Chapter 550: Chapter 335: The Happiest Night

Tian’s father, who had been silent, spoke up, "If you don’t mind, why don’t you come home with us for the New Year!"

Tian’s mother’s mouth was agape. She had been complaining that the old man never involved himself in anything, and hadn’t even bothered with their daughter’s marriage matters, but little did she expect, when the old man did speak, it was startling.

Tang Baijin nodded and directly took the front passenger seat and got into the car.

All this while, Tian Xin was still in a daze, and Tang Baijin was already sitting in her car.

She stared blankly at this man, wondering why no one had asked for her opinion?

"Xinxin, start driving!" Tian’s mother was overjoyed.

Tian Xin drove the car towards their home.

After returning home, Tian Xin went to help in the kitchen, while Tang Baijin sat with Tian’s father playing chess. The house felt joyously lively after a long time, an atmosphere Tian Xin could hardly bear to disrupt, not wanting to upset her parents.

After a while, Tang Baijin stepped out to the courtyard to smoke.

Tian Xin went out to throw away some vegetable leaves and approached him, "Thank you for giving my parents a joyous New Year!"

"Is that all you wanted to say?" Tang Baijin exhaled a ring of smoke and said indifferently, "I should thank your parents for picking me up to celebrate New Year at home, otherwise I’d be wandering on the streets alone!"

Tian Xin was amused by his comment, "You make it sound so pitiful, who would believe that!"

Tang Baijin gazed at her. Since she had been helping in the kitchen, her face was very flushed. He then said, "Are you implying I should go back out to the streets?"

"Not at all!" Tian Xin gave him a look, "Also, there’s another thing..."

"Let’s hear it!" Tang Baijin was straightforward, "You’re not one to beat around the bush, just tell me anything you want."

Tian Xin nodded, "My parents mean something else, please be understanding..."

"Something else?" Tang Baijin raised his distinct eyebrows. "What does that mean?"

Tian Xin stomped on his foot hard, "Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed, they are treating you like a son-in-law? Don’t go along with their intentions!"

After saying that, she went back into the kitchen carrying a platter.

Tang Baijin watched his cigarette burn to the end, he threw the stub on the ground, stepped on it to extinguish it, and, looking at the shoe print Tian Xin left on his shoe, he said nothing and returned to the living room to continue chatting and playing chess with Tian’s father.

Gu Family Manor.

Ji Su was surprised to have a New Year’s Eve dinner with Gu Yaowan and Gu Yucheng; she couldn’t believe it when Gu Yucheng had called her to join them for the New Year’s countdown.

Upon seeing Ji Su, Gu Yaowan was thrilled, although her face still showed tear streaks.

"Mom, mom, why did you come so late..." Gu Yaowan rushed into her arms.

"I’m sorry, mom was busy, Wanwan, I’m sorry..." Ji Su gently wiped her daughter’s tear streaks from her face, "No more crying, it was my fault, let’s be happy today, okay?"

Gu Yaowan joyfully held Ji Su and Gu Yucheng’s hands, keeping them close by her side.

Ji Su sneakily glanced at Gu Yucheng. His expression was calm, showing no signs of the immense anger he had shown her last time. Despite feeling terrified of his sudden change, being able to spend the New Year with her daughter stopped her from overthinking.

Throughout the evening, Gu Yucheng was extremely affectionate towards his daughter. Gu Yaowan was very happy, and Ji Su often took care of Gu Yaowan, cherishing the rare moment of the family being together again.

When Gu Yaowan was full and watching fireworks from the window, Ji Su wanted to join her, but then Gu Yucheng spoke, "I called you because Wanwan was crying for you. Ji Su, you must have taught her these tricks, how can you bear to hurt a child barely over five years old?"

Ji Su didn’t dare speak. She truly hadn’t taught Gu Yaowan anything like that; she was even ready to give up. A conversation with Lu Xiao had inspired her; she and Gu Yucheng were both people lacking love, only hurting each other when together.

But Gu Yucheng truly loved Wanwan, so she didn’t want to fight anymore!

Even that very night of the New Year, she had planned to spend it alone, but the call from Gu Yucheng had filled her with immense joy. She even thought, as long as he allowed her to see Gu Yaowan, she was willing to do anything he asked.

Therefore, at that moment, she decided not to argue anymore when Gu Yucheng accused her.

Seeing that Ji Su remained silent, Gu Yucheng said, "In the future, don’t go to Lu Xiao for anything, come to me directly!"
