Chapter 474 Chinese New Year
Shen Yanzhi did not actually believe Chen Jiazhi's words.
Predicting the future?
If Chen Jiazhi truly possessed such extraordinary abilities, she wouldn't have ended up behind bars.
However, seeing Chi Yu's rather wary and cautious reaction, Shen Yanzhi still nodded in agreement: "Okay."
He reached out and grasped Chi Yu's hand, his long, slender fingers pressing down slightly to intertwine with hers, his voice steady: "Don't be afraid, this won't happen. She said that on purpose, probably to make us uneasy."
The fact that Chen Jiazhi was willing to kill Chi Yu to silence her in order to gain the status of the Su family's daughter is enough to show her malice and intense jealousy.
Even if such a person is sent to prison, she will not truly realize her mistakes; she will only harbor resentment towards Chi Yu.
In Shen Yanzhi's view, Chen Jiazhi's words to Dean Zhang were nothing more than her futile revenge against Chi Yu out of incompetence.
If Chi Yuzhen feels uneasy because of her words, then she has fallen into Chen Jiazhi's trap.
Chi Yu understood the meaning behind Shen Yanzhi's words, and her tense emotions eased somewhat. She let out a breath: "You're right."
However, Chi Yu still took Chen Jiazhi's words to heart and seriously considered the matter of living with Shen Yanzhi.
She shook the hand that Shen Yanzhi was holding, her eyes bright and smiling: "Then shall we still live together?"
Shen Yanzhi's expression hardened. He gripped Chi Yu's hand tightly, pulling her into his arms as he leaned forward, pressing his tall frame against hers. He rested his smooth chin gently on Chi Yu's shoulder and nuzzled her affectionately: "What do I need to prepare?"
Before Chi Yu could get home, he said, "What household and personal care products do you like? We'll go buy them tomorrow."
Shen Yanzhi thought of the apartment he was currently living in, which had a cold and minimalist style. He hadn't thought much of it when he lived there alone, but when he thought about Chi Yu moving in, he suddenly felt sorry for her.
This time, he didn't mention a word about 'Chen Jiazhi's words being false'.
Chi Yu forced a smile to his lips, secretly laughing to himself.
Even after dropping Chi Yu off at the Su family home, Shen Yanzhi was still thinking about the two of them living together. Just before Chi Yu got out of the car, he casually said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow?"
Chi Yu looked confused: "Huh?"
Shen Yanzhi reminded him: "Buy something."
He kept a composed expression, not wanting Chi Yu to see his eagerness for this matter, lest she think he was some kind of person.
But in fact, his question, which was somewhat out of character for his usual calm demeanor, already revealed his urgency in this matter.
Chi Yu immediately realized what was going on and laughed, "There's no need to buy anything."
She's been visiting Shen Yanzhi quite a bit these past few days, so she knows what kind of person he is.
"When I move there, I will bring some of my usual items with me."
She probably doesn't have many things, just some clothes, bags, jewelry, and skincare products, plus her usual computer and some books.
"Okay, I'll help you move your things then." Shen Yanzhi's grip on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously. Only when he said this did he suddenly realize how much he was looking forward to living with Chi Yu.
Before meeting Chi Yu, Shen Yanzhi never imagined that one day he would accept another person without any resistance and completely integrate them into his private life.
But when it actually happened, he was somewhat impatient.
“Okay,” Chi Yu readily agreed. “However, the New Year is coming soon, so I probably won’t be moving to your place anytime soon.”
This is Chi Yu's first Spring Festival back with her family. The Su family members have been busy these days, their faces beaming with joy, clearly full of anticipation for this New Year with Chi Yu.
Chi Yu stayed home to celebrate the New Year with his parents and brothers.
Although Chi Yu was concerned about the news that Shen Yanzhi would have an accident, she remained rational.
According to Chen Jiazhi's words, Shen Yan must have had an accident after he got engaged to her in his previous life.
She and Shen Yanzhi haven't discussed engagement yet, so their relationship in their past lives must have progressed at a similar pace. For the time being, Shen Yanzhi is safe.
Hearing the words "cohabitation" from Chi Yu today was already an unexpected surprise for Shen Yanzhi.
Under the car's interior lights, the man's usually composed and reserved features seemed to melt away with warmth: "It's okay, anytime is fine."
-
Time flies, and it's already New Year's Eve.
Liang Mingshu gave the servants and housekeeper in the villa an early New Year's holiday, leaving only her family to enjoy the Spring Festival.
Following the national statutory holidays, Su Sheng Group gave all employees a day off on the 28th, and Su Zhengye and his son Su Chengyan finally had some free time.
Seeing the father and son playing chess, Liang Mingshu called Su Muyang, who was sprawled on the sofa playing on his phone, away. A moment later, Su Muyang came out of the room carrying a cardboard box.
He called out to Su Zhengye and Su Chengyan, "Dad, brother, we'll put up the Spring Festival couplets later."
"it is good."
"Ah."
The father and son responded in unison, and before the game was even over, they got up and walked straight toward Su Muyang.
When Su Chengyan saw what was inside the cardboard box, he was somewhat surprised: "So much?"
Even if the couplets are large, you only need two in your home.
The things in the cardboard box in front of him were colorful and looked like more than just couplets.
"This is nothing, there are still several boxes inside." Su Muyang said, quickly carrying out another large cardboard box from the room. The box was filled to the brim with various unopened New Year decorations.
These were all specially purchased by Su Muyang and Liang Mingshu a few days ago. They included not only couplets, but also some living room decorations and courtyard ornaments.
In addition, Su Muyang and Liang Mingshu also bought several potted plants that looked festive.
Su Chengyan raised an eyebrow and, together with Su Muyang, lifted the remaining two large cardboard boxes out of the room.
The cardboard box was full of decorations of all sizes. Su Chengyan reached out his slender hand, picked up the smallest package, and opened it. A delicate red lantern landed in his palm. He looked at it with his eyes down and said, "This little lantern is quite unique."
Su Muyang glanced at it and said, "This is for hanging on the orange tree outside."
In previous years, these decorations were actually the housekeeper's job.
The housekeeper would buy these items before the holidays each year and decorate them one by one.
Before Chi Yu returned, every Spring Festival was a new wound for Liang Mingshu and the others.
The thought of their daughter and sister suffering outside, their fate unknown, makes it impossible for them to enjoy their current life with peace of mind.
Now, Chi Yu has finally returned, and the family can finally happily reunite.
Liang Mingshu specifically instructed the housekeeper to leave the tasks of pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns, and decorating the courtyard to Su Zhengye and his two sons.
Su Muyang took out the large couplet from the pile, and said with great interest, "Brother, let's put it up from the inside out. Let's decorate the inside first, and then we'll do the outside."
Su Chengyan nodded: "Okay."
Su Zhengye walked to the gate, looked up at the height, and said, "I'll go get a ladder."
Then he asked Liang Mingshu, "Wife, do you know where the ladder is?"
Liang Mingshu said with a smile, "Let's go take a look at Old Liu's general storeroom."
Su Zhengye nodded and walked out.
A short while later, Su Zhengye brought over the ladder.
The father and his two sons began to circle around the boxes.
The mother and son bought many exquisite trinkets while shopping, scanning and paying for anything they saw that looked nice. Even though Su Muyang accompanied them the whole time, there were still some things he forgot where to hang them, and he would call out from time to time:
"Mom, where does this hang?"
"..."
"Mom? Are these two for the French windows?"
"..."
"mom……"
Liang Mingshu was just doing Chi Yu's hair upstairs when Su Muyang yelled "Mom!" at her several times.
Liang Mingshu initially responded patiently, but later, her brain was throbbing from being called so much that she didn't want to respond anymore.
Chi Yu chuckled to herself, "Come on, Mom, let's go down and help too."
Looking at her graceful daughter, Liang Mingshu smiled with satisfaction and praised, "So beautiful."
Looking at her exquisite reflection in the mirror, Chi Yu raised her hand and gently touched her braided hairstyle. "Mom, it's because of your good skills."
Ever since Chi Yu moved back, Liang Mingshu has taken a particular liking to braiding her hair.
Chi Yu has long, thick, black hair, which she usually wears loose or simply in a bun, but it looks different in Liang Mingshu's hands.
These usually unruly hairs were tamed by Liang Mingshu, and she could easily complete even the most complicated braids.
No one dislikes looking beautiful, and the huge box of hair accessories that Chi Yu recently bought is enough to prove how much she loves Liang Mingshu's braided hairstyles.
The mother and daughter walked down the stairs hand in hand.
Seeing the father and his two sons looking at the boxes of decorations with a sigh of relief, Liang Mingshu and Chi Yu smiled and stepped forward to help.
With the mother and daughter joining in, the originally slow-moving decoration project suddenly became much easier. Pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns, arranging small decorations... the contents of the box quickly decreased. Su Muyang watched as Chi Yu's fair fingers flew up and down, and in the blink of an eye, she smoothly smoothed the cute red stickers onto the wall.
Su Muyang's eyes lit up, and he gave her a thumbs up: "Sis, it has to be you!"
Looking at the festive courtyard and living room after the decorations were put together, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and warmth.
Su Muyang couldn't help but exclaim, "This is what Chinese New Year should feel like! I want every year to be like this!"
Su Chengyan nodded slightly: "Of course."
Chi Yu, who was standing next to him, was about to nod in agreement, but after hearing the second half of Su Muyang's sentence, Chi Yu paused slightly in her nodding motion.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't told her family about moving out to live with Shen Yanzhi.
A hint of guilt flashed across Chi Yu's eyes.
Let's wait until after the Chinese New Year to talk about it.
That evening, the family happily went out for New Year's Eve dinner.
