Chapter 310 - 310 Happy New Year's Eve

310 Happy New Year’s Eve

Su Ji had never seen Su Meilan before. Today was the first time.

However, the woman looked sophisticated even when she was laughing, and her facial features were flawless, so Su Ji immediately realized who she was.

The next second, Su Ji kicked Pei Huai’s leg.

Why didn’t he tell her earlier that he was video-calling his mother!

Pei Huai hugged her. He endured the pain and raised his eyebrows, “Madam Du is watching.”

Su Ji: “…”

“That’s a good kick, Su Ji,” Madam Du said. “I just said I was going to kick him, and you did it for me!”

Su Ji’s gaze shifted from Pei Huai to Du Meilan. She spoke rather obediently, “nice to meet you, aunty.”

“Nice to meet you,” Du Meilan sighed softly as if talking to herself, “you are so beautiful.”

The woman’s eyes were curved, and she smiled very amiably. However, she actually had an imposing and sharp appearance. If she didn’t smile, she would give off a very oppressive feeling.

However, her strong aura was different from Xu Mingzhi’s.

Xu Mingzhi was more neutral and aggressive. Although she was feared as the boss, she became affectionate.

On the other hand, Du Meilan was gentle with a touch of toughness. She was the daughter of three generations of aristocrats. She was both capable and resourceful.

Even her smile was like a diamond.

This was Pei Huai’s mother. Su Ji felt that she now had a better understanding of Pei Huai.

Su Ji was sitting upright, but she was still on Pei Huai’s lap. It would be too obvious for her to get off at this time.

“Aunty, you’re back?”

“I just arrived today,” Du Meilan replied with a smile, “alright, you guys continue chatting. Su Ji, bring your mother here earlier tomorrow. I think I’ll be able to get along with her.”

“Alright,” Su Ji replied.

A few seconds later, the video call ended.

Su Ji propped herself up on the armrest and was about to get off when Pei Huai held her back and carried her back onto his lap.

“Where are you going?”

Su Ji turned her back to him, “home!”

Pei Huai hugged her tightly from behind, “just a little longer.”

“Are you satisfied with my mother?” He asked again after a while.

His words made Su Ji turn around and look at him, “if not, will you get a new one?”

Pei Huai seemed to really think about it for a few seconds, “it will be a little difficult.”

Su Ji suddenly thought of something and snorted, “how old is your mother? She looks almost the same age as my mom.”

But she had three children who were over 30.

Pei Huai pinched her chin and made her look at him, “she got married early and is exactly ten years older than your mother.”

Su Ji: “???”

She was a little shocked.

“Your dad is lucky,” Su Ji said.

He had found such a beautiful and outstanding wife.

Pei Huai did not answer her question. Instead, he told her a story.

“When Madam Du was born, my grandfather asked the most famous master to a.n.a.lyze her birth characters.”

“The master gave her the name ‘Du Meilan’, and said that she should find a husband with the surname Pei in the future, to have a happy life.”

Su Ji raised her eyebrows, “and she really did. Next time, I’ll ask the master to read my fortune too.”

Pei Huai’s lips curled up slightly, “when I was three years old, Madam Du she took Chief w.a.n.g to destroy the master’s house on the grounds of spreading feudal superst.i.tions.”

Su Ji: “…”

The next day, New Year’s Eve.

Su Ji’s blanket was taken away by Xu Mingzhi and Aunt Wu at six in the morning.

Aunt Wu took all the blankets to be aired.

Su Ji lay on the bed for five minutes before she was woken up by the cold.

After she took a shower and changed her clothes, she went downstairs. Outside the door, Xu Mingzhi was holding a tub of glue and was about to stick the couplet on the door.

Su Ji said that she would help her and climbed up the stairs.

Xu Mingzhi helped her up.

Su Ji sat on the top of the ladder and measured the angle. She was about to stick it on when she saw the words written on the couplet.

She furrowed her brows and said, “mom, you took the wrong one. This is mine.”

Xu Mingzhi smiled, “no, I thought about it and decided that this one is better!”

Su Ji smiled. With a “pa” sound, she stuck it in the middle of the door.

The more Xu Mingzhi looked at it, the more she liked it. She couldn’t help but sigh, “baby, modern people really know how to celebrate the New Year. They set off fireworks, and their families are far away, but they can still video call each other. It’s not like our time. The longer you live, the more you see!”

Su Ji smiled and came down from the ladder. The phone in her pocket vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was from Su Cunyi, but she didn’t want to pick it up.

Xu Mingzhi did not let her put her phone back, “why aren’t you picking up? After all, he’s your father. You should wish him Happy New Year…”

She took a deep breath, “and get a red packet from him!”

A second later, Su Ji answered.

He could hear Su Qianrou and her brother’s chirping and Zhang Guihua’s laughter on the other end of the phone. Su Cunyi found a quiet place to answer the call and went straight to the point, “I transferred some money to your card.”

Su Ji: “Thank…”

Before she could finish, Su Cunyi said, “don’t reject it!”

Su Ji: “…”

“This is your red packet. You can use it to buy a small car or house,” Su Cunyi paused for a second and covered his phone with his hand. “I’m making up for what I didn’t give you before.”

Su Ji did not respond to him. She looked at Xu Mingzhi and said to him before hanging up, “Happy New Year.”

Su Cunyi smiled, “Happy New Year.”

After cleaning up, Xu Mingzhi gave Aunt Wu and w.a.n.g Zhicheng two days off, gave them bonuses, and asked them to come back on the second day of the new year.

At noon, Xu Mingzhi made noodles for them. The mother and daughter ate together, and it was a heartwarming meal.

“There are too many seasonings invented by modern people. The taste of mom’s cooking has changed, right?”

Su Ji did not know how to answer, mainly because she could not remember. The last time Madam Xu cooked was thousands of years ago.

As soon as they finished eating, Pei Huai called, saying that he had already arrived at the Pei family’s house and asked them to come over at any time.

Su Ji hung up and said, “mom, Pei Huai says we can go over at any time.”

Xu Mingzhi put the dishes into the dishwasher and turned to look at the time, “it’s only noon. Aren’t we meeting in the evening?”

Su Ji said, “then let’s enjoy some time together first?”

Xu Mingzhi liked her suggestion, “sure, this sounds more interesting.”

Su Ji turned on the TV and asked Xu Mingzhi which channel she wanted to watch.

However, an hour later…

The television was on, and their phones were constantly beeping as New Year wishes kept coming in.

Su Ji and Xu Mingzhi had fallen asleep on the sofa.

After another half an hour, Su Ji and Xu Mingzhi’s heads touched, and they woke up together.

Both w.a.n.g Zhicheng and Aunt Wu were not in the house. The house was too quiet, and they were not chatty, so they fell asleep accidentally.

Xu Mingzhi squinted at the time, “it’s a waste to sleep on New Year’s eve.”

Su Ji yawned lazily, “why don’t we go to the Pei family?”

Xu Mingzhi said, “let’s go!”
