Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived-Chapter 525 - 526: Sending Red Envelopes

And Qin Sijue casually picked a spot and sat down, "It’s not that I’m keen."

"Then why are you even here?"

"Grandma invited me!" he emphasized the word "invited."

"Yes, I invited them. What’s the problem? You have something to say?"

Qin Guozhong pursed his lips, "Yes! A big objection!"

"Then go upstairs!"

Qin Guozhong paused, "This is my house, why should I go upstairs?"

"Alright then, let’s leave, and you can spend New Year’s alone at home!"

After speaking, the old lady pulled Gu Qiangwei, smiling very affectionately, "Qiangwei dear, this year let’s go to your cousin and his wife’s place for New Year’s Eve dinner, ah!"

Caught off guard by his wife’s tactic, Qin Guozhong was momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, Qin Feimo and Feng Jinglei also arrived.

The old lady quickly spoke up again, "Ah, Feimo and Jinglei are here too, perfect, we’ll go to your place for New Year’s!"

Feng Jinglei and the newly arrived Qin Feimo were stunned and confused, not understanding what was happening as the old lady pushed them out the door.

Seeing that everyone was about to leave him behind to celebrate elsewhere, Qin Guozhong had no choice but to compromise.

"Madam!"

Zhuang Yanyan halted her steps, turned her head, and glared at him, but said nothing.

Feeling somewhat humiliated, Qin Guozhong grimaced, reluctantly saying, "It’s rare... for everyone to be together, why go out for New Year’s Eve dinner?"

"Didn’t you just say this is your house?"

Faced with his wife’s sarcasm, Qin Guozhong was helpless, "I was wrong, isn’t that enough?"

Hearing this, the old lady smiled, pulling the two daughters-in-law back inside, "That’s more like it!"

Gu Qiangwei looked up to meet Qin Guozhong’s piercing eyes. It was hard to say she was fully accepted, but at least she wasn’t being ostracized like before.

This might be a good start.

Today, the Commander Residence was decorated very festively and joyfully.

Once everyone had gathered, the old lady brought down many red envelopes, handing half to Qin Guozhong and holding the rest in her hand.

"Everyone, come here, the master and madam are handing out red envelopes," the butler Axian called out to all the servants.

In a moment, all eighteen housemaids had arrived, each receiving the red envelope they always received each year.

After distributing red envelopes to the servants, Zhuang Yanyan then turned to Gu Qiangwei and Feng Jinglei.

"Here, this is for the eldest daughter-in-law!" having said that, she handed a large red envelope to Feng Jinglei!

Feng Jinglei smiled brightly, "Thank you, grandma."

"You’re welcome!" the old lady said with a laugh, her favorite thing was handing out red envelopes to the family.

Because this time of the year was her happiest.

"Here, this one is for the younger daughter-in-law!"

The next moment, she turned and handed a large red envelope to Gu Qiangwei.

It was her first visit, and unlike Feng Jinglei, who had married Qin Feimo under the spotlight and became the Qin Family’s young madam, she had gotten secretly registered with Qin Sijue. Although the old lady called her a granddaughter-in-law at every turn, she herself was still unsure if she really counted as a member of the Qin Family.

So she tried to refuse, "Grandma, I really don’t need—"

"Qiangwei, this is a Qin Family tradition every year, or do you think the red envelope from Grandma is too small, so you don’t want to accept?" the old lady asked with a raised eyebrow and a playful smile.

Gu Qiangwei, flattered, quickly said, "No, I didn’t mean that!"

"Then accept it!"

Looking at the red envelope, Gu Qiangwei could only carefully take it, "Thank you, Grandma."
