20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3499 Good Sisters

Ai Qiuqiu didn't shower for long before coming out wearing a pink thin nightgown and using a hairdryer to dry her hair.

The room was heated all the time, and Sui Xuemeng was so hot that she took off her puffy down jacket and sat on the sofa in a daze, wearing only a thermal undershirt.

"Go wash up, you're all dusty and smelly."

Ai Qiuqiu tilted her head to let her long, black hair fall to one side, holding a hairdryer in one hand and a comb in the other, drying her hair on a low setting, and said to Sui Xuemeng, "I'm hungry, you wash up and we'll go eat."

As she raised her hand, it became clear that she wasn't wearing a bra under her pajamas, and the outline was very distinct.

When Ai Qiuqiu saw Sui Xuemeng stand up, unconsciously holding her phone and the down jacket on the sofa in her hands as she headed to the bathroom, she stopped the hairdryer with a smile: "Why are you taking the jacket into the bathroom? If it gets wet, you won't have a suitable change. I told you I'd buy you one, but you wouldn't budge. Is it your mother's scent?"

These words made Sui Xuemeng's beautiful eyes redden, and tears streamed down her face.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. You already said that your aunt said that your uncle and aunt's problem isn't a big deal. Once things are clarified and investigated, we can go home, right?"

Ai Qiuqiu snatched the down jacket from Sui Xuemeng's hand with a little force and threw it onto the sofa.

The moment her down jacket was taken away, Sui Xuemeng trembled in shock, her face turned pale, and she stared blankly at Ai Qiuqiu.

Without saying a word, Ai Qiuqiu snatched the phone from her hand: "Don't stare at your phone all the time. If you keep staring at it, your parents will come out safe and sound, but you'll be the one who's driven crazy. I'll call you if you get a call. Besides, what are the chances of that happening?"

Pushing Sui Xuemeng into the bathroom, he said, "I'll get you your underwear and pajamas. You can put them on and go out to eat after they've dried."

Sui Xuemeng went into the bathroom, and Ai Qiuqiu took a small pair of underwear and a light pink nightgown from the large travel bag the two of them had brought back. She walked to the bathroom door and handed them to Ai Qiuqiu through the crack in the door.

Looking inside, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Sui Xuemeng exclaimed in surprise, frantically locking the bathroom door from the inside to prevent this shameless woman from taking the opportunity to rush in and cause trouble.

Ai Qiuqiu giggled and turned on the TV, which was showing The Deer and the Cauldron. Instead of touching the remote, Ai Qiuqiu took the calendar, notebook, and pen from the TV cabinet, walked to the sofa, and picked up the down jacket that Sui Xuemeng had worn during the day and kept by her pillow at night.

It was easy to feel a small roll of paper through the fabric of the down jacket at the hem. The paper was quite elastic. Ai Qiuqiu used two fingers to measure its length, which was about the width of a fixed deposit certificate.

With a cold smile, she glanced at the inside of the down jacket and saw a barely noticeable tear that had been sewn up tightly with needle and thread. The deposit slip inside was also secured with a thread wrapped around it.

This is what Sui Xuemeng meant by "returning what shouldn't have been taken." But even the naive Sui Xuemeng knew that once this was taken out, it would be tantamount to confirming the matter.

She put the coat back in its place, then picked up Sui Xuemeng's phone, which was on the sofa, opened the call log, and saw the landline number. The area code wasn't from Zhengzhou, but from another region. As for which region it was, Ai Qiuqiu couldn't figure it out for a moment.

She quickly wrote down the phone number on the back of the calendar notebook with a ballpoint pen, removed Sui Xuemeng's phone from the call log, put it back on the sofa, tore off the calendar page with the phone number, folded it, and put it in her bag.

Her eyes held a sorrow for lost friendship and a mockery of how friendship was worthless in the face of family. As a follower, Ai Qiuqiu had worked tirelessly for Zhao Chang'an over the past few years, from when he was just a moderately famous campus pop singer to his current level of fame and achievement.

During that time, we experienced countless twists and turns, open and covert attacks, numerous concessions, counterattacks, hard work, and tireless efforts.

Ai Qiuqiu knew even better how much Zhao Chang'an cherished his reputation and image. In some people's eyes, Zhao Chang'an was a lecherous man with many women, but in Ai Qiuqiu's view, Zhao Chang'an could be said to have been quite restrained, making a great effort to control his desires and instincts.

His talent, wealth, power, handsome looks, surging masculinity, gentleness, and strength were all irresistible to women.

During the years they dated, Ai Qiuqiu often wore a nightgown without a bra and would deliberately tease Zhao Chang'an in the living room when he was drunk and sleeping at her house. She would sit on his lap with her legs spread open, scratching and scratching him, and shaking her soft, willow-like body.

Zhao Chang'an, wearing the ultra-thin silk pajamas and ultra-thin ice silk men's underwear that she bought for him, laughed and said, "Don't be silly."

During wartime, warhorses galloped along muddy roads after heavy rains, leaving deep hoofprints.

During the dry winter season, people digging for lotus roots wear long rain boots and tread step by step through the mud in the pond, trying to dig out the snow-white lotus roots, a gift from nature, buried beneath the thick silt.

He could remain calm and composed even with a woman in his arms, and if he really couldn't handle it, he would close his eyes and rest for a while, letting Ai Qiuqiu do whatever she wanted.

Then Ai Qiuqiu felt much more relaxed and went to sleep resentfully, sleeping soundly until dawn. Zhao Chang'an, being a gentleman, never secretly pushed open her half-closed bedroom door in the dead of night in the dark.

Ai Qiuqiu knew that Zhao Chang'an was under a lot of pressure. He no longer gambled or drank, and now he smoked much less. He didn't fish, play with beads, or grow flowers and plants anymore. So he needed to release the pressure in his heart in a proper way.

Moreover, he is highly capable and tireless, which shows that he is already very disciplined and restrained.

However, her good friend Sui Xuemeng not only treated her and Liu Yihui as fools and tools, but also tried every means to get close to Zhao Chang'an, wanting to use him as a tool.

This is the bottom line that Ai Qiuqiu simply cannot tolerate!

"In the early 1980s, when mobile phones first entered the Chinese market, they cost about 20,000 yuan each. At that time, a worker's salary was only 40 yuan. If you calculate it simply like that, an ordinary worker would only be able to afford one mobile phone if he worked his whole life without eating or drinking. Moreover, there was no supply and demand. At its peak, a mobile phone was sold for more than 50,000 yuan. By the early 1990s, the price of mobile phones had dropped to 2,000 to 6,000 or 7,000 yuan each. It would take an ordinary person about two or three years to save up enough money to buy one, and that doesn't even include the expensive phone call rates."

The group sat in one of the most upscale hotels in the area. Wen Ye had Chu Guangying book a private room in advance and brought out a bottle of aged wine that had been specially sourced from Taohuahu Winery. They mixed it with a bottle of new Taohuahu wine.

Fan Fanghong and Chu Guangying are drinking milk.

"The first real breakthrough was about ten years later, in March of the year before last, when Panda launched the GM518, priced at 999 yuan. That year, Panda shipped more than 70 units of this model. If it weren't for the emergence of the Heart Whisper series, it would have been the second-ranked new force in domestic mobile phones after Wave Guide."

"On the one hand, the Chinese people have become wealthier, and on the other hand, there are more signal base stations with wider coverage, from cities to rural areas. In addition, the price of mobile phones and other electronic products has dropped, which has led to the total number of mobile phone users in China exceeding 100 million last year."
