Chapter 55: No One I Like
Cen Nian blinked and was speechless for a long time. Who told her?
She couldn't say she overheard it secretly, so her mind raced through the matter: "I heard it from someone else."
"What do you believe in what others say?" Jin Siyang said in a cold tone: "Can't you just listen to me?"
"What?"
The air became increasingly gloomy, with some ambiguous emotions pulling at each other, and Cen Nian was unable to react for a while.
She didn't understand what Jin Siyang meant, so she could only look at his eyes blankly.
Jin Siyang looked away, too lazy to argue with her: "I don't have anyone I like."
“…”
"Did you hear that?"
Cen Nian nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice: "I heard it."
As the New Year approaches, festive lanterns are hung on both sides of the roads in the community, and some New Year decorations are hung in front of each household, creating a festive atmosphere everywhere.
Uncle Li and Aunt Liu also prepared some decorations. When Jin Siyang went downstairs, he saw Uncle Li about to step onto the ladder to hang the lantern. He took the lantern from Uncle Li's hand and said, "Uncle, let me hang it."
Uncle Li looks strong, but his age is too old to ask a young man to watch Uncle Li hang lanterns.
Jin Siyang hates the Chinese New Year the most because it means that all the joyful, reunion and happy moments have nothing to do with him.
Jin Siyang would go home for the New Year's Eve dinner as usual, but the relationship between father and son was not good, so it was rare for them to have a complete New Year's Eve dinner.
Every Chinese New Year, Uncle Li and Aunt Liu go back to their hometown, but Jin Jingming has a home outside and doesn't come back often.
He was the only one in the huge villa.
But this year's Chinese New Year seems a little different.
Thinking of this, he straightened the lantern again.
Aunt Liu approached and said angrily, "Why did you let Si Yang go up there? It's dangerous at such a high place. Si Yang, come down quickly."
Uncle Li touched his nose and accepted the scolding obediently.
Jin Siyang smiled and said, "It's okay, I've hung up."
"Your Uncle Li just loves to be lazy!" Aunt Liu patted Uncle Li's arm and changed the subject: "By the way, is Nian Nian going back to Ningcheng for the New Year?"
Uncle Li shook his head. "I really don't know. I haven't heard Nian Nian mention it to me. Go ask her. If she wants to go back, I'll send her back. That way I'll feel more at ease."
"OK."
Jin Siyang paused, and the inexplicable joy he had just felt disappeared in an instant. He paused for two seconds and then returned to normal.
Jin Siyang went upstairs and Aunt Liu followed him. He moved slowly and unhurriedly.
Aunt Liu knocked on the door, and Cen Nian quickly opened it: "Aunt Liu."
"Is Nian Nian doing homework?" Aunt Liu asked with a smile, "I just want to ask if you will stay here and celebrate the New Year with Si Yang this year?"
Jin Siyang stopped his hand on the door handle and did not take the next step.
Cen Nian smiled a little embarrassedly: "Is it okay? I don't want to go back. It's too troublesome."
In fact, she had no reason to go back. When her grandmother was alive, someone protected her. Now that her grandmother was gone, she was a superfluous person in her uncle's house.
"Of course! Your uncle Li and I will be relieved if you stay here."
"hey-hey."
Jin Siyang opened the door, and with a click, the door of his room closed gently.
Uncle Li and Aunt Liu became busy, and the task of buying New Year's goods fell on Cen Nian and Jin Siyang.
In fact, Cen Nian overheard Aunt Liu mention buying New Year's goods and volunteered. She thought Jin Siyang would say she was meddling in other people's business, but unexpectedly he happily agreed to the suggestion of going together.
During the Chinese New Year, Cen Nian likes to buy New Year’s goods at this time the most, because at this time, her grandmother will take her out and secretly give her a lot of delicious food.
Only at this time, is it a happy moment belonging to her and her grandmother.

The shopping mall was crowded with people, and the supermarkets were packed with people. Everyone's shopping cart was full, and all kinds of noises were mixed together. Cen Nian ran in front excitedly.
She suddenly turned around and saw Jin Siyang pushing a shopping cart, passing by the busiest area of the crowd: "Excuse me."
"Move aside."
He frowned slightly. It was indeed a bit funny to see such a cold and quiet person among the noisy crowd.
Jin Siyang asked in a deep voice: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, just a happy laugh." Cen Nian asked again: "Do you have to care about my laughter?"
"Who cares about you? You're laughing like a fool."
“…”
“I want to eat this.”
"purchase."
"What about this?"
"purchase."
"And this."
Jin Siyang signaled her with his eyes to put it in the shopping cart.
After walking around for a while, Cen Nian went to the bathroom and met an unexpected person when he came out.
She lowered her head to wipe her hands, only to hear a cry of surprise: "Cen Nian, are you here?"
Cen Nian's body stiffened, and he slowly looked up and saw a familiar face.
"Cousin." She called timidly.
Cen Xinyu raised the corner of her mouth and spoke as harshly as ever: "I thought some people really thought they would become phoenixes after coming to Jiang City."
Cen Nian didn't say anything. He threw the tissue in his hand into the trash can and slowly walked out of the bathroom.
Cen Xinyu followed her and said, "Why are you walking so fast? My mom and brother are here, shouldn't you say hello?"
Just as he finished speaking, Cen Ao walked out of the bathroom: "Hey, who is this?"
The two siblings circled around Cen Nian and moved her body. "This dress is a brand name. Is that person so kind to you that he lets you wear brand name clothes?"
Cen Ao continued beside him, "Cousin, you are rich now, don't forget your cousin."
Cen Ao was sharp-eyed and saw a doll hanging on Cen Nian's bag. "Sister, look at this. This doll is very popular. It can sell for thousands online."
Cen Nian held the bag and said, "Don't touch it."
This is the doll Yaoyao gave her, one for each of them, making a perfect pair.
Cen Ao didn't expect her to fight back, and was immediately enraged: "Why are you pretending? Don't forget that you eat and live in my house."
Hearing this, the thorns on Cen Nian's body fell off again.
Jin Siyang took big steps, put the shopping cart aside, and saw this scene when he came to the outside of the bathroom. Cen Nian was surrounded by a man and a woman, and she stood between them like a quail.
The distance was a bit far, and he couldn't hear them talking, but from everyone's expressions, he could see that Cen Nian was frightened, and the other two smiled deliberately, with disdain and disgust in their eyes.
Jin Siyang tightened his jawline, pursed his lips, and walked over at a steady pace. His voice was as cold as ever: "Cen Nian, let's go."
The three of them were stunned. Cen Xinyu and Cen Ao looked up, their eyes were stunned.
Cen Xinyu asked with a curious smile, "Cen Nian, who is that?"
Cen Nian didn't say anything.
Cen Ao said with some temper: "Who are you? It's none of your business what we are talking about as family."
Jin Siyang didn't pay any attention to anyone else. He just looked at Cen Nian and walked towards her again.
He pulled Cen Nian's wrist and said, "Let's go."
"Hey, can't you hear me?"
Jin Siyang said calmly: "Who do you think you are to talk to me?"
My aunt is the most protective of her children, especially Cen Ao. When she came over, she happened to hear what Jin Siyang said, and she felt angry. She looked around and suddenly understood the relationship between Jin Siyang and Cen Nian.
"You, student, are so rude. Cen Nian has lived and eaten in my house for several years. I tell you, she will never be able to repay this kindness in her lifetime."
"Cen Nian, don't forget how your uncle and aunt raised you. They provided you with everything you needed for food and clothing. If you really want to be successful in the future, the first thing you should do is not forget your roots. You should help your cousins more."
Cen Nian was about to say that he understood when Jin Siyang suddenly laughed and said, "Can I have a word with you for a moment?"
My aunt's momentum instantly weakened in front of him: "Say...whatever you want to say."
They walked two steps to another place until Jin Siyang could no longer see Cen Nian in his peripheral vision. He lost his youthful appearance, his aura suddenly turned cold, and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
Fang Ting was a little timid. This look was very familiar, exactly the same as Jin Jingming's. They really were father and son.
"If I remember correctly, my dad left you two million the day he took Cen Nian away."
Fang Ting shivered a little: "Two, what's wrong with two million? We have raised her for so many years, it should have been more than two million." Her tone was weak.
"Really?" Jin Siyang suddenly laughed. "As far as I know, before Grandma Cen Nian passed away, she was always supported by her grandmother's pension. You said you supported her, but when she came here, she didn't even have a piece of clothing of her own. How did you support her?"
"Do you think two million is too little?" At this moment, Jin Siyang's arrogance as a rich kid was revealed: "I wonder if your useless son can earn two million."
"How dare you say that about my son? I tell you, don't bully the poor young man!"
Jin Siyang glanced at her indifferently, his eyes seemed to say, so what.
