Chapter 1242: Chapter 831: The Big Red Envelope (Part 2)

On the other side, at home.

Outside, the sun was blazing hot, while inside, the air conditioner was blowing steadily. The TV was on mute, and the three of them lay on the sofa playing games.

The restaurant was lively, but things were relaxed over here.

The three showed no sense of urgency, acting like carefree managers, which they indeed were.

"By the way, I heard there will be speeches later."

"So annoying."

"I can’t do it either."

"Tsk, you get paid and still aren’t happy?" Jiang Nian turned and chided, "Not saying a few words on stage, is that appropriate?"

"You say it, I have nothing to say." Xu Qianqian said pursing her lips, "With so many people watching, it’s embarrassing."

"Me too..." Song Xiyun said.

"Don’t ’me too’." Jiang Nian was speechless, these two always in sync, "You must say a few words."

"You say."

"You say."

The two women spoke in unison.

Jiang Nian: "...."

No way out, with great power comes great responsibility. Around meal time, he pulled the two girls downstairs.

"Hey, wait!" Xu Qianqian glanced at him, "I need to change clothes, Xiyun, come along."

"Oh oh, okay."

Jiang Nian looked puzzled, "We’re about to leave, change clothes for what?"

"You don’t understand!" Xu Qianqian already pulled Xiao Song into the room, "Something isn’t right."

"What’s wrong?"

"Don’t worry about it."

After a while, the three rode straight to the restaurant.

The distance between the two places wasn’t far, only a few minutes away. The entrance was all bustling with joy.

Firecrackers placed on both sides, who knows how many sounds.

Jiang Nian glanced and decisively led the two girls inside. With heads down, hurriedly passing through three signs.

Written on them were ’XX student has been admitted to XXX, Thank You Teacher Banquet.’

Three signs, all stating Beijing University, an impressive sight, Zhen Nan Station wanted to come.

Didn’t pay, politely declined.

The reason was the kid wanted to stay low-key, it’s just a university. Nothing extraordinary, everyone’s the same.

Just entered the restaurant’s backyard, Jiang Nian was caught.

"Where did you all go?"

"Picked them up." Jiang Nian wasn’t flustered, "Xu Qianqian always dawdling, mom, you should talk to her."

"So typical!" Li Hongmei was speechless, "Behave, don’t blame everything on Qianqian."

"Exactly!"

"No...mom you..."

"Quick, go look." Li Hongmei chased them away, "Xiao Song, go get ready, you’ll go on stage later."

"Me too?"

"Of course!"

The three were almost pushed to the stage, casually said a few words, not much interaction, and came down.

Jiang Nian was alright, settled the two girls after getting off. Sneaked to a table, and signaled Huang Fang.

"Did you take the shots?"

Huang Fang: "..."

She handed Jiang Nian’s phone over, "Got a few shots, recorded a segment, see for yourself."

"Alright, thanks Fangfang."

"Hehe." Huang Fang gave a dead fish eye look, "Next time for such things, just don’t come to me."

"That’s impossible."

Useful things, how could they be used only once? Fangfang was just a bit overly naive then.

Huang Fang: "You...."

The big guy excitedly discovered something new, looked at Jiang Nian with joy, smacked his round palm.

"Boom!"

"Holy crap, you’re such a brute. I knew it, you definitely couldn’t resist, added two more?"

"Stop babbling." Jiang Nian pointed at him.

"Damn!" Ma Guojun was intensely excited, face flushing, "I finally know why you don’t call Li Hua."

"Enough now." Jiang Nian was speechless, "Stop speculating maliciously, Brother Hua is shooting adult films in Yuhang."

Ma Guojun: "???"

"Alright, enough talk, I have to go toast Old Liu now." Jiang Nian finished speaking and dashed away.

...

At noon, Xu Qianqian and Xiao Song were eating the meal reserved for the host’s family, glanced around.

"Where’s he?"

"Sneaked to another table while toasting, finished eating and disappeared."

Xu Qianqian: "....he really dares."

After the meal, the two girls left.

As for cash gifts, managed by the Old Jiang couple. They would separate the families’ portions, give them after.

The two young women were free, leisurely strolled back home.

Jiang Nian was nowhere to be seen.

The three enjoyed peaceful days, only Old Jiang and Li Hongmei carried the burdens, happily yet arduously.

After all, three supreme sons in a family.

While future might be uncertain, at present, what’s the difference if the family added two daughters?

Though the old couple didn’t say it out loud, they were still delighted inside.

In the midst of busyness, Li Hongmei rubbed her head. Turned to look at her husband, somewhat annoyed.

"Did you talk to that rascal last time?"

"I did."

"What did he say?" Li Hongmei was somewhat angry, lowered her voice, "Does he really want to go to jail!"

"No, he said...Marriage is still early." Old Jiang said, "Also said young people don’t like getting married."

With a bang, Li Hongmei almost exploded.

"What does he want!!"

No one knows a son better than his mother, Jiang Nian’s little scheme. Li Hongmei heard it and knew he had no good intentions.

"Shouldn’t have given birth to him, your Jiang family’s genes are all crooked!"

Old Jiang: "???"

On the other side.

Jiang Nian returned from the printing store, printed several photos from his phone, picked an envelope to put them in.

Ready to give the two girls a gift later.

No one dislikes surprises, nor commemorations. Especially on such days, it was just felt troublesome.

Or perhaps embarrassed, so he took the task.

Before sealing, he glanced at the photo. The three stood on stage, closely together.

Wearing white shirts, full of vigor.

Went upstairs, swiftly entered the opposite door.

"Make way!!" Jiang Nian squeezed into the middle of the sofa, "I’m dying of thirst, pour me a glass of water."

"Dream on, get it yourself."

"Xiyun, don’t go."

"Oh." Xiao Song just got up, hearing the words had to sit back down, "Where did you go?"

"Went to get gifts ready." Jiang Nian pulled out the envelope from his pocket, "Here, one each, no fighting."

Xu Qianqian: "..."

Song Xiyun: "....."

This guy is so dull, who would fight over it.

The two girls exchanged a look, then pursed their lips and accepted the envelope. Thinking it was a letter, hearts pounding.

Upon opening, they found it was the photo.

"When was this taken?"

"Found someone to take it." Jiang Nian was slightly proud, Fangfang’s photography skills weren’t bad, learned quickly.

No wonder she’s Emperor Fangfang, a talent among mortals.

"Looks so nice." Song Xiyun was direct, eyes sparkling, stared at the red curtain in the photo.

White shirt, red cloth.

This scene almost looked like a wedding photo of the three. Oh wait...where would be three, only two.

Thinking of this, Song Xiyun couldn’t help but purse her lips.

Two would work, she wasn’t keen on taking them either. Wishing such days would last longer.

More memories, so she wouldn’t feel lonely.

"Lost in it?" Xu Qianqian was beside her, chuckling, "Let’s play games now."

"Oh oh, okay."

The living room returned to calm, at the restaurant side. Old Jiang started rubbing his waist, sighed heavily.

"Having a son is really hard."

"Indeed."

"That guy, who knows what he’s off to, really doesn’t give peace of mind."

...

"Triple kill!!" Jiang Nian sprang up from the sofa, turned to the two girls, "Quick, praise me!"

"Impressive."

"Very strong."

Jiang Nian: "...."

"You two are too perfunctory." He murmured a sentence, put his phone down, and went to the toilet.

In the evening, Xu Qianqian and Song Xiyun were taken to the next door. Counted the cash gift book, then took the money.

"Uncle Jiang, doesn’t need to be this complicated." Xu Qianqian awkwardly said, "We don’t doubt you guys."

"Yes." Song Xiyun nodded.

"This is separate from that." Old Jiang waved his hand, continued letting them count, confirmed correct then stood up.

Next, Li Hongmei also came out from the room.

"Here, take a red envelope."

"Ah?" Xu Qianqian and Song Xiyun were stunned, hurriedly refused, "We can’t accept this."

"Take it, it’s meant to be given."
