745 Xie Yunzhou Arrives
Xie Yunzhou called Shi Xi.
However, Shi Xi was in a bad mood at the moment, so she pretended not to see it.
Humph!
Who couldn’t have a little temper?
!!
Shi Xi put her phone on silent mode and prepared the New Year menu with her mother.
The auntie at home was on holiday during the New Year, so they did everything themselves.
“It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow,” Mother Shi suddenly said. “Why don’t you invite your parents over? We can spend the New Year together.”
“I called them. They’re going to spend the New Year with Grandpa and Grandma.” Shi Xi was mixing the cold dishes. “They’ll be back on the first day of the Chinese New Year.”
“Oh…” Mother Shi wanted to spend the New Year with her daughter, but she thought of Ning Yu and asked, “Did Ning Yu say where she was spending the New Year?”
This was Ning Yu’s first year back home.
Mother Shi did not like Ning Yu, but she was still her daughter.
Moreover, under Shi Xi’s mediation, the relationship between the two of them was not as tense as it was at the beginning.
“Ning Yu also went back on the first day of the month. She doesn’t like Grandma Ning,” Shi Xi said softly.
“The older generation values boys over girls.” Mother Shi was not surprised.
Even Grandpa Shi favored sons over daughters.
As they were talking, Ning Yu came back from outside.
“Go wash your hands and prepare to eat. Tell your brother to set off the firecrackers first,” Mother Shi instructed when she saw that everyone was present.
Mother Shi had prepared a table full of dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.
Shi Xi came out with the dishes. When she saw Ning Yu, she forced a smile.
She had mixed feelings about Ning Yu.
She didn’t know how to communicate with her now.
It was the New Year.
Even though the table was filled with dishes, Shi Xi was still feeling weak.
“What’s wrong with my precious sister? Are you unhappy?” Shi Chen was the first to notice Shi Xi’s expression.
Shi Xi paused for a moment and her eyes curved. “Nothing. I’m just afraid that I’ll get fat.”
Her acting skills had never been bad.
She was happy to act and prepare for the New Year with everyone.
“You’re so skinny. Eat more.” Shi Chen picked up a big chicken drumstick for Shi Xi.
“…Thank you, Second Brother.”
“Eat a piece of fish to nourish your brain.” Shi Xu picked up a piece of fish for Shi Xi.
He picked up a prawn for Ning Yu. “Xiao Yu, eat more meat.”
“Thank you.”
Looking at his children, who were so respectful to each other, Father Shi raised his gla.s.s in relief. “Come, let’s have a drink together.”
The adults drank.
Shi Xi and Ning Yu had drinks in their cups.
Just as he was raising his gla.s.s, the doorbell rang.
“Who’s still coming over when the New Year is approaching?” Father Shi glanced around and finally looked at Shi Shuo, “Go open the door and take a look.”
Shi Shuo was speechless. ‘I knew I was the least favored.’
“Who is it?” Shi Shuo went to open the door.
Seeing the person outside the door, Shi Shuo said in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
Xie Yunzhou came in from outside and said calmly, “Happy New Year.”
Shi Shuo: ?!?
This was the first time he had heard someone pay a New Year’s visit at this hour!
However, Xie Yunzhou still came with some things.
Shi Shuo thought of something and his face darkened. “Don’t come in! You’re not welcome in our house!”
“Are you the one in charge of the Shi family?” Xie Yunzhou asked back.
As long as it was Shi Chen or Shi Xu who opened the door, they could make the decision directly.
Even Shi Xi and Ning Yu could lock Xie Yunzhou out without hesitation.

Shi Shuo could only droop his head. “Dad, Mom, a man is here.”
Father and Mother Shi was speechless.
Seeing that it was Xie Yunzhou, everyone in the Shi family was shocked.
Especially Shi Xi.
Didn’t she not pick up the call?
Why did he come?
When Father Shi saw Xie Yunzhou open the door, he said politely, “Have you eaten? It’s so late. Let’s have dinner together.”
Xie Yunzhou put down the gifts he had brought and said, “Then I’ll do as you say.”
Father Shi: …He was really just being polite.
