Jiang Xia looked at the specialty dish in Jiang Weijia's hand. It was a dish that Su Yuelan liked to eat, but the preparation method was very complicated and few people made it. Jiang Weijia deliberately placed the dish where Su Yuelan could reach it. Without saying a word, he sat at the table, his eyes fell on Su Yuelan, looking at the chopsticks in Su Yuelan's hand.
After all the dishes were served, everyone took their seats.
The sound of fireworks was heard outside. Someone was setting off fireworks. Su Zhongshu stood up first and gave red envelopes to the younger generation as an elder. Then Shen Panrong and Su Yuelan gave red envelopes. After this round, Jiang Xia had several red envelopes in his hands.
Then Jiang Weijia also stuffed a bulging red envelope into Jiang Xia's pocket. Jiang Weijia looked at Jiang Xia with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Our Xia Xia should receive the most and thickest red envelopes, every one of them. Happy New Year, Xia Xia." Jiang Weijia said.
Jiang Wei's actions and words obviously reminded him of what Su Yuelan had mentioned to him before about what Old Lady Jiang had done, such as giving huge red envelopes to Jiang Hongjiao and Jiang Jinbao every time there was a New Year's Eve, but being extremely harsh to his daughter. It would have been fine if she had not given any, but she deliberately gave her only one cent, which was a humiliation.
At that time, he didn't think it was a big deal, he just thought it was unnecessary. His family was well off enough to have some New Year's money, so there was no need to argue over that kind of thing.
But these days, the more he thought about it, the more he understood why Su Yuelan repeatedly mentioned those old accounts to him at that time.
What she was fighting for was not the few dollars of New Year's money, but her dignity, that their family would not be bullied, and that their daughter would not suffer that kind of injustice.
It’s a pity that he didn’t understand it at that time, and it’s too late now that he understands it.
When Su Yuelan heard what Jiang Weijia said, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Jiang Weijia and Jiang Xia.
"Dad, you too, Happy New Year." Jiang Xia accepted all the red envelopes.
After that, everyone saw that it was about time and started to eat. The weather was cold now, and it would be warm and cozy for the whole family to sit together, not cold at all. There was also a hot pot on the table to eat hot food.
By the way, every household had greasy food on the table, with more meat dishes and fewer vegetables. The dishes were all beautiful and bright. Logically, Jiang Xia liked them, but for some reason, when she moved her chopsticks, let alone tasted them, the smell of the meat dishes got under her nose.
Her face turned pale, and she had no appetite at all. Her stomach was churning and she felt nauseous.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanting noticed Jiang Xia's face at the first time. He frowned when he saw Jiang Xia's pale face and touched Jiang Xia's forehead, which was not hot.
"Maybe I caught a cold because of the cold. I feel a little nauseous and my stomach is uncomfortable." Jiang Xia shook her head and realized that her movement just now caused everyone at the table to look at her. She touched her stomach, which still felt uncomfortable and nauseous, and her face looked a little unhappy.
Maybe she was really becoming more and more pampered by Lu Yuanting. She wasn't like this before and couldn't stand even a little cold wind. But now, she caught a cold and had stomach discomfort after a little wind.
Lu Yuanting's brows were still furrowed as he looked at Jiang Xia's face, which had turned pale due to the nausea just now. Her eyes were tearful and there were tear stains on her eyelashes. The color of her lips had become much lighter, which was heartbreaking to see.
Seeing Jiang Xia like this, Su Yuelan felt that he looked familiar, and suddenly an idea came to her mind and she spoke.
"Is it?"
