Chapter 321 - 291: Straight Man’s Thinking_2
When Shen Yunsong’s wife slapped the table, his body jolted with a shiver, his smile froze abruptly, and he timidly shrank his neck, not daring to glance at Nie Peirong. He obediently put down his wine glass, slowly pushed the bottle of wine away, embarrassedly retracted his hand, and bowed his head in silence.Seeing them like this, Cen Jin couldn’t help but laugh. It seems both the Shen Family and the Jiang Family have a common problem; they’re afraid of their wives!
"Alright, stop talking. They’re just happy, it’s the New Year. Let’s help Bai Zhou and Xiang Chen to their rooms to rest. It’s uncomfortable for them to lie like this." Ms. Qin smiled and got up, waving her hand as she spoke. With that, she walked between Jiang Baizhou and Shen Xiangchen.
Only then did Cen Jin, Miss Yu Hui, and Nie Peirong get up and walk over. Nie Peirong and Ms. Qin helped Shen Xiangchen, while Cen Jin and Miss Yu Hui supported Jiang Baizhou, heading upstairs and next door to the villa, leaving only Jiang Yuyang and Shen Yunsong at the dining table. Seeing the women leave, the two exchanged a smile, raised their unfinished glasses of wine, gently clinked them, and drank, then began picking at the food in their bowls.
Back in the room, Miss Yu Hui smiled and asked, "Cen Jin, have you eaten well?"
"Yes, I’ve eaten well."
"Then stay here and take care of Bai Zhou! Don’t go over there. Your mom and aunt and I will clean up. It’s rare for him to drink too much once; just wipe him down with hot water. I’ll cook some hangover soup later so they won’t feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night."
"Okay, thank you, mom."
"What’s so tiring about that? It’s you who will have to take care of Bai Zhou."
"It’s fine, it’s my duty."
After Miss Yu Hui left, Cen Jin took a deep breath, bent down to take off his shoes, went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water, wrung out a towel, and wiped the sweat off his body.
On the morning of the New Year’s Day, Jiang Baizhou’s breakfast consisted of two buns and a bowl of hangover soup, accompanied by a glare from Miss Yu Hui. Jiang Yuyang didn’t fare much better; he too received quite a few glares from Miss Yu Hui, making them the unfortunate father and son pair at the table.
After breakfast, the two went next door to pay New Year’s respects to Ms. Qin, which earned them a big red envelope from Miss Nie Peirong. Cen Jin initially didn’t want to accept it, as she was an adult, already married, but Nie Peirong insisted, saying that pushing and shoving wasn’t appropriate at New Year’s, so Cen Jin reluctantly accepted. Ms. Qin on the side agreed, saying Nie Peirong spoiled Cen Jin too much and still treated her like a child.
On the second day of the New Year, Cen Jin specifically went to visit Ye Lingran and Yu Feici’s houses. Since Lu Shishu didn’t go home for the New Year, Cen Jin only made a video call. Yun Xi went out on New Year’s Eve, so she just sent a WeChat message to say hello.
On the third day, Jiang Yuyang fulfilled his earlier promise to take Miss Yu Hui on a trip, merely informing Cen Jin without bothering with Jiang Baizhou. Later, when Jiang Baizhou called to inquire, he hadn’t finished speaking before Miss Yu Hui hung up on him, and afterward, she even blocked him.
Cen Jin tried hard to stifle a laugh and comforted him, patting his shoulder: "Maybe mom doesn’t want to be disturbed. She finally gets to go out and have fun with dad, so let’s leave them be!"
Angrily, Jiang Baizhou tossed his phone onto the sofa, looking at Cen Jin with eyes full of grievance. Cen Jin, unable to bear it, opened her arms and gave him a loving hug.
On the eighth day, Cen Jin’s studio and Jiang Baizhou’s consulting room officially opened. Cen Jin specially prepared red envelopes for Liu Zhiyan and the others, whereas things were different at Jiang Baizhou’s consulting room. Lu Xize prepared red envelopes for Wei Xuan and Lang Jing, adding to the joy and atmosphere!
It’s normal for the boss to give red envelopes to employees.
But Wei Xuan and Lang Jing waited for more than an hour, and Jiang Baizhou, who sat in the office, showed no reaction. In the end, the two couldn’t bear it any longer. When they saw Jiang Baizhou coming out to pour water, they immediately stepped forward to block his path, their faces beaming like the sun in spring, almost writing ’want red envelope’ on their foreheads.
However, Jiang Baizhou lifted his eyes coldly, squinting at them with full coldness, making them inexplicably apprehensive, and just as they were prepared to back off, they heard Jiang Baizhou’s indifferent voice: "Wei Xuan, the files I asked you to prepare before the holiday, I just checked, and they’re all wrong. Take them back to revise. I need it by the end of the day."
