748 Returning to the Shi Family’s Old Residence to Collect New Year’s Money

“This isn’t an ordinary treadmill.”

“What’s the difference?” Shi Xi was puzzled.

“This is a dance machine.”

Shi Xi was speechless.

Speechless really f*cking opened the door for speechless.

She was speechless.

Why would Grandpa Shi use such a thing?

Shi Xi had bought some good tea and tea sets for Grandpa Shi.

After they were all loaded into the car, everyone prepared to return to the old residence.

Shi Chen looked at Xie Yunzhou. “We’re going back to the old residence for the New Year.”

Xie Yunzhou had guessed it when he saw their lively actions.

However, no one chased him away.

“I was just about to go home.” Xie Yunzhou didn’t say much.

Mother Shi was overflowing with kindness. “Aiya, what’s the point of you being alone? Come back with us for the New Year. We don’t lack food for you.”

Shi Shuo’s mouth twitched. “Mom, we’re going back to the old residence.”

“Get in the car,” Mother Shi urged.

As a mother, she would never see someone alone.

Shi Xi: “…”

“Xi Xi, take Yunzhou’s car and lead the way for him,” Mother Shi instructed.

When Mother Shi spoke, no one else had any objections.

However, the way she looked at Xie Yunzhou was even stranger.

Shi Xi got into Xie Yunzhou’s car and gave him a heads-up. “Let me say this first. My grandfather has a strange personality and doesn’t like anyone. If you get scolded, just bear with it.”

It was the New Year.

“Alright. What does Grandpa like?” Xie Yunzhou asked as he drove. “I’m going to buy something.”

“There’s no need to bring it… Buy some wine.” Shi Xi thought that he indeed had to bring something when he went to someone else’s house.

However…

Why did this process seem like an engagement?

When they arrived at the old residence, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and the rest of the family had already arrived and were chatting with Grandpa Shi.

At that time, there were many families and big businesses.

After Shi Xi gave the gift, she hid her presence.

Fortunately, the others did not spoil the atmosphere. They only secretly asked Xie Yunzhou who he was and why he was here for the New Year.

“He’s Big Brother’s friend. He’s here to suck up to Grandpa.”

Hearing this reason, Xie Yunzhou was speechless. _{Please visit 𝑓r𝙚ew𝚎𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝗲𝘭. c𝘰m}

That was a good reason. She was not allowed to use it again.

With a large family, it was not obvious if there was one more person or one less.

After Shi Xi gave the gift, she pulled Xie Yunzhou to the garden of the old residence.

“There are many people at home. They don’t mean you any harm. Don’t take it to heart,” Shi Xi said apologetically.

“I only care about what you think,” Xie Yunzhou smiled faintly.

Shi Xi shifted her gaze and changed the topic. “There’s a pavilion over there. It’s the best when it’s snowing.”

“Do you come here every year for the New Year?” Xie Yunzhou sized up the garden and tried to find out about Shi Xi’s past.

“Yes, it’s a tradition at home. The whole family will have lunch together. We’ll eat dumplings tonight, watch the fireworks, and then get our lucky money,” Shi Xi recalled.

Xie Yunzhou’s eyes moved slightly. “Sounds good.”

“It’s always like this…” As Shi Xi spoke, she thought of Xie Yunzhou who was celebrating the New Year alone. She changed the topic stiffly. “Actually, it’s very annoying. They like to brag when they drink and smoke. I always run away after eating.”

Xie Yunzhou looked at the girl with a gentle gaze and said from the bottom of his heart, “Xi Xi, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life.”

Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘Meeting you is one of the most unlucky things in my life.’

Grandpa Shi had been looking forward to his granddaughters’ return since yesterday. He had even specially picked out a handsome new set of clothes.

In the end, Shi Xi gave the gift and sneaked away.

His biological granddaughter Ning Yu didn’t like to talk and was cold.

Angry.
