While others face unemployment upon graduation, Chen Jinyue faced bankruptcy. Waking up one day, she inherited millions in debt. Her younger brother absconded with all the cash, fleeing abroad. To ...
Chapter 665 Why am I dreaming before I even go to sleep?
"Here it is! The soup is here! My sister made it herself, you should enjoy it!" Rong Xubai emphasized the word 'enjoyably', his smile full of meaning.
No one noticed.
I was a little surprised to hear that Chen Jinyue made it himself.
"This child is so filial."
"I'm so busy every day and yet I still want to cook. I must try it."
"It smells delicious, no wonder it's cooked by my granddaughter!"
“…”
As Rong Xubai heard the praise, his smile deepened and his fox eyes narrowed.
Remember your expressions at this moment.
Don't get angry with me later.
Looking forward to it.
Looking forward to their reactions.
Should I force myself to praise you, or should I grit my teeth and change my expression?
He thought about the terrible taste...
He voted for a face-changing!
After all, it's not just bitter, it's unpalatable, attacking both the taste buds and the stomach, making you want to vomit uncontrollably!
While I was lost in thought, I saw that everyone at the table started drinking, showing great support.
Even Rong Xingye, who had put down his chopsticks early, silently picked up the small bowl.
Under his expectant gaze, Zhou's mother spoke first.
"Oh my god! Yiyi's cooking skills are so good?!"
"It's delicious! Very fresh!"
"You are in for a treat. This is my first time trying her cooking."
“…”
Rong Xubai's smile gradually disappeared, and listening to these voices, he felt a little bit unbelievable.
No, how could they say this without changing their expression?
It doesn't look like he's pretending!
Is it really good?
He picked up the bowl that belonged to him, without adding any ingredients, and took a sip.
It’s really good.
wrong.
This has nothing to do with the soup.
Mainly that pill.
He scanned everyone's faces, making sure they weren't pretending, that they truly thought it was delicious...
He got up silently and slipped into the kitchen, just in time to meet Chen Jinyue who had cleaned up the kitchen and was about to come out.
He lowered his voice and asked in surprise, "What's going on, sister? Why isn't it hard to drink? Didn't you give them the same pills as me?"
"It's different!" Chen Jinyue said confidently.
Seeing the other person's dumbfounded expression, he added, "Actually, it's not completely different."
Rong Xubai, "???"
"The one you have was made by me, and the one they eat was made by my master. My master is very powerful and can make pills of various flavors." Chen Jinyue explained kindly.
Rong Xu's pale face fell, "Sister, you have changed! You have become less confident! And you still bother your master, what you cultivate is the best!"
Chen Jinyue glanced at him and said, "Shao Pin, don't think I don't know your dark thoughts!"
"I'm not shady at all. I just want them to be treated equally..."
"Grandpa wasn't feeling well and you didn't tell me. I haven't settled the score with you yet! Remember that!" Chen Jinyue was too lazy to pay attention to him and just held a grudge against him in person.
Rong Xubai followed her out, "Grandpa won't let me talk about it. It's just an old problem."
Chen Jinyue suddenly stopped and turned to look at him scrutinizingly.
"You know my medicine can cure old ailments, and I've given you the management rights to the new medicine. Have you ever thought about giving it to Grandpa?"
“…”
Rong Xubai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to ask this.
He thought she was blaming him.
Subconsciously, I explained, "Your medicine is confidential. If you don't tell me, I have no right to embezzle it. Grandpa also refused to tell you. What can I do at this time?"
We can only wait for her to find out.
Besides.
It's not that serious.
When things really got serious, he wasn't so dumb that he really said nothing and let things get worse.
Chen Jinyue was somewhat surprised by his answer and had a new understanding of him.
She had never imagined that he would define his responsibilities so clearly. Having agreed to a confidential cooperation, he hadn't disclosed anything to anyone, not even his family.
She suddenly realized that this was also a very trustworthy person.
No one in the Rong family had ever let her down when it came to her affairs...
She reached up and patted his shoulder soothingly.
He went out with the bowl.
Rong Xubai was confused by her attitude.
"No, what does she mean? Is she angry? What is she angry about? This is my most rational judgment. Grandpa is not that serious!"
Doctors are not freeloaders and will do their best to treat the old man according to his condition.
He turned around and sent a message for help to Zhou Yichuan with some confusion.
Zhou Yichuan looked at him with a smile, slowly stood up, and walked around him to go out.
He left with a sentence, "Maybe I have a new respect for you."
Rong Xubai, "???"
Is this a nice thing to say or an insult?
I have lost my confidence because of him and his wife!
…
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the elders give red envelopes to the younger generations.
Neither family has any younger generations.
Therefore, people of Chen Jinyue's generation can still receive big red envelopes even if they get married.
certainly.
Chen Jinyue also prepared gifts.
Everyone received an amulet she drew herself.
She gave the two elderly people some so-called health supplements, but in fact they were some decent elixirs she had made herself. The effects weren't as good as the ones Yu Xincheng had given them, but they were still very useful.
I prepared carefully selected jewelry for my mother and mother-in-law, as well as beauty products with no logos, beauty pills, etc.
Mother Zhou took it with a smile and secretly resolved in her heart that she would never let her rebellious son go away this time.
I suffered before because I didn’t understand my daughter-in-law.
Let that guy take advantage.
As soon as the elders’ gifts were distributed, Rong Xubai came over.
"Sister, Happy New Year! I wish you and your brother-in-law love, sweetness, and happiness! Gift, do I have a special gift?" The boy's eyes were bright and full of anticipation.
I don't know if it's because they've gotten closer and he's become more shameless, or if it's because he had a few too many drinks tonight, but this guy has lost some of his arrogance and annoying side.
It does make people look more pleasing to the eye.
Chen Jinyue took the prepared red envelope and didn't rush to give it. Instead, he asked, "What gift do you want?"
Rong Xubai bared his white teeth and began to make wishes without hesitation, "Anywhere door, teleportation, mind reading, memory tampering..."
"Just take a shower and go to bed."
Chen Jinyue stuffed the red envelope into his arms and interrupted him coldly.
Why am I dreaming before I even go to sleep?
…
The night is thick.
As the countdown ended and the New Year’s bells rang, "Unforgettable Tonight" was playing on TV.
The new year has arrived.
The bustling hustle and bustle gradually subsided, and the laughter and chatter in the Rong family's old house gradually died down. Only the bright red lanterns in the yard still emitted a festive light, silently dispelling the darkness and cold...
In the bedroom on the second floor.
The heating was on full blast.
After taking a shower, Chen Jinyue put on a thin nightgown, sat cross-legged on the bed, and fiddled with some messy books.
After putting everything in place, she counted her bottles and jars one by one.
The large bed was soon filled with people.
Just like setting up a street stall.
This is what Zhou Yichuan saw when he came out.
Sun Xue jumped violently and said in disgust, "You put everything on the bed, isn't it dirty?"
Chen Jinyue paused for a moment, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with even more disdain, "Don't you know there's a technique called cleaning? It's not dirty at all!"
Zhou Yichuan, “…”
