It was still dark, and the phone rang rapidly.

Mu Qingtong woke up with a start and quickly picked up his cell phone to answer the call.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Xie Xingchen's voice on the other end of the phone, and she was a little disappointed.

"Qingtong, Daqian hasn't come back all night. We can't get in to the Yan family. You..." It was the call from Mrs. Mu, who was a little worried and a little flattering. "You and Lu Mingyue can talk." , can you help me inquire about the situation?"

Mu Qingtong turned to look at the time.

5:10 am.

She didn't fall asleep until after 3 o'clock in the morning.

Pinching her brows tiredly, Mu Qingtong said patiently: "Grandma, don't worry too much. Lu Mingyue is very reasonable and will not harm Daqian's body. At most, she will suffer a little."

"But..." Mrs. Mu wanted to say more, but Mu Qingtong had a headache and said, "I'm very tired."

Then hung up the phone.

But when I lay down on the bed again, I couldn't fall asleep.

Mu Qingtong simply got up, washed up, put on light makeup, and went out.

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to visit relatives.

Yan Chengzhi will take Lu Mingyue and several children back to Yan's old house today.

Lu Mingyue was listening to Grandma Yan when Mu Qingtong called.

Grandma Yan put the rice cakes, fried dumplings, oranges and other new year goods she had prepared long ago into exquisite baskets, while telling Mingyue to pay a good New Year greeting to Mr. Yan.

These things should be done by the housekeeper, but Grandma Yan always likes to take care of it herself.

Lu Mingyue smiled helplessly, "Grandma, this is not the first time I have returned to my old house to pay New Year greetings, so you don't need to be too nervous."

Mr. Yan has always disliked Lu Mingyue. It was because of Yan Chengzhi's face that he did not dare to embarrass Lu Mingyue face to face.

However, Lu Mingyue's temper is much more restrained now than before. Even if he wants to set an example for his children, he will still be polite to Mr. Yan.

Yan Xiaoxi was wearing a neat little suit. As she stood there, she already showed the temperament of a handsome young man.

Yan Xiaoan was wearing a pink princess dress and stood next to Yan Xiaoxi. She obviously wanted to imitate Yan Ningning and run around like that, but when she saw her brother standing aside calmly, she held back. From time to time, she straightened her back and raised her chin, imagining that she was the most dazzling princess.

Yan Ningning didn't care about her brother and sister's pretentiousness. She bit her thumb and reached out to pick up a piece of rice cake to eat.

Grandma Yan quickly grabbed the rice cake back and said, "It's already a bit cold here. The kids want to eat something hot."

Aunt Fang immediately took her to the kitchen.

Chu Lingxiu stood aside and watched with uncontrollable envy in her eyes.

Sister Mingyue's family atmosphere is really good, and her children are beautiful and cute.

She really wanted to play with them.

But she didn't know anyone in the Yan family except Lu Mingyue. She was afraid of causing trouble to Lu Mingyue, and she was also embarrassed to speak and attract other people's attention, so she sat quietly in the corner.

After packing their things, Grandma Yan went to the incense counter at home and lit a few sticks of incense. Then she sealed the red envelopes and put them in the basket containing new year's goods, so that they could set off at any time.

Yan Chengzhi then closed his phone and prepared to go out with his wife and children.

He said to Grandma Yan: "Don't worry, grandpa will not embarrass Mingyue."

To be more realistic, he has the final say in the entire Yan family now. Those cousins ​​​​not only rushed to curry favor with Lu Mingyue, but at least they did not dare to suffer her injustice openly.

Grandma nodded repeatedly and told Yan Chengzhi to talk to the old man properly and not to quarrel during the Chinese New Year.

Just at this time, Mu Qingtong called.

After Lu Mingyue answered the call, she tactfully stated that Darcy would not be in any danger and was just asking her to be punished appropriately.

Otherwise, Lingxiu's grievance will be in vain.

Mu Qingtong responded, "Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Yan. I'm not here to ask for help. I just want to ask how Lingxiu is doing."

Lu Mingyue looked at Chu Lingxiu and said with a smile: "She may be a little acquainted with life, but it's okay. Leo will come to pick her up later."

When Lu Jinnan rushed back to Jinghai last night, it was late at night and everyone was already asleep, so he didn't disturb everyone and made an agreement with Mingyue to come and pick them up the next day.

Chu Lingxiu got up very early today. Seeing Grandma Yan and Aunt Fang busy early in the morning, she offered to help.

Aunt Fang didn't refuse and asked her to help steam the rice cakes.

The elders can see that this girl is shy. If she is not allowed to do something, she may become restless sitting there alone.

While busy at work, Grandma Yan took the time to seal her a big red envelope.

Aunt Fang also gave her one.

After Lu Mingyue and Yan Chengzhi got up, they each gave her a big red envelope.

In cities in the south, young people can get red envelopes as long as they are not married yet.

Chu Lingxiu was a little uneasy as she held a pile of thick red envelopes. But she also understands that she should keep the red envelopes given by her elders.

Her current ability is limited and she cannot give anything back to Mingyue and her family. She can only secretly decide in her heart that she must repay them well if she has the opportunity in the future.

Mingyue and Mu Qingtong briefly talked about Lingxiu's situation, and then talked about Lu Jinnan. Uncle Cheng, who was doing morning exercises, happened to bring him in.

Lu Mingyue smiled and said to Mu Qingtong, "Leo is here."

Mu Qingtong and Lu Mingyue sighed after hanging up the phone.

I used to be so busy, but suddenly being free is a bit inappropriate.

At this time in previous years, she would still stay at home to deal with various relatives, but this year she had a bit of a quarrel with her family, and she really didn't want to feel uncomfortable going back.

I simply drove to Jinjiuyinshi.

It was here that she met Xie Xingchen.

He suddenly disappeared for a day and a night. I don't know if he went home or came here to work?

None of this mattered. Mu Qingtong was most afraid that he would go to that woman's house. She said they would get together and part ways, but whenever she thought of Xie Xingchen making other women laugh, she felt unhappy.

Although it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Golden Nine and Silver Ten were still lively. Mu Qingtong asked around, but there was no news about Xie Xingchen.

In view of the drunk man he met last time, Mu Qingtong did not stay long and left quickly to go home.

There was nothing to do when I got home.

I can’t read books, feel noisy when listening to music, and feel bored when watching movies...

The mood is unprecedentedly impetuous.

For the first time, Mu Qingtong felt that it was better to be busy.

She had to find something to do so that she wouldn't always think about that lying liar.

But after looking through the address book, except for some capable subordinates, there was not a single best friend I could chat with.

Except for Lu Jinnan, there was no other friend of the opposite sex that she could be interested in asking out.

Mu Qingtong simply gave up and went to take a hot bath again. After soaking in it until his whole body almost wrinkled, he slowly got up and put on his clothes.

Fortunately, just when she was about to lose her patience, she finally received a call from Lu Jinnan.

"Are you free? Come out for a meal?"

Mu Qingtong replied almost instantly: "I'm free."

She hurriedly put away her makeup and went out for the appointment.

Arriving at the designated box, Mu Qingtong saw Chu Lingxiu sitting next to Lu Jinnan.

Lingxiu took the menu and looked down. Lu Jinnan was talking beside her, probably letting her make up her own mind about what to order.

When he noticed that Mu Qingtong was coming, Lu Jinnan stood up to greet her and pulled out the chair for her like a gentleman.

Chu Lingxiu greeted her obediently.

After Lu Jinnan ordered a glass of juice for her, he smiled and asked, "Didn't your little boyfriend come with you?"

Mu Qingtong raised her eyes to look at him.
