The peaceful New Year's Eve and the rich and delicious food did not bring an atmosphere of joy to the Lin family.

In the Lin family's restaurant, everyone lowered their heads and ate their meals quietly.

There was no laughter, no blessings to each other.

Even Lin Ziheng, who usually liked to joke and make Mrs. Lin happy, didn't speak.

Lin Ziheng and Lin Ziyuan, brothers and sisters, became extremely ugly when Li Shuangshuang blackmailed Mrs. Lin to express her position.

Xiao Mengyi looked at Old Mrs. Lin, who was sitting at the main seat and eating quietly, and felt pity in her heart.

She stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Lin Anjie's clothes who was sitting next to her, approached Lin Anjie and whispered:

"Say a few words of blessing to grandma."

"I don't have this habit." Lin Anjie still looked unhappy and said coldly.

Xiao Mengyi looked at Lin Anjie in disbelief, wondering if she heard wrongly. "What?"

Lin Anjie stretched out his hand and put a piece of bone-in steak on her plate, then started eating by himself.

Xiao Mengyi raised her eyes and looked at everyone at the dining table. Huang Weiwei was not eating, but just sitting on his seat playing with his IPA.

Huang Liren is peeling shrimps for Lin Anqi.

Lin Anqi was eating the shrimp peeled by Huang Liren while scrolling through her mobile phone.

Li Shuangshuang was eating seriously, but it gave the impression that she was eating alone, and the people around her could not affect her even if they sat at the same table with her.

Lin Ziyuan didn't know what she was thinking. She stared at the plate and slowly chewed the food in her mouth. She didn't know what the food was, but she never swallowed it.

There was no intention of picking up any more food with his hands, and he looked preoccupied.

Lin Ziheng was drinking alone, with a gloomy look on his face. From time to time, he glanced at Lin Ziyuan, who was sitting opposite him, and from time to time, he turned to look at Li Shuangshuang.

As if he was troubled by something, he took a sip of wine every time he frowned.

Xiao Mengyi was filled with emotion when she saw the festive atmosphere of the Lin family.

Although her family was poor since she was a child, the atmosphere at home would be very good during major festivals. Even her father knows how to act normal on New Year's Eve.

Although her father's pretense was normal and he was only in the second grade of junior high school, she had always had a good relationship with her mother, younger brothers and sisters.

It's not like the Lin family now, rich and powerful, but this atmosphere is really bad.

Xiao Mengyi picked up Lin Anjie's wine glass and stuffed it into Lin Anjie's hand, then picked up her own glass with drinks.

She pulled Lin Anjie and asked him to stand up with her.

"Grandma, Anjie and I wish you good health."

"Okay, okay, grandma also wishes you both a successful new year." Mrs. Lin wiped away her bad mood and drank more than half of the wine in the glass.

Then she took two red envelopes from Zhang Ma who was standing behind her and gave them to Xiao Mengyi and Lin Anjie.

"Auntie, Anjie and I wish you more and more beauty."

"Okay, thank you, and I also wish you..." Lin Ziyuan also responded happily to Xiao Mengyi.

"Dad, we wish you all the best in the new year and receive satisfactory collections." Xiao Mengyi thought for a moment and gave Lin Ziheng this blessing. Lin Ziheng had this hobby anyway.

"I also wish you to have a son soon, and give me a fat grandson next year." Lin Ziheng still did not miss any opportunity.

"Okay, okay!" Old Mrs. Lin smiled from ear to ear.

Lin Ziyuan also laughed happily. "This is a great blessing!"

Xiao Mengyi smiled awkwardly and looked at Lin Anjie.

Li Shuangshuang, Lin Anqi, and Huang Liren also looked at each other. The expressions of the three people are very intriguing.

Xiao Mengyi raised her cup and looked at Li Shuangshuang and Lin Anqi's family. After Lin Anjie discovered Xiao Mengyi's behavior, he wanted to sit down, but Xiao Mengyi held him back.

Xiao Mengyi didn't allow him to sit down.

"Mom, I wish you a happy smile and all your dreams come true in the new year." Xiao Mengyi looked at Li Shuangshuang gently.

Li Shuangshuang was drinking soup. He paused after hearing Xiao Mengyi's words and said slowly: "I'm interested."

Mrs. Lin and Lin Ziyuan looked at each other, and Mrs. Lin immediately answered: "Yes, yes, everyone's wishes will come true in the new year."

Xiao Mengyi sent blessings to Huang Liren and Lin Anqi.

Lin Anqi's attitude was even colder than Li Shuangshuang's and she only replied with one word. "Um!"

"Everyone is in good health and everything goes well." Huang Liren saw that the scene was indeed embarrassing, so he had to use his usual set of official etiquette.

"Come on, let's raise a toast, everyone!"

Lin Ziheng also became active at this time and invited everyone to have a drink together.

The atmosphere improved now, and Lin Ziheng and Lin Ziyuan also took out red envelopes and distributed them to the juniors.

Mrs. Lin looked at Xiao Mengyi with a smile. This girl had never let her down.

Xiao Mengyi saw that everyone's emotions were aroused, so she found a topic to chat with Mrs. Lin and Lin Ziyuan.

Mrs. Lin also told everyone about some of her experiences overseas during this period.

Xiao Mengyi and Lin Ziyuan interrupted from time to time, asked questions, and actively interacted with the old lady.

"Everything is great! It's just too quiet." Mrs. Lin concluded with a concluding comment at the end, "I have to have you in front of me from time to time to make it feel lively."

"It seems grandma has missed us for a long time." Xiao Mengyi said playfully to Lin Anjie, "We will have to spend more time with grandma in the future."

"Flatterer." Lin Anqi's voice came over, her voice was quite small.

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically, but they were stunned when they heard these words, and Xiao Mengyi had no choice but to quietly pick up the drink and take a sip.

"What are you talking about? Mengyi is right." Lin Anjie glared at Lin Anqi dissatisfied, "You should spend more time with grandma from now on."

"You live at home, and I haven't seen you spend time with grandma. People who don't know think you are very busy."

Lin Anqi was also angry when Lin Anjie said that to her. "Why don't you talk about yourself, as if you are always with grandma."

"We are also wrong." Seeing that Lin Anjie was about to quarrel with Lin Anqi again, Xiao Mengyi immediately held Lin Anjie down. "So this time when grandma returns to China, we plan to move back."

As soon as Xiao Mengyi finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

"No, no. You just need to go home and have meals with me more often!" Old Mrs. Lin herself was the first to refuse. "Just come and see me once a week."

"It's okay, grandma." Xiao Mengyi looked at Mrs. Lin sincerely, "I am willing to stay with you."

"Besides, you can arrange three meals a day for us, so we don't have to worry."

Old Mrs. Lin was anxious now. She nodded directly to Xiao Mengyi, "No, if you are willing, I will ask the worker sister to come over and cook for you every day."

"I can go there every day."

Lin Anjie reached out and gently pulled Xiao Mengyi. Why didn't Xiao Mengyi discuss it with him first? He didn't want to come back.

Xiao Mengyi turned around and gave him a look, asking him to cooperate.

"You don't want to cause trouble, do you?" Lin Anqi said what was on her mind directly, "What's the purpose of coming to coax grandma?"

"An Qi, Mengyi just wants to spend more time with grandma." Lin Ziyuan glared at Lin Anqi.

"Yes, that's what I thought." Xiao Mengyi announced happily. "We'll move back tomorrow."
