Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Chen Dong said excitedly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Chen Xiumei laughed and teased him, "You only know how to eat, you don't even know how to help your mother with chores."

"I'm just trying to help."

Chen Dong retorted with a smile, pointing to the vegetables in the bowl and saying, "Besides, my role as an assistant is also very important."

"Without my help, you wouldn't have been able to get this far."

"Mom, look how clean these vegetables are! If I didn't take care of them, would you be able to relax like this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huazhen laughed and scolded, "Hmph, you're good at making excuses, but it's good that you have this intention."

Chen Jianguo chimed in with a smile, "That's right, that's right. My son is really helping out. He might even be able to learn how to make fire later."

The family chatted and laughed, filling the kitchen with joyful sounds.

The fire in the stove burned brighter and brighter, the flames leaping and dancing merrily as if they had come to life, illuminating everyone's faces.

Her rosy cheeks beamed with a happy smile, filling the kitchen with warmth and joy.

Outside the window, the sound of firecrackers rose and fell, one after another, as if cheering and celebrating the New Year for this family.

The booming sound of firecrackers and the laughter of family members mingled together, creating a beautiful New Year's symphony.

In this happy and fulfilling New Year, the Chen family has forgotten the troubles of the past.

All those unpleasant experiences and past hurts have been cast to the winds.

Their faces beamed with anticipation for the future, and their hearts were filled with love for life and longing for a better tomorrow.

They gathered around the stove, preparing the New Year's Eve dinner together, weaving a beautiful picture of their new life.

After finishing their New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat around in the living room.

The warm yellow light, like a soft veil, gently falls, illuminating the room in a cozy and bright way.

The table was laden with various fruits and pastries, which gleamed enticingly under the light and exuded a sweet aroma.

The smiles on everyone's faces were like blooming flowers, radiating satisfaction and joy.

Immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, laughter and cheerful chatter frequently broke out.

Suddenly, the telephone in the living room rang crisply, breaking the idyllic tranquility.

The ringing bell echoed in the warm room, breaking the original harmony.

Li Huazhen quickly got up, her steps light and hurried, afraid of disturbing this beautiful moment.

She walked quickly to the phone, her slender fingers gently pressing the answer button to pick up the call.

"Hey?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, a surprised smile bloomed on Li Huazhen's face.

That smile was like fireworks in the night sky, instantly illuminating her face.

"Oh, it's Xiurong!"

As she spoke, Li Huazhen quickly pressed the speakerphone button on the landline so that everyone could hear the voice on the phone.

Upon hearing Chen Xiurong's voice, Chen Dong, his father Chen Jianguo, and his eldest sister Chen Xiumei were immediately overjoyed.

They all crowded around Li Huazhen, their eyes sparkling with joy.

"Happy New Year, Dad, Mom, Eldest Sister, and Younger Brother!"

Chen Xiurong's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Her voice carried a hint of playfulness and longing, as if her joy could be felt by everyone present through the telephone line.

"Xiurong, Happy New Year! How are you doing in Shenzhen?"

Li Huazhen asked with a face full of concern.

His eyes revealed a deep longing for his daughter, as if he could see her far away through the phone.

"Mom, I'm doing really well in Shenzhen!"

"I started my own business this year, selling clothes, and I've earned over ten thousand yuan!"

"It's because the company is still in its development stage and can't do without me."

"I need to consolidate my position at the company, so I won't be going home for the Chinese New Year this year."

"I'm so sorry for only telling you now."

Chen Xiurong's tone carried a hint of apology, but her words were full of dedication and expectations for her career.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo frowned slightly, his thick eyebrows furrowing together.

He said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "The Spring Festival is such a big event, and you just say you won't come back? What kind of talk is that!"

"We've been a family for so many years, when have we ever spent the New Year apart?"

No matter how busy you are outside, you must not forget your roots or your family!

Li Huazhen quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

With a gentle smile, she lightly tugged at Chen Jianguo's sleeve and said, "Our child has his own career to keep him busy, we have to understand."

"Xiurong, make sure you eat and drink well while you're spending the New Year away from home, and take good care of yourself."

"Starting a business is not easy, so just focus on working hard and striving for success."

"Mom, I know, don't worry."

Chen Xiurong's voice was tinged with helplessness and determination as she quickly replied, "I will take good care of myself. Once things are settled here, I will go home to visit."

Li Huazhen looked at Chen Jianguo and sighed softly.

Then he handed the phone to Chen Jianguo and said, "You and Xiurong can say a few words."

Chen Jianguo waved his hand and snorted, his voice revealing a hint of stubbornness and displeasure.

“No matter what you say to her, she doesn’t care about this family at all.”

Li Huazhen glared at her husband, her eyes full of reproach and helplessness, and said softly, "Don't be so stubborn. It's not easy for the children out there either."

Left with no other choice, she handed the phone to Chen Xiumei.

"Xiurong, congratulations on your fortune!"

Chen Xiumei said with a smile, a smile that conveyed maturity and composure.

"Sis, I wish you a prosperous New Year too! By the way, how have you been lately?"

Chen Xiurong asked with concern, as if she had returned to her childhood and was having a close conversation with her eldest sister.

Chen Xiumei sighed softly, a sigh that could be heard on the other end of the phone.

She slowly began to recount her feelings, telling him about her divorce from Qin Min.

"That bastard Qin Min, when he was the deputy head of the sales department at the tobacco bureau, embezzled and accepted bribes, misappropriated public funds, and even had an extramarital affair; he even has a child with someone!"

"He always pretended to be so nice to me, but it was all a lie. If Dongzi hadn't found out early, I don't know how long I would have been fooled by him."

As Chen Xiumei spoke, her voice was filled with anger and regret, as if she were recalling that painful experience.

"what?"

Chen Xiurong's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, as if struck by a thunderbolt, filled with shock and anger.

"That Qin Min is a complete scoundrel! Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not let him get away with this!"

Chen Xiumei said with a wry smile, "He has already been sentenced by the court to fifteen years in prison."

"That's more like it, he got off too easy!"

Chen Xiurong finally felt a little better, clenched her fists, and seemed to be giving Qin Min a good beating in her mind.

Afterwards, Chen Xiumei chatted with her younger sister Chen Xiurong about everyday matters.
