“I suspect that my second uncle and second aunt have caused trouble for He Xi’s parents. They have been overseas for so many years, so they must have some connections.” Zhuang Liu said, “If He Xi’s parents came back, then my second uncle and second aunt’s hands and feet would be tied by them. So they made the first move and trapped He Xi’s parents abroad.”
Tan Rou said, “You have to be careful. Han Min definitely didn’t take He Xi away to take good care of her. She will definitely use He Xi to do something.”
Zhuang Liu knew this very well. “Okay, 1’11 be careful.”
They were already by the gate but this was the Tao’s household. Zhuang Liu couldn’t do anything to Tan Rou. He touched the back of Tan Ron’s hand and said, “The weather is too cold. You should go back and rest.”
“You should also pay attention to your safety while driving.” Tan Rou nodded.
Zhuang Liu drove away while Tan Rou stood at the door. She only returned to the courtyard when the light from the taillights disappeared.
They hadn’t seen each other before the new year. Xiao Mo had come to give Tan Rou food and some gifts for the Tao family. Unknowingly, it was another new year again. Just as the Tao family was happily preparing for the new year, the Zhuang family was not very stable.
As it was the new year, even if Zhuang Liu’s family didn’t want to meet Zhuang Su and the rest, they couldn’t miss the reunion dinner. This was the first year after Old Master Zhuang’s death. According to tradition, everyone in the Zhuang family had to go to Old Master Zhuang’s portrait on the first day of the new year to burn incense and then have a meal together as a family.
On New Year’s Eve, Zhuang Liu, as the head of the Zhuang family, had to stay at the old mansion for the New Year. Even if Old Master Zhuang was no longer around, this rule could not be broken.
Outside, fireworks began to set off. Zhuang Liu looked at the fireworks in the sky and felt very sad. On this day last year, he bought a lot of fireworks to set off with Tan Rou. This year, he could only sit in the yard and enjoy the cold wind while watching the fireworks.
“Master, do you want to set off fireworks?” Xiao Mo had unknowingly changed the way he addressed Zhuang Liu. He was no longer a weakling in a wheelchair. He was the head of the Zhuang family, the one who could call the shots in the Capital in the future.
Zhuang Liu looked at the fireworks in Xiao Mo’s hand and sighed. “We’re back to the time when we spent the New Year together.”
Xiao Mo’s parents had pa.s.sed away a long time ago, and he had followed Zhuang Liu for a long time. It could be said that he had already treated the Zhuang family as his own home. A few years ago, Zhuang Liu was still in a wheelchair and Zhuang Yan was unconscious. Shen Jing would accompany Zhuang Yan every year during the New Year, so Xiao Mo had always been the one accompanying Zhuang Liu.
Last year, Zhuang Liu got to know Tan Rou. They had set off fireworks together for the New Year. Unfortunately, it was the two of them again this year.
“Give me one.” Zhuang Liu stretched out his hand. “Since we already bought it, we shouldn’t wait it
“Master, you can take a video of the fireworks and show it to Miss Tan Rou,” Xiao Mo suggested.
Zhuang Liu smiled bitterly. “Rourou must be setting off fireworks with her brothers now. How would she have time to watch my video?” He lit up the fairy stick in his hand, and the small fire sparks flew. Before Zhuang Liu could take a picture, it burned up.
“Hey!” Zhuang Liu sighed again. “I’m like this firework. Without anyone to accompany me, I’ll burn out alone.”
Xiao Mo stood at the side, thinking that Miss Tan Ron’s influence on his boss was too great. Just because Miss Tan Rou wasn’t here to spend New Year’s with him, his boss was already getting depressed.
Zhuang Liu went back after lighting the fireworks. Xiao Mo also stayed in the old mansion to rest. His room was on the first floor, and Zhuang Liu’s room was on the second floor.
Xiao Mo was lying on his bed, planning to watch a video for a while before resting. Unexpectedly, just as he turned on his phone, an angry voice came from upstairs.
That was Zhuang Liu’s voice. He was asking people to get lost.
Xiao Mo hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He was very worried about Zhuang Liu’s safety, so he quickly called security.
“Sir!” Xiao Mo slammed on Zhuang Liu’s door. “What happened?”
The sound of something falling to the ground made Xiao Mo even more worried. “Master, I’m going to kick the door open!”
Zhuang Liu’s voice came from inside again. “No need. i’ll come over and open the door for you.”
As soon as Zhuang Liu opened the door, Xiao Mo saw a white figure quickly jump out of the window. “Eh?”
Zhuang Liu turned around and saw the window open.. “s.h.i.t! He Xi jumped down!”
