Yu Xingchen gave all the servants a holiday, except Yu Meilan and Yin Yin, and the family of three spent the ordinary Chinese New Year together.
Yu Xingchen was cooking in the kitchen, and Yu Meilan accompanied Yin Yin to build a snowman in the yard.
In the evening, after she had finished cooking, she came out to ask her grandparents and grandson to come in for dinner, and saw a black car entering the yard next to her.
She recognized this car and had followed her car into the community before.
Yu Xingchen heard from Zhang's mother that while she was in the hospital, no one seemed to be home in the house next door, but the cat ran there several times, played for a while and then came back on its own.
Yu Xingchen looked at the car, curious, so he leaned over and took a look.
A sturdy man got out of the car, hurried to the passenger side and opened the door, and then a young woman got out.
The two were obviously husband and wife, and their movements were intimate. Yu Xingchen finally saw the real person. He was stunned for a moment without turning his eyes. The fat man felt the gaze from elsewhere and turned his head naturally.
When he saw Yu Xingchen, his eyes lit up and he almost blurted out the word "proprietress".
Across the yard, Yu Xingchen said hello first: "Happy New Year, do you live here?"
The fat man replied before his wife could: "That's right, I don't usually live here, so I came here to get some things."
Yu Xingchen thought to himself that it was no wonder that we didn’t bump into each other on weekdays. It turned out that we were just staying temporarily.
Seeing that he had met Yu Xingchen, Fatty was afraid that he would become suspicious when he appeared next to her in the future, so he sighed: "Although this is the south, it is quite cold in winter. We plan to go to a warmer place after the Chinese New Year to clean up."
Order something."
Yu Xingchen agreed: "Indeed, it has been cold for several months."
Both parties nodded and smiled, and the fat man took his wife into the house.
After he found what Chu Shanhai wanted, he came out and saw Yu Xingchen playing with Yin Yin in the yard. He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and record a video, and then sent it to Chu Shanhai.
"Boss, I got the things and will send them to you later."
After a long time, Chu Shanhai sent him a message back.
"My hair is short."
When the fat man saw this message while driving, he grinned. His lover next to him asked him why he was laughing. He said: "Laughing at my boss, how pitiful he is."
Chu Shanhai was sitting on the sofa in his residence in Tingzhou. The apartment was very wide and there were thousands of lights outside, but there was only a little light from the mobile phone screen in the room.
"Mommy, we still need a carrot to make the snowman's nose!"
"But there are no carrots at home."
"Then use mommy's lipstick!"
"Okay, Mommy will go get it!"
The sound in the video is not very clear, after all, it is so far apart.
If it weren't for the many colorful lights hanging in Yu Xingchen's yard, Chu Shanhai wouldn't even be able to see her face clearly.
But that outline, whether he was fat or thin, he could tell with just one glance.
He sent another message to Fatty.
"Don't post it in the future."
He was afraid that he would not be able to help but run to her after seeing it.
When the time comes, a sneak glance will feel like it's not enough and he'll want to hold her hand. If he holds her hand, he'll feel like it's not enough and he'll want to hug her. If he really hugs her, he'll want to kiss her lips again.
People are so greedy.
Stars, happy new year.
While he was still immersed in the darkness and missing him, the cell phone notification sounded in the empty room.
It's Chu Xinghe's video call request.
Chu Shanhai gathered his emotions, stood up, turned on the light, and clicked to answer the call.
"Brother."
"Shanhai, why are you working in vain? There's a power outage?"
"No." Chu Shanhai turned on the light, and the light poured down.
Chu Xinghe was slightly reproachful: "It's true of you that you won't come back during the New Year and won't go to your uncle's place. You're so deserted by yourself."
Chu Shanhai smiled: "I'm busy. I exchanged construction plans with the leaders of the district today, and construction will start soon."
Chu Xinghe sighed: "Then when will you come back? Everyone is waiting for your reunion."
Chu Shanhai: "Don't wait for me. You may have to be busy until the third and fourth days of the Lunar New Year. Take advantage of these days to wait for the materials to come in. I will go back after the new year when the project manager comes back."
Chu Xinghe turned the camera on his phone, and Chu Shanhai saw Chu Yuntian sitting on the sofa. Although he was holding a newspaper in his hand, his eyes were obviously not on it. Instead, he was listening to what was happening on their side with his ears raised.
Chu Xinghe: "You are on duty during the Chinese New Year, and you are really good at making arrangements."
Chu Shanhai: "It's okay to go back anyway."
This scene is like going back to a certain winter vacation, when he was still the obedient cousin who focused on his studies.
No thorns can be seen on the body.
Chu Shanhai looked at Chu Yuntian for two seconds and shouted: "Dad, happy New Year."
Chu Yuntian immediately put down the newspaper, raised his head and took the mobile phone handed over by Xinghe: "You kid, didn't you say that you bought all the tickets, and suddenly you didn't come back."
Chu Shanhai: "Manager Cen, who was assigned to be on duty before, had something happen at home and asked him to go back. I'll be fine if I'm a few days late."
Chu Yuntian: "Lao Ma said that although you are inexperienced, you are quite reliable in handling things. Work hard and produce some results."
Chu Shanhai: “There is still a lot to learn.”
Chu Yuntian: "That's right, man, focus on your career."
Chu Shanhai looked back at the door: "Dad, I'm hanging up. Food is coming from the hotel."
Chu Yuntian still wanted to chat with his son, but he couldn't bear to persuade him to stay, so he could only say a few words and hang up the phone.
Nowadays, Chu Shanhai is so sensible that he is a little at a loss. Lao Ma is a strict person at work, but this month, whenever Chu Shanhai is mentioned, he is praised every time.
Calm, steady, open-minded to ask for advice, serious about work, even when going out to socialize on weekdays, he is very measured.
This was the son he wanted, but when Chu Shanhai really became like this, he felt a little uncomfortable because one day he suddenly realized that his little son seemed to have no joy, anger or joy.
He's like a robot programmed to make no mistakes.
No matter how he slandered his son in front of Yu Xingchen, he knew that Chu Shanhai was very kind to Yu Xingchen.
He has people he protects, but he is struggling because of his own prejudice.
But now that things have become like this, he will not go looking for trouble and tell his son that he will not interfere in his private affairs in the future.
He is a strict father, but he hopes that his children will be happy.
Chu's house is deserted as never before this year.
At the New Year's Eve dinner table, there were only the Chu family father and son and Gu Caiqian.
Gu Caiqian has been back for half a month, and her overseas business has stabilized. After she returns to China, her main job is to assist Chu Xinghe in managing Xinghai.
The atmosphere at the table was not lively. Gu Caiqian observed Chu Yuntian's mood and didn't say a single unnecessary word.
After dinner, she helped the servant clean up the kitchen, picked up her coat and said goodbye to Chu Yuntian.
"Director Chu, I'm going back first."
Chu Yuntian said casually: "It's snowing outside, and you will be alone when you go home. Just stay here and let someone clean up your room."
Gu Caiqian had always been obedient to him, so she hung up her coat again.
Chu Yuntian sat in the hall for a while and then returned to his room. Gu Caiqian went to the room she lived in before, which was on the first floor.
When she was bending over to make the bed, someone hugged her waist vigorously from behind, and then she was forced to turn over and press against the wall.
Before she could scream, her lips were already blocked, and a faint smell of alcohol entered her mouth.
Gu Caiqian struggled for a moment, then reached out and hooked the person's neck, and threw herself in.
The man's actions were rough. Gu Caiqian was bitten on the lips and tongue several times, and her mouth already had the taste of blood like rust. However, the man showed no mercy and was still so fierce that she couldn't breathe.
When she was about to lose oxygen, Gu Caiqian finally pushed him away. She wiped the corners of her lips and said softly: "Chu Xinghe, do others know that you are such a beast in private?"
