20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2742 Xia Wenzhuo's Bait

The car stopped more than a hundred meters away from the barbecue stall, under a plane tree on the side of the road. The tree canopy blocked the light of the street lamp.

From a distance, Zhao Changan and Lu Lan saw that there were only three or four of the ten or so tables in front of the barbecue restaurant occupied by about ten people.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. It was completely different from when Qi Hongyan and her husband did it. Usually at this time the seats outside were full, and there were people waiting on the benches nearby.

"Business is not good, in such a good location?"

Although Zhao Changan already thought it wouldn't be very good, this was still too bad.

"My parents are not as careful and diligent as my aunt and uncle, so they are not very clean. My mom has had several arguments with customers in the past month."

Zhao Changan pressed Lu Lan's little head down to relax himself.

Looking at the barbecue stall, Zhao Changan couldn't help but shook his head. However, Lu Lan and Lu Jianmo are already seniors now, and they will start internships and job hunting next semester, so the Lu family has no burden.

All in all, Zhao Changan thought he had done quite well in this life till now.

In his previous life, Xia Wuyue and Qiao San were both sent to prison by Xia Wenzhuo a few years later. One was executed (Qiao San) and the other was sentenced to twenty years in prison.

The rest of these willful people seem to be living quite well.

In this life, except Zeng Xiaoxiao who reformed early on, everyone else is sliding into the quagmire and abyss.

Including those lackeys of Xia Wuyue who bullied and insulted him in Shancheng in the past, either they fell into it or were increasingly difficult to defeat them by Xia Wenzhuo.

Of course, this matter is far from over. Only when these people who have escaped the net get married and start their own families can they truly understand the pain and hardship that Zhao Changan went through back then.

Zhao Changan took out his cell phone and made an international call.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, there's something good going on. Brothers are flying together. Call me Brother Zhao."

Zhang Shun was laughing a little breathlessly over there.

"Brother Zhao."

"Brother Zhao."

The voices of the two delicate girls had exotic accents.

"Are you jealous? Come here, brother. I'll treat you to some fun. There are island girls, Australian girls, South Asian girls, and even blonde girls. As long as you can get a hard cock, nothing else matters!"

Zhang Shun was showing off and boasting on the phone.

"I want to tell you something. I'm going to cut off the connection with Qiu Jinhui. You should know without me reminding you that this woman is a venomous snake. You can play with her, but you have to be aware of it. Of course, if you play with her, just don't go too far and destroy her."

"Damn it, I knew it a long time ago, you're too late."

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Changan didn't understand.

"Xia Wenzhuo came to me the next day and told me that Qiu Jinhui was useful and asked me to break up with her. I said I had never touched her, so why would I break up with her?"

"Is this what you and Xia Wenzhuo said?"

Zhao Changan wanted to laugh and didn't believe it.

"How is that possible? Bai Yide is waiting outside. I don't want to be forced to fight with this psychopath like you. You can still resist for a few more times. I think he can kill me with one kick."

"I'm going to North America in a few days. Are you interested in visiting?"

"I can't go. Xia Wenzhuo wants to go fishing and I have to go to work. Wow, I didn't expect that she and White Dragon King would hit it off so well. I heard that your branch is opening and White Dragon King is going to come out and cut the ribbon in person. This has already caused a sensation in the entire Nanyang business circle. Awesome!" When Zeng Xiaoxiao heard Zhang Shun say that Xia Wenzhuo was going to fish, and thought of Qiu Jinhui and Xia Wenzhuo going to Xingcheng, she actually saw him off unnecessarily.

Zhao Changan understood something.

"Okay, I'll tell you something. I'm rich now. Do you understand?"

"I know you're awesome. You're the richest man in the country, making 20 to 30 billion a month. I never spend money on women. Are you jealous?"

"Shit, I'm dead."

Zhao Changan hung up the phone, and casually stroked Lu Lan's soft black hair with his right hand, then moved down and into her collar.

Xia Wenzhuo's behavior was a little beyond Zhao Changan's expectations. It seemed that this woman was still as cruel as ever.

It was obvious that she had no intention of letting Qiu Jinhui go.

If Qiu Jinhui wants to start a new life, she must produce a letter of allegiance that is significant enough.

-

The night in Mingzhu in late October does not seem to be very cold because of the sea which acts as a temperature regulator.

Zhao Changan was lying on the sofa, holding Lu Lan in his arms.

The moonlight shone into the living room through the huge glass windows, shining onto the large sofa, and the white was blindingly bright.

"If you don't want to go back to Shancheng, you can stay in Mingzhu, stay in school, or join a department. The level of the department you enter will not be lower than that in Shancheng."

Zhao Changan indicated that he was ready to drink. Lu Lan obediently took the cup on the coffee table, took a sip of water, then lowered her head to feed Zhao Changan.

After drinking three sips of tea, Zhao Changan gently patted Lu Lan's buttocks to indicate that she had finished drinking.

He added, "If you are still afraid, then go abroad to study without asking for permission. I don't believe your mother can still chase you abroad."

"Brother Changan, I have actually been thinking about this for a long time. Will uncle and aunt come to Mingzhu?"

"They have strong personalities and have long told me that they will work in Shancheng until retirement. Comrade Lao Zhao is now a small leader and can work until he is 60 years old. So they will not move for at least 16 years. And after they retire at the age of 60, I don't think they will come here. They have already planned that when they have nothing to do, they will make some small stools and sell them on the street."

It would be a lie to say that there was no objection or resentment in Zhao Changan's voice, but he could understand his parents' choice.

After all, they were both recruited into the First Construction Company at the age of 18. Although their father has now been transferred to the Construction Committee, the First Construction Company is still directly managed by him.

Shancheng’s colleagues, friends, Shancheng’s work and career ideals, and Shancheng’s life have long been integrated into their bones. Unless they have no other choice, how could they be willing to come out?

Zhao Changan actually believed his parents would make some small stools and sell them on the street.

Just like those elderly men and women, their family conditions are very good and they have no shortage of food and drink, but they still look for vacant land everywhere and grow some vegetables with great enthusiasm. Apart from what they eat themselves, they carry small stools and sell the rest of the vegetables together as a group of elderly people.

It’s not really about the money from selling vegetables, I just like the atmosphere of doing business.

"Brother Changan, then I will go back to our mountain city."

Lu Lan's words made Zhao Changan feel a little guilty, and he also felt the goodness of this little girl.

"Brother Changan, I actually like the mountains and waters of our mountain city, the people of the mountain city, and the food of the mountain city. I feel so lost and tired in a fast-paced metropolis like Mingzhu. When I return to the mountain city, I will work hard when I am at work, and when I am not at work, I will play in the streets and alleys of the mountain city. The weeping willows of Taohua River, the unique stewed and grilled fish, hot dry noodles, and sugar-fried chestnuts in our place, life is neither fast nor slow, neither hurried nor slow, how nice."

Zhao Changan turned over and pressed the cute Lu Lan on the sofa cushion. He felt that he had been a little wild and rude to her just now, and he should be more gentle with this little woman from now on.
