"Oh, don't call her over..." Zhou Rongli felt quite regretful upon hearing Jiang Chen's words. After all, Lin Bingbing was such a beautiful star, yet Jiang Chen seemed indifferent.
"Mom, if you want her to come, I can have Bingbing visit often, even have her attend to you specifically. How about that?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"That won't do. She's not my servant. I want her to come not to serve me," Zhou Rongli replied with a smile, looking meaningfully at her son.
*Cough cough*, "Xiao Chen, since you helped Bingbing break off her engagement, you should know her feelings. What do you plan to do?" Zhou Rongli's expression suddenly became serious.
"Let's talk about it later. Matters of love are not what I'm pursuing," Jiang Chen responded calmly.
"However, it seems several girls are quite taken with you. That's not good," Zhou Rongli remarked. Although Jiang Chen was not her biological son, she had already regarded him as one in her heart and naturally hoped he would find a good girl. This didn't seem to be a worry anymore; now there were beautiful women around Jiang Chen, each one more outstanding than the last.
From among the flowers, picking just one would suffice. But since each was so vibrant, it made the choice difficult.
"Mom, what's the big deal? With such an excellent brother like mine, if there weren't any girls interested, that would be strange! Brother, if it comes to it, just marry them all; let's not worry too much about convention," Jiang Lu said with a wave of her hand, speaking boldly.
Jiang Lu's joke did not earn a reprimand from Zhou Rongli; instead, it made her nod in agreement.
"I think that's a good idea. Since it's hard to choose, why not take them all?" Zhou Rongli said quite seriously.
"Mom, what are you all thinking? Time is long; it's New Year's! Let's not talk about such things," Jiang Chen quickly changed the subject.
"Alright then, let's drop it," Zhou Rongli laughed.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, the reunion dinner was ready, and everyone sat down together to eat and drink. After the meal, they gathered around to watch the Spring Festival Gala. By ten o'clock, the family began heading to bed.
New Year's Eve passed just like that.
On the first day of the New Year, they started visiting relatives. According to tradition, on this day sons pay New Year greetings to their parents; thus most families celebrate at home on the first day. Jiang Chen was no exception and spent the first day at his godmother's house. The four of them played cards all day before heading over.
The second day was for visiting the wife's family. Since Jiang Lu was a daughter and not a daughter-in-law, she didn't have that obligation. So on the second day, they only returned to Zhou Rongli's family home.
Zhou Rongli's family background was impressive; they were from the prosperous Zhou family in Hangcheng. However, since marrying into the Jiang Bao family in An Province, she had severed ties with her family because they opposed her marriage to them. Ignoring their objections and insisting on marrying into the Jiang Bao family led to her being disowned by the Zhou family for over twenty years.
Three years ago, when her daughter started attending Capital City University and she had a godson like Jiang Chen, Zhou Rongli felt emboldened enough to return to the Zhou family.
The Zhou family still held deep prejudices against Zhou Rongli; even her biological father did not want to acknowledge her as his daughter. However, her mother was very emotional upon seeing Zhou Rongli again. For several years during New Year celebrations, Zhou Rongli would visit her mother just to spend time with her; as for the other members of the Zhou family, she preferred not to engage with them too much.
Despite having been entangled in grievances with the Zhou family for over twenty years, Zhou Rongli no longer cared about those matters now.
