After Zhou Xiaoding thought for four or ten minutes in the bathroom, Ke Yuning knocked on the door.

"Xiao Ding, what's the matter with you? Haven't come out yet? It's almost twelve o'clock."

Zhou Xiaoding was still watching the so-called popular science content, but was startled by his voice, his hand trembled and the phone fell to the ground, Zhou Xiaoding said "ah", and Ke Yuning outside hurriedly knocked on the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Xiaoding picked up the phone and said with a guilty conscience, "No... I'll come out right away."

He opened the door and came out with a guilty expression on his face. Ke Yuning pulled him to his side worriedly and asked, "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Xiaoding shook his head: "No discomfort."

Ke Yuning probed his forehead and found nothing: "It's fine, it's almost twelve o'clock, let's watch the New Year together."

Zhou Xiaoding nodded heavily and his eyes sparkled. Since his grandmother passed away, he has spent the New Year alone for the past three years. It is a wonderful feeling that someone is watching the New Year with him today.

The two sat on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala. With the countdown on TV, Ke Yuning hugged Zhou Xiaoding and whispered in his ear: "Five, four, three, two, one, Happy New Year Zhou Xiaoding."

"Unforgettable Tonight" sounded on the TV, and the sound of "thumping" fireworks outside the house resounded through the sky, and the fireworks bloomed in the sky one after another. Tears glistened in Zhou Xiaoding's eyes. He buried his head in Ke Yuning's arms and said in a low voice : "Happy New Year Ke Yuning."

The new year is always full of expectations. In the new year, some people wish for academic progress, some wish for a smooth career, some wish for a happy family, and some wish for the happiness of their lover. In the new year, we all hope dreaming of the best.

The same goes for Zhou Xiaoding, but maybe his fate is really not going well. He dominated the headlines on the first day of the new year. After waking up and having breakfast, Zhou Xiaoding went downstairs to find that everyone looked at him strangely, especially Ke Yuning's grandparents and even his grandparents. There was also a forced smile when he called them.

Not to mention other relatives, although Zhou Xiaoding didn't say anything on the surface, Zhou Xiaoding still keenly caught a trace of disdain. Zhou Xiaoding has seen this kind of look too much, he is too familiar, he has no idea what happened, he is in a daze Looking at Ke Yuning ignorantly, Ke Yuning also frowned slightly and seemed puzzled.

After breakfast, Grandma Ke wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully, and looked at Zhou Xiaoding with a faint smile: "Xiaoding, you and I go to the garden for a walk, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Xiaoding nodded, wiped his mouth and quickly stood up. He wanted to help the old lady up, but the old lady cleverly dodged it first. Attitudes have changed so much.

Grandma Ke walked in front, and Zhou Xiaoding followed neatly. Ke Yuning got up and said, "I want to be together too."

Grandpa Ke held Ke Yuning and said in an unquestionable tone: "Come and watch the morning news with me."

Ke Yuning frowned: "Grandpa."

Grandpa Ke said sternly, "Be obedient."

Zhou Xiaoding shook his head at him, expressing that he was fine, and then he followed Grandma Ke to the garden. Grandma Ke didn't say anything along the way, and neither did Zhou Xiaoding, who followed behind. man.

After arriving in the garden, Grandma Ke went to sit on a chair in the garden, and Zhou Xiaoding stood in front of her.

The servant quickly brought tea and snacks, Grandma Ke took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Xiao Ding, you are a good boy, grandma can see this, if our family is an ordinary family, then grandma is very appreciative of you and Xiao Ning is together, but now your family history will affect the Ke family, after all, the Ke family still has so many people in the political and business circles, we can't afford to lose face."

Zhou Xiaoding stared at her blankly: "My background?"

Grandma Ke nodded slightly: "Maybe you don't know yet, your father posted a video on Weibo today calling you and Xiao Ning by name. His father answered a lot of phone calls in the morning because of this matter, if the old man and I hadn't pressed you, Xiao Ning's mother would have driven you out of the house."

Her words made Zhou Xiaoding's face turn pale, and he repeated: "My father?"

Grandma Ke nodded, her expression was a little cold: "I can see that he is just a young man, and he just wants money. This happened more than an hour ago, and the old man also checked it. Probably because the money that Xiao Ning gave him was squandered, he blackmailed him for money, but Xiao Jin didn’t reply, and the other party intervened, and gave him a big price to slander Xiao Ning and you on the Internet.”

Having said that, she paused and continued: "Today is the first day of the new year. Everyone is at home on the first day of the new year. It is indeed a good time for this kind of news to break out. The news cannot be blocked or suppressed. This matter is very important to us. The Ke family has a great influence, Xiao Ning's father is still on the rise, Xiao Ning's mother wants you to separate, I have discussed with the old man, I hope you will separate in the near future, and we will be together again after this matter fades out of everyone's sight."

The new year, the beautiful expectations, not all of them can be fulfilled, but Zhou Xiaoding didn't expect it to come so soon.

The soreness filled his nose, and he suppressed the emotion of crying and whispered: "I see."

Seeing this, Grandma Ke sighed: "Good boy, you can still be together."

Zhou Xiaoding didn't speak, his tears kept rolling in his eyes, he wasn't sad because Grandma Ke said that he and Ke Yuning were separated, he was sad because why was it him again?

Why did his parents refuse to let him go?Why does he have such parents?Why did he lose everyone he finally met?

Zhou Xiaoding whispered: "Grandma, can I ask you to do me a favor?"

Grandma Ke looked at him suspiciously, Zhou Xiaoding twitched the corners of her mouth, and pulled out a broken smile: "Ke Yuning knew that he would definitely have conflicts with you about this matter. Hand it over to me?"

Grandma Ke looked at him straight, and just when Zhou Xiaoding couldn't help crying, Grandma Ke nodded: "Good boy, I'm sorry for you."

She really likes Zhou Xiaoding, but she is still not an ordinary woman. Zhou Xiaoding's existence will affect her son's career and may even bring more trouble to the Ke family. The only choice in front of her is to choose the family.

Zhou Xiaoding tidied up his emotions and returned to the room to pack his luggage. Ke Yuning came in with a cold face: "Grandma told you about your father?"

Zhou Xiaoding smiled easily: "Yes, don't be so fierce. Grandma was very gentle to me and comforted me."
