Sheng Yueqing and He Yushen were in a good mood because they had rejected the unreasonable demands of both companies in one go.

The two happily went back to have their New Year's Eve dinner.

The next day, I went to deliver New Year's gifts to some guests.

They didn't understand these things in their past lives, but they've learned about these social customs in this life.

Sheng Yueqing prepared a large number of exquisite New Year's gifts.

They went door-to-door to deliver the gifts to their previous customers, offering New Year's greetings and blessings.

The wealthy ladies, seeing that the gifts she gave were all quite nice, accepted them with smiles.

They didn't underestimate Sheng Yueqing, and they knew not to underestimate a young man's potential; perhaps he could become a big boss in the future.

After visiting the clients, Sheng Yueqing took He Yushen to visit Teacher Chen.

And Professor Qin.

And He Yushen's friends.

The New Year's gifts she brought looked very high-end, and He Yushen's friends felt embarrassed to receive them and wanted to give her gifts in return.

Since they don't have children yet, all they received were local specialties that they could keep at home to eat.

Finally, there's the Sheng family.

Mrs. Sheng and Sheng Jingheng did not return to Kyoto, so Sheng Yueqing brought large and small bags over.

It was all food.

Mrs. Sheng looked delighted. "You made so much food for us?"

Sheng Yueqing took He Yushen's arm and introduced, "Actually, it was Brother Jiashen who made it."

He Yushen scratched his head sheepishly, "My wife said you guys like salty food, so I made a little extra."

These are all ordinary home-style dishes, but because He Yushen is a skilled cook, they taste exceptionally delicious.

He even added a splash of chili, making it incredibly fragrant and tempting.

But it's not very spicy; it just whets the appetite.

Mrs. Sheng really liked them and quickly invited them in to sit down.

"Since you're here, why don't you eat together?"

Since Sheng Jingheng is the only one in the family, Mrs. Sheng is very welcoming to have a couple more guests.

Sheng Yueqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's eat together then."

She could tell that Mrs. Sheng was a little lonely, and remembering how Mrs. Sheng had always taken care of her business, she came in to keep her company.

Shengjing Heng was also there.

Seeing the couple enter hand in hand, he frowned slightly.

But they still came down to say hello.

"You've arrived?"

He Yushen raised his head arrogantly and made a "hmm" sound.

Mrs. Sheng smiled and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes. You two sit for a while."

He Yushen immediately went to help.

Sheng Yueqing laid out the snacks and dried fruit on the sofa.

With the two of them around, the festive atmosphere of the New Year is instantly there.

Sheng Jingheng watched from the side, feeling for the first time the warmth and human touch of home in his own home.

In the past, even though I had a large family in Kyoto, I didn't feel any warmth during the New Year.

Instead, they had a business-like meal and then went their separate ways.

Watching Sheng Yueqing go into the kitchen to help, and seeing the young couple standing on either side of Mrs. Sheng, it actually felt like they were the family of three.

Just then, Assistant Sun came to report, "Young Master, Miss Huang Nianyan and Miss Hu Cai'er have arrived."

These two dared to barge in when Sheng Jingheng wasn't home.

Upon learning that Sheng Jingheng was at home, he obediently waited outside.

Assistant Sun felt that Huang Nianyan and Hu Cai'er were hypocritical.

But it's not appropriate to say this in front of Sheng Jingheng.

Sheng Jingheng frowned slightly, clearly disliking the two as well.

Especially when there are guests at home.

She asked her assistant, Sun, to send the person away, not wanting to spoil her mother's mood.

Otherwise, I'll lose my appetite.

When Huang Nianyan heard that there were guests at home, she wanted to come in and see.

Assistant Sun stopped her, saying, "Miss Huang, the young master said that he has guests at home and it's inconvenient. Please come again next time."

Huang Nianyan looked at her coldly, "Sun Caili, don't think you can treat me like this just because Brother Heng is home. Be careful, or I'll kick you out one day."

Assistant Sun smirked, "That's what the young master ordered, so I'll just report back like that. I'm paid to do what he says, right?"

These words were a veiled criticism of Huang Nianyan for taking money from Old Master Sheng but not obeying his orders.

Huang Nianyan narrowed her eyes slightly. If glares could kill, Assistant Sun would have been torn to pieces by now.

Hu Cai'er didn't make a fuss. Instead, she asked, "Who is the guest who came to our house? Is it Brother Aheng's boss?"

If it's an important guest, she won't go in, to avoid causing trouble.

The situation of the Hu family is currently unclear. Although no orders have been issued and the Hu family has not been arrested, she dares not cause trouble at this critical juncture.

In case something happens and no one comes to her rescue.

Huang Nianyan also wanted to know what kind of guests had come to her home.

If it's an important person, she'd like to go in and get to know them.

He pushed aside Assistant Sun and ran inside.

"Brother Aheng, I've come to wish you a Happy New Year."

As soon as I ran in, the first thing I saw was Sheng Yueqing, who was more beautiful than any flower.

Sheng Yueqing was wearing a black turtleneck sweater today, with a small necklace around her neck.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore jeans, which made her legs look long and straight.

Especially after she went to Shanghai, her skin became even whiter and more delicate.

The wispy bangs framing her forehead made her look delicate and charming.

With her curvaceous figure, not only men but also women would be envious.

Huang Nianyan's eyes immediately turned cold.

He looked at Sheng Yueqing like a venomous snake.

Sheng Yueqing heard the noise and looked up.

Then I saw Huang Nianyan's jealous eyes.

She frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable with Huang Nianyan's gaze.

Could this be Huang Nianyan, the woman Mrs. Sheng despises?

Seeing Huang Nianyan's rudeness, Sheng Jingheng's face turned cold. "Who let you barge in?"

"Brother Heng~"

Huang Nianyan wanted to grab Sheng Jingheng's hand as soon as she saw him.
