Rebirth: War on the Honest

"5.4.3.2.1..."

"Happy New Year!"

As the four hosts gave their New Year's greetings in unison, the roar of outdoor firecrackers and fireworks also sounded at the same time.

"Happy New Year~"

After the two families wished each other a Happy New Year, Gu Yun, who is wealthy and free, once again received red envelopes from his elders.

"Thank you dad."

"Thank you Uncle Zhong."

"Aunt...isn't this appropriate?"

Gu Yun accepted the big red envelope from Gu Youwei and Zhong Xingbang with peace of mind. He looked at the red envelope handed over by Ning Jiayu and hesitated for a moment.

I just borrowed money from your family a few days ago. What does it mean to give me a red envelope?

"One code equals another, just keep it and treat our family well."

Ning Jiayu turned her head and looked around, then explained to Gu Yun in a low voice.

"Thank you, auntie."

Gu Yun was not polite. For most people, the New Year's red envelope is not about the number, but the picture is a celebration.

"Uncle Gu~ Happy New Year! I wish you a successful career in the new year and always smile!"

Compared to Gu Yun's coyness, the generous Zhong Leyi is much more straightforward.

As soon as the timer ended on the hour, she ran to Gu Youwei and sent her first New Year's greeting with a smile.

"Here, Lele, take it. Uncle Gu also wishes you a Happy New Year."

Gu Youwei took out a big red envelope that looked several times thicker than Gu Yun's and handed it to his future daughter-in-law with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Gu. I'll go to the back room and make a video call to Aunt Huo to say New Year greetings. Hurry up. After the New Year greetings, we'll go out to set off fireworks and then come back to eat dumplings."

Zhong Leyi, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, pushed open the door with one hand and placed the fireworks bag that had been prepared on the table with the other hand. A silver bell-like voice urged Gu Yun.

Every Chinese New Year, she is the first girl to go to Gu Yun's community and drag Gu Yun out to set off fireworks.

"Okay, okay, you go ahead and make a video call, I'll wait for you."

As a time manager who has been involved in several tasks for a long time, at the critical moment of the end of the year, my other two girlfriends and confidantes, even if they are not with me, always need a bowl of water to bless me.

The New Year's greetings haven't been sent out at 12 o'clock sharp. How can I rush to ask him out at this time?

In the past, Gu Yun could delay at his own home for a while, but today it was obviously a bit difficult.

After his wealth and social status increased, Gu Yun left most of the business entertainment to his assistant He Xuan. Only a small number of relationships that also required careful maintenance required Gu Yun to personally handle it.

Important relationships can be called to say New Year greetings in front of the elders, but what about your girlfriend?

Seeing that Zhong Leyi hadn't come out yet, he could only find an excuse, hide in the bathroom, and reply to WeChat and voice messages one after another.

"The number you dialed is currently on a call, please call again later..."

"Didi didi..."

After replying to the New Year greeting messages from his confidants in one go, and sending each of them a big red envelope, Gu Yun tried to make a few calls, but couldn't get through at the first time.

what's going on?

Hua Shiyuan didn't answer the phone, and she didn't know who she was talking to.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ju's line was also busy.

If you don’t wish your boyfriend New Year’s greetings at this time, who should you call?

Gu Yun looked at the watch on his wrist. It took a little long to enter the bathroom. He could only send a voice blessing to his two girlfriends who didn't answer the phone, then pressed the flush button and walked out of the house.

Looking around, Zhong Leyi's room is still quiet. She hasn't come out yet?

He knocked on the door and saw the girl lying on the single bed with a phone in one hand, her legs crossed together, her fragile skin shining dazzlingly under the incandescent lamp.

"You haven't finished celebrating the New Year yet?"

Gu Yun asked.

"No, Auntie's side seems a little busy. The line is always busy. I've called several times."

Zhong Leyi bit her lip and couldn't figure out the whole story.

"Then let's set off the fireworks first and then give her a shot when we come back. Anyway, you'll get the new year's money, so don't worry."

Upon hearing Zhong Leyi's words, Gu Yun seemed to understand something.

The line here is busy, the line there is also busy, it turns out...

I wish my mother-in-law a happy New Year, but I didn’t get to be the first one!

"Isn't it good? It's too late to send New Year's greetings to my aunt."

Zhong Leyi frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Let's go, let's go. What if she can't finish it in a while? It's not like she doesn't know that we are celebrating the New Year together. Let's go set them off quickly. We bought so many fireworks a few days ago, don't waste them."

Gu Yun smiled and held the girl's hand to comfort her.

"Okay, hurry up, hurry up."

Zhong Leyi stood up and slipped her bare feet into her flip-flops again.

...

"Lele, it's time to eat dumplings."

Gorgeous fireworks continued to bloom over the villa. When I got home, steaming dumplings were already placed on the table.

After finishing this meal of dumplings, the New Year's Day officially begins.

"Wait a minute~ You guys eat first!"

After the two set off fireworks outside the villa, Zhong Leyi, who was still thinking about New Year greetings, went back to the room.

Even though they had to stay up late during the New Year, the two families, who always had a healthy schedule, did not have the habit of staying up all night. The elders ate dumplings and played mahjong for a while before going back to rest.

During this period, Gu Yuncai finally found a chance to sneak back into the room and answered the phone that kept vibrating.

"Happy New Year, baby, why didn't you answer the phone just now?"

"I wanted to give New Year greetings to Aunt Huo. She even gave me a big red envelope."

A soft and waxy voice sounded from the other end of the microphone, it was Wen Jue.

"So much? She is so generous. She has never given me so much in her whole life, and even more so this year. She just sent it away on WeChat."

Even the generous Gu Yun was shocked when he heard the number of the red envelope given by Huo Yan to Wen Jue.

According to my mother's grand method of giving red envelopes, if I give three of the same amount, there won't be much left in this year's year-end bonus, right?

"There's nothing I can do. Who told my aunt to love me?"

The girl giggled, obviously very happy.

"By the way, my mother won't be celebrating the New Year in Hangzhou this year, so you don't need to come over to see me."

While chatting, Wen Jue seemed to think of something and suddenly interrupted.

"Why?"

Gu Yun asked curiously.

"Aren't you celebrating the New Year with your uncle in Sanya?"

Wen Jue asked back.

"It's true that I'm in Sanya, but it doesn't stop me from visiting you..."

"No need, I bought a plane ticket for the second grade of junior high school to go to Liaocheng to pay New Year greetings to my aunt and bring her some small gifts."

Wen Jue on the other end of the phone spoke in a brisk tone, wondering what he and Huo Yan were talking about.

"ah?"

Gu Yun was startled after hearing this. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted again by Wen Jue.

"The main focus of the Chinese New Year is a sense of ritual. Visiting aunt is more important, so you don't have to be in a hurry to come back."

The girl paused for a moment: "I've asked before. Auntie feels lonely during the Chinese New Year in Liaocheng. I'll go and accompany her. In fact, I can do it with or without you."
