Qi Botao’s villa is very big, with roses with red flowers climbing on both sides of the walls.

It is rare to see roses blooming in the New Year in the winter in the north.

This bright red color makes New Year’s Eve more festive, fresh and vivid.

Shen Youning and Liang Zhiruan sent invitations in.

The courtyard of the villa is decorated festively.

In the distance, there was a performance stage with a red carpet on it.

Although we were in the yard of the villa, it was not cold.

Because there were stoves burning in every corner, isolating all the coldness around from the villa.

"Brigade Commander Sheng, Deputy Director Shen, you are all here." Qi Lu's voice came from the side.

Several people heard the sound and turned to look.

Qi Lu was wearing a red turtleneck sweater and a black tweed A-line skirt, which made her figure look particularly slim and charming.

Next to her, there was a man in his forties, wearing a neat military uniform.

The two-bar four-star colonel rank on the epaulettes is particularly eye-catching.

It seems that this man is the man that Qi Lu married and whose wife died not long ago.

Qi Lu first glanced at Liang Zhiruan, and then stopped at Shen Youning.

Compared to Liang Zhiruan, Qi Lu hates Shen Youning more.

Because this woman had played her around at the last National Day party.

She still feels a pain in her liver when she thinks about it now.

But this time, a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

She has already investigated Shen Youning clearly enough.

She wanted to see what other tricks she could come up with.

"Tonight's show is good, you must watch it carefully." Qi Lu said with a smile.

"They were all carefully arranged by Comrade Su, and you won't see them anywhere else."

"Don't worry, we will take good care of it." Shen Youning raised his eyes and smiled, then spoke.

“She was a drama just standing there.”

"This will definitely be more exciting if it is carefully considered."

"The most important thing is that you don't have to pay for the ticket to watch the show. It's a great bargain."

When Shen Youning said this, Qi Lu's face darkened.

This woman is sharp-tongued and quick-witted.

It looks soft and seems easy to bully, but in fact it is full of glass shards and is very prickly.

What she said seemed to be treating this place as a place where they could watch a show for free.

"As the saying goes, free is the most expensive." Qi Lu chuckled and said.

“Whoever can smile till the end will be the final winner.”

Shen Youning glanced at her and said, "If you smile for too long, your mouth will easily wrinkle."

"Heh~" Qi Lu sneered and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"You're only good at talking."

"Tonight, enjoy your New Year's Eve."

"Let's go." Qi Lu said, and left with the man beside her.

Shen Youning looked at the backs of the two of them as they left, and suddenly thought of the scene in the melodramatic TV drama.

"Commander, your new wife is having an affair with the pretty boy in the art troupe, did you know that?"

"You can still be so calm even though your head is green?"

The two of them were calm and composed, and paused with a proud look.

"Shen Youning, you are talking nonsense and damaging my reputation." Qi Lu turned around angrily.

Shen Youning smiled innocently, "You said I was talking nonsense, and you're still angry?"

"Could it be that what I said is true?"

"Although your family member is old, it doesn't necessarily mean that he likes green."

"I don't want to talk to you." Qi Lu lost his composure and left angrily.

Her man followed her and when they reached a place with fewer people, Shi Tiancheng spoke.

"You can play with the pretty boy in the art troupe, but don't show it in public!"

After Shi Tiancheng finished speaking, he walked past Qi Lu and came in front of her.

It seems that the old man is still angry.

"What are you showing off for!" Qi Lu stomped his feet in disdain.

"If you hadn't married me, you wouldn't have been able to become a teacher so quickly, and you might have been bullied by Sheng Sinian."

……

"Wife, you are so awesome. You can confront anyone." On this side, Xie Yuanzhou did not forget to praise.

He is not as good as his wife in criticizing others, but the emotional value must be achieved.

Shen Youning pinched his fingers and glanced at everyone present casually.

There are so many... bad guys who don't have a good ending.

Shen Youning, who has experienced everything personally, from the past to the future, can get to know most of the people at the banquet by looking up information in his free time.

Even though they are happy this year, in two years they will all be in trouble.

Thinking so, Shen Youning walked over to Liang Zhiruan to comfort him.

"Zhi Ruan, although Sheng Sinian didn't become a division commander, he lived a long life."

"And he will definitely be able to move up in the future."

Sheng Sinian's eyes were slightly surprised.

This was the first time he heard praise from Shen Youning.

Liang Zhiruan held Shen Youning's hand and shook his head, his smile gentle and peaceful.

"I don't care about that."

She glanced at the man next to her, and the tenderness in her eyes was tinged with sweetness.

"Ningning, you don't have to comfort me. I can figure it out."

"Tonight's party looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

"Let's not think too much about it for now, just eat and drink."

"When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Don't let a few words from others affect your mood."

"Zhi Ruan, did Sheng Sinian perform a breast enlargement surgery on you?" Shen Youning chuckled.

"Suddenly I feel that your heart has become much broader."

"You would never be so calm and composed in the past."

"Then I have a good sister like you." Liang Zhiruan smiled, put her hands on Shen Youning's shoulders, and pushed her towards the food area.

"If I don't change at all, wouldn't it be a waste of your protection for so long?"

"You have given me enough time to grow, Ningning, you are the noble person in my life." Liang Zhiruan expressed his sincere gratitude.

"I'm not a noble, I'm a citizen now." Shen Youning replied.

"Well, citizen, let's go see what we have for dinner tonight."

"This year is New Year's Eve."

Shen Youning curled her lips and said, "Who is a good person who holds a party on New Year's Eve?"

"It makes us seem like we are very close to him."

"No one has received a red envelope of New Year's money."

"Ha~" Liang Zhiruan laughed when he heard it.

"It's all fine without asking us for red envelopes."

"Sheng Sinian even asked his eldest brother to prepare a ginseng as thick as his arm."

"Heh~" Shen Youning also laughed.

"Then the gifts we prepared are similar in nature."

Liang Zhiruan was curious: "What is it?"

Shen Youning smiled cunningly, "A big fat carrot as thick as an arm."

"As the saying goes, eating radishes stuffed with ginseng in winter is like eating radishes. I can provide you with as much as you want."

"Puchi~" Liang Zhiruan found it funny and raised his hands to cover his face.

The two were laughing happily, but Shen Youning noticed that the gazes around him were a little strange.

When she looked up, she noticed that many of the men around her were looking at Liang Zhiruan.

Shen Youning became alert and immediately pulled the person behind him.

The two tall figures Sheng Sinian and Xie Yuanzhou also quickly blocked the way.

The two of them blocked Shen Youning and Liang Zhiruan tightly, isolating them from the surrounding eyes.

After a long while, Xie Yuanzhou and Sheng Sinian turned around.

"Wife, you should stay with me. The looks from those people are really too annoying."

Xie Yuanzhou spoke, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust.

As a soldier, it was the first time he had seen such a disgusting scene.

Sheng Sinian also held Liang Zhiruan tightly.

Those glances just now were mostly directed at Liang Zhiruan.

"You follow me tonight too," he said to Liang Zhiruan.

"Now I am no longer the person that the Qi family needs to win over, so they won't be polite to me."

Liang Zhiruan nodded, "Okay."

Not long after, music started to play on the red stage.

As the music played, Qi Lu came out of the hall holding Qi Botao's hand.

Next to the father and daughter were two other division commanders from the Seventh Army.

Seeing this, the people around all walked towards Qi Botao.

All kinds of flattering and praising words came out of their mouths.

The chairs have been arranged in front of the stage.

Qi Botao and his daughter were surrounded by a group of people and walked forward.

One row, two rows, three rows...

Sheng Sinian, who used to sit either in the first or second row, was unexpectedly arranged to sit in the fourth row this time.

For those who are not favored, the difference in treatment will be particularly obvious.
