Going to work? Even a dog wouldn't go!

Chapter 46, Raising a Brother for a Thousand Days, Using Him for a Single Moment

Don't underestimate the value of a car worth over 400,000 yuan. Putting aside the trend of people driving Ferraris on TikTok, there aren't many people in real society who can afford a car worth over 400,000 yuan.

Someone of Zhang Xian's age who can afford a car worth over 400,000 yuan on his own can truly be described as an exceptional individual.

After all, Zhang Xian's classmates were either just starting out in their careers or still pursuing graduate studies, so almost none of them had the means to spend over 400,000 yuan on a car.

Although Zhang Xian's car was bought by his father, Zhang Dongshan, it's not a big deal for Zhang Xian to spend over 400,000 yuan now.

Lan Qiaoqiao is quite realistic, but she's not as brainless as some of the "little fairies" on the internet who flaunt their million-dollar luxury cars and assets exceeding 100 million.

In her view, Zhang Xian is a "potential stock" with huge untapped potential. As a musician, he is only 22 years old and has a long future ahead of him. Who knows, he might create one or two more hit songs someday, and then he would be rolling in money.

It's a pity he has a girlfriend, a popular female celebrity like Chu Yourong, otherwise Lan Qiaoqiao would definitely have seized this opportunity.

But sitting in the passenger seat, she couldn't resist shifting her long legs towards the driver's side. She had to make use of this advantage. Although Chu Yourong was beautiful and had the aura of a female celebrity, she was definitely not as good as Lan Qiaoqiao when it came to legs. Chu Yourong was 165 cm tall, and there was a ten-centimeter difference between the two.

Zhang Pandi chose a private restaurant that was quite famous near the medical university and wasn't too expensive, costing around 200 yuan per person.

Although Zhang Xian said he was treating his brother to a big meal and that he could eat whatever he wanted, Zhang Pandi still wanted to save her brother some money.

Zhang Xiancai is 22 years old and not married yet. He hasn't even bought a house for his wedding, and there are still many things he needs to spend money on.

Several signature dishes were placed on the table. Zhang Pandi and Lan Qiaoqiao took a bunch of photos of the food first, and then pulled Zhang Xian and Zhang Zhaodi together for a group photo.

We only started eating after the photo session was over.

“Xiaoxian, people online are saying that you and Chu Yourong broke up, which is why she was able to sing ‘Decent’ so well.”

After Zhang Xian had almost finished eating, Lan Qiaoqiao tentatively asked for his opinion.

"Netizens really have sharp eyes."

Zhang Xian continued eating while responding nonchalantly.

"what?"

"You two really broke up??"

Before Lan Qiaoqiao could ask any more questions, Zhang Pandi exclaimed in surprise. She was quite satisfied with Chu Yourong, her celebrity sister-in-law, since the two of them had slept together one night before.

The other person was a popular celebrity who was completely down-to-earth, and the two got along very well, even exchanging WeChat messages occasionally. But then Zhang Xian said that the two had broken up.

"Well, it's divided."

According to Chu Yourong's plan, the breakup will be announced soon, and Zhang Xian will be happy to "return to single life," out with the old and in with the new.

He needs to maintain a single persona, otherwise it won't be appropriate for him to flirt with other women.

Take, for example, the long-legged beauty, Lan Qiaoqiao.

Upon seeing Zhang Xian's affirmative answer, Lan Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up immediately. "Great! This is the perfect opportunity!"
But Zhang Pandi became anxious: "Why?"

"How wonderful the young banyan tree is!"

"Incompatible personalities".

Zhang Xian gave a universal reason.

"Yourong has a great personality, she's not pretentious and easy to get along with. Xiaoxian, why don't you try to win her back?"

Zhang Pandi truly couldn't bear to part with such a wonderful sister-in-law.

Of course, she also had her own selfish motives. Chu Yourong was a female celebrity, so she could ask her about some gossip in the entertainment industry to satisfy her gossip-loving mentality.

“Pandi, outsiders can’t really understand matters of the heart, and besides, Xiaoxian is already an adult; he has his own judgment.”

Lan Qiaoqiao took over the conversation.

"Yes, Qiaoqiao is right."

Zhang Xian nodded repeatedly.

"Xiaoxian, breaking up is such a big deal, how come you're not sad at all?"

Zhang Pandi frowned and pressed on, because in her opinion, ending a relationship must be very painful and it might take a long time to get over it, at least that's how it's portrayed in TV dramas.

"We broke up amicably, otherwise there wouldn't be a book called 'Decent'."

After saying that, Zhang Xian picked up a piece of braised pork and chewed it with relish. You couldn't see a trace of sadness or pain on his face.

“Pandi, I think Xiaoxian has a good attitude. Just like the lyrics say, I dare to give and I dare to be heartbroken.”

“It’s just a breakup. If you look at it from another perspective, isn’t it just a new beginning?” Lan Qiaoqiao continued to speak up for Zhang Xian.

"Sigh, I just feel it's a bit of a pity."

Zhang Pandi sighed softly, her face full of regret.

"There's nothing to regret. Even though we broke up, we're still friends!"

"And it won't affect your ability to continue being friends with Chu Yourong."

Zhang Xian, the person involved in the breakup, offered words of comfort to Zhang Pandi.

"As long as you're okay."

Zhang Pandi shook her head and said, "But now Dad will start urging you again. Liu Dongxu is already married, but you've broken up with your boyfriend!"

"My dad's busy all day, he doesn't have time to talk to me!"

Zhang Xian disagreed.

Had a meal.

Zhang Xian sent his fifth sister and Lan Qiaoqiao back to the medical university, while he took Zhang Zhaodi to "Zheng Hong Law Firm".

This is where Zhang Laidi, the fourth sister, is interning. Zhang Xian arrived right after get off work, wanting to surprise his fourth sister, so he didn't call her but waited at the building entrance with the gift he had bought.

Before long, he saw his fourth sister, Zhang Laidi, accompanied by a woman with short hair and wearing a small suit.

Zhang Xian had seen the other person in his fourth sister's WeChat Moments and had also heard his fourth sister mention him; I think his name was Li He.

It's impossible to tell her gender just from her name. Perhaps influenced by her name, she dresses quite androgynously, except for her large breasts, which seem a bit out of place.

Her overly developed features have actually hindered her from pursuing the tomboy image.

Just as Zhang Xian was about to wave to his fourth sister, a man stepped forward and called out Zhang Laidi's name: "Laidi, it's rare that you're not working overtime. I've been waiting for you for ages!"

The man's hair was slicked back and shiny. He wore a three-piece suit of trousers, shirt, and vest, with a handkerchief tucked into the pocket of his vest. He wore brown leather shoes that were as shiny as his hair.

Zhang Xian recognized the outfit.

By the way, that's what the Dongxu brothers wore when they went for their job interviews.

The air of a fake foreign devil is overwhelming.

As he spoke, the fake foreigner handed over a large bouquet of flowers.

If nothing unexpected happens, this fake foreigner should be Fourth Sister's suitor.

Zhang Xian quickly activated his "gossip eye" skill to take a look, and wow, the red line on that fake foreigner's head was almost as prominent as Wang Jiajia's.

"Yang Dawei, how many times have I told you, I don't want your stuff!"

Zhang Laidi's brows furrowed into a tight knot; it was clear that this fake foreigner had been harassing her for quite some time.

"Laidi, I mean it."

"No girl has ever fascinated me like this before!"

Yang Dawei spoke with deep emotion, then pushed the bouquet of flowers forward: "Even if you don't accept me, you can at least accept the flowers, they're innocent!"

At this point in the story, Zhang Xian felt he had to take action; he couldn't just watch his fourth sister be harassed by this fake foreigner.

He quickly rushed forward and forcefully stood between Yang Dawei and his fourth sister, Zhang Laidi: "Brother, step back!"

As Zhang Xian spoke, he pushed Yang Dawei backward, along with the flowers.

"Who are you!"

"Didn't you see my confession?!"

Being pushed aside at the crucial moment, Yang Dawei was naturally furious and glared fiercely at Zhang Xian.

Upon seeing her suddenly appearing younger brother, Zhang Laidi was overjoyed, truly proving the adage, "Raising a younger brother for a thousand days, using him for a single moment."

With her tall and strong younger brother around, she felt much more confident.

Suddenly, Zhang Laidi understood why her parents insisted on having a younger brother; having a man in the family did indeed give people a sense of security.
