Xu Zhengyang was dazed from the slap. After a while, he came back to his senses. “No, I didn’t make her drink anything. Isn’t she perfectly…”

Halfway through his sentence, Tian Fanghua hit him on the head again. “Don’t lie to me! I don’t care if you’re fooling around every day, but you can’t drag Jiaojiao into your messes! Is this how an older brother should act?”

When Xu Zhengyang saw Xu Jiaojiao, he hurriedly looked at her for help. After all, she was the only one who could stop Madam Tian at a time like this.

Xu Jiaojiao, on the other hand, sat down on the sofa. Her pretty face was gloomy as she left her brother at their mother and left him in the lurch.

In the end, the “battle” only ended when Mrs. Xu went downstairs.

During breakfast, Xu Zhengyang sat next to Xu Jiaojiao and whispered through gritted teeth, “You’re really something. How could you just watch me get beaten up?”

Xu Jiaojiao’s lips suddenly pursed into a flat line. “Qi Shenbai’s phone is off, and he’s not replying to my messages.”

Xu Zhengyang was stunned for a moment. He had had a few girlfriends before, so he knew very well how upset a lovestruck girl would get when he did not pick up her calls or reply to her messages. He immediately threw the matter from this morning to the back of his mind. “Come on, he has so many family members, and he’s the head of the family. On New Year’s Eve, he abandoned so many people in his family to look for you. Don’t you think he should give those people an explanation once he gets back?”

Xu Jiaojiao finally understood. “Oh, I see!”

“Now you get it.” Xu Zhengyang patted Xu Jiaojiao’s head. “Don’t let your imagination run wild all the time. Go and have breakfast.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded just as Tian Fanghua walked in on them. “Xu Zhengyang, why are you hitting your sister? Just eat your breakfast!”

“Huh?” Xu Zhengyang was befuddled. Since when did he hit her? “Tell me the truth. I’m not actually your biological son, am 1?”

“You only just realized?” Tian Fanghua pretended to be surprised.

Xu Zhengyang rolled his eyes.

There seemed to be no place for him in this family anymore.

Old Madam Xu smiled as she watched the mother and son bicker.

Xu Jiaojiao grinned too.

The entire family shared a warm, hearty laugh.

On New Year’s morning, many people came to visit Old Madam Xu. Xu Jiaojiao did not want to meet her relatives, so she withdrew into the studio to draw.

However, after drawing for a few minutes, she would pick up her phone to take a look. There was no reply from WeChat, nor were there any calls on her phone…

Worried that she would disturb him, Xu Jiaojiao did not continue to call him.

Throughout the entire day, Xu Jiaojiao was in a daze. However, Qi Shenbai did not reply to her messages even until nighttime.

Xu Jiaojiao really could not stand this kind of torture. She could not help but send a message to Qi Yunduo, who had added her on WeChat last time.

Jiaojiao: [Qi Yunduo, are you with Qi Shenbai now?]

As soon as the message was sent, Xu Jiaojiao saw that Qi Yunduo was typing. After about six minutes, she received a reply.

Cloudy Qi: [My brother went to visit his mother for the New Year. Don’t worry. He’ll reply to your messages once he’s done with his stuff over there.]

He was visiting his mother for the New Year?

The more Xu Jiaojiao looked at this sentence, the stranger it felt. Just as she was about to send another message, a call came in.

It was from Great Philanthropist Qi.

She immediately picked up the call happily, her voice audibly filled with joy. “Are you done now?”

There was no sound on the other end of the line.

Xu Jiaojiao asked in confusion, “Qi Shenbai…?”

“Yes,” Qi Shenbai said, but his voice was a little hoarse for no reason. “You picked up the call so quickly. Have you been waiting for my call?”

Xu Jiaojiao did not deny it. “You left without waiting for me this morning, and you didn’t reply to my messages. Even when I called you, your phone was turned off. Of course I was worried about you.”

“I had something on, so I left in a hurry.” Qi Shenbai’s deep voice sounded in her ear through the phone’s speakers. “Did you not look under the pillow?” “Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao was a little confused. “My pillow?”

“Look under your pillow.”

Xu Jiaojiao followed his instructions and turned her pillow upside down, only to find a beautiful red packet.

When she picked it up, she realized that the red packet was quite thick.

“Did you put it there secretly?”

“Happy New Year, my little girl.”

Xu Jiaojiao felt as if her ears had gone numb after hearing that sentence. She could not help but smile as she said, “You don’t have to give me a red packet. My grandmother and the others have already given me some New Year’s money..”
