For a moment, Yan Yirou's mind was racing.
However, this is the Yan family. Even if Ji Xianli wanted to take revenge on her, he wouldn't dare to do anything in her house, right?
But she didn't forget that he was a madman, so she remained cautious.
When Ji Xianli saw Yan Yirou, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. This woman had looked down on him from the very beginning. Gu Yunzhen didn't want her, so she actually went to Gu Yunzhen's brother. Did she have no shame? She was shameless!
But Ji Xianli couldn't afford to turn against her yet. He looked at her tenderly and said, "Rou Rou, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Yan Yirou already felt some aversion to him when she first saw him, and now she felt even more aversion to his words.
Before she could speak, a female voice suddenly came from behind her: "Big sister, you are so lucky! Brother Xianli came to find you on the first day of the lunar new year."
Today is really not a good day to go out. Yan Yirou's eyes flashed with speechlessness. She turned to look at her cousin Yan Yixuan and smiled, "This good fortune is for you, do you want it?"
One sentence left Yan Yixuan and Ji Xianli stunned.
Yan Yirou added, "Just kidding."
Yan Yixuan's guilty eyes flickered, and as she passed by Yan Yirou, she secretly glanced at Ji Xianli.
Ji Xianli, unaware that Yan Yirou already harbored strong resentment towards him, continued, "Rou Rou, your dark circles are quite pronounced. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Was he doing it on purpose?
Yan Yirou clearly covered her dark circles with makeup!
He insisted on bringing it up, even mentioning last night, clearly indicating that he knew she had gone to the Gu family's house last night.
"Last night..." Since he was so curious, Yan Yirou granted his wish: "I had a wonderful dream. I felt like I had a great workout in my dream, and I still remember it vividly when I woke up this morning, so I have dark circles under my eyes. Is that strange?"
A thoroughly enjoyable workout?
She actually... How could she be so shameless!
Ji Xianli couldn't help but frown: "You're that happy?"
He was the eldest son of the Ji family and was always pampered in Xizhou City. Now, being despised and humiliated by a young lady from a declining family, Ji Xianli's anger grew stronger the more he thought about it!
Yan Yirou rolled her eyes: "I already said it was a beautiful dream, of course I'm happy!"
Ji Xianli's expression turned even uglier.
Just then, Yan Yixuan came over with a cup of tea and said to Ji Xianli with a smile, "Brother Xianli, try our sesame and bean tea, it's so fragrant and delicious!"
One person spoke harshly to him, while the other treated him with kindness and politeness. It's true that without comparison, there would be no hurt.
Ji Xianli's expression softened, and he took the bean tea from Yan Yixuan's hand: "Thank you."
Yan Yixuan said obediently, "No need to thank me. After Xianli marries my older sister, he will be my brother-in-law. We will be family."
A family?
A glint of light flashed in Ji Xianli's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "That's right, we will be family."
He was looking at Yan Yirou when he said this.
She was so eager to get rid of him, but he just wouldn't let her have her way. He wanted to marry her, keep her locked up, and torment her for the rest of his life!
This is the price she paid for humiliating him!
Ji Xianli made a vow in his heart.
Yan Yirou felt disgusted by Ji Xianli's gaze. Ignoring the two of them, she walked towards Old Madam Yan's room.
Yan Yixuan and Ji Xianli remained standing in place.
Yan Yixuan was taken aback for two seconds, then realized that Yan Yirou was more prone to jealousy and anger than she had imagined. She was even happier and looked at Ji Xianli apologetically, saying, "Brother Xianli, don't be angry. My older sister isn't usually like this."
Ji Xianli asked casually, "Really? What kind of person is she usually?"
Yan Yixuan then chatted with Ji Xianli about Yan Yirou's past.
Ji Xianli had investigated Yan Yirou, and some things did match what Yan Yixuan described about Yan Yirou, but there were also some differences.
What could happen to make a person change even their taste in food?
Yan Yirou was unaware that she was being suspected. After paying her respects to her grandmother, she stayed by her side and helped greet any relatives who came.
There are still some differences in how people celebrate the Lunar New Year in the North and South of China.
For example, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, people in the south get up early to go to cemeteries or ancestral halls to pay respects to their deceased relatives and express their longing for them. People in the north, on the other hand, go straight to the point, visiting relatives and friends to exchange New Year's greetings and wish for good luck.
The Shangguan family's ancestral home is not in the capital city. However, since the old man and woman are getting old and Qin Xiaoxian is pregnant, Shangguan Lin took his eldest and second daughters by plane back to their ancestral home before dawn to pay respects at their graves.
This round trip takes a whole day.
In families with elderly members, relatives will visit to offer New Year's greetings, while young people will go out to visit their elders.
Happy New Year!
Wishing you prosperity and good fortune!
"May you have great fortune and good luck!"
May your fortune, wealth, and luck be abundant; may your family prosper, your people thrive, and your career flourish!
"..."
New Year greetings and auspicious words are everywhere.
There were also firecrackers, festive songs suitable for the Spring Festival, and the atmosphere of the New Year was lively and festive, almost dreamlike.
Although there were no elderly people in the Gu family, many people came to wish Gu Qingyu a Happy New Year.
Most of them are younger relatives of friends or business partners.
Firstly, it's considered auspicious to visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and secondly, everyone knows that the Gu family will go out on the second day, so they all rush to pay their respects on the first day.
These younger relatives all knew the four Gu brothers and knew each other quite well. Some were married, and some were single. The married ones with children were taken care of by Gu Yilou, while the single ones were taken care of by the twins. Gu Yunzhen, on the other hand, had some free time.
However, everyone congratulated Gu Yunzhen, a double entendre.
