People came to their house to collect debts, so they hid here. If those debt collectors find out Fan Shengmei's address, I wonder what will happen? It sounds quite interesting."

He turned to Su Fangxiu, gave a serious account of Fan Shengmei's family situation, and then said with a playful look in his eyes, "Go and check the information of those debt collectors, and then give them Fan Shengmei's address."

"Yes, young master, I'll take care of it right away." Su Fangxiu nodded without thinking much and left the dining table to make a phone call.

Andy wanted to say something, but when she saw Su Chang's cold gaze, her heart tightened, and she swallowed the words she was about to say. She thought to herself, "After all, Su Chang is my man, and Fan Shengmei is just my neighbor, not even a friend. I know exactly who's closer and who's less."

Chapter 105 Three Women Have No Water to Drink

Su Chang lost his appetite. His face darkened, and he was filled with disgust for Fan Shengmei. He stood up and said to the women, "I'm finished eating. I'm going to exercise." Then he turned and left the table.

Su Chang changed into his swimming trunks and went to the poolside. He jumped into the water and began to swim freely. Before long, all ten twins except Su Fangxiu had changed into their swimsuits and came to swim with him. Jiang Lai and Andy, however, seemed a little reserved, standing at the poolside, looking somewhat hesitant.

Xu Like had no reservations; she went straight back to her room to change into her swimsuit and joined them. Su Chang looked at the women, a slight smile playing on her lips, a warmth spreading through her heart. She knew perfectly well that the girls had come to cheer her up.

He then started playing a chasing game with the women in the pool, frolicking and playing with them as he swam, and of course, he didn't miss out on taking advantage of them.

"Haha, come and catch me!" Su Chang said provocatively with a laugh.

"Don't run away!" the women responded, swimming towards him.

Su Chang darted nimbly through the water, occasionally slowing down to make it easier for the women to catch him. Just as they were about to grab him, he would quickly swim away, inevitably touching places he shouldn't before, eliciting playful complaints from the women.

"Oh, you're so naughty!"

"You just know how to bully us!"

Su Chang listened to the women's complaints, but his heart was filled with joy. He knew that these women were only playing along with him because they liked him. And he, too, enjoyed this feeling of being the center of attention—wasn't this exactly what he wanted to achieve by building a harem?

After playing in the pool for half an hour, the women were panting and clearly unable to swim any further. Looking at their slightly tired appearance, he felt a pang of pity and took the initiative to walk towards the shore.

After getting out of the water, he smiled and said to the women, "You're all tired, right? How about we have a party by the pool?" The women all nodded, their faces showing delight.

At this moment, Jiang Lai and Andy also came over. A hint of expectation appeared in Jiang Lai's eyes. She gently tugged at Andy's sleeve, as if to say, "Let's go over there too, don't be a loner." Andy nodded slightly in agreement.

When Su Chang saw them coming, his smile widened even more. He thought to himself, "It's so much more fun when we all play together. Life is so wonderful."

By the pool, everyone sat together and began sharing their interesting stories.

Looking at them, Su Chang felt very satisfied. She thought that she should organize more gatherings in the future. Once everyone was familiar with each other, it would be easier to get things done later.

That evening, Su Chang returned to his room alone, thinking to himself, "With so many women, it wouldn't be appropriate to go to any of their rooms. I'll just have to see who makes the first move tonight." With that thought, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

However, the deceps won't be coming, since there are still three young mistresses present. For the sake of harmony in Su Chang's harem, they won't cause trouble.

Su Chang had just gotten into bed when his phone beeped. He picked it up and saw it was a message from Guan Juer.

Guan Juer's message essentially said that she reviewed the security footage and then had an argument with Fan Shengmei. She felt indignant on Su Changming's behalf, apologized to him, and blamed herself for pleading for Fan Shengmei without understanding the situation.

When Su Chang saw Guan Juer's message, he smiled with relief, thinking to himself that Guan Juer's heart still leaned towards him.

Su Chang replied, "Guan Guan, you don't need to apologize. You're just too kind, which is why you were taken advantage of. Just be more careful in the future."

After receiving the reply, Guan Juer felt a little more at ease. She replied, "Brother Su Chang, thank you for your understanding. I will pay attention in the future. I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings."

Su Chang continued, "Guan Guan, if you find living in 2202 inconvenient, you can move to the 23rd floor tomorrow. If you want to come live with me, you're welcome anytime."

Su Chang didn't want the debt collectors to harass Guan Juer. She knew very well how shameless Fan Shengmei's family was, and they might even ask Guan Juer for money. As for Qiu Yingying, what did it have to do with her? Besides, she couldn't even support herself, so how could she give Fan Shengmei's family any money to exploit?

Guan Juer hesitated for a moment before replying, "Brother Su Chang, it's not that serious. Staying in 2202 is fine." She was conflicted. On one hand, she didn't want to cause trouble for Su Chang, and on the other hand, she did feel quite awkward meeting Fan Shengmei.

Su Chang seemed to have seen through Guan Juer's thoughts. He made an excuse and said, "I won't be going back to the 23rd floor for a while. Could you go and watch the house for me, and tidy up the room for me when you have time?"
