This time Xia Jin was sure that he had not heard wrong, but he wondered who would come so late at night. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He went to the kitchen, picked up a knife, and then walked to the front door to open it.
"Who is it?"
"Ajin, open the door, I'm back." Gu Jingmo's voice came from outside the door. When Xia Jin heard it was Gu Jingmo's voice, he put down the knife in his hand and opened the door obediently.
As soon as Xia Jin opened the door, she was hugged by Gu Jingmo. Gu Jingmo hugged Xia Jin and asked, "Surprise? I'm here to accompany you."
"Why are you back?"
"My parents are accompanied by my brother, sister-in-law and a large group of people, but my baby is all alone, so I came here."
"Baby, have you finished your meal?"
"It's done. Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll heat up the food for you."
Gu Jingmo put his arm around Xia Jin and said, "I've eaten. I came here after dinner with my parents. Let's go in."
The two returned to the house. Gu Jingmo looked at the dishes on Xia Jin's table and said, "You ate so little. Are you full? Are you going to make dumplings?"
Xia Jin said guiltily, "I'm just alone, why bother with that? I can't eat many dumplings even if I make them."
Gu Jingmo raised his hand and said, "My mom and the others made this and asked me to bring it to you. Go wash your hands and we'll make some ourselves."
Xia Jin obediently washed her hands. After washing her hands, she kneaded the dough while Gu Jingmo prepared the filling. The two chatted while they worked. Xia Jin only knew how to roll out the dough but not how to wrap it, so the job of making dumplings was naturally left to Gu Jingmo.
Xia Jin also washed a few coins and put them inside for good luck.
As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside. Gu Jingmo walked outside to the side room and took out the firecrackers he had bought earlier. Xia Jin looked at the things in Gu Jingmo's hand and asked, "When did you buy these? How come I didn't know about them?"
"I bought it yesterday. You didn't see it. You were still picking out candies at that time."
Gu Jingmo took the firecrackers, hung them outside and lit them. As the crackling sound rang out, the flames illuminated the faces of Gu Jingmo and Xia Jin. Xia Jin looked at Gu Jingmo with a smile on her face. Gu Jingmo lowered his head and placed a kiss on Xia Jin's cheek. The kiss was sincere and passionate.
Gu Jingmo took Xia Jin's hand and said, "Happy New Year, baby. I hope you will be happy and healthy in the new year, and I will be with you in every new year after that."
Xia Jin said happily: "Ajing, Happy New Year. The happiest thing for me last year was meeting you. I hope you can be safe and healthy in the new year, and the future will be better and better."
Back in the house, the two of them cooked and ate dumplings. Xia Jin ate each one very carefully, fearing that the coin inside would get stuck in her teeth. However, Xia Jin was lucky enough to eat two.
Gu Jingmo looked at the two coins Xia Jin took out from the meal and said, "Ajin is full of fortune and blessings." After eating, the two went back to the room to rest.
Gu Jingmo woke up very early the next morning, carefully opened Xia Jin's door, took out a red envelope from his clothes and put it next to her pillow, thinking silently in his heart, I hope my baby can be happy in the new year, and his wishes will come true and he will be safe and sound.
Seeing that Xia Jin was not woken up by him, he carefully closed the door and went out.
In the morning, Xia Jin opened her eyes and looked to the side. There was a red envelope next to the pillow. Xia Jin opened it and saw 666 inside. Xia Jin put on her clothes, opened the door, ran out happily, and gave Gu Jingmo who was making breakfast a big hug.
Xia Jin lay in Gu Jingmo's arms and said, "Thank you." Thank you for the red envelope you gave me, thank you for your favoritism. When Xia Jin was young, every Chinese New Year, she would see her younger brother and Xia Qingqing receive red envelopes from Old Lady Xia and others.
Xia Jin was always envious. Although she knew that she might not have one, she went to sleep with anticipation every New Year. However, no miracle happened every time she woke up, and her pillow was always empty.
Gu Jingmo kissed Xia Jin's forehead and said, "Are you happy? As long as you are happy, go wash your hands and eat. After dinner, we will go home."
After dinner, Gu Jingmo drove home to pay New Year's greetings. When Gu Jingmo and his friends arrived, the Gu family was very lively. Xia Jin could hear the laughter inside while standing outside the door.
Gu Jingmo opened the door and left. When the people in the room saw that Gu Jingmo was back, they instantly fell silent. Gu Jingmo looked at the people who came and greeted them one by one.
When Gu's mother saw Xia Jin coming, she stood up, pulled Xia Jin to her side and began to introduce them. Xia Jin followed Gu Jingmo to greet each visitor one by one. As soon as Gu Jingmo arrived, he instantly became the center of conversation.
Besides the younger ones, Gu Jingmo is the only single member of the Gu family. Any family that wants to establish a relationship with the Gu family has to give it a try.
As soon as Xia Jin entered the room, he felt a malicious gaze staring at him. Xia Jin looked around quietly but couldn't find the source of the gaze.
After Xia Jin was pulled to Gu's mother's side, the gaze became stronger. Xia Jin looked in the direction of its source and saw only a pretty little girl. Perhaps she didn't expect Xia Jin to look at her, and she didn't have time to look away.
Xia Jin saw full of malice in the eyes of this little girl, mixed with disdain and jealousy. Xia Jin was a little confused. He had never offended her, so why did she have such great malice towards him?
Xia Jin pulled Gu Jingmo to tell him her discovery, but when she pulled Gu Jingmo's sleeve, Xia Jin felt that the gaze became stronger.
Xia Jin deliberately moved closer to Gu Jingmo, then looked up in the direction of the little girl. Sure enough, the little girl's eyes became even more unfriendly, but when Xia Jin looked over, she quickly put on a smiling face and looked at Xia Jin with a smile.
Looking at the little girl, Xia Jin kicked Gu Jingmo hard. It was all his fault, so why should he bear it alone?
It’s not enough for Xia Jin to have a daughter of the Liang family, now there’s another one named Zhu Xinxin, this is unparalleled.
Xia Jin leaned against Gu Jingmo and smiled provocatively at the little girl. The little girl was quite patient and still had a smiling face even in such a situation. However, Xia Jin looked at her hands which were pinched red by him, and he might have started cursing in his heart.
Xia Jin thought to herself that she was still keeping her composure. She thought there would be a commotion. How boring.
But the disguise is not that good. It may also be that he sees that he has no power, so his emotions are exposed and he disdains to pretend in front of himself.
In fact, Zhu Xinxin is quite good at disguising herself. She relies on her disguise to stay by Liang Shu's side and uses Liang Shu's hands to eliminate one love rival after another.
Xia Jin was treated this way only because her family background was not good. Although Gu Jingmo liked her, people in the circle still did not take her seriously because they felt that the final daughter-in-law of the Gu family would definitely not come from a powerless family like Xia Jin.
