20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3590

"Humph!"

Qiao Shasha got down unhappily, walked to the master bedroom where Xue Yunzhu and Qiao Xiaobao lived, and knocked on the door: "Hurry up, are you going to the beauty pageant? You're a mother of two now, who wants to look at an old woman on the street?"

"You disrespectful little brat, just wait till I get my hands on you!"

Xue Yunzhu, who was in the bedroom, was quite angry at those words.

Zhao Chang'an and Xue Yunzhu, a family of three, didn't finish their shopping until dark.

Of course, I didn't have the energy to cook at home, so I found a relatively upscale-looking hotel near where I bought the car and booked a private room.

The clothes Zhao Chang'an bought this time were all low-key, not revealing, elegant and appropriate, and did not accentuate the female figure. Qiao Shasha's clothes were the same.

When Zhao Chang'an bought these clothes for Qiao Shasha, Xue Yunzhu was worried that she wouldn't like them. Of course, she knew her daughter well and knew that she liked to wear clothes that made her look mature and showed off her figure. However, she saw that her daughter seemed very happy. She even put on a loose-fitting down jacket and didn't take it off. Xue Yunzhu felt that her daughter had really changed a lot as she grew up and she couldn't understand it.

“I’m young, I look good in anything. Brother Chang’an doesn’t want others to see me, so why am I unhappy? Unlike you, it’s like you’re not confident unless you show off your figure.”

While using the restroom, Qiao Shasha's smiling words, in response to Xue Yunzhu's questions, made Xue Yunzhu so angry that her teeth itched.

"This papaya stewed with snow frog is quite nourishing and good for your complexion, you two should eat more. Aunt Jiao's background is a bit complicated, she's a pitiful person, so her personality and perspective are inevitably a bit extreme. Tomorrow, Sister Yunzhu, try to wear light makeup, or better yet, no makeup at all."

Zhao Chang'an still hoped that Xue Yunzhu's family could get along with Jiao Fengyue and then help her gradually improve her health.

Jiao Fengyue, who is 1.6 meters tall, weighs less than 80 kilograms. She is pale and thin. Because of severe gastritis and enteritis, they dare not even give her anything that is slightly nourishing.

The best solution now is to have someone eat with her, help her change her eating habits, and gradually soften the emotional burden that has been weighing on her heart for many years.

Li Juan is definitely not suitable. To some extent, she is still a chivalrous woman who trains hard in the coldest and hottest winters and practices her "backing mountain skill" every day. She simply doesn't have the care and patience for this.

The reason she chose that villa was because there was an old camphor tree that had been transplanted in the yard. Li Juan had been waiting for the camphor tree to truly take root so that she wouldn't have to go to the park to lean on it every day.

As for Zheng Xi, to be honest, even if Zhao Chang'an was willing to let her go through all that trouble with Jiao Fengyue, Zheng Wenzheng and Yuan Qianru wouldn't be willing to do so.

Moreover, Zheng Xi didn't easily understand Jiao Fengyue's words, while Li Juan only gradually began to understand them after spending a long time together.

Zhao Chang'an ordered a bottle of wine, Xue Yunzhu was going to drive later, and Qiao Xiaobao, being a child, drank juice. Zhao Chang'an shared the bottle of wine with Qiao Shasha. He was sure he wouldn't feel dizzy or drunk after finishing it, but Qiao Shasha's face was flushed, and her long legs seemed a little unsteady as she walked.

Zhao Chang'an bought Xue Yunzhu a Citroën Picasso. The teardrop-shaped design is quite popular with women. The total cost was less than 140,000 yuan, which can be considered a middle-class car.

After dinner, Xue Yunzhu drove, and Qiao Xiaobao sat happily in the passenger seat, holding a large box containing Optimus Prime.

Zhao Chang'an and Qiao Shasha sat in the back. They had bought a lot of things on this shopping trip, and the trunk was already full of things. The back seats were also piled with clothes, shoes, cosmetics, school bags, milk, food, snacks, dried fruit, and a large ceramic piggy bank.

Zhao Chang'an had no choice but to let Qiao Shasha sit in his lap while he sat close to the car door.

The correct seating arrangement should have been Zhao Chang'an in the passenger seat, which would have made it easier for him to give directions to Xue Yunzhu. However, Qiao Shasha refused to let her younger brother sit in her lap, whining that she was still a child and drunk, and couldn't possibly carry him.

In Qiao Xiaobao's eyes, his sister was no different from the villainous Tyrant, who often beat him up, which he naturally didn't want.

Zhao Chang'an gently wrapped his arms around Qiao Shasha's slender waist, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap. He said to Xue Yunzhu, "Sister Yunzhu, if you don't know the way, just let me know. But it's not even seven o'clock yet, so if you're not in a hurry, you can take your time and practice driving."

“During our stay in Mingzhu, Sasha and I have been taking the bus around a lot. We’ve basically been to all the well-known places. It’s not a big problem. If we really get lost, I’ll call you.”

Xue Yunzhu was filled with joy. After more than two years, she had finally become a car owner again, no longer the poor person with two children struggling at the bottom of society. How could she not be happy? If she hadn't been thinking about going home to have a good talk with Zhao Chang'an, she would have been willing to drive all night and see the prosperity of Mingzhu.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chang'an said nothing more, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep, but he was actually thinking about things.

Today is the eleventh day of the first lunar month. It has been confirmed that we will take a chartered flight to Xingcheng the day after tomorrow morning. In theory, Shan Qiang's offer letter regarding the transfer of the Rose Group should have arrived by now, but there has been no movement so far, which makes Zhao Chang'an feel a little confused.

If Shan Qiang decides to continue holding these shares, Zhao Chang'an will naturally welcome it with open arms. He doesn't actually have much desire to control this cultural tourism group. It's more because Mai Guixue, Lang Ruping, and Liu Mingxiong are just too ruthless. They are completely short-sighted and leave a mess behind.

What if they make money and then leave, leaving behind a mess?
If Shan Qiang is willing to continue holding shares, it would definitely be a good thing for the cultural tourism group, and it would also reduce Zhao Chang'an's energy expenditure.

However, judging from Jiang Xian's words on the phone that day, selling all the shares of the Rose Group was Shan Qiang's final decision. Given that, it had been two or three days since then and there had been no further developments, which was clearly not in line with Shan Qiang's character.

After all, compared to the size of Green Garden Group, Rose Group is just a small territory. There is no need to be so careful and consider it repeatedly. Just quote the price, and if Zhao Chang'an thinks it is appropriate, he can nod and agree.

"I don't know what's gotten into them this time. If there's still no movement by tomorrow, who knows how long this will drag on, and what kind of trouble might arise?"

As Zhao Chang'an was thinking, he felt Qiao Shasha, who was sitting in his lap, think he was asleep and start to secretly cause trouble and make small movements.
