Chapter 272: Giving Gifts

~4 min read 765 words

The color scheme of her outfit really wasn't great, held up entirely by her looks.

"Afraid you'd snatch it."

"Kidding, why would I snatch her red envelope!"

Su Xi glanced at Su Yi, not believing him at all — did he think he'd forgotten what happened when they were little?

Su Yi was so angry he wanted to flip the table. His situation with his eldest brother was different from his situation with Su Yu! He was the one who'd asked for that red envelope — what was wrong with him taking a share of the money?!

Su Yu had changed into a red fox plush dress, with super cute paw-shaped plush pockets on both sides.

"Uncle, does this one look nice?"

"It looks nice! Hold onto your phone, and remember to find your dad if anything happens."

Su Yu's gaze shifted from Su Xi to Su Yi. "Dad, how come you're not eating your greens?"

"……"

Su Yi gritted his teeth. "I am eating them — I just haven't finished!"

Su Yi finished the greens in the soup, wiped his mouth clean, and hurriedly slipped away. "I'll go arrange the car."

Su Xi was full too. "Let's go, we're setting off soon!"

"Grandma~"

Su Yu was led to the living room, where she squeezed into Xu Mingyue's arms and nuzzled against her.

Xu Mingyue's voice was slightly hoarse. "Mm, we're setting off soon. Are you happy, sweetheart?"

"Happy!"

The whole family arrived at the Xu family's place with a huge pile of gifts. The Xu family was also bustling. The married-out Xu family women and the main family members who could come back had all returned.

Su Yu got out of the car and saw that people entering the Xu family home had to line up. "Grandma, there are so many people — are we having a buffet too?"

【Why not go to a hotel?】

"Right. If it's hard to sit on the first floor, you can go upstairs to sit and eat."

The Xu family always had a lot of people on the second day of the New Year. It was rare for everyone to gather together. The Xu family was involved in a wide range of industries.

"If your company wants to discuss any partnerships, you can ask them for information."

Xu Mingyue looked at Su Yi. She had reminded Su Xi yesterday, so the two brothers should have already discussed it.

Su Yi nodded in understanding. "Thank you, Mother-in-law!"

Ji Tianlin didn't want the child to be overlooked. "I'll take him over — some people might not recognize him."

"Alright, thank you, Father-in-law!"

Su Yi did indeed have this worry. He recognized others, but others might not recognize him.

Su Yu looked up. "Grandma, are we going to give gifts to Great-grandma and Great-grandpa first?"

"Right! Jiajia, you and Xiao Yu wait in the car. I'll go inside and let Mom, Dad, and the housekeeper know. You two go do your things."

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

Xu Mingyue left and came back shortly after.

"Jiajia, come inside with me to deliver gifts, then we'll come back out to distribute gifts to the others."

Su Yu casually grabbed a few bags containing peanuts and ruyi from the gift box and tucked them into the pockets on both sides.

Xu Mingyue led Su Yu and Ji Yan, who was carrying gifts, to line up at the back, and they soon entered the room.

"Great-grandma!"

Su Yu trotted over to Gu Yang's side with cheerful steps. "Happy New Year, Great-grandma! Wishing Great-grandma happiness every day!"

Gu Yang looked at the box Su Yu held out and accepted it with a smile, but noticed the weight didn't seem right.

She opened it somewhat nervously. "This?!"

Gu Yang reached out and touched the chessboard and the pieces inside — all warm jade. She looked up at her daughter. "Mingyue?"

Xu Mingyue smiled proudly. "This is our Xiao Yu's heartfelt gift — she spent a whole morning picking it out yesterday!"

Xu Mo Bai leaned in to touch it. "Wow, Great-grandma, this is warm jade!"

The people lined up behind Xu Mingyue and the others exchanged bewildered glances — a chessboard made of warm jade? What a lavish gesture!

Xu Weiran was a little jealous. "Xiao Yu, where's Great-grandpa's gift?"

Ji Yan squatted down, and Su Yu brought out the long box. "Happy New Year, Great-grandpa!"

"Ah, thank you, Xiao Yu!"

Xu Weiran opened it on the spot — it was an ancient painting depicting a spring scene. "How did Xiao Yu know I like paintings?"

Good night, darlings~
