20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3589

Zhao Chang'an then said to Xue Yunzhu, "Take your ID card with you, and while you're at it, pick up a car and buy a cell phone for Sasha, that will make things easier. Also, buy a computer and get broadband internet at the lobby; these are all necessities."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bao, Xue Yunzhu, and Qiao Shasha's eyes lit up.

In understanding human nature, Zhao Chang'an was comparable to a master. At this moment, Qiao Xiaobao was thinking about the piggy bank. He believed that as long as he had the piggy bank, the money inside would slowly accumulate and reappear.

What Xue Yunzhu lacks most right now is a car. Having a new car would mean that she has escaped the lower class.

As a beautiful, elegant, intellectual, proud, and self-respecting woman, she didn't have to endure the hardships of picking up Sasha and Xiaobao from the wind, sun, and rain. She was also fed up with the lewd looks in the eyes of men when they saw her riding a women's scooter, the kind that seemed to say, "I can have you."

A small car, not necessarily expensive, around 100,000 yuan, can deter most men from having such overconfident thoughts and desires.

For Qiao Shasha, a mobile phone and a computer are what she wants most right now, especially a computer. The same goes for Xue Yunzhu and Qiao Xiaobao.

Seeing that none of the three were interested in staying at home any longer, Zhao Chang'an patted Qiao Shasha's thigh to make her get up: "Go change your clothes, go change your clothes, let's leave now."

After Xue Yunzhu and the others went into the bedroom to change their clothes and shoes, Zhao Chang'an picked up his teacup, took a big gulp of water, and looked down at himself speechlessly.

With a helpless, bitter smile on his face, he thought, "Kids these days are so precocious, sometimes they know more than you do. It's just like Qiao Xiaobao's mentality; that's true innocence."

Zhao Chang'an didn't actually hate Qiao Jianwei. Unlike Xia Wuyue and Qiao Sanqiang, he mainly helped Xia Wenyang with the dirty work of managing assets with Qiu Jinhui, and had no real conflicts or contradictions with his family.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Qiao Jianwei is a good person. He is just as bad as Xia Wuyue and Qiao Sanqiang, only in a different way.

However, at least Xue Yunzhu did not commit any evil deeds, not to mention Qiao Xiaobao, who was just a child, and Qiao Shasha, who was only fifteen years old and just beginning to show her potential.

Regardless of what Xue Yunzhu is thinking now, she is his woman now. Zhao Chang'an doesn't mind doing something that can make the family of three happy and joyful without spending much money or effort.

As I was thinking this, I saw Qiao Shasha walk out of her bedroom. She had long, straight, jet-black hair and was wearing a black stretchy thermal top and black leggings that looked like yoga pants. As expected of someone who had practiced dance since childhood, her figure was very well sculpted.

Holding a long, wide, fitted down jacket in her hand, she casually hung it on the hanger, then walked over to Zhao Chang'an with a grin, plopped down on his lap, and let him hold her while watching TV.

However, her mind wasn't on the TV; she was happily humming "Mice Love Rice," her petite and slender body swaying and bobbing to the rhythm.

"Your and Xiaobao's school is a joint primary and junior high school, with many students from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other areas—"

Seeing that Qiao Shasha's mind wasn't on the TV, Zhao Chang'an decided to tell her something.

There were some things he also wanted to say to Xue Yunzhu, but he felt that this little girl was now going through a rebellious phase and that things weren't quite right between her and Xue Yunzhu. He guessed that she was angry that Xue Yunzhu didn't act like a parent and had taken the 10,000 yuan he had given her for her birthday to pay for it.

If Xue Yunzhu were to tell her, it might offend her, so she took this opportunity to speak to her. "Grandma Jiao,"

Zhao Chang'an felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Qiao Shasha to call Jiao Fengyue, who was only in her early forties, "Grandma." After all, Qiao Shasha was already fifteen years old, and next year she would be a sixteen-year-old girl, and in two more years she would be an eighteen-year-old young woman.

Moreover, Xue Yunzhu is already thirty-five or thirty-six years old this year, which is only seven or eight years younger than Jiao Fengyue. Although Xue Yunzhu looks like Jiao Fengyue's daughter, it would be more appropriate for them to call each other sisters based on their actual ages.

According to seniority, she and Xue Yunzhu were of the same generation, while Qiao Shasha was a junior. If Jiao Fengyue called her sister, she should call Xue Yunzhu aunt and Qiao Shasha sister.

Zhao Chang'an was also a little confused, but Qiao Shasha calling Jiao Fengyue "Auntie" should be correct.

So Zhao Chang'an corrected, "Aunt Jiao's villa, the one I live in, and the one your aunt lives in are all in the same community. Aunt Jiao has a very good friend, who is my sworn sister, named Li Juan. The three villas where I, Wen Ye, and Li Juan live are enclosed in one big courtyard. Actually, it must be quite boring for her to live alone in such a big villa all day."

“Brother Chang’an, what you mean is that as long as Sister Li Juan agrees and invites us to stay, we can stay too.”

Qiao Shasha was clearly a very smart girl. She turned her body 180 degrees on Zhao Chang'an's lap and looked at him face to face, asking him a question.

"Poor, almost, that's the meaning."

Zhao Chang'an felt that Li Juan must be quite bored and lonely living there alone. Although Xue Yunzhu was a little foolish, she was a very good cook, especially her milk-flavored steamed buns, which were soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet. In addition to milk powder, she also used her own fermented rice wine, which was absolutely delicious.

Qiao Shasha is a very smart and beautiful girl, and Qiao Xiaobao is even more innocent and naive. Zhao Chang'an felt that once they got to know each other better, Li Juan would probably invite them to stay at the villa.

Even if they don't stay long-term, Xue Yunzhu and her family can come back on weekends, holidays, and during winter and summer vacations. However, during the school year, they can stay there instead of rushing to school every morning.

"Giggle!"

Qiao Shasha laughed happily, and couldn't help but snuggle into Zhao Chang'an's arms and kiss him: "Brother Chang'an, you're the best!"

"Alright, come down now. Tell me what kind of phone you want."

Zhao Chang'an gestured for Qiao Shasha to come down, but she twisted and turned and refused to get down.

The girl who danced was flexible and supple, and her beautiful eyes were squinted with a clear, confident, and proud smile, which made Zhao Chang'an realize that this little girl actually knew everything she should and shouldn't know.

This is understandable, of course. Boys and girls who dance tend to mature a few years earlier than their peers, practicing all day in revealing outfits, especially in summer, where their slender figures are even more apparent. And in terms of psychological age—

After thinking about it, Zhao Chang'an quickly said to Qiao Shasha, "I'm going to the restroom so I don't have to look for a toilet while we're shopping later."
