However, 'Stupid Ben' was looking forward to his gift with great joy.

As he followed his two brothers, he asked curiously, "Brother, what birthday present do you want? You are so secretive."

Hua Tingjue’s birthday was only a few days away. As his brothers, Hua Tingrui and Hua Tingjin brought him birthday gifts.

Seeing his impatience, Hua Tingrui and Hua Tingjin couldn't help but smile at each other. Hua Tingrui took something out of his trouser pocket and threw it to him carelessly. Hua Tingjue caught it steadily. After seeing what was in his palm, he was shocked and said, "Oh my god, brother, isn't this a new limited edition Ferrari supercar?"

"Didn't mom allow me to play now?" Hua Tingjin was discouraged. The Hua family was different from other wealthy families. There were many rules and restrictions.

"Then wait until you are eighteen to play. There is no time or occasion for giving gifts. If you want to play, you can just go for a drive on the closed road outside."

As a playboy, Hua Tingjue naturally loves cars, especially such a cool global limited edition supercar. He nodded vigorously, "Yeah, thank you, big brother!"

"Ahem." Seeing him immersed in joy, Hua Tingjin clenched his fist to clear his throat. He had a gentle and docile smile on his face, "Since big brother's gifts have been delivered, it's my turn."

Put your palms together and clap twice.

The servant brought the gift to Hua Tingjue. He stared at the thing in front of him. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and it was about to jump out.

Seeing that he was stunned, Hua Tingjin reminded him: "Open your own gifts yourself."

Hua Tingjin held his breath and pulled the ribbon carefully. A glittering bass came into view. He froze in place, his whole body stiff.

After a while, she screamed in surprise: "The latest model of bass?! Brother!!! You actually bought this for me!"

He couldn't let go of Bess, as if he had found some rare treasure. He jumped for joy and hugged Hua Tingjin, shouting, "Second brother, I love you!"

Except for those close to him, no one knew that Hua Tingjue loved tinkering with music, especially various musical instruments on the market, which he knew more or less.

But he played in a rock band that was not mainstream among the rich and powerful, with electric guitar, bass, drums, etc. This also led to Mu Xiuzhi's harsh opposition.

The joy faded, and Hua Tingjue frowned. Hua Tingjin was a little surprised by his change of reaction after seeing this, "What's wrong? Don't you like it very much?"

Hua Tingjue pursed his lips and hesitated, "But... isn't playing music a waste of time? My grades are already so bad."

Hearing this, Hua Tingrui and Hua Tingjin paused, their eyes deep, Hua Tingjin suddenly said in a serious tone: "As long as you love it and treat it as a serious matter, there is no such thing as not doing your job properly."

Of course, he understood his brother's concerns, and he also knew the rules of the Hua family, so he could only comfort him in a gentle voice: "Mom didn't mean that."

But Hua Tingjue was still a little unhappy, so Hua Tingjin had to say to him: "Don't worry, my brother and I are here, why are you worried?"

His father passed away suddenly, and his mother had to support the family alone amidst the dangers of war. He and his older brother had to temporarily give up playing and were forced to grow up. Only his younger brother was able to be happy and free.

Hua Tingjin hopes that his only brother can retain the purest happiness, for himself, his elder brother, his mother, and the other helpless people in the Hua family.

What they didn't have, their brother couldn't lose again.

After hearing these words, Hua Tingjue felt relieved and smiled, "Thank you, brother."

As the eldest brother, Hua Tingrui was sincerely relieved when he saw his younger brother's innocent smile. He patted Hua Tingjue's arm with his big hand and comforted him with a deep look in his eyes: "Do whatever you want to do. The Hua family doesn't need you to take on the responsibility for the time being."

Hua Tingjin agreed, "Yes, with big brother and second brother here, mom won't say anything."

"Yeah." Hua Tingjue nodded heavily. He excitedly jumped around the yard with his bass in his arms, and even played an impromptu tune while standing on the lawn.

The ending note is lighthearted and cheerful yet has a hint of heavy metal power, indicating the youthful happiness of teenagers.

Hua Tingjue lowered his head and grinned from the bottom of his heart.

He ran over and shouted, "Second brother, I like this, thank you!" He didn't show favoritism and turned to smile at Hua Tingrui, "Hehe, I like the one given by my eldest brother too!"

Hua Tingrui laughed, "As long as you are happy."

It was time for dinner. Hua Tingjue put away his bass, and the three of them walked towards the restaurant. Seeing Mu Xiuzhi sitting at the main seat, they all called out "Mom". Hua Tingjue tried his best to suppress the smile on his face and then sat down.

Jiang Wangshu, who was sitting at the other end of the table, caught a glimpse of Hua Tingjue's almost overflowing joy, and lowered his head and curled his lips quietly.

……

When New Year's Eve comes, the house is decorated with joy and is very lively.

Jiang Wangshu got up early and watched a group of people going in and out of the kitchen and the yard. Their hurried footsteps seemed to be tainted with the flavor of the New Year.

Not only that, the Hua family is large, and except for Hua Tingjue’s sister-in-law who didn’t come back because she was pregnant, everyone else was there.

The hall was full of people, it was crowded.

Hua Tingjue walked up to her and whispered to her, clearing up her confusion, "These are all people from the side branches, and they come to pay New Year's greetings to my mother every year."

Jiang Wangshu looked up at Mu Xiuzhi who was sitting in the main seat in the hall. She tilted her head slightly to chat harmoniously with others, and handed red envelopes to the younger generations from time to time. Her every move showed the sharpness and elegance of the head of the family.

The group did not disperse until evening.

The family sat down to enjoy the exquisite New Year's Eve dinner. As usual, no one spoke a word during the meal. The only sound in the restaurant was the sound of chewing and the clatter of cutlery. Jiang Wangshu had long been accustomed to and enjoyed such tranquility.

After the meal, everyone wished Mu Xiuzhi a happy new year.

The first one is still the eldest son Hua Tingrui.

"Happy New Year, Mom. I hope you are in good health."

The little boy holding his hand was soft and cute, and he shouted in a not very clear but well-behaved voice: "Grandma, Happy New Year~"

"Happy New Year." Mu Xiuzhi gave Hua Tingrui a red envelope, and then clapped her hands at the little guy with a rare kind look, "Xiao Lin, come here."

Hua Tingjue verbally identified the face for Jiang Wangshu, "This is my brother's son, my eldest nephew - Hua Lin."

Mu Xiuzhi held Hua Lin in her arms, and Hua Tingjin brought his wife Qin Yingying to wish her a happy new year. "Mom, Yingying and I hope you will be healthy this year."

Facing the couple, Mu Xiuzhi's reaction was obviously a little calmer than before. She just nodded slightly, "Yeah, I understand."

Hua Tingjue clicked his tongue a little awkwardly, and whispered with his hand covering his mouth: "This is my second sister-in-law, my mother...ah..." He couldn't say any more.

Jiang Wangshu looked at the person he was talking about. She was cold and gentle. One glance was enough to tell that she was a person of great learning and elegance.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a disgusting existence.

Qin Yingying was treated coldly but she didn't feel unhappy or impulsive at all. She just smiled faintly and responded without saying a word.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and eerily quiet. Hua Tingjue simply pulled Jiang Wangshu's arm and walked forward in two steps.

Jiang Wangshu, who was watching from the sidelines, didn’t understand what was going on:?

"Mom, Happy New Year! Jiang Wangshu and I wish you happiness and money every day!"

The place suddenly became hot.

The simple and straightforward blessing made Mu Xiuzhi's mouth twitch. Sure enough, her empty head never spoke nonsense. She took out two red envelopes and handed them to them, "Come on, take the red envelopes and leave."

"Thank you mom!"

Hua Tingjue reached out to take it and gave one to Jiang Wangshu. Her first reaction was to refuse because she felt she was not qualified to receive the red envelope.

Mu Xiuzhi saw through her thoughts and said, "Take it. Since you have already moved into the Hua family, you should receive this New Year's money."

Hua Tingjue echoed, "Yes, yes, take it." Then he stuffed the red envelope into Jiang Wangshu's pocket, patted it after securing it securely.

"Thank you." Jiang Wangshu nodded politely.

……

At midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year, fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Hua Tingjue quickly closed her eyes and made a wish. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Wangshu standing there in a daze. She pushed her arm and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? You have to make a wish before setting off fireworks for the New Year!"

"Hurry up, seize this great opportunity at midnight on the New Year!"

"Hurry up!"

Under his noisy urging, Jiang Wangshu had no choice but to close his eyes and make a wish.

Her wish is very simple, two words -

rich.

Maybe God heard her wish.

The next second, Hua Tingjue quietly took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to her, his eyes shining like stars, "Happy New Year, Jiang Wangshu."

For some unknown reason, Jiang Wangshu actually accepted it.

This year was the first time in sixteen years that she received the legendary New Year's money. In the past, these were privileges only enjoyed by Jiang Tianci in the Jiang family.

In the unclear night, the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Happy New Year!"

This was also the first time she said Happy New Year to others.
