20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3816 Yue Jiaxue

"What if the waitress who slept in the same bed with Zhou Zongsheng was pregnant, and already more than four months along, her pregnancy would be showing. The crime scene investigation showed that Zhou was naked and driven outside, and later, presumably, he tried to resist and was stabbed from behind. The waitress was on the bed and subjected to violence. The purpose seems quite clear: to cause her to miscarry and defile her. The perpetrator's plan might not have been this extreme—although several hundred yuan from the money box and the waitress's gold necklace were taken, this doesn't confirm it was for money. Whether it was to divert the investigation's attention, we can't determine now. Even the investigators who came think it's unlikely, but it's still a lead. If we don't take it seriously and it turns out to be true, and the perpetrator escapes, that would be a real problem."

After making that call, Zhao Chang'an was filled with emotion.

From an ethical and moral standpoint, Xiao Zhou already has a wife and daughters, yet he still had an affair with a waitress. And Xiao Liu, knowing that Xiao Zhou had a family, still slept with him, which is indeed immoral and unacceptable.

The reason why Zhou Ji's business is so prosperous is at least 30% because of Hu Qian's beauty. Many older men want to catch a glimpse of the beautiful woman every morning.

He has such a beautiful wife, yet he still has the mind to fool around with other women, and women who are far less attractive than Hu Qian!
He doesn't know how many men dream of his beautiful wife day and night, longing for her with all their hearts.

And it's also really pitiful. Xiao Zhou, this big boy who's grown up but still doesn't understand anything, finally stood up for himself last night for the sake of responsibility and a man's dignity.

The price is a bit high.

Zhao Chang'an felt that Hu Qian and her daughter could no longer stay at the Zhou family's house, even though he thought the possibility of the Hu family being behind it was extremely slim. He figured the methods were still Gunzi's specialty; many thugs in the mountain city knew Gunzi wasn't very good, but he always carried around a sandalwood peg—

However, before the matter is fully investigated, it would be best to let Hu Qian and her daughter quietly leave the Zhou family and take refuge temporarily.

So he spoke with Jin Shibao and asked him to bring a few people to the Zhou family's residential area to quietly pick up Hu Qian and her daughter and temporarily arrange for them to stay at his place in the townhouse. He also told Hu Qian about this, and Hu Qian said that she hadn't called home to tell her about the argument with Xiao Zhou or that Xiao Zhou had brought up divorce. Her family was still happily preparing to deliver sheep and make money today, so how could such a thing be possible?

However, that's one thing, but just because Hu Qian returned to the Zhou family yesterday doesn't mean that Xiao Zhou won't go to the mutton soup shop to sleep. Given the petty and unreasonable nature of the Zhou couple, they would hate her even if it wasn't Hu's family who did it.

Rather than feeling miserable staying at the Zhou family's house, it's better to live a happy life in a townhouse.

Although Hu Qian was still terrified on the phone, Zhao Chang'an could tell that her tone was filled with immense joy and delight. If the Zhou couple had seen the uncontrollable smile in her eyes, those two old geezers would probably have gone crazy.

Back then, Zhao Chang'an's father, Zhao Shubin, treated the Zhou family this way, yet the Zhou family continued to bleed him dry. When his father lost power, they immediately changed their tune and severed all ties of gratitude and relationship.

In this life, thanks to his own efforts, his father was reinstated to his original position and then promoted two more ranks, becoming a genuine division-level cadre in the mountain city. At just over forty years old, he was considered young and promising in the city, and the Zhou family immediately started to fawn over him again.

Therefore, Zhao Chang'an felt that his relationship with Hu Qian was a way for the Zhou family to repay their kindness, which was quite reasonable.

That evening, the director of the airport area was going to host a banquet for Zhao Chang'an and Ericsson's team. Although the wafer fab was not planned to be located in the airport area, the mobile phone factory was still the largest enterprise in terms of design output and scale in the airport area.

Although they failed to catch the giant elephant, this one, which had already made its home, needed to be taken even more seriously.

Ke Yaqing's apartment complex is not far from Zheng Wenzheng's. Zhao Chang'an was too lazy to book a room again that night, so he called Zheng Chi and asked him to come pick him up that night and take him to take a shower, get a back scrub, and wash his feet.

"Old Zhao, it's fine to pick you up, and it's normal to take a bath and scrub your back, but I'm about to have a girlfriend, so it seems a bit inappropriate for me to go to a foot bath."

Zheng Chi was showing off over there. "Just tell me if you want to wash or not. If you don't want to, you can wait for me in the lobby."

Sitting in the taxi, Zhao Chang'an thought disdainfully to himself, "We're brothers, we know each other perfectly well, yet you're still pretending to be virtuous gentlemen."

"You forced me to wash it."

"Get lost, you big duck egg!"

"By the way, Le Zening contacted me today and said he wants to intern at our studio."

"Is he crazy? A geology major coming to a studio to use a computer? Is he planning to become a miner?"

"I heard that his girlfriend, Yue Jiaxue, who is in the liberal arts class, went to Lin'an for an internship at a clothing factory. I heard that the older man who came to recruit at the end of the year was pursuing her like crazy, and Yue Jiaxue broke up with Le Zening."

"Want to heal your wounds?"

"I guess that's it. Playing games can indeed heal injuries. I have experience with that. Last time I got beaten up and my face was bruised and swollen, but it didn't hurt when I played games. It hurt again as soon as I stopped playing."

"What you said makes so much sense!"

Zhao Chang'an said, "You make the decision yourself. You don't need to tell me about such a trivial matter."

"No, I mean, Lao Le actually has a good eye for women. Yue Jiaxue had a boyish haircut in high school and wore baggy clothes, so I didn't think she was that pretty. But when she got to college, I didn't see her again until the Zhengzhou class reunion before the New Year. She's really grown up and become so beautiful! Lao Zhao, do you think we were blind back then?"

"That's because you're blind. Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed."

"With so many women in your life, how can you draw your sword so quickly?"

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes before hanging up.

The fact that Le Zening and Yue Jiaxue broke up after graduation had also happened in Zhao Chang'an's previous life, but he knew far less about it than he did this time.

At that time, Lao Chang came to Zhengzhou for a visit, and his classmates from Zhengzhou treated him to a meal. Zhao Chang'an, Liu Yihui, Zheng Chi, Fan Chao, Cen Yueling, and other senior and junior students from several other years, totaling more than a dozen people.

While drinking, Lao Chang said that among his students in Zhengzhou, Liu Cui and Le Zening were the most promising, and he had put the most effort into these two students in their class.

As a result, one of them is still in Zhengzhou, but never shows up at class reunions. The other, because of a woman who changed her heart, gave up such a good opportunity to work in the Department of Natural Resources and went to the south to make big money, but has disappeared without a trace.

It was only then that Zhao Chang'an and the others learned that Le Zening had a relative who held a powerful position in the natural resources department, something Lao Chang had already known back in high school.
