Chapter 518: Upset

When Liang Yusen closed his eyes in relaxation, Li Jiawei said, "Uncle Liang, why don't you celebrate the New Year with me this year! We can have a lively time together, and you won't be lonely."

Liang Yusen turned sideways, looked at Li Jiawei with concern, and asked, "Is Xiao Yi not coming back for the New Year this year?"

Li Jiawei shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on her face, and explained: "The crew is rushing to make progress, and the time is very tight. He really can't get away to come back."

Liang Yusen asked: "Why don't you spend the New Year with your parents? It would be great for the whole family to be together."

Li Jiawei couldn't help but sigh, looking a little lonely: "So many things have happened at home, they must be very busy, if I go back, it will only cause more trouble.

Besides, the conflict between Big Brother and Xuanbao is getting serious, and Xuanbao and I are not getting along either. They definitely don’t want me to get involved, and going back would only cause more trouble.”

Liang Yusen raised his hand, gently patted the back of Li Jiawei's hand, and said, "Okay, then we will celebrate the New Year together."

Hearing this, Li Jiawei's lips curved up and she said excitedly, "Then let's go to the supermarket to buy food. Aunt Liu made a shopping list for me, and if you go, you can just help me carry some things."

Liang Yusen stood up with a smile, pretending to be helpless and said, "Okay, I'll do the hard labor for you. But Jiawei, is it considered abuse of the elderly for you to order me around?"

Li Jiawei walked to the clothes rack, took off Liang Yusen's coat and handed it to him, laughing and retorting: "Uncle Liang, please stop making fun of yourself. Look at your energy and spirit, your body is better than mine, how can you have the nerve to say that you are an old man!"

On New Year's Eve, Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu called Liang Yusen and Li Jiawei respectively, asking them to return to the villa to celebrate the New Year together, but the two declined.

Liang Yusen sat comfortably in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, letting the warm sun shine on his body. On the small tea table next to him, there was an exquisite tea set.

However, at this moment, what fills the air is not the fresh fragrance of tea, but the rich aroma of fried fruit oil. The smell of fireworks slowly spreads in the house, and it seems that the years are peaceful.

After a while, Li Jiawei came out of the kitchen holding a porcelain bowl with a few freshly fried radish balls in it. She went straight to the balcony with an expectant smile on her face and said, "Uncle Liang, try my fried radish balls and see how they taste."

Liang Yusen's eyes fell on the white porcelain bowl. The meatballs were small, only slightly larger than a thumb, and glowed with an attractive golden color. He asked, "Are you sure you fried them yourself and not Mrs. Liu's?"

Li Jiawei met Liang Yusen's suspicious look and pretended to be wronged, with a bit of resentment in her tone: "You are really joking. Didn't you just see me busy in the kitchen? From cutting vegetables, mixing stuffing, to frying, I did it all by myself."

With a smile on his face, Liang Yusen reached out to take the porcelain bowl, gently picked up a meatball with his fingertips, and put it in his mouth to chew carefully.

Li Jiawei stood aside, staring at him without blinking, looking at him nervously and expectantly: "How is it? Does it taste good to you?"

After Liang Yusen swallowed the first meatball, he picked up another one and put it in his mouth without saying a word.

Seeing Li Jiawei's nervous and expectant expression, he smiled even more and stopped teasing her. He praised sincerely, "It tastes good. Who did you learn this skill from?"

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "I learned it from my mom. I followed her to make it since I was a kid. Every year during the Chinese New Year, I would help out at the side when my family fried the vegetables. After a few times, I learned it."

After saying that, Li Jiawei turned around with a smile on her face and walked towards the kitchen. After taking a few steps, she turned around again and said kindly: "Uncle Liang, if you want to eat more after you finish eating, just call me and I will get it for you."

Liang Yusen looked at Li Jiawei who walked into the kitchen, then shifted his gaze back to the meatballs in the white porcelain bowl, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

He couldn't help but think of Xuanbao. That kid could not even do a technically demanding task like frying meatballs, but the fact that she could make a decent bowl of porridge by herself would be considered a superb cooking skill.

After making the meatballs, Li Jiawei did not forget Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu, so she asked Uncle Liang's driver to send them some to try.

Li Ronghua looked at the meatballs that were brought to him, reached out and picked one up and put it in his mouth.

The meatballs tasted really good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but now in his mouth, there was only bitterness.

He did not feel any joy for the New Year as he was upset by the affairs of Li Yan and Xuan Bao. This should have been a happy family reunion year, but it was disturbed by these troubles. This feeling was more bitter than coptis chinensis.

When Li Yan walked in, he saw Li Ronghua sitting there with a serious look on his face, with a few golden meatballs placed on a porcelain plate in front of him.

He walked over and sat down on the sofa, ignoring the unfriendly look his father gave him. He picked up a meatball and put it in his mouth, then commented: "It tastes really good. Was it made by the aunt at home? How much did she make? If there is a lot, I will take some with me when I leave tonight."

Li Ronghua raised his eyes and looked at Li Yan deeply, then sighed helplessly and said, "This was made by Jiawei herself, and she specially asked the driver to deliver it."

Hearing this, Li Yan made another meatball, held it in front of his eyes and examined it for a while before putting it in his mouth. He exclaimed with a little surprise: "I didn't expect Jiawei to have such skills? I really didn't realize it before."

Li Ronghua was exhausted and really didn't want to waste time arguing with Li Yan. He just said in a deep voice: "Xuanbao is coming to have the New Year's Eve dinner tonight. If she says something unpleasant, just listen and don't conflict with her again."

Li Yan had a faint smile on his face. Although he didn't think he had done anything wrong, since his father had told him so, he just listened: "Dad, don't worry. As long as she can agree to my conditions, even if she speaks harshly, I will pretend I didn't hear anything."

After hearing this, Li Ronghua felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he wanted to beat this rebellious son severely.

But after calming down and thinking about it, he really couldn't find a reason to do it. After all, everything Li Yan did was for the development of the group. He had to suppress his anger and said in a muffled voice: "Just eat well tonight and don't mention work."

Jing Qiu packed the prepared meals into lunch boxes one by one and handed them to the driver. He watched the driver disappear from his sight before turning and entering the living room.

Walking to the coffee table, she picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the oil stains on her hands. She looked a little lonely, sat down next to Li Ronghua, and said, "We asked Yusen and Jiawei to come for the New Year's Eve dinner, but they refused to come."

Li Ronghua consoled him: "There are so many things going on at home this year, it's better if they don't come."

When Li Xuanbao arrived, Zhong Xinlan was bringing the servants to place food on the dining table.

Today is International Women’s Day. I wish all the beautiful girls who are reading a happy holiday and a happy mood every day!
