Chapter 220 New Year after Rebirth
Chapter 220 New Year after Rebirth
"It hurts~ Caiyue, let's contact each other by phone. I'm leaving first." Seeing Chen Xi's murderous look, Sun Haiming quickly made a gesture of making a phone call, and ran away in shame the next second.
"Pfft~ My son is really awesome. Now that your father is gone, I will rely on you for protection from now on." Chen Caiyue stood up, held Chen Xi's arm and said with a smile.
"Eat the roast duck, it's almost cold! What the hell, if he dares to call me next time, tell me or I'll find someone to break his legs."
"Hehe, I know. This guy used to chase me in school, but so many years have passed and I forgot about it."
Chen Caiyue waved her hand, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, as if she had forgotten what had just happened.
"This guy was so ruthless that my shoulder was almost broken. He really inherited Chen Yifeng's character. When I return to Australia and do a few more deals, I will definitely be impressed by Qian Caiyue."
"Hello, Mr. Wang, good evening! Are you interested in visiting Australia? The air tickets and hotel are all included, and I'll give you an extra 100,000 chips..."
After leaving the hotel, Sun Haiming quickly found an empty corner. He first checked the injury on his shoulder. After confirming that it was not serious, he immediately took out his mobile phone and began to dial the phone numbers in the address book one by one.
"Mom, what was that guy doing just now? He looked like he was selling potatoes."
"Haha, how would I know? I almost can't remember who that person is. There are so many people chasing after your mother."
"That's because mom is so beautiful."
"Hehe, why are you so talkative today? Do you have something to ask of me?"
"No! I just hope that the two of us can work hard and live a good life in the future."
Chen Xi felt sad when he thought of the later days of his previous life.
My mother used to live a life of a rich lady, but she was cheated out of all her money and her driver quit, so she started taking taxis. Sometimes she couldn’t get a taxi, so she took the bus.
He still remembers that his mother cried at that time.
I am also a failure in giving my mother a good life.
"Yeah, let's work hard together."
Chen Caiyue nodded and happily started eating the roast duck again.
Night, Green Garden Manor.
In a beautifully decorated bathroom, Zhao Lingshan lay quietly in the spacious bathtub, enjoying her rare time alone.
The water in the bathtub was of suitable temperature, gently wrapping her body, making her feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.
Holding a glass of red wine in my hand, the deep red wine sways gently in the glass, exuding an enticing aroma.
She took a sip, and the mellow taste and slight astringency of the red wine intertwined in her mouth, bringing an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Her body was looming in the water, her skin was fair and delicate, as if polished even smoother by the water light.
Her long hair stuck to her cheeks, adding a bit of charm.
Her eyes were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her cheeks, making her look particularly peaceful.
The whole bathroom is filled with a lazy and luxurious atmosphere, as if time has stopped at this moment.
"It's been so long, why does it still feel a little swollen? It seems to have grown a lot bigger. Chen Xi, this bad guy, actually dared to use his teeth and bite so hard."
Zhao Lingshan frowned and touched the swollen area.
She didn't know if it was because she was drinking while taking a bath, or because of the influence of the hazy scene that flashed through her mind last time, but Zhao Lingshan only felt an inexplicable force swirling in her head.
Her thoughts began to become chaotic, and her brain seemed to be about to shut down, falling into an indescribable state of confusion.
After a long while, she slowly leaned on the edge of the bathtub, breathing heavily.
The gentle ripples of the water intertwined with her breathing, creating an atmosphere that was both tranquil and full of tension.
Her eyes were half closed and her brows were lightly furrowed, as if she was trying to sort out the forces swirling in her mind.
After returning to Xinlu, Chen Xi's life became extremely regular, shuttling back and forth between his mother's company and home every day.
From time to time, Zhao Lingshan would ask Chen Xi to go out and play. At first, Chen Xi always refused with various reasons, but after the other party visited him several times, he simply chose not to resist.
The work in the graphic shop progressed faster than he had imagined. Kevin's mother, who was such a busy person, actually flew directly to Xinlu to personally provide a series of help.
The location and decoration of the graphic store have been completed. The location is the shop that Chen Caiyue bought before. The location is a place with a lot of people, mostly close to office buildings, pedestrian streets and other places.
February 2007, 2, was New Year’s Eve.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Xi was sitting at his grandmother's house, eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala. Now that his family is divorced, he will spend the New Year at his grandmother's house this year and at his grandparents' house next year. However, he still has to go to the other family on New Year's Day.
"Come back after you finish your studies in Australia. China is developing very fast now and there will be great opportunities in the future. It's much better than staying there." Chen Xi's uncle, Chen Guolin, sat on a chair and spoke to him seriously, while his aunt sat beside him.
They were both civil servants, of high rank. My aunt was quiet and just ate.
"Okay, I got it." Chen Xi nodded.
Because of work, Chen Xi always felt that his uncle and aunt had a strong aura and he was a little afraid to talk to them. When he was a child, Chen Xi was beaten by his uncle for being naughty, and he still remembers it vividly.
"Study hard and work hard. Don't be like your brother. He's not good at his job and he's fiddling with electronic products every day. He can't even find a partner." My uncle complained, but after being glared at by my aunt, he immediately stopped talking about it.
"Uh..." Chen Xi lowered his head and glanced at his cousin. Chen Ran was like nothing had happened, eating and watching TV, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Chen Ran has always been like this, and every time he makes Chen Guolin very angry.
"It's New Year's Day, stop talking about this all the time. All you do is scold the children all day long." Grandma spoke at this time.
Under the double attack from my aunt and grandmother, my uncle had no choice but to give up.
"Hey, one is working in the Internet industry, and the other is going abroad..."
The uncle sighed. Most of the family members were either soldiers or civil servants. They were gone in Chen Xi and Chen Ran’s generation. He felt it was a pity.
Chen Xi shrugged. There was nothing he could do about it. Neither of them was interested in that aspect.
"Five thousand years of wind and rain, how many dreams have been hidden
The yellow face and the black eyes remain a smile
Eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers are like a song
No matter where you come from or where you are going...
"
A classic melody soon began to play on TV - "The Chinese".
This time it was re-interpreted by Pu Su, who gave the song a whole new flavor with his unique voice.
Listening to this familiar melody, Chen Xi's heart was filled with deep emotion.
As a Chinese, I will definitely contribute to my motherland in the future. Even though I am in a foreign country, I will do my best.
Chen Xi didn’t take this kind of thing too seriously before, but after going abroad and seeing a lot of things, his ideas gradually changed.
He had heard people say before that overseas Chinese tend to be more patriotic. Although many of them left their homeland due to financial difficulties, they had not forgotten their Chinese identity and continued to contribute and support others silently overseas.
In his previous life, he often saw keyboard warriors on the Internet who complained about this and that because their lives were not good. He always felt disdain for these people. Although he had a bad life in his previous life, he only thought it was his own problem.
"Come to grandpa's house tomorrow morning, remember to bring a pair of Spring Festival couplets."
"understood."
While watching the Spring Festival Gala, my cell phone rang. The person who sent the text message was naturally my father. He silently replied and then closed the phone.
If his grandparents were not around, Chen's father would not ask him to celebrate the New Year. This was also the case with his father after he remarried in his previous life.
I have to bring the Spring Festival couplets. I’m really impressed.
Chen Xi curled his lips, picked up a pair of Spring Festival couplets from the table at the door and stuffed them into his pocket. These were distributed by the army and he happened to have an extra copy.
"Why, did your damn dad ask you to go tomorrow?"
"Ah."
"Oh, go ahead then. Say hello to your grandparents for me."
"understood."
Chen Caiyue gave her son some advice. Although they were divorced, she had gotten along well with Chen Xi's grandparents before.
When Chen's father remarried, the two of them strongly opposed it.
They and Chen's mother were considered a family before, and the Chen family's prosperity was inseparable from the help of Chen's mother's family.
More or less, they didn't want to let a woman of unknown origin into their home.
It was obvious that Chen's father's new wife was after money. Despite the obstruction of two people, she was still married into the family. The two elders were very unhappy, but as time went by, they gradually changed.
