Shen Luyan's father was very busy on weekdays and held a high position, so he was always missing. Even on the New Year's Day, he still had official duties and didn't arrive home until around eight o'clock.
The Shen family celebrates the New Year very lively. There are many members of my family, and the younger ones dare not disobey the wishes of their elders. No matter what, they have to go home to celebrate the festival.
New window paper has been put up at home, and the children have set off fireworks in the backyard after dinner.
Father Shen hadn't seen his son for a long time. After dinner, he called him to the study alone.
"Your second uncle told me that you are doing great at what you do now."
"What else did the second uncle say?"
"Let me advise you to stay on top of everything you do."
Shen Luyan knew that his elders had lived like this over the years, leaving an inch of life in everything, but he didn't like this. Cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots, they would grow again with the spring breeze.
Being ruthless is not a bad thing.
Shen Luyan pursed his lips: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Father Shen is not afraid that his son will cause trouble to him. If he can be easily pulled down in his position, he will have been living in vain all these years.
It's just that he is older and wants to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue.
But obviously, his son is not a person who listens to advice.
He has a very stubborn temper and doesn't like others to interfere in his affairs.
This was the case with the company, and it was also the same when he got married.
Father Shen didn't have much impression of his daughter-in-law. He didn't meet her often. He only remembered that she was a very quiet little girl. Except for her poor family background, she seemed to be okay in other aspects.
"Why haven't you seen Xiao Jiang during the Chinese New Year?"
"She has returned to Nancheng."
"in argument?"
"No." Shen Luyan also knew that it would be quite strange to celebrate the New Year separately, but he didn't want to force Jiang Zhi to go back to Shen's house with him. The Spring Festival was already the most important holiday, and he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable anymore.
"She wants to go back and see her family."
"Why didn't you go back with her?" Father Shen asked calmly.
Shen Luyan was stunned for a long time. If he and she were a real couple, he would of course accompany his wife to Nancheng to celebrate the New Year. Unfortunately, he and Jiang Zhi did not have such a relationship.
"I'm too busy to get away."
"No matter how busy you are, you should take good care of your wife."
"I see."
Father Shen didn't say anything unnecessary. He just listened if he could hear it. If he couldn't, forget it.
Shen Luyan went downstairs and they were setting off fireworks in the yard.
The younger members of the family are all afraid of this elder brother, who is not angry but has a serious character.
Shen Luyan looked absently at the fireworks outside the window. The name Jiang Zhi kept popping into his mind. The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. Suddenly, his five-year-old niece suddenly appeared and hugged his leg, "Uncle, Where is aunt?"
My niece likes her aunt very much.
Because her aunt always makes delicious food for her.
Shen Luyan touched his niece's head and said, "Auntie is home."
The child spoke without hesitation: "Isn't this my aunt's home?"
Shen Luyan was stunned for a second, "No."
The Shen family is not her home.
The little niece was very disappointed, so Shen Luyan used the toys at hand to tease her, which quickly attracted her attention.
"Uncle, do you know whether the baby in my mother's belly is a brother or a sister?"
Shen Luyan's cousin is pregnant with her second child. She is already six or seven months old and the child will be born in a few months.
"Do you want a brother or a sister?"
"I want a sister."
"That's my sister."
"If he were a younger brother, I wouldn't want to play with him." My little niece always likes to say childish words, "Will aunt give me a little sister?"
Shen Luyan thought of that child.
The children who were not welcomed by him, the children who were resolutely abandoned by him.
Before today, he had never thought about the gender of the child. Because it didn't matter, he couldn't accept it whether it was a boy or a girl.
Men's feelings for children are completely different from women's.
There is no hardship of ten months of pregnancy, no touch of blood fusion.
If you say give up, give up.
Cool and thin nature.
Shen Luyan looked into his niece's eyes and thought of Jiang Zhi again. Her eyes always looked so innocent. He said, "No."
He rubbed his little niece's hair and said, "Let's go out and set off fireworks."
There are many juniors in the Shen family, so if Shen Luyan is around, they won't be able to let go.
I respect this brother, but I also fear this brother.
But Shen Luyan drove out at night and went to the mansion on Chunhe Road.
Gu Tingxuan and others had been waiting for a long time. Jiang Suining arrived late in the face of the wind and snow. She took off her furry woolen hat and patted the snowflakes on the hat, "It's so snowy outside!"
There is a white mist whenever I speak.
Jiang Suining rubbed his hands, which were red from the cold, and stretched out his hand towards Shen Luyan, "Where is my red envelope!?"
Shen Luyan raised his eyebrows: "How old are you and you still need a red envelope?"
Jiang Suining took two steps forward and stared at him: "Shen Luyan, are you so stingy now?"
Shen Luyan had something on his mind and suppressed the inexplicable irritability, "You lack me?"
Jiang Suining said okay, then took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into his palm: "You must keep it for you. This is my blessing."
There is not much money in it, but the most important thing is this feeling.
Shen Luyan smiled and accepted the slightly childish red envelope, "Thank you."
Jiang Suining stared at him, "Where's mine? If there's no red envelope, there's always a gift, right?"
Shen Luyan took the paper bag on the table and handed it to her, "This is for you."
It is a bracelet of Buddhist beads obtained from a temple.
Turn on the light and stay safe.
Jiang Suining smiled brightly at him, "Shen Luyan, you are so kind to me."
He was still very nice to her.
He should still be in love with her, right?
Jiang Suining knows better than anyone how rare Shen Luyan's love is. Even if part of this love is stolen from her, she is reluctant to let it go. Now she just wants to quickly get rid of Jiang Zhi, a thorn in her side.
As long as Shen Luyan and Jiang Zhi divorce.
She had a way to make Jiang Zhi disappear from this world.
Jiang Suining suppressed the coldness in his eyes, raised his head and smiled sweetly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shen Luyan's cell phone ringing.
Shen Luyan glanced at the caller number. He was silent for a long time and chose to hang up the call.
I don't want to hear her voice yet.
Just when I saw her name light up on the screen of my mobile phone, the annoyance that I had nowhere to vent came back again.
Jiang Zhi couldn't say he was disappointed after being hung up on. Maybe Shen Luyan was busy.
But she seemed unable to convince herself with this argument.
He just didn't want to answer her call.
Jiang Zhi didn't expect that he would be so annoying to him now.
Maybe she shouldn't intrude on his private life.
Jiang Zhi adjusted his mentality, tidied up the house as if nothing had happened, then hugged his legs and huddled on the sofa, absently watching the boring party on the TV.
Shen Luyan was also a little distracted and was out of shape when playing cards.
One moment, it was the scene of Jiang Zhi smiling and telling herself that she was going back to Nancheng for the New Year, and the other moment, there was the sound of her huddled alone in the lounge crying and crying just after the operation.
It's almost midnight on New Year's Eve.
A new year is about to usher in.
Shen Luyan pushed down the chips in front of him and suddenly stood up, "I'll go to the balcony to make a phone call."
