Chapter 669: More Sisters-in-law, More Love
After the New Year's Eve dinner, grandpa and grandma sat in Xia Donghai's house and watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while, chatting and laughing with the family. At almost nine o'clock, Gu Yu sent the two elders back home.
My grandparents are old and can't stay up late, so they are used to going to bed early and getting up early every day.
When Gu Yu returned to the Impression Community, Xia Xue and Liu Xing had already dragged Xia Donghai and Liu Mei to play Landlord together. The siblings were of one mind and wanted to win some pocket money from their parents.
Not long after Gu Yu sat down, he received several calls and video calls. Needless to say, they were from Wang Manni, Gu Jia, and Jiang Lai.
"Well, see you after the New Year. I miss you too."
Gu Yu hung up the video call with a gentle smile on his face and tenderness in his eyes.
Xia Xue, who was playing Landlord with Xia Donghai and Liu Xing in the living room, pricked up her ears and glanced at Gu Yu who was on the phone from time to time.
Her mouth pouted slightly, and her face clearly showed her unhappiness.
He just started greeting people on the first day of the new year, but he called me on the night of New Year's Eve. The relationship must be special.
Xia Xue heard or felt that the people who called seemed to be women.
Gu Yu just hung up the video call from Jiang Lai. This woman was really abominable. She even wished Xia Donghai and his family a happy new year on the phone, saying that she would definitely go back to Yanjing with Gu Yu next year.
Humph! I don't agree with this! You want to marry Brother Gu Yu, but this is not certain yet!
Xia Xue gnashed her teeth, feeling indignant in her heart.
Xia Donghai and Liu Mei, who were sitting opposite Xia Xue, took in the expression on their daughter's face and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When Gu Yu and Xia Xue came back during the last National Day holiday, Liu Mei noticed something was wrong and realized that Xia Xue's brotherly love for Gu Yu was gradually changing.
Although I said I would just let it go, I was still worried that their relationship would not have a good ending.
Towards Gu Yu, Xia Donghai and Liu Mei did treat him as a junior and their own child, but they did not think he was a good match for Xia Xue.
Being too outstanding and too dazzling is not a good thing for a son-in-law.
During the New Year, I heard from Gu Yu that he was already in a relationship with a rich girl from Shanghai. After seeing her photos, he had a brief video chat with her today. He was very satisfied with Jiang Lai's behavior and appearance.
Xia Donghai and Liu Mei also imagined internal digestion, Gu Yu and Xia Xue were in love, and now they felt a little disappointed, but more relieved and blessed.
But Xia Xue still couldn't accept it. The couple looked at each other and sighed softly. They could only rely on time to slowly heal and dilute the admiration of their girlhood.
While there is only green love and no mosaic plot,
"You've been busy this evening. How come I didn't realize you had so many close female friends before?"
Xia Xue's tone was somewhat yin and yang, her face was slightly cold, and the smell of vinegar could be spread ten miles away. She didn't call him brother anymore.
"We have only known each other for the past few months. Every place has different customs. Some people greet each other and send blessings on New Year's Eve. Besides, don't you know Jiang Lai?"
Gu Yu told the truth that he had only known the girls for a short time, but he knew them all well.
Xia Xue snorted. Even though she was not satisfied with Gu Yu's explanation, at least she felt better. It was better to be deceived than not to be deceived at all.
Just when she wanted to soften her attitude and say a few words to Gu Yu to soften her attitude, the ringing of the phone rang again unexpectedly, which ignited Xia Xue's anger.
She didn't even bother playing poker. She pounced and snatched Gu Yu's phone.
I want to see which sexy girl she is!
"Hmm? Sister Xia Xue? Happy New Year~"
Seeing the familiar pure and sweet face on the screen, Xia Xue was stunned for a second or two.
"It's Jiahe. Why are you calling now? Have you had the New Year's Eve dinner? Is your grandma okay?"
Xia Xue quickly adjusted her facial expression. The jealousy and anger she had felt before had disappeared. She greeted her good sister in a gentle and friendly manner.
"Yes, Lu Yuan cooked the New Year's Eve dinner. He made local dishes and I helped him. I asked him to teach me how to cook these past few days and my cooking skills have improved a lot~!
Grandma is fine, except that she sometimes has memory problems and is a little confused and needs someone to look after her.
Where are my uncle and aunt? I miss them so much. My aunt must have prepared a table full of delicious food.
Peng Jiahe's voice was sweet and her face was full of smiles. She patiently answered the questions without asking Gu Yu or why it was Xia Xue who answered the phone.
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue took her phone and moved closer to Xia Donghai and Liu Mei, pointing the front camera at the two of them.
Xia Donghai and Liu Mei also greeted Peng Jiahe with a smile, asked a few questions out of concern, and were amused by Peng Jiahe's quirky and sweet words.
Liu Xing wanted to go over to see Peng Jiahe and chat with her, but he was a little shy. He stood aside and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He stared blankly at the pretty face on the phone screen, amusing himself with associations, a silly smile on his face, perhaps because he was thinking of the day when he ran under the setting sun, which was Liu Xing's youth that had already passed before he even started.
Xia Xue waited for Peng Jiahe to finish talking to Xia Donghai and Liu Mei, and completely ignored her two younger brothers. She threw the cards in her hand into Gu Yu's hand, and gave him a coquettish look.
Then she took her phone and went into her bedroom. She had a lot of secrets she wanted to discuss with her best friend.
Wang Manni, Gu Jia, Xu Li, Jiang Lai, all called, and the messages were hidden. This little girl shouldn't be able to see anything, and there's a password.
Gu Yu's mind raced, and after checking for leaks and gaps, he found no problems, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
No, she is my sister, why should I be afraid? Wouldn't having more sisters-in-law mean more people to love and care for her? Xiaoxue will definitely understand my sincere feelings.
"Who is the landlord? Whose turn is it?"
Gu Yu immediately got into the game. The base price was 10 yuan, but it doubled to 80 yuan. The winnings and losses were huge.
"Liu Xing, don't be too proud too soon. It's hard to say whether this one will work out. Boom! Four tens!"
"I haven't called the police yet!"
Gu Yu quickly figured out the game and quickly glanced at the landlord's hand. Liu Xing's four fours blew up Xia Donghai's pair of twos. The big and small jokers had not been played yet, and he still had four cards in his hand.
Noticing Gu Yu's eyes, Liu Xing immediately tightened the poker in his hand. Love is not as exciting as a casino.
"Five, six, seven, eight, nine, a straight, eight, Ace, Liu Xing, I only have one left, do you want to blow it? If you don't, you lose."
Gu Yu continued to put pressure on Liu Xing and exchanged glances with Xia Donghai. Liu Xing hesitated, holding the two obvious kings with his fingers.
"Liu Xing, blow it up!" Xiao Yu urged anxiously.
"Ace bomb! A two! I only have one left!"
Liu Xing was quite determined to make a desperate move.
"Liu Xing, I'm sorry,"
Seeing Xia Donghai smiling like Garfield, Liu Xing immediately had a bad feeling.
"Four threes,"
"NO!!!! Dad, you can't do this to me! This is my McDonald's, my KFC!"
Liu Xing held his head in his hands, grief-stricken.
"Each family is 80, very affordable~"
"We won! We won! Give me the money!"
Xia Xue heard the noise and ran out of the room, wanting to grab the fruits of victory.
The family was lively and happy, and the New Year passed quickly.
