With fireworks to play with, this New Year’s Eve seemed to be even more dazzling and colorful. It also left a deep and beautiful memory for Gu Xiao and the others.

Previously, Chu An’s worries had indeed become true. A cardboard box of fireworks indeed couldn’t satisfy the needs of six people. In the end, even Mr Chu felt that it wasn’t enough.

However, the fireworks in this box allowed the Chu family to stay awake until the dawning of a new day.

The moment the clock struck, Gu Xiao looked at Chu An meaningfully and said softly, “Happy New Year.”

Chu An chuckled softly. “Happy New Year.”

Mrs Chu had walked to Gu Xiao’s side at some point in time and reached out to hug her. There was still a hint of joy in her voice.

“Xiaoxiao, Happy New Year.”

Gu Xiao retracted her gaze from Chu An and said gently to Mrs Chu, “Auntie, Happy New Year.”

After the few of them said Happy New Year, they tidied themselves up and walked to their rooms separately.

After all, there were still people coming to visit tomorrow and they needed to wake up early. If they could sleep early, it was better to sleep early.

The next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Xiao and Chu An put on the new clothes that Mrs Chu had brought them to buy, and left their rooms.

Mrs Chu, who was already downstairs, saw Gu Xiao’s clothes and her eyes lit up. She circled Gu Xiao a few times in satisfaction.

When Gu Xiao walked over, Mrs Chu directly grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand. “I knew Xiaoxiao would look good in this. My taste has not deteriorated.”

Gu Xiao smiled and nodded, praising Mrs Chu.

When guests came, Mr Chu and Mrs Chu did not let Gu Xiao avoid them. Instead, they let her sit at the seats for the hosts, just like Chu An, Chu Zi, and Wei Xuexi, and receive the guests with them.

When the guests saw Gu Xiao sitting beside Chu An, their eyes flashed.

When they saw Mr Chu and Mrs Chu’s reactions, they immediately understood what the Chu family wanted to express. They pulled Gu Xiao over and praised her.

After these guests left the Chu family villa, the news of Gu Xiao receiving guests in the Chu family villa on the first day of the Lunar New Year gradually spread in the circle.

There were some things that couldn’t be said in front of the Chu family, but in private, they didn’t have any scruples.

“The Chu family kept Gu Xiao in the Chu family’s ancestral residence for the new year. They even let Gu Xiao come out to meet guests on the first day of the new year. I heard that Gu Xiao and Chu An’s actions are also very intimate! Could it be that the Second Young Master of the Chu family has already confirmed his choice of Gu Xiao and won’t change it?”

“In my opinion, with the identities of Gu Xiao and the Second Young Master of the Chu family, they are still a little incompatible. Although Gu Xiao is from the Ji family, Gu Xiao did not change her surname back to Ji. Moreover, the Ji family is in a decline now. No matter how I look at it, these two should not be together.”

“But 1 heard that Gu Xiao has a good relationship with her biological brother? Ji Chen is very capable. If he doesn’t take the wrong path, Ji Chen will be able to create a Ji family himself sooner or later. If she has a good relationship with Ji Chen, then Gu Xiao is not without a background.”

“I still feel that Gu Xiao is not worthy of Second Young Master Chu. I keep feeling that Gu Xiao is not a good person.”

“Why? If Gu Xiao isn’t a good person, are you? It’s a fact that Gu Xiao’s background is poor, but it’s not right to say that Gu Xiao isn’t a good person, right? Speaking of which, I remember that you mentioned the Second Young Master of the Chu family previously and wanted him to marry your daughter? It’s a pity that the Second Young Master of the Chu family would rather have a Gu Xiao with no background than marry a member of your family!”

“You! What do you mean by that!”

“Alright! These are just words said out of boredom in private. There’s no need to be angry. Calm down!”

“I heard that there seems to be a banquet on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. The Chu family should be attending too. What’s the use of guessing now? Why don’t we see if the Chu family will bring Gu Xiao to the banquet on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year? If the Chu family really brings Gu Xiao to attend, we can also see if the Chu family is really satisfied with Gu Xiao.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally deadlocked atmosphere immediately eased.

“That makes sense,” someone muttered to himself.

Although the others did not speak, from their flickering gazes, it could be guessed that these people were probably also looking forward to the banquet on the seventh day of the New Year..
