In Zhonghai, the Jade Clouds Resort was located in the Eastern District. It was the only leisure resort that occupied a stretch of coastline.
There were all kinds of hotels, shops, supermarkets, and entertainment facilities in the resort. Throughout the year, it welcomed the upper-class consumers from all over the world to relax.
More than a year ago, the owner of this resort was one of the most important properties of the second largest family in Zhonghai, the Liu family. But now, it had changed its name to "An".
In the children's theme park of the resort, aside from all kinds of cute and playful dolls, there were also a large number of large game consoles, bumper cars, and merry-go-rounds.
A large number of families brought their children to the amusement park. After sending their children to the amusement park, the parents could also play cards and chat in the cafes and teahouses nearby.
The morning sun was shining brightly, and the faint golden light shone on the outdoor wooden balcony of the cafes.
Because it was winter in the south, even though the temperature was still over ten degrees Celsius during the day, it wasn't cold. However, the customers who came here to relax were all dressed up.
Beside a white table by the fence, Lin Ruoxi was wearing a pair of white-framed sunglasses that covered half of her face. Her hair was tied up in a simple bun, and she was wearing a light brown double-breasted windbreaker with a clean English style collar. A pair of layered blue jeans wrapped around her slender legs, and a pair of colorful sports shoes added a touch of color to the winter.
The woman held a steaming cup of cinnamon latte in one hand, and her other hand was waving at two figures not far away from the building.
At the bumper car park, Lanlan, who was wearing a bright yellow sweater, was playing with Tangtang, who was dressed in sportswear. Since the bumper cars could be played by adults and children at the same time, the childish Tangtang took advantage of Lanlan and swaggered into the bumper cars.
Seeing how excited Lanlan was, and how many times she went in with Tangtang, Lin Ruoxi shook her head with a helpless smile.
This scene also made the other people present smile.
Because the kindergarten was on vacation, and Lin Ruoxi had just quit her job and began to focus on her children and family, she didn't have much time to gather with her close friends before, but now she had a lot of time.
Today, Anxin originally wanted to invite Lin Ruoxi, Lanlan, and Mother Wang to the Biyun Resort. After all, when the An Group was in crisis last time, it was Lin Ruoxi who saved them.
However, it just so happened that Yuan Hewei and Yang Jieyu were also taking advantage of Lanlan's holiday to ask Lin Ruoxi and her mother to have a few days of fun, so they bumped into each other.
In the end, after Anxin's natural communication skills, everyone simply gathered at the resort. After all, they were a family, so it didn't matter who invited who.
When Yuan Hewei and his wife found out that Yang Cheng had recognized a daughter, and that Yang Gongming had also acknowledged this great-granddaughter, they couldn't be compared to the past. After all, this was the first child of the fourth generation of the Yang Family.
No matter what, as Lanlan's grandaunt and son-in-law, it was better to slowly get to know each other.
"This child, he even forgot to eat, how rare," Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but say.
"Maybe he hasn't played bumper cars before. Kids are like this, it's normal to play a lot," Yang Jieyu, who was sitting at the side, pursed her lips and smiled.
Yuan Hewei patted his son Yuan Ye's shoulder teasingly, "Xiao Ye, you should control Tangtang too. How old is she already, yet she still plays bumper cars with kids."
Yuan Ye and Tangtang also came over to join in the fun. Hearing his father's words, Yuan Ye put on a bitter face and said half-truthfully, "How can I control her? Even her mother can't do anything."
"How useless, if I knew this would happen, I would have had one more back then," Yang Jieyu smiled bitterly and shook her head. She suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, have you discussed with Yang Cheng, when are you going back to Beijing for the New Year?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded, "He said he'll be back in a week, so there's still five days left. Let's go by then."
"Oh, that's great, we'll be in Beijing by then, it'll be lively with our next family," Yang Jieyu said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi then found out that the Yuan couple was also going back to the Yang Family for the New Year, and she couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed. With more familiar people, she should feel more at ease in Beijing.
"You have to be prepared, the New Year isn't as relaxing as going to work, especially when you have to visit all kinds of influential people. Not only the collateral relatives of the Yang Family, but also your mother-in-law and sister-in-law's side of the Guo Family. You'll have to visit them too, it'll be tiring," Yang Jieyu gave her a heads-up.
Lin Ruoxi was a little nervous, "Are there a lot of people in the Guo Family too?"
"Our Yang Family is actually considered to have a small population. Most of the established families in Beijing are very prosperous. There aren't many Guo Family members, but there are still quite a few who are troublesome. In short, you have to be mentally prepared. If there are some things that you don't like, just turn a blind eye to them if it doesn't concern you!" Yang Jieyu said with a sigh.
Lin Ruoxi was confused, she could only nod blankly.
While they were chatting, Tangtang held Lanlan's hand and walked upstairs.
The two of them, one big and one small, seemed to be arguing about something. Lanlan was even pouting in confusion.
"Why are you arguing? It's endless," Yang Jieyu asked curiously.
"I told Lanlan to call me sister, but she insists on calling me auntie," Tangtang said gloomily.
Lanlan said in a serious tone, "Mummy said to call you auntie."
"But I'm still so young and beautiful, how can she call me auntie?" Tangtang was unwilling.
The group of people smiled, this girl was really messy, she called Tang Wan 'sister', and now in front of Lanlan, she still had to be 'sister', she was really 'disrespectful'.
"Stop it, Tangtang, how can you mislead a child like this, you can't teach Lanlan to be as disrespectful as you," Yang Jieyu said unhappily.
Tangtang was still a little afraid of this future mother-in-law, she stuck her tongue out, Shanshan smiled and didn't argue anymore.
At this moment, Anxin, who was wearing a white lapel jacket, walked out of the cafe. As the host, she was naturally busy preparing all kinds of food and entertainment.
Seeing that everyone was here, Anxin led them to the nearest Chinese restaurant.
The restaurant faced the sea view and had a wide view. The huge transparent tempered glass windows made people feel as if they were eating in the sea.
After all kinds of seafood dishes were served, Lanlan couldn't wait to go all out. The chubby little girl played for the whole morning. If it wasn't for Tangtang saying that it was time to eat, she really wouldn't have thought of such an important thing.
Before they even started eating, they had already gulped down three bowls of shark fin. Lanlan grabbed a big crab leg and looked at it from top to bottom. She wanted to eat the crab meat inside, but she felt that it was too troublesome to remove the shell, so she put the crab leg on Lin Ruoxi's plate and said eagerly, "Mummy, Lanlan wants to eat crab, help Lanlan peel the shell."
Lin Ruoxi was peeling a prawn, and when she heard her daughter's words, she frowned slightly.
Anxin, who was at the side, immediately smiled gently and said, "Come, Lanlan, aunt will peel it for you."
But before Anxin took the crab leg, Lin Ruoxi interrupted directly, "No need."
Anxin was stunned. Listening to Lin Ruoxi's voice, she didn't seem very happy.
"It's not like you don't have strength. You're even stronger than mommy. You're so young and you're already thinking of being lazy. If you want to eat, peel it yourself," Lin Ruoxi said and put the crab leg back on Lanlan's plate.
Lanlan suddenly showed a pitiful expression, but fortunately, she seemed to be used to being talked to by Lin Ruoxi like this. She didn't cry or make a fuss. The little girl shook her head and licked her lips greedily. She simply took a spoon to eat the abalone that didn't need to be peeled.
Yuan Hewei and Yang Jieyu looked at each other, smiled and nodded at each other. They thought that Lin Ruoxi spoiled this daughter to the heavens, which was why she resigned from the CEO and went home to take care of the child. But it seemed that Lin Ruoxi was still clear-headed and didn't spoil everything.
Tang Tang, who was watching this scene, rolled her eyes. She took a crab leg and peeled the shell. She took out the fragrant and tender crab meat and held it in front of Lan Lan's eyes.
Lanlan's gaze was immediately attracted, and she looked at Tangtang expectantly.
"How is it, Lanlan, do you want to eat it?"
Lanlan nodded vigorously, and even stopped chewing on the abalone.
"Aunt Tangtang, can you let Lanlan eat it?"
"Call me sister, and I'll let you eat it all. Sister will keep her words," Tangtang said with a smile.
The faces of the others at the table were stiff. This girl was really good at tormenting. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but they also looked at Lanlan expectantly. After all, it wasn't a very serious problem, and they treated it as teasing the child.
Lanlan looked back at the expressionless Lin Ruoxi, as if to confirm if her mother had any instructions.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi seemed to turn a deaf ear, Lanlan looked at the crab meat in front of her again. The chubby little girl clicked her tongue, as if she was struggling in her mind. Should she do it for the delicacy or to protect the face of the missing father?
After thinking for a while, Lanlan finally felt that the missing father was unreliable, so she whispered, "Sister Tangtang."
"Yay!"
Tangtang cheered happily and swung her head at Yuan Ye proudly, as if to say that she won, but she didn't forget to give the crab meat to Lanlan.
Yuan Ye touched his face, looked at Lanlan who was eating happily, and smiled, "Brother Chen is so pitiful. A crab leg has lowered him by one generation …"
