Part Two: 'East China Sugar' Chapter 332: Thunders
y for many years, but all the investments were made in the name of Wen Lan's younger brother. Therefore, he was investigated and detained, but Wen Lan was not implicated. The profits from those invest...They didn't have much luggage. Han Li's home was in Senzhou anyway, and they hadn't lived in the capital city house for long. Zhao Tingxing even less so, he had a branch office in Senzhou and a permanent hotel stay, everything was readily available, so there was no need to bring anything. Therefore, the luggage was mainly Han Zhaoyi's.
Han Zhaoyi was still very excited before, but when he really had to leave, there was a little bit of sadness: "We're not coming back anymore What about my grandparents"
Han Zhaoyi was happy again. In fact, as long as she could be with her parents, she would be happy no matter where she was.
Upon arriving in Senzhou, they stayed at Han Li's house. Zhao Tingxing no longer had the airs of a man of power he used to have in front of her, and didn't think anything was amiss about staying in her home.
And he said arrogantly, "Good thing I stopped you from selling the house back then."
He was like a completely different person from the one she could have easily killed with her money before.
Han Li was tidying up Han Zhao Yi's room. Hearing his words, she smiled and didn't speak. Zhao Ting Xing, such a man who prides himself on being a man and so self-respecting, is now willing to live in her house. It was indeed unexpected of her.
"Turns out, being a soft-handed man isn't so bad. If I had known this all along, I wouldn't have bothered struggling these past few years."
Han Zhao Yi asked seriously from the side, "Dad, what is a soft rice man"
Zhao Tingxing: “It's just that there’s a mother taking care of him, so the father doesn't have to do anything.”
"Then I'll be a soft rice man too."
The two father and son outside scolded, "Shut your mouths and go cook!"
Zhao Tingxing's cooking skills have greatly improved now. He is full of confidence and enjoys it very much. As soon as Han Li mentioned it, he immediately took Han Zhao to the kitchen. There were vegetables in the refrigerator that Han Li had asked the property manager to buy yesterday and send over. Everything was well-thought-out beforehand, very thoughtful.
Han Zhaoyi was confused: "But shouldn't a 'soft rice man' just eat and not cook"
Zhao Tingxing: "Cooking is fundamental, only then can you have the competitiveness to be a soft rice man."
Han Zhaoyi felt it was a bit complicated, but he figured since he was going to be supported by his mother anyway, it didn't matter.
When Han Li finished tidying up, Zhao Tingxin had also prepared three dishes and a soup with Han Zhaoyi. It was quite good, looking appealing, smelling delicious, and tasting great.
A family of three sat down for a meal at home, an ordinary and heartwarming occasion.
Midway through the meal, Zhao Tingxing put down his chopsticks and poured himself and Han Li each a small glass of red wine. "Li Li," he said, raising his glass, "Cheers to our little family of three, may we always be this happy."
Han Li hummed in response, lifted his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The red wine wasn't harsh, leaving a pleasant fragrance on his lips and teeth, but he felt a slight dryness and tightness in his throat.
After a moment's pause, he spoke slowly, "This scene, I have seen it countless times in my dreams."
No matter what has happened in the past, or what may happen in the future, after going through ups and downs to get here today, with a strong heart, abundant material wealth, lovely children, and an excellent partner, she sincerely feels, “Thank you, I am very happy at this moment.”
Zhao Tingxing moved his chair, got up and walked to her side, hugging her: "It's a coincidence, I feel the same way as you."
Happiness is not out of reach, it's right here and now. A family meal together, a tight embrace between the three of them, that's happiness. He felt it so profoundly and clearly.
After that, Zhao Tingxing's life settled into a routine. His company flourished. He was capable, bold, and decisive. Coupled with his previous real estate resources, both his commercial and residential business thrived, reaching new heights. He achieved what he had promised Yan Jin: to regulate the entire rental market and establish new industry standards.
Hàn Lì's company is still developing steadily. Previous turmoil has cleared up, and everything has calmed down quickly.
Her leisure time, besides spending it with Han Zhao Yi, was all dedicated to studying. Because she went to Moru University for classes on weekends, she became familiar with Ruan Ruan over time.
Ruan Ruan doesn't teach their professional courses, she only comes occasionally to give lectures on architectural aesthetics. But she has a weekend each month to work at the school, so every time she works, she brings her daughter Xiao Er.
One weekend, Zhao Tingxing was on a business trip, so Han Li had to bring Han Zhaoyi over and leave him in Ruanruan's office. The two originally bored children had a playmate, both were very happy, so much so that every weekend, not only did Han Zhaoyi ask to come to class with his mother, even Xiao'er broke new ground and followed along.
Old father Lu Kuo started to eat Ruanruan's vinegar, feeling that his daughter was closer and more clingy to her than him. Later, he found out that every time she went, she played with Han Zhaoyi. This is unacceptable! Lu Kuo became furious and decided immediately that she wouldn't be allowed to go to school on weekends anymore.
"Daddy will take you to the playground."
’ crispy voice refused, “No.”
"Then I'll take you to play with Auntie. You like Auntie the best, don't you And little brother Gulu too." Little Ears still refused crisply: "No, Auntie has a baby in her tummy. Uncle won't let me or Gulu get close to her."
Lu Ku's heart cursed Gu Ruandong, this pervert. Was Lu Yaoyao a porcelain doll that would shatter with one touch
"Daddy will go with you, Xiaogulu misses you too."
Xiao Er listened and thought for a moment. It seemed like it had been a long time since she had seen her aunt and Xiao GuLu. So, she agreed, but asked her mother to call Han ZhaoYi and say that she wouldn't be able to come to school to play with him this week. She was very polite about it.
Lu Kuo had also planned to visit Lu Yaoyao. As an older brother, he had always cared for Lu Yaoyao deeply. However, both of them now had families, and their energy was dispersed. Thinking about it, he hadn't seen her in three or four months, which made him feel a bit guilty.
When they arrived at the Gu family, Gu Ruandong was also home because it was the weekend.
As soon as Lu Kuo walked in, he felt like an outsider. The little ears were taken by the nanny to play with Xiao Gurulu. Xiao Gurulu had already learned to walk and was pulling Little Ears' hand around everywhere.
Gu Ruandong was sitting on the sofa in the leisure area, holding a tablet and browsing something. Lu Yaoyao had her head resting on his leg, watching a drama on her phone.
This scene felt strangely familiar. Lu Kuo seemed to have seen it before, and just like then, no one paid him any attention.
To Lu Yaoyao, Lu Kuò was just like family, no need for special treatment.
Lu Kuo clicked his tongue twice and took out his phone to make a video call to the old man. After the caretaker answered, holding the phone for the old man, Lu Kuo said, "Grandpa, you can't blame me for not coming to see her, look at her attitude"
Pointing the phone camera at Lu Yaoyao, he said, "But who knows, the person who was just lying down looking at their phone had already sat up at some point and was smiling at the camera. They greeted Grandpa with a sweet voice saying: 'Grandpa'."
Gu Ruandong did the same, with his arm around her shoulders, he respectfully greeted the old man in the camera with "Hello Grandpa."
The acting couple is truly eye-opening for Lu Kuo, who bows down in admiration.
"Sure enough, the old man spoke up: “Yao Yao is pregnant and needs to take care of her body. Don't keep bothering her.”oyao's face was flushed red again, she really wanted to run back and experience it right now, how could she possibly workWhen the live stream was about to end, Gu Ruandong hadn't finished yet. He sudd...
