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 men.

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 men.

Her peers had all become unattractive to her.

Not to mention the various issues with relatives and their children.

There would likely be a need for a financial settlement between both parties, with the children of each wary of one another, which stripped any meaning 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 something 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 home 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 meant, 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 home early to beat the holiday rush.

Seeing that Lu Youxi was giving them time off so early, they were quite reluctant.

"Boss, we don’t really need to take time 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 home early," Ji Deyi added.

"Even workaholics need to set some 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 time with both classes and work. Now, hurry home and get some proper rest. Don’t sneak into the office during your half-month break," Lu Youxi said.

"You two can do whatever you want at home; 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 somewhat reluctant but nodded in agreement.

"Alright, hurry up and pack up; go home," Lu Youxi urged, "Look at you guys; beards grown out for days without shaving, hair not washed for days? Go home, take a good bath, shave, and sleep."

Lu Youxi would bet that both of them would fall asleep the moment 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 time 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 time 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 some 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 something nice this time."

Liu Yushu, feeling left out, said, "You need to buy something 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 time 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 home 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 home, 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 somewhat unaccustomed.

In the afternoon, once it was time, 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 some 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 time, 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.
