Chapter 218 Soft, Happy New Year
On New Year's Eve, Jiang Xu and He Yanting went to the He family's old house as usual.
Mr. and Mrs. He came back a few days early and brought back amulets that they had prayed for their family of three.
Xia Yulin went with them.
The car stopped in front of the old house, and Tuanbao was the first to jump out.
Xia Yulin hurriedly said from behind: "Baby, slow down, come, grandma will hold your hand."
Tuanbao deliberately avoided it.
After Jiang Xu and He Yanting got out of the car, he ran between them.
He Yanting wanted to hold Jiang Xu's hand, but when he saw him squeeze over, he frowned and said, "Go let your grandma hold it."
"don't want."
He pouted, holding Jiang Xu in one hand and He Yanting in the other.
Seeing this, Xia Yulin laughed unhappily: "This brat, he always says he loves grandma the most and coaxes me with sweet words, but now that he has parents, he has forgotten about me, his grandma."
The family of three walked into the house. He Yanting and Jiang Xu raised their arms at the same time, and Tuanbao started swinging happily.
Just then, Old Mrs. He came out and saw this scene.
"Ouch, Tuanbao!"
She only heard that Tuanbao had gotten much better, but she didn't expect him to get so much better. Now he is a lively, cheerful and handsome child.
"Great-grandmother, great-grandfather!"
Tuanbao shouted loudly.
Tuanbao's arrival instantly made the old house much more lively. The two old people wanted to give him all the good things, and the whole house was filled with laughter.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, He Yanting and Jiang Xu took Tuanbao to the yard to set off fireworks.
Tuanbao was as happy as a little monkey, jumping up and down in the yard with a firework stick, calling dad and mom from time to time.
Every time he called out "Mom", Jiang Xu responded with a smile and told him to be careful.
He Yanting and Jiang Xu stood side by side. Looking at her eyes illuminated by the fireworks, he couldn't help but hug her in his arms and kissed the top of her head.
Jiang Xu looked up at him. After a period of rest, his complexion had improved a lot.
The two looked at each other, without any extra words, just smiled.
Everything seems to be implied.
They returned to the house. The Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV. Mr. and Mrs. He were watching it but didn't see Xia Yulin.
Jiang Xu took Tuanbao to wash his hands. When he came back, he heard Xia Yulin talking on the phone in the side hall.
Jiang Xu asked Tuanbao to go back to the living room first, and she quietly pushed open the door to the side hall.
“Jiang Minghuai, I tell you, it’s useless for you to threaten me anymore. All your assets are soft, and your illegitimate son will not get a penny!”
Xia Yulin's tone was very decisive, like a ferocious mother leopard protecting her cubs.
I don't know what was said on the phone, but Xia Yulin sneered.
"You can have someone hit me with a car again. Do you think I'm afraid? Even if it costs me my life, I won't let you, a scumbag, succeed!"
Jiang Xu walked over and said, "Mom."
Xia Yulin quickly turned off her phone, her expression softening. "Are the fireworks finished?"
"Um."
Jiang Xu nodded and asked, "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Xia Yulin's face: "No one, just an insignificant person."
As she spoke, she took Jiang Xu's arm and said, "Let's go watch the Spring Festival Gala."
"Mom, are you going to lie to me again?"
Jiang Xu grabbed her and said, "I heard everything just now. It was Jiang Minghuai who called. He wanted to give the money to his newborn son, right?"
Xia Yulin's expression was a little grim. "Yes, but don't worry, Mom will protect your property."
"Mom, there's something you haven't told me."
Jiang Xu was a little angry. "You just said that he hit you with a car. Did he cause your fracture last time?"
Xia Yulin was silent.
Jiang Xu found it unbelievable. She never thought that Jiang Minghuai would treat Xia Yulin like this in order to fight for the property for his illegitimate son.
"Ruanruan, let's talk about this another day. Tonight is New Year's Eve, and everyone should be happy. Don't spoil the fun."
Xia Yulin gently patted the back of Jiang Xu's hand.
Jiang Xu didn't say anything, just nodded.
Returning to the living room, she sat down next to He Yanting.
He Yanting glanced at her sideways and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Xu adjusted her breathing, tried to be more normal, and shook her head: "No."
He Yanting didn't ask any more questions.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Tuanbao fell asleep in Jiang Xu's arms.
He Yanting carried him back to the room to rest.
Mr. He and Mrs. He also went back to their rooms to sleep, and Xia Yulin planned to go back to the bedroom to continue watching the party.
When He Yanting went downstairs, he didn't see Jiang Xu. He looked around and found her at the backyard door.
He went back and got a blanket and put it on her.
"Thank you, I'll be back soon. It's cold outside, you go inside first." Jiang Xu said.
He Yanting looked at her and said, "Ruanruan, we have already obtained the marriage certificate and are now a real couple."
Jiang Xu was slightly stunned, not understanding why he suddenly said this.
He Yanting sighed softly: "Husband and wife must communicate more and hide less. If you are not happy, I will not be happy either."
"so--"
He grabbed her hand, held it in his palm, and squeezed it gently: "What did your mother say to you that made you distracted all night? Can you talk to your husband about it?"
Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment: "Okay."
Afterwards, she told He Yanting about Jiang Minghuai's threat to Xia Yulin.
After listening to this, He Yanting's expression was very calm, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly in a gentle arc, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
For some reason, when He Yanting said this, Jiang Xu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, suddenly felt relieved.
Since he promised her, he will definitely do it.
Seeing that she still looked anxious, He Yanting rubbed the top of her head and said, "Be good, go take a hot bath, then go to sleep and forget about this."
Jiang Xu still didn't move.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her waist and her body suddenly became lighter, and she was picked up horizontally by He Yanting.
"No, you haven't recovered yet."
Jiang Xu struggled quickly.
He Yanting smiled with his eyebrows curved, "Even if I haven't recovered, it would be easy for me to hug you."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the sky behind me, followed by a bright light in front of my eyes.
Jiang Xu put one hand around He Yanting's neck and pointed at the sky with the other: "Look, it's the midnight fireworks!"
He Yanting turned around, looked at the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, and kissed Jiang Xu.
"Happy New Year, Ruanruan."
Jiang Xu pursed her lips and smiled softly, then kissed him on the cheek, "Well, Happy New Year."
He Yanting narrowed his black eyes slightly, his breathing became disordered for a moment, and then he walked quickly into the house.
Jiang Xu grabbed his shoulders and asked, "Why are you walking so fast?"
He Yanting chuckled: "I want to take a bath with you."
Jiang Xu blushed and patted him, "Don't mess around, Tuanbao is sleeping."
He Yanting bit her ear and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't mess around, just let me kiss you."
