Chapter 84 I’m really going to be single forever!!

Gu Xiangsi turned sideways, and the slap brushed her cheek. She grabbed Gu Xiangning's wrist with her backhand and swung it hard.

Gu Xianglian stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching her slapped hand and screaming, "Gu Xiangsi! You're a shrew!"

"If I'm a shrew, then what are you?"

Gu Xiangsi looked down at her with a cold gaze, "A gossipy woman who stirs up trouble and confuses right and wrong?"

Gu Xianglian raised her eyes, looked down at Gu Xiangsi, and sneered: "Gu Xiangsi, do you think that Master Lu will like you just because you are like this? If he knew that you were seen naked and ravaged by those people, and those thugs..."

"What did you say?" Gu Xiangsi interrupted her, her voice tense.

Gu Xianglian seemed to have just realized his slip of the tongue and turned his head to the side. "I didn't say anything. People like you deserve to be bullied and exploited by thousands of people."

Gu Xiangsi half-knelt down and grabbed her collar: "Five years ago, it had something to do with you, right?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Gu Xianglian turned his face away, his eyes a little vague.

Gu Xiangsi grabbed her neck, obviously using some force, and Gu Xianglian slapped her with her hands.

"Dad... Dad Gu Xiangsi..."

Gu Xiangsi turned around, and Gu Xianglian took the opportunity to push her and stood up.

She staggered for a moment before she stood firm, her eyes fixed on Gu Xianglian. It seemed that the matter was closely related to the Gu family.

She just didn't expect that the one who hurt her the most would be the Gu family.

"Gu Xianglian, it's better not to let me know anything."

After saying that, Gu Xiangsi turned around to look at the Gu family villa, then straightened up, picked up her bag, and walked forward along the asphalt road.

——

Afraid that Lin Xiu would get carsick on the road, Gu Xiangsi specially rented a business car so that she could lie in the back seat.

There were two suitcases in the car, as well as some scattered gifts.

Nanyu and Qin Shiwei bought them before the New Year so that they could take them back to Lam Tsuen and give them to their neighbors.

Lin Xiu seemed very excited as she walked around, muttering, "It's been a long time since I've been back home."

"Grandma, when you recover, we will renovate the old house."

"good."

At the annual meeting of the Si Nian Group, Jiang Liangchen, Duan Jingwen and others took turns speaking, and what they said were nothing more than polite remarks.

Next was the moment when the boss gave bonuses to the employees. Fu Sinian came on stage and said a few words before asking Li Xiaoyao to call up the leaders with outstanding performance and give them awards one by one.

He sat down in the president's chair nearby, picked up his phone and casually scrolled through it.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the circle of friends is particularly lively.

His gaze stopped in astonishment at the debtor's circle of friends. His finger paused and clicked on the photo.

It is a photo of a woman and an old man. The woman is smiling brightly and the old man is looking at the camera.

The following pictures are the scenery along the way.

Where are we going back to?

It's really troublesome.

Since that day, he and she had never met again. But somewhere, it seemed as if there was some invisible connection between them, quietly flowing.

She clearly wanted to draw a line between herself and him.

For the party, the Si Nian Group booked the Peninsula Hotel. Hundreds of people from the head office gathered there, and leaders from the branch offices also came.

Everyone discussed at the dinner table how to celebrate the New Year.

Lu Liang spoke first: "Let's go to Aocheng on the third day of the New Year."

Jiang Liangchen continued: "My family is probably in the same situation. We are going to grandma's house."

Only Duan Jingwen remained silent. He looked at Fu Sinian and asked, "Sinian, what about you?"

Fu Sinian casually shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the dark red liquid inside, and said lightly.

"The company is going on a New Year's team-building trip, and all expenses are covered by the company."

"Oh my god, you won the lottery?" Lu Liang was surprised. "Where are you going?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing more.

——

Gu Xiangsi and Lin Xiu stood in front of the two-and-a-half-story brick house they built themselves. Lin Xiu looked at the familiar house with tears in her eyes.

"Sister Lin is back."

Two elderly men in their seventies quickly walked out of the room with warm smiles on their faces.

Gu Xiangsi was a little surprised that the people in Lin Village were so simple and honest.

Knowing they were coming back, I helped clean the house early.

Lin Xiu has been ill these years, and the house has been taken care of by the villagers.

Several old sisters gathered together and chatted lively for a while. Gu Xiangsi took out the gifts she brought and distributed them to them, but several of them waved their hands and refused to accept them.

Gu Xiangsi pretended to be angry, and then they took it.

"Oh, Xiangsi really looks like her mother." One of them looked at Gu Xiangsi and sighed with a smile. As soon as he said that, he seemed to remember something and quickly changed the subject.

After the Little New Year, the festive atmosphere in the village becomes more and more intense, with the sounds of brooms sweeping the dust and the hustle and bustle of preparing New Year's goods rising one after another.

Gu Xiangsi was always worried that Lin Xiu would get tired, so she didn't let her do more. But Lin Xiu smiled and said, "It feels better to move."

The two went to Tai Po Market to buy New Year goods.

I filled half a bag with melon seeds, candies, and candied fruits, and picked out oranges and apples for good luck.

Gu Xiangsi has been living abroad these years, and has given all his money to his uncle's family. He only has enough for his living, and makes a living by working. He often eats boxed lunches. Although he has improved his picky eating habits, his cooking skills are still rusty, and he only knows how to make a few of the simplest meat dishes.

Lin Xiu took her aside to teach her how to pick fresh pork belly, shrimps, squid, radish, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, saying that they wanted to make a hot pot together.

She also bought some spring couplets and red paper-cuts. Gu Xiangsi was carrying the things when she suddenly turned around, but she only saw a black shadow disappearing quickly on the corner of the street.

She stopped and Lin Xiu asked her what was wrong, and Gu Xiangsi shook her head.

At the same time, Fu Xianhan did not dare to bring Zhao Xiaoshan back home because of Fu Sinian's warning, so the villa seemed empty.

On the contrary, Fu Sinian's manor in Deep Water Bay became lively. The servants gathered here to work. Bunches of New Year flowers were neatly arranged, custom-made lanterns were hung in the villa, and even the corners were filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

It was rare to see both brothers idle away. Fu Jia was writing Spring Festival couplets at the desk, while Fu Sinian was sitting beside him, video chatting remotely with his laptop.

Zhou Wanrong looked at the two of them and smiled softly: "Let's have a good New Year as a family this year."

She walked over to Fu Sinian and happened to catch a glimpse of Lika in the video. She smiled and said hello: "Lika, Happy New Year! Why don't you come back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"There's an important project in the company here that we have to keep an eye on, otherwise we won't be at ease." Rika's voice came from the receiver.

"Thank you for your hard work. Be sure to come back for a reunion after the New Year." Zhou Wanrong urged, then turned to Fu Sinian, "Sinian, pick me up when the time comes."

Fu Sinian responded and said to the screen: "Happy New Year, Lika."

"Happy New Year." Rika smiled and hung up the video.

Zhou Wanrong then looked at her son: "You said you were going on a blind date last time, have you forgotten?"

"Did I say that?" Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows.

"You wouldn't really be with that..."

"Mom." Fu Sinian interrupted her, "If you keep doing this, I'll be single forever."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft," Zhou Wanrong quickly waved her hands, "It's New Year's Day, don't say that!"

"Ask my brother what's going on with his rumored girlfriend?" Fu Sinian shifted the blame.

Fu Jia paused writing with the brush and looked over.
