Beijing, elevated road.

The black Rolls-Royce was speeding.

The elevated road looked particularly clean on New Year's Day, with fewer vehicles on the empty streets.

Jiang Li sat in the car, took out the big red envelope that Qi Wenjun and Jiang Fu had just given to her from her bag, and handed it to Jiang Mingxuan: "Mingxuan, here it is."

"ah?"

Jiang Mingxuan was stunned for a moment and recognized at a glance that the red envelope, whose cover was about to be opened, was exactly what his parents had given to his second sister.

"This red envelope is too valuable, just take it and keep it first."

Jiang Li handed the thick red envelope to Jiang Mingxuan.

She knew the weight of this red envelope. When she met Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi for the first time, the relationship between her and Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi was far from enough to warrant a heavy gift.

Jiang Mingxuan is the other party's biological son, so it is more appropriate for him to accept the red envelope.

"My parents gave this to you."

"I know, but it's too valuable. Why don't you just accept it first and then return it to my uncle and aunt for me in a few days?"

Jiang Li said seriously.

Jiang Mingxuan waved his hand and quickly refused, unwilling to even touch the red envelope, as if it was something terrible.

"Sister Jiang Li, keep it yourself, don't hurt... give it to me."

"Um?"

"Anyway, this is what your parents gave you, you can keep it yourself."

Jiang Mingxuan refused wildly.

This is a red envelope given to my second sister by my parents. If I dare to accept it, I will have to shed my skin even if I go home and let people know.

"Take it."

Gu Qian also mentioned it, and he naturally understood the purpose of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi giving such a big red envelope.

"This... is too much..."

"This is a custom in the capital. It means that Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi like you very much. We can just give you a little more when we return the gift later."

Gu Qian advised with a gentle voice: "The Jiang family is not short of this money. If you return the red envelope, they will know that you don't like them."

"All right……"

Jiang Li nodded and put the red envelope back into his bag.

…

Half an hour later.

The black Rolls-Royce parked at the door of the Jin family's mansion.

The old housekeeper at the door of the mansion recognized the license plate number at a glance and immediately came forward to greet him: "Master Gu is back."

"Miss Jiang, is Master Mingxuan here too?"

"Brother Jin is at home, right?"

Jiang Mingxuan looked at the old housekeeper and asked casually.

The old housekeeper looked a little strange and explained: "The young master was taken out by the master and his wife early in the morning."

"ah?"

Hear this.

The three of them were all stunned.

Does this mean that everyone in the family has gone out?

"Master Gu, why don't you go in and sit down first? I'll inform the head of the house and his wife now. They left early in the morning and should be back soon."

The old housekeeper looked at the three people and said.

Gu Qian nodded slightly.

Under the leadership of the old housekeeper, a group of three people walked directly into the Jin family's mansion.

There are all kinds of red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets hanging in the mansion. The atmosphere is full of Chinese New Year, and everyone is full of joy.

The three of them sat in the courtyard of Jin Lanting and waited.

Totally bored.

"Look, I told you to leave early and you didn't listen. Now everyone has left." Jiang Li glanced at Gu Qian resentfully.

Gu Qian laughed dumbly.

Jiang Mingxuan was lying comfortably on the deck chair in the yard, which is Jin Lanting's favorite place to lie down: "Brother Gu, do you think Brother Jin was dragged on a blind date?"

As soon as these words came out.

Gu Qian and Jiang Li both seemed to think of Jin Lanting who seemed to have said that he was suffering from "blind dates" recently when they were playing the escape room a few days ago.

"He responded to my message and is now at Qi's house..."

Gu Qian glanced at the messages on his phone.

Jin Lanting is visiting the Qi family's mansion.

Jin Shenhan and Qi Hanhai, the head of the Qi family, seemed to have a good rapport and had some business contacts.

But Jin Lanting and Qi Ying have no feelings at all.

"I said before that I wanted to set him up with my cousin Qi Ying, but unfortunately Brother Jin refused. He said he couldn't control the girls who hang out in the boxing gym every day."

Jiang Mingxuan said.

The Qi family is also one of the wealthy families in the capital. It controls most of the underground gray forces in the capital. It can be regarded as a somewhat unusual wealthy family.

Jiang Mingxuan's mother, Qi Wenjun, is the sister of Qi Hanhai, the head of the Qi family.

"Do you have any grudge against your cousin?"

Jiang Li asked abruptly.

Jiang Mingxuan was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Li's question for a moment: "Sister Jiang Li, what do you mean? How can I have a grudge against my cousin?"

"No grudge against you for cheating her like this and introducing her to Jin Lanting..."

"this……"

Jiang Mingxuan looked embarrassed and didn't know what to answer.

indeed.

Jin Lanting's reputation as the "King of the Entertainment Industry" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is estimated that no girl would want to marry a scumbag.

…

Half an hour later.

The courtyard door of Jin Lanting opens.

A servant of the Jin family ran in quickly, looked at the three people in the courtyard and said, "Master Gu, the master and his wife have returned."

"Um."

Gu Qian nodded slightly, stood up and prepared to go over.

The servant hesitated for a moment, then looked at the three of them and reminded them in a low voice: "The master of the house and the eldest young master seem to have had some dispute. The atmosphere in the lobby is a bit tense now. Mr. Gu, please help to persuade them."

"There was an argument?"

Gu Qian frowned slightly, then nodded, probably guessing the reason for the dispute between father and son.

"Let's go."

A group of three people walked towards the lobby.

When Han Wenru saw Gu Qian and the others coming, she glared at Jin Shenhan and Jin Lanting: "The guests are here, you two, pay attention to me."

Finished.

With a gentle smile on her face, Han Wenru stood up and walked towards Gu Qian: "Qian'er is here, Lili, Mingxuan."

"Auntie, we are here to wish you a happy new year."

Jiang Li said with a sweet voice.

Jiang Mingxuan also said: "Auntie, Happy New Year."

Finished.

Jiang Mingxuan also greeted Jin Shenhan and Jin Lanting without any acknowledgment: "Uncle Jin, Happy New Year."

"Um."

Jin Shenhan nodded slightly.
