C2663 Red, Red, Red!
Jiang Ci's eyes darkened slightly as he said in a deep voice, "It's good to be alone."
Huo Fei moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he stopped himself. In the end, he sighed helplessly.
The two of them left the Dream Time. Huo Fei said, "I'm going home now. I still have to tell my parents about Yan'er."
"Yes." Jiang Ci replied and returned to his car.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang called. Jiang Ci looked at her phone and did not want to pick it up, but in the end, he still picked it up. "Mom."
"Son, come home for dinner tonight."
"I still have something to do, so I'm not going back."
"If you have something to do, you should eat first. After dinner, you can go and do it. We will wait for you. Come back quickly."
"I really don't have time."
"How can you not have time to eat? Stop lying to me. I don't care. You have to come back tonight."
After a few seconds, Jiang Ci said, "I have to go and do something. I'll hang up first."
"You …"
Before Mrs. Jiang could finish her words, Jiang Ci hung up the phone.
Not long after, his phone rang again. He looked out of the window quietly and ignored it.
After a while, he picked up his phone and called the old mansion's butler.
"Is there anyone coming to my house tonight?"
"Uh …" The butler stammered, "No, Young Master, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ci's voice became colder. "Tell me the truth."
His mother suddenly called him home, and her attitude was still so firm.
"Young Master, please come back. There will be a surprise."
"What surprise?" Jiang Ci asked.
"Young Master, you should come back yourself. Besides, you haven't come back for a long time. The old master and the madam have missed you."
"Tell me, what is it?"
"This… The madam doesn't want to tell you in advance." The old butler said awkwardly.
"You… Do you want to retire?" Jiang Ci threatened.
The butler did not dare to hide it anymore and immediately said, "Actually… It is… The madam brought a girl back. Young Master, that girl is very beautiful and has a good personality. You will definitely like her."
Jiang Ci hung up the phone.
Sure enough, he knew that his mother would not force him to come home for a meal for no reason.
Chu Feng and Chu Xi stayed in the treehouse for a week before returning home before New Year's Eve.
The atmosphere in the house was very festive. Aunt Zhou brought the servants and decorated the villa to be very festive. They pasted couplets, hung red lanterns, and placed red plum blossoms. It was quite a match for the hot spring villa.
Chu Xi looked at the red and bustling courtyard and asked with a smile, "Aunt Zhou, did you decorate this?"
Aunt Zhou said, "I just thought that the atmosphere of the new year should be festive, so I made it like this on my own. Miss Xi, do you like it? Do you think it's too vulgar? If you don't like it, I can remove it."
"No need. It's good to be like this. It's not bad and very festive."
"As long as you like it. It's like this in our hometown during the New Year. We stick up couplets, hang red lanterns, and decorate with red decorations. I think that the red plum and the red lanterns are very beautiful, so I placed some of them."
Chu Xi said, "It's beautiful. I like it. This is how the New Year should be. By the way, Aunt Zhou, aren't you going back to your hometown?"
"Yes, I'm not going back. This year, my son and daughter-in-law are going back to my mother's house to celebrate the New Year. My daughter-in-law is the only daughter and hasn't accompanied my parents for years. So I asked them to accompany my relatives this year. It's not fun to stay alone. It's better to stay and serve you and Miss."
Chu Xi smiled and said, "That's good too. Then let's celebrate the New Year together this year."
Aunt Zhou was an open-minded person. She smiled happily and said, "Okay."
At the same time.
Shen Ruyu was alone in the clubhouse office. She stood in front of the French window with a glass of red wine in her hand. She looked out at the lights outside the window, and there was a trace of loneliness in the depths of her eyes.
At this moment, a subordinate walked in and asked in a low voice, "Sister Yu, my brothers are all playing downstairs. Do you want to go down and join in the fun?"
Shen Ruyu said lightly, "You guys play first. I'll go down in a moment."
"Are you... in a bad mood?"
"No." After pausing for a moment, Shen Ruyu continued, "Have you investigated the matter of Sun still? Who was the person who attacked her?"
"I've already investigated. I came here to tell you about this. The person who attacked Sun still is from the E royal family. The exact reason is related to Miss Chu Xi. The youngest daughter of the E country's prince was poisoned. It was Mr. Bai and Miss Chu Xi who helped her detoxify. The person who poisoned her should be the prince's opponent."
"I wonder how Sun still got to know those people. He called them to kidnap Miss Chu Xi's friend. Fortunately, Miss Chu Xi was fine. After that, the people from the Thousand Evil Alliance and the prince arrived. Sun still was dealt with at that time."
The man looked at the wine in her hand and said, "It's boring to drink alone. Let's go down together. Oh right, Third Brother also found a few artists to perform for you."
After a few seconds, Shen Ruyu put down the wine glass in her hand and turned around. "Let's go down and drink with everyone."
"Please."
