The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

"Call me brother!" Cao Huifang corrected him deliberately.

But when Tong Jiayi opened his mouth, no sound came out.

Tong Jiayi felt really weird about suddenly changing from a boss to a 'brother-in-law'.

I always felt that this "brother-in-law" eliminated him like a monster.

Seeing his expression, Cao Huifang didn't make things difficult for him.

"You don't have to scream if you don't want to, but you can't say bad things about my brother anymore. Even if my brother knew, he wouldn't kill you. He has a very good temper." Cao Huifang said.

When Tong Jiayi heard her say this, he remembered hearing from people in the company that the boss fired more than a dozen people at a general meeting at the beginning of the year. He wondered if the boss had a good temper.

But he didn't say it.

In addition, in matters like this, Tong Jiayi knew that it was impossible to expect the other party to consider the issue from his perspective.

After the two finished their meal, Tong Jiayi suggested going for a stroll in the mall, as he wanted to buy a gift for Cao Huifang.

The two people have some vague thoughts about each other in their hearts, and so far, they have not bought any gifts for each other.

Cao Huifang was thinking about buying something for Tong Jiayi later. Since they hadn't officially gotten married yet, she wouldn't take advantage of Tong Jiayi in this regard.

They came to the Five Star Department Store together.

She didn't think much about it when she drove over. After she stopped the car and entered the mall, Cao Huifang suddenly remembered that there were two people she knew here. She wanted to tell Tong Jiayi to change to another mall, but she didn't say it in the end. She thought it was not something shameful, and the worst that could happen was that she could tell her family about it.

There must be a result, whether it succeeds or not.

Tong Jiayi had no idea what Cao Huifang was thinking. The two of them were walking slowly in the mall. They started from the jewelry, luggage, and cosmetics area on the first floor and walked up floor by floor.

Tong Jiayi didn't know what to buy for Cao Huifang. He thought that women generally liked jewelry, cosmetics, various clothes or bags. But after taking a look around the first floor, Tong Jiayi found that Cao Huifang had no interest in these things that most women liked.

Cao Huifang took the initiative to pull him from the first floor to the second floor.

This is where women's and children's clothing is sold, as well as some home textile products.

Cao Huifang bought a skirt here. After trying it on, she asked Tong Jiayi to take a look and asked him if the dress looked good.

Tong Jiayi understood this time and bought the dress for her on the spot.

The price is not expensive, only over 800 yuan.

For both Cao Huifang and Tong Jiayi, this price range is not considered high.

Tong Jiayi wanted to buy her a more expensive skirt, but Cao Huifang waved her hand and refused.

"The skirt I just bought is very good and not expensive. There's no need to buy something too expensive. It's fine as long as it's wearable," said Cao Huifang.

She chose a set of casual clothes for Tong Jiayi, which seemed to suit Tong Jiayi's figure very well. After putting it on, Tong Jiayi looked more sunny and no longer looked too old-fashioned like the clothes he wore before.

She is only 30 years old, but she looks like she is almost 40 when she dresses like this.

Watching Tong Jiayi trying on the new clothes, Cao Huifang kept looking around him and was satisfied with every detail.

When Tong Jiayi saw this and was thinking about paying the bill himself, Cao Huifang told him that she had already paid.

That means if you buy me clothes, I'll buy you one, and then we're even.

Only then did Tong Jiayi realize that Cao Huifang was using this method to tell him that she was not taking advantage of him.

When the two were chatting, he learned that Cao Huifang was engaged in the production of short videos and made a lot of money every month.

"Let's go and take a look at the children's clothing section. If you come to our house next time, it will always be a good idea to buy some clothes and shoes for Mengmeng and Ruirui." Cao Huifang said.

Tong Jiayi felt very uncomfortable when he thought about actually going to his boss's house.

But if the two of them really want to be together, they will have to face this day eventually.

Thinking of this, Tong Jiayi also had a mentality of giving it a go and thought about buying everything first.

With Cao Huifang's guidance, she eventually bought two sets of clothes for Mengmeng and Ruirui respectively.

Tong Jiayi thought that his boss had an elderly person at home, so he also asked what he should buy for Cao Zhenghu?

"My grandpa, buy some clothes for my grandpa." Cao Huifang became excited.

Cao Huifang took Tong Jiayi away from here and went to the clothing area for middle-aged and elderly people on the 3rd floor, where she made some more selections, but Cao Huifang was still not satisfied.

When she was hesitating about what kind of clothes to buy for grandpa, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Fangfang, Fangfang."

Cao Huifang subconsciously turned her head to look over, only to see her brother's childhood friend Cao Zhen standing not far away.

There was also a pretty girl next to Cao Zhen. She had very fair skin and looked like a mixed-race girl.

She is Pamir. Today she came out with her father to buy clothes for her grandparents.

Seeing his father stop and talk to a young aunt, Pamir held his father's hand with one hand and kept his eyes on Cao Huifang, not afraid of strangers.

"Pamir, call me auntie." Cao Zhen said to his daughter.

As he spoke, Cao Zhen subconsciously turned his head to look at Tong Jiayi. He was sure that he had never seen him before, but he was walking with Cao Huifang and holding a lot of shopping bags in his hands. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

Cao Zhen wondered in his heart, could this be Cao Huifang's boyfriend?
Does his buddy Cao Shujie know about this?
Cao Huifang, however, had already introduced Tong Jiayi to Cao Zhen in a very graceful manner: "Brother Zhen, this is my friend Tong Jiayi."

Then he introduced Cao Zhen to Tong Jiayi: "This is a good friend of my brother and our neighbor. I call him Brother Zhen."

When Tong Jiayi heard this, he also called out "Brother Zhen".

But he was very nervous, especially when he thought that the other party and his boss were childhood friends. Wouldn't that mean he could no longer hide his affair with Cao Huifang?
Cao Zhen didn't think much about it. He even said to them, "You two go shopping first. When you're done, Fangfang will take your friend to my restaurant for dinner."

"Brother Zhen, let's not go. After we buy clothes, we'll go shopping somewhere else." Cao Huifang said.

Seeing that Cao Huifang didn't seem to be perfunctory, Cao Zhen didn't say anything else.

After Cao Zhen took Pamir away, Cao Huifang also told Tong Jiayi about Cao Zhen.

"The Xinjiang Restaurant in our village was jointly opened by Brother Zhen and my brother. The Xinjiang Restaurant on the 5th floor of the Five Star Department Store is also his." Cao Huifang said.

Only then did Tong Jiayi realize that he was also a hidden big boss.

……

"Has Fangfang found a partner?" After taking his daughter to buy clothes for her parents, Cao Zhen returned to the 5th floor, still thinking about this matter.

His wife just gave birth to their second child half a year ago. He has been busy taking care of his wife and children as well as the business in the store during this period and has not returned to Caojiazhuang. He really doesn't know about this matter.

However, Cao Zhen then thought that it was actually normal for Cao Huifang to find a partner. After all, he was not young anymore and it was time for him to find a partner and get married.

But what kind of person is he?
"Are you here for Fangfang's money?" Cao Zhen thought of this question subconsciously. After all, his childhood friend was very rich. Even if Cao Huifang and her brother had no financial relationship, if this family really encountered problems, Cao Shujie would definitely lend a hand.

Considering this point, it is inevitable that some people will have ulterior motives.

When he thought of this, Cao Zhen started to worry about his childhood friend again.

"I'll make a phone call and ask later." Cao Zhen thought to himself.

"Dad, Dad." Pamir called twice. Cao Zhen lowered his head and looked at his daughter: "Pamir, what's wrong with Er?"

"Mom and sister are there." Pamir shouted, pointing at the entrance of their restaurant.

I saw mother Patiguli pushing a baby stroller, and in the stroller there was a child with very white skin, lying on her back, looking around with a pair of innocent eyes. She looked like a doll and was very cute, attracting many passers-by, who stopped to look at her.

This is Cao Zhen’s second daughter, Angel, the baby his wife Patiguli gave birth to in July this year.

Seeing his wife and little daughter, Cao Zhen's steps became lighter and he walked over there holding his eldest son's hand.

Walking up to them, Cao Zhen bent down and teased the second child, Angel. A sweet smile appeared on his face, and he felt content in this life.

"Cao Zhen, what were you thinking about just now?" Patiguli asked him.

Cao Zhen told her about his encounter with Cao Huifang just now, and also specifically mentioned Tong Jiayi.

"I'm afraid Huifang will be deceived again, so I'm thinking of calling Shujie to remind him." This is what Cao Zhen said.

He and Cao Shujie are childhood friends and they have a very good relationship. To some extent, he also treats Cao Huifang as his own sister, and as a brother he certainly doesn't want to let his sister suffer.

After listening to him, Patiguli nodded seriously and said, "Then tell Shujie as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Cao Zhen has already taken out his cell phone.

He didn't even look for Cao Shujie's phone number, but directly entered the number. After a while, a person with the nickname "Throttling Ghost" appeared on the phone's dialing page.

When seeing this nickname, Cao Zhen showed a strange expression on his face, half smiling and half laughing.

Pamir saw the expression on her father's face and pointed at him and said to her mother, "Look, mom, my father's smile is so ugly."

When Patiguli saw this, she quickly asked her daughter to go play somewhere else.

When Cao Shujie received a call from Cao Zhen, he wondered why Cao Zhen called him at this time?
While pondering on this, after answering the call, Cao Shujie heard the congratulatory voice from his childhood friend Cao Zhen.

"Why are you congratulating me? I don't have any happy event. Don't try to be so mean. What do you want from me?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Then Cao Zhen said, "Shujie, has our sister found a partner?"

As soon as he asked, Cao Shujie was stunned: "What kind of partner are you looking for?"

Cao Zhen was also stunned and asked Cao Shujie: "You don't know?"

"What do you know, buddy? Why are you so weird? When did Fangfang find a partner? Have you met her?" Cao Shujie knew that his childhood friend would not speak without a purpose, nor would he say anything intentionally.

Is it true that his sister is dating someone recently?
But why didn’t you tell your family?

Are you afraid that your family won’t agree if you tell them?
Or is there some other hidden secret?

For a moment, many question marks popped up in Cao Shujie's mind.

He really wanted to hang up the phone with Cao Zhen and call his sister to ask.

However, reason told Cao Shujie that he should not act impulsively at this time.

He then asked Cao Zhen what was going on.

Only then did I hear from Cao Zhen that he had just encountered his sister and another man shopping for clothes together in the clothing section for middle-aged and elderly people on the 3rd floor of the Five Star Department Store.

"What's the man's name?" Cao Shujie asked.

"Let me think about it." Cao Zhen really couldn't remember it for a while.

He thought about it carefully before telling Cao Shujie, "When Fangfang introduced him, she said his name was Jiayi. It's a strange name."

Cao Zhen couldn't remember the other person's full name.

But when Cao Shujie heard these two words, he subconsciously shouted: "Is his name Tong Jiayi?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name. Oh, Shujie, you know it, but you lied to me and said you didn't know. Okay, I still have to take care of the children. Call me when Fangfang gets married." Cao Zhen said.

After saying that, Cao Zhen hung up the phone without waiting for Cao Shujie to respond.

Cao Shujie listened to the beeping sound coming from the phone, which soon became silent. He was thinking about what Cao Zhen had just told him, and the expression on his face looked particularly exciting.

"Tong Jiayi?" Cao Zhen pondered over the name.

I never thought that Tong Jiayi would fall in love with his sister.

"Is it true?" Cao Shujie was thinking about this question.

Of course, Cao Shujie was not stubbornly opposed. He had a good impression of Tong Jiayi.

But when did his sister and Tong Jiayi start dating?
How long did the conversation last?
Why have you kept such a big thing a secret?

Or maybe what his childhood friend Cao Zhen saw today was actually a misunderstanding.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Cao Shujie's mind, and Cao Shujie was worried.

Especially when he thought about the fact that the partner his sister found in her previous life was abusive, Cao Shujie took his sister's partner search very seriously.

However, he would not interfere too much in his sister's emotional affairs. He just wanted his sister to find someone she liked, as long as the other person had good character, it would be fine.

Cao Shujie knew Tong Jiayi's character and he was indeed a good person.

When he met his wife, Cao Shujie asked her, "Wife, if Fangfang were to find a partner, what kind of person would she choose?"

Cheng Xiaolin looked at her husband strangely, and then said, "Definitely find someone with good character who can treat her well. Other things don't matter. But I suggest that they have equal incomes. That's definitely best. Otherwise, the difference is too big and problems will arise sooner or later."

Cheng Xiaolin is a person who can see things clearly. Cao Shujie thought that Tong Jiayi's annual salary working for him was 100 million, plus bonuses. His sister making short videos might not earn that much in a year, but she could still make hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, if his sister starts her own business, her future income limit will definitely not be limited to her current income.

In this sense, their incomes are equal.

Tong Jiayi’s character is also okay.

He was already thinking about calling his sister to ask her if this was true. (End of this chapter)
