After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Without the interruptions of "amateurs", things in the kitchen went very smoothly.

living room.

Under Zhang Yuzhi's organization, the four of them formed a simple card game.

After several rounds of fighting, Zhang Yuzhi could be said to have defeated all the opponents, and the other three owed Zhang Yuzhi a lot.

Zhang Xiaoyuan lamented:

"Aunt, you are so cruel!"

Just now, Zhang Xiaoyuan tried to regret his decision, but was coaxed and tricked by Zhang Yuzhi into agreeing to take more promotional photos for Nancheng Bookstore.

The result is that we have lost both the wife and the army.

Lu Ranran is not good at playing cards and his style is conservative.

Although I lost after racking my brains, it was still a beautiful loss.

As for Shen Xiling...

Zhang Yuzhi called on him halfway through.

"Can you be more serious?" Don't always give your downstream client (Lu Ranran) easy wins?

Of course, the second half of the sentence was completed with a warning look.

Shen Xiling put on an extremely distressed face.

"Mom, I'm serious..."

This means that even if he tried his best, he could only barely reach his current level.

Zhang Yuzhi pursed her lips and kindly did not expose him.

Her son always played tricks in front of her and Shen Ximing, pretending to be a bored fool just to make them angry.

But in private, he is extremely hardworking, and even if it is something he doesn't like, he will try his best to do his best.

She sighed softly, and the joy of winning money returned to her face.

"You little brats, you should accept defeat and not go back on your debts!"

"If you can't give it, I will use your red envelopes to pay off the debt this year!"

At this time, Cai Wenshu leaned out of the kitchen and shouted:

"What's the red envelope or not?"

When I saw the messy cards on the square table in the living room, there were two people with bitter faces, one with indifferent expression and the other with smug expression.

Cai Wenshu nodded at Zhang Yuzhi and scolded with a smile:

"Look at you, you've grown up."

“You even earn money from children?”

Zhang Yuzhi looked calm.

"Mom, don't you know? There is no father and son at the card table."

Cai Wenshu turned her attention to Shen Xiling and cursed:

"You are really something. You inherited your mother's thick-skinned nature."

Shen Xiling was innocently implicated, while Lu Ranran on the side covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhang Yuzhi stood up and walked to Cai Wenshu, holding her arm affectionately.

"Mom, please tell me, should we go to the room to get the red envelope?"

"Just give it to me. They are much worse than me."

Shen Xiling immediately protested righteously.

"Grandma, you can't listen to her."

"We are the middlemen, and we have to make a profit from the price difference!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Gu Nianzhi ran to the living room, and Ah Huang followed behind him.

Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, he said anxiously:

"Grandma, aren't you here to call everyone to eat?"

"The food is getting cold!"

Cai Wenshu suddenly realized and said:

"Hurry, hurry, let's eat! The spring rolls are fresh out of the pan and they're still crispy!"

The old man was already waiting at the dining table.

People filed in and took their seats.

The meal was a joyful and harmonious one, and we were in a good mood.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Cai Wenshu put down her chopsticks, raised her glass and said:

"Come on, come on, our house hasn't been this lively for a long time, let's have a clash!"

"I hope all of you little ones are healthy and happy every day!"

Amidst the crisp sound of collision, the new year is quietly approaching.

Shen Xilu cleared his throat and continued with Cai Wenshu's words:

"Whether it's New Year's Day or not, Grandpa hopes you can seize the time."

"Find your own goal and work hard. If you encounter difficulties, come back and tell your grandparents!"

Zhang Yuzhi smiled and joked:

"I am also a junior. What should I do if I encounter difficulties?"

After hearing this, Shen Xilu shook his head at Cai Wenshu.

"Look, she really won't let go of any opportunity."

"Very good!" Shen Xilu raised his glass to Zhang Yuzhi, "This is the attitude of the head of Nancheng Bookstore!"

"Your useless brothers must be kicked out without mercy!"

Cai Wenshu said angrily:

"It's New Year's Day, don't say such unlucky words."

Zhang Yuzhi also raised her glass with a smile, taking over the blessings from the two elderly people.

"In the new year, I wish everyone to meet more good people and stay away from bad people."

After saying that, Zhang Yuzhi drank it all in one gulp.

"Dear children, what are your New Year wishes?" Zhang Yuzhi supported her head with one hand and looked at everyone with a relaxed expression.

Zhang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, swallowed, and said seriously:

"Grandpa, grandma, little aunt, I will leave South City after the New Year."

"I found a job at World Geographic and went abroad to work with them after the New Year."

"So..." Zhang Xiaoyuan looked around carefully and found that no one around him had any intention of refutation, so he relaxed.

“In the new year, I hope I don’t get fired!”

Cai Wenshu was stunned for a moment, then clapped her hands with joy.

"Okay, okay! I remember that I was the one who gave you your name."

"'This little garden contains all the beauty of spring.' Now, all the beauty of the world is in your hands."

"It's my turn next!" Gu Nianzhi interrupted.

“I hope that in the new year, Jianye will not go bankrupt!”

Shen Xilu made a sound of disgust.

"What's the big deal? To run a business, you need to be ambitious!"

"As a man, how can you be without ambition?"

"You!" Shen Xilu turned his gaze to Shen Xiling on the other side, "What are your plans for the new year?"

His eyes were stern and his tone was serious.

But Shen Xiling just shrugged, tilted his head and thought about it, then smiled gently.

"My words..."

"I will try to prevent Shen's from falling into my hands."

"you!"

Shen Xilu was so angry that his beard stood up and everyone laughed.

"Okay, I don't care!" Shen Xilu looked at Lu Ranran again, "Ranran, what about you? What are your goals for the New Year?"

Lu Ranran grinned.

“There is no goal, but there is a wish.”

"tell me the story."

"I hope that the TV series we collaborated on this time can be broadcast smoothly!"

When Shen Xilu heard this, he immediately made a statement.

"necessary!"

"If anyone dares to stop you, let my unlucky grandson come forward--"

Cai Wenshu stopped Shen Xilu from speaking.

"Okay, enough of the nonsense."

"What good can your unfortunate grandson do?"

"When we become famous, he will have to pay for us!"

These words made Lu Ranran look horrified.

Unexpectedly, Shen Xiling nodded in approval and raised his glass to gesture to Lu Ranran.

"Yes."

"When Ran Ran becomes famous, I will retire and go back to school."

This sounds ridiculous.

Lu Ranran turned around and met Shen Xiling's eyes.

Although that pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were smiling, there was something more indescribable in them.

Shen Xiling curled the corners of his mouth and smiled at Lu Ranran with relief.

He seemed to be saying, this is a joke, don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself.

But Lu Ranran felt a little more inexplicable emotions in her heart.

It's hard to tell what it is. Happy? Sad? Melancholy? Regret?

neither.

Later, Lu Ranran understood this slightly chilly emotion that made people reluctant to touch but unable to look away.

It's called cherishing.
