Chapter 562: Chapter 561, Delaying Tactic

Upon hearing Xu Qingsong’s words, the grand dining room suddenly erupted in laughter, filled with a celebratory atmosphere.

Xu Shaochun grinned: "Dad, the day after tomorrow is the second day of the New Year. I think it’s necessary to give Xu Wendong a call and have him come home to pay respects to our ancestors!"

"This way, we can prevent him from showing up at the Xu Family tonight."

"It can serve as a buffer, allowing our Xu Family to wait for Master Ye’s arrival."

Xu Qingsong’s eyes lit up: "What you say makes a lot of sense."

------

Ruyi Huafu Hotel.

As everyone drank and laughed, waiting for the New Year’s bell to ring.

Xu Wendong, however, received a call from an unfamiliar number.

The phone number showed it was from Jingdu.

So.

He pressed the answer button, and a familiar voice came through: "Is that Wendong? I’m your second uncle, Xu Qingsong!"

Xu Wendong chuckled: "Second Uncle, Happy New Year!"

To be honest.

He didn’t expect Xu Qingsong to call him.

Xu Qingsong laughed heartily and said, "And a Happy New Year to you too. I received the gift you sent to the Xu Family, very unique."

Then he changed the topic and asked, "You don’t think that sending Tan Shou over would scare me, do you?"

Xu Wendong dismissively replied: "Whether my Second Uncle is scared, you should know in your heart!"

Xu Qingsong said: "Since you’ve come to Jingdu, it’s necessary to come and offer incense to your father. It’s an obligation we Sons of Man should fulfill!"

Xu Wendong instinctively clenched his fist, his voice icy: "If I don’t dismember the murderer who killed my father, how am I worthy of offering incense to him?"

Xu Qingsong: "The ancestor worship ceremony is at ten in the morning on the second day. Come back to offer him incense then!"

"See you on the second day!" Xu Wendong said as he hung up the phone.

Then he called Ye Qingxin over and whispered: "Have someone closely monitor every move of the Xu Family. I have a feeling that Xu Qingsong inviting me back on the second day for ancestor worship is a stalling tactic!"

Xu Wendong was unsure of what medicine Xu Qingsong was selling in his gourd.

But none of that mattered.

What mattered was that he wanted everyone in the Xu Family to pay for the mistakes of the past.

Ye Qingxin shrugged: "Ye Gucheng has emerged!"

Xu Wendong was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood why Xu Qingsong dared to ask him back for ancestor worship. He had found a helper!

"If he intends to use Ye Gucheng to get rid of me, then he’s barking up the wrong tree." The young man had a faintly disdainful smile on his face.

Ye Qingxin gritted her teeth and said: "Ye Gucheng is mine. I’ll kill him with my own hands to avenge my mother!"

At this moment.

The television sounded with the New Year’s countdown.

Everyone present joined in the countdown.

As the New Year’s bell rang.

The sky above Jingdu erupted with a deafening roar, countless fireworks soared into the sky, brilliant and beautiful beyond words.

Xu Wendong left early, returning to his room to send New Year messages to his friends and various video calls.

This left him feeling like he couldn’t be in two places at once, unable to manage because he had too many confidantes, making it hard to handle.

Many people complained to him about why he didn’t open a video call with them first, to which he could only lie that someone else was wishing him a Happy New Year.

While Xu Wendong was exchanging New Year greetings with those confidantes, Nie Xiaoyu also returned to the room.

Because of the alcohol, her cheeks were slightly red, resembling a ripe peach, as if a gentle squeeze would release sweet and delicious juice.

It made one want to take a bite.

Watching Xu Wendong leaning on the headboard opening up a video, she didn’t speak but knelt at the foot of the bed, slowly undoing the buttons of Xu Wendong’s pants, and with her delicate fingers, she unzipped them.

And by this time, Xu Wendong had already embarrassingly swelled up.

Nie Xiaoyu, her face flushed, released the proud object, shyly opened her mouth to take it in, and then awkwardly began to move...

Xu Wendong suddenly felt an electrifying sensation, almost letting out a moan.

Chen Qiaomu, on the other end of the video, didn’t notice the change in Xu Wendong’s mood and said gloomily: "Wendong, I feel like my mom is lying. She doesn’t have a soulmate at all!"

Xu Wendong was completely embarrassed: "Why do you say that?"

Chen Qiaomu: "She lied last time, saying she would bring her soulmate over. But in the end? The whole family waited so long and she never showed."

"Also, now it’s the festive season, and I haven’t seen her chatting with any of her so-called close friends."

"Even if my mom is indifferent, her confidantes should at least make a video call or phone call to wish a Happy New Year, right?"

"Any person would make a call or video."

"Simply doesn’t seem human!"

Xu Wendong felt a loss of face from being scolded, but he absolutely couldn’t say anything because he was Chen Qiaomu’s mom’s soulmate!

If Chen Qiaomu knew he was simultaneously involved with both mother and daughter, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He cleared his throat and said: "Qiaomu, I know you care about Auntie, but everyone has their own life. We can’t impose ourselves!"

"Just as your family hasn’t interfered with the two of us, it’s a way of respecting the two of us."

"Auntie already has a tough time. Why give her such mental stress? Letting her live the way she wants isn’t it better?"

Chen Qiaomu: "I understand everything you say, but... I just hope she has a companion, so she won’t be lonely in the future."

Xu Wendong: "Doesn’t she still have us?"

Chen Qiaomu gave him a look and grumbled: "Is that the same?"

"The children’s company is just company."

"And there’s a kind of company that children can’t provide."

Xu Wendong smiled without saying a word, though he really wanted to say, I can accompany your mom as a companion, but in the end, he abandoned the idea.

Chen Qiaomu changed the subject and said: "How about you create a small account, add my mom, and chat about life? Meanwhile, probe whether she has a male partner or not?"

Xu Wendong shuddered: "That’s not polite, is it?"

Hesitating, he carefully asked: "Moreover, with my charm, what if Auntie falls for me, what should I do?"

Chen Qiaomu sneered with disdain: "Why are you so narcissistic?"

Xu Wendong chuckled: "If one has no long-term worries, they will have near-term troubles. We must think through all the possibilities that could happen."

Chen Qiaomu on the other end of the video fell into deep thought. After a long while, face flushed, she shyly but firmly said: "If my mom really falls for you... then... you will be her soulmate!"

Xu Wendong shuddered instantly, his pupils filled with astonishment. He had clearly not expected Chen Qiaomu to say something like that.

Chen Qiaomu, flushed and nervous, said: "I know this goes against human ethics, it will be talked about."

"But I trust your character. Being my mom’s soulmate definitely won’t make her suffer."

Xu Wendong swallowed and couldn’t resist asking: "You wouldn’t be dreaming of the three of us sleeping in the same bed, would you?"
