As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Chi Yuan Xia received strong condemnation from all sides, among which his grandfather Chi Wanxiao was the most severe.

With a straight face, he asked with some displeasure: "Seeing that the New Year is about to be ushered in, where did you run tonight?" ”

Chi Yuan Xia cautiously sloppy: "I have something to go out for, isn't it that I didn't delay coming back for New Year's Eve, grandpa, such a good day, don't be angry." ”

Chi Wanxiao snorted: "What is so important?" Do you want to go out tonight? ”

"Hey, grandpa, this is my secret!" Ikehara Natsu continued to use his invincible cheeky skills and said with a grin.

Chi Wanxiao glanced at her helplessly: "Forget it, hurry up and come over and eat something!" We all ate for an hour or two, and you didn't come back until it was almost over. ”

Although he was very angry, but when he saw that Ikehara Xia came back safely, he didn't lose his temper with her, after all, it was the last night of the year, so he wouldn't scold her, let her pass in peace, and don't bring bad luck to the New Year.

When he got closer, Chi Wanxiao asked Xia Weixi to add a chair, and said to him with a happy smile: "Young man, I've been out with Xia Xia for so long, and I haven't eaten dinner, so I must be hungry, right?" Let's eat together! ”

Xia Weixi politely refused: "Thank you, grandpa, but I'm not hungry, you can use it first!" ”

"You don't have to be polite with us, it's all your own family anyway, and now that we're almost done, you can eat with her for a while."

Xia Weixi still wanted to shirk it again, and Chi Fangyuan on the side also smiled gently: "Weixi, don't be embarrassed, hurry up and eat something, don't be too restrained here." ”

Seeing that everyone said this, Xia Weixi couldn't continue to refuse, so he sat down in the seat prepared for him by Old Man Chi and ate slowly with them.

Because this is the traditional New Year's Eve banquet of the Chi family, it has lasted unhurriedly from more than nine o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock in the evening, and now although nearly two hours have passed, everyone has been drinking and chatting, but they have not eaten much.

Although Natsu Ikehara and the others came back late, the exquisite dishes and snacks were always served, and the others were eating casually without hurrying.

However, all the women here have stopped eating for a long time because they want to stay in shape, and they just drink red wine and champagne slowly, and talk about boring topics such as beauty and clothes.

In a blink of an eye, the time jumped to the zero o'clock of the New Year, the melodious bell rang from a long distance, Chi Wanxiao also happily raised his wine glass, shook it lightly at the people on the table, and said with a smile: "The new year has started again, come, let's all have a good drink, the old year has passed, and next year will be better!" ”

"Yes, it will be better, and the old man's body will become healthier and healthier!"

Everyone also raised their wine glasses, said festive and auspicious words, and clinked glasses together.

"Happy New Year! Wishing you prosperity! ”

Everyone shouted in unison with joy, especially a few children who were particularly excited.

However, at the moment of clinking glasses, Xia Weixi's gaze suddenly fixed on a certain place and did not move away for a long time.

It was a pair of particularly beautiful hands, as white as ceramic, with almost no fine lines at all, slender and slender fingers, very delicate and gorgeous nails, and every little detail was perfectly decorated.

The most important thing is that the wrist, which is as white as frost and snow, carries a transparent emerald green jade bracelet.
