Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Even 007 Cannot Roll Like Them Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Even 007 Cannot Roll Like Them Xu Jingmin was not pleased.
She said she was fine on her own, without anyone to oversee her, and her son was capable and filial.
There was no need to get used to another person after marriage.
Moreover, aside from Zhou Shuyan’s father, Xu Jingmin looked down on everyone else.
After all, having had a man who was both brilliant and considerate, who understood her well, she couldn’t help but find faults in other n.
No matter how she looked at them, she was never satisfied.
Since she was not satisfied, why should she make herself miserable?
Besides, she wasn’t interested in dating younger n.
Her peers had all beco unattractive to her.
Not to ntion the various issues with relatives and their children.
There would likely be a need for a financial settlent between both parties, with the children of each wary of one another, which stripped any aning from marriage.
She didn’t need a man for company.
She was better off alone, doing whatever she wanted, going wherever she wanted.
She didn’t need to compromise for anyone.
Having expressed these thoughts, Old Master Zhou didn’t say anything further.
He simply told her that if she ever changed her mind, she should just say so, without feeling embarrassed.
Then, there was the incident where Zhou Xueyi almost killed Zhou Shuyan.
Though it appeared that Zhou Shuyan had no evidence against Zhou Xueyi, everyone knew it had sothing to do with Old Master Zhou.
Zhou Shuyan didn’t want to cause family unrest while Old Master Zhou was still alive, making him uneasy.
Thus, Old Master Zhou always felt indebted to Xu Jingmin and Zhou Shuyan.
Any whimsical request Xu Jingmin made was never rejected by Old Master Zhou.
Xu Jingmin was well aware of this.
Regarding the fact that Zhou Xueyi almost killed Zhou Shuyan, yet currently they couldn’t do much about Zhou Xueyi, Xu Jingmin always felt frustrated and suffocated.
She was well aware that Old Master Zhou felt indebted because of this.
But what was this slight indebtedness compared to Zhou Shuyan’s life?
Xu Jingmin told Old Master Zhou without any pressure that she and Zhou Shuyan wouldn’t be coming ho for the New Year.
They would celebrate on their own.
After all, she couldn’t stand to see Zhou Xueyi’s face.
Old Master Zhou knew what Xu Jingmin ant, and after only two seconds of silence, he agreed.

At Little Pink Book, Lu Youxi gave Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan a week off in advance.
Both were locals of the Imperial Capital and didn’t need to go ho early to beat the holiday rush.
Seeing that Lu Youxi was giving them ti off so early, they were quite reluctant.
“Boss, we don’t really need to take ti off this early, do we?” Pei Jingyuan, who was almost sleeping in the office, felt worse about taking a vacation than being killed.
“Yeah, boss, both of our families are here in the Imperial Capital. We don’t need to go back ho early,” Ji Deyi added.
“Even workaholics need to set so limits. Take a break,” Lu Youxi couldn’t bear watching them anymore.
007 couldn’t even roll up like they did.
“Little Pink Book isn’t in a hurry right now. You two are already having a hard ti with both classes and work. Now, hurry ho and get so proper rest. Don’t sneak into the office during your half-month break,” Lu Youxi said.
“You two can do whatever you want at ho; I really can’t control that. But just one thing—health is the capital of revolution. You both need to ensure you’re in good physical shape and high spirits to better enhance Little Pink Book and develop other excellent software,” Lu Youxi said, “Don’t ruin your health before Little Pink Book is even ready.”
Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi were still sowhat reluctant but nodded in agreent.
“Alright, hurry up and pack up; go ho,” Lu Youxi urged, “Look at you guys; beards grown out for days without shaving, hair not washed for days? Go ho, take a good bath, shave, and sleep.”
Lu Youxi would bet that both of them would fall asleep the mont they hit the bed.
Lu Youxi watched them pack up and followed them out of the office, hailing two taxis for them to send them off.

Lu Youxi also gave himself a break; he had been busy and hadn’t been able to spend quality ti with his family.
Taking advantage of the company closing early for the holiday, he took his family to the mall to buy new clothes for the New Year.
“Why buy at the mall? It’s too expensive.” Liu Yushu said, “Last ti we went to the wholesale market, the clothes were both cheap and good-looking.”
Lu Youxi, arm in arm with Liu Yushu, smiled and said, “We only celebrate Spring Festival once a year; let’s buy so expensive, high-quality clothes. Besides, winter clothes need to be durable and warm, no room for negligence.”
Lu Youxue stared intently at Lu Youxi, whose other hand was resting on his shoulder, “Youxue doesn’t have any decent clothes either, and he used to get one or maybe two pieces for the New Year, and always oversized to last years. Let’s get him sothing nice this ti.”
Liu Yushu, feeling left out, said, “You need to buy sothing nice too!”
“Of course, we’re all buying good clothes at the mall,” Lu Youxi nodded and laughed.
Thus, the group went to the mall.
They first bought for Lu Youxue, his first ti wearing such fine clothes for New Year.
He thought to himself that the clothes Lu Youxi bought him were probably better than what Lu Youbang was wearing now.
Lu Youbang, who wasn’t capable of earning, couldn’t possibly afford good clothes.
After buying for Lu Youxue, Liu Yushu insisted on first buying beautiful clothes for Lu Youxi.
Worried that Lu Youxi would neglect himself.
Watching Lu Youxi get his clothes, Liu Yushu then started shopping for her and Lu Zhenguo.
That day, the family felt fulfilled, returning ho with bags big and small.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.
Because the reunion dinner was at a restaurant, Liu Yushu was spared a lot of trouble.
Although she had prepared quite a bit of deep-fried food, it could only be served as a cold dish platter.
If they had eaten at ho, they would have to make more hot dishes.
On New Year’s Eve, the internet cafe also closed for a break.
Liu Yushu didn’t need to prepare lunch, and there was no need for house cleaning or cooking, which left her feeling sowhat unaccustod.
In the afternoon, once it was ti, fearing they might be late, they quickly changed clothes and set out for the restaurant.
They arrived much earlier than expected.
With nothing interesting at the restaurant, Lu Youxi didn’t go in right away but took them for a stroll nearby.
They also bought so snacks.
During dinner, they could nibble on the snacks while chatting before the dishes arrived, without just having to sip on dry tea.
Stumbling upon a tea shop, Lu Youxi also casually bought a box of fine tea to give to the waiter to brew at the restaurant.
When it was almost ti, they headed to the restaurant.
Just reaching the restaurant entrance, they saw Zhou Shuyan leading Xu Jingmin, walking ahead of them, about to enter the restaurant.
