CHAPTER 582: CHAPTER 575: FLEETING TIME

Zhong Anmei and Shangguan Qing, a married couple, are also in Province G. However, they are in G City military region, where Shangguan Qing has now reached the rank of division commander with a senior colonel military rank, representing a promising young talent.

Moreover, Shangguan Qing’s immediate superior is none other than Yang Wenlong, the father of Yang Shu. With his own capabilities and the backing from above, his future is boundlessly bright.

Zhong Anmei also gave birth to a son, named Shangguan Peng, nicknamed Tie Dan, a name casually given by his grandfather Shangguan Lie.

There is also a story behind this. It is said that after Zhong Anmei gave birth to her son, Shangguan Qing called home to share the good news and asked Shangguan Lie to pick a nickname. At that moment, Shangguan Lie was playing with a pair of iron balls and casually suggested the name Tie Dan.

Consequently, young Shangguan Peng ended up with a lifelong detested nickname—Tie Dan.

Tie Dan is six years old this year, inheriting the best qualities of both Shangguan Qing and Zhong Anmei, he has grown quite gallant and remarkable.

This is what little Tie Dan himself said. A supremely narcissistic little guy, he needs to admire himself in the mirror twenty times a day and comb his hair ten times, also strongly demanding Sisi to call him "Little Tiger", and absolutely not Tie Dan.

How could such a heroic man be saddled with such a downgrading nickname?

The little guy had furiously protested this, but his power level is too low, simply no match for his dad, hence he can only grudgingly continue to endure this graceless nickname.

Shangguan Family has always resolved matters with fists!

However, Tie Dan has been diligently practicing his martial arts, aiming to defeat his old man and change his nickname to Little Tiger, what a majestic name that would be!

On the third day Sisi arrived in City F, the Shangguan ladies also joined, as Yang Shu was overseas discussing business. Feeling bored at home, they packed their bags and decided to tag along with Sisi.

Their first stop was at Zhong Anmei’s place, after all, it had been several years since they last met, Sisi really missed An Mei, and Shangguan also missed her second brother. Besides, Yang Wenlong and his wife also missed their granddaughter dearly, and this was a good opportunity to bring her over for them to see.

Sisi and the others drove there by themselves, using a car borrowed from Li Junji. Li Junji now spends ten months of the year in City F, as his electronics factory has been relocated to City F and has begun profitable production.

After listening to Tian Xinhua’s advice, Li Junji immediately went to discuss the matter with his grandfather. It can be said that Li Junji’s luck isn’t half bad; Li Fuyuan had been pondering about expanding into the Mainland. With such a huge pie like the Mainland, how could he not be tempted?

However, he is a man who prefers to advance only when certain of success, not daring to step blindly into the Mainland. After all, in Hong Kong, he is a local bigwig, but in the Mainland, he would be just a tiny loach. Without protection, he would be vulnerable to bullying.

Unexpectedly, his grandson came running back to tell him about a friend being a high official in City F, what a pleasant surprise!

Li Fuyuan didn’t expect that Qiao Ziqiang’s son-in-law would have such a profound connection; being able to rule over a city before thirty was not something achievable by capabilities alone. Tian Xinhua’s future prospects must be unlimited!

If the Li Family could forge a good relationship with the He Sisi couple, wouldn’t they be smooth-sailing in the Mainland? What’s there to fear?

Overjoyed, Li Fuyuan didn’t hesitate to entrust the electronics factory entirely to Li Junji’s management, also handing him two more factories to run, putting his third branch on par with the first branch, also elevating Li Junji’s status within the Li Family.

Li Junji was extremely grateful to the He Sisi couple, and he also remembered his grandfather’s teaching to befriend the couple. It was very possible that this couple could be the Li Family’s biggest support in the Mainland.

Thus, when Sisi mentioned borrowing a car, Li Junji did not hesitate to drive over personally with a brand-new fiery red convertible sports car, a testament to his sincere goodwill.

The car was a good one alright, but there weren’t enough seats, so Sisi personally went to select a regular white sedan from his garage.

"Just this one, lend it to me for a month." Sisi patted the roof and told Li Junji.

"Sure, I’d give it to you if you want." Li Junji was extremely generous.

"Don’t, you better not get my Brother Xin Hua in trouble." Sisi glanced at him and Li Junji chuckled mischievously.

"By the way, where is that guy Qiao Xingbang? How is he and Ah Hui doing?" Sisi asked.

She knew that Mo Hui gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins four months ago. Boss Qiao was overjoyed and threw a three-day banquet in Hong Kong, handing out generous red envelopes to everyone, saying it was to bless the children.

And Qiao Zhenbang’s wife, Luo Linglong, finally had a daughter. Although not a son, which slightly disappointed Qiao Zhenbang, having a child already satisfied him, so he was quite happy.

"They’re doing well. Ah Hui is now a hero in the Qiao Family, and Xingbang doesn’t dare to raise his voice around her, or else Boss Qiao would slap him right away," Li Junji said smilingly.

Suddenly, an image of Qiao Xingbang trembling under Boss Qiao’s giant fists popped into Sisi’s mind. She couldn’t help but break into laughter, feeling happy for Boss Qiao that his wish to hold his grandchildren was fulfilled.

"What about your son? Why didn’t you bring him along to play?" Sisi asked again.

"He’s a bit too young. Let’s wait until he’s a bit older," Li Junji said, thinking of the chubby little bun at home and couldn’t help but grin.

Seeing Li Junji’s goofy smile, Sisi couldn’t help but laugh too. Time really flies so fast; in the blink of an eye, they all had started families and become parents. Maybe it won’t be long before their gatherings are filled with talks of grandchildren.

Sisi smiled and shook her head.

G city is not far from F city, just over an hour’s drive away. Zhong Anmei and her family were already waiting for them at the military region complex’s gate.

Zhong Anmei was still as radiant as ever, but now with a hint of a young matron’s charm and more of a mature woman’s allure.

"Sisi, how come you still look the same? I haven’t seen you change at all, neither has Feifei, not one bit, just got a bit plumper, which looks even better."

Zhong Anmei enthusiastically greeted them, sizing up Sisi and Shangguan, feeling extremely envious. After having children, her waist thickened, her chest sagged, and she gained more belly fat, which really worried her.

"You haven’t changed either, still so pretty. It seems our second elder brother treats you quite well," Sisi teased.

Zhong Anmei’s face flushed instantly, but her skin was much thicker than before, and she retorted without showing weakness, "And Sisi, isn’t that thanks to your Tian Xinhua?"

This seasoned lady who had lived two lifetimes wouldn’t be fazed by such an innocent naughty joke, and she seriously said, "Exactly, if men don’t love, women won’t glow!"

Both Shangguan and Zhong Anmei were initially startled, then they both blushed simultaneously and threw playful punches her way, Sisi really was becoming more unrestrained.

Meanwhile, Du Du and the other little ones had already run off to eat watermelon under Brother Tie Dan’s supervision, while Sisi slowly drove following behind Zhong Anmei.
