A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

So beautiful.

This was Li Mu's first impression.

The girl's eyebrows, eyes, face, and overall demeanor inexplicably gave him a sense of pure beauty.

Although you can tell she's not very old, she is definitely at the "school beauty" level.

As he thought about it, he politely smiled and nodded to the girl.

The girl was taken aback for a moment, then returned a polite smile.

At this moment, Chu Jiwei had already restarted the car and rammed the front of it directly into the garage.

The red Honda was parked on the walkway in front of the garage.

A lively-looking girl got off the bus.

"Uncle Hai, it's been a long time!"

"Ha ha."

Wang Hai smiled and nodded, offering a compliment:

"Our Linlin has grown up and become a beautiful young woman."

Hehe~

The girl was also smiling happily, but her gaze was fixed on Li Mu.

Who is this clean-cut, handsome guy?

As she asked her question, Chu Jiwei's voice rang out:

"Linlin, this is your Uncle Hai's and Dad's friend. You should call him Uncle Li."

"..."

Li Mu's lips twitched.

He really felt that he wasn't much older than this girl.

I never expected to become an "uncle".

"Xiao Li, this is my daughter, Chu Lin. You can just call her Linlin. This is her classmate, Christine, who is also Chinese. Her Chinese name is Liu Ximeizi. You can just call her Xixi."

Li Mu was taken aback.

Liu Qianmeizi?

Japanese name?

Is she of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent?

He was somewhat surprised, but Liu Qianmeizi was very polite and called out to Li Mu:

"Hello, Uncle Li."

"Uh... hello hello."

Li Mu nodded with a smile, while Chu Lin, standing beside him, laughed and said:

"Uncle Li is really handsome."

"Haha~"

The two middle-aged men standing nearby burst out laughing.

Indeed, Xiao Li is not ugly.

"Let's go inside."

Following Chu Jiwei's words, the group entered Chu Jiwei's home together.

To be honest, Chugiwer's house is quite large, and it's laid out exactly like the ones he's seen in Hollywood movies.

It's the kind with an open kitchen, a fireplace, and a two-story layout.

He also saw the other party's lover, Ms. Li Li.

Although it was their first meeting, Li Mu was very enthusiastic, inviting them to sit down and serving them tea and water – he was incredibly attentive.

Chu Lin and Liu Qianmeizi didn't join in the adults' conversation. After entering the house, they called out, "Uncle Hai, Uncle Li, you two can chat for a while. We're going upstairs." Then they led the girl upstairs.

At first, it was just casual conversation, mainly Chu Jiwei and Wang Hai talking about things and changes in China.

The two have been friends for over ten years. They initially met as customers and merchants. In fact, Chu Jiwei and Li Li bought their wedding furniture from Wang Hai. Later, as they became more familiar with each other, they became friends.

Since we hadn't seen each other for a long time, we chatted about all sorts of everyday things, as if we had endless topics to discuss.

Midway through the meal, Li Li left her seat to go to the kitchen to cook when her phone rang.

After hanging up, he went to the living room and said to Chu Jiwei:

"Sister Li will come to pick up Qianqian in a little while."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiwei immediately said:

"Let's eat together then. Tell her not to cook, she can just come over. Where's her husband, Lao Han?"

Li Li said with a smile:

"That's what I told her too. As for Lao Han, have you forgotten? He has a case and went to Atlanta."

"Tsk, what a pity. I was even going to introduce him to you."

As Chu Jiwei spoke, he said to Li Mu and Wang Hai:

"Sisi's mother will be here in a little while. Our two families also became connected because of the children."

Wang Hai nodded first, then asked:

"So, did Sisi's whole family immigrate here too?"

"no."

Chu Jiwei lowered his voice:

"Sisi's biological father and mother divorced, and her mother brought her to the United States. Lao Han is a Chinese-American lawyer born and raised here, and the two of them got together."

"Oh~~~"

Wang Hai nodded to indicate that he understood.

That topic was then moved on, and everyone continued chatting, mainly about the differences between here and back home. They also discussed the changes in the Wei family's mindset as immigrants, from their initial unfamiliarity with the place to their current calm and accepting attitude, and their experiences.

The topic has so much potential for expansion that Li Mu, who originally wanted to ask about stocks, couldn't find a suitable entry point for the time being.

Li Mu is quite interested in making money through stock trading.

Or rather… he was thinking that next time he dreamed, he could ask his future self which stocks were worth buying. After all, the profit of turning a stock from a little over two yuan to over one hundred yuan—dozens of times the initial investment—was truly astonishing. If he invested one million yuan and in the blink of an eye two years it turned into fifty or sixty million… wow, why bother with the arduous task of investing? He could just trade stocks.

Unfortunately, this is not the right time.

After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door.

Li Li went to open the door, and Chu Jiwei also stood up.

Clearly, both of them knew who had arrived.

So Wang Hai and Li Mu also stood up to greet him politely.

"Here you are... Sisi, your mother is here."

As Li Li greeted him, Li Mu saw a middle-aged woman who looked to be around forty years old, but was very well-maintained, with a very high level of beauty and outstanding temperament walk in.

Li Mu was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself that now he knew who that girl inherited her beauty from.

Wang Hai also looked surprised.

Although I thought the girl was very pretty just now, after seeing her mother in front of me... well, I can only say that her beauty is incredibly striking.

Chu Jiwei smiled slightly at their expressions.

It was the same when he first met Sisi's mother.

As the host, he naturally had to greet the guests, but since everyone had met many times and was quite familiar with each other, he simply gave a greeting:

"Here you are... Hai-ge, Xiao Li, let me introduce you two. Liu Xiaoli, Sister Li. This is Xixi's mother! Sister Li, this is my good friend Wang Hai, whom I mentioned before. He was born in 58, so he's a bit older than you, Sister Li. Xiao Li is Hai-ge's friend."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli's smiling eyes first fell on Wang Hai, then she extended her hand:

"Hello, Brother Hai, I'm Liu Xiaoli, you can just call me Xiaoli."

"Uh... hello, hello. I'm Wang Hai, hello."

Although Wang Hai was surprised by the woman's beauty, he behaved very politely, shaking hands briefly before separating. Li Mu, on the other hand, extended his hand first.

"Hello, Sister Li, I'm Li Mu. It's nice to meet you. You can just call me Xiao Li."

Liu Xiaoli smiled slightly:

"Hello there."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from upstairs.

"Mother."

"Aunt Liu."

"Hey, Linlin~"

The mature woman had a radiant smile, especially after she accompanied the girl named Xixi downstairs and gave her mother a hug. Li Mu didn't know what others thought, but to him... well, she certainly was a beautiful sight.
