After dinner, the nanny took out two red envelopes and gave them to Ruan Yunxi.

"Happy New Year's Eve. This is your son-in-law's first time in Shanghai. As an elder, I should give you a red envelope. Please accept it and don't be shy." The nanny and Ruan Yunxi had a good relationship. Apart from those who went abroad, Ruan Yunxi didn't have many elders in China now.

She, as a nanny, could only refer to herself as an elder.

Ruan Yunxi smiled and accepted it: "Thank you, Granny!"

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Weizhou and asked him to accept the red envelope.

Gu Weizhou then accepted the red envelope from the nanny: "Thank you, nanny!"

"Good children, all of you take good care of yourselves, and may the coming year bring you good fortune." The only person the old woman was worried about now was Ruan Yunxi.

If this child she watched grow up is doing well, then the old woman can rest in peace in the afterlife.

After sitting with the old woman at home for a while, it got late at night, and the couple went back to the guesthouse hand in hand to rest.

Seeing that the old woman was all alone, Ruan Yunxi hugged Gu Weizhou's arm and asked, "I'd like to take the old woman to Lian City. Is that alright?"

"I'll apply for it." Gu Weizhou knew that Ruan Yunxi was worried about the nanny.

"Thank you!" Ruan Yunxi felt relieved. She knew that Gu Weizhou could basically keep his promises.

Ruan Yunxi had also inquired and learned that if the nanny wanted to go to Lian City, since she was not a direct relative, she could only go through the route of seeking refuge, and then renew the visa when the time came. The procedures were a bit troublesome, but it was not impossible to do so.

Ruan Yunxi was worried about leaving Granny alone in Shanghai.

The old woman was getting on in years, and she knew that she would have an accident next year.

If she were taken to Lian City, the old woman could avoid the accident that almost cost her her life.

Ruan Yunxi didn't want anything to happen to the nanny.

Shanghai was bustling during the Spring Festival, as many people who had gone to the countryside returned to Shanghai, and the Bund was crowded with people.

The alleyways are even more lively.

On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, many state-run stores were not open, and Ruan Yunxi and her group ate the supplies they had stockpiled beforehand.

The nanny kept making delicious food for herself.

Ruan Yunxi felt that she had gained weight in the few days since she came back.

That day, the young couple went to buy groceries and bought some prawns. When they came back, they heard the old lady talking to someone. When Ruan Yunxi went back to check, she realized it was Aunt Wang, whom she had met at the hair salon before the New Year.

Aunt Wang appeared with her daughter Wang Xiang. Upon seeing Ruan Yunxi, who looked radiant and healthy, as if she were still the young lady she used to be, Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment: "Yunxi, you're back!"

"Why are you here?" Ruan Yunxi asked in surprise.

"My mom said you've returned to Shanghai, and since we've run into each other, she'd like to invite you and your husband to our house for a meal." Wang Xiang extended a warm invitation, her gaze shifting from Ruan Yunxi's pretty, rosy face to the handsome and dashing Gu Weizhou.

My heart skipped a beat, and I was consumed by jealousy.

She married very well!

Given her status, she was able to marry a military officer.

They're so lucky.

"No need for a meal, let's just go for coffee." Ruan Yunxi asked Gu Weizhou and the nanny to cook together, and she invited Wang Xiang and her daughter to a coffee shop. Shanghai is different from other cities; here, there are coffee shops and pastry shops.

The three of them sat in a coffee shop that had just opened that day, but it was already quite crowded.

Even in this era, the Shanghai stock market is not significantly affected.

The fact that coffee shops can still operate proves this point.
