Chapter 101 The Year Ends

Lin Jinyan took the red envelope from Qin Wu and put it in her own hand and declined, "Mom, I'm already that old and I can make money myself. We can't accept this red envelope."

Zhang Xiufang didn't take it. "I know you have money. This is a gift from the elders to the younger ones. It's not much. Please accept it. Ah Hao also has some. If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to give it to Ah Hao."

Since she said so, Lin Jianyan had no choice but to accept it. Seeing Qin Wu's eager look, she reluctantly handed the red envelope back to him.

"Take it."

Lin Jianyan turned around and said goodbye to them, "Then Brother Wu and I will leave first, you don't have to see us off. Ah Hao, remember what I told you."

When Lin Jiahao heard his brother calling his name, he stood up straight with a start, "Yes! Brother! I know!"

Zhang Xiufang knew, but the two men beside her were also confused and had no idea what was going on. No one explained it to them.

After Lin Jianyan left, Wang Zhide wanted to ask, but Zhang Xiufang evaded the question, "I don't know either. It's just a little secret between the two brothers. Why would I ask about it? You should stop asking."

After being scolded, Wang Zhide stopped asking questions. He guessed that it was not a big deal, otherwise Lin Jianyan would not have only told Lin Jiahao. Zhang Xiufang also did not ask questions and did not seem curious at all.

He never expected that Zhang Xiufang already knew about it yesterday and had prepared herself mentally before falling asleep. Now she didn't want to bring up the topic for the time being.

Things will work out when the time comes. We'll talk about it when that day comes. Now since Ah Hao didn't say anything, just pretend it never happened.

and……

Zhang Xiufang lowered her head and pouted behind their backs. Ah Yan was right. It was useless even if she agreed. The other party might not agree. The boy hadn't even caught up with the person yet. It was too early to say whether she agreed or not. She should wait until she caught the person.

Lin Jianyan didn't know what was going on here. After the two of them got in the car, Qin Wu took the red envelope and looked at it again and again as if it were a treasure.

Lin Jianyan thought it was funny. "What's so special about a red envelope? Don't your grandparents give you red envelopes during the Chinese New Year?"

Qin Wu looked at it for a long time but didn't open it to see the amount inside. Then he carefully packed the red envelope and said, "Give it out. I give you a card every time, but the meaning of what our mother gives you must be different."

To be honest, Lin Jianyan was a little jealous. How could someone casually say something like “give out a card every time”?

"Hurry up and drive home to get some sleep. We have to go to Grandpa's house when we get up."

"Yes, sir!"

When they drove back home, the security guard at the gate opened the door quickly when they saw them coming back. The villa was rather deserted these past two days because it was Chinese New Year and most of the servants in the villa had gone back home to celebrate the New Year, leaving only a few people waiting, but there were still a lot of security guards.

Qin Wu usually has a lot of enemies, and he is afraid of any accidents, so he can have fewer servants, but security and bodyguards are indispensable.

The two of them didn't bother to do anything. They changed into their pajamas and went to bed. When they woke up, it was almost noon. They asked the servant to prepare some food, packed up and went to the Qin family's old house.

When the two arrived, the room was bustling with activity. Everyone was there. Since Lin Jianyan had gotten to know everyone from last New Year's Day, they didn't feel unfamiliar. There was only one person he had never seen before.

Blond hair, blue eyes, tall stature, and a pure foreign white appearance.

When Aunt Qin saw them coming, she pulled the blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner and said with a smile, "Ayan and Xiaohu are here. Ayan hasn't met this guy yet, right? He's my husband, John Michael Smith."

"His name is long and hard to pronounce, so just call him uncle."

Lin Jianyan smiled and greeted, "Uncle-in-law."

John smiled warmly, like a large golden retriever. "Hello, hello, you are Ah Yan. Ah Ting praised you for a long time on the phone. Today we finally met. You are really beautiful! Like a doll!"

Lin Jianyan twitched his lips, not knowing how to react. Qin Xiaogu was a little embarrassed and nudged him with her elbow, "Ayan, don't pay attention to him. He doesn't talk much, but he's still a very nice person."

Uncle Qin came over, pushed his glasses, and suddenly said, "Yeah, you can finally speak clearly now. You're not like before when you called everyone "big brother" anymore."

Qin Xiaogu stamped her feet in anger, "Fourth brother! It's been so many years, and you're still talking about it!"

John was cheerful and didn't look angry at all. Seeing him like this, Qin Xiaogu was very disappointed. "He said something about you, and you didn't even say anything back?"

John felt somewhat innocent, "I have nothing to refute, Fourth Brother is telling the truth."

Uncle Qin spread his hands proudly, "Look, he doesn't mind." Seeing that Aunt Qin was indeed a little angry, he surrendered, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Don't be angry on New Year's Day."

Seeing that they were arguing again, Qin Wu had no choice but to pull Lin Jianyan around them and walk to the sofa. Today everyone was there, including Old Man Qin, his uncle's son and daughter-in-law, his grandchildren, and Qin Wenwen from his fourth uncle's family and his aunt's family. Including the two of them, there were more than 20 people in the room. It was really lively.

Everyone said Happy New Year to each other! Several elders gave them red envelopes, and the two did not refuse, after all, they would have to give red envelopes to the younger ones later.

Qin Wu took out the red envelopes he had prepared and distributed them to the youngsters. "I'm putting mine and Ah Yan's together, so I won't give them out separately."

Qin Wenwen and the fourth uncle's youngest son Qin Zhao received the red envelopes and shouted happily: "Thank you, Brother Xiaohu, thank you, Brother Ayan!"

But before they could be too happy, Fourth Aunt and Qin Xiaogu threatened and coaxed them to leave.

"You two are still young, you don't need so much money. I will give it to you when you grow up."

"What if you have so much money and someone cheats you out of it? Mom will keep it for you and give it to you when you need some pocket money."

Qin Wenwen: “…”

Qin Zhao: “…”

Really? I don't believe it.

Everyone saw their reluctant expressions and burst into laughter.

The reunion dinner was hot and noisy. The group of people played until almost night and left one after another. After all, for people like them, in addition to reunion, they also had many social activities to attend during the Chinese New Year.

…

The New Year is over, everyone has started to go back to work, the factory has started to operate, and the staff dormitory will soon be completed.

Liu Huawei is looking after the staff dormitory, so Lin Jianyan doesn't have to worry about it. His new worry now is where to find a large storefront.

After visiting several stores, he was not very satisfied with any of them. He thought they were too small. The specifications were secondary. He could always redecorate them if he was still not satisfied.

The agent was also very tired. "Mr. Lin, if the central street is too small for you, you can only look for places a little further away."
