Chapter 293 New Year's Visit
Maybe because the temperature is going to rise, the weather has been sunny in recent days, and the temperature has risen from minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Many people are happy that the extreme cold is about to end, but many senior officials in the base are nervous. Once the extreme cold is over, humans will face another challenge.
"Yaoyao, today is New Year's Eve. Do you want to come to our house for dinner?" Xue Mingxuan came over to invite him personally, and Huo Yucheng was actually there.
No one who saw this scene dared to underestimate Li Yao, as they had a very good relationship with the Huo family at the base.
Xue Minghui watched her own sister and brother-in-law pass by their house without stopping and went straight to Li Yao's house next door.
She was extremely angry. Ever since Huo Yan took the person away in front of them last time, many people who had been eager to make friends with their family had become much more distant.
Yesterday they heard that Huo Yucheng had returned and wanted to visit him but were refused. After a while they decided to go again, and ended up seeing Xue Mingxuan and Huo Yucheng going next door.
Ruan Rongxi looked at Xue Minghui hesitantly: "You say, sister and brother-in-law think so highly of the girl next door, are they sure that Li Yao will be their daughter-in-law?"
Xue Minghui shook her head without thinking: "No, I know Huo Yan. No one can influence what he wants to do. For so many years, he has only liked the girl named Bai Shuya. I haven't heard that he treats others specially."
"Then how do you explain your sister and brother-in-law's special treatment of Li Yao?" Ruan Rongxi asked.
Xue Minghui was speechless for a moment, and could only frown and say: "I'll ask Xue Mingxuan when I have time."
Their relationship is a bit strained now, and Xue Mingxuan may not tell her what she wants to ask.
Ruan Rongxi thought for a while and said: "You go and prepare some exquisite gifts, and we will also go to wish our neighbors a happy new year." Since Xue Minghui and Huo Yucheng refused to see them, they created an opportunity to meet.
Ruan Qiyu heard the footsteps coming down the stairs and suddenly met Ruan Rongxi's gaze.
Ruan Rongxi asked him to sit next to him and looked at Ruan Qiyu sarcastically: "You really forgot everything I taught you. You can't handle a woman for such a long time."
Ruan Qiyu thought for a moment and whispered, "Li Yao is a very special woman, different from other people."
"That's also a woman." Ruan Rongxi sneered, not taking Li Yao seriously at all. "You can't get her because you are not strong enough and your wrist is not strong enough."
Ruan Qiyu opened his mouth. He felt that his father was not strong enough now.
Ruan Rongxi sneered: "Our family is just in a temporary predicament now. Don't worry, when my plan succeeds, our family will be the owner of this base..." He said this in a low voice.
After Xue Minghui prepared everything, Ruan Qiyu consciously followed his parents.
Li Yao and the other two from next door brought Xue Mingxuan in. As soon as Huo Yucheng entered the living room, he felt warmth. Then his eyes fell on the pots of green plants in the corner. After the extreme cold came, they rarely saw such vibrant colors.
"Aunt Xue, Mr. Huo, why are you here?" Although it is the end of the world, on a day like this, with the Huo family's popularity, shouldn't there be a lot of people visiting?
Xue Minghui smiled and said, "First, we invite you to come over for lunch, and second, we don't want to deal with those people."
As soon as she finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from the door, and Zhu Qin walked in. Housekeeper Shen consciously put down her things. She greeted Xue Mingxuan and her husband first, then smiled and said to Li Yao: "You look much better. If you don't mind, come over and hide away."
These three are not easy to offend. Li Yao smiled and said, "Of course."
Shen Yan smiled sweetly: "Happy New Year, Sister Yaoyao."
"Happy New Year." Li Yao said with a smile.
Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue continued to be busy, especially Yan Yuansi, who couldn't help but hide when he saw Chen Yan.
Xue Mingxuan and Zhu Qin wanted to help, but were rejected by Li Yao. She brought them tea and took out some nuts, letting them entertain themselves.
However, after seeing Li Yao, Huo Yucheng always looked at Li Yao with a scrutinizing gaze.
Li Yao handed over the tea, and suddenly Huo Yucheng rushed towards Li Yao with a fist. Li Yao dodged it, then held Huo Yucheng's hand with his left hand, making him unable to move.
Huo Yucheng looked at his wrist being clamped and was shocked. He had been training for so many years, and even though Huo Yan was young and upright, he would suffer at his hands. But in front of the little girl Li Yao, he didn't even have a chance to resist.
"Mr. Huo, have some tea." Li Yao stuffed the tea into Huo Yucheng's hand.
Xue Mingxuan's face turned black, and she slapped Huo Yucheng on the back. Even through the clothes, the slapping sound could make one feel that Xue Mingxuan was using a lot of strength.
"What are you doing? Your son can't take your punch. Yaoyao is a little girl. What will happen if she gets hurt by your punch?"
Huo Yucheng felt that he was a little wronged, as he was clearly the one being suppressed.
He looked at Li Yao honestly: "Girl, don't bother with a rough guy like me. I have been curious about your skills since yesterday. I heard from them that you subdued him before they could react yesterday. Now it seems that you are stronger than your uncle thought."
Li Yao smiled politely. She didn't think Huo Yucheng was as rough as he said.
"Is anyone there?" A voice came from outside. Xue Mingxuan's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes turned cold. It seemed that Xue Minghui did not take her warning seriously.
Li Yao found it very interesting, and they came one after another today.
Yan Yuansi was pasting window flowers upstairs. When he saw the three people from next door coming, especially Ruan Qiyu, he did nothing but pulled Ning Xinyue downstairs. The two of them looked at Ruan Qiyu who came in, and they all protected Li Yao to their side.
Xue Minghui looked at Xue Minghui in astonishment: "Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here?"
Xue Mingxuan just hummed lightly: "Come and see Yaoyao, what are you doing."
Ruan Rongxi smiled and said, "We just moved here and packed up recently. Since it's Chinese New Year, we should give some gifts to our neighbors and try to build good relationships with them."
Xue Mingxuan sneered: "Relationship between neighbors?"
Everyone present thought of how noisy they were when they first moved in.
Ruan Qiyu's eyes were glued to Li Yao, and Ruan Rongxi, who inadvertently glanced at Li Yao, was distracted for a moment.
He seemed to understand his son's obsession with this woman. Her hair was tied loosely, the living room was warm, and she was wearing a beige sweater. Her face, in particular, was so beautiful. Her eyes only glanced at you lightly, and you couldn't wait to give him the best things.
Li Yao's eyes flashed coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, I won't accept anything without merit. I appreciate your kindness, but I won't accept the gift."
She had no good feelings towards this family of three.
