The Pretender's Taoyaoyi Building

Ming Restaurant.

Mingtai found that there were still a lot of happy characters in the house, and the second room next door to his room was even pasted with a big red double happiness. Ah Xiang said that it was the new house of the young master.

There was no time to change clothes, they just took off their coats and came down, Taoyao added a cardigan sweater that she wears at home on top of the cheongsam.

Mingcheng first poured wine for everyone.

"Thank you, Cheng." Ming Jing said in place of the others.

Minglou sat on the left of Mingjing, beside Taoyao and his son Mingrui.

Mingtai sits opposite Minglou.

Minglou watched as Mingtai opened the gift he had just given him, "There are no rules at the dinner table, you can open it after dinner."

Mingtai felt wronged, "Isn't the food not ready yet?"

"That won't work either!" Minglou refused.

Mingtai looked at Mingjing, "Sister——"

"Elder Sister, although it's a holiday, Mingrui is still young, so he's the best at learning." Tao Yao chimed in, "Wait and maybe there will be surprises."

Mingjing originally wanted to help Mingtai, but now that Mingrui is here, it is true, and if he helps Mingtai, Minglou may not listen to Minglou's words in the future, "Listen to your elder brother, and watch it after dinner. "

"What surprise, it's obviously a shock." Mingtai had something to say, and he had already seen the gift. "Why is it a belt again?" He glanced at Taoyao.

Ah Cheng poured wine for Tao Yao, "This is the latest style in Paris." Don't be fooled.

"I'm given a belt every year." Mingtai was dissatisfied with Minglou, "I now have more belts than pants."

Ah Cheng poured himself another drink.

"I know, you just want to tie me down, don't you?" Mingtai looked strangely at Minglou.

"That's right, I want to tie you to death." No matter how you explain Minglou's words, it makes sense.

"You'd better tie your sister-in-law tighter." Mingtai brought the topic to Taoyao again, "It's not uncommon to see beautiful women, but it's rare to see such special ones."

Tao Yao lightly shook the wine glass, "How can an unspecial woman marry your brother? In fact, I also think you are quite different, unlike ordinary Hong Kong university students." She warned him not to provoke herself again.

Mingcheng looked at Mingtai and didn't get any cheap from Taoyao.

Mingtai cleverly shifted his target, he didn't know Fu Taoyao, but he knew big brother "I want a watch, I like the one in your hand."

Minglou looked down at his wrist, while Taoyao squinted.

Ming Jing knew the value of that watch, "Children, why do you want such an expensive watch? You are confused all day long, and if you lose it, don't want it!"

Mingtai murmured, putting away the belt, "Just tell me if you don't spend money." His expression was unwilling.

Minglou pretended not to hear, "Say what?"

Mingcheng walked to the seat next to him, "Brother won't give you this watch! This is Taoyao's birthday gift for her brother, who spent more than half a year's work savings. For this gift, sister-in-law works three jobs a day You still have the nerve to ask big brother for it.”

Mingtai looked at Taoyao, "I can't see it, you put so much effort into it, no wonder even Sister Manchun lost to you! Miss Fu, you are really capable!"

"Mingtai!" Ming Jing shouted, "What's the matter with you? How did Taoyao offend you? The one who picks her nose and eyes, and the one who's having a big festival, what's the surname Wang?"

"The white lady moves mountains and seas, so what if I buy a watch?" Tao Yao is not angry. Here it is." Picking up the wine glass, "I wish my little uncle to meet your white lady as soon as possible!"

Minglou glanced between the two of them.

"Are you sure you are my elder brother's white lady?"

"No, I want to be Fan Lihua more." Fight side by side with him.

"Fan Lihua was rested for three days!" Ming Tai also picked up his wine glass.

"But she endured the humiliation and rebuilt her career. Didn't she still get married by Xue Dingshan for the third time?!"

Mingcheng knows that Taoyao's mouth is not bad, and it seems that the past few years have been even better.

"Come on, Axiang, Axiu, let's sit together." Mingjing felt that Mingtai probably didn't like Taoyao's other marriages, so he targeted her everywhere, raised his glass, "Today is New Year's Eve, you can't say anything unhappy , everyone toast; Happy New Year!"

"Everyone is in good health!" Minglou also wished him well.

Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the new year.

Mingtai also temporarily forgot about other things, and returned to the humorous past, talking about Mingjing covering his mouth and laughing, talking to Minglou, and punching Mingcheng.

The reunion at the wine table was happy, and the laughter was so lively.

Taoyao felt as if she had returned to her peaceful and comfortable childhood, surrounded by family members, without worrying about any danger, and everyone was only immersed in the present happiness.

"What's the matter?" When Minglou put down his wine glass, he noticed that the people around him were full of eyes. In fact, he had been paying attention to it. She ate very little and didn't drink any wine.

Smiling and shaking his head, "No." It's just that he has no appetite, not to mention that he is afraid of disturbing the current joy and happiness.

Ming Lou picked up a piece of fish for her, "Those who use their brains should eat more fish. This mandarin fish has few spines, but it is also delicious." He knew that she didn't like to eat fish with many spines.

"Ah Xiang, why is this fish so sweet?" Mingcheng was eating the fish, and deliberately joked, "Too much sugar makes me tired."

"Sweet?" Ah Xiang immediately took a mouthful in a daze, "Isn't it sweet?"

Minglou and Taoyao squinted their eyes together, Taoyao took out a gift from under the table, "Got it, here it is." and handed it to him.

Mingcheng put down the chopsticks, "I took them out so late, I obviously prepared a gift!" He took it.

Tao Yao got up and walked to Ming Jing's side, "Sister, this is a gift prepared by Ming Lou and me, please accept it."

"All these years, I have given them red envelopes to buy gifts, and this time I have mine too?" Ming Jing was delighted, and took over, "Can you open it?"

"Of course." Tao Yao returned to her seat, "Sister, thank you for accepting me, I may be busy in the future, Mingrui still needs to ask you to take care of me."

When the mirror opened, it was a very beautiful diamond brooch.

Mingtai turned to the left to look at the elder sister's gift, "Wow, what a big diamond." This brooch must be expensive.Then look at the presents that Mingtai unwrapped. They are diamond collar clips and cufflinks. "They are all diamonds. Ms. Fu is really generous." What about his?

Minglou raised his eyes: Miss Fu again? !

"Thank you, Tao Yao." What Ming Jing cared about was not her things, but her heart.

Mingcheng also liked this simple and generous gift, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Mingtai looked at her, "Where's mine? Could it be because I was unprepared? The belt doesn't count. Brother knows I'll be back, didn't he tell you?"

Tao Yao looked at him, smiled without saying a word.

Mingtai put his hands on the table, "Well, it seems that I'm not prepared, then I don't want anything else, you ask the elder brother to give me the watch in his hand, and I'll forget it."

"Mingtai, don't be joking." Mingcheng put down the gift, "I really like the watch and asked my eldest brother to buy you one." Taoyao actually gave the watch to express her love, how can she ask for such a gift.

"I don't want big brother to buy it, I want her to buy it!" Mingtai insisted on provocation.

Tao Yao smiled, "Sincerely call me sister-in-law, I will buy it for you, no matter how expensive it is!" The sound just now was just to deceive Ming Jing.

Mingjing sensed that Mingtai was at a disadvantage.

"Send me off first, and I'll recognize you!" Mingtai roundabout.

Tao Yao shook her head, "Recognize it first, then buy it for you, with your big brother's money!"

"Sister..." Mingtai couldn't beat Taoyao, so he asked his sister for help.

Ming Jing also felt sorry for him, but also felt that Ming Tai was a bit out of line, "It's not a big deal for your eldest brother to get married, but Tao Yao is already your sister-in-law, no matter what she was like before, we are a family now; Ming Tai, don't be so ignorant, You see that your elder brother has been silent, hurry up, and give your elder brother and sister-in-law a drink."

Mingtai looked at Minglou: He just refused to admit it.

Minglou's eyes were deep, unable to see any expression.

Mingcheng felt that the atmosphere was not right, "Sister-in-law, what gift do you plan to give to elder brother? Can you reveal it?" To calm down.

"He still wants presents?" Tao Yao snorted coldly.

"Why don't I have a gift?" Ming Lou's expression towards his wife softened a lot, "I'm not treating you well? The whole Tale of Genji is put on the bedside."

Mingcheng thought for a moment, then laughed, Mingjing was stunned for a moment and then lowered his head and covered his mouth.

Tao Yao immediately blushed, warned, and whispered "Don't talk nonsense!"

Mingcheng sincerely hopes, "I think the best gift that sister-in-law can give to eldest brother is to make up the word 'good' next year. Don't you think so?"

Ming Jing was very satisfied with this sentence, and nodded, "If there are more children in the family, it will be more lively. Taoyao, the gift Ah Cheng said is the gift I want most next year."

"Me too!" Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, "I want a cute little niece!"

Mingrui suddenly looked at his parents and said, "I want it too!" In fact, he didn't know, he just thought they had them, why didn't he, so he added this sentence.

Rao Taoyao also covered her eyes, and reached out to touch her son's forehead, "It's fine if you cheat on your father, why is it still developing into a cheating mother mode now."

Mingrui pouted, "Auntie, my mother bullied me." He was very good at observing words and expressions, climbed off the chair, and ran to the mirror of the parents at home.

"I haven't finished the meal..." Tao Yao narrowed her eyes.

"I've finished eating without leaving a single grain of rice." Mingrui retorted, staying beside Mingjing, "Aunt."

"Hey, hey." Ming Jing likes that Mingrui clings to her, this child fills her with the sense of loss from Mingtai, "Today's Chinese New Year, let him take it easy this time."

"Big sister..." Taoyao was afraid that Mingrui would become a dude.

Ming Jing asked Mingrui to sit on his lap, saying seriously, "Then you will give me a girl who can be pampered and grown up."

Why does this topic always revolve around children?

Taoyao asked Minglou for help: We have discussed the child's problem.

"Let it be, let it be." Minglou smiled, and did not hesitate to help "Ah Xiang, let's serve a meal." Also changed the topic.

Axiu got up automatically, "I'll do it."

Soon everyone was eating, and Taoyao felt that she really had no appetite and ate very little.

Mingtai didn't eat "Sister, I want to listen to the play."

Ming Jing was really hungry, eating, "It's late at night, where can I go to listen to the opera, the theater has already left."

Mingtai's eyes fell on Minglou, "Why are you going to the theater, my eldest brother sings much better than them." He smiled.

Ming Lou ate half of it and put down his chopsticks.

Ming Jing's eyes slanted slightly, "Your elder brother is also tired, let's listen to it another day."

"What's the matter?" Mingtai persisted, "If you become a high-ranking official, will you lose your value by singing for us?"

Minglou didn't speak, but just drank the red wine in the glass.

"Taoyao, you haven't heard of elder brother singing, have you?" Mingtai looked sideways at Taoyao.

Ming Jing pulled Ming Tai, "Why are you talking? My sister-in-law doesn't call me." Why do you call her by her boudoir name.

"Names are meant to be called by people." Mingtai was in a pattern of embarrassing the couple today, "Can't she be called by her first name?"

Taoyao pressed Minglou's clenched hand, "I really didn't know you were a fancier. Some fanciers in Tianjin also have top-notch singing skills. Is it Peking opera or Kunqu opera? Sister, is he good at singing?"

"Well, good." Mingjing said along, easing the atmosphere, "Minglou, why don't you come here for a short while and let Taoyao listen too."

Mingcheng also eased, "Brother, once a year, it's rare."

Minglou held her hand backhand, "Okay, once a year, it counts as making Elder Sister and Taoyao happy." Looking at Mingtai who made him unhappy today, "It has nothing to do with you." Then he turned to Mingjing, "Then I will Come to Westgate?"

Ding Jing clasped the table with his hands and exclaimed, "Okay!"

Minglou led his wife, "Ah Cheng, let's go." Ah Cheng met Jinghu.

Mingjing led Mingrui, "Let's go."
