Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 363 The grudges of wealthy families

Seeing that Zeng Wenjie hadn't received a single red envelope, Mu Qingyang felt quite sorry for him.

Seeing her serious expression, Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and patted her head, saying, "Silly you, you should save your own money and not give it to others."

Mu Qingyang then shouted, "We're on the same side!"

Zeng Wenjie paused for a moment, then suppressed a laugh and said, "Yes, yes, we're on the same side! Please save all your money and when I'm down on my luck, bravely step forward and support me."

"Great!" Mu Qingyang immediately perked up upon hearing this. "Then when will you go bankrupt?"

Zeng Wenjie thought Mu Qingyang probably hoped even more from Cao Feng that he would go bankrupt as soon as possible?!

But the next moment, she blushed and said thoughtfully, "It won't work if you go bankrupt, otherwise Grandpa Xie definitely won't allow me to come back with you for the New Year."

Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Xie Jiu's cold, sullen face.

The reason Xie Jiu made an exception for her this time was largely due to Mu Qingyang. She displayed a rebellious and aggressive attitude that was inconsistent with her usual behavior, preferring to get hurt rather than give up.

Another small part of the reason is that Zeng Wenjie achieved a lot this year, which made Xie Jiu, an old guy who had seen countless talents in Yanjing, somewhat admire him.

Otherwise, Mu Qingyang would definitely have been dragged back to Jiangnan this year, and then spent a boring and lonely New Year.

"Don't worry! Fortune changes every thirty years, never underestimate a young man's potential! By this time next year, Ninth Master will have to apologize to me on the spot." Zeng Wenjie sneered in an exaggeratedly arrogant tone.

"You'd better be careful he doesn't break your leg and you won't be able to get up from the ground," Mu Qingyang whispered.

As they were talking, Grandma called everyone to eat breakfast.

The food was leftovers from yesterday's New Year's Eve dinner. We won't cook anything today; we'll just heat up the leftovers and that'll be enough for the day.

After the meal, Zeng Wenjie immediately took Mu Qingyang to his maternal grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings.

He stepped out the door and then felt Mu Qingyang's fingers poking at the back of his hand. So, as usual, he reached back and grabbed her soft palm.

Mu Qingyang jumped up and down happily, walking along the street covered with firecracker debris. Stepping on the red fragments, he felt very festive, as if the whole street had turned into a red carpet.

Holding hands and walking down this street, there's a strange sense of ritual about it!
"After wishing our grandparents a Happy New Year, we'll have to go and wish all our relatives a Happy New Year one by one," Zeng Wenjie said.

"Well, how about we... go to Fengzhou on the third day of the Lunar New Year and then to Jiangnan on the fourth?" Mu Qingyang asked cautiously.

“Sure.” Zeng Wenjie nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask, "So, what exactly is the situation with your family of origin?"

Mu Qingyang frowned slightly and said, "My hometown is in Tiannan, you know that."

Zeng Wenjie nodded.

Mu Qingyang said, "My family originally had a family business in Gurao, which specialized in making underwear. Later, the business went bankrupt, and the family fell apart. It is said that it was because of my father... In the end, we left Tiannan and settled in Jiangnan to develop our careers."

Zeng Wenjie said, "So, it's a feud between wealthy families?"

Mu Qingyang smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but everyone says that my dad did something to wrong my mom. After we moved to Jiangnan, our relationship got worse and worse."

Zeng Wenjie felt the topic was too heavy, so he immediately changed the subject, saying, "I wonder if my grandparents won't give me a red envelope either!"

"do not know!"

Mu Qingyang was taken aback, then said with a grin.

She had a great time, receiving so many gifts and red envelopes that she was overwhelmed, and felt that the trip was definitely worthwhile.

Fun, interesting, and enjoyable! I'll definitely come back again!
Upon arriving at his maternal grandparents' house in Xinjie, Zeng Wenjie led Mu Qingyang inside to offer New Year's greetings.

My maternal grandparents prepared red envelopes, one for each of them, and each red envelope contained 500 yuan.

Finally receiving the red envelope, Zeng Wenjie felt a little better. After all, who isn't a child at heart?

He plans to give red envelopes to his relatives next Chinese New Year. Well, he'll let Xiao Mu do it!
"Are you leaving on the third day of the Lunar New Year? Why not stay a couple more days?" Grandma said after learning about their plans.

"No, I have important business to attend to!" Zeng Wenjie said with a smile. "Xiao Mu also has relatives to visit."

When Grandma heard this, she thought it made sense, so she didn't say anything more.

Grandpa then said kindly to Mu Qingyang, "Little Mu, if you encounter any problems with Russian, feel free to call me and ask me!"

Mu Qingyang laughed and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. Zeng Wenjie always takes advantage of my lack of Russian to bully me." Zeng Wenjie was afraid that his grandfather might accidentally let something slip, so he quickly gave him a wink.

Grandpa then said, "His Russian isn't much better than yours. You're a much better learner than him. If you put in a little effort, you can easily crush him!"

Mu Qingyang immediately raised his chin triumphantly and said to Zeng Wenjie triumphantly, "Did you hear that?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "I'll take her to visit relatives and friends for the New Year."

"Remember to say goodbye before you leave," Grandma instructed.

"Okay!" Zeng Wenjie hurriedly agreed.

So Zeng Wenjie took Mu Qingyang and they began to visit their relatives and friends in the town one by one, and went to Hu Guohua's house for a while.

Zeng Wenjie finding such a beautiful girlfriend made Hu Guohua's parents so envious their eyes turned red.

Moreover, people in the countryside often think that women who are too beautiful are frivolous and too open. However, Mu Qingyang gives people the temperament of a well-behaved girl. She speaks gently and politely, and her face turns red when she is praised.

Almost everyone who has met her has a very high opinion of her.

As a result, the saying "a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung" has been frequently mentioned.

But this is just a joke. After all, Zeng Wenjie has achieved so many outstanding results this year, which makes people feel envious and respectful.

As he traveled to offer New Year's greetings, Mu Qingyang received a lot of candy and red envelopes.

"Hey, Third Brother, you're all dressed up so smartly, are you going on a blind date?"

On his way home, Zeng Wenjie encountered Sanbai and called out to him in surprise.

The young man was dressed in a smart suit, with his hair slicked back and a bag that exuded a boss-like aura. He looked quite like a successful person.

Upon seeing Zeng Wenjie, Sanbai immediately greeted him with a smile and a cupped hand, saying, "Young Boss Zeng, Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Boss's wife, it's nice to see you again! Hello, hello!"

When Sanbai came to deliver the goods, he saw Mu Qingyang once and was amazed by her beauty.

Mu Qingyang felt that although the man in front of him was wearing a suit, he still had a bit of a sleazy air about him, so he couldn't help but take a half step back and hide next to Zeng Wenjie, looking him up and down with his big, dark eyes.

But when she heard the other person address her as "boss lady," she immediately stepped forward and said, "Third brother? Ah, Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

Zeng Wenjie glanced at Mu Qingyang, both amused and exasperated.

"I was just planning to visit your house to wish you a Happy New Year! Oh, and the town mayor too, I'll be coming to your house to greet you later as well," Sanbai said to Zeng Wenjie with a smile.

"Really?" Zeng Wenjie asked in surprise.

Sanbai said, "Young Master Zeng, you've really made something of yourself this year! The town mayor is bragging about your name every day."

Zeng Wenjie smiled helplessly after hearing this. It seems that the title of one of the Ten Outstanding Youths is not unnoticed!
Just halfway through the old street, Niu Bai heard Zeng Wenjie and San Bai talking, so he poked his head out from the second floor and said, "Nai Zhao, come to my house for dinner this afternoon. My dad said he wants to treat you to dinner."

When Sanbai heard this nickname, he was a little embarrassed, but he still managed to suppress his smile, his face contorted into a grimace.

"Bra classmate~" Mu Qingyang also started to joke around.

Zeng Wenjie clicked his tongue. "That son of a bitch, he's really letting loose since he's back in his hometown!" But then again, it's the New Year, everyone's back home, so let him call me whatever he wants. Everyone knows that awful nickname anyway…

“Okay, I’ll bring Xiao Mu over this afternoon,” Zeng Wenjie said.

Presumably, Shi Jing's father, Shi Quankai, felt that his son had actually made a lot of money after following Zeng Wenjie for a semester, so he wanted to express his gratitude.

Back home, Zeng Wenjie asked Mu Qingyang to help his parents deal with the guests, while he stayed in his room replying to everyone who had called or texted to wish them a Happy New Year.

He also had to take the initiative to greet Zhuang Aimin, Ye Yixuan, and Principal Gao.

Zeng Wenjie's phone was almost bursting with text messages. Opening and replying to them one by one would take a lot of time.

Then, he saw a message from Qin Yixuan.

"Happy New Year, junior! Although I'm far away in Beijing, I still want to send you my sincerest blessings!"

Zeng Wenjie was too lazy to reply to the arrogant and scheming senior's message, but instead sent a "Happy New Year" message to the now docile senior, Da Yuan.
