Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Ji Qinglan opened the exquisite menu and unexpectedly found that the order was in French. She remained calm and took the initiative to order a few of the restaurant's signature dishes.

She spoke fluent French, which surprised Zhou Hanyi again. Even Zhou Hanxuan looked at her sideways. They didn't expect that Ji Qinglan could speak not only English but also fluent French.

Zhou Hanxuan looked at the English menu in her hand with a dark look in her eyes, knowing that it was her second sister who did it on purpose again. She wanted to embarrass Ji Qinglan, but why did she do that?

Unconsciously, my dissatisfaction with my second sister increased. Not only did she come uninvited, but she also found fault again and again to show off her superiority, and in the end I became a clown.

However, Ji Qinglan's ability really shocked her. She originally thought that the most important friend in her fiancé's mouth was just someone with a little status in the mainland. As a result, Ji Qinglan was not inferior to the current Hong Kong elite in terms of ability or taste.

Zhou Hanyi smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Ji to know French. It's really surprising."

"What's the big deal? In addition to French, my sister also taught herself German, Russian, and Japanese..." Qiao Shaorong looked like he was ignorant.

The cultural level of inland people is so high now? Zhou Hanyi was speechless and shut himself in.

Ji Qinglan's table manners were beyond doubt. She had learned them from the system video and had also been to Lao Mo's restaurant with Xiao Yi. Zhou Hanyi was really overthinking it to think that she would make fun of him in this regard.

Zhou Hanxuan also breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Ji Qinglan, finally having a safe lunch.

Ji Qinglan proposed to visit the elders of the Qiao family and visit Old Man Qiao. Last month, due to health reasons, Old Man Qiao was taken to Gangcheng for recuperation by Qiao Shaorong and will return to Yanjing when spring comes next year.

Zhou Hanyi pulled Zhou Hanxuan and said with a smile, "Third sister, didn't you promise me that you would go try on a dress?"

Qiao Shaorong looked over and said to Zhou Hanxuan, "Xuanxuan, you just go with Second Sister! I'll go back with Sister Qinglan."

Zhou Hanxuan nodded.

When there were only two of them left, Zhou Hanxuan broke away from Zhou Erjie with a grim look on her face.

"Second sister, when did I promise you that I would go try on a dress?"

Zhou Hanyi smiled nonchalantly: "It was just now, they have already left, it's too late for you to chase them."

"Second sister, what do you mean? Sister Qinglan is Shao Rong's distinguished guest, why do you have to make such an ugly scene?"

Zhou Hanyi: "Third sister, what's your attitude? I'm supporting you. Qiao Shaorong brought her here. Who knows what their relationship is? And you were asked to come out and receive her. I really don't know what you're thinking. There are so many people chasing you, but you chose Qiao Shaorong. You attach so much importance to a person from the mainland."

In Zhou Hanyi's opinion, Ji Qinglan's face, which is no less beautiful than that of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, is a threat to Zhou Hanxuan. Qiao Shaorong attaches great importance to Ji Qinglan, but her silly sister treats him as a distinguished guest. She is really stupid.

Similarly, Zhou Hanxuan was speechless about Zhou Hanyi. Did this serve as a warning to him?

If a person is stupid and likes to act up, he is nothing.

Her second sister couldn't tell the difference between the big and small Wang. No matter how important Ji Qinglan was, she was still a relative of Shao Rong. How much relationship did she have with their Zhou family? Her second sister actually tried to create hatred. What would Shao Rong think?

Ji Qinglan is on good terms with the Qiao family, but not with their Zhou family. Does Zhou Hanyi think that Ji Qinglan will come to curry favor with the Zhou family?

"Second sister, let me say it again, Shao Rong and I are in love with each other, and his friends are my friends."

Zhou Hanyi felt that her third sister had become love-brained. The Qiao family was not as powerful as the Zhou family, nor was their financial resources or social status as good as the Zhou family. So what did she like about Qiao Shaorong? Was it because of his face?

The third sister was completely devoted to this man and fell in love with him at first sight; his face was indeed very advantageous.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Don't take Qiao Shaorong too seriously. Every little person is an important friend. You'll suffer in the future."

Zhou Hanxuan pursed her lips and said nothing. There was no point in saying anything if there was nothing she was talking about.

The second sister just looks down on people coming from the mainland, thinking that they are poor and ignorant. However, she doesn't realize that the ordinary hairpins on their heads and the inconspicuous bracelets on their wrists are worth all the jewelry that the second sister has.

The second sister's eyes have been blinded by prejudice and she can't see Ji Qinglan's shining points.

Zhou Hanxuan left on the pretext of having something to do at the company, and the two sisters parted unhappily, and the dress-trying matter naturally came to nothing.

Here, Qiao Shaorong took Ji Qinglan to the Qiao family mansion. In the car, Qiao Shaorong apologized for today's unpleasantness.

Ji Qinglan didn't care. Why would she be angry at such an insignificant person?

"I don't take it seriously. Miss Zhou is a good girl. You are lucky."

Qiao Shaorong chuckled, his smile getting bigger and bigger, and said to Ji Qinglan: "Hanxuan and I fell in love at first sight, who told me that I'm handsome."

Qiao Shaorong felt that he had overpraised himself, so he secretly glanced at Ji Qinglan from the rearview mirror and said to himself, "Actually, my brother-in-law is also very handsome."

Being handsome and in a high position is the correct way to be a man.

Ji Qinglan laughed, this sentence successfully pleased her.

On the way, Ji Qinglan asked Qiao Shaorong to stop the car, and when he got back in, he was holding a large stack of information.

The money for buying the information was brought back by Xiao Yi yesterday. Xiao Yi asked Yu Ting to exchange it for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for her.

Qiao Shaorong restarted the car and thought Ji Qinglan was reading a celebrity magazine, so he couldn't help but say, "Sister Qinglan, you like to read celebrity magazines too. I have a signed album of Teresa Teng, I'll give it to you."

"No, I read financial magazines and current affairs news. I'm not interested in celebrities."

Being a star will only affect the speed at which she makes money.

Qiao Shaorong: ...

Sure enough, his sister is a different sister.

"Shao Rong, do you know any stock managers? I want to buy some stocks."

Qiao Shaorong's heart trembled. He didn't expect Ji Qinglan to be interested in this. He thought about it and wanted to persuade Ji Qinglan to quit. After all, the stock market is a very complicated business and he would get deeper and deeper into it.

The two stocks he bought were stuck and he suffered a lot of losses.

"Sister Qinglan, buying stocks is not that easy. It's easy to lose everything."

Ji Qinglan knew this of course, but she was well prepared, she had a master!

515 found her a lot of financial information, and based on some information she knew from her previous life, she decided to play it safe. She might not make a huge profit from the money she invested, but there would be a chance to earn some start-up capital, so that her plan to build a factory could be implemented in the future.

Relying solely on Shen Chang and Zhang Jianguo to sell electrical appliances, the speed at which funds could be accumulated would not meet her requirements.

However, she couldn't tell Qiao Shaorong about this, so she just made an excuse: "Of course I know this, and I've read a lot of information. I just want to give it a try. Don't try to persuade me. If I lose, I'll take it as a lesson learned and never touch this again."

Qiao Shaorong had no way to persuade him, so he could only recommend his stock manager. However, buying stocks required a Hong Kong account, which involved opening a bank account. Ji Qinglan had a mainland account, which was very troublesome.

Ji Qinglan thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any way to get a Hong Kong hukou?"

"Okay, but it'll cost some money."

"Money is not a problem, help me do it as soon as possible." Ji Qinglan waved her hand. Once here, she was like a fish in the sea, and her system backpack was full of money.

Seeing that Ji Qinglan didn't care at all, Qiao Shaorong just smiled and said nothing. His sister has always been short of money.

Ji Qinglan also gave himself a name, Xin Sheng.

Newborn means new life.

Qiao Shaorong: Xin Sheng, a freshman, is also very good!

He contacted them immediately and asked them to help him with the process right away.

The Qiao family also has some connections in this regard. As long as they are willing to spend money, there is nothing they can't do.

Qiao Shaorong recommended two stable stocks he had bought to Ji Qinglan, and talked about his own experience of Waterloo in the stock market, trying to dissuade a novice who wanted to dive in headfirst.

Unfortunately, Ji Qinglan remained unmoved.

Soon, the car arrived at Deep Water Bay, where the Qiao family’s villa was.

In their early years, Qiao's father and mother moved their family business from the mainland to Hong Kong City. After years of hard work, they created a considerable family business. Now the Qiao family is also a well-known figure in Hong Kong City.

The car drove directly into the Qiao family villa, and Qiao Shaorong personally opened the car door for Ji Qinglan.

"Sister Qinglan, we're here. Grandpa is waiting for you in the hall."

The butler, dressed in a neat black suit, was waiting respectfully at the door and bowed slightly to Ji Qinglan.

Ji Qinglan nodded in greeting. She was not very used to this. In the mainland, everyone was equal and there was no such etiquette.

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. She will abide by what is here.

"Mr. Qiao." Ji Qinglan called out.

"Qinglan is here, please sit down." Old Master Qiao sat on a gorgeous European-style sofa, wearing glasses, and looked in good spirits.

Ji Qinglan walked over and asked with concern: "Mr. Qiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you feeling better? Mr. Li is worried about you."

"I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern." Old Master Qiao was happy. Finally, there was someone he was familiar with here.

Ji Qinglan took out a small box and handed it to the table next to Mr. Qiao and said to him, "Mr. Li is worried about your health, so he asked me to bring you some ginseng nourishing pills."

"He's thoughtful. How are Xiao Xincheng and Xiao Yi? I haven't seen them for a long time."

Old Qiao took it and handed it to his grandson behind him, asking him to put it away.

The ginseng nourishing pills prepared by Mr. Li himself are a good thing that others would beg for, so Mr. Qiao naturally likes them.

"They are all fine. They were very worried when they heard that you were sick."

"They are all minor problems. Shao Rong is making a fuss and insisting that I come over."

When Qiao's mother went downstairs, she saw the woman chatting happily with her father-in-law in the living room. She knew it was Ji Qinglan, whom her son valued very much.

She went downstairs warmly and said to Ji Qinglan with a smile: "This is Qinglan! What a nice girl."

She has an elegant and refined temperament, is gentle and dignified, and makes people feel friendly at first sight.

"Hello, Aunt Qiao! I am Ji Qinglan." Ji Qinglan stood up.

"Qinglan, please sit down. My old man and Shaorong are in the mainland, thanks to you for taking care of them. We should thank you."

Mr. Qiao was not at home as he was taking care of company affairs, so Mrs. Qiao was talking to Ji Qinglan.

Ji Qinglan also brought them gifts.

Mr. Qiao liked drinking tea, so she gave him two boxes of special tea that she got from brother-in-law Jiang.

The gift prepared for Qiao's mother was a round fan with double-sided embroidery, and the gift prepared for Qiao's father was a Hero brand fountain pen.

The gift was not expensive, but Qiao's mother liked it. She was originally from the mainland and missed things from the mainland, which she had not seen for many years.

Ji Qinglan brought her things from her hometown.

She liked Ji Qinglan even more, talked to her for a long time, and then ordered the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After Qiao Shaorong brought his grandfather's ginseng nourishing pills downstairs, Old Man Qiao asked him to take the two boxes of tea back to his room.

Qiao Shaorong...

Very good, his grandfather is up to his tricks again.

Can't the tea be placed in the tea room downstairs? Wouldn't it be good for the family to drink it together? Why should it be left for one person to enjoy alone?

Isn't he, a coffee drinker, worthy of tea?

However, he dared not disobey his grandfather's order, so he had to accept his fate and take it to his grandfather's room on the second floor.

When Qiao's father came back in the evening, the family welcomed Ji Qinglan. They had heard about Ji Qinglan from their son a long time ago, and they also knew the family background of the Xiao and Jiang families, so they had great goodwill towards Ji Qinglan.

At night, Ji Qinglan was originally going to stay in a hotel; however, Qiao's mother insisted on asking her to stay at home because she was worried about her being alone.

Ji Qinglan couldn't refuse and had to stay at the Qiao family.

The next day, Ji Qinglan was waiting for her new identity. Before the new identity came out, she could not do anything for the time being.

At seven o'clock in the morning, estimating Xiao Yi's schedule, she called Xiao Yi back and the two chatted for a long time.

Xiao Yi felt relieved when he learned that she lived in Qiao's house.

Ji Qinglan accompanied Mr. Qiao in his morning exercises in the garden and had breakfast with him.

Old Mr. Qiao is very happy, but in fact he is also very bored here. His son and daughter-in-law are busy with work, and his grandson often travels back and forth to Guangzhou. He doesn't even have anyone to talk to, and he is not used to the food and lifestyle. It is really not as comfortable as in the mainland.

He was very happy that Ji Qinglan came.

He sent his grandson to act as Ji Qinglan's tour guide and show Ji Qinglan around.

In the evening, I made an appointment with Zhou Hanxuan to go to the Victoria rooftop revolving restaurant for dinner and watch the night view.

This time without Zhou Hanyi, Ji Qinglan and Zhou Hanxuan had a great chat and even went shopping together. The two women were so excited that they visited all seven floors of the mall and bought a lot of things.

Qiao Shaorong followed behind with more than twenty shopping bags, looking hopeless.

He finally understood what his dad said about shopping with a woman being more desperate than running ten kilometers with a ten-kilogram weight.

In the evening, Qiao Shaorong and Ji Qinglan sent Zhou Hanxuan back home. Zhou Hanxuan did not live in the Zhou family, but in an apartment she bought herself.

Ji Qinglan drank coffee and looked at the interior furnishings. The simple Chinese style was unique in its flavor.

Zhou Hanxuan said embarrassedly: "This place is so simple, I'm sorry to make Sister Qinglan laugh. I heard that Sister Qinglan lives in a big house in the mainland?"

"Yes, I personally prefer living in a bungalow." Ji Qinglan replied, glancing at Qiao Shaorong inconspicuously.

She didn't expect that Qiao Shaorong would even tell Zhou Hanxuan this.

Zhou Hanxuan was very curious about Ji Qinglan's magnificent courtyard house that her fiancé had mentioned. Qiao Shaorong also said that it was the residence where officials of the imperial court used to live. She wanted to know more but felt it would be rude.

Ji Qinglan said, "The Qiao family also has a courtyard house with a spacious space. I hope Miss Zhou will have a chance to visit Yanjing in the future. Maybe Miss Zhou will like some of the designs there. Our ancestors liked to design jewelry using traditional culture."

Zhou Hanxuan blushed all of a sudden and glanced at Qiao Shaorong.

Qiao Shaorong said quickly, "I have renovated the old house. Although it is not as good as Sister Qinglan's house, it is also good. Xuanxuan, you are the hostess there, you can go there anytime."

Zhou Hanxuan's face turned even redder, and she just whispered that she was busy with work without giving a direct answer.

In fact, everyone thought that she fell in love with Qiao Shaorong at first sight, but in fact, she had known Qiao Shaorong for a long time.

When she was studying in the UK, she was a junior of Qiao Shaorong. At that time, she was attracted by the sunny and handsome Qiao Shaorong, but at that time Qiao Shaorong was surrounded by stars and never noticed her.
