Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The bell for the last class rang softly like a messenger of spring.

As soon as this melodious sound reached Zhong Yuemin's ears, his whole body instantly became light, as if a tender willow branch was caressed by the warm spring breeze.

Zhong Yuemin raised the corners of his mouth and hummed a cheerful little tune. His steps seemed to be stepping on clouds. He rode his motorcycle briskly and nimbly towards home.

At this moment, the irrepressible joy in Zhong Yuemin's heart was like a clear spring gurgling in his heart, and it seemed that it was about to burst out and submerge him completely.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Zhong Yuemin saw that Chen Yijun had already brought the cute little Shihua and the lively little Haichen back home safely from school. At this time, Chen Yijun was wearing an apron and busy preparing a sumptuous dinner in the kitchen.

When he heard Zhong Yuemin's familiar footsteps, Chen Yijun stopped what he was doing, poked his head out with a smile, and his face, which had gone through years but was still gentle and kind, showed concern and curiosity. "Yuemin, what good thing happened to you today? Look how happy you are."

At the same time, Xiao Shihua, who was writing homework seriously at the desk, immediately put down the pen and homework book in her hand, and ran to Zhong Yuemin like a happy little rabbit.

Little Shihua raised her chubby little face and blinked her big, bright eyes, which were full of curiosity and expectation for her father. "Yes, Dad! What on earth can make you so happy? I haven't seen you so happy for a long time."

Zhong Yuemin stretched out his arms without hesitation, hugged Xiao Shihua tightly in his arms, and kissed her delicate little face affectionately.

Then, Zhong Yuemin's face lit up with his signature bright smile, and he announced excitedly, "Mom, girls, I have great news to tell you - I successfully obtained a master's degree today!"

Xiao Shihua's big watery eyes were blinking as she looked around curiously.

At this moment, Xiao Haichen came out of the house, and their eyes met unexpectedly and looked at each other. Their little faces were full of confusion and puzzlement, as if the world was full of countless question marks.

After all, they were still young and had no idea about such a profound concept as a master's degree. However, when they saw their father's ecstatic look, they couldn't help but giggle, and their innocent smiles were as bright as the sun.

When Chen Yijun heard the news, the joy in her heart instantly erupted like a volcano. She widened her eyes and said with surprise, "Really? That's great! This is definitely a big happy event worth celebrating! Yuemin, how about we celebrate tonight? I'll go to the kitchen now to prepare a few of my specialties so that our family can enjoy this happy moment to the fullest."

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand quickly. "Mom, please stop busying yourself. Let's go out to eat today, let's go to Zui Xiang Lou."

When Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen heard that they were going to Zui Xiang Lou, they danced with joy and cheered in unison. "Great, great, we haven't been there for a long time, and I'm starting to miss the delicious meals that Grandpa Gao made."

After hearing this, Chen Yijun couldn't help but fondly tap the two little guys' foreheads, and said with a smile, "You two little greedy cats, all you know is eating."

But her eyes were full of love for the children. The whole room was filled with a strong atmosphere of happiness, and everyone's face was filled with warm smiles.

Zhong Yuemin smiled, his fingers gently touching the edge of the phone, wondering how Zhou Xiaobai would react after hearing the good news. He took a deep breath, confirmed the phone number again, and then dialed the direct line to Zhou Xiaobai's office.

On the other end of the line, the ring rang four times before Zhou Xiaobai's familiar and slightly formal voice finally came. "Hello! Hello, this is Jinqiu County Government. Who are you looking for?"

Zhong Yuemin raised the corner of his mouth, deliberately lowered his voice, and said with a hint of mischief, "Wife, it's me. Have you not finished get off work yet? Are you working overtime again and have you forgotten our family's principle of 'getting off work on time'?"

When Zhou Xiaobai heard that it was Zhong Yuemin, his tone immediately softened, with a hint of apology and a smile. "Yuemin, it's you! If you're any later, I'll have to go back. You know that sometimes you can't help yourself when you're working in the government. Is there something wrong with you calling at this time? Are your daughter and son making trouble again?"

Zhong Yuemin heard this and pretended to be wronged and said, "Wife, you said this. Can't I call you if nothing happens? I am so sad to hear you say that! My heart is so cold, I need your warmth to thaw it!"

Zhou Xiaobai was amused and chuckled a few times. "Ha...ha...Yuemin, please stop being funny. Your daughter and son are still here, right? Don't let them hear what you're saying, or they'll follow your example and become bad people."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen seemed to have heard a call, and ran to the phone, shouting one after another, "Mom, Mom, Dad said he got a master's degree today, Dad is so happy!"

Zhong Yuemin felt warm at heart as he listened to the children's voices. "Look, the children can't wait to share my joy with you. Today, your husband officially got his master's degree. How about that? Isn't it great?"

Zhou Xiaobai was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then his voice was full of pride and joy. "Really? Yuemin, you are amazing! I have always believed that you have this ability. We must celebrate when we come back tonight and let the children feel this joy."

Zhong Yuemin nodded repeatedly. Although Zhou Xiaobai couldn't see it, he still made sure to do it. "Of course, we'll go to Zui Xiang Lou tonight. It's a pity that you're not here!"

"Okay, okay, next time we meet, I will make it up to you."

"Mom, mom, this exam..." The phone was taken back by the two little ones.

Half an hour later, Zhong Yuemin stood in the living room of his home, holding the phone in his hand, with his signature cynical smile on his face, and started dialing Zheng Tong's home.

"Hello! Zheng Tong, what are you doing?" Zhong Yuemin's voice came through the phone line, with a bit of teasing and casualness.

"I was just about to cook. Why are you calling me now? Do you want to eat for free again?" Zheng Tong joked, but there was a hint of intimacy in his tone.

Zhong Yuemin was immediately amused when he heard this. "Fuck! Is the food you cook good enough? Don't bring disaster to my future daughter-in-law. I can't praise your cooking skills."

When Zheng Tong heard this, he immediately quit. "Fuck you! You don't know how to cook! Let's get down to business. Is there anything wrong? If not, I'm going to hang up. I'm busy now!"

Seeing his friend getting anxious, Zhong Yuemin quickly apologized with a smile. "Don't worry, Zheng Tong. Stop cooking, bring Jiang Biyun and your daughter, and let's go to Zui Xiang Lou in Beihai Hotel. I'll treat you to dinner today to celebrate my master's degree."

Zheng Tong's tone immediately became excited when he heard this. "Fuck! Why didn't you say it earlier? You've been wasting your time here. I thought you were going to complain to me about something! It's really unfair that someone like you can get a master's degree."

Zhong Yuemin laughed and said jokingly, "Damn it, I got it with my own strength. I won't tell you any more. Hurry up and don't dawdle. We haven't been together for a long time."

Zheng Tong was obviously also infected by Zhong Yuemin's enthusiasm, and his tone was a little excited. "Okay! I'll go call Jiang Biyun and my daughter, and we'll meet at Zui Xiang Lou!"

After hanging up Zheng Tong's call, Zhong Yuemin, with a smile on his face, quickly dialed Yuan Jun's number. "Hello! Yuan Jun, are you in Beijing?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Yuan Jun seemed to be bored and replied lazily, "I'm here! What do you want from me?"

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he immediately laughed. "Fuck! You bastard, I'm inviting you to dinner, are you coming?" There was a hint of provocation in his tone, as well as some certainty that Yuan Jun would definitely come.

When Yuan Jun heard this, he immediately became alert. "Fuck! Someone invited me to dinner and I didn't go? That's something a fool would do, right? Is it Zui Xiang Lou in Beihai Hotel? If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't go."

Zhong Yuemin laughed. "Fuck! You're quite picky. Don't worry, it's Zui Xiang Lou in Beihai Hotel. Let's have a good meal."

After hanging up the phone with Yuan Jun, he dialed Li Kuiyong's number.

On the other end of the phone, Li Kuiyong's voice still sounded calm and firm. "Hello, Yuemin, what can I do for you?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "Kui Yong, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner at Zui Xiang Lou in Beihai Hotel. Let's have a good time together."

"Okay, be there on time."

Zhong Yuemin had just hung up the phone and was about to turn around to see what Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen were doing when the phone on the table suddenly rang again.

Zhong Yuemin smiled helplessly and said to himself, "I'm quite busy today. Whose call is this?"

Zhong Yuemin quickly picked up the phone, with a hint of curiosity in his voice. "Hello! I'm Zhong Yuemin, who are you?"

A playful female voice came from the other end of the phone. "Then guess who I am?"

Zhong Yuemin's mind moved, and then he smiled. "Is there anything wrong with Avril? Why did you call at this time?"

Avril was obviously a little disappointed with his directness, and said coquettishly, "How boring! Can't you just pretend?"

Zhong Yuemin laughed even more heartily when he heard this. "Hehe... I won't be fooled by you. If I can't guess it, I don't know what you will say!"

Avril smiled softly on the other end of the phone, and then changed the subject. "Hate it! Yuemin, I have good news for you. The financing of the Japanese real estate company has been basically negotiated. I estimate that someone will notify you soon."

Zhong Yuemin smiled faintly when he heard this. "Really? That's good! You've been worrying about this a lot during this period of time."

Avril also seemed very happy on the other end of the phone. "Yes, we finally got a good result. You should also prepare yourself. I guess we will move on to the next step soon."

Zhong Yuemin nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I'm always available. As soon as the news comes, we will take action immediately."

"Yuemin, when did you......"

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yuemin felt even happier. Today is such a good day, full of happy events!

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire room. Zhong Yuemin was preparing to take Chen Yijun, Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen to Beihai Hotel to celebrate.

However, at this critical moment, the phone rang again, breaking the silence at home.

Xiao Haichen pouted and complained quietly, "Who is calling? It's just delaying our dinner."

Mother-in-law Chen Yijun heard this and patted him lightly, gently admonishing him, "You are impolite, aren't you? What did your grandma teach you? You should respect others and not complain casually."

Xiao Haichen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized. "Grandma, I know, I shouldn't have said that."

Zhong Yuemin had already walked to the phone and picked up the receiver, his voice filled with apology and inquiry. "Hello! This is Zhong Yuemin. Who are you looking for?"

A steady voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mr. Zhong, this is Li Wenbo."

Zhong Yuemin already knew why Li Wenbo called, but he still pretended to know nothing. "Wenbo, what's the matter?"

Li Wenbo's voice was filled with urgency. "Mr. Zhong, I have something urgent to discuss with you. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Well, go ahead! I'm listening."

Li Wenbo continued on the other end of the phone. "Mr. Zhong, there is news from Takehara Masaaki in Japan. The financing has been negotiated, and all the terms are in accordance with your requirements. Takehara Masaaki asked me to ask, can we officially start the financing process?"

"Yes, of course."

"Mr. Zhong, should I go there too?"

Zhong Yuemin thought about it and felt that Li Wenbo's suggestion made sense. After all, Le Jizhong was not good at this, and having Li Wenbo go there would indeed help promote the progress of financing. "Then please go there, thank you for your hard work."

Li Wenbo said quickly, "It's not hard, Mr. Zhong. It's my honor to work for you."

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "Okay, then arrange your trip as soon as possible. When you arrive in Japan, we can discuss the next plan in detail."

"Okay, Mr. Zhong, I won't bother you anymore." Li Wenbo said and hung up the phone.

Zhong Yuemin, Chen Yijun, Xiao Shihua and Xiao Haichen arrived at Beihai Hotel on time. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Zheng Tong, Yuan Jun and Li Kuiyong, who had been waiting for a long time with their wives and children.

As soon as Zheng Tong saw Zhong Yuemin, he joked, "Yuemin, why did you come just now? We have been waiting for so long that the flowers have gone cold."

Zhong Yuemin responded with a smile. "Come on! Daylily is originally cold, how can it be hot?"

Yuan Jun interrupted, "Yuemin, stop talking nonsense. We need to eat and drink well today."

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin waved his hand and said with great pride, "Drink as much wine as you want tonight, order as much food as you want, as long as everyone is happy."

This time when they came to Beihai Hotel, there was no need to look for Gao Songshan. As soon as the waiter saw it was him, he greeted him warmly and led them directly to Zui Xiang Lou on the third floor.

Zui Xiang Lou was elegantly decorated and had a quiet environment. After Zhong Yuemin and his group sat down, they began to order dishes.
