After parting ways with Chu Ning and Wen Hui, Yun Jian held hands with Yun Zhu while Yun Zhu had another hand holding on to Si Yi's large palm as they went to the carpark.
It was six or seven in the evening, night came fast in the winter. As they went to the parking lot, they drove Yun Zhu home.
Time seemed to speed up before Lunar New Year as the eve came unannounced.
Si Yi had never celebrated the holiday. ing from a family of the armaments business, his father, Si Chu, did not really tend to these and was usually unconcerned about him. Hence, Si Yi had lived nineteen years without celebrating Lunar New Year once.
Three days before the festival, he had gone back to An Hun Group. Yun Jian made sure he remembered to e back on the night of the new year before he left.
A family should spend Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, together.
The word 'family' made Si Yi's heart squeeze with warmth. After promising Yun Jian, he left with Ya Dang and Mo Sen.
There were a lot of things waiting for him in An Hun. After all, an assassin organization was not like Gu Sha Mercenaries—he could not just sit around as the boss like Yun Jian did.
Gu Sha Mercenaries distributed their missions online and their tasks were considered done when they contacted the clients and pleted the missions. As for An Hun Group, they trained batch after batch of assassins and secret agents.
They were fundamentally different.
Xu Zetian's speed of recovery was amazing. With the help of his wife, Lin Wanru, he could now go back to Falcon Hall and take care of matters that required brains instead of brawn.
On the night of the Lunar New Year, everyone went back to their family for a reunion.
Qin Yirou planned to take Yun Jian, Yun Yi, and Yun Zhu back to the town to her birth home to spend the festival as she was a true born and bred Xinjiang Town local after all. Of course, she should go home on this night of the Spring Festival.
Yun Jian had packed up and was ready to follow Qin Yirou back at four in the evening. Holding Yun Zhu's hand and waiting in vain for Si Yi, she finally left a note in his room before taking the bus back to Xinjiang Town with Qin Yirou.
Since the last time they met, her grandmother, Zhang Meihua, had been much more watchful of her attitude toward Qin Yirou and Yun Jian, especially after she heard from Qin Fangfang and family about Yun Jian being New Cruise's director!
Back when she had first heard it, she was pletely dumbstruck. She had never thought the granddaughter she looked down at the most was now the director of New Cruise, the pany that had taken over the country by storm!
It boosted Zhang Meihua's ego and had been something she kept boasting about in front of her distant relatives for the duration. In spite of it, she had never told them that Yun Jian was New Cruise's director because her youngest daughter, Qin Fangfang, had told her that Yun Jian did not like people spreading this around.
Zhang Meihua was all about fawning over Yun Jian now. After all, she had her hopes high for Yun Jian to take care of her when she got older.
Just the fact that Yun Jian had started a pany was already a household knowledge in Xinjiang Town.
Qin Yirou was well aware of it too. When she asked Yun Jian after first finding out about it, the latter had said that she knew Mayor Gu and had suggested a good proposal for him to invest in.
Qin Yirou believed in the made-up story and did not ask more. In fact, if she pursued it, Yun Jian might have just e clean.
By the time Qin Yirou returned to Xinjiang Town with Yun Jian, Yun Yi, and little Yun Zhu, Zhang Meihua was already hosting a banquet in her house.
People in town would usually host their neighbors and distant relatives to a good meal before Lunar New Year.
When the family of four came back, someone spoke up about Yun Jian, directing the words to Zhang Meihua, "Oh, Meihua, is this your granddaughter Yun Jian? She's so young and she's already founded her pany? Huh? Not bad, not bad!"
The words sounded like a pliment but the person's tone did not sound like he was praising Yun Jian.
After all, most of them were skeptical about a young girl like Yun Jian starting her own pany. It must only be a tiny pany whose name has never even heard of!
