Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 867 One is a younger brother's wife, and the other is also a younger brother's wife.

Li Luo got out of Ying Zhicheng's car and watched Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng carrying their luggage toward the next room, so he also took out his own luggage.

After greeting her aunts and the others along the way, Li Luo arrived at her room on the third floor, put down her suitcase, took out her laptop, plugged it in, and set up the keyboard and mouse.

When I went downstairs again, I found a stranger in the living room on the second floor.

No, perhaps it should be said that they are acquaintances.

"Who is this?" Li Luo looked at the buzz-cut man sitting next to her cousin Chen Lu and asked, feigning curiosity.

"Li Luo, you're back?" Chen Lu smiled and stood up when she saw Li Luo come downstairs, introducing him, "This is my boyfriend, Zhao Shuhan."

Then she said to her boyfriend, "I've told you many times, Li Luo, he's my cousin."

"Hello."

Li Luo and Zhao Shuhan extended their hands to each other, smiled and shook hands, thus beginning their initial acquaintance.

However, Li Luo's expression was somewhat strange, even puzzling him.

Because this Zhao Shuhan was his cousin-in-law in his past life.

After being reborn in this life, he had a significant impact on and changed Chen Lu, yet Chen Lu still ended up seeking out the same person.

This is truly astonishing.

After all, in her previous life, Chen Lu graduated and became a bank teller, but she never had any hope of being promoted.

With Li Luo's help in this life, he is now a senior client manager at Chen Lu's bank.

Over the past year, Reignited Culture has received hundreds of millions of yuan, almost all of which went through Chen Lu's bank account.

It can be said that Chen Lu's previous life and this life are completely different.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhao Shuhan is unworthy of his cousin.

After all, Li Luo remembered very clearly that when Zhao Shuhan married Chen Lu in his previous life, he was already a P6 level technical staff member at Alibaba. Later, he was promoted to P7 in his thirties, with an annual salary of one million yuan, which was considered a golden opportunity in Yuhang City.

Later, when Lin Xiuhong was seriously ill, Li Luo also approached Chen Lu and Zhao Shuhan and borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from them. He always cherished this friendship.

Since nothing had changed in this life, Li Luo felt it was pretty good, so she sat down on the sofa and chatted with Zhao Shuhan.

Zhao Shuhan considered himself to be quite qualified. Even though Chen Lu held a high position at the bank, he was still inferior to him, so he was always quite confident.

However, he appeared much more humble when facing Li Luo.

After all, he often heard Chen Lu mention Li Luo, and he had also looked him up online. After learning about his cousin Chen Lu's abilities, even though he was ten years older than Li Luo, he didn't dare to act arrogantly.

"I brought him home for dinner today, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so I'm going home with him." Chen Lu, arm in arm with Zhao Shuhan, teased Li Luo, "You won't see me during the New Year! Did you prepare a red envelope? Give it to me in advance!"

"Sis, you've been out of school for years, and you still have the nerve to ask me for a red envelope?" Li Luo teased with a smile. "It's already pretty good that I, a college student, haven't asked you for one, okay?"

"Hehe." Chen Lu and Li Luo had a good relationship, especially after Li Luo became successful. Chen Lu could still joke with him like this, and Li Luo didn't mind at all. Chen Lu liked his cousin even more.

In Chen Lu's opinion, if it weren't for Li Luo's help, given her previous status as a bank teller after graduation, Zhao Shuhan would most likely not have looked at her.

The fact that she was able to get together with Zhao Shuhan now is clearly inseparable from Li Luo's help.

Li Luo didn't think too much about these things. After all, Chen Lu's husband in her previous life was also Zhao Shuhan, so it obviously had nothing to do with whether or not she had exerted any influence.

It can only be said that Chen Lu herself is quite capable. Her ability to be with Zhao Shuhan in her previous life had little to do with her personal career achievements.

"How long have you been talking?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"It's been about a year and a half," Chen Lu said with a grin. "But last year around Chinese New Year, we had only been talking for a short time, so I didn't tell you."

"So you think it's about time this year?" Li Luo raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You've even gone to meet their parents."

“Yes.” Zhao Shuhan said with a smile, “Lulu and I get along very well. We met each other’s parents during the National Day holiday this year. Now we visit each other during the Spring Festival to meet each other’s relatives and get to know each other in advance.”

"That's great." Li Luo nodded in agreement. "So, you must have some ideas for the wedding by now, right?"

"I plan to wait until National Day this year," Chen Lu said. "That will be a year between my first visit to meet my parents and my first visit. By then, my relatives and friends will all be on holiday, making it easier to invite them to the wedding."

Li Luo nodded and chatted with the couple for a while. Then, two pretty girls came up the stairs outside.

Zhao Shuhan turned his head and was clearly stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Lu to have such a beautiful relative.

Seeing the cute girl in the white down jacket walk over and sit down next to Li Luo, and then another tall girl in a beige down jacket walk over and sit down next to Li Luo as well, Zhao Shuhan couldn't help but ask, "Who are these two...?"

"Cough...they're all from next door...um...relatives." Li Luo coughed twice, giving a vague introduction.

Chen Lu quietly leaned close to Zhao Shuhan's ear and whispered to him, "The one on the left wearing white is called Ying Chanxi. You can just call her Xixi."

"Oh, oh." Zhao Shuhan nodded. "They're your neighbors..."

"What a load of rubbish, a neighbor's relative," Chen Lu said speechlessly. "That's my sister-in-law."

"Huh? Li Luo's girlfriend?" Zhao Shuhan asked in a low voice. "Then why didn't he just say so? And what about the other one?"

"Ahem..." Chen Lu became a little embarrassed as she said this, but still whispered to her boyfriend, "The other one is also my sister-in-law..."

Zhao Shuhan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and it took him a long time to react.

In his memory, Chen Lu seemed to have only mentioned this one cousin to him.

And if this tall girl had someone else as her boyfriend, she wouldn't be sitting so close to Li Luo, would she?
So that means...

"I'm warning you." Before Zhao Shuhan could fully react, Chen Lu gritted her teeth and warned, "If you dare to imitate him, you're dead."

"Cough cough cough..." Zhao Shuhan coughed violently for a while, then waved his hands repeatedly, "How could this be..."

After fully regaining his senses, he immediately turned his head, leaned close to Chen Lu's ear, and whispered, "I definitely only love you."

"Hmph~ You're smart to know what's good for you." Chen Lu smiled sweetly.

While Chen Lu and Li Luo were whispering to each other, Li Luo explained Zhao Shuhan's identity to Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng.

After the two sides got to know each other, Chen Lu simply invited them to sit down at the mahjong table, intending to chat and play mahjong at the same time.

Lin Xiuhong, who had just finished packing her luggage, took the seat of honor without hesitation. Zhao Shuhan was pulled by Chen Lu to sit next to Lin Xiuhong.

Ying Chanxi, a professional sparring partner, immediately sat down on the other side of Lin Xiuhong.

Then Li Xuefeng was also called over by Chen Lu, who let her mother sit in the last seat.

As for Li Luo, Yan Zhusheng, and Chen Lu, they sat aside and watched the battle.

While playing mahjong, Lin Xiuhong asked about Zhao Shuhan's job. Upon learning that he was a high-achieving student working at Alibaba, she immediately became very impressed.

This piqued Ying Chanxi's curiosity, and he asked her some questions about Youku Video.

Because he has been negotiating copyright matters with Tencent Video recently, in order to raise the price, Ying Chanxi also took the opportunity, along with Attorney Tian, ​​to discuss potential cooperation on copyright with iQiyi and Youku Video.

So when I heard "Ali," it immediately dawned on me.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shuhan works in the Alipay and Ant Financial business, which has nothing to do with the video business.

So they chatted for a few minutes and then stopped.

But Zhao Shuhan only realized at this moment that the young girl next to him had actually taken over Li Luo's company and was even fully in charge of such an important sector as copyright business.

It seems that this sister-in-law is not just good-looking.

The woman who manages the family's finances has the air of a principal wife, which inevitably earns Zhao Shuhan's high regard.

Halfway through the afternoon mahjong game, Lin Xiuhong and Li Xuefeng went to the kitchen to cook, so Li Luo and Chen Lu took over. Around 5:30 in the evening, Lin Xiuhong called everyone to dinner.

Li Guoru, Li Xuexian, Chen Hailin and others from next door also rushed over. The younger generation, including Li Dao, Chen Yonglin and Chen Sijia, as well as the youngest generation, Li Xiang, all came over with their elders.

Li Guohong also called over Ying Zhicheng and Grandpa Ying from next door. The elders sat at one table, and the younger generation and women sat at another.

Given Li Luo's current status, it was clear that he couldn't sit at the children's table anymore. Instead, he was urged by his grandfather to sit on the throne next to him and drink with him.

In addition, Grandpa Ying, Li Guohong, Ying Zhicheng, Chen Hailin, Zhao Shuhan, and Li Dao also sat in a circle.

The eldest aunt, Li Xuexian, wanted to send her son, Chen Yonglin, to the men's table, but Chen Yonglin was stubborn and refused to sit there, insisting on eating at the children's table.

After finishing his meal in a flash, he ran back to his room next door to play video games, which made Li Xuexian very angry.

"Don't be so angry." Li Dao chuckled when he saw this. "This kid is very hardworking at the factory. He can basically do a good job on anything you ask him to do. He's very capable."

"My main concern is how he'll find a partner," Li Xuexian said irritably. "And you, why don't you introduce him to someone at the factory? Are you really going to let him spend his whole life playing games?"

"Sigh... I think it's better not to force him to do things against his will," Li Dao said helplessly. "Aunt, you're putting too much pressure on him, which only makes him more unwilling."

The topic of Chan Wing-lun's blind dates is a recurring theme every Lunar New Year.

However, in the previous life, everyone probably had given up hope on Chen Yonglin, so after Li Luo graduated from university, he became the target of her intense pursuit during the Lunar New Year.

But in this life... Li Luo glanced at Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng sitting at the children's table and couldn't help but smile.

At the dinner table, the topic of Chan Wing-lun was only briefly mentioned.

At Chen Lu's table, the conversation turned to Chen Sijia's marriage.

Originally, Chen Lu had suggested that Zhao Shuhan could introduce a few of his colleagues to Chen Sijia.

After all, Chen Sijia had only graduated half a year ago, and her major was computer science. She is currently working in the technology department of Nongfu Spring, which is a pretty good job.

I think I have a lot in common with Zhao Shuhan's colleagues.

Unfortunately, because of the domestic violence her deceased father caused her when she was young, Chen Sijia was very resistant to marriage and kept shaking her head, so Chen Lu didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Li Xuefeng and Li Xuemei chatted about what happened at Lin Xiuhong's card and mahjong parlor. Li Xuexian became interested and said to Li Guoru at the next table, "Xiuhong's card and mahjong parlor is quite interesting. Shall we go and have a look around sometime?"

“Sure,” Li Guoru replied.

He has now fully entered retirement life, and most of the time he likes to visit the Writers' Association, chat with friends, go fishing, and write calligraphy, living a very leisurely life.

"Speaking of which," Li Guoru said with a smile, glancing at Li Luo as he thought of the Writers' Association, "I heard you became the vice chairman of the municipal online writers' association this year, and a director of the provincial online writers' association. You're really getting more and more impressive."

"It's just a nominal position," Li Luo responded modestly. "The Online Writers Association values ​​results, so this arrangement is normal. In essence, it's just a nominal title."

After chatting about online novels for a while, Li Guohong changed the subject and asked Li Dao, "My hot pot restaurant is thinking of adding a delivery service, similar to mala tang hot pot delivery."

"I remember your factory has a production line that specializes in making takeout boxes, right?"

"Let's discuss it later. I'll hand over my takeout box business to you."

“Sure,” Li Dao said with a smile. “Our factory is doing quite well right now. If you have any needs in this area, just let me know anytime, and I’ll come to the factory to take a look.”

"Okay, then it's settled."

Just then, Ying Chanxi at the next table couldn't help but turn to Li Dao and ask, "Brother Li Dao, can I ask if your factory can make anything besides takeout boxes?"

"Huh?" Li Dao was taken aback by Ying Chanxi's sudden question, paused for a moment, and then asked in return, "What do you want to do?"

"That's right." Ying Chanxi put down her chopsticks, turned around and said, "Li Luo's books are doing very well now, and there's a demand for related merchandise."

"I think the quality of the peripherals produced by the factory that Wenyue Group found is a bit poor. I thought that since we are family, the quality can be guaranteed, so I asked about it."

"They're just some very simple things, like badges, bookmarks, character illustration cards, and the like."

"I see..." Li Dao fell into deep thought for a moment. "Just saying that doesn't give me any guarantee. I'm not sure if the production line can do it."

"Logically speaking, making a mold for these things shouldn't be too difficult, but it's best to ask Yonglin first, as he's an expert in this area."

"In addition, it also depends on how large the quantity you need, otherwise the cost cannot be reduced."

“Mhm.” Ying Chanxi nodded repeatedly. “I just suddenly thought of it. We can discuss the specifics later.”

"OK, no problem."

Having connections in your family makes all the difference; many troublesome issues can be resolved with just a few words from a relative.

Over the course of the meal, quite a few business deals were finalized.

After dinner, the women continued playing mahjong around the table, while the men sat on the sofa, playing cards and chatting.

Midway through, Yan Zhusheng said she was sleepy, so she got up and went back to the next room to take a shower and go to sleep.

About half an hour later, Li Luo received a WeChat message.

[Yan Zhusheng]: (Photo)
Li Luo glanced at the photo Yan Zhusheng sent, and his eyes flickered slightly.

The above is a photo that Yan Zhusheng just took. The content is very simple: Yan Zhusheng is lying on the bed, with one long leg half exposed outside the quilt. The half-covered and half-revealed look is particularly alluring.

But the key point is that in the background of the photo, there is a laptop computer that Li Luo is very familiar with on the desk next to it.

Therefore, it is quite obvious where Yan Zhusheng is lying at this moment.

"I still have to write tonight, so please excuse me." After looking at the photo, Li Luo understood and got up to leave. After saying goodbye to everyone, he turned and went upstairs.

The others, including Ying Chanxi, didn't think much of it. After all, it was normal for Li Luo to write, so there was nothing to doubt.

However, the moment Li Luo went upstairs and opened the door, a figure rushed into Li Luo's arms.

"So that's why you said you were sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep halfway through. So you were planning something naughty!" Li Luo hugged Yan Zhusheng and made her sit on the desk, teasing her with a smile. "Couldn't you have waited until tonight?"

“My sister will be in the way tonight,” Yan Zhusheng said, blinking. “Right now, she’s playing mahjong with Aunt Lin, so she won’t be coming up.”

"You can't even stand it for a day?"

"Stop talking," Yan Zhusheng said, staring into Li Luo's eyes. "I want it, give it to me now."

……

late at night.

After finishing his mahjong game, Ying Chanxi returned to the next room, took a shower, and suddenly thought of Yan Zhusheng.

She went to bed so early today, could it be that she didn't go to Li Luo's place after falling asleep so early?
Thinking this, Ying Chanxi's face lit up with joy. Looking at the tightly closed door of Yan Zhusheng's room, she quietly walked over and peeked through a crack in the door.

The next second, her expression changed, and she let out a groan.

It didn't take long.

Ying Chanxi then slipped down the rooftop to the next room and arrived at Li Luo's room without even knocking before pushing the door open.

At this moment, Li Luo was sitting at his desk, typing away.

Yan Zhusheng was lying in bed when she saw Ying Chanxi come over. She yawned slightly and said to her older sister, "I'll give Li Luo to you tonight, sister. I'm exhausted. Don't disturb me when I'm sleeping."

Ying Chanxi was speechless: "...When did you get here?"

"When you were playing mahjong," Yan Zhusheng winked at Ying Chanxi and honestly confessed, "Li Luo bullied me for a long time."
