Chapter 629: Going Home for the New Year

Cai Mao’s call made Li Muyao feel a little depressed. Seeing the end of the call, Li Muyao pouted and looked at Huo Jiling with a trace of grievance in her eyes.”Should I not have asked you to pressure the Chu family to send Churan away?”

Indeed, Li Muyao didn’t expect Chu Ranran to be sent to the United States by her biological father the next night.

But to be honest, when Li Muyao found out that Chu Ranran was on a plane to the United States, she told her that Chu Ranran would continue her high school abroad and then go to university.

If Chu Ranran did not graduate from university, she would not allow Chu Ranran to return to the country.

“There’s no need to say that. Sending Churan abroad to study is actually a good thing for her. The current Churanran could no longer calm down and study properly.

First, she found out that her father was out.l The matter of the rails was also suppressed and run on by his stepmother, Chen Jiao, and stepsister.

It was a little difficult for Chu Ranran to grow up well. After all, Churanran was only 16 years old this year. As a minor, besides studying hard, she had to seize the time to grow up quickly every day. Otherwise, even if Churanran got the things her mother left her, she wouldn’t be able to keep them.

Besides, Chu Ranran didn’t even have the ability to get it back. She might as well escape from these people and go abroad so that she could grow and learn faster. Only when there was no disturbance could he be more calm and focused on what he needed to do.”

In Huo Jiling’s opinion, it was only a matter of time before Chu Ranran left the country. However, because of Li Muyao, Huo Jiling had only brought forward the Chu family’s plan for Chu Ranran.

Besides, based on Chu Ranran’s current situation, it was indeed the best outcome for her to leave and study abroad.

Huo Jiling didn’t think that his or Li Muyao’s methods were cruel. This was the most harmless method.

“Be good, don’t think too much. We still have to drive back to your house tomorrow morning. Don’t you still have to call Little Yu and Yang Yang? Go back to your room and call him. I’ll turn on the computer and help you keep an eye on Cai Mao. I’ll come back and tell you when he returns to the dormitory safely.”

If it wasn’t for the fact that the New Year was coming soon, Huo Jiling had already promised to let Li Muyao relax for a few days. Otherwise, he would have urged Li Muyao to go to bed at this time.

Now, Li Muyu and Li Muyang were in Europe. The time difference between them and China was a little big. It was night time in China and day time in China.

Therefore, in order to make another phone call before the new year, Li Muyao had already made an appointment with her two younger brothers.

Li Muyao nodded and touched Huo Jiling’s hand before returning to her room. When the time was up, Li Muyu’s phone number was ready to call.

The three siblings chatted for nearly an hour before hanging up.

Li Muyao was reading the messages on her phone while she was yawning. After she finished reading, Huo Jiling walked over and told her,”Cai Mao is already home. He’s a little drunk. He didn’t even get through to me on the phone and directly fell asleep on the bed.

Mooncake, you should sleep too.” Cai Mao, Little Yu, Yang Yang, and the others were all boys, so there was no need to worry. Good night, good dream.

Huo Jiling was both heartbroken and angry when he saw that Li Muyao couldn’t even open her eyes. Huo Jiling had no idea that Li Muyao was looking forward to the new year so much that she would stay up all night. It was only tne 2ötn day or tne lunar calenclar.

“Yes, yes, Ling. Sweet dreams.”

Li Muyao closed her eyes and lay on the bed. Huo Jiling closed the door.

The next day, Li Muyao was completely unconscious. Huo Jiling had already packed their luggage and put them in the trunk. He helped Li Muyao sit in the front passenger seat and helped her buckle her seatbelt.

Li Muyao slept all the way and when she woke up, she had already entered the county town.

“You’re awake? Are you hungry? Drink some water and eat some biscuits. They would be home in ten minutes. Uncle Yang just called and asked us to have lunch at his house. It’s already prepared.

I thought that it was getting late when we got home, so I agreed. Since we were going over anyway, why don’t we go over earlier and bring the things you brought along?

Huo Jiling looked at Li Muyao as he drove. He took out Li Muyao’s favorite jasmine tea and his handmade milk biscuits from the bag hanging on the back seat.

Li Muyao yawned again. She took out a pack of wet tissues from her bag and took out two. She wiped her face and hands before drinking water. She didn’t eat the biscuits.

“I won’t eat the biscuits. I’ll save my stomach for Uncle Yang’s house. Ling, are you tired? If you’re tired, I’ll drive. Anyway, we’re at my house. I’m very familiar with the way.”

Li Muyao had already woken up. After drinking the jasmine tea, she was even more energetic.

Li Muyao hadn’t come back for the New Year for many years in her previous life. Moreover, the atmosphere of the New Year was no longer as festive when she returned to her hometown. The county town also forbade firecrackers. Moreover, every household had become rich. Everyone followed the trend of the big cities and did not gather at home during the New Year.

Instead, they had agreed to go on a trip for the new year. Even if it was the new year, it was not too lively when they returned to the county.

It was not like now, where one could hear the New Year’s songs played by various businesses from afar. Happy New Year, Happy Chinese New Year, and many other Chinese New Year songs could be heard everywhere. They were especially festive and made people know that it was the new year as soon as they entered the county. Those who worked outside and those who went to school in other provinces all came back.

“I’ll be there soon, and I’m not tired. However, your county town is really lively.

It’s just like Uncle Li described to me in his letter. It sounds like the New Year.”

Not only were there all kinds of New Year’s songs, but the sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere on the streets of the county town. No, it couldn’t even be compared to the New Year in Jin City.

It was very quiet in Jin City during the New Year.

Especially in recent years, the subway was usually packed with people during the New Year. The subway was empty during the New Year. People who came to work from other places had all rushed back to their hometown for the New Year. There were not many locals in Jin City. Therefore, other than the excitement on TV, the streets were deserted.

“That’s for sure! I like to go home for the New Year the most, not only because of the reunion with my family, but also because of the atmosphere of the New Year. It was still daytime, so they could only hear the intermittent sounds of firecrackers. On the night of the New Year’s Eve, the square in our county town is really lively. There are dragon dance teams and singing teams.

The final fireworks show was really beautiful. It was usually not visible from the outside. Moreover, I heard from Uncle Yang that with your company’s sponsorship this year, the fireworks show will definitely be grander and more beautiful than in previous years..”
