The question of how Hong Rizhang found out about Ye Huanyan's background was left to Gu Chi to investigate in secret. His people had been watching Hong Rizhang for a while, and now the task was only extended.
Gu Min returned to China yesterday. When she came back, she wanted to let her use her ability to pick locks and steal something, but Wen Siyuan came in handy, so she didn't bother her anymore.
Flying back and forth was torturous, so Ye Huanyan decided to let her stay in the Gu Mansion for the Spring Festival. There were a lot of people, so she could help the old and young.
After getting the contract, everything was left to Ling Han. He had the final say on how to deal with his ambitious uncle and cousin. Ye Huanyan didn't have the mood to care. Later, Ji Xiaoyue and Ling Zhan were discharged from the hospital on the same day, so the whole family was so busy.
When they were finally done, Ling Li tore a page from the calendar on the wall of the Gu Mansion. He suddenly realized that it was already the 20th of December.
It was almost New Year's Eve, but they hadn't cleaned up, let alone buy New Year's goods.
The Gu Family was definitely going to spend New Year's here this year, and Ling Dongyu's family was also coming back. The Second Young Mistress of Xi Yuan was old and wanted to return to Xi Yuan for a long time.
So this New Year's was destined to be very lively.
"It's already the 20th of December. Who's going to buy New Year's goods and Spring Festival couplets?"
At night, the whole family gathered in the dining room to eat hot pot. When Wen Yi mentioned this, everyone looked at each other. No one wanted to take this job.
"Ah Nian …" Starting with her son, Wen Yi glanced at Gu Sinian.
Gu Sinian was picking food for his precious wife, who was trying to stop the fight. Hearing this, his expression didn't change.
"I still have some things to do in America. I have to go back tomorrow. It'll be good if I can make it back on New Year's Eve."
"Then, what about Yan Yan?" Wen Yi turned to look at her daughter, who was sitting beside Ji Xiaoyue.
"My movie is still in the promotional period. We still have to catch up with the Lunar New Year slot. This is the last wave of publicity. If we can't keep up, the box office won't meet our expectations. The team will be disappointed."
After throwing out such an excuse, Ye Huanyan glanced at the table with a smile. "I'm treating everyone to a movie on the first day of the New Year. I've booked the entire theater."
Even Ye Huanyan herself hadn't watched "Remaining Life" in its entirety in the cinema since its release. She wanted to wait, wait for the whole family to see it together.
Wen Yi glanced at her indifferently and then turned to look at her son-in-law.
"What about you? This is your family's old house. Don't tell me you have something to do? "
"He does have something to do." Ling Han didn't refuse, but Ye Huanyan defended him.
"Pleasure just came back. He has a lot of things to do. It's not easy to sit here and have a meal with us. He really doesn't have time for this. "
Find someone else?
Wen Yi angrily put down her chopsticks and glanced at the people at the table. Her eyes were burning.
The people at this table were pregnant, had something to do in America, were promoting the movie, were reopening their companies, were coming back from gastroenteritis surgery, and were not even as tall as the table.
Fu Yingxiang was the only guest left. She was neither a member of the Ling Family nor a member of the Gu Family, so it wasn't good to bother her.
Therefore, there were only two reckless girls left.
When Wen Yi's gaze landed on the two maidservants, the two maidservants were still eating with their heads lowered. It was as if they had not participated in the discussion.
From the first time they met, Ling Li had a great interest in Gu Min. After two days of interaction, they found that they had similar temperaments. Every day, they would go out for morning exercises like they were little sisters who had been together for more than ten years. From time to time, they would go to the dojo to practice.
"Gu Min, you seem to have a lot of free time recently?"
Wen Yi's voice had a hint of warning.
Gu Min looked up and was stunned. "I'm not free. I help Young Master buy the things that Young Madam wants to eat every day. I went to buy these strawberries this afternoon."
Someone at the table snorted, followed by Ji Xiaoyue's dissatisfied questioning. "Didn't you say that you were the one who bought all those strawberries? Who told you to order people around blindly? "
Wen Yi coughed dryly and her eyes fell on Ling Li.
"Then, what about you?"
"Hey, you can't order your own people around, but you want to order me around?"
Hearing this tone, Ling Li's temper flared up. He glared at Wen Yi without holding back.
"I say, Auntie, you really don't hold back …"
Wen Yi had lived for more than half of her life. When she was young, she had a fiery temper and no one dared to provoke her. Now that she was older, her social status and family status were the same. What she said was even more irrefutable. On the other hand, it was useless to get involved with the Ling Family.
Ye Huanyan hurriedly gave Ling Li and Gu Min a look.
Ling Li didn't intend to respond at first, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ye Huanyan's turquoise earring and suddenly had an idea.
"That, it's not that I can't do it. It's just that I've been busy revising the design drafts recently. Chris asked me two thousand years ago if I was done revising. I said that I would give it to her in two days."
Wen Yi gritted her teeth.
"What, do you want me to help you tell Chris to postpone the submission of the paper?"
"No," Ling Li raised his eyebrows. "I never go back on my promises. If I say that I will hand it in two days, then I will hand it in two days."
What he meant was that either you run errands, or you help me revise the design drafts.
Originally, Ye Huanyan showed many of Ling Li's design drafts to Wen Yi. In Wen Yi's opinion, this girl's foundation wasn't good, but her design was very clever. Therefore, it wasn't impossible to have her as a teacher. She just wanted to take in a female disciple.
She was waiting for this girl to lower her head, then she would go with the flow.
She didn't expect that this girl didn't have the ability, but she was very stubborn. Ever since she was humiliated in the hospital, she didn't mention the design drafts in front of her.
This was good, now she was using it as a deal.
"You want me to help you revise the design drafts?"
Wen Yi held back her anger and stared at Ling Li.
Her husband, Gu Ming, was holding a small wine glass and drinking by himself. He didn't stop this small farce in front of him. He looked at Ling Li and smiled very lovingly.
For so many years, he rarely saw Wen Yi argue with the younger generation. After all, she didn't have a mouth for nothing. Very few people could beat her. This little girl was very interesting.
Ling Li's face was full of slyness.
"Running errands to buy New Year goods, pasting spring couplets, and revising design drafts can't be done at the same time. If I do one, someone will do the other for me, right?"
Wen Yi was very persistent about the Spring Festival, so Ling Li stepped on the point.
"Design drafts, right?" Wen Yi snorted and warned.
"As long as you're not afraid that your design drafts will be too eye-catching and cause trouble, I dare to revise them for you."
"If you dare to revise them, of course I'm not afraid of being eye-catching."
Ling Li's sentence caused who knew how much trouble later on. Young and frivolous, she always felt that as long as it wasn't right in front of her, it wasn't a problem.
Just like that, the matter of the New Year goods was settled. It was only after the discussion and the transaction was completed that Gu Min, who was standing at the side, looked up with a confused expression.
"Are you talking about the New Year goods that no one is buying? I can buy it when I run errands for the young master. "
