Old Master Yuan smiled and said, "As expected of you, I, Yuan Huaijian's granddaughter."

The news about Zhong Zhaowei spread to the workplace within a few days, and Zou Lina was the first to be bullied by her colleagues. In the past, Zhong Zhaowei supported her, so she was the only one who could bully others. But now it is different.

Zou Lina not only had to endure the pointing and criticizing of others and the isolation of her female colleagues, but also had to endure the meaningful and malicious looks from her male colleagues. She was on the verge of collapse.

What did she do wrong? Zhong Zhaowei had said before that he had a partner, but if he hadn't agreed, she would never have gotten so close to him. Besides, Zhong Zhaowei had already promised to find a chance to confront the other party, but who knew that things would turn out like this in an instant.

She asked for leave from work because she couldn't stand the rumors and was afraid that she would collapse.

Yuan Jianing stayed with Luo Qiao for three days, helping Aunt Rong take care of Yanyan's Yueyue every day, and then learning how to cook from Aunt Rong. She quickly adjusted her mentality and went back to work in a good mood.

Luo Qiao has been very busy these days. The project he and Professor Chang are researching has made a breakthrough and is expected to have a finished product before the end of the year. If the clinical application is good, it will make a significant contribution to the medical community.

So Luo Qiao was busy these days, leaving home early and coming back late. Finally, with the coordination and joint efforts of all parties, she completed all the tests and officially entered the clinical trial period.

The work came to an end and New Year's Eve arrived. This year, Lu Xinyi and Lu Yiting went directly to Gu's house to celebrate the New Year. Luo Qiao also returned to Gu's house with her two precious daughters and Lu Yichen on New Year's Eve.

This year, the two adopted sons, Gu Junfeng and Gu Qihao, also returned to Beijing with their families to spend the New Year with Grandpa Gu. The preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner began after lunch, and Luo Qiao even showed off her cooking skills this year.

After the food was served and everyone was seated, Grandpa Gu said with a smile: "This year's New Year's Day is the most complete gathering for our family. Now that your mother and Tao Ran have been avenged, I have no regrets in my life and I am content.

It’s not easy for our family to get together. Come, let’s raise our glasses and wish everyone good health and safety in the new year, smooth work, fulfillment of all wishes, and all the best. "

Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite good.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they moved to the living room, where Aunt Tang brought out several plates of strawberries, oranges, apples, and bananas, and later brought out various dried fruits and preserved fruits.

Her mother Qiao Wenhui coughed lightly: "How old are you? You are not stable at all."

Gu Ziyan said embarrassedly: "I am just excited. I didn't expect to see strawberries in Beijing in the middle of winter."

Old Master Gu raised his hand and took a bright red strawberry: "This is what your second cousin and his wife brought back. If you like it, eat more."

Gu Ziyan couldn't help but look at Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen. They seemed not to have heard what their grandfather said and were having fun with their two little nieces.

Gu Ziyan has always known that her grandfather’s attitude towards them and her second cousin is different. She also knows that her father is only an adopted son of the Gu family and cannot be compared with her eldest aunt’s three children. But she would be lying if she didn’t envy them.

Every time she came back, she wanted to perform well and attract her grandfather's attention. She even thought about staying in Beijing. She accidentally heard from her mother that the Gu family had a lot of good things.

She stood up and walked in front of Luo Qiao's family: "Second cousin, your two little nieces are so cute. Can I play with them for a while?"

This cousin himself had not had much contact with him, and he felt that it was artificial: "It's time for the two of them to take a shower. You can play together tomorrow."

After hearing this, Gu Ziyan had no choice but to give up.

After Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen carried the two children back to the backyard, he pretended to be innocent and said, "Second cousin really loves his nieces and does everything himself. If it were two nephews, I don't know how much he would spoil them."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After saying this, he picked up the cup on the table to hide his guilty conscience.
