Chapter 1124: New Year’s Eve

Madam Chai had already been sentenced to death, but that person was still so anxious to take her life. How could one not be afraid?

Furthermore, Madam Chai was the one who had children with that person. Even though they were not husband and wife, they had lived together for such a long time.

That person could make a move just like that.

Lu Xingzhi filled a bowl of rice for Jiang Yao and said, “If his son threatens his future and life, maybe he will even send his son to hell.”

“It’s too scary.” That cold-blooded person was even more terrifying and pathetic than Old Master Chen, who would always put his family first.

“He was afraid that Madam Chai would ruin him and his son. His son was sent out of the country the day after Madam Chai’s accident,” Lu Xingzhi said.

“What about you?” Jiang Yao paused and then asked, “What are you going to do?”

Lu Xingzhi shook his head and then urged Jiang Yao to eat. “Don’t put other people’s affairs in your heart and make it difficult for yourself.”

Judging from Lu Xingzhi’s attitude, Jiang Yao could not tell if Lu Xingzhi would listen to the story or if it were fake.

Even if it were fake, Lu Xingzhi would never tell her, so it was useless for her to ask about it.

Lu Xingzhi did not want her to see his overly rough and bloody side, so Jiang Yao tactfully did not press him.

Lu Xingzhi wanted to accompany Jiang Yao to Jin City, so he took a half-day off. He would be the mobile porter in case Jiang Yao bought a lot of things.

She did not buy much because Lu Xingzhi would be transferred to another unit soon, but he ate a lot.

Jiang Yao had thought that she had managed to reject Lu Xingzhi’s request for her to go on stage. She did not expect Lu Xingzhi to trick her like that. No matter how much she refused, the two female soldiers from the Arts and Crafts Regimen still found her in the end. She could not even push them away. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Yang were also on stage with the choir, so there was still someone to accompany her when she was sad.

Jiang Yao only rehearsed for two and a half days, but she cursed Lu Xingzhi in her heart. In the blink of an eye, it was already New Year’s Eve. The military did not allow firecrackers. Even though there were no fireworks, it did not mean that there was no New Year. It was early in the morning, and everyone was in a festive mood in the family building. Every household was changing couplets and hanging more lanterns.

During the day, Lu Xingzhi’s job was to help others write couplets at home. Jiang Yao was to receive their guests. However, when she chatted with the visitors, most of her attention was still on Lu Xingzhi. She looked at how he lowered his head to write the couplets and the majestic manner in which he waved his pen and ink; Jiang Yao felt a little excited.

Her man looked so handsome when he wrote the couplets!

Lu Xingzhi was the one who took care of the dinner on New Year’s Eve. Jiang Yao only ordered the dishes and then commanded at the side. If it were any other person with a bad temper, they would have been angry. However, Lu Xingzhi continued to smile; he did not feel annoyed or scared at all.

His fifth brother was right; Lu Xingzhi had spent all his patience and tolerance on Jiang Yao.

After Jiang Yao had spent enough time in the kitchen, she hopped out of the kitchen. As she waited for the meal to be ready, she called her roommates to wish them a Happy New Year. Even Zhou Xiaoxia, who was in Yuan City, had called her.

That New Year was especially interesting for Jiang Yao, but it was a dull one for the Zhou family. The Zhou family had one less person at their New Year’s Eve dinner compared to last year.

When she received the call from Jiang Yao, Zhou Xiaoxia was staring at the empty seat in the house. Her mood lifted when she got the call. “I had planned to call you at midnight to wish you a Happy New Year. I did not expect you to call me so early. Happy New Year, Jiang Yao.”

That blessing contained countless sincerity and gratitude for Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao did not try to persuade Zhou Xiaoxia to return to Nanjiang City. However, when she thought about her studies, she slapped her head in frustration. “Oh, right! Xiaoxia, if you don’t want to leave Yuan City, you shouldn’t give up on your studies either!”
