Chapter 162 Huang Lei's Fortune Telling (Daily)
The last day of the reunion

Hong Kong Island is already immersed in this wonderful atmosphere of family happiness. Children who work outside got off work early today and returned home.

Children in the streets and alleys have also bought firecrackers and small fireworks toys, and the crackling sounds are echoing in every corner of the streets and alleys.

Prince Edward Road, Garden Street and Flower Market Road are all decorated with fresh oranges and a variety of flowers.

The old men selling Hunchun couplets have set up their stalls on the street for several days. People come in groups of three or four to buy them, and the door is broken down.

Li Jiayuan drove past Baoling Street and listened to the sound of firecrackers, his heart beating with a long-lost excitement.

When he grew up, the New Year atmosphere was no longer so strong. The sound of firecrackers reminded him of the New Year scenes of his childhood.

"Long Wu, where are you going for Chinese New Year this year?"

Long Wu has no family in Hong Kong Island. In a sense, he and Li Jiayuan share the same suffering.

"Welfare Home"

"it is good"

With so many children in the welfare home, Long Wu probably won’t feel lonely this New Year.

If he didn't go to the Huang family for the New Year, Li Jiayuan would probably go to the orphanage to see the children.

Yesterday, when he called Huang Tian, ​​he said that he would take Huang Lei back home to celebrate the New Year. From the sound of Huang Tian dropping his phone over the phone, it was not difficult to see his excitement.

Come to think of it, Huang Tian must have been waiting for this New Year's Eve dinner for many years.

A Western restaurant in Mong Kok
"Why are you looking for me so urgently? Is there something wrong?"

Shao Jiahui walked into the box, pulled out a chair and sat down. Opposite her, the elegant Huang Tian was cutting steak in an orderly manner. When he saw Shao Jiahui coming, he immediately put down his knife and fork.

It seems like I have a lot to say, but I don’t know where to start.

Shao Jiahui's eyes were full of anticipation, because this was the first time Huang Tian took the initiative to ask her out for dinner, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Is Leilei home yet?"

Huang Tian did not mention what happened during the New Year, but instead asked whether Shao Jiahui's relationship with her daughter had improved.

Speaking of this, Shao Jiahui's eyes suddenly became lonely.

"No, I called her last week and asked her to come back for the New Year, but she was hesitant and didn't say whether she would come back or not."

Shao Jiahui was worried about his daughter living alone, but he had no idea where she lived, otherwise he would have gone to her house and brought her back.

She was so scared, afraid that her daughter wouldn't even come back for the New Year.

In fact, Shao Jiahui knew it. Although Huang Lei didn't say it, she was really angry this time.

Because of her own reasons, she has been living with a father for so many years but it is as if she has no father at all. This hurdle is not so easy to overcome.

Huang Tian was silent. He knew where Huang Lei was, but he couldn't tell her. What would happen if he told her? Asking Shao Jiahui to take her home would only cause more trouble.

Huang Lei should hate him even more.

"Leilei said she wanted to spend the New Year with me this year and asked me to ask you if you want to go."

Huang Tian took a sip of the red wine in the glass and tried to keep his tone calm. Shao Jiahui's still charming face showed a fleeting shock, and there was a bit of self-mockery on her face.

Seeing Shao Jiahui's distress, Huang Tian explained:

"Actually, my relationship with Leilei is not as good as you think. Before this, I only met him twice in private, and..."

Moreover, Li Jiayuan was present on both occasions, but even so, Huang Lei didn't give him a good look.

In fact, he could guess that Huang Lei was most likely unwilling to do so. It was Li Jiayuan who wanted her to go home and reunite with her family for the New Year. He knew his daughter too well.

What has been determined cannot be changed.

"Leilei is willing to come back for the New Year this time, probably because of her boyfriend." Shao Jiahui looked up suddenly.

"Boy friend!"

"You mean that?"

Shao Jiahui knew that Huang Lei had a boyfriend, but she didn't know much about it because before she had the chance to find out, Huang Lei had already moved out and she had no chance to meet Li Jiayuan.

So at this time, when she heard that Li Jiayuan could actually convince Huang Lei, she felt it was incredible.

She knew her daughter too well. From childhood to adulthood, once she made up her mind, she would never change it. She hated Huang Tian, ​​so she had hated him for so many years.

She wanted to be an architect, so she went abroad to study alone, studying until late at night every day, determined to become an architect.

"Leilei listens to Ayuan very well, so you don't have to worry too much. They have a very good relationship. You'll be able to see them tomorrow."

Shao Jiahui felt mixed emotions, as she felt her daughter was about to leave her. In fact, she had anticipated this day, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

She became more and more curious about Li Jiayuan, and sometimes she even thought that her daughter would live out her life alone. But one day, Huang Lei suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

Therefore, she was very curious about what kind of person Huang Lei liked.

Shao Jiahui was in a good mood at the thought of being able to celebrate the New Year with her family together. She had been waiting for this day for many years.

"I'm going back to prepare."

Temple Street

Temple Street used to be a symbol of chaos, with all kinds of people mixed together. Many gangsters gathered here, and people from all walks of life were there.

But now the Temple Street is clean and sanitary. The previously messy hooligans with disheveled clothes and strange costumes are no longer seen. It has changed a lot and is completely different from before.

If we were to choose the area with the best appearance, Yau Ma Tei would definitely be number one.

This is all thanks to the efforts of Jiayuan Property. Since Jiayuan Property took over the management of the entire Yau Ma Tei, it has put forward new requirements for street vendors and arranged dedicated personnel to be responsible for public health in each area.

Even a place like Temple Street is so untidy that the city government officials are too embarrassed to face the public.

The feedback from the neighbors was more direct. Some even started to curse, saying that the municipal government was useless and had not kept the streets clean for so many years. However, the property management company had made a big difference in the street hygiene in just one or two months.

Huang Lei came to Temple Street today to ask for amulets for Li Jiayuan and herself. Because of the red thread incident, even she, who was not superstitious, had to believe it.

After coming out of the Guanyin Temple, Huang Lei wanted to go back just like that, but when she turned the corner, her eyes somehow saw a fortune-telling stall in the corner.

Coincidentally, the stall owner looked over at this time and waved at her.

Huang Lei hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"Miss, do you want to have your fortune told? You must ask for money."

Huang Lei never believed in superstition before, but some things that happened during this period forced her to believe that there might really be some kind of connection between people that cannot be explained by science.

With the mentality of giving it a try, she sat down.

The fortune teller smiled and tapped the table with his fan.

"Put your hands up."

The fortune teller first read Huang Lei's palm.

"Your parents divorced when you were young, and your maternal bond is stronger. You were raised by your mother."

Huang Lei's expression changed slightly, and the fortune teller looked at his face.

"Your ears are clearly defined, so your parents must be wealthy, and your father is a very important figure. You yourself have a full forehead, beautiful eyebrows, and beautiful eyes. Your academic performance must be very good."

The fortune teller suddenly frowned.
