It was near the end of the year, and it was the busiest time. The Xie family had a huge business, and someone was secretly causing trouble. Xie Yunjing could no longer remain at ease. He was busy every day. When he got home, he hugged Gu Xian and fell asleep. He had no energy to do anything else.
In order to schedule the release date of "Legend of Songshan" before the end of the year, Gu Xian is very busy.
The two of them had been busy like a top for most of the month, and finally they had finished what they needed to do. Now they could take a break, catch their breath, and think about how to spend the Spring Festival.
For families like the Xie and Gu families, they would of course have a grand New Year's Eve celebration. All the other relatives, whether they like it or not, had to come to their house first to have the first New Year's Eve dinner.
Although Gu Leyu lost her trophy and the title of "genius" for bribing the judges, Gu Rongcai and Yan Lingfang confessed to the bribery in a timely and proactive manner before the court prosecuted them, and were exempted from other penalties and only had to pay a fine.
Although Gu Rongcai tried to curry favor with the Xie family, he would not give up even the sovereignty of the "first New Year's Eve dinner", which symbolizes face. Gu Xian and Xie Yunjing would inevitably have to communicate about how to eat this New Year's Eve dinner.
Although they escaped other punishments, Gu Rongcai's family of three lost face. Xie Yunjing thought that Gu Xian would undoubtedly agree to go to the Xie family to celebrate the New Year with him, but Gu Xian's answer surprised him.
He looked at Gu Xian puzzledly: "You want to go back home to celebrate the New Year?"
Afterwards, Gu Rongcai brought Yan Lingfang and Gu Leyu to apologize with a shameless face. During the whole process, Gu Leyu behaved very respectfully in front of Gu Xian. It was unknown how long he had practiced at home.
However, no matter how well this family of three disguised themselves, he and Gu Xian knew that they were full of resentment in their hearts and only endured it for the sake of profit.
"Yes." Gu Xian hadn't had time to play games for more than half a month, and now he finally had some free time, fighting in the game in full swing.
Xie Yunjing was unhappy that his attention wasn't on him, but he also felt bad that he hadn't had a good rest during this period. In the end, he didn't stop him from playing games. He just hugged him and took advantage of him while asking, "Aren't you afraid that they will give you a hard time?"
"They dare not." Gu Xian said nonchalantly, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.
He raised his eyes, looked at Xie Yunjing and smiled: "You just stood up for me, and they know you are my backer. Even if they are unwilling, they dare not say anything. They can only pinch their noses to please me. Haven't I shown off enough power?"
"..." Xie Yunjing looked at him for a moment and pinched his nose, "Little rascal."
Gu Xian immediately protested: "Take your hands off me! You're getting in the way of me playing games!"
Xie Yunjing, however, intensified his criticism: "Which is more important, the game or me?"
"You think you can compete with the game, Xie Yunjing!" Gu Xian's hands became messy, and the game character suddenly drifted away.
Xie Yunjing stopped pinching his nose and started biting his neck instead, saying confidently, "You play yours, and I play mine."
Gu Xian couldn't stop himself from betraying his teammates, so he could only let him gnaw on him, cursing under his breath: "Xie Yunjing! Do you still have any shame?"
New Year's Eve.
It snowed last night and the whole yard was covered with a layer of white.
Xie Yunjing stood at the door, snow still falling slowly outside the eaves. He carefully wrapped Gu Xian in his scarf and asked unwillingly, "Are you really not coming with me?"
Gu Xian tugged at her scarf, which was a bit too tight, and said disdainfully, "Don't be so fussy. We're just having a meal separately."
Xie Yunjing's eyes were filled with resentment: "..."
He didn't mind going to Gu Xian's house with him, but Old Master Xie had given him everything the Xie family had. Seriously speaking, he was now the Xie family patriarch. As the head of a clan, he wasn't presiding over the New Year's Eve dinner at his own home, but was instead going to someone else's. If he did that, it would be outrageous, and Old Master Xie would probably be furious.
Gu Xian tutted his words: "Could you please stop being so childish?"
"Why are you wrapping me so tightly? If someone doesn't know, they would think you are trying to strangle me..." He muttered and pulled hard, finally pulling down the layers of scarves to reveal his mouth.
He stood on tiptoe slightly, touched Xie Yunjing's mouth, then pulled Xie Yunjing's scarf and quickly wrapped his face.
"Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful." Gu Xian tied a knot at both ends of the scarf and then pulled it hard to both sides.
Xie Yunjing tilted his head back, then suddenly stepped forward and pressed Gu Xian into his arms.
Gu Xian pressed his face against the soft scarf: "...annoying."
Xie Yunjing held him like a big bear, preventing him from moving. "I'll pick you up from Gu's house tomorrow morning."
Against the backdrop of winter snow, the man's arms appear particularly warm and reliable.
Gu Xian blinked twice and slumped in his arms: "Forget it, I don't really like staying with Gu Leyu and the others. By the time you can get out of the Xie family, I will have come back by myself."
As the head of the family, of course he couldn't just have dinner and leave early in the morning on the first day of the new year.
Xie Yunjing noticed Gu Xian's reliance on him and rubbed him hard: "Then call me. If the situation allows, I will come to pick you up in person. If not, I will send someone to pick you up."
Gu Xian still didn't seem to agree, but he finally stopped objecting and just said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Xie Yunjing let go and pulled his scarf higher: "Don't take it off casually, be careful not to catch a cold."
He finally stepped out from under the eaves and led the person towards the vehicle that had been waiting outside the yard gate for a long time.
The Xie family held their New Year’s Eve dinner in a hotel this year.
In previous years, the Xie family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was held either in the old house or in a suitable old house. But this year the old lady passed away, and Xie Yunjing was afraid that the overly familiar environment would remind the old man of the past, so he chose a place outside.
The Xie family was already a large family, and the New Year was not the time to be stingy, so all relatives from near and far were invited, and they even booked an entire floor of the hotel to make all the arrangements.
No matter how unhappy they were, they always had to pretend during the New Year. Xie Yunjing's uncles pretended to be amiable, and even though Xie Yunjing smiled coldly and perfunctorily in response to their enthusiasm, they still acted as if they understood the younger generation, saying that Xie Yunjing was too busy tonight.
Xie Huaihong, on the other hand, was a little impatient - the scandal of Gu Xian's "cheating" caused by Gu Leyu finally made him realize that he had been fooled by Gu Xian and Xie Yunjing.
Gu Xian and Xie Yunjing teamed up to set a trap for him, and he also gave Gu Xian a large amount of money as a reward. This was tantamount to spending money to suffer a loss, which was extremely embarrassing.
But now Xie Yunjing holds the power, and even his father can't defeat him. No matter how angry he is, he can only grit his teeth and whisper a harsh word while toasting: "Don't be too proud!"
Xie Yunjing clinked his glasses with him sincerely: "Thank you for supporting my and Gu Xian's careers."
Although he was not short of money for Gu Xianhua, it was certainly good if someone was willing to give him money for free.
Xie Huaihong drank silently and returned to his seat, but judging from his expression, his teeth were probably about to break.
Being drunk would only lead to mistakes, so Xie Yunjing did not plan to drink too much. He only limited toasts to his closest relatives.
But it would be bad to offend other relatives who came with their children to pay New Year's greetings. Besides, Mr. Xie was right next to him, and letting him see the children more would also be good for his mood.
When things were getting busy here, the manager in charge of serving their floor hurried over.
There were too many children, so it was inevitable that they would make some noise. Xie Yunjing was not yet at the age where he felt good seeing children, and he had long been a little unable to bear it. So he took the initiative to stand up and motioned the manager to talk to him in a quieter place.
"What's up?"
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Gu Rongcai said they wanted to come over to your place and have a toast. Would you be willing?"
Xie Yunjing was a little surprised and delighted: "The Gu family is also holding the New Year's Eve dinner here?"
"Yes," the manager replied, "they have reserved a hall on the fifth floor."
Ever since Gu Rongcai took over the Gu family, they have always held their New Year's Eve dinner outside, but the venue they chose before was another hotel.
Tonight, the Xie and Gu families' New Year's Eve dinners were held in the same place, clearly a deliberate act by Gu Rongcai. However, for Xie Yunjing at this moment, whether Gu Rongcai did it on purpose or not was irrelevant. The important thing was that he could now see the person he had thought he would not be able to spend New Year's Eve with until tomorrow.
"Take me there."
Xie Yunjing followed the manager with brisk steps, but at the same time he felt a little resentful towards Gu Xian in his heart.
I was clearly in the same place with him, and we could meet in just a matter of going up and down the stairs, but I didn't even send him a message.
After leaving the restaurant, the manager pointed to the service counter and said, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Gu and the others are right there."
Xie Yunjing looked at him with joy, but his expression suddenly changed after he saw the person standing in front of the service desk.
Gu Rongcai, along with his wife and children, hurried forward to congratulate: "Yun Jing, Happy New Year..."
Before he could even utter the word "OK", he was rudely interrupted by Xie Yunjing.
"Where's Gu Xian?"
Gu Rongcai and Yan Lingfang were the only two people at the service counter. Gu Xian, who had said he was going back home for the New Year, was nowhere to be seen. Gu Rongcai had come to curry favor with him and there was no way he would intentionally leave Gu Xian behind.
"Gu, Gu Xian?" Gu Rongcai looked bewildered. "Didn't he celebrate the New Year with you, Yun Jing?"
Yan Lingfang and Gu Leyu also looked surprised, and it didn't look like they were faking it.
But Xie Yunjing became even more annoyed with this family.
"Drive them away!"
He spoke to the manager with a sullen face, then turned and left without any courtesy, but he was secretly anxious in his heart.
Since he didn’t celebrate the New Year with Gu Rongcai’s family of three, where did Gu Xian go?
