When Xiaoi heard they were going to buy New Year’s goods, she imdiately ended her video call with Jian Si and promptly followed them out the door.
To carry more items, they took a spacious car.
Many people from out of town had already gone ho for the New Year, so there were fewer cars on the road, but there seed to be more people in the malls than before.
According to their usual habits, none of the five of them enjoyed being in crowded places.
However, not one of them had ever experienced an ordinary person’s New Year’s celebrations.
They had never experienced the New Year celebrations common to ordinary people.
Uncle He and Aunt Ning bought anything they thought suited Fu Bing, especially gold and silver jewelry.
Xiaoi didn’t see any problem with this at all, nor did she feel that Aunt Ning and Uncle He were biased.
Because she herself also wanted Sister Bing to have the best things.
The group went on a buying spree.
Everything was bought for Fu Bing.
Fu Bing let them buy. When they reached the supermarket, she coughed softly and said, "Let’s buy so food, otherwise, over the New Year, we’ll be stuck at ho nibbling on wall plaster."
"Soone’s already prepared it," Uncle He said with a cheerful smile. "Mr. Xiaoren said he’s also prepared the freshest seafood, which will be processed by the hotel on the 29th and delivered."
None of them had ever thought about booking a New Year’s Eve dinner outside.
Of the five of them, one was disfigured, one was in a wheelchair, one had a severed hand, and one was the nation’s sweetheart. Only Xiaoi was the most normal.
The mont they appeared, they attracted the attention of others. Upon recognizing Fu Bing, people didn’t disturb her but simply greeted her from a distance before walking away.
So took photos and videos from afar.
Everyone still maintained the habit of not bothering them.
Soone standing next to Fu Bing asked, "Sister Bing, are you spending the New Year with your family in Jiangnan?"
"Yes, are you?"
"Yeah, I have to work shifts at the hospital this New Year, so I can’t go ho."
"Wishing you a Happy New Year in advance."
"You too, Sister Bing. May you and your family and friends be healthy and safe."
"Thank you."
There were many such conversations along the way. Fu Bing wasn’t impatient, nor did she forgo the joy of shopping.
Yu Sihui and Yu Huo saw Fu Bing and the others from a distance.
Yu Huo sneered, "Fu Ying is really interesting, parading around in public with so many abnormal people. Isn’t she afraid of being an eyesore?"
Yu Sihui was also displeased. "Has Feng Yu ntioned her to you recently?"
If Feng Yu insisted on marrying a troublemaker like Fu Bing into the Feng Family, their family’s hard-earned reputation would be destroyed.
"He said he’ll be back for the New Year, and from what I understand, he still plans to seek out Fu Bing."
"He’s coming back for the New Year?" Yu Sihui frowned.
The New Year was just a few days away, yet she, his mother, was completely unaware.
"Yes, he told earlier. He even asked what kind of gift would please a girl."
Looking at Fu Bing amidst the crowd, Yu Sihui felt exceptionally uncomfortable.
She had to find a way to change Feng Yu’s mind.
Originally, she thought she might let them try things out, so she had looked into Fu Bing’s background. Not only was Fu Bing ambiguously involved with Qin Jinhai, but she had also given birth to a stillborn child in prison, the father of whom was unknown. And now, she was always seen with her bodyguard.
A woman so fickle did not deserve to marry into their Feng Family.
"Let’s go back," said Yu Sihui coldly.
Yu Huo imdiately picked up their purchases and followed.
He also felt that Feng Yu and Fu Bing weren’t suitable for each other.
A military officer and a celebrity with a tarnished reputation? It was simply unthinkable.
Feng Yu’s future path was already paved; he just needed to walk it.
If he married Fu Bing, his future prospects would be severely limited.
Fu Bing was oblivious to the Feng Family’s thoughts.
The five of them shopped for three hours. Even after buying everything they needed, they boarded the car still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
After getting into the car, they weren’t in a hurry to go ho, so Wu Shi drove them around for a while.
If they got hungry, they would find a nearby restaurant and eat.
Such leisure was a rare experience for them.
After a night’s rest, Fu Bing prepared New Year’s gifts and went to the sanatorium.
Madam Chu was in much better spirits than last ti, and her expression towards Fu Bing wasn’t as unpleasant.
Fu Bing, seeing that she didn’t want to talk, sat for a while before getting up to say goodbye.
Madam Chu asked, "Did you go see your mother?"
"Before going back to Jiangnan, I visited her with Uncle Ren."
Madam Chu continued to be silent.
Fu Bing wished her "Happy New Year" and then went back.
Interactions between people also depended on fate. She and Madam Chu didn’t seem to share much affinity, nor were they related by blood. It was enough to have a clear conscience.
Wu Shi was busy today, so it was Xiaoi who drove her over.
After driving for a while, Xiaoi suddenly said, "Sister, there seems to be soone injured up ahead. Should I stop the car?"
Fu Bing looked up and saw that it was Yunhui.
"Find a suitable spot to park."
"Alright."
Hearing the sound of car tires crunching through the snow, Yunhui struggled to get up, but the pain in her foot was so intense that she dared not move.
"Don’t move," Fu Bing’s voice rang out.
Yunhui was taken aback. "You ca to visit the old lady?"
"Yeah, why didn’t you drive in?"
Fu Bing and Xiaoi supported Yunhui on either side and helped her into the car.
"Your uncle... Fu Chan was quite busy today, so I told him not to co in," Yunhui said, her eyes filled with frustration. "It wasn’t a long walk; I didn’t expect to fall. I’m so useless."
"It’s normal to fall on snowy and slippery roads," Fu Bing said as she bent down to remove Yunhui’s shoes.
Yunhui hurriedly tried to pull her foot back. "It’s dirty."
"It’s not."
Fu Bing felt her ankle and, while Yunhui was distracted, gently twisted it back into place. The excruciating pain subsided.
She moved her foot tentatively. "It’s... better?"
"Still, you need to rest for a few days. Where do you live? I’ll take you ho."
"Tingjiang Courtyard."
"That’s not far from where I live."
Xiaoi set up the navigation, and they set off.
On the way, Yunhui called her driver, asking him to et her at the gate.
But when they arrived, Fu Chan was the one waiting there.
Fu Chan was clearly annoyed. "Why didn’t you tell you were injured?"
"You were busy; I didn’t want to disrupt your work."
"Could anything be more important than you, no matter how busy I am?" Fu Chan retorted without a second thought.
Yunhui blushed. "There are other people around! Aren’t you embarrassed?"
Shielding her behind him, Fu Chan said to Fu Bing, "I don’t like owing favors. I’ll tell you sothing: the Su Family is investigating you. Be prepared, and don’t let yourself be ruined by another powerful family again."
After saying that, he no longer looked at Fu Bing and squatted down to let Yunhui climb on his back.
With her face still flushed, Yunhui said to Fu Bing, "Thank you for your help. I’ll treat you to tea when I have the chance."
Still blushing deeply, she climbed onto Fu Chan’s back.
The two of them walked away slowly.
Xiaoi comnted with envy, "Fu Chan might be awful to outsiders, but he’s really good to Yunhui."
"People need soone to care about, otherwise, how empty their hearts would be," Fu Bing said, pinching Xiaoi’s chubby cheek. "Is my little sister thinking about dating?"
"I’m not! I want to be with you forever!"
What’s so good about those lousy n anyway? Her sister is sweet-slling, wonderful to hug, and always says the nicest things!
"But I’ve seen that soone likes you, haven’t I?"
"Plenty of people like ; I don’t care about just one or two!" Xiaoi huffed.
Just watching her sister deal with romance is exhausting.
If her sister hadn’t t Qin Jinhai, how much more brilliant her life could have been.
So, you see, n are just bad luck! Whoever gets involved with them ends up unlucky!
