20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3486 Shaking Bear Two

When Zhao Chang'an returned to the city, he drove to the Shancheng Hotel and found that Yu Chaofei had already arrived and was chatting enthusiastically with Zou Xiaojun. Zou Xiaojun had appointed Yu Chaofei as the deputy general manager of the yet-to-be-established passenger transport company. Yu Chaofei, along with Ke Yaqing and Liang Lian, discussed the great undertaking they were about to create.

The rest of the people mostly went out shopping. Today, most shopping malls, supermarkets and clothing stores are open for business, but they will close early at five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

Wen Ye returned to Wenjia Village and will not come over until tonight. Zhao Chang'an, Zou Xiaojun, and Yu Chaofei chatted for a while. Looking at Ke Yaqing and her daughter sitting together, they were truly a pair of stunningly beautiful sisters, a feast for the eyes.

However, Zou Xiaojun was completely oblivious to their beauty, which made Zhao Chang'an very curious. That day, Zou Xiaojun blocked Liang Lian's way home from school like an idiot and asked her to go to the park to play on the weekend. With his current indifferent attitude, what was the point of asking her to go to the park to play?

Could it be that the time his father, Zou Huanan, whipped him with a belt back then left him with psychological trauma?

As for Zou Xiaojun ignoring Ke Yaqing's beauty, that's easy to understand. After all, there are only a few precocious lunatics like Xiao Zijie.

In the eyes of most psychologically normal young people, even the most beautiful older women are just old aunties, and they're not very interesting.

Yu Chaofei was even more hilarious. At this moment, his eyes were filled with admiration and expectation for Zou Xiaojun, who was bragging. It seemed that his eyes could not hold anything else, which made Zhao Chang'an's scalp tingle.

Clearly, Yu Chaofei is a very ambitious young man. In the heart of such a passionate young man, beauty is nothing but a pile of stinking dog shit. Only a decadent person who has lost his ideals and pursuits would indulge in bad hobbies such as women, fishing, bead gambling, etc.

As for why Zhao Chang'an has this hobby, it's simply because deep down, there's the soul of a man in his forties. In this man's eyes, Ke Yaqing is still a beautiful, fair-skinned girl who can be manipulated.

After staying at the hotel for a while, Zhao Chang'an drove back to the villa. He was leaving the mountain city tomorrow, and the villa needed to be tidied up a bit.

The original plan was to have these people stay in villas, which would create a more homely and festive atmosphere for the New Year. However, Zhao Chang'an clearly underestimated the laziness of this group of people. After checking into the hotel, none of them wanted to return to the villa community.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the residential area, Zhao Chang'an parked it next to the gate, got out, and went to the villa entrance.

Upon seeing Zhao Chang'an, the two Chinese rural dogs tied up at the door to guard the gate excitedly wagged their tails and greeted him affectionately.

This is the difference between a large wolfhound and a country dog. The large wolfhound is afraid of the scent on Zhao Chang'an, while the country dog, although it also smells the scent, knows that Zhao Chang'an is one of its own, so it is not afraid and even feels a bit excited, like a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

Zhao Chang'an glanced at the row of newly built storefronts next to him. The two storefronts that Zhong Yuanqiang had rented were all closed, but all of them had door couplets posted, indicating that they were rented out.

Zhao Chang'an saw that the small door was also locked and was about to find the key to open it when he saw Shang Ling come out from the inner gatehouse. When she saw that it was Zhao Chang'an who had returned, she immediately showed a face full of joy.

“I’m going to school tomorrow, and there won’t be anyone to watch the house for my dad after I start school, so this morning the two of them went to visit my uncle’s family.”

Shang Ling poured Zhao Chang'an a cup of tea and explained to him, "I've never gone with my uncle before. At the end of last year, my cousin wanted to join the army, but he hadn't even graduated from junior high school, so he wasn't eligible. This was the first time in many years that my uncle came to my dad for help. My dad found out that a computer school diploma was equivalent to a high school or vocational school diploma, so he sent my cousin to a computer school for a month of intensive study. He got his diploma, and the school's tuition and room and board were all free. All my dad had to do was take a picture with my cousin, holding the diploma and a trophy, which said 'Father and brother of Zhong Lianwei, Vice President of OneNano International and Director of Network Management and Construction.'"

Shang Ling laughed as she spoke: "My cousin successfully joined the army, so my uncle's family started visiting my family again."

Seeing Shang Ling wearing jeans, her waist and hip curves outlined, Zhao Chang'an couldn't resist touching her. If he wasn't afraid of someone passing by, he would have already pulled her into his arms and been fondling this beautiful girl.

“There are a lot of relatives visiting today. Uncle Xiong, Sister Sun, Uncle Li, and Sister Ai have a lot of relatives. There are still some inside who haven’t left. Uncle Huang also has six or seven adults and children from his hometown. Although they all have keys, sometimes they don’t see them out or wait for their relatives at the door.” Seeing the flames in Zhao Chang’an’s eyes, Shang Ling felt both shy and sweet. But it was broad daylight, and she was really afraid of affecting her Chang’an brother’s reputation in the eyes of outsiders.

"So, what time do you usually stop interfering at night?"

Zhao Chang'an.

“My parents usually don’t go to bed until after 1 a.m., and they rarely come home that late, except for Uncle Xiong. When he comes home, I have to open the door for him because he’s so drunk he can’t even hold the key properly. Everyone else is fine.”

Zhao Chang'an paused and frowned. Xiong Er had shamelessly insisted on buying the house inside, and Zhao Chang'an really didn't want to be neighbors with such a person, but since he bought it from the Rose Group, he couldn't interfere or refuse.

"So you're staying up this late tonight too?"

"No, I'm wondering when Uncle Xiong will be back. His family went out this morning, and I don't know if they'll be back this afternoon."

"What else?"

"Everything else is fine. Uncle Li Yongzhang had a lot of social engagements this time, so he came back late. But he's quit drinking now, so even if he comes back late, he just quietly opens the door and doesn't bother anyone. Everything else is fine too. He opens the door himself, and they rarely come back after 11 p.m.."

“I’ll call Xiong Er and call him back.”

Zhao Chang'an took out his phone and searched for a while, but couldn't find Xiong Er's phone number: "Do you have his phone number?"

"Have."

Shang Ling walked to the window, took out a small notebook, opened it, found the address, and handed it to Zhao Chang'an. Her slender, fair fingers pointed to the phone number that read "General Manager Xiong".

The next one is 'Mrs. Bear'.

Zhao Chang'an couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

He dialed the number, and it was answered after only two rings.

At this moment, Xiong Er was sitting at a table drinking with a group of his wife's elders and peers. He was a top-notch guest at his wife's family's side.

The table was laden with hearty dishes, the cigarettes were premium brands, and the liquor was the currently popular "drunkard's liquor."

Xiong Er, who was boasting excitedly, heard his phone ring. He had been looking forward to showing off at his wife's parents' house, but when he saw the caller ID 'Zhao Chang'an' and a phone number he could recite from memory, he instantly sobered up and broke out in a cold sweat.
