It has to be said that the Xiaoxue in front of me is completely different from the timid girl I knew back then.
This girl has undergone a complete transformation, both in appearance and personality.
Judging from Luo Wenjie's expression, he knew that bringing his daughter abroad to study was a worthwhile decision.
Chen Fan smiled and ruffled the other person's hair.
Xiaoxue's expression changed slightly, but she seemed to know Chen Fan's identity, so even though she was a little flustered, she didn't make any move.
Chen Fan chuckled and made a joke.
"The change is too great. If I walked down the street, even face to face, I probably wouldn't recognize him."
Brother Jie laughed and said, "This girl changes almost every day."
"Actually, she wasn't used to it when she first came here, but this girl is willing to work hard. Even though she couldn't speak the language, she started learning from scratch, word by word."
"Moreover, the school teachers said that this girl studies very hard. While others are playing during breaks, she stays in the classroom and studies by herself."
“With just half a minute of effort, this girl can basically communicate with people in English.”
Chen Fan smiled and gave Xiaoxue a thumbs up.
"I can't beat them. They're better than me. Back in school, English was torture for me."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After a brief chat, the women went into the kitchen to start preparing lunch.
Chen Fan and his friends sat under the parasols outside, smoking and discussing how to spend Christmas Eve.
...
While Chen Fan and his group were enjoying a lively Christmas Eve party in the United States, far across the ocean...
On the Yunhai side, Su Ruochu finished her morning work and walked out of the company with Li Na.
"Where should we eat later?" Li Na asked with a smile as they walked. "How about that new restaurant on the corner?"
Su Ruochu thought for a moment and said, "I suddenly want to eat noodles."
"Noodles?" Li Na was clearly taken aback for a moment. "Noodles or beef noodles?"
"Beef noodles".
Su Ruochu said with a smile, "I remember when I was in my first year of college, Chen Fan and I ate beef noodles together on Christmas night."
"At that time, neither of us had much money. Chen Fan was even poorer than me."
"We have limited living expenses, and Chen Fan wanted to go to a restaurant for a nice meal, but I didn't agree. In the end, I let him take me to eat beef noodles."
Li Na was both amused and exasperated.
"Big sister, today is the 26th. Christmas is long gone."
Su Ruochu pouted, "It's because I didn't have time yesterday. I was with the kids all day and didn't have time to go out, so I suddenly wanted to eat lunch today."
Li Na was somewhat helpless.
"I'm really impressed by you."
"You two have been married for several years, how come you still have such a deep affection for him?"
Seeing Su Ruochu secretly smiling, Li Na asked again with a smile.
"Chen Fan hasn't returned yet?"
"Um."
"Are you really comfortable letting him go to America alone?"
Li Na shook her head. "If I were you, I would go with you."
"Come on, this is the company's IPO! It's such an important moment. You should be wearing an evening gown, looking beautiful, standing by his side, and witnessing this moment with him."
Su Ruochu smiled and said, "He invited me before, but the child is too young and I really couldn't get away."
"Besides, I basically don't interfere in Chen Fan's business affairs. My current work is charity work, so it's not appropriate for me to appear in that kind of occasion."
Li Na sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, now I understand why Chen Fan is so fond of you."
"If I were a man, I would also be attracted to a girl as understanding as you."
"You're still interested? Your current task is to quickly find another man to marry..."
"Hmph. I'm not getting married. Right now, my son and I depend on each other for survival, and we're incredibly happy."
"Besides, what's so good about marrying a man? Apart from making you feel bad, I really can't think of any benefits to marrying a man."
At this point, Li Na glanced at Su Ruochu.
"That's one of those things, but nothing beats the stimulation of my mom using a cucumber."
"What if I encounter another situation like that and it doesn't work out? Wouldn't I be at an even greater loss..."
Su Ruochu first widened her eyes, then burst out laughing, blushing as she pinched Li Na.
"Ah...you...how can you say such nonsense?"
"Come on, this is on the street..."
Su Ruochu blushed deeply at these words.
Li Na, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned.
"Please. We're both married women. There's nothing wrong with that between men and women. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Su Ruochu covered her mouth, defeated by Li Na.
As the two were playfully bickering, Su Ruochu's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw a familiar figure.
"Miss Bai! Miss Bai, over here..."
Su Ruochu excitedly raised her hand and waved.
Across the street, Bai Qingci was passing by with a pretty bag on her shoulder. Hearing the sound, she turned to look in this direction.
Upon seeing Su Ruochu, Bai Qingci immediately smiled.
He crossed the road and came to the two people.
"Miss Su, what are you doing here?"
Su Ruochu pointed to the building not far away.
"We just finished our shift and were about to go eat."
"What about you? Why aren't you at work today?"
Bai Qingci smiled and said, "I wasn't busy at work today, so I took advantage of the lunch break to go out and buy some things..."
Su Ruochu asked with a smile, "Want to eat? Shall we go eat together?"
Bai Qingci hesitated for a moment, then smiled.
"OK."
So the three of them walked forward together.
Bai Qingci's personality has changed a lot since the first time the two met.
Especially since she and Su Ruochu had always lived as neighbors.
Chen Fan was rarely home, and Bai Qingci and Su Ruochu saw each other all the time, so they gradually became friends.
"Chen Fan...hasn't he come back yet?"
"Yes. A few of his old classmates went together. They plan to stay there for a few days," Su Ruochu explained with a smile.
Bai Qingci nodded.
"The stock price of Extraordinary Media has skyrocketed in the past two days, which shows that the capital market is very optimistic about it."
"When he comes back, we must make him give out red envelopes."
Su Ruochu smiled.
"No problem. I'll tell Chen Fan when he gets back!"
Li Na chimed in from the sidelines.
"Don't forget me for this kind of good thing, I want a red envelope too..."
The three women were walking along, chatting and laughing, completely unaware of the people coming and going on the street.
Su Ruochu was tilting her head to tell Li Na beside her that Chen Fan also had a game company in Los Angeles.
Completely unaware of a man wearing a hat walking towards them, who was on the phone as he walked.
As they approached the three people, Su Ruochu still didn't notice.
Until the man pretended to make a phone call, he gently unzipped his collar with one hand, reached inside, and pulled out a gun...
A flash of light streaked across Bai Qingci's face.
Bai Qingci's expression changed instantly.
"Miss Su... watch out!"
