20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3197 Zhao Changan’s Decision

The car drove south in the night, entered the highway, bypassed Hecheng, and it would take nearly an hour to reach the community where Sui Changhong lived.

It was a bit late, but Sui Changhong's secretary Li Xingyun had just contacted Zhao Changan by phone and said that he had to attend a dinner party and would not be home until eight o'clock. In other words, this dinner was almost delayed by Zhao Changan and Sui Changhong and turned into a midnight snack.

Zhao Changan naturally had no problem with this, but he estimated that Dang Huaifeng and Dang Chenying would have to complain while going hungry.

Thinking about the scene just now at the roadside village entrance of Li Siya's house, Zhao Changan was secretly grateful to Yue Lu. If she hadn't accompanied him this time, he would definitely be embarrassed and in trouble.

Because standing at the intersection of the village were not only Li Siya's siblings, but also Li Siya's parents, her cousin and his wife, her cousin's parents, and a large group of twenty or thirty relatives and friends, all gathered at the intersection wanting to see the legendary figure Zhao Changan.

Yue Lu also explained loudly to Li Shiya's parents that she and Zhao Xiaoxiao came here on behalf of the coffee shop to give gifts. When they were visiting the ancient town, they heard that Zhao Changan was also in the ancient town, so they called him. It turned out that Zhao Changan had to go to Lin'an for something, so he sent them here.

No matter whether others believe it or not, including Li Changsuo who boasted in front of these people before that he and Zhao Changan were like brothers, no one believed Li Changsuo's bragging. If he didn't have a sister who was extremely beautiful and famous far and wide, how would Zhao Changan recognize him?

However, this kind of thing can only be discussed in private and cannot be made public. After all, this is still an orthodox society and we have to maintain our dignity.

Yue Lu’s words explained very well why Zhao Changan appeared.

Because of Yue Lu and Li Shiya, the coffee shop where Zhao Xiaoxiao works part-time is Zhao Changan's business. This happened by chance today.

When Wu Yue and Zheng Chi come to attend the wedding in this northern Zhejiang township tomorrow, Zhao Changan's appearance will have even more reason.

"Three of you, why don't you just stop eating out and go to our office near West Lake for a meal and sit in the observation building to enjoy the night view of the lake."

Since he had brought the three of them to Lin'an, Zhao Changan couldn't just leave them alone in the city, so he suggested, "There's no need to rush to your house, Li Shiya, at night. You should call your family and let them know. Otherwise, they have so many relatives coming over, and it would be too much trouble to arrange accommodation for us. Let's get up early tomorrow morning. It's only an hour's journey, and there are fewer people and cars on the road in the morning, so cars run faster. It's estimated that we can arrive in 40 minutes. The office has enough guest rooms, and you three can sleep in one room each tonight."

When Zhao Xiaoxiao heard that each person would sleep in a room, she felt her face getting hot and her heart beating faster as she sat in the back row. She yawned deliberately and said, "I'm tired after wandering around the ancient town all day. We might as well do as Zhao Changan said, eat early and go to bed early, and leave before dawn tomorrow morning to pick up the bride. Li Shiya, do you have a red envelope?"

"We really don't know about this, but my sister-in-law and her parents are smart people, so they should have it."

Li Siya was very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law who kept forcing her brother to call Zhao Changan and asked Zhao Changan to attend the wedding.

If you say how good the relationship between Zhao Changan and his brother is, even a fool would not believe it. In fact, everyone, including Li Siya, knows clearly what Zhao Changan is doing.

After my brother and sister-in-law discussed it, they let my parents live on the first floor of the new building, my brother and sister-in-law lived on the second floor, and I lived on the third floor.

There is nothing wrong with this arrangement. After all, it is inconvenient for my parents to climb the stairs as they are old, and the third floor is too high for my sister-in-law to live in when she gets pregnant. Moreover, my brother did not build an insulation layer on the roof of the third floor at the suggestion of my sister-in-law, saying that it is easy for insects to crawl on clothes when drying them in the yard, and putting them on the roof to dry can prevent insects, so the third floor will definitely be stuffy in the summer.

I work part-time at a cafe now, and basically I only come back to stay for two nights occasionally, and I don't stay for half a month in a year, so it is reasonable to live on the third floor. But the problem is, I don't know how my sister-in-law convinced my parents that the third floor is a large living room, two bedrooms, one large and one small, and a bathroom where you can take a shower and go to the toilet.

The larger bedroom was given to Zhao Changan, and the much smaller one was given to himself. The standard of Zhao Changan's large bedroom was exactly the same as the decoration and furniture of his brother and sister-in-law's new house on the second floor, with a dressing table, a Simmons double bed, and the same was true for the living room, which was equipped with a refrigerator, a color TV, air conditioning, a leather sofa and a toffee chair.

As for my bedroom, I didn't buy anything. I just moved the bed, cabinets and tables from the old house into the house and put them in there. The bed is still a small bed made by my father.

Moreover, the bathroom is equipped with a glass door. The glass is frosted in the middle half, and the top and bottom are very transparent glass. There is no interlocking door installed. There are no door locks in the two bedrooms either. There is only a security door installed on the outside stairwell leading to the second floor.

The meaning of this is simply telling Zhao Changan that you can do whatever you want upstairs, we can't hear it downstairs, and even if we hear it, we can't get in and go up to the third floor.

Li Siya knew with a bit of sadness that her sister-in-law had successfully brainwashed her brother and parents, making them obey her every word. She wished she could become one of the women of the man driving the car as soon as possible so that her brother and sister-in-law could live a prosperous and glorious life!

However, Li Siya knew even more sadly that she was no longer able to struggle.

My parents and elder brother have been so good to me since I was a child. Whenever there is something delicious at home, I will be the first one to eat it, regardless of whether I am willing or not, and then my parents and eldest brother will share it equally.

Just like what my sister-in-law said, don’t add anything to your small bedroom, because the best furniture in the house is already placed in your bedroom.

Starting from junior high school, because there were some little hooligans harassing me, my father and older brother would take me to and from school rain or shine for the three years of junior high school. When I was in high school, my father and brother would still take me to and from school during holidays and school starts.

The tuition, living expenses, clothes and supplies for the three years of high school were all saved penny by penny by the family, just in the hope that she could get into university and make a name for herself.

Li Shiya had always secretly vowed that she would make a name for herself after graduating from university, so that her family could build a small house that her parents and brother would envy others, and have a refrigerator, a color TV, an air conditioner, a washing machine and even a car. She would also let her brother marry a virtuous and beautiful wife, and let her parents live a good life with good food and clothes, and be able to hold their heads high and speak loudly in the village.

But now all of Li Siya's dreams have come true, and have exceeded her dreams. The only thing that has not been achieved is that her sister-in-law is beautiful, but she does not look virtuous at all.

Before she even entered the house, she became the head of the family. Her brother and parents obeyed her every word. Her brother treated her like a treasure and spoiled her like a queen.

If her brother and Liu Shan had not become husband and wife, Li Siya would rather her brother find someone with whom he could live a truly stable life, someone who would not have so many ideas and be so strong.

However, the fact is that Liu Shan has become his sister-in-law, so he can only accept it and has to compromise with a choice that he is not actually satisfied with, which is to continue such an unclear relationship with Zhao Changan.
