Chapter 102 Lian Li, say Happy New Year to me
The Shenzhai compound is heavily guarded, and for the New Year's Eve dinner, all the Jin family members who usually live outside have returned.
Mr. Jin was sitting on the main seat, with his wife and daughter on his left and right, followed by his two sons and daughter-in-law, and then his grandchildren.
Adhering to the principle that harmony is the most important thing in a family, everyone at the table was silent and had dinner slowly.
After dinner, Jin Shiyue, Jin Yanting and his father's second uncle went to Mr. Jin's study to listen to the old man's lectures.
After the training, Jin Shiyue strode out of the study. The servant came over and said, "Master Yue, the old lady invites you to go to the greenhouse."
When Jin Shiyue arrived at the conservatory, Mrs. Jin and Chen Shifei were looking down at a stack of photos on the crystal coffee table.
When the elders look at the photos of rich ladies in the circle, their intentions are obvious.
"Ah Yue, come here quickly. How do you think this girl is doing?" Mrs. Jin held up a photo to show Jin Shiyue.
Jin Shiyue glanced at her and concluded lazily: "I'm not suitable to be your granddaughter-in-law."
Chen Shifei picked up another photo, "The daughter of the Lin family just graduated from Stanford and returned to China."
Jin Shiyue's expression remained unchanged: "It's suitable to be a sister-in-law."
Mrs. Jin's graceful face was filled with a smile: "You child, I am looking for a wife for you now. What does it have to do with your elder brother?"
"My eldest brother is not even married. You are so anxious to find me a wife. You lack the rules." Jin Shiyue leaned lazily on the sofa, his long legs slightly open, showing a lazy and relaxed posture.
"Rules?" Mrs. Jin's smile deepened, "When did you have any rules? You don't behave properly all day long."
Jin Shiyue lowered his head to look at his mobile phone, stood up, and said with an unruly look, "Choose the sister-in-law. You can ask the eldest brother to come over. I'm leaving."
Chen Shifei raised her head and looked at Jin Shiyue's back, her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Mrs. Jin was a little helpless: "This child can't be kept even during the New Year reunion."
Unable to stay, Jin Shiyue bumped into Jin Shuyu when he was crossing the long bridge in the courtyard.
"It's the New Year soon, where are you going?" Jin Shuyu was wearing a golden cheongsam, and her elegant and noble temperament intertwined with the dancing snowflakes to create a beautiful artistic painting.
"Hand out red envelopes." Jin Shiyue played with the car keys with his knuckled fingers, his dark eyes flashing with a faint smile, and his voice was careless.
Jin Shuyu: "Hand out red envelopes?"
Jin Shiyue pointed his long finger at Jin Shuyu's bag and said, "Red envelope."
Jin Shuyu took out one of the red envelopes he would give to his junior tomorrow and gave it to Jin Shiyue.
Jin Shiyue: "Three."
Jin Shuyu simply gave him six: "Six and six, great success."
She asked: "Did the old lady look for you just now?"
Jin Shiyue: "Yeah."
"What's the matter? Are you planning to match you up with Xu Jingxi, the wealthy businessman?" Jin Shuyu's temperament is more similar to that of Jin Shiyue, and he tends to be flamboyant and unrestrained.
"Pick a sister-in-law." Jin Shiyue finished speaking concisely and walked past Jin Shuyu, "Let's go."
"Looking for a brother-in-law to pick a sister-in-law?" Jin Shuyu pretended to be angry and cursed, "This brat is trying to trick me again."

When Lian Li was a child, she would look forward to the New Year. In the new year, the father and daughter would find their mother and have a New Year's Eve dinner as a family and have a lively festival.
Like thousands of ordinary households.
There is no need for delicacies or luxurious villas, as long as the family sits together and has a hot New Year's Eve dinner.
When they were in school, some students would show off the clothes and toys their mothers bought for them, and some would complain that their mothers were late for school because they slept in makeup and slept in. Their mothers had different education methods but they all loved their children.
This makes Lian Li envious.
She missed her mother very much, but she couldn't show it in front of Lian Jingcheng.
Lian Jingcheng wanted to find her mother more than anyone else.
Lian Li waited day after day, year after year, for the moment when the family of three would be reunited.
But before the third person arrived, she was the only one left.
Lian Li spent twelve years waiting.
Later, she no longer waited for the family love that was destined not to belong to her.
Mom, no longer Mom.
It was more of an obsession, an explanation she wanted to give to Lian Jingcheng.
It was also the shackles that trapped her.
It is said that parents are the most tolerant people in the world. Lian Li does not have parents, so she learned to tolerate herself. Allow yourself to have shortcomings and allow others to dislike you.
Lian Li put down her phone, got up, went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took a look around. The New Year's Eve dinner was supposed to be rice dumplings, which symbolize reunion, but she only wanted to eat noodles.
Take out the beef, vegetables and noodles, and cook yourself a bowl of hot beef noodles.
There was heavy snow outside, the graupel grains were in pieces, and the snowflakes fell, fluttering on the clear windows, reflecting the situation inside the house.
Lian Li carried the noodles to the living room, placed them on the coffee table, and sat casually on the carpet, eating the noodles while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
After eating the noodles, she sat back on the sofa and took a soft pillow and stuffed it in her arms.
There are endless messages on WeChat, and everyone has begun to send New Year greetings in groups.
Lian Li transformed into a heartless robot and quickly replied with the same "Happy New Year" emoticon.
She clicked on the new chat page and was about to post the emoticon in an assembly line when the caller ID [young master] suddenly popped up on the screen.
Lian Li ignored it. She didn't want Jin Shiyue to ruin her mood on New Year's Eve.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Even though she wasn't in a good mood right now, it was better than making the worst worse.
Everyone yearns for the rich and powerful, but Lian Li doesn't.
There is a lot of materialism in the circle, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
When she stayed in the capital, she just wanted to find her mother, live a responsible life, and didn't want to get involved in right and wrong.
Lian Li admitted that she was not averse to physical contact with Jin Shiyue.
But she was just too lonely.
And the temperature on his body was too warm.
She likes Jin Yanting, but not Jin Shiyue.
Jin Shiyue is such a bastard, so mean, so annoying... He is not someone who can bring her good luck at all.
She had enough bad luck in her life to stay away from him.
Jin Shiyue tirelessly made three calls in a row.
Lian Li's eyes reflected the fourth call notification, and she remembered that his last note was [Master of the God of Wealth].
The God of Wealth is too big to refuse, and the Master of the God of Wealth is too big to refuse, right?
Lian Li thought for a moment and answered the call before hanging up: "Hello."
The voice on the other end of the phone was lazy: "Are you asleep?"
"I was woken up by you while I was sleeping soundly." Lian Li said nonsense.
Jin Shiyue seemed to have guessed that she was lying and chuckled: "Come here and open the door. I will apologize to you in person."
Lian Li subconsciously turned to look at the door, "Are you at the door of my house?"
"Or on your bed?"
"..." The eldest young master is always lazy and not serious.
Without even looking at the surveillance video, he put on his shoes and walked to the door.
She opened the door and before she could see the man outside the door clearly, her face was held in his big hands.
Maybe it was because he had been outdoors for a long time. His hands were cold and she instinctively stepped back when they touched her skin.
This movement was convenient for Jin Shiyue. He stepped forward with his long legs, lightly hooked his feet, and the door closed behind him.
Before Lian Li could react, his hard and hot body was already pressed against the door.
The man's dark and deep eyes stared at her for two seconds, then he held her chin with one hand and lowered his head to kiss her.
Lian Li softly said: "Jin Shiyue..."
Jin Shiyue was gentle at first, but when he heard her calling his name, he instantly became fierce and clung to her inseparably.
The air was squeezed out, and Lian Li was deprived of oxygen by the kiss. She groaned from her nose and weakly pushed against his chest with both hands.
The sound of fireworks exploding came from the TV in the living room.
It indicates that the new year has officially arrived.
At the same time, the man's hoarse voice fell in her ears.
"Lian Li, say Happy New Year to me."
