Chapter 424 The Secret of Not Returning Home
By the time the welfare home issue was resolved perfectly, it was already the Lunar New Year.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Qingdai and Xia Shanglu packed up their New Year gifts early in the morning and prepared to drive to Wengshan.

Before leaving, Xia Qingdai suddenly received a call. The caller ID showed it was Wang Yanzeng.

After she answered the phone and exchanged New Year greetings with Wang Yanzeng, she happily told her that she was going to Wengshan today and would come to visit her then.

Wang Yanzeng hesitated a bit before finally revealing the real purpose of the call, which was to hitch a ride with the brother and sister.

"Ah, you're still in Jiangcheng? You didn't go back to Wengshan on New Year's Eve?" Xia Qingdai was shocked. "Your company won't really follow the national regulations and work until New Year's Eve, right?"

"That's not the case." Wang Yanzeng paused before saying, "I'm just afraid that if I go back, my parents will ask me to get back together with him. In fact, I just called to ask casually. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. If it's not convenient for you, forget it."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask my brother." Xia Qingdai covered her phone and whispered to her brother, "Brother, Wang Yan once said she wanted to go back with us, can we take her with us?"

Xia Shanglu raised his eyebrows and replied: "Of course, it's up to you to decide."

"Thank you, brother!" Xia Qingdai gave her brother a wink, then continued to pick up the phone and said, "No problem, where are you? We'll pick you up. Have you packed your luggage?"

"It's all right. You don't have to pick me up. Just send me the address and I'll go there myself."

"It's okay. It's the same whether you take a taxi or drive there."

"Okay then. Thank you for your help. I'll send you the location on WeChat later."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Qingdai told Xia Shanglu that Wang Yan was afraid that her parents would ask her to get back together with her ex-boyfriend, so she didn't go home for the New Year.

Upon hearing this, Xia Shanglu just smiled faintly and did not comment.

Xia Qingdai was raised by Xia Shanglu since she was a child. She was very familiar with his expressions and eyes, and she could immediately read his disapproval from them.

"Why, brother, you don't believe it?"

Xia Shanglu said indifferently: "This has nothing to do with us, why should we believe it or not."

"After all, he is my childhood friend. How come you don't like to hear any gossip?"

"Isn't it enough gossip that I hear every day at work?" Xia Shanglu closed the trunk lid and gently pressed his sister's head. "Stop talking nonsense and get in the car."

Xia Qingdai got into the passenger seat, and Xia Shanglu pointed to the back seat: "You sit in the back, don't you want to chat with your little sister later?"

"Oh, that's ok, pick her up and I'll sit in the back."

"Whatever you want." Seeing Xia Qingdai fastened her seat belt, Xia Shanglu stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the science and technology park to pick up Wang Yanzeng who was living in the employee dormitory of Sesame Open Door.

Since the last time Wang Yan went to the school to have dinner with Xia Qingdai, the two have not met again.

When we grow up, even if we live in the same city, we really don’t have much time to hang out together, because everyone has their own life to pursue.

Today, Wang Yan wore a milk-coffee double-faced fleece coat that reached her knees, with a slightly shorter Chanel-style cashmere skirt underneath, and a white scarf loosely tied around her neck, looking very gentle and charming. Compared to the student-like Xia Qingdai, she looked much more mature. Who would have guessed that in terms of age, she was ten days younger than Xia Qingdai?

"Wow, Qingdai, you've become more beautiful again!"

"You are the same, beautiful lady. You didn't go home for Chinese New Year. Did you spend the New Year with your online friend?"

Hearing Xia Qingdai say this, Wang Yanzeng blushed slightly: "What brother and sister? It's normal for friends to celebrate the New Year together."

"Ah, I'm talking about the cross-Lunar New Year, are you really together?" Xia Qingdai was surprised by the speed of the two.

"How can this be true or false?" Wang Yan tried her best not to sound too happy, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"Haha, it's progressing really fast." Xia Qingdai was also very impressed by Wang Yan's ability to turn over relationships, "Is that handsome guy your boyfriend now?"

"No." Wang Yanzeng smiled lightly, "We are just friends."

Xia Qingdai looked at her expression and thought that even if they were not in love, they were not far from it. They were probably in a state of being more than lovers.

However, she did not continue to talk about this topic with Wang Yanzeng. She was not a person who liked to listen to love stories and was not interested in the details of other people's love lives.

Compared to Wang Yan's experience of meeting a really handsome guy after a misunderstanding with her online friend in Jiangcheng, she is more interested in the other party's work experience in a large Internet company like Open Sesame.

The two chatted for a few words about their studies and careers, but soon fell silent.

Xia Qingdai regretfully discovered that if she didn't talk about the past, she and Wang Yanzeng would not have many common topics.

If it was Xia Shishi or even Xu Yan who got on the bus with me today, she would probably have a lot to talk about. After all, we are all freshmen, have similar experiences, and can resonate with many things.

Alas, Xia Qingdai, who didn't want to continue making small talk, pretended to play with her cell phone.

Fortunately, she was not the only one who could not live without her phone. Wang Yanzeng's mobile phone business was much busier than hers. Seeing Xia Qingdai playing with her phone, she took it out of her pocket, opened a dialog box with someone, and never stopped.

The journey from Jiangcheng to Wengshan took about three hours at most. Except for a short break at a service area, most of the time was spent on the road.

The two chatted for half an hour and played with their phones for two and a half hours. The journey was really boring.

But unexpectedly, after getting off the Lianhai Bridge and driving towards Wang Yanzeng's home, I encountered an adrenaline-stimulating incident as soon as I got off the car.

The car had just stopped at the entrance of Wang Yanzeng's yard. When Xia Shanglu pushed open the driver's door and was about to help Wang Yanzeng take the luggage in the trunk, a dark shadow rushed towards him from the alley and punched him in the chin.

If he hadn't been professionally trained as a policeman and hadn't been naturally alert, he would have been hit hard. Even so, his chin was hit a little by the punch, which was a bit painful.

Xia Shanglu twisted the attacker's arms and twisted them behind his back, then pressed his knee against his back and pressed him against the car door: "You dare to sneak attack your Grandpa Xia, are you tired of living?"

"Let me go, let me go quickly! You're trying to steal my girl? I'm going to duel with you today!" In fact, there was no need to listen to what he was yelling. From the moment he rushed out and headed straight towards him, Xia Shanglu knew that this was most likely Wang Yan's ex-boyfriend who she was unwilling to break up with.

On the first day after she got home, she ran into her ex-boyfriend at the entrance of the yard. It seemed that his stalking skills had not diminished at all.

Last year on this day, Wang Yan told Xia Qingdai that she was pursued by someone who used a stalking method, and now the other party was just repeating the same old trick. But when she thought about him coming up and trying to beat her brother without knowing right or wrong, how could she tolerate it?
