"Hehe, I bought it when I was shopping with big sister Su Man. Did it look good?"

"It's nice, but …" It's a bit too short, can you change it? " Ling Qiao took a long down jacket that covered his knees from the wardrobe, "This one will keep you warm, let's change into this one." He had to cover her thin, straight legs, not attract the pervert's attention.

Shu Shu picked up the clothes and compared them. "No, it's covered my skirt. It's too long."

"It's cold outside, aren't I afraid you'll freeze?"

"No, my pantyhose are thicker, it's not cold at all." Shu Shu put on the rainbow scarf Ling Qiao gave her, "Is it compatible? Does it look good? "

Ling Qiao had no choice but to make an appointment with Chen Jia Qian for dinner, but could not be late either. "Yes, my wife is the most beautiful person in the world."

"Hehehe, your mouth is so sweet!" ShuShu held onto Ling Qiao's arm, tiptoeing to narrow the gap between their height, "Then am I worthy of you?"

Ling Qiao bent down and kissed her lightly on the cheek, saying teasingly, "I am worthy. Do you want me to walk with my back bent?"

"Haha, good, good."

"Let's go, we should wait for us."

"Mm, let's go."

There were only a few tables inside the restaurant. On the first day of the new year, there were fewer people eating outside, but the price of the dishes had increased by quite a bit.

With Ling Qiao on his arm, Shu Shu followed him to the reserved room. Chen Jiaxi was already there.

"Deputy Station Head, did you wait too long? "Sorry, we're late."

"No, I just arrived too." Seeing that the two of them were still so intimate, Chen Jiaxi also let out a sigh of relief. He looked behind them and asked, "Are there any reporters coming?"

"No, I was very careful."

After taking his seat, Chen Jiaxian took out a red and white packet from his suit pocket, "Here, this is your red packet. It's your year-end bonus."

Shu Shu was surprised and delighted at the same time. She asked in disbelief, "You gave it to me?" My year-end bonus? "No way, Deputy Station Head, I'm already taking leave from work, what kind of year-end bonus is this …" She guessed that it must have been Ling Qiao's idea. "Did you receive someone's threat and give me a red packet from your own pocket?"

Ling Qiao immediately retorted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't say anything about me. I really didn't interfere. Do we even need your year-end bonus?"

Chen Jiqian pushed the red packet in front of her, "Take it. According to the number of days you spent in class, you won't have much money left to work, and those colleagues who didn't take a leave from work will get more rewards. This is considered very little for you."

"Really?" Shu Shu held the red packet. It wasn't very thick, maybe two or three thousand, but she was very satisfied with it.

Seeing her happy expression, Ling Qiao said, "Someone got a big red packet on the first day of the new year, shouldn't someone treat you to a meal?"

Shushuang quickly said, "No problem, I'll buy you this meal."

As soon as the waiter brought the menu over, ShuShu didn't dare to make a sound. Usually, dishes here were expensive, but during the new year, the price of the dishes had simply doubled.

Furthermore, these two men were both gluttons. They wouldn't eat the best of the best. How could her small reward be enough for them to eat?!

Ling Qiao reached out and stroked her head, "Keep your red packet, where do I need you to pay for it?"

"Hehe, husband understands me the best." Shu Shu put the red packet into her bag.

"Ning type Eel Silk, Scented Duck, Sour Vegetable Fish …" You guys can order the rest. "

Chen Jiaxi said teasingly, "I've ordered all of your husband's favorite dishes, and you're bullying me alone, aren't you?"

Ling Qiao reached out and hugged Shu Shu. "That's right, I want you to see the benefits of marrying a wife. Hurry up and find one."

The waiter wrote the menu and said, "Are the pickled fish the head fish or the black fish?"

"Hei Yu."

"Hei Yu needs you guys to go to the small pond at the front desk to take a look."

"Alright, I'll go."

Shu Shu followed the waiter out of the room. Chen Jiaxi's face turned serious and said seriously, "How could there be such a piece of news?" You and my younger cousin should also avoid suspicion. Furthermore, Ling Qiao, if you truly have feelings for Shu Shu, then you shouldn't be so entangled with my younger cousin anymore. "

Ling Qiao hurriedly explained, "Jia Qian, even you misunderstood me. I really didn't mean it that way, and my legs are not good enough for me. I only hugged her as a friend. As for that hug, it was purely a parting hug; it was made up by the reporters."

"Ai, I think so too, but everyone else doesn't think so. A lot of people believe that the rebirth of your relationship just by looking at the headlines. Do you want to remain silent this time around?"

Ling Qiao shook his head. "I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep my mouth shut. The tenth day will be a press conference, and I will bring Shu Shu along to face the reporters while also clarifying this news." This kind of report was also a form of harm to Tang and Qing.

Chen Jiqian asked tentatively, "I see that your relationship with Shu is really different now, but what about your relationship with Qing?"

"Nothing much, all we can say is that we are fated to be. We're fine. She said she's leaving, she's gone, and I'm still waiting for her. She came back, but I'm already married … Ah, if I hadn't married, I would have married her, but there is no 'if' in life, so we can never get back together. I just want this disturbance to pass quickly so that ShuShu can confidently stand by my side as the wife of the Ling family. "

"Gedeng." Chen Jia Qian's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, Ling Qiao's reply was just as he had thought, but it was still unfair to her. As her cousin, he felt pity for her, "Then have you thought about it before, again …" The reason she left three years ago, is it possible, perhaps, that it wasn't for the ballet? "

Ling Qiao, "Jia Qian, how do you talk so much today? I will not answer this hypothetical question. "

Chen Jia Qian pursed his lips and smiled, "Hur hur, I was waiting until I was hungry, it's nothing …"

"Shushu, why did you pick a fish for so long?" After not seeing his for even a moment, Ling Qiao felt like he was his little lovely wife.

ShuShu picked a black fish that weighed about two catties and said, "Don't make the pickled fish too spicy. Just spicy it will do. Thank you." It was time to stop. No matter how much you liked spicy dishes, you had to endure it.

"Oh, isn't that Shu Shu?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Shu Shu turned around and saw Zhang Lin and Liu Ziye walking towards them, followed by Liu Yao and Liu Rui. The family was out for a meal.

The smile on Shu Shu's face froze. Seeing them reminded her of her dead mother. Her slightly healed wound was torn apart once again.

Zhang Lin, wearing a leopard-print fur coat, gave off a noble aura. She put on heavy makeup and arrogantly looked at ShuShu, "What a coincidence! I met you here, how could you run around? What if you were recognized by someone or caught by the reporters?"

Seeing Zhang Lin's angry expression, Shu Shu turned around to leave. Since it was the first of the new year, she had no intention of bickering with Zhang Lin.

"Wait …" Zhang Lin smiled and said, "I heard your mother passed away from illness, but I saw you dressed up so well, so I didn't feel sad at all. Or do you think you can relax after getting rid of your mother's burden?"

"You …" Shu Shu gritted her teeth, feeling even more bitter. Yes, if I didn't wear a red dress, Zhang Lin wouldn't have been attracted to me, right? But, Mom really liked me to wear red. She said that if I wore red, it would look the best, so Mom wouldn't bother with me.

Liu Ziye pulled at Zhang Lin and scolded her in a low voice, "Stop it, why are you saying this in front of the kids?"

ShuShu smiled in disdain. In his heart, he was worried about Liu Yao and Liu Rui, his precious children. This was good as well. Anyway, she had long since stopped treating him as her father.

Zhang Lin hit Liu Ziye's hand, her voice was even louder than his, "So what if I tell you?" Am I not ashamed? When everyone was playing mahjong, they all asked me what had happened between your husband and that woman, and what had happened between you and the Ling family. It has already affected Rui and Rui Yao. Fortunately, they were at home during the holidays. If it was in school, the children would not even be able to lift their heads and be able to act like people. "

Shu Shu smiled lightly and said, "You can't live with your own sins. You were the one who created this. You can't blame anyone else. "My mom died. When she was alive, she didn't do anything to you, but after she dies, she will definitely watch over you."

Zhang Lin felt a chill on her back and quickly moved closer to Liu Ziye. Looking around, she waved her hand and said, "Don't scare people, if it weren't for us, would you have married into the Ling Family? If you are divorced, you can also get a share of the alimony.

Shu Shu sighed. It was really boring to argue with her. Previously, she still wanted to fight for her mother over something, but now that she was gone, it was meaningless. When she looked at Liu Ziye again, he did not look well. Her hair was already gray at the temples, and the wrinkles on her forehead had also grown a lot. It was probably because of the company's pressure.

ShuShu ignored Zhang Lin and Liu Ziye, forcing out a stiff smile as she looked at the two little girls. "Yaoyao, happy new year. You'll have to study hard to grow a year during the new year." Liu Rui, you too. Happy New Year. " I don't know Liu Rui well, but a New Year congratulation is always polite.

Liu Yao smiled as she took out some chocolates from her pocket. "Sis, happy new year, this is for you."

"Thank you …"

Before she could finish her words of thanks, Zhang Lin reached out to Liu Yao's hand. "What are you giving her? It's something from our house. Don't even give it to her if you want to feed a dog."

Liu Yao retracted her hand and timidly looked at her mother, "Mom, why are you like this?"

Two chocolates were lying on the ground. The sink was very wet, and the muddy water had splashed onto the candy wrapper. The chocolate inside was probably broken as well.

Liu Rui chuckled, then quickly covered his mouth and gloated.

ShuShu leisurely bent down to pick up the chocolate, directly using her hands to wipe the muddy water on the candy paper, "Yaoyao, elder sister has it, you can keep it for yourself to eat." She handed the chocolate back to Liu Yao. Sometimes, a momentary victory over her had not won her respect or understanding. Liu Yao was a big child, and she knew what was right and what was wrong.

Liu Yao whispered, "Sis, I'm sorry."

Zhang Lin swore at him. "Who are you talking to? Apologize to me! It's the new year! Are you Zhang Lin's daughter? Who do you think you are?" "Zhang Lin was furious. She couldn't stand to talk back to ShuShu, so she vented her anger on her own daughter. Since her daughter was hers, it didn't matter how much she scolded her." How did Mom tell you, she is her, we are us, she is an illegitimate daughter that cannot be exposed, and is the shame of our Liu family, and you still call her Sis?! "

Zhang Lin scolded loudly. All the customers in the hall turned to look, and the passersby outside slowed down their steps to look inside.
