Accompanying the sounds of the firecrackers, the whole family went to sleep. They awoke early the next morning. Xie Limo and his family all donned traditional Chinese costumes, displaying the ancient culture’s appealing charms.
The younger generations offered a toast and blessings to the elders. Afterwards, the elders gave out red packets and extended good wishes.
Holding onto their red packets, everyone was overjoyed.
When Yun Bilu opened up her red packet, she saw that it was filled with title deeds for shops all over Country E. In addition, they were all permanent leases. Her body immediately straightened. She had long wanted to operate a cafe branch, so her brother-in-law’s gifts offered her a great deal of assistance. Moreover, she had saved herself from plenty of trouble. It was awesome.
“Ahh! Haha…” Yun Bilu clutched onto the red packet and chuckled.
Yun Bixue watched her younger sister laughing. She stepped forward and pinched her younger sister’s face. “What did your brother-in-law give you? You’re so excited.”
Yun Bilu whispered into Yun Bixue’s ear, “Elder Sister, this is all because of you. Hehe. Didn’t you throw a tantrum that day? Brother-in-law asked me about it. I explained without reservations and told him everything I know. Brother-in-law was so grateful to me, and said that my new year’s present wouldn’t be shabby.”
Hearing her younger sister’s words, Yun Bixue’s face turned hot instantly. She felt even more embarrassed about what happened that day. Really! He had actually asked her younger sister about it personally.
Yun Bixue turned back and looked at Xie Limo. He was accompanying her grandfather and having a chat. Her heart warmed. Everything that he did always warmed up her heart.
Suddenly, Yun Bilu said to Yun Bixue, “Elder Sister, Brother-in-law is rather attentive towards you. However, you should guard against those other women. I reckon all of them are trying to seduce Brother-in-law. Look at that shameless Yun Mengshi, pretending to be weak. Also, there’s also those three female students from my university. You have to be stronger, do you hear me?”
Looking at how stern and nervous Yun Bilu looked, Yun Bixue laughed. Pinching her younger sister’s face, she promised, “Yes. Stop being so stern. I understand. I have to be kind to my family, and fierce to my enemies. Don’t worry, if I hadn’t been like that, the two of us wouldn’t have been able to persevere till today.”
Hearing those words, Yun Bilu’s heart felt bitter. That’s true. If that hadn’t been the case, the two sisters would already be ruined.
Fortunately, her elder sister had found her happiness now. She had to work harder, so she won’t become a burden to her elder sister.
On the first day of the lunar year, many of the royal families in Ning An City gathered to suck up to Xie Limo. However, Xie Limo didn’t want these people to meet the master of his family—his father. He didn’t want to attract unnecessary disturbances, so he constantly kept the villa’s door shut.
Later in the afternoon, the whole family went out to have fun.
It was supposed to be a joyous occasion at the Qin’s, but instead, it was dreary. Aunt Qin sat on the matron’s seat and relayed instructions as usual. A tinge of faint mockery flashed across Qin Huailing’s clear eyes.
On the other hand, when his gaze landed on his father and mother, it carried a hint of dull pain. His father was unconscious, and his mother was weak and helpless. The other members of the Qin family watched them covetously. Thinking about how his leg ended in this state, his gaze was filled with menace.
“After eating, go and do whatever you have to do.”
After speaking, Aunt Qin waved her hand at Qin Huailing. She said, “Huailing, these are the women who have been arranged for you. Their family backgrounds are clean and they’re also virtuous. You can enjoy without any worry.”
As she spoke, she opened up the computer system, and showed them to Qin Huailing one by one.
“Aunt Qin, you arranged the eldest daughter of the Yun family for me back then. Why did you change?” Qin Huailing looked at Aunt Qin. His eyes looked pure and sincere.
On the other hand, Aunt Qin’s heart thumped as she met Qin Huailing’s eyes. She always felt that her nephew was not as innocent and simple-minded as he seemed. She still remembered that this child had already demonstrated his outstanding talent when he was only around ten years old.
