Rebirth Must Be Happy

"so big!"

Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo had just had a nap and were very energetic, so they weren't in a hurry to go upstairs. Instead, they stayed at Xu Jinhuan's house, playing with the cat and cards.

In the elimination round, Chen Xingruo, who had just been eliminated after playing the landlord, jumped up and hopped around for a moment. Then, glancing outside on the balcony, she sighed, "I wonder how long this will last?"

Song Zhiyu glanced outside and muttered, "I wonder how my uncle will get home after get off work."

Xu Jinhuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

Song Xiaohui was arranging the cards when she casually asked, "What is it?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "If the advertising revenue stabilizes in a few months, I'd like to buy my dad a car."

Several cards flew out of Song Xiaohui's hand with a thud, and Chen Xingzhu and the others couldn't help but laugh. Song Zhiyu scolded, "Look how scared you made your aunt, the cards flew away."

"Otherwise, when it's raining or when we need to go to our maternal or paternal grandparents' houses, it's definitely more convenient to have a car, especially in the cold winter and the scorching summer..."

Xu Jinhuan advised, "Of course, I'm not saying we should buy it right away. My dad's birthday is in a few months, so let's give him a surprise."

"Oh, you should deposit some money."

Song Xiaohui took the cards Chen Xingzhu handed her and said irritably, "You always think of ways to spend money as soon as you have a little bit. Why buy a car? I'm not buying one!"

"Brother, I support you!"

Song Zhiyu interrupted with a grin, "And Sister Xingzhu and Sister Xingruo both support you, so we have two cars to ride in."

"I have a solution!"

Chen Xingruo suddenly raised her hand, "You don't need to buy a car. I have a car, but I don't have a driver's license so I can't drive it. In a few days, you can come to Beijing with me and bring the car over. Then you can leave it at your house and drive it however you want. Just be my driver when I come over, okay?"

Song Xiaohui laughed and said, "Why would you buy a car if you don't have a driver's license?"

Do I look like someone who lives off a woman?

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes and complained, but before she could finish, Song Zhiyu asked curiously, "Sister Xingruo, what kind of car did you buy?"

"Land Rover Range Rover... what 5.0..."

Chen Xingruo thought for a moment, but still couldn't remember the specific model, so she said, "V8... anyway, it's called Land Rover..."

Xu Jinhuan immediately changed his tune: "...Of course, this doesn't count as being a kept man. We're all friends, and being a driver is just a small matter...When are we going back to Beijing to pick up the car?"

Song Zhiyu said coquettishly, "Can't you be a little more dignified?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I'm about to drive a Land Rover, that's pretty impressive!"

"Sis, I told you he'd say yes, right?"

Chen Xingruo turned to her sister with a smug smile, then said to Xu Jinhuan, "You can go anytime you have time, even now. It's parked in my garage."

Xu Jinhuan's phone rang. He picked it up, glanced at it, and then stood up, phone in hand: "Let's go, let's go now!"

Song Zhiyu said reproachfully, "You're really going?"

Song Xiaohui and Chen Xingzhu found it both funny and exasperating. Song Xiaohui asked, "Where are we going?"

Chen Xingzhu said, "Even if you go, you have to wait until the rain stops."

"He's definitely faking it."

Chen Xingruo snorted coldly, "I know him... He must have something else on his mind. Maybe it's some pretty female classmate who's looking for him."

Xie Zhiqiang asked me to play games.

Xu Jinhuan found a large black umbrella, changed her shoes, and went out. "You guys have fun, I'm not going to torture you here anymore... I'm eating out, I'll be back later!"

Song Zhiyu said, "Did your aunt agree? How dare you run out to play games?"

Bye-bye!

Xu Jinhuan waved his hand and left the house. As he went downstairs, he carefully read the message Xie Zhiqiang had sent: "My sister left her car keys and my house keys at home and went out by herself. My parents won't let me go out. Can you call my sister?"

"it is good."

Xu Jinhuan typed a reply to his message, then dialed Xie Wanqing's number, only to hear a cold, mechanical female voice on the other end: "The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

'In the elevator?'

Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment, then dialed again, but still couldn't get through. He dialed twice more, and finally heard the familiar "beep—beep—" sound.

The phone rang twice before being answered. Xie Wanqing softly said "Hello" with a slightly nasal tone. Xu Jinhuan asked, "Was my sister in the elevator just now?"

"Ah."

"Xiaoqiang messaged me, sister, wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Xu Jinhuan stepped into the rain with an umbrella, casually chatting with her as she did so: "Sister, don't overthink it. Nothing fundamentally changed from before. You'll still live with Xingzhu and continue to be my assistant... um,"

He paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's just that I might be a bit busier from now on. I'm going to participate in a competition, and there's a convention there. I'll have to prepare everything myself. The only things I can offer for my game are data and promotional materials. I'll have to do all that layout and printing, and I've never done any of that before. My sister will have to help me..."

"Also, the new game is almost finished, but maintaining it won't be as simple as it seems. I'm planning to set up a studio. Could you help me recruit a few computer science students from your school to help out? After all, college students are cheaper and more cost-effective..."

He deliberately distracted Xie Wanqing, and Xie Wanqing naturally understood.

Because of the rain, dusk fell earlier, and the streetlights emitted a faint glow in the rain. Xie Wanqing stood outside the unit door downstairs, looking at the rain outside. A slight chill swept over her, and she could clearly feel his worry and concern through the phone, which warmed her heart.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

When Xu Jinhuan paused in his speech, Xie Wanqing looked at the rain outside and smiled, saying, "I'll wait for you here. Come and pick me up."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

"Ah."

After Xie Wanqing hung up the phone, Xu Jinhuan went outside the residential area and hailed a taxi. Luckily, he got a taxi in just a few minutes and drove straight to Xie Wanqing's residential area.

"Master, please wait here for me for a moment."

When they arrived at the entrance of the residential area, the taxi couldn't go in, so Xu Jinhuan gave the driver twenty yuan and said, "I'm going to pick someone up, I'll be right there."

"Okay, you go."

Xu Jinhuan got out of the car with an umbrella, entered the residential area, and quickly found the building. In the twilight rain, Xie Wanqing, wearing dark jeans and a beige short-sleeved chiffon blouse, was standing under the eaves, staring blankly at the rain.

When he reached her, Xie Wanqing finally realized who it was. Seeing that it was him, she wiped away her tears with her palm and gave a gentle smile: "You've come?"

"Um,"

Xu Jinhuan took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to her, smiling as she said, "I've come to pick up my sister and take her home."

Xie Wanqing took the tissue, pulled out one to wipe away her tears, and after a couple of seconds of silence, said, "I don't even know where home is anymore."

"Home is a safe haven; wherever you can find shelter from the storm, that is home."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled, walked to her side, and held the umbrella over her. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. The driver is still waiting outside... Doesn't that sound impressive?"

Xie Wanqing smiled and walked side by side with him into the rain.

Xu Jinhuan was carrying a traditional long-handled umbrella, which was much larger and more stable than a folding umbrella, but it was still not enough for the two of them to share the umbrella. They still had to stand close together to avoid getting wet in the rain.

Xu Jinhuan didn't try to avoid suspicion and naturally moved closer to Xie Wanqing, shifting the umbrella slightly towards her, and said with a smile, "Does Sister think I look like Zhuge Liang?"

Xie Wanqing asked, "Did Xiaoqiang tell you that?"

No, I was just guessing.

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "I actually hope I'm wrong, so my sister won't be so upset..."

Xie Wanqing asked, "How do you know my parents would threaten me with money?"

"It's not really a threat."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "There's a saying that if you have a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail. Since they value these things, they must be used to using them to solve problems."

Xie Wanqing was silent for a while, then suddenly asked as she walked out of the community gate, "Will you become this kind of person in the future?"

"Will not."

Xu Jinhuan shook his head. "For me, making money is very easy, so I don't value money very much. There are many things that no amount of money can buy, such as my young parents, my good friend Zhizhi, and Xingzhu..."

He paused, turned to look at Xie Wanqing, and said with a smile, "For example, my sister."

Xie Wanqing's cheeks flushed, and she avoided his gaze, asking softly, "Do you think I did the right thing?"

"There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, only choices."

Xu Jinhuan didn't answer directly. As he led her to a taxi by the roadside, he smiled and said, "I saw a post online about someone who owed hundreds of thousands of yuan and wanted to commit suicide. A netizen asked: If you were a cold, lifeless corpse, and you could be brought back to life, given a healthy body and the prime of your life, but the price was that you would have to pay off hundreds of thousands of yuan in debt over the next few decades, would you be willing to accept it?"

He turned to look at Xie Wanqing, "If you were Xie Wanqing, whose married life is unhappy, and if you could go back in time to change your unhappy marriage and fate, the price would be having to fight against your parents, would you be willing to accept it?" (End of Chapter)
