Reborn at 90, taking space to counterattack and become rich

"Are you going home now? I'll take you to the station?"

Lu Chengyuan stood between the two of them, keeping their eyes away from each other: "If it's later, your grandpa will be anxious."

"Brother Chengyuan, my grandfather won't worry about me. I usually exercise and my physical fitness is very good."

Cheng Jiaxuan packed his schoolbag.

He naturally walked around the man and said with a smile, "Tangtang saw my abdominal muscles last time."

After saying that, as if he wanted to prove himself, he touched the girl with his arm, "Tangtang, tell Brother Chengyuan quickly, do I have abdominal muscles?"

"Ah - this..."

Xia Chutang was extremely embarrassed, but seeing Cheng Jiaxuan's expectant face, she could only smile awkwardly: "Yes! Cough."

Lu Chengyuan smiled lightly and said, "It seems that you are indeed 'good' friends."

"of course."

Cheng Jiaxuan took over the conversation, "Tangtang and I are as close as you and Sister Miaoyu before."

Lu Chengyuan: "..."

Xia Chutang could clearly feel that the air pressure on Lu Chengyuan instantly dropped several degrees.

Miaoyu? Who is this?

It was good before, so is it still good now?

"Tangtang, you don't have to send me out. Brother Chengyuan can just send me out."

Before leaving, Cheng Jiaxuan very thoughtfully took out a stack of test papers and gave them to the girl.

"This is the question type that I helped you sort out yesterday when you didn't come to the competition class. If you have time, you can do it. If not, I will explain it to you when you go to school tomorrow."

"Ah... thank you so much." Xia Chutang was flattered.

My deskmate is too good!

Not only did he help her with her academic problems, but she also helped her sort out the questions for the competition.

Xia Chutang was extremely grateful, "Thank you, Cheng Jiaxuan."

Cheng Jiaxuan showed a gentle smile, "Why are you being polite to me? Tangtang, I am your deskmate and friend."

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay! Can you go downstairs?"

Lu Chengyuan locked the door with a blank look on his face: "Do you need me to boil a pot of water for you, set a table, and you have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Xia Chutang: "...No, no need."

"Brother Chengyuan, you really like to joke. Then Tangtang, I'm leaving." Cheng Jiaxuan waved goodbye.

Lu Chengyuan walked behind the young man. When he went downstairs, his eyes suddenly moved up and he glanced at the girl standing in the corridor.

The deep eyes were stern, like a parent warning a child.

When Xia Chutang received this look, her scalp tightened and she quickly entered the house.

When I walked to the station, the car hadn't arrived yet.

Cheng Jiaxuan looked at the man, smiled and joked: "Brother Chengyuan, do you have many admirers in the hospital?"

Lu Chengyuan raised his eyebrows: "Cheng Jiaxuan, do you think I will answer this boring question of yours?"

"Are you bored? That's because Brother Chengyuan, you have your heart set on something, right?"

Cheng Jiaxuan seemed not to notice the man's indifferent eyes and continued: "If Sister Miaoyu is still here, you..."

"Cheng Jiaxuan!" Lu Chengyuan roared.

People waiting for the bus at the station were attracted by the sound and turned around.

Lu Chengyuan suppressed his emotions and lowered his voice: "I have nothing to do with Lin Miaoyu. Besides, she is no longer here. I hope you can remain respectful and don't mention her casually."

"Brother Chengyuan respects Sister Miaoyu and doesn't let me mention it? Or is he afraid that Tangtang will know about it and won't let me say it?"

The corners of Cheng Jiaxuan's lips were still raised, and he suddenly asked, "Do you like Xiachu Candy?"

Lu Chengyuan: "..."

"Cheng Jiaxuan, you are a high school student now. What you should focus on is studying."

"My knowledge is more than enough to go to Beijing University now. Brother Chengyuan, aren't you unclear?"

Cheng Jiaxuan took a step forward, looked up at the man who was half a head taller than him, and smiled: "Or...are you guilty of changing the topic?"

Lu Chengyuan had a headache.

The young man in front of him was a younger brother to him, and he really didn't want to discuss this with a child.

"Lu Chengyuan, you must not like Tangtang. She is mine." Cheng Jiaxuan warned with a smile.

"Yours? Ha."

Lu Chengyuan laughed angrily at these domineering words.

"Cheng Jiaxuan, do you know what you are talking about? Let's not talk about your ages..."

"We are both seventeen and you are twenty-four."

Cheng Jiaxuan interrupted the man, approached him, and whispered, "Brother Chengyuan, you are older than us, and you are our brother. As an elder brother, you must set a good example, and you must not fall in love with the wrong person!"

The young man always kept a smile on his face, but what he said sent chills all over Lu Chengyuan: "If you want to reach out and snatch away the girl I like, then I can't guarantee what I can do."

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Chengyuan frowned: "Cheng Jiaxuan, don't mess around."

"I promised Tangtang that high school would only talk about studies and not about feelings. But...if someone destroys the harmony between us, then I won't rule out using some extraordinary means."

Cheng Jiaxuan said as if taking an oath: "Xia Chutang, she is mine, and she can only be my girl!"

Lu Chengyuan: "..."

The wind of late autumn carried the desolation and the coldness of early winter. Lu Chengyuan stood alone at the station for a long time...

Cheng Jiaxuan's parents died when he was young, and he has been living with Mr. Cheng. Cheng Yu is also one of Lu Chengyuan's mentors.

Lu Chengyuan watched Cheng Jiaxuan grow up and regarded him as his younger brother.

Unexpectedly, the child who once hid behind him for protection could now face threats directly to him.

Lu Chengyuan originally wanted to go home, but after much deliberation, he finally went to the hospital office.

"Tangtang, when did you come back?"

Li Hui opened the bedroom door and saw her daughter sitting in the living room, showing a hint of embarrassment: "Why didn't you call me?"

"I called you twice..." Xia Chutang was speechless.

Li Hui blushed and glared at Zhuang Chengyu who came out together.

It's all this guy's fault for insisting that she listen to his recording of "The Moon Represents My Heart".

It must be that I didn’t hear my daughter’s voice because I was wearing headphones.

Zhuang Chengyu smiled and held the woman's hand, and said with a smile: "Tangtang, if you go to your classmate's house to do your homework and it's too late, just call me. I'll drive to pick you up so that your mother doesn't have to worry. Do you understand?"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhuang, I'll remember it." Xia Chutang was well-behaved and polite.

After a while, Li Hui sent Zhuang Chengyu back with a bouquet of perfume lilies in his hand.

Xia Chutang saw her mother humming a song and began to pack out a glass bottle, joking: "Ah, Uncle Zhuang is so romantic. But why didn't you send any roses?"

"Rose are expensive and I don't like the smell. This one is cheap and smells good." Li Hui replied happily.

"Tsk, tsk, you haven't even married Uncle Zhuang yet, and you're helping me save money? I'll tell grandma when I get back and let her see how reserved you are."

"Xia Chutang, are you excited?"

Li Hui shouted angrily, but the corners of his lips still couldn't stop rising.

After living two lives, Xia Chutang was so happy to see her mother for the first time. Her whole body seemed to be rejuvenated and she was several years younger.

"Tangtang, let's buy a vase too. It won't look good if you don't arrange flowers."

"Mom, it's useless to buy a vase. Can't you put cans in it too?"

In the past, Xia Chutang also proposed to buy a vase for her home, but she was dismissed as "impractical" and "wasteful".

Now when she heard Li Hui said she wanted to buy a vase, she immediately took revenge.

"The cans and bottles are not good-looking. Tangtang, not everything has to be practical, there are also some things that are meant to embellish our lives! You see... With this bouquet of lilies in our home, the whole home is a little more vibrant... …”

"Yes, yes, mom, everything you say is right."

Hearing that her mother could say such "sentimental" words, Xia Chutang felt that all her hard work in this life was worth it.

I hope my mother can always be a carefree and happy woman in this life.
