Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan finally arrived at the banquet. With their arrival, the atmosphere in the entire hall was instantly ignited, as if all eyes were focused on them. The two smiled and nodded to the people present, then formally took their seats.

Zhong Yuemin, the protagonist of the banquet, was surrounded by everyone for a moment. He smiled helplessly and tried to appear calm.

Zhong Yuemin is a sociable person. He moves among the crowd, chatting with this person and that person, trying his best to make everyone feel satisfied.

However, as the number of guests increased, he gradually felt that he was overwhelmed. In the large restaurant, the voices of people were bustling, and the sounds of laughter and conversation intertwined to form a lively symphony.

Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Zhennan looked at Zhong Yuemin's busy figure and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They knew that Zhong Yuemin had gradually grown into an adult who could stand on his own. They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with relief and pride.

As the guests took their seats one after another, the banquet officially began. Zhong Yuemin stood on the stage, facing hundreds of eyes, and he knew that this was his moment to show his talent. He took a deep breath and began his speech. "Welcome everyone..."

After drinking a few glasses of wine with some old comrades, Zhong Yuemin took Zhou Xiaobai to toast the whole table. However, no one let Zhou Xiaobai drink, and everyone was focused on dealing with Zhong Yuemin. Zhou Xiaobai just kept collecting red envelopes in the back.

Today, Zhou Xiaobai is wearing a white shirt with a bow tie, which is simple yet elegant, pure as snow, as if it can cleanse people's souls. The bow tie of the shirt is slightly open, revealing a casual sexiness, but just enough to maintain her dignity and elegance.

She wore a pair of blue pencil pants that perfectly outlined her exquisite curves, showing her feminine beauty while also showing her strength and tenacity. Every step she took was like a carefully rehearsed dance, graceful and calm, as if telling her story.

Her temperament is so unique and attractive. Whenever she walks in the crowd, she always arouses a burst of amazement. Her eyes are firm and deep, as if she can see through people's hearts, and her smile is warm and charming, as if it can illuminate the whole world.

Zhou Xiaobai's temperament is not achieved overnight, but is the result of her accumulation over the years. She loves reading, thinking, and has her own unique understanding of life. She believes that temperament is a combination of a person's inner cultivation and external performance, and is an inner strength that can even influence others and change the world.

Zhou Xiaobai's classmates sat in the restaurant, looking at the red envelopes that Zhou Xiaobai could hardly hold. The bright colors of the red envelopes sparkled in the sun, attracting everyone's attention. They began to whisper, their hearts full of curiosity and speculation.

"How much red envelope is this!" a female classmate exclaimed, her eyes full of envy.

They saw with their own eyes that the person who had just walked over from another table was skillfully filling red envelopes. The red envelopes were bulging, as if they were filled with a lot of wealth. What was even more eye-catching was that the red envelopes contained either US dollars or Hong Kong dollars, and each one looked so thick and so tempting.

"What is Zhong Yuemin's identity?" a male classmate asked curiously, his eyes full of inquiry.

Zhong Yuemin, this name is not unfamiliar among them. He is Zhou Xiaobai's husband, a man who is always mysterious. His appearance is always accompanied by some amazing things, just like this time.

"Yeah, why are all his friends so wealthy?" another classmate echoed, her tone full of confusion.

Zhong Yuemin's identity became more and more mysterious in their minds. They began to imagine whether the world behind him was full of money and power? Who were his friends?

Zhong Haichen's full-moon banquet gradually came to an end amidst laughter and joy. This carefully prepared banquet not only demonstrated the hospitality of the host family, but also witnessed the deep friendship between Yu Guodong, Ermaozi, Li Wenbo, Du Weidong, Houerbutt and others.

At the banquet, red envelopes were flying and blessings were given one after another. Each red envelope carried the good wishes of relatives and friends for the little one.

Yu Guodong and Ermaozi donated generously, packing a thick red envelope of Hong Kong dollars, implying that they hope Xiao Haichen will have a lot of money and a rich life in the future.

Li Wenbo, Du Weidong and Hou Erpi chose US dollars, symbolizing their hope for a bright future for Xiao Haichen. Although Xie Yongkang is usually low-key and introverted, he generously gave a red envelope of 666 today, which means good luck and hopes that the couple's marriage life will be smooth.

At this wedding banquet, Li Kuiyong and others were extremely generous, and their red envelopes were naturally very generous.

However, this banquet was an absolute test for Zhong Yuemin. He was busy greeting every guest, toasting, chatting, and thanking them. He was busy all the time. When the guests left, he finally had the chance to lie down in the bedroom at the back of the hotel, not wanting to move at all.

Zhou Xiaobai looked at the exhausted Zhong Yuemin and felt distressed. She gently massaged his shoulders and rubbed his brows, and gently advised him to drink more water. She knew that Zhong Yuemin was exhausted today, but he never complained. In her heart, Zhong Yuemin was like a towering mountain, which could stand firm no matter how great the difficulties were.

"Yuemin, are you tired? Why don't we go back and rest early?" Zhou Xiaobai said softly.

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly and shook his head. "Wife, it's okay. You know my body is made of iron."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled slightly and said nothing. She knew that Zhong Yuemin was just being stubborn. Zhou Xiaobai continued to massage him silently. She knew that the warmth and peace at this moment was the happiest moment in her heart.

As soon as Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai returned home, Zhou Xiaobai could not wait to sit down at the table and began to record the gift accounts by comparing the names on the red envelopes. She opened the red envelopes on the table one by one, counted the money inside, and quickly added it to the book. Her eyes were focused and serious, as if she was carrying out a sacred task.

Reciprocity is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, but there must be clear accounts between exchanges. In this society where human relationships are intertwined, the exchange of human relationships is like an intricate web. The slightest mistake may lead to unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. Zhou Xiaobai knows this very well, so she is very careful with every gift.

Debts of favor are no joke, you need to use a notebook to help record them. Imagine if you only rely on your head to remember these tedious accounts, it would be like fighting a war without gunpowder in your mind. If you are not careful, you may make mistakes, which will be embarrassing.

For example, someone gave you five dollars as a share of money last time, but you only give back three dollars the next time you go. This is really unacceptable in terms of etiquette. The amount should be at least more than three dollars!

"Yuemin, look at this." Zhou Xiaobai suddenly raised his head and pointed to a name on the notebook.

Zhong Yuemin leaned over to take a look and found that it was a friend they were not familiar with, but the gift money was quite generous. He could not help but be a little surprised. "I didn't expect him to give so much."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled slightly. "This shows that they value us, and we can't treat them unfairly. Next time we have a chance, we must return the gift."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

"Yuemin, take another look at this. It belongs to my college classmate Xiao Wang. His family is quite poor, but I didn't expect him to give us such an expensive gift." Zhou Xiaobai said, pointing to a line of numbers on the notebook.

"Yeah, I remember him. He's a nice guy. Let's help him more if we have the chance." Zhong Yuemin answered while watching Zhou Xiaobai taking notes seriously.

Zhou Xiaobai nodded and continued to open the red envelopes. She clearly remembered the name of each gift giver and the amount of the gift.

In the old tradition, there is always a full-time accountant standing at the door to collect the money, recording every blessing and thought for the host. This will make the host less worried.

However, on this special day full of modern atmosphere, Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai chose a different path from tradition.

Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai both have a sense of pride in their characters, and they feel that collecting money at the door seems a bit disgusting.

Therefore, this ancient tradition quietly changed at Xiao Haichen's full moon banquet. They chose a more casual and sincere way: if people are willing to give, they will accept it, and if they are not willing, they will not force it or blame.

This decision made Xiao Haichen's full-month banquet full of ease and comfort. There were no cumbersome etiquette constraints, only sincere blessings and laughter. This was not just a full-month banquet, but more like a gathering among friends, a feast for sharing joy and happiness.

So from a certain perspective, Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai do have striking similarities in their personalities. They both have the pride of not wanting to go with the flow, and the courage to stick to themselves and pursue the truth. They live just like their personalities, simple, real, and yet individual.

Zhong Yuemin smiled gently, sat next to Zhou Xiaobai, and looked at the account book in her hand. Zhou Xiaobai has always been a careful person, and she remembers every expense of the family clearly. Zhong Yuemin understands her habit, but he also knows that the world is changing much faster than Zhou Xiaobai imagined.

"Wife, don't remember it so carefully. You will definitely have to pay more in the future." He said gently, trying to reassure Zhou Xiaobai. He reached out and gently held Zhou Xiaobai's hand.

"Money is becoming less and less valuable. If you give me five dollars now, it will at least double or triple in a year or two. If you give me less than ten dollars, I won't give it to you." Zhong Yuemin continued, his tone revealing his foresight and helplessness about the future. He knows that the world is changing rapidly and the value of money is constantly fluctuating.

Zhou Xiaobai raised her head and looked at Zhong Yuemin, her eyes full of doubt and uneasiness. She was not someone who knew nothing about economics, but she had never thought that money would become so worthless. She looked down at the account book in her hand, and the numbers seemed to become blurred and no longer so clear.

"I'll tell you later." She whispered, lowered her head again, and continued to record. Zhong Yuemin looked at her, his heart full of helplessness and worry. He knew that the changes in the world had exceeded their imagination, and they had to make changes to adapt to this new era.

After a long while, Zhou Xiaobai finally put down her writing and exclaimed, "Ah...how come there are so many?" Her voice was full of shock and confusion, which also surprised Zhong Yuemin a little.

"Wife, what are you doing? You scared me."

"Why did you receive so much gift money?"

Zhong Yuemin asked with a smile, "How much? I'm surprised you're like this."

"This is too much. When I took it, I felt that the red envelope was too thick. If I knew it was so much, I wouldn't have accepted it. How can I return the gift in the future?"

Zhou Xiaobai continued to flip through the notebook and said, "As for your two friends from Hong Kong and Japan, should we return the favor in Hong Kong dollars and US dollars, or in RMB? If they give more, you can't take advantage of them. Reciprocity is the norm. You can't take advantage of them and suffer losses."

"Don't think too much. We will naturally have a way to deal with it in the future. Besides, we really don't need money, so just relax."

Zhou Xiaobai disagreed with his words and said to him, "If you continue to live like this, you will eventually lose everything."

Zhong Yuemin boasted, "Wife, your husband will never be short of money in this life. If you are really capable, you will spend it all for me. How do you say that? A spendthrift woman..."

Zhou Xiaobai continued to confront him. "Look at how you show off your wealth. Do you even know your last name? It's normal to lose a country or a city. It shouldn't be that easy to ruin a family, right? Zhong Yuemin, I think you're getting cocky now!"

Zhong Yuemin said maliciously, "Wife, I haven't touched you for a while. Do you think you are ready again?"

As they were talking, they started to fight. Zhou Xiaobai quickly stopped them. "Stop it. What should we do when mom comes in with her son and daughter?"

"That won't do. I've been enduring a lot of hardship during this period. Don't you have to compensate me?"

"Stop it..."

"Mom, are you in the room?" At this time, Xiao Shihua's voice came over.

The two people quickly separated. "I'm here! Girl, come in!"

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing?"

"Mom is keeping accounts. Where are your grandma and brother?"

"Oh, they're behind!"

Zhou Xiaobai continued to lecture Zhong Yuemin. "Yuemin, it's still uncertain how the situation will change in the future! Don't just look at the present. What's happening now may disappear in the future. Don't forget that you are not yourself now. You still have a wife and children. You can't just follow your temper."

"Big sister, you are just overthinking. Do you believe that if your husband works hard, I can make you the richest man in the world? Are you still afraid of having no money to spend? Are you kidding me? Isn't this a slap in my face?"

"You're getting more and more ridiculous. How much did you drink today? You're already talking nonsense. Go to bed now."

"Hey, my dear wife, I'm telling you the truth, why don't you believe it?"

"I believe it. I believe it. What's more, drink some water and go to sleep." Zhong Yuemin was speechless after hearing this!
