Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

[Shi Xia's affection level +1, current affection level 87.]

Zhao Hongan took Cheng Xiaoshi out for a big meal, which cost 1328 yuan.

Zhao Hong'an wasn't a miser; with a billion yuan lying coldly in his bank account, he wanted to treat himself well, and at the same time, he didn't let Cheng Xiaoshi's efforts go to waste.

He was getting old, and after running around all morning, he felt tired after lunch, so he asked Cheng Xiaoshi to take him back to his residence to rest.

I had just lain down when I received a system notification.

Zhao Hongan was taken aback by the inexplicable increase in his favorability rating.

He just stayed at home and did nothing.

How did Shi Xia's favorability rating suddenly increase by one point?

However, this is a good thing.

Favorability rating 87... Just one step away from 90.

so happy.

Even while Zhao Hong'an was taking a nap, he couldn't help but smile.

He didn't go out again in the afternoon or evening.

I've been running around a lot lately because of the divorce, and I'm completely exhausted.

Now that I have Brother Tongzi with me, I feel at ease. After resting for half a day, I feel much more energetic.

In the evening, when the employees returned from get off work, the courtyard became lively.

Shi Xia rode her electric bike with the LV bag in the basket in front of her. She still couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about what happened that morning.

The first thing she did upon entering the room was to look at the window of Zhao Hong'an's room.

This Mr. Zhao is such a kind person.

He is kind-hearted, has a strong sense of justice, is generous, and takes good care of the younger generation...

Meeting Grandpa Zhao was truly her good fortune.

"Hey buddy, did you hear? This morning, Shi Xia and her friends went to MixC Mall and were swindled by a fat, big-eared woman. They ran into Grandpa Zhao, who helped them out."

As soon as Shi Xia entered the gate, many people in the courtyard looked over.

"I said, what kind of network are you using? Do you even need to ask? This has spread to several company group chats. How could I not have heard about it?"

"This old man Zhao is truly a good man. He's always ready to help when something happens."

The events of this morning have spread throughout Yang Qian's company group after a day of discussion, with everyone talking about it both online and offline.

"I saw a video that Yang Ruixi and the others shared in the group chat. When that fat woman heard that she was going to be investigated, she was so scared that her legs went weak and she beat that brat on the spot."

"Haha. Serves him right. Evil people deserve their just deserts."

"Thanks to Grandpa Zhao. Otherwise, Shi Xia and the others would have been the ones who suffered."

"Shi Xia has turned misfortune into blessing. I heard that when Grandpa Zhao saw that Shi Xia's bag had been torn by the fat woman, he casually gave her a bag. That bag was one that Grandpa Zhao had just bought at LV, and it still had its packaging. Yang Ruixi and the others went to the boutique on their way to ask about it. The bag is genuine, and it costs more than 50,000 yuan. There are also purchase limits and you have to buy other items to get it... Ordinary people can't buy it without paying an extra 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."

"LV's latest seasonal items! Did you know Grandpa Zhao is that rich?"

"More than that. At the time, Cheng Xiaoshi was following behind Grandpa Zhao, carrying a bunch of LV handbags, all of which she had just bought at the boutique."

"You've all missed the point. The point is that Grandpa Zhao said he sees Shi Xia is kind-hearted and is willing to help her. He told her that if she ever has any difficulties in the future, she can come to him. He also said that he's old and doesn't know how many days he has left. He has no children and only some cold money in his bank account, so he's not very useful and is willing to help out this young person..."

"Wow! I'm so envious! How can someone have such a lucky old man! Shi Xia is so lucky!"

"I can be kind too. I have my own difficulties. I want to go see Grandpa Zhao too."

"Get out of here. It's fate that we met Shi Xia, don't you understand? If you try to curry favor with her, you'll only annoy her and get kicked out."

"..."

These people did not deliberately avoid it.

One of Shi Xia's best friends, who was listening nearby, laughed and said, "Shi Xia, you've become a celebrity in our company now."

Another close friend said, "Shi Xia, Grandpa Zhao said he's willing to help you out. If I were you, I'd bring some things to thank Grandpa Zhao, let him know you're grateful, warm his heart, and completely cling to his coattails."

Shi Xia was tempted, but then felt a little shy: "Is this a good idea? Maybe the old man is just being polite. If I go overboard, wouldn't it seem like I'm being too greedy?"

Her best friend was exasperated: "Oh my god! Shi Xia, don't be silly. People would kill for something like this. It's practically handed to you, and you're still being coy?"

Another close friend said, "That's right, Shixia. Uncle Zhao is rich and generous... He helped you, it would be so inconsiderate of you not to thank him."

"If you feel embarrassed, we'll go with you. Let's keep in touch with Grandpa Zhao often in the future, so he won't feel lonely during the last period of his life."

The first best friend nodded repeatedly.

Old Zhao is so rich, yet he doesn't have many days left to live, has no children, and doesn't value money...

He's such a treasure of an old man!

Shi Xia eats meat, and they would be happy if they could have a sip of soup along with her.

Moreover, once everyone gets to know the old man better, it's uncertain who he'll favor more and who he'll be more willing to help out.

Shi Xia was persuaded.

"I really should thank Uncle Zhao for helping me so much."

Shi Xia made up her mind.

Grandpa Zhao is so old, and he was kicked out of his house by his remarried wife and adopted son. He's all alone, which is really pitiful. She should visit him often and comfort him more often.

After making up their minds, they went back to their room and put their bags down.

Then I went out and bought some things at the supermarket.

A carton of milk, some snacks, some fruit...

The items weren't expensive; it's just a token of my appreciation.

The two best friends were very enthusiastic and insisted on going with Shi Xia.

Three little girls carrying things knocked on Zhao Hong'an's door.

Zhao Hongan had just finished showering and was wearing pajamas when he opened the door to find three young girls standing there, looking like three fresh and vibrant cabbages, exuding youthful energy.

In fact, among the three, Shi Xia is the most beautiful, with impeccable looks and temperament.

I was initially recruited by the group's public relations department; a good image and excellent temperament were the basic requirements.

The other two girls had decent figures and above-average looks, though one of them, Yang Ruixi, was rather pretty.

But Zhao Hongan's aesthetic sense seems to have changed as he gets older; he finds all young girls beautiful.

"It's you. Come in, come in."

Zhao Hongan ushered the three of them inside, his steps unsteady.

Shi Xia and Yang Ruixi quickly stepped forward, one on each side, to support him.

"Sir, please take your time."

Zhao Hongan didn't know whether Yang Ruixi was doing it intentionally or unintentionally, but she was squeezing his arm.

It's so good to be young.

Zhao Hongan was tempted.

Unfortunately, Brother Tongzi remained silent, seemingly indicating he has certain aesthetic standards and didn't find Yang Ruixi appealing.

Brother Tongzi, sometimes you don't have to only choose the best for me to eat. We should change things up a bit when it's time to eat whole grains.

【Ding. 】

[Target Yang Ruixi detected; host in heat detected; quantum entanglement established...]

[Yang Ruixi, an 18-slaying expert, does not meet the binding requirements; binding is abandoned.]

It's alright, Dad.

I was speaking too loudly just now.

Nima.

An 18-slash expert... This Yang Ruixi is practically a fighter jet among Kunzhong warriors!

However, this suggests that the system has certain requirements regarding the cleanliness of the target when selecting it for binding.

So, it's possible that the goddesses he was with were all there the first time?

Zhao Hong was overjoyed.
