Shi Jiangyuan said, "My mom said that she has already cleaned up a room for you. You can go live there anytime."
Kang Ying quickly waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I think it's better if I stay in a hotel."
Shi Jiangyuan's euphemistic way of proposing marriage was immediately rejected by Kang Ying.
However, before Kang Ying became his girlfriend, he had already suffered this kind of experience many times, so he didn't mind.
What he was going to do next was to persevere and ask for the engagement. Of course, just now he had made Kang Ying his girlfriend, so it was impossible for him to get her engaged right away.
Now that everything was ready and ready to go, Kang Ying couldn't just stop and rush off. He was satisfied that she could give him some time to be a pair of intimate lovers with him.
Shi Jiangyuan said to Kang Ying, "Come back with me, don't we have to pay New Year respects on the first day of the new year?"
This reason was very reasonable, and Kang Ying couldn't refuse. Indeed, on the first day of the new year, she should pay her respects to the elders. She thought for a moment and said:
"There's also Zhao Shihong and Diao Chan's family. You can take them with you. They are all friends and partners. They know that I'm in the capital, so we should pay our respects to them."
Shi Jiangyuan nodded in excitement. This feeling was different from celebrating the new year. Why did he feel so excited when he brought his girlfriend to visit the New Year?
The more people left, the more intimate they became. If they didn't leave, then they would become strangers. Kang Ying pondered about becoming business partners with Diao Chan and the others, so sooner or later she would have to meet with their family and let them know what kind of person she was.
Normally, it was a bit sudden, but this was a good time to visit. It would be beneficial and harmless to let the parents see the character of their partner.
When Shi Jiangyuan and Kang Ying left the hotel, Kang Ying realized that Shi Jiangyuan had come in a car.
This time, Shi Jiangyuan had switched to a Red Flag sedan with a short license plate. It was expected to be one of the top few cars in the entire country.
Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan had just gotten on the car when Xu Kai came out from the lobby. The first thing he saw was Kang Ying and Shi Jiangyuan getting on the Red Flag Car.
Xu Kai had been in the Mainland for a long time. He already knew that an imported car like the Mercedes-Benz BMW did not have as much status as the Red Flag Car, so he couldn't help but feel shocked.
It seemed like Kang Ying's boyfriend wasn't that simple either. He really overestimated himself to want to pick her up in the morning …
Xu Kai twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: "I better go and get some local chick to drive away the boredom during New Year's Eve." As for Kang Ying, there was no need for her to think about it. She did not even dare to touch a strand of hair, and she did not even dare to give it to him. He could not afford to offend her!
The two of them arrived at Shi Jiangyuan's house. It was early in the morning, and the surroundings were covered in snow. Red lanterns hung from the roof of every house, and the spring couplet was hanging.
Upon entering, he saw Grandpa Murong, who was wearing a red Tang suit and had a rosy complexion. He was in the living room watching Central TV's replay of the Spring Festival Gala yesterday.
The old man had always slept early and couldn't possibly stay up late to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Kang Ying quickly said a few words of good wishes for the new spring. Grandpa Murong was very happy, so he gestured for Kang Ying to sit down. He asked Aunt Zhang to pour Kang Ying a cup of tea and even let her eat fruit.
Kang Ying had just had breakfast, so she picked up a kumquat and followed the old example by saying, "Great! Great!"
Seeing that Kang Ying was doing quite well with a straight face, the old man couldn't help but reveal a kind smile.
Kang Ying could feel the smile in his eyes. When Kang Ying had heard of his deeds in the media, she had always thought that the old man was a tall and unapproachable person.
However, the old tutor seemed to become more and more familiar with life after such contact.
At this moment, Shi Lang appeared in the living room with a sullen face. It was the new year, and he didn't look happy at all, as if he was being suppressed by something.
Kang Ying already knew that Shi Lang had conflicts with his family. Looking at his performance now, she felt that even though he was already in his forties and almost in his fifties, he was still a mentally immature child, deliberately giving the parents a hard time.
Even the children of kindergarten knew that today was the first day of the new year. They had to smile and not face each other. Seeing Shi Lang like this, they felt like he had been spoiled since he was young.
"Dad, Old Sun won't come to pay New Year a visit this year will he? I heard he got promoted last year, and he's a big shot. When Shi Lang was in trouble, he didn't even make a sound, making it clear that he didn't want to help us. It was you who suggested it when he was promoted. Hmph, he doesn't dare to make a sound. Isn't it because he's afraid that it will affect his progress? "
Wang Minglan sat down beside Shi Lang and started to chat.
Shi Lang's expression was still gloomy and there was no change at all. There was no sign of any ripples in his heart, but the old man's originally clear face suddenly darkened.
The atmosphere in the living room immediately became tense.
Kang Ying did not expect Shi Lang and his wife to suffer misfortune in their home early in the morning. It seemed that she was in trouble and did not want everyone to have a good time either.
If Grandpa Murong got angry, this New Year would be wasted.
Fortunately, Grandpa Murong was quite rational. After all, not only was there Shi Lang's family of four, there was also Shi Tao's family. Shi Lang did not want to celebrate New Year, others also want to celebrate New Year!
At this time, there was a squeaking sound as a car stopped outside the Shi Family Courtyard. Not long later, a guard brought a guest inside.
The guest wore a light gray woolen suit with a matching coat and a red tie, looking very serious.
Kang Ying took a look. Wasn't this person the important person she had seen so often on TV? Right, his surname was Sun. Could it be that Shi Lang was talking about this person?
"Old Leader, happy new year!" The moment the customer came in, he revealed a smile and quickly stepped forward, taking the initiative to shake Grandpa Murong's hand.
"Happy New Year." Grandpa Murong's expression remained the same.
However, the other party helped the old man to sit back on the sofa respectfully, saying, "The old leader is too courteous, how can he bear the burden of having you welcome him personally?"
Shi Lang and his wife's faces no longer had the sharp look they used to have when they despised each other. Instead, they had smiles like resplendent marigolds. If they had a tail behind their butt, they would definitely be shaking violently and happily. This was a stark contrast to his previous pickiness.
Kang Ying happened to be watching Shi Lang and his wife's face from the beginning. She couldn't help but laugh secretly, but she also pretended to be calm and collected.
On the other hand, Shi Jiangyuan was a bit embarrassed. He felt embarrassed to be seen by Kang Ying.
The guest surnamed Sun didn't just leave after a short chat, but instead seriously chatted with Grandpa Murong, reminiscing about the past and thinking about the future.
At the same time, the guests who came to greet Grandpa Murong were also in succession. Kang Ying saw many familiar faces that she had seen on TV before, but none of them were as important as the first customer.
