Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 231 [230] The Person Who Knows Love Best (Third Update)
"You son of a bitch!"

Fearing that he might accidentally strangle her to death, Xu Jinhuan quickly pried Xie Zhiqiang's hands off, "There are a lot of people here, didn't you see?"

"I don't have a sister!"

Xie Zhiqiang was still gritting his teeth, but after several attempts, he couldn't manage to grab Xu Jinhuan's neck, so he had to give up and questioned, "Then why are you so nice to my sister?"

"Am I not good to you?"

Xu Jinhuan retorted, "You know she's your sister, how could I not help her if she needs it?"

"You're so loyal?"

Xie Zhiqiang sneered, "Then you're taking my sister to climb Huangshan, but not me?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "You don't want to go!"

Xie Zhiqiang retorted angrily, "Do you think that just because I'm a little chubby, I'm a pig-headed person?"

"Ok."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "There are just too many people, and everyone except my dad is a burden. With you on top of that, we really can't take care of everyone."

"My sister can take care of it, right?"

Xie Zhiqiang still sneered, "Xu Jinhuan, I'm warning you, if you try anything with my sister..."

He originally intended to say something like "cut ties completely," but then he remembered Xu Jinhuan saying "double happiness" last time, so he changed his words: "Then you should stay away from Chen Xingzhu."

"you think too much."

Xu Jinhuan said helplessly, "Your sister lives with Chen Xingzhu, is it really true? Do you think they're both idiots?"

Xie Zhiqiang said, "It's hard to say whether he's usually stupid or not, but he becomes stupid when he's in love."

"Forget it, let's eat first."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "Even if it's a trap, shouldn't the food be served first?"

Xie Zhiqiang thought for a moment and realized he was hungry too, so he got up and went to eat with him.

The two ordered a braised chicken stew and a vegetarian platter. Xie Zhiqiang also grabbed two cans of Coke and then asked him, "What should I do now?"

Xu Jinhuan said irritably, "You pinched me, and now you want to ask me for advice, huh?"

Xie Zhiqiang said, "I'm almost like a brother-in-law now, can't I even ask my brother-in-law for a little affection?"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There's nothing I can do. In other words, no one can do anything about this kind of thing."

Xie Zhiqiang remained silent for a while before asking again, "My sister can't stay away from home forever, can she?"

"That's definitely not the case."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "If your sister becomes rich one day and becomes even more powerful than Ding Wenjie's family, or if she falls in love and her boyfriend becomes more powerful than Ding Wenjie's father, your parents definitely won't have this attitude."

"..."

Xie Zhiqiang wanted to refute, but he also knew it was the truth, so he looked at him suspiciously: "You're not talking about yourself, are you?"

“Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain.”

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "Can't there be pure friendship between men and women?"

"hehe!"

"There's something else,"

The owner brought out the vegetarian platter first. Xu Jinhuan picked up a slice of lotus root, chewed it with gusto, and said, "I'll be switching classes after school starts."

"what?"

Xie Zhiqiang was taken aback. "Weren't you supposed to be participating in a competition?"

“Master Fu and Chen Xingzhu, the homeroom teacher, are a married couple. I attend classes in Chen Xingzhu's class, but my student record is still in our class.”

Xu Jinhuan explained the situation, "His grades are still in our class, but he doesn't usually attend classes with us... Can your pig brain understand that?"

"So you still prefer Chen Xingzhu?"

Xie Zhiqiang grasped the key point: "In that case, you should stay away from my sister."

“I wasn’t close to your sister to begin with.”

Xu Jinhuan changed the subject and asked, "Has Ding Wenjie been going to your house lately?"

“I visited you a few days ago, when you were in Huangshan.”

Xie Zhiqiang still had a very bad impression of Ding Wenjie, but then he said, "This guy seems to play LOL too. He even talked to me about LOL the other day and asked if my sister plays it..."

'He's your Peach!'

Xu Jinhuan thought to himself, then asked with a smile, "What did you say?"

"Of course I'd say I don't want to play, my sister doesn't play either."

Xie Zhiqiang also picked up his chopsticks and ate. "Even if my sister is playing, I definitely can't tell him, otherwise he'll find a way to harass her again..."

"Makes sense."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't worried about Ding Wenjie's suspicions; Ding Wenjie would only feel that Xie Zhiqiang hadn't told him the truth.

"How much is your advertising fee now?"

After the stewed chicken was served, Xie Zhiqiang picked up a cornbread, put it in his bowl, took a bite, and then casually asked, "Has it gotten bigger?"

Xu Jinhuan also picked up a pancake and casually said, "Today's data: the advertising fee from the day before yesterday was 5600."

"..." Xie Zhiqiang's pancake fell into his bowl, and he stared blankly at him: "A month?"

"Of course, it'll take a day."

Xu Jinhuan glanced at him, "If it were more than five thousand a month, would it match the nonchalant, pretentious tone I'm using right now?"

"That too……"

Xie Zhiqiang thought it made sense, so he took out his phone and used a calculator to do the math. "17 a month?"

"You need a calculator for this too?"

Xu Jinhuan expressed his disdain, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, just focus on your studies. After you graduate, I'll give you a chance to carry Mr. Xu's bags."

This is a common joke among teenagers, where they tease each other with things like "If I become rich, I'll carry your bag." If Xu Jinhuan really wanted to help him, there are many other ways, and he certainly wouldn't use this kind of joke.

"I don't care about it."

Xie Zhiqiang was already thinking about currying favor with a powerful figure, but he naturally wouldn't admit it on the surface. "Maybe I'll be even more powerful than you in the future... Although the probability is slim, it shouldn't be difficult for me to support myself, right?"

The two of them barely finished a serving of braised chicken. Xu Jinhuan checked the time and sent Chen Xingzhu a message: "Have you landed yet?"

The two sisters flew from Pengcheng to Beijing.

Chen Xingzhu quickly replied: "We didn't reach Beijing; we made an emergency landing at Tianjin Binhai Airport."

Xu Jinhuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xingzhu: "They said there was a severe rainstorm in Beijing, so we're planning to take the high-speed train back to Beijing."

Xu Jinhuan suddenly remembered something, searched the news, and then searched on Weibo, quickly confirming what was happening:

The massive rainstorm that struck Beijing on July 21!

Xu Jinhuan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly dialed Chen Xingzhu's number: "Where are you guys?"

"We're on a bus heading to the city center."

Chen Xingzhu's tone was a little strange, "What's wrong?"

"Don't go to the capital yet!"

Xu Jinhuan tried to speak in a calm tone, "Find a hotel in Tianjin city today and go to Beijing tomorrow morning."

Chen Xingzhu noticed his unusual behavior and asked softly, "Is something the matter?"

"I just searched online, and it says there's a massive rainstorm and flooding in Beijing!"

Xu Jinhuan emphasized, "People have already drowned. If you change to a high-speed train now, it will be almost evening when you arrive in Beijing. I'm afraid there might be an accident."

"Is it that serious?"

Chen Xingzhu initially thought it was just a change in the weather, but she was quite surprised to hear this. "When we get to the station, a car will come to pick us up."

"Tomorrow, it won't make a difference if it's just one more night. It would be more troublesome if we had to stop halfway because of the heavy rain."

Xu Jinhuan said softly, "You guys pick a nice hotel in the city... I'll look it up."

"Okay, then I'll discuss it with Xingruo."

Chen Xingzhu felt that he was overreacting, but she knew that he was concerned about her, so she did not refuse. After hanging up the phone, she told her sister about the situation.

"I'll call Dad."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingruo did not question Xu Jinhuan's overreaction, but she found it somewhat hard to believe, so she called her father, Chen Guiliang.

No one answered, so she called the secretary again. This time the call was answered quickly, and the other party said, "President Chen is in an important meeting... It is indeed raining, but it shouldn't be that serious. I'll find someone to check the situation and call you back right away."

Chen Xingruo hung up the phone, and a few minutes later, her secretary called back: "The rain is indeed very heavy; all flights and trains near Beijing are affected..."

Chen Xingruo said, "Then let's stay in Tianjin for one night and go back tomorrow."

"That's definitely safer,"

The secretary clearly shared the same thought, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I'll tell Mr. Chen later...would you like me to arrange a hotel for you?"

"No need, I have a bunch of memberships."

Chen Xingruo hung up the phone again and smiled at her sister, "Xu Jinhuan is quite capable. He can find out so much information just by searching online. I can't find anything like that..."

Chen Xingzhu had the same feeling. After confirming the itinerary with her sister, she took out her phone and sent a message to Xu Jinhuan: "We're getting ready to check in. Xingruo has a hotel membership. The hotel will send a car to pick us up when we get off the bus."

"That's good."

Xu Jinhuan nodded, then reminded him, "Remember to check the navigation, and send me the license plate number later."

Chen Xingzhu: "Mm."

"Sis, you can't talk like that."

Chen Xingruo watched her sister chat and offered advice, "Words have no emotion. Replying with just 'um' sounds very aloof. You should reply with two words, like 'um um,' 'um ne,' or 'um la'... understand?"

Chen Xingzhu thought for a moment and felt that her sister was right. Just as she was about to agree, Chen Xingruo said, "If you don't believe me, look at your chat history. Xu Jinhuan always sends two words, never a single word. He's very cunning..."

Chen Xingzhu looked at her sister, Chen Xingruo, who said confidently, "I don't even need to look to know. If you don't believe me, go through the chat history... I'm a dating master."

Chen Xingzhu then scrolled through the chat history and found that she was the one who was saying "hmm" most of the time. So she searched through the chat history and quickly found a message from Xu Jinhuan saying "hmm" and showed it to her sister.

"...You don't even know this? You're so stupid!"

Feeling utterly humiliated, Chen Xingruo remained silent for a few seconds, then snorted resentfully and muttered disdainfully, "I thought he was on par with me in terms of dating expertise, but he's way below me!"

She suddenly became excited again, her big eyes sparkling, and said proudly, "Doesn't this mean that I'm the most skilled at love among us?"
