Brother, isnt this braised fish especially delicious? Looking at her brother, Nian Xi felt like she was a puppy getting fed by its owner.
Nian Junting raised his chin proudly and said, Just average. Theres still room for improvent.
Luosang snorted silently.
If its just average, why are you taking such large bites? she thought.
She never saw him with such a big appetite when Sister Lan cooked his als.
You call that average? Nian Xi hated his dishonesty, so she put the rest of the fish into her own bowl and said, Since you think its average, Ill eat it all. I havent had such delicious fish for a long ti.
Nian Xi, cant you pay a little attention to your manners? Seeing that his favorite fish was gone, Nian Junting beca so angry that he nearly choked on his rice.
Nian Xis large eyes were filled with innocence as she responded with, Were family. Why do we have to act so reserved? Brother, you like the fish, dont you?
I dont, said Nian Junting.
Thats what I thought, continued Nian Xi while eating happily. Sister Luosang, I decided to co here more frequently to bum als off of you. The food in the police station is a disaster, she said to Luosang.
I dont want you here, said Nian Junting through clenched teeth.
I dont need you to, responded Nian Xi carelessly.
Nian Junting felt speechless.
This was definitely the worst al he ever had.
Sitting beside him, Luosang observed his tightened, handso face. He seed to be on the verge of losing his temper, but he knew that he shouldnt; it was like he was suffering constipation. Seeing the complicated look in his face, Luosang lowered her head and smiled.
Luosang believed that being arrogant and sharp-tongued was a disease. She couldnt cure this disease that he had, but his sister probably could.
The morning before New Years Eve, Luosang arrived at the family ho of the Nian Family with Nian Junting and his sister. It was a manor, located about twenty miles away from Xia City. The manor was designed to resemble Suzhou traditional gardens, decorated with rockery and pavilions, and had a man-made stream running around. However, different from the other part of the manor, the villa was a foreign-style building, built during the Republic China period, and seed to contain a wealth of culture.
It was almost New Years Eve, so couplets were put up on both sides of the gate of the villa. They made the entire building radiate with joy.
A couple of cars had parked in the parking lot. So were luxurious, and so werent. The only thing in common with these cars were their special license plate numbers.
Luosang wheeled Nian Junting into the villa. Around ten people were already there. So of them were playing mahjong, so were chatting, and so children were frolicking about. They were all mbers of the Nian Family.
Tingting, Xi, youre back! An old lady walked over on a crutch with red eyes and said, Tingting, I heard that you had a car accident. I wanted to go and see you, but your father didnt let . Look at you, youre even sitting in a wheelchair. When will you recover? How could they tell that you werent hurt badly?
Ill rest for a while, and then Ill be full of vigor again. Dont worry.
Once he finished his words, a middle-aged man sitting on the couch snorted coldly and said, I told you to not to be a businessman, but you insisted. Look at you now. You havent recovered from the car accident yet, but yesterday, soone tried to pour piss on you in public. I heard from Director Yao that you were attacked by over ten people. Youre lucky that they didnt disable you.
Dad, it wasnt so bad. They were just trying to frighten my brother. Everyone knows who he is and no one dares do anything to him, unless they want to die, said Nian Xi smilingly.
Alright, dont you bla Tingting, Nian Juntings grandma gave her son a threatening glance, then said, Being a businessman is safer than being a politician at least. Dont forget that Tingting almost died in the army.
Please dont ntion these unhappy things during New Years Eve. Nian Juntings grandpa changed the topic and said to him, Tingting, you should talk to your mother, and tell her to co back for the New Year. Its been so long since theyve separated. Are they really gonna get divorced?
I dont know, and Im too lazy to care. The look on Nian Juntings face instantly turned cold.
He turned his head slightly, then pointed at the grapefruit on the tea table and said to Luosang, Peel so for .
