Chapter 775: A Lively New Year's Dinner

Watching Xiao Shi see Gu Xu out, Shen Yi stood by, at a loss for words. “You know he has his eye on Xiao Shi, so why are you letting her walk him out?”

Now it’s Xiao Shi, and later it would be Guduo and Xiao You.

In short, whenever they looked for a boyfriend in the future, they would all have to pass Shen Yi’s inspection.

Qin Jiao replied helplessly, “Are you dense? If Xiao Shi wasn’t interested, would she give Gu Xu so many chances to be around her?”

For example, if Jiang Xiaoyue wasn’t also interested in Ji Changxing, she never would have invited him over for New Year’s Eve dinner.

Qin Jiao just hoped that the situation with her cousin, Xiao Lan, would be over soon.

She just wanted her cousin to remain unaffected and emerge from this shadow as soon as possible.

Besides that, there was one more crucial matter…

Before joining Shen Yi for dinner, Qin Jiao asked in a low voice, “How’s the evidence collection going in the South?”

“We have some leads. The only thing we’re missing now is that overseas plastic surgery clinic. If we can find it, we’ll be able to get photos of what they originally looked like.”

The evidence-gathering process was immense, and it even required international involvement.

During this time, aside from being busy with company matters, Shen Yi had been constantly in touch with Beidou and his friends, asking for their help in investigating Su Yuxi and Su Zeyuan.

If those two had run off to some obscure corner of the world after faking their deaths and lived out their lives quietly, he might have let it go.

But instead, they insisted on returning to North City and kept stirring up trouble.

They were simply too audacious.

The incident with the fashion show was just one example. Qin Jiao knew that with Su Yuxi’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t give up.

‘How is it fair that Shen Feng is in prison undergoing reform, while these two are out here causing chaos?’

Qin Jiao said in a mild tone, “No matter what, the most important thing is to send Lin Nian to prison to reunite with Shen Feng.”

“Mm.”

With vipers lurking nearby, no one could ever be completely at ease.

Shen Yi and Qin Jiao felt the same way. Their current happiness had been hard-won.

And they wouldn’t allow anyone to destroy it!

The large family filled three whole tables.

Qin Na laughed and said, “Next time, we’ll have to eat at a restaurant. We’re running out of space at home.”

Old Mrs. Qin was beaming. She didn’t understand much else, but she knew that the family was growing, and that was a good thing.

She had actually wanted to chat more with that Jiang Ling, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her second daughter-in-law had cut in and changed the subject.

The old woman wasn’t happy about it, but she didn’t say anything.

Although she was usually quite insistent on her own opinions, Old Mrs. Qin had come to understand one thing over the past few years.

And that was that the current liveliness of this large family was all thanks to her second son’s family.

It was all thanks to Xiao Jiao from her second son’s family.

That’s why she didn’t dare to argue with her second daughter-in-law now, so she just kept her grievances to herself and stayed quiet.

Even with so many people, there was more than enough food, wine, and fruit prepared.

After everyone finished the lively meal, Sun Jianhua and Qin Na gave the children their red envelopes early and then left with their two kids.

Qin Jiqun and Jiang Ling were still there, but Jiang Xiaoyue and Ji Changxing had disappeared somewhere.

Jiang Ling actually had a vague idea of what was going on, but she felt her daughter had a mind of her own. If things became serious, she would tell them.

After the meal, they played cards in the afternoon. Later that evening, they ate dumplings, and then everyone went their separate ways.

As for staying up to welcome the new year, it was too cold, so Su Yun and Qin Zhonghui told everyone to just head home.

A bustling year had passed, and a brand new one was about to begin.
