Gu'er had said one thing, but when New Year's Eve came and Lin Shan still hadn't returned, she went back to the Lin Family's home early anyway. It was the New Year, and it would have been wrong of her not to go back.
Sun Jiaming accompanied her. They had agreed to spend the day at the Lin Family's home, then return to the Sun Family's place after dinner to see in the new year. That way, they could celebrate with both sides.
"Gu'er, do you think something happened to your dad?"
Chen Fengjiao asked while trimming vegetables with Gu'er.
"Mom, it's New Year's. We shouldn't be saying such unlucky things. I already called them. They said something came up that Dad needs to handle, but he should be able to come back tomorrow."
Gu'er was truly exasperated with her mother. 'On New Year's of all days, can't she think of anything good?'
