Chapter 51 New Year's Eve
The car stopped at the gate of Jiahe Community.
Lu Chang also got out of the car with Jiang Jibai.
He glanced at the neighborhood's surroundings and frowned, "Let me take you upstairs. The streetlights ahead are broken."
"It's okay." Jiang Jibai took out a flashlight from his bag and waved it in front of him. "I have this."
"This community looks very unsafe. Let me help you find a place with a better environment." Lu Chang said worriedly.
"No need." Jiang Jibai shook his head, not wanting to trouble him. "I'm used to living here. I've lived here for a few years. There's no problem at all."
Lu Chang looked at the girl in plump clothes who was shaking her head in front of him and smiled helplessly.
He took a few steps toward her.
The man's face enlarged in front of her. Jiang Jibai was confused but seemed to know what he was going to say.
Lu Chang put his hands in the pockets of his dark grey coat and asked, "Are you going to be alone tomorrow on New Year's Eve?"
Is he inviting me to celebrate New Year's Eve with him?
Lu Chang is a typical handsome guy with a light complexion. He may not look stunning at first glance, but he is the type that becomes more comfortable the more you look at him.
At this moment, his eyes were full of anticipation.
"No." Jiang Jibai said truthfully, "I made an appointment with Lin Shanshan and the others to celebrate New Year's Eve together."
Lu Chang hummed, feeling a little disappointed.
After a while, he said again: "Do you mind if I join you?"
Jiang Jibai was surprised. Although Lin Shanshan and the others knew Lu Chang, their relationship was just average.
I wonder if they will have any objections to the sudden appearance of a man.
It doesn't seem like a good idea to refuse directly.
"Then I'll ask Winky and the others. If they have no objection, will you come with us?"
Lu Chang understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for your notice and go back to rest early."

That night, Jiang Jibai spread the news that Lu Chang wanted to spend New Year's Eve with them.
The group of the Four Beauties of Beijing and Huaihai were immediately furious.

On New Year's Eve, Liu Yanan did not come because of an emergency at home.
It just so happened that Lu Chang’s friend also had something to do and didn’t come.
The two of them just happened to meet by chance.
The only ones left were Lu Chang, Jiang Jibai, Lin Shanshan and her older male brother.
The older brother is named Wen Yize, a clean and somewhat shy boy.
He is very tall and has very fair skin.
Lin Shanshan has always been a good eater.
It is said that Lin Shanshan has not yet completely confirmed her romantic relationship with him, and the two are just in the ambiguous stage.
The first time he went out with Lin Shanshan to meet friends, he was a little shy and didn’t talk much.
This makes Lu Chang, who is almost thirty years old, look particularly mature.
Lu Chang prepared a New Year's gift for everyone, and even helped Liu Yanan who didn't come.
"Thanks."
Lin Shanshan received the gift and raised her eyebrows curiously, asking, "Are ours the same as Jibao's?"
Lu Chang knew that their best friends would have to inform them when they returned anyway, so it made no difference if he told them now.
Lu Chang smiled and said, "It's different."
"Oh~" Lin Shanshan made a face and cheered.
Jiang Jibai: "..."
Today is New Year's Eve and the shopping mall is crowded. When Jiang Jibai said he wanted to drink milk tea, Lu Chang went to buy it for them.
Wen Yize ran to the bathroom.
After they left, Lin Shanshan held onto Jiang Jibai and said, "Not bad! This senior is mature and steady, and knows how to take care of people. The most important thing is that he's still devoted to you after all these years. It's worth a try."
Jiang Jibai smiled but said nothing.
"Baby, tell me the truth, do you have feelings for him? You must have seen that he wanted to spend New Year's Eve with us. Isn't it just to meet your best friends and improve your impression points with us?"
"To be honest, I have a good impression of him," said Lin Shanshan.
Jiang Jibai remained silent, looking at the noisy crowd around him.
"Baby," Lin Shanshan continued to persuade her, "You can try to accept someone new and start a new relationship. Look, your work has changed direction, isn't it going very well now? Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you take this step, everything will be fine."
In fact, Jiang Jibai was already trying to accept Lu Chang by agreeing to let him spend the New Year's Eve with them.
Lu Chang is very good, solid, steady and mature.
She was trying to convince herself to accept him and slowly move on from the past.
But this process may be lengthy.
"I understand, Winky."
"What's up with that older male brother?" Jiang Jibai glanced towards the bathroom. "Are you really looking for someone this young?"
Lin Shanshan flicked her forehead and said, "Who said we have to talk? We're just still in the stage of getting to know each other. You don't know how sweet my brother is and how much he can provide emotional value."
Jiang Jibai curled his lips, "I can't tell."
Lin Shanshan shook her head in confusion, "You don't understand my brother's happiness."
Jiang Jibai and his friends found a restaurant in advance, which was a very popular white beauty restaurant.
Unfortunately, there are too many people today, and even if you make a reservation in advance, you still have to wait for a table.
Lin Shanshan was impatient and couldn't bear it any longer, so Jiang Jibai advised her, "Why don't you go to another place? We don't know how long we'll have to wait, and we might miss the fireworks show in the city center tonight."
Lu Chang said calmly: "Leave it to me, you guys sit down and rest for a while."
Jiang Jibai saw him find a relatively quiet place with few people and made a phone call.
By the time Lu Chang arrived, a waiter had already led them into the restaurant.
We sat in a private room with an elegant environment.
Lin Shanshan's face was filled with confusion: "What's going on?"
Lu Chang smiled and said, "The owner of this restaurant has worked with our company before, so we have some friendship."
Lin Shanshan suddenly thought of something and asked, "What does your company do?"
"We work in both the catering and service industries."
Working in the catering industry and having the surname Lu, this only made her think of one name in Jinghuai. Lin Shanshan was incredulous, "So you are the president of the Lu Group?"
"Yes." Lu Chang nodded implicitly, "I just returned to Jinghuai to take over the company from my father."
