Zhou Chao was about to speak when his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Si Cong. He nodded to Zhou Haojie and walked aside to answer.
“Hello, what’s up, Si Cong?” Zhou Chao asked.
“You said you were returning. It’s been a while now. Why haven’t you made any moves? We’re all waiting for you to co back so we can have fun together!”
Si Cong’s voice carried a hint of a different vibe, and Zhou Chao chuckled as he replied, “I’m already back since a few days ago.”
“Really? Young Master Zhou, you co back and don’t even give us a call. Are you worried we’ll spill the beans to your wife?” Si Cong joked.
“Stop teasing, my wife is with now. I ca back because my grandfather is celebrating his 8oth birthday in Fog City these days. I originally planned to call you guys after things settled down here, but you beat to it.”
“Young Master Zhou, is your grandfather’s birthday banquet a family event?” Si Cong inquired.
Zhou Chao replied irritably, “Isn’t that obvious? If it wasn’t a family event, would I have rushed back from a thousand miles away in Russia?”
“Wow, you didn’t even bother to give us a call about such an important matter. So, you’re in your hotown in Fuzhou now?”
“Yeah, in a small town below Fuzhou. Planning to co over? I was afraid you’d arrive after the banquet’s over.” Zhou Chao teased.
“I see. Young Master Zhou, I’ve got sothing important here, I’ll hang up now!” Si Cong quickly ended the call.
Zhou Chao looked at his phone, feeling puzzled by Si Cong’s behavior. Perhaps another tall, beautiful woman had caught his attention again. Shaking his head, he dismissed the thought.
Back at the pavilion, Jiang Li and Zhou Haojie were already chatting animatedly. Especially Zhou Qi and Zhou Fei, who were curious about how Jiang Li and Zhou Chao knew each other.
“Who called just now? You seed quite happy talking to them!” Jiang Li asked curiously as Zhou Chao sat down.
“It was Si Cong. He called to remind of our plan to hang out together. I promised to join him when I returned.” Zhou Chao sighed.
“Big brother, you’re really close to Si Cong. He even calls you.” Zhou Qi’s eyes flashed with surprise. After all, Si Cong was soone they could never dream of getting in touch with.
Zhou Chao didn’t hide anything and honestly replied, “Yeah, we’re quite close. Didn’t you guys see Guo Yan’s circle of friends earlier? It was taken when we had dinner together with Si Cong.”
At this mont, Zhou Hao’s eyes showed a hint of complexity. He had been proud of himself for joining the Yida headquarters in Fog City right after graduation. But he never expected his big brother to be dining with the young master of Yida already.
Zhou Chao noticed Zhou Hao’s change in expression. It was part of his plan to see if Zhou Hao could resist such temptations.
If he couldn’t resist even this basic temptation, then bringing Zhou Hao to his side for cultivation would only harm him in the end.
A fledgling bird shouldn’t be taken to a real hunting ground. It might be eaten the mont it enters.
After a while, Zhou Hao ca back to his senses, his eyes clear. It seed he had no intention of taking the easy way out.
“Sis-in-law, does that an big brother is really wealthy now?” Zhou Qi asked excitedly, looking at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled and glanced at Zhou Chao beside her before replying, “Your big brother should be considered quite wealthy.”
Just the cash flow Jiang Li currently controls was enough to rival a Fortune Global 500 conglorate. That should be considered wealthy, right?
Naturally, they kept this information to themselves. If they were to talk about it openly, nobody would believe them. After all, having that much money would essentially make them the wealthiest people in the country!
“Hehe, big brother, Happy New Year!” Zhou Qi looked at Zhou Chao with a flattering expression, her hands rubbing together excitedly.
“Happy New Year?” How could Zhou Chao not be baffled by this? It was still several months away from the New Year, and they were already giving New Year’s greetings?
Zhou Hao and Zhou Fei beside her followed suit, taking out their phones and opening their paynt codes from their pockets. They went through the motions smoothly, as if they were well-practiced.
Seeing the three pairs of expectant eyes, Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile and scanned two thousand each to the three of them.
As the notification sounds of the incoming money rang, they all smiled, their eyes squinting with joy as they stood up and thanked, “Thank you for the red envelope, big brother.”
“Alright, alright, sit down, everyone.” Zhou Chao quickly waved his hand, signaling them to sit.
As for why he only gave each of them two thousand, Zhou Chao had his own considerations. It was clear that Zhou Hao and the others weren’t asking for red envelopes for the money; they were just in it for the fun.
The three of them sat down with smiles, especially Zhou Qi, who said happily, “I’ve been longing for a pair of shoes for so long, and now I can finally buy them. Before this, I even begged Dad to buy them for , but he refused.” “Hehe, I can finally buy a few sets of clothes too,” Zhou Fei chid in.
Seeing the joy on his two sisters’ faces, Zhou Chao finally felt the warmth of ho, the bond between siblings.
Ti passed slowly as they chatted, and soon it was half past eleven.
At this ti, Third Uncle ca upstairs, still loudly calling Zhou Chao’s na..
