    Xu Jiacheng ran to the door, just in time to bump into Xu Jiayuan who brought Shen Fan to the door.

    "Sister, brother-in-law." Xu Jiacheng said, politely, "Happy New Year."

    "Happy New Year." Xu Jiayuan responded with a smile. Although she didn't like her second uncle and aunt, she didn't have much ill feeling towards this cousin.

    Shen Fan beside her took out the red envelope prepared in advance and handed it to Xu Jiacheng, "Happy New Year, academic progress, wish come true."

    "Thank you, brother-in-law." Xu Jiacheng happily accepted it, reciprocated, found slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance and handed them to the two, and reported to the living room, "Grandpa, my sister and brother-in-law are here."

    Xu Jianian heard Mr. Xu snorted coldly, and said eccentrically, "It's quite early."

    "Grandpa." He supported the old man's knee and said coquettishly, "It's the New Year's Eve."

    Mr. Xu curled the corner of his lower lip and put away his cold face, but he still had no friendly expression.

    Xu Jiayuan had long expected that the old man would not have a good face, so she deliberately waited until the meal time to come, and planned to leave after the meal.

    So I just pretended not to hear Mr. Xu's criticism just now, and approached with Shen Fan, "Grandpa, happy new year."

    Shen Fan, who was carrying the gift, was already mentally prepared, his face remained unchanged, and he bowed humbly: "Hi, old man, I am Yuanyuan's fiancé, Shen Fan. A small gift, I wish you good luck and good health in the new year."

    At Xu Jiayuan's engagement banquet back then, Mr. Xu put on a show, and his heart was really uncomfortable in those few days, so he didn't attend, and today was the first time seeing Shen Fan in person.

    He looked at the young man critically, he was gentle, but he had a good appearance, no wonder he liked his granddaughter.

    According to his investigation, although this kid is motivated and has been rated as the deputy chief physician at a young age, his background is still not good enough.If his background is similar to that of Lin He, it is not impossible to hand over the company to Yuanyuan in the future.

    I'm afraid that this kid is a phoenix man, a white-eyed wolf, who has no plans for Yuanyuan...

    "Grandpa." Xu Jianian was tired and reminded him again, and couldn't help but think: People will become so self-willed when they get old, do they like to flirt?

    "Well, sit down." Old Master Xu said flatly, he withdrew his gaze from looking at Shen Fan, and looked at Father Xu, "Give Xiao Shen the meeting gift and New Year's money I prepared."

    Shen Fan did not show any dissatisfaction because of his indifference, he politely greeted Xu's father, Xu's mother and others, and said auspicious words.

    When Mr. Xu looked at it, he felt even more scheming.

    "Mister, it's time for dinner," said the nanny.

    Everyone moved to the dining table, and there was red wine on the table. The old man was not in good health and couldn't drink it, but he winked at Father Xu, Uncle Xu and Xu Jianian.

    Father Xu knew what the old man was thinking and pretended not to see it.Xu Jianian didn't understand, and blinked innocently at Mr. Xu.

    Second Uncle Xu has no other skills, but he is very good at observing words and demeanor and making the old man happy. He immediately raised his glass to Shen Fan and said, "Come on, it's the first time for Xiao Shen to come to the door. Uncle toasts you and welcomes you."

    Shen Fan immediately raised his glass and stood up: "Don't dare, I should be the one who respects uncle."

    Seeing the second uncle's words to tell Shen Fan to clean up all the red wine in the glass, Xu Jianian finally realized that Mr. Xu just asked him to pour wine for Shen Fan?

    "..."

    He turned his head to look at Lin He, he never encountered such a situation when he brought Lin He home.

    At that time, Mr. Xu and Second Uncle were very affectionate to Lin He, but Lin He only took a sip, and they definitely didn't dare to ask Lin He to toast.

    Now it's really... watching people order dishes.

    Xu Jianian frowned slightly, he didn't like Mr. Xu's behavior style very much, it was not at all like his grandfather.

    Although his grandfather left when he was in junior high school, in his impression, although the other party was strict, he never looked at people and treated them differently.

    "Hey, there are Jiayuan and her two younger brothers." Second Uncle Xu said.

    As the future son-in-law, Shen Fan came to the door for the first time, and he had already paid respects to all the elders, starting with Mr. Xu.

    When it was his peer's turn, Xu Jianian kicked Xu Jiacheng who was sitting opposite him, pulled Lin He up, raised his glass and said, "Let's go together, brother-in-law, you don't need to drink so much."

    Otherwise, the second uncle will ask him to respect each other again, and don't know how long he will drink.

    Lin He clinked glasses with Shen Fan: "Everything you want will come true, and you will be promoted step by step."

    Xu Jiacheng was already impatient to deal with it, so he clinked his glasses and said a few auspicious words, and took a sip of the wine, which was regarded as a toast.

    Seeing this, Second Uncle Xu pulled Shen Fan to continue drinking, chatting while drinking, and found an excuse to have a toast with him when he said something.He also praised Xu Jiayuan fiercely, and guided Shen Fan to express his heartfelt heart on the spot, promising to take good care of Xu Jiayuan for the rest of his life.

    Xu Jiayuan was a little worried about Shen Fan, but she followed what she said before she came here and did not intervene.

    From a certain point of view, she and Shen Fan would also like to thank Second Uncle, if it weren't for his active atmosphere, the meal might have been a standstill and there would be no excitement.

    Because Xu's father and Xu's mother didn't like the same thing on the wine table, every time Shen Fan came to the door, it was a normal routine, and there was no need to deliberately flatter and curry favor with them.

    Shen Fan happened to not be that smooth and sophisticated character, so he got along well with their family.

    When it comes to the old house, it doesn't work, Mr. Xu has a prejudice against Shen Fan, if Shen Fan doesn't take the initiative to please, the old man may lose face.

    With Second Uncle Xu leading the way in the middle, it would not be so embarrassing.

    However, when Second Uncle Xu persuaded Shen Fan to drink for the nth time, Xu Jiayuan held down Shen Fan's wine glass and said to Aunt Xu, "Auntie, Uncle seems to have drunk too much."

    It was only then that Mr. Xu realized that after drinking for three rounds, Shen Fan, who seemed gentle and gentle, only had a slight blush on his cheeks, but his son was already dazed from drinking, and his hand toast was shaking.

    "..."

    shame!

    The corners of Mr. Xu's lips twitched, and he called the nanny: "Take down the wine, and cook two bowls of hangover soup."

    The nanny quickly took away the cup from Uncle Xu's hand: "Okay."

    Xu's father said slowly: "Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, have a drink and enjoy it, not too much."

    Uncle Xu opened his lips to say something, but his mind turned slowly, and he didn't say it for a long time.

    Second Aunt Xu: "..."

    She gave her husband an angry look: look at what you did!Thankless!

    After the meal, Mr. Xu took the initiative to chat with Shen Fan, and asked about half of what Second Uncle Xu had inquired about just now, and learned about Shen Fan's family and growth environment.

    It's just that he has been in a high position for a long time, and his tone is always a bit arrogant, asking Shen Fan where he bought his house, how much flat, what brand of car, and how much deposit he has.

    Shen Fan answered one by one in a good voice, and Xu Jiayuan wanted to speak several times, but he grabbed his hand and held it down.

    "Dad—" Father Xu interrupted Mr. Xu, and brought him a cup of tea, "Take a rest."

    Xu Jianian took the opportunity to say: "Sister, aren't you and brother-in-law going to the movies?"

    "Yes." Xu Jiayuan pulled Shen Fan up, "Grandpa, we've already bought tickets, so we're leaving first."

    Mr. Xu glanced at Xu Jianian, nodded, and said, "Go, come back for dinner tonight."

    Xu Jiayuan said: "No grandpa, let's go to Shen Fan's house tonight."

    Xu's father and Xu's mother nodded: "Yes, we have an appointment with my in-laws tonight."

    Mr. Xu frowned, and looked at Xu Jianian: "Let's stay with the Niannian family."

    Xu Jianian smiled at him with bent eyes: "I'm sorry, Grandpa, we're going back to Lin's old house in the afternoon, and Sui Sui hasn't gone there yet to pay New Year's greetings."

    Mr. Xu: "..."

    Uncle Xu was still drunk at the moment, and said with his tongue out, "It's okay, Dad, I'll stay with you here."

    Seeing this, Xu Jiacheng immediately got up and ran out: "I also have an appointment, sister, wait, give me a ride!"

    "..."

    Mr. Xu exhaled heavily through his nasal cavity, his face darkened.

    Xu Jianian suddenly felt that at his age, it was quite miserable to make himself an old man who was hated by others.

    "Grandpa." He stepped forward and put his arm around Old Master Xu, "I'll accompany you upstairs for a nap."

    Mr. Xu was silent for a moment, then got up on crutches.

    Xu Jianian helped him to the elevator, turned to Lin He and said, "Take Suisui to my room for a rest."

    "Okay." Lin He had been here before, and led Suisui directly upstairs.

    Second Aunt Xu patted Second Uncle Xu and motioned him to follow.The old man loves Xu Jianian the most, so he might confess some whispers.

    Second Uncle Xu was staring in a daze when she suddenly woke him up, rubbed his face, got up and said, "I'll go up to sleep too."

    Second Aunt Xu: "..."

    sleep sleep!With your brains, you still want to fight for family property?

    Wash and sleep!

    Why is her life so hard, with such a mindless husband and such a mindless son?

    Forget it, with such a husband and son at the stall, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on to the family property, so it's better to leave it to Xu Jiayuan to manage it, and earn dividends honestly in the future.

    She raised her hand to brush her hair, picked up her bag, and decided to invite her little sister to play mahjong and have afternoon tea.

    Xu Jiayuan took Xu Jiacheng to the subway entrance, and the latter slipped away by himself.

    Afterwards, Xu Jiayuan found a parking space on the side of the road to park, and said to Shen Fan who was rubbing his forehead in the passenger seat, "I'm sorry, don't take my grandfather's attitude to heart."

    Shen Fan exhaled, held her hand, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, if a knight wants to marry a princess back home, he has to pay a little price."

    Xu Jiayuan was silent for a moment, then looked at him: "Then will you regret it? If you don't choose me, you can obviously not suffer from these grievances."

    "Then will you regret it?" Shen Fan asked her back, "If you don't choose me, you can obviously marry the prince."

    Xu Jiayuan shook her head: "Without you, I would probably choose to be single, or find a partner to marry without talking about relationships."

    Shen Fan nodded: "That's right, the prince and the princess are mostly together because of the alliance of interests, and the love will not last too long. Because—"

    "The prince will not tolerate the princess' temper, and the princess will not accommodate the prince's arrogance."

    Xu Jiayuan glanced at him: "Am I out of temper?"

    Shen Fan laughed, grabbed her hand and kissed her, "So I am so lucky to meet a girl who is smart, beautiful, good-tempered, and loves me."

    He looked at Xu Jiayuan with serious and gentle eyes, "So, even if I find out later that she is actually a princess, I still want to work hard to marry her back home."

    When he was first attracted to Xu Jiayuan, he didn't know what kind of family background she had, and he pursued her with enthusiasm like a stunned young man.

    After being together, he slowly heard some criticisms, and then he realized how lucky he was to be favored by her.

    From that day on, the ordinary man determined to make a fortune in a certain field, become a new king, and be worthy of his beloved princess.

    Only those who are incompetent will complain about their origins, afraid of being ridiculed and compared.Really strong people will choose to stick to their original aspirations, work hard to break down barriers, and run towards what they love.

    Xu Jiayuan's eyes were slightly hot, but she said awkwardly: "What kind of princess is not a princess, it's so disgusting."

    But when she raised her eyes to meet Shen Fan's smiling eyes, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, looking at him and smiling.

    On the third floor of the old house, Mr. Xu has bad legs and feet because he is old. A few years ago, he opened up a small room next to the bedroom and installed an elevator.

    Xu Jianian helped the old man out of the elevator and returned to the bedroom.

    He helped the old man take off his clothes and lie down, and put the thermos brought by the nanny on his bedside.

    "Niannian." Mr. Xu grabbed his hand, "After the Lantern Festival, you can join the group to work."

    Xu Jianian paused, and said, "Not for a while, I'm designing a wedding dress for my sister."

    Mr. Xu was slightly stunned, looking at him with complicated eyes.

    "You and your sister have a good relationship, and grandpa knows it." Mr. Xu said, "Because of this, you should think more about your sister."

    "She is married, and she will definitely be stumbling by her family in the future. Take it with you now, so that you can get started."

    Xu Jianian shook his head: "I can only design clothes, not manage a company."

    "Nonsense." Mr. Xu said, "You went to work for your sister before, didn't you do a good job? Just leave the clothes making to the design department. Why do you need to go in person?"

    "Grandpa." Xu Jianian decided to speak again, if it doesn't make sense, forget it, and let the old man continue to do it himself.

    "My sister is capable, you obviously know it." Xu Jianian looked at him, "I heard from my father that every time my sister took the first place in the exam, you would show it off to your friends. The certificates and trophies my sister has won are in your studyThere are photocopies and photographs."

    Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, and turned his eyes away uncomfortably.

    Xu Jianian continued: "Just because she's a girl, you can't think that it's meaningless for her to be excellent. It's worth choosing talents, not to mention that she is your own granddaughter. She is the best choice for both public and private affairs."

    Old Master Xu's lips trembled for a moment, and he said, "You are no worse than her."

    Xu Jianian smiled and said: "But I don't want to, I just want to be Fudimo's disciple, and I don't want to work so hard."

    Old Master Xu's face turned green: "...no prospect."

    "Grandpa." Xu Jianian put away his joking expression and became serious, "Let's put it this way, my sister is doing well in the group now, and there is no need for me to disrupt her pace, which is not good for the development of the group."

    "But if one day my sister feels tired and doesn't want to do it anymore, or needs me to help her, I will definitely do it, okay?"

    Mr. Xu stared at him closely, remained silent for a moment, closed his eyes as if in compromise, grabbed his hand and said softly: "Look at Shen Fan for your sister, don't let him bully your sister."

    "I know." Xu Jianian felt that Shen Fan was not that kind of person, but he couldn't speak too much, "If he dares to treat my sister badly, I won't be the first to spare him."

    "There is also the Zhengrong you founded, and my sister and I will protect and grow it for you." Xu Jianian paused, "There is also Jiacheng, let's bring him together."

    Mr. Xu opened his eyes and looked at him in relief, holding his hand and muttering softly: "Okay...okay..."

    After the Lantern Festival, school starts every year.

    Ever since he talked about it during the Chinese New Year, Mr. Xu never mentioned the matter of letting Xu Jianian go to work in the group. He even asked a lawyer to draft a new will, and transferred a part of the shares to Xu Jiayuan's name in advance.

    This sent a signal that made Xu Jiayuan's position in the group more stable.

    Xu Jiayuan was a little surprised at first, but after signing the transfer agreement, she ordered a sports car for Xu Jianian.

    Xu Jianian didn't know about this, but the wedding dress he designed for Xu Jiayuan was finally finalized.Considering that his craft was not proficient enough, he took the design drawing to the seniors of the clothing company and asked them to help complete the production.

    There is still more than a month to go before Xu Jiayuan's wedding, so there is still time.

    Turning back page by page of the calendar, turned to Valentine's Day without knowing it.

    Lin He suddenly took a few days off, and asked Xu Jianian: "Would you like to go to the island where the show was recorded before? No Sui Sui."

    The author has something to say:

    Sui Sui:???
