Father Lin glanced at the table and said nothing.

His brother-in-law sat solemnly at the head, while his eldest nephew, Li Yugeng, sat beside him with a cold expression.

The person sitting next to Li YuGeng was his son, Lin Mubai. However, this boy only spoke to his cousin and didn't even look at Li Yuyi.

Let him say it, he could decide on the matter of the child himself, but if his wife refused to do so, he had to marry Li Yeyi.

His niece was not bad as well. She had been raised from a young age, knew her limits, and was very fond of her wife. To be honest, he truly treated Li Yiyi as his own daughter and hoped that she would stay at home for the rest of her life.

But unfortunately, her son didn't have any feelings for her.

Sigh!

Father Lin lowered his head to eat his meal, only to feel his thigh being pinched under the table. When he looked up, his wife was glaring at him, pouting at him.

It looked like the meal had ended unhappily.

Helpless to his wife's obscene authority, he put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat and asked, "Yogg, I haven't been to school for a long time. How have you been feeling recently? Can you keep up? "

Bai Zhen Zhen was so angry that his nose was crooked, while his high heels were trampling on her husband's feet.

Ask him to ask his own son, ask the sullen nephew what he's doing.

"It's pretty good."

"Oh, then do you have a girlfriend?"

After he finished speaking, Father Lin probably felt that his words were a little rude, so he quickly added, "I heard that when you went to the countryside, you had two female classmates. It's hard to avoid having some good feelings towards you."

Bai Zhen's words implied that she was not going to step on him anymore.

"Besides, university is not just about studying books, it is also about learning other things, and dating is one of them. At the same age as a flower, you should experience some hardships. "

Li YuGeng put down his chopsticks and said without changing his expression, "I'm full, continue."

He stood up and left.

Mr Lin was not embarrassed at all and laughed heartily. "This kid is so shy."

How could she be shy? She was clearly too lazy to pay attention to him.

He didn't know why a superior like him had such a humorous temper and didn't have the slightest bit of authority to speak. It was no wonder that he couldn't control his son.

"Mu Bai." He had just opened his mouth when Lin Mubai put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm also full. I'm going to find Yu Geng and play chess."

With that, he slipped away like a wisp of smoke.

"Come back here!" Bai Zhen was so infuriated that he almost died. He looked at the most dignified man in the family and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't have to bother with your nephew either!"

"Forget it." Father Li said, "It's a rare New Year's Eve meal. Let the children have some freedom."

"Humph!" Bai Zhen Zhen said angrily, "It's all because of you guys that you raised such disobedient children."

Tears welled in Li Yiyi's eyes as he stood up and said in a low voice, "I'm done eating too, father, aunt and uncle, you guys eat slowly."

Speak, and run away.

Bai Zhen's heart ached. Looking at Li Yiyi's retreating back, he stomped his feet and said, "Brother-in-law, how can you let your nephew bully your daughter like this?"

"Chastity." Li's father felt a headache coming on for his sister-in-law who was as stubborn as his wife. "The children have grown up and have their own thoughts. It's not sweet if you force yourself, so why must you be so stubborn?"

"These two children grew up together. I'm not willing to let Yi Yi marry someone else and suffer." Bai Zhen Zhen looked at him with a profound look. "Men nowadays look good on the surface, but who knows what their families look like? "If there's another evil grandma, and the husband is busy with work, wouldn't he be washing his face with tears every day?"

Father Li's expression immediately changed.

When his wife was married, the two of them were in the same boat. However, due to the conflict with his mother and his busy work, she suffered from postpartum depression and was gone within a few years.

This was something he had been ashamed of for his entire life. Therefore, when his wife left, Bai Zhen Zhen would carry the two children away. He had nothing else to say.

If it wasn't for his son automatically staying, he would probably still be lonely until the age is over.

"Chastity!" Father Lin panicked and thought to himself, "Why don't you bring up that pot instead?"

The death of his sister-in-law was his brother-in-law's greatest pain. It was only because he had been in a high position all these years and still hadn't remarried that he knew how much he loved his wife.

Besides, if that wasn't the case, how could he tolerate Bai Zhen's provocations again and again? It's all about love.

"There are some things that brother-in-law might have forgotten if I hadn't said it out loud." "My sister has suffered only once," she said. "Yyi might not have been born by her, but she saw how much she liked that little face back then. Brother-in-law, if you truly wanted to treat my sister, you should have persuaded Mu Bai to marry Yyi, so that your elder sister would be at ease in the underworld."

Li Jun's father's fist rumbled before it finally turned into a sigh. "Alright, I'll try."

Bai Zhen Zhen Zhen revealed a victorious smile.

His son adored his uncle the most, and now that no one in the family was on his side, he was determined to succeed.

As for Lin Mubai and Li YuGeng on the second floor, they were still looking at the black and white chess board, not knowing anything.

"You lost."

Seeing the clear situation on the chess board, Lin Mubai chuckled, "Yes, I'm familiar with it."

He leaned back and found a comfortable position for himself. "After a few years, your chess skills have increased."

"It's your heart that's in turmoil." Li Yugeng remained impassive. "If you're distracted, then the decision you made is also a mistake."

Lin Mubai's heart was moved.

A while ago, when Cao Xiaolian said she was going to withdraw her funds, Shang Yin had gone with her to keep an eye on this matter. The house sold out as soon as it opened. Shang Yin took away a portion of the money and said he would wait until the later stage of the building before taking it.

She had taken a large portion of the money, and besides making it difficult for him to get any more, it was also making him upset.

He had not expected that Cao Xiaolian would be so ruthless. She would withdraw her money as soon as she said it. There was no turning back.

At first, he had placed all his hopes on the line. He felt that it was fine for others to not understand. After all, Cao Xiaolian had not reached that height yet, so he was unable to keep up with her. But with the withdrawal of money, he felt that the other party had never taken him seriously, right?

These days, things were getting more and more intense, but unfortunately, things were already getting out of hand and he couldn't bring himself to go and make a phone call.

"Yogg, you're still the same." Lin Mubai looked at his cousin who had a calm expression and quietly tidied up his chess piece. He was sincerely envious as he said, "I really want to shake off those mess and go back to school. Be careful."

Li Yugeng did not even raise his head and was too lazy to respond to him.

"Tell me, how about I go to Tsinghua University to study for a postgraduate student?" Lin Mubai suddenly had a strange thought, "At that time, we'll still be alumni."

"Not much." Li YuGeng calmly asked, "Can you let go of those businesses outside?"

He was very clear what sort of person Lin Mubai was. Asking him to give up his ambitions and return to school was simply a pipe dream.

"It's just a joke." He smirked. "Why are you being so serious?"

Li Yugeng laid out the chess pieces, stood up, and went to his desk to pick up a book to read.

"Oh, right. When I returned, Ji Qingyun came to find me."

He looked at his cousin's back. "It can't be that you don't remember her, right?"

"Why should I remember her? I know him? "

"Good heavens!" Lin Mubai cried out in alarm as he looked at him in disbelief, "This lady has been working in the countryside with you for such a long time, yet you still say that you don't know her?" I don't think there's anything wrong with your eyes right now, but your brain. "

Li YuGeng thought for a moment. "Yes, there are two girls, but I don't know their names."

"I can't remember after being together for so long." Lin Mubai laughed as he teased, "I think you're going to be a monk for the rest of your life. If not, which girl would like a silly goose like you?"

No?

A clear face appeared in Li YuGeng's mind.

She had never expressed a liking for herself, even at first with hostility. He didn't know why, but he felt extremely relaxed in front of her, and he felt like he had a blabbermouth.

However, this was a secret memory that belonged to the two of them, there was no need to tell anyone else.

Li Yugeng thought that he should make a phone call later to pay his respects to the new year.

"Sigh!" Lin Mubai felt that he wouldn't be able to stay with this silly cousin of his. Sooner or later, he would suffocate and find an excuse to stand up and leave.

After he left, Li Yugeng opened the drawer in front of him.

A long and familiar phone number appeared on a small slip of paper.

Since Shang Yin gave it to her, she hadn't made a single call.

Li Yugeng sat for another two hours and finished writing a very complicated math problem seriously. He then read a few pages of economics. He reckoned that everyone had left and his father had gone to sleep. He then stood up and walked downstairs, dialing the number that he was familiar with.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, so Mother Cao went to bed early.

Since the illness, the doctor said not to tire, so after watching the two-stage television series, he went into the room.

Cao Xiaolian, on the other hand, had something on her mind, so she sat on the sofa for a while.

Just as he was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.

"Hello." This number was newly installed at home. The ones who knew the number were Chen Lifen, Shang Yin and Cao Xiaoxia, so she was a little excited.

"Sis!"

"Dawn!" Cao Xiaoling finally got a call from her sister. She was overjoyed. "Can I get you to call back today?"

"That's right, it's the new year today. Our captain said to give everyone a call."

"Just call earlier. Mommy just went to sleep."

Cao Xiaoxia was a little disappointed, "Ah, Mom is asleep. We have to call in order. This is the time for me."

Upon hearing her sister's vexation, Cao Xiaolian quickly comforted her, "It's fine. I'll tell her tomorrow morning. It's the same."

"Mm, that's the only way."

"Xiao Xia, how have you been recently? How was it at school? Did you get along well with your classmates? "

At the mention of this, Cao Xiaoxia swept through her previous slump and said excitedly, "Sis, you don't know how amazing the Shanghai Dance Academy is. Most of our classmates were born in the same subject. "Our teacher, even though he's a male teacher, he came back from abroad to study. He's really awesome!"

Hearing her sister's words, Cao Xiaolian laughed, "Yo, you can't keep up with her. You're not crying are you?"

"I'm not. I'm not a child." Cao Xiaoxia was very proud, "Sis, I only found out after coming here that my students are all children. Our leader is right, I am just taking advantage of the situation. I must study hard or else I will let myself down."

Seeing that her sister was full of fighting spirit, Cao Xiaolian was also very happy, but she still warned, "Don't be too anxious, take it step by step, especially with dance. Don't overexert yourself, or Mom and I will be worried if we get hurt, okay?"
