20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3519 Single Color
Zhao Chang'an hung up the phone, still not thinking about how to persuade Shan Cai to go home, as it wasn't appropriate for him to go inside with her.

There's a logical contradiction here: either he rushed to Shan Qiang's house without calling anyone beforehand, or he contacted Shan Cai and knew she was home alone, but still rushed to her house.

Both of these actions are inappropriate, because Zhao Chang'an knew perfectly well that Shan Cai was at home, and that Shan Qiang was busy with other matters and might not be home at all.

As for the fact that Zhao Chang'an called Yan Na first, and then Jiang Xian called Shan Cai, if Shan Qiang knew the truth, both of them could be laid off tomorrow.

Therefore, Zhao Chang'an really couldn't go into Shan Qiang's house in advance, because she had a beautiful daughter who was as beautiful as a flower, and for the past two years, Shan Qiang had been wary of Zhao Chang'an and prevented him from contacting Shan Cai.

Otherwise, Zhao Chang'an wouldn't have so pointlessly allowed Shan Cai to exchange her shares in Cretaceous for shares in Xizi Education. Unfortunately, Zhao Chang'an's tact did not earn Shan Qiang's approval in the business; instead, she thought it was time to continue testing the limits and relentlessly press him.

Before he could figure it out, less than a minute later, he saw Shan Cai drive up in her red Audi TT.

When it comes to choosing a personal car, Shan Cai and Shan Qiang have very similar tastes, both liking red sports cars. However, Shan Qiang has a more flamboyant personality and drives a BMW or Ferrari worth millions, while Shan Cai chose an Audi that cost seven or eight hundred thousand yuan.

The car was parked on the roadside on the bridge where Zhao Chang'an was standing. However, Shan Cai did not open the car window, and the lights inside the car were not on. Under the cover of the tinted side window, Zhao Chang'an could not see the scene inside clearly. He could only see the fluorescent lights on the car's dashboard and Shan Cai's pretty face, which was not looking at him. She was obviously angry.

Zhao Chang'an opened the passenger door, got in with a smile, and said, "There's absolutely no need for that. I was thinking of sneaking into Zhengzhou's grand banquet at night; it's actually quite interesting."

Dan Cai was wearing only a black wool sweater, jeans, and khaki fleece-lined sneakers. Her long hair, which almost reached her buttocks, was tied up with a black hair tie, making her look neat, simple, and efficient.

"seat belt."

Dan Cai reminded her with a cold expression.

"It's just a few steps, no need. And honestly, I think I'll pass by your place for now; it's been years since I've strolled around Zhengzhou at night. Oh, it's snowing, the snow scene must be beautiful, staying home is such a waste—"

"Boom~"

The red Audi TT hadn't been turned off, but suddenly accelerated violently, the huge push-back feeling interrupting Zhao Chang'an's words.

The car shot off like an arrow, reaching 100 km/h within three seconds of starting, causing Zhao Chang'an to shout in alarm, "Slow down! This is the city!"

Fortunately, it was a straight four-lane main road, and the distance was long enough. After Shan Cai accelerated and the car aggressively sped forward for nearly 100 meters, she immediately began to gently apply the brakes to slow down.

When we reached the bend, the speed had already dropped to below 60 km/h, which was quite normal.

The car turned north, but instead of making a 180-degree turn as Zhao Chang'an had expected, it drove back to Shan Cai's residential area from the left lane.

Zhao Chang'an was a little stunned, unsure whether Shan Cai wanted to go for a drive, take a long detour, and then go back.

However, after the car passed several intersections, Shan Cai did not turn left but continued to drive north. Zhao Chang'an felt that she might be going to take a very long detour before returning.

At this moment, under the streetlights overhead, you can see that the branches and leaves of the roadside trees are no longer swaying as before, and have become quiet, with a light dusting of snow beginning to drift in the sky.

"I don't know how heavy the snow will be. We plan to return to Mingzhu on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. If the snow is heavy, it will be a problem."

Zhao Chang'an was just making conversation. Even if it snows all night and all day tomorrow, with the airport's advanced snow removal capabilities, the runway should be cleared and dried out by tomorrow night.

The takeoffs and landings of planes the day after tomorrow are unlikely to be affected, let alone the takeoffs of planes the day after that. However, Shan Cai remained silent and focused on driving.

Zhao Chang'an felt that Shan Cai was being a bit childish. He had only considered that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together, so he hadn't called her to come out and pick her up. Why was she getting so angry?

It should be noted that the two were just good friends, and since he transferred some of Xizi's shares to Shan Cai, they had had very little contact in the past six months. There was absolutely no need for him to be so angry.

However, Zhao Chang'an was always very tolerant of Shan Cai, because if Shan Cai hadn't taken him in in his previous life, he didn't know how difficult his life would have been in Zhengzhou.

This difficulty refers not only to economic hardship, but also to psychological hardship.

The car drove north in silence. It was the winter New Year, and there were far fewer cars on the road. Although Shan Cai slowed down a bit, the roads were clear, and it only took about ten minutes to reach the outskirts of the city.

The car headed east, merged onto the national highway, and continued north.

Without streetlights, the bright moon in the sky was obscured by southward-moving clouds, and the open fields on both sides of the national highway were pitch black, with only the lights of the houses on.

Zhao Chang'an noticed that the snow powder inside the headlights was denser than before, so Shan Cai turned on the windshield wipers to clear the snow.

"I just want to see the little Jinshui River. You're not going to take me to see the Yellow River, which is frozen solid for miles, are you?"

Zhao Chang'an joked again, but he felt uneasy. He didn't understand what was wrong with Shan Cai, and where they were going.

He said to Shan Cai, "This snow might get heavier and heavier. If it really snows heavily, we might have to spend the night in the car."

"Then we'll spend the night in the car."

Dan Cai said coldly, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "I'm driving, so shut up!"

Zhao Chang'an knew that Shan Cai was joking with him, but he still felt that things were a bit troublesome. He didn't know what Shan Cai wanted to do, or at least where she wanted to drive the car before turning back.

But since Shan Cai wouldn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.

The car traveled north for another twenty kilometers, and just as it was about to reach the Yellow River Bridge, it turned left onto a familiar road.

Zhao Chang'an knew that this highway led to a scenic area by the river, where there was a hotel.

However, the hotel will definitely be closed for the holidays at this time, and will not reopen until March or April.

He frowned. The scenic area was closed for the holiday and wouldn't open until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest. He couldn't get in anyway, so why go all this way?
However, the snow was still falling in powder form at this time, so it wouldn't affect driving much when we got back. After all, it was a national highway and a main road in the city, and the exhaust fumes from the many vehicles would melt the falling powder and prevent it from accumulating on the road.

So let's just not talk about her.

The car drove forward for three or four miles and arrived at the entrance of the scenic area. To Zhao Chang'an's surprise, the gate of the scenic area was open and the guardhouse next to it was lit up.

Upon seeing a car approaching, a young man and woman emerged from the guardhouse.
