Fu Qi angrily spoke, âZiyang, your Uncle Huo was originally mine, until your aunt suddenly appeared and stole him from me. If it hadnât been for her, your Uncle Huo could have been your uncle. Do you understand?â
ââ¦â Fu Ziyang remained silent.
âYou should not listen to everything your aunt tells you. That woman is quite crafty! Ziyang? Ziyang?â
Fu Qi shouted several times, but all she heard was Fu Ziyangâs snoring.
Was he really asleep?
Fu Qi closed her eyes in irritation.
How long has this little scamp known Su Wanwan?
How could he be so quick to switch his loyalty?
What kind of fox-like charm did Su Wanwan use?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Brother Jingshen sides with her!
And now, even Fu Ziyang is doing the same!
Itâs just infuriating!

Next door.
Huo Jingshen gave his wife a speechless look as she sat on the bed, with five red packets in front of her, which she was opening one by one.
First, she opened the red packet from old Master Huo.
âGrandpa gave me a New Yearâs gift of 8,888 RMB!â
Then she opened the red packet from old Madame Huo.
âWow, also 8,888 RMB, and a bank card!â Su Wanwan was shocked.
Even though she didnât know how much money was on the card⦠thereâs a bank card!
At least it should start at 100,000, right?
The thoughtful old lady even provided the password.
âGrandma is so good to me!â
It must be because she noticed how harsh a certain person was on her during the mahjong game, only giving her 3,000 thumb money each month, so she secretly gave her a bank card.
Grandma, you really are my sweet grandma!
Su Wanwan wanted to rush next door and give the old lady a big hug!
She was so moved that she was on the verge of tears.
Huo Jingshen gripped his hand as he looked at his wifeâs shameless expression⦠it really was beyond words.
Then, Su Wanwan successively looked at the red packets from Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu.
The couple also gave 8,888 RMB each, probably the elders all decided on this amount, aiming for a good and lucky start.
Finally, Su Wanwan solemnly picked up the red packet from Huo Jingshen, âNow, itâs time to test you!â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
Su Wanwan opened up the red packet and pulled out a stack of RMB bills.
She exploded instantly, âDidnât we agree on 10,000 RMB?â
Not even counting, the thickness clearly wasnât that of 10,000!
Such a cheapskate.
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, âWhy donât you count, sweetheart?â
âWhy donât you just tell me directly?â
âDonât you love counting money the most, sweetheart?â
Su Wanwan: ââ¦â
As if she is a mini tycoon!
Su Wanwan huffed twice and began counting the money.
A hundred, two hundred, three hundredâ¦
Yum, smells good.
Finally, she finished counting. Su Wanwan frowned, âWhy is it not 10,000!â
âNew Yearâs money is meant to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety. Why do you need so much?â Huo Jingshen said seriously.
âWho are you fooling?â Su Wanwan put away all the money.
âArenât you curious why itâs 7777?â
âWhy?â Su Wanwan inquisitively asked.
âBecause⦠Ride, Ride, Ride, Rideâ¦â
âWhat do you mean?â Su Wanwan still didnât understand.
âYouâll find out later, sweetheart.â After hinting, Huo Jingshen headed towards the bathroom after closing the bedroom door, âIâll go fill up the bath.â
âWait a minute!â Su Wanwan suddenly called out to him.
âWhat now?â
Su Wanwan rubbed her little hands together, wearing a somewhat flattering smile, âItâs New Yearâs day, can I have a little drink?â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
That girl.
Is her alcohol addiction so strong?
âI was too shy to drink just now, only had two to three sips, yet the wine was really nice.â After saying this, Su Wanwan leapt from the bed and swayed Huo Jingshenâs arm back and forth, âHubby, can you please go downstairs and sneak a couple of bottles of wine back?â
Huo Jingshen again: ââ¦â
âCome on, hubby, hubby, hubby, please hubbyâ¦â
Each plea softer and sweeter than the last.
A movement flickered in Huo Jingshenâs eyes, âOkay.â
âIâll keep an eye out for you!â Su Wanwan immediately ran over, opened the bedroom door, looked left and right, and gestured deceitfully, âQuick, thereâs no one in the hallway.â
Huo Jingshen: ââ¦â
Itâs his own home, just going downstairs to get a bottle of wine. Why so sneaky?
âHurry up!â Su Wanwan urged.
Before Huo Jingshen left, she reminded him, âBe careful, donât let grandma and grandpa find out. I canât destroy my good daughter-in-law image!â
âMm-hmm.â Huo Jingshen replied casually and walked out of the room.
Su Wanwan immediately closed the bedroom door, went back and carefully stashed away the money from the red packets.
She was scared that after he returned he might confiscate it, so she hid all the money in the innermost part of her bag.
Now, he wonât be able to find it, right?
At last, she dodged a bullet!
As for Huo Jingshen.
As soon as he got downstairs, he found Huo Nuanyang still sitting on the living room sofaâ¦watching the Spring Festival Gala?
Hearing the noise, Huo Nuanyang turned his head and nodded in greeting, âBrother.â
Huo Jingshen also nodded gracefully before heading toward the dining room.
Butâ¦
The bottles of red wine that were originally in the cabinet were gone.
He had no choice but to walk out again, âNuanyang, do you know where the dining roomâs red wine was put?â
Huo Nuanyang said, âI donât know, maybe ask Aunt Xiu?â
There were only two housekeepers staying over for the New Year. After tidying up, they went back to their rooms to rest and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Huo Jingshen didnât want to disturb them, so he said, âIâll go check in the kitchen.â
