“Zimo, after the New Year, you’ll be twenty-nine. ” Mother Xin knew that it was unwise to quarrel on such days, so she reasoned with him and moved him with her emotions.

Xin Zimo did not reply, but only handed a cup of tea to mother Xin.

“actually, if you’re not satisfied with Xiaoxue, I can understand, ” mother Xin continued “A few days ago, chief Qin’s wife came to my place for a meal. Her daughter happens to be twenty-four this year, and her family is quite satisfied with you. If you have any ideas, let’s have a meal together after the New Year. ”

“You don’t have to say these things to me. ” Xin Zimo’s face was a little indifferent. “My feelings were expressed very clearly a long time ago. ”

“Then my attitude was also made clear a long time ago. ” Xin Zimo’s Mother did not give in.

Xin Zimo knew that his mother was a hundred times dissatisfied with Du Anran. In fact, if it weren’t for the grudges between the DU and Xin families, there wouldn’t be such a situation.

But before these grudges were completely resolved, he would try his best to avoid letting anran meet his mother.

“Mr. Xin, Madam, Miss Chi is here. ”

Not long after, the Butler brought Chi Xue to the living room. Today, Chi Xue had changed into a bright yellow coat without any makeup. She looked quiet and generous.

The moment she saw mother Xin, she immediately threw herself into her arms. “Auntie, why are you here? Why didn’t you tell me so that I could pick you up… ”

“Isn’t this a surprise for you? ” Mother Xin hugged her. “I haven’t seen you for many days. You’ve lost weight again. Has Someone bullied you? ”

“With you backing me up, who would dare to bully me? ” Chi Xue laughed.

Xin Zimo saw that Chi Xue and his mother were mother and daughter. It seemed like he wasn’t her biological son.

“Auntie, I knitted a scarf for you when I was free in London. I brought it with me. Take a look. ”

Chi Xue said as she took out a dark green scarf from her bag. She had always known that mother Xin liked this color. Sure enough, as soon as she took it out, mother Xin happily wrapped it around her. She even kept praising Chi Xue for her dexterity.

Xin Zimo saw that there was nothing much for him to do and went upstairs while they were chatting happily.

The channel villa was filled with laughter and laughter, but the Laidu Garden was a different scene.

When du Anran arrived at the Laidu Garden, old Mister Xin was exercising. The garden was empty and not as lively as the last time she came. All the servants were gone.

“Old Mister, are you alone? ”

Old Mister Xin was still very surprised when he saw Du Anran. He thought that he would have to spend the lonely New Year’s Eve alone this year, but he did not expect du Anran to come.

“Anran, why are you here? Didn’t you come back? ” The old man saw that she had brought many gifts.

“I didn’t go back. I thought you must be lonely in Laidu Garden alone, so I came to accompany you. ”

“Yes, I asked the servants to go back. They also want to spend New Year’s Eve. ”

“Then I’ll stay with you. I’ll spend New Year’s Eve with you. I brought a lot of things here. I’ll make dumplings for you later. ” Du Anran waved the things in her hand and smiled.

“I’ve really troubled you, but Zimo agreed to you coming to my place? ”

“Don’t worry, old sir. He said that he still has some things to do and will come over when he’s done. ” Du Anran lied. However, at this moment, she saw the hope in the old sir’s eyes.

However, this hope instantly dimmed and was replaced by the usual gloom.

“Will He… come over? ” The old Sir’s voice was a little shaky. He and Zimo had not seen each other for many years ? is He really willing to spend the New Year with me ?

“Yes, he will come. ” Du Anran nodded.

She did not know if she was giving hope to the old man or to herself.

The old man’s eyes were filled with tears, and a smile appeared on his weather-beaten face.

Du Anran understood that this kind of love was something that could not be separated from family. A few months ago, she had lost her favorite uncle. She understood the pain of suffocation. If… Xin Zimo also understood, she hoped that he would come.

Don’t let her down, and don’t let the old man down.

“Old man, let’s go make dumplings! ” Du Anran helped the old man into the house.

“Okay, okay. It’s been many years since I’ve made dumplings myself. I’ll take you to the attic. It’s quiet there. ”

The old man took du Anran to the attic they went to last time. The sound of shoes stepping on the wooden stairs was like the sound of a musical instrument from the old days.

“Is the little boy from last time still coming? ” Du Anran thought of the cute little boy they met at the attic last time.

“Yes, he comes every day when he’s not in school. I especially like it when he comes over. I haven’t experienced this kind of feeling for many years. ” The old man sighed.
