On New Year's Eve, according to tradition, the whole family would have a " reunion dinner " together. It was like a family reunion for the new year.
The loving Aunt Julia called him several times to urge him to go back for New Year's Eve dinner. This was a traditional festival, so they had to go back to eat.
He parked the car and ran home quickly. It was snowing heavily. He flicked the snowflakes off his body and opened the door with his key.
"Mom, I'm back." He was changing into slippers at the entrance, but why were there two pairs of strange women's shoes in the shoe cabinet?
Aunt Julia walked to the entrance to welcome him. "Mom, are there guests at home?"
Aunt Julia smiled.”
There were two strangers sitting on the sofa in the living room. They looked like mother and daughter. Seeing Chen Jie come over, the two of them smiled and stood up.
"Is this your lawyer's son? He's much more handsome in person than in the photo." the woman who looked like her mother said.
"Jie, this is my old classmate. This was his daughter, a master of business administration from Tsinghua University. She was an executive in her father's company.”Aunt Julia introduced.
"Hello, my name is Liu Xiaoqing." She was tall, elegant, smart, and very charming. She was the daughter-in-law that Aunt Julia had in mind.
"Hello, my name is Chen Jie." Out of courtesy, he held her outstretched hand.
Xu Wenbin once said that if a person's gaze lingered on your face for more than 8? 9 seconds, then it's not as simple as being attracted to you. If you're interested in her, then you should be happy. If it's not interesting, then you have to be careful, because it's very likely that she has developed a strong interest in you. He did a rough calculation. Liu Xiaoqing had been staring at him for more than twelve seconds.
"That's great. I was afraid that you two wouldn't like each other.”Aunt Julia.
"These two children are fated." Mrs. Landis.
Liu Xiaoqing smiled shyly. Chen Jie was just smiling. It was not that he did not know how to put on a show, but it depended on the person.
"Madam, you can eat now." Nanny.
"Alright, let's eat first." Aunt Julia.
"Aren't you going to wait for Dad?"
"Your dad is on duty tonight, so we won't wait for him.”Aunt Julia.
When she was half full, Aunt Julia went to the bathroom."Mom, what do you mean?" Chen Jie followed.”
Aunt Julia washed her hands. He had thought that since both families were not reunited, it would be better to have a meal together.”
"This is a blind date! Didn't I say that you don't have to worry about me? You're good. You're taking advantage of my dad's absence to set me up.”
"How can this child say that? Oh, did Mom offend you by asking you to come back for dinner?”
"Suit yourself. I'll leave after eating. I still have things to do.”
"It's the new year. What else is there to be busy with? Besides, he was busy.”
…………
After the meal, the nanny brought some fruits.
"Mom, Auntie, you guys chat first. I'm not done with work yet, so I have to go back to work.”
"Why can't you do it tomorrow?”Aunt Julia.
"It's okay. Work is more important." Mrs. Landis.
"Goodbye, Auntie."
He went out and adjusted his clothes. He looked at the closed door and exhaled. He still had to rush to the banquet to eat the New Year's Eve dinner prepared by Dong Yuanqing.
…………
Ever since Mengting agreed to help her think of a solution, she quickly reconciled with Xiaojing. Now that she thought about it, she really didn't want to mention that embarrassing incident.
That day, she had prepared a sumptuous meal and waited for Xiao Jing to come back. In the end, Xiao Jing did not even look at him.
Meng Ting had even thought of a second move for her. She was holding the whatever brand of eye drops and sitting in front of Xiao Jing's room. She leaned against the door and confessed. As he said that, tears of regret flowed down his face.
Xiao Jing was still indifferent, but there was still a third move. Pretending to run away. She dragged her luggage (there was nothing inside) and confessed her love to Xiao Jing in front of her room. She said it so emotionally and tearfully.
In the end, under her repeated bombardment, Xiao Jing surrendered. The two of them were back together.
New Year's Eve was the biggest festival in the traditional Chinese festival. The whole family would reunite and have a happy reunion dinner.
Meng Ting went home to reunite with her family. Like her, Xiao Jing came to Beijing to study, so she could only be separated from her family.
The dishes were ready. She was making dumplings in the kitchen while Xiao Jing was watching TV in the living room.
"Xiao Jing, did…no, did Mengting say when she would be back?”
"I don't know. I don't think he's coming back.”
Ring ring ring…a series of ringtones.
"Quick, help me see who's calling." Dong Yuanqing ran out of the kitchen.”
Xiao Jing looked at her strangely.""My phone rang. Someone else dialed the wrong number.”
"Oh." She turned around and prepared to enter the kitchen.
"Hey, Jing Jing, wait a minute."
"Ah, what is it?"
"I heard that this is a kind of illness, do you know that?”
"What illness?"
"Cell phone obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"OCD?" "What disease is that?" Dong Yuanqing asked with a face full of question marks.”
"Just like what you're doing now, do you sometimes hear your phone ring when it's clearly not ringing?”
She knew that Xiao Jing was implying something, but she pretended not to know anything."Heh, this illness is new. This is the first time I've heard of it.”
