Su Yue looked at Tong Pei and frowned.
All these years, although she was in the army, she still understood her son, so she could also notice Tong Pei’s abnormality.
“Are you hiding something from me?” Su Yue asked.
“It hasn’t been decided yet. If I tell you now, it won’t be good if something goes wrong in the future,” Tong Pei said with a smile.
If Su Yue found out about Guo Miao now, she would definitely not be able to resist looking for her. It would not be good if Guo Miao was scared.
“Alright, daughter-in-law, don’t ask anymore. Let Xiao Pei judge for himself.” Old Lady Tong smiled and said, “After Tong Xin and Zhong Wei got married, our family hasn’t had a happy occasion for a long time. You young ones have to work hard!”
“Grandma, we’re still in school. How can we work hard? If that’s the case, I’m really going to fall in love.” Tong Ning laughed.
The school management in Country K was generally not very strict. Many children began to fall in love when they were in junior high school.
However, the Tong family’s upbringing was strict, and Tong Ning had never been in a relationship.
“You youngsters should also make more plans. Previously, the marriage between your sister Tong Xin and brother-in-law Zhong Wei were both decided when they were in high school. You mustn’t fall behind!” Su Yue said.
Su Yue was a very open-minded parent. She did not mind the children falling in love at a young age. After all, most of the Tong children were very outstanding. Even if they fell in love, it would not affect their studies.
“But didn’t Tong Yao’s school produce a very powerful high school student who solved some theory?” Su Yue said.
When Tong Yao heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He choked on the soup that he had drunk halfway.
“That’s right. She’s the Almighty of our school. She’s already skipped a grade and is in her third year of high school.” Tong Yao quickly said, “Goddess Miao is very powerful and isn’t someone 1 can measure up to.”
As Tong Yao said this, he stared at his fifth uncle from the corner of his eye.
Tong Pei drank the soup with a normal expression and did not look over.
“You should get to know such a powerful girl,” Su Yue teased.
Although these words were a joke, they still shocked Tong Pei.
“I wouldn’t dare to. Someone like me is definitely not worthy of Goddess Miao. She is like the goddess of our school. I’ve always treated her as my idol.”
Su Yue’s interest was piqued. “That’s amazing. It seems that Haicheng is full of talent now. You guys have to work hard.”
Tong Yao quickly nodded and continued to eat.
If Su Yue found out that Guo Miao and his Fifth Uncle were together, he would probably be very surprised.
The Tong family and the Guo family were happy and harmonious, but the Guo family in Haicheng was otherwise.
Even on the night of the New Year’s Eve dinner, Guo Ming didn’t go home.
Ever since Guo Ming got together with his secretary, he didn’t care about the company’s affairs at all. He didn’t go home either. He spent all his time in some brothels in Haicheng.
The Guo family in Haicheng had already become a joke in the circle of celebrities in Haicheng.
On the eve of the Lunar New Year, the servants hurriedly cooked a meal. Guo Hu, Guo Lin, and Cheng Yu were eating at the dining table.
Because the servants also wanted to go home for the New Year, the dishes were prepared early and were ready by dinner time. Almost everything was cold, but no one was willing to go and heat it up. Three people were sitting on both sides of the table, eating without savoring the taste as they picked up the morsels of food on their plates.
Cheng Yu was much thinner than before, and her cheeks were deeply sunken.
“Mom, it’s almost the new year. Let’s have our own reunion dinner this year,” Guo Hu asked carefully.
Cheng Yu only raised her eyes and nodded weakly. “It’s up to you. I don’t have much strength.”
“You don’t have much strength. If Guo Miao were here, you two would have the strength, right, Mom?” Guo Lin laughed mockingly. Her dyed hair had already fallen out. Now, her hair was withered and yellow like a handful of dry grass.
“What are you talking about, Lin? Didn’t we say not to mention Guo Miao? Now that we’re a family, can’t we just live like this?” Guo Hu frowned and asked.
At the mention of Guo Miao’s name, Cheng Yu’s condition worsened, and she trembled slightly.
“Back then, your family took the wrong child, and you didn’t want Guo Miao first.. Now you’re blaming me?”
