When Zhou Chao landed at the airport, it was already 2 o’clock in the afternoon. During the flight, he had a boxed meal.

Besides the airport, Zhou Chao also called for a luxurious private car, um, a Mercedes-Benz E300.

Seeing that it was an elite gentleman, the two of them had a pleasant conversation along the way. Zhou Chao learned that the man worked in the field of design, and his company was quite famous, although Zhou Chao wasn’t familiar with it.

They chatted like this, and time quickly passed. The car arrived at a courtyard by the canal.

“Please stop here. Thank you!” Zhou Chao paid and entered the password while carrying his luggage, then walked inside.

“My goodness, I didn’t expect you to be such a big shot. Why didn’t you give me your business card earlier? At least leave an impression!” The elite man sighed and drove away.

As soon as he entered, Zhou Chao saw Aunt Wang in the courtyard, holding a small net and fishing out floating leaves from the water.

“Mr. Zhou, you’re back!” Aunt Wang was also surprised; it had been almost three months since she last saw Zhou Chao at work.

“Well, Aunt Wang, has everything been okay at home lately?”

“There’s nothing major, except that the Shoufu somehow got involved with a very beautiful little female cat. It often runs outside recently!” Aunt Wang had a smile on her face.

“A beautiful little female cat?” Zhou Chao became interested, not expecting that the Shoufu would try to charm other female cats.

“Its fur is all pure white, and its eyes are of different colors. It looks remarkably good!”

“Heterochromia!” Zhou Chao hadn’t owned other cats, but he had heard of cats having eyes of different colors, which were quite attractive.

“I see.” Zhou Chao nodded and walked inside.

After putting his luggage in the bedroom and tidying up his clothes, he took out the clothes he needed to wash and planned to hand them over to Aunt Wang later.

He looked around and found that the house was still very clean. Then he headed downstairs with the clothes.

“Aunt Wang, these clothes will need to be washed later!”

“Mr. Zhou, wait until 1 finish cleaning outside, and I’ll take care of it!

“No rush!”

Zhou Chao thought of the alcoholic gifts he had received last time. He headed to the wine cellar, looked around, and found the same place where the gifts were stored. Apart from red wine, there was mostly Maotai, with all the varieties available in the market, ranging from six to seven bottles at most, to one or two bottles at least.

Among them, there were multiple varieties from the 80s, including Nine Dragons Ink Treasure and “80s,” which could be considered as collectible quality. There was also a set of “Fifty-Six Ethnic Groups” and an 8o-year-old Maotai.

He spent nearly half an hour in the wine cellar, completely satisfied, and then walked out. Just as he left the wine cellar, Zhou Chao seemed to remember something and went back inside.

In no time, Zhou Chao came out carrying a box containing top-quality Maotai, including Nine Dragons Ink Treasure, “80s,” and an 8o-year-old aged Maotai, among others.

“Aunt Wang, I’m going out for a while. 1’11 probably be back later!”

“Mr. Zhou, are you coming back for dinner tonight?”

“At this moment, I’m not sure. I’ll call you later. Most likely, I will have dinner at home, and I’ll invite some friends over if 1 do!” Zhou Chao contemplated for a moment and decided to let Aunt Wang prepare some dishes just in case.

“Only you know about this place. If my liquor goes missing, you’ll be in big trouble!” With a fierce look in his eyes, Xiao Lao made Zhou Chao unconsciously swallow hard.

“Ho... How could that happen? 1 would never!”

Xiao Lao led the way back. After lying back on the rattan chair, glanced at Zhou Chao and immediately said, “You lad, you didn’t come here without an apparent reason. What do you want? Just say it!”

Zhou Chao was a bit taken aback by these words. In reality, he didn’t have any specific purpose for coming today; he simply wanted to deliver the wine.

Xiao Lao, upon seeing Zhou Chao’s bewildered expression, quickly grasped the situation.

“You wouldn’t have come all this way just to bring me a bottle of wine, would you?”

Zhou Chao nodded and replied, “Well, I thought I’d drop by to see you since I just returned to Jingdu today.”

Xiao Lao raised an eyebrow, asking, “Why didn’t you go see your father-in-law first? Why bother coming to my place?”

“Jiang Li is only coming back tomorrow, so we’ll visit him then. Besides, 1 just got my hands on some excellent wine, and I thought of you right away.”

“Well, at least you’ve got a bit of a conscience. You’re thinking of an old man like me. Unlike your brother, Xiao Yang, who’s constantly scheming to get his hands on my good liquor. He’s been driving me crazy!” Xiao Lao emphasized his point by tapping the table beside him, causing Zhou Chao to startle.

“Do you want to stay for dinner tonight?”

Hearing Xiao Lao invitation, Zhou Chao contemplated for a moment and then shook his head.

“Grandpa, I may not be able to make it tonight. I have something else to do. I’ll come by another day to have a drink with you.”

Sure, young people should have some energy!”

After chatting with Xiao Lao for another half an hour, Zhou Chao took his leave. Before leaving, he even got five special cigarettes from the old man.

Watching Zhou Chao walk away with a cigarette in his mouth, Xiao Lao couldn’t help but smile.

As Zhou Chao was about to leave, he opened one of the cigarettes, tossed two packs to the guards at the entrance, and disappeared into the alley under their watchful eyes.

“Aunt Wang, please prepare some dishes for dinner tonight. We’ll have it at home, and there will be about four people. Make some dishes suitable for drinking,” Zhou Chao called the housekeeper, Aunt Wang, as soon as he got in the car.

Then he scrolled through his contact list and found a familiar name. He dialed the number.

“Hey, buddy, I’ve returned to Beijing. Do you have some free time today?”

“Yeah, just got back today. I happen to need a favor from you and Ma Wei. Can you guys come over to my place tonight for a drink?”

“Of course, we’ll make time, buddy. Even if we’re busy, we’ll squeeze it in for you!” Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s invitation, Yu Qian couldn’t possibly refuse, even if there were no performances scheduled.

“Great, give Ma Wei a call for me. I won’t call him. I’m still outside, heading home now.”

“No problem, I’ll call him, you don’t worry.” Yu Qian readily took on the task.

“See you tonight!”

“See you tonight!”

Zhou Chao hung up the phone and started driving back home.

By the time Zhou Chao returned home, it was nearly 5 o’clock. Aunt Wang was already busy in the kitchen, preparing the dishes. Zhou Chao walked around and noticed that everything was almost ready. He went out of the kitchen and sat down on the sofa.

Before he could settle into his seat, the doorbell rang..This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
