“Hey, Brother Chao, I’m thinking of going back home for a couple of days.” Zhou Chao, who was having breakfast, looked surprised as he gazed at Jiang Li. “What’s the reason for going back?”
Jiang Li stirred her porridge with chopsticks, paused for a moment, and said, “No special reason, I just want to spend some time with my parents. I know you’ll be heading back to Modu soon, and we might not return to Jingdu until the end of the year.”
“Why is that? Isn’t it easy to come back anytime?”
“I’ve told you before, I don’t want to be just a decorative piece. This time when I go back to Modu, I plan to work at your company, learn gradually, and hopefully, one day, I can contribute to your success!” Jiang Li looked up at Zhou Chao with determination.
“Alright, I agree, but let’s finish our meal first,” Zhou Chao understood that Jiang Li was serious, and he didn’t try to dissuade her further. After all, he fully supported his wife’s ambition.
“Yeah, love you, hubby!” Jiang Li made a heart symbol with her fingers, and Zhou Chao responded with a playful one of his own.
After breakfast, Jiang Li headed upstairs while Zhou Chao cleaned up the kitchen.
“Are you ready? Should I give you a ride?” Zhou Chao, lying half on the sofa, caressed the orange head of Shoufu, the pet cat, and couldn’t find anything to do at the moment.
“It’s okay. I’m a grown-up. Do I need a ride? 1’11 drive back myself. I’ll just take the Cullinan,”
“Alright! Be careful on the road!” Jiang Li picked up her keys, gave Zhou Chao a quick kiss, and headed towards the garage.
“Hey, Shoufu, what do you think we should do while we’re at home?” Zhou Chao half-jokingly asked his cat, who was now curled up in his arms, feeling perplexed by the lack of activity.
“Once we get back to Modu this time, we must visit the university. After all, it’s one of the top engineering schools in the country, and there are plenty of opportunities to profit from. We can fleece some sheep there, hahaha!” Zhou Chao chuckled at his own wicked thoughts, which startled Shoufu and made him curl up even tighter.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, interrupting Zhou Chao’s daydreaming. He looked at his phone, and it displayed a Jingdu number. Without much thought, he answered the call.
“Hello, it’s me, Wen Shao.” Zhou Chao was surprised by the caller and didn’t expect Wen Shao to call him.
“Wen Shao, what’s up?”
“Brother-in-law, do you want to hang out today?”
“Where are we going?”
“I’ll bring you to an awesome spot, I guarantee it’s all about nature!” When Zhou Chao heard the latter part of Wen Shao’s statement, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“You sly guy. If you’re bringing me to some unclean places, you’ll see how your sister deals with you!”
“Brother-in-law, I promise there won’t be!”
Hearing Wen Shao’s solemn assurance, Zhou Chao thought for a moment and realized he had nothing else to do. He said, “Alright, where are we going? Send me the address!”
“Huabin Manor International Golf Club. It’s located in Changping District. I’ll send you the address to your phone, Brother-in-law. Go and take a look!” “Sure, I got it! 1’11 get ready and head over.” Zhou Chao hung up the phone and opened the location sent by Wen Shao. It was quite a distance, around 80 kilometers.
Zhou Chao changed into comfortable sportswear and drove his Phantom directly onto the Outer Ring Expressway.
By the time Zhou Chao arrived at the club, it was almost 11 o’clock, and he estimated that he had been driving for about an hour.
After parking his car, Zhou Chao took out his phone and dialed Wen Shao’s number. It rang twice before being answered.
“Hello!” A youthful female voice came from the other end of the phone, surprising Zhou Chao. He checked the contact information on his phone and confirmed that it was indeed Wen Shao’s number. However, he couldn’t understand why a girl was answering. Could it be his girlfriend?
“Is Wen Shao there? Let me speak to him.”
“Oh, please wait for a moment.”
Zhou Chao heard the sound of footsteps on the other end of the phone. After a while, he heard a girl calling for Wen Shao to pick up the phone.
“Brother-in-law, have you arrived?”
“Yeah, I’m in the parking lot.”
“Just wait a moment, I’ll come out to pick you up!” Before Zhou Chao could react, Wen Shao quickly hung up the phone.
In no time, Zhou Chao saw a white golf cart approaching. Wen Shao was driving the cart.
Zhou Chao, observing the situation, opened the car door and stepped out, and the golf cart came to a steady stop in front of him.
“Hey, brother-in-law, hop in!” Seeing Wen Shao’s joyful demeanor, Zhou Chao wondered if going out with him today was the right decision.
Without much thought, Zhou Chao simply got into the golf cart and asked, watching Wen Shao drive attentively, “Who was that girl who answered your phone earlier? Is she your girlfriend?”
“Hehe, brother-in-law, how did you know!”
“Is it common for the caddies at your golf club to be little girls? I’m afraid you called me out to play golf just to use me as a shield, right? Come on, tell me, are we playing for real or just having some fun?”
“Of course, we’re playing for real! Wen Wen and 1 are genuinely in love!”
Zhou Chao looked at Wen Shao, who appeared quite anxious, and knew that this guy was in deep.
“Alright, spill the beans. What’s the deal with this girl?”
Wen Shao proceeded to introduce her. The girl named Wen Wen was also from their school, majoring in music. Wen Shao explained that they had met during a school-organized event, and he had pursued her for over a month, often sending flowers, going out for meals, and watching movies. He estimated that he had spent around ten thousand yuan during their courtship, and today marked their first official date.
“What’s her family background like? Do you know?”
“Uh… I’m not sure, I haven’t asked her, but judging by her clothing and appearance, her family seems to be well-off.”
Zhou Chao’s tone turned serious as he inquired, “Has she got a general idea about your family background?”
“She knows a little!” Wen Shao’s voice lowered slightly, and he seemed somewhat unsure.
“Just a little?” Zhou Chao could tell that Wen Shao was hiding something and raised his voice slightly.
“She knows that my family is involved in politics, but she doesn’t know the specifics.” Wen Shao hesitated for a moment but eventually revealed the truth.
“You haven’t introduced me to her, have you?” Zhou Chao suddenly felt worried that if Wen Shao fell victim to a scam, he would end up footing the bill.
“No, no!” Wen Shao quickly shook his head.
“It’s best if you didn’t. And don’t reveal too much about your family’s situation!” Zhou Chao was not worried about Wen Shao not finding true love but more concerned about him being taken advantage of without his knowledge.
“I understand, Brother-in-law!”
Zhou Chao watched as Wen Shao’s mood seemed to dip a bit and then said, “Cheer up. If your girlfriend finds out, she might think I’m bullying you. Just tell her I’m your older brother when we go in!”
“Hehe, got it!” Seeing how quickly Wen Shao’s expression changed, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but admire him.
Soon, Wen Shao drove into the club’s interior. The golf club was surrounded by mountains on three sides and featured beautiful landscaping inside, instantly lifting one’s spirits.
Zhou Chao accessed the system to check if he could sign in and potentially improve his golf skills.
“System, sign in!”
“Sign-in successful.. Congratulations, host, you have acquired Huabin Manor (Golf Club, Hotel, Equestrian Club, etc)!”
