Chapter 966 - Its All About Money (1/2)

At the dinner table when Xiu placed the steamed dumplings, she even told everyone, ”These ones are made by our family's little helpers. Aren't they such sweethearts?”

”Oh, this one is made by my grandkids,” asked Xin Zimen as he looked enthusiastically at the strangely shaped dumplings. But his expressions didn't change at all. In fact, he stared at them lovingly as he said, ”I need to give these a try.” He took one and ate it without any hesitation. ”Mmm... This is delicious. It seems I need to add a reward with this year's red envelopes.”​​

Not only him, everyone gushed over those dumplings. For a moment it felt like the ones made by Xiu had lost favor but did she care? Hell no! She was more than pleased to see how these kids were happy just hearing all these compliments. And their ċhėsts puffed up in pride. How adorable!

It was just this easy to please the kids. Who would have known that the kids were so simple?

Xiu also sat down to enjoy dinner with everyone. For today, she didn't have to pay attention to her son at all and could concentrate on eating her own meal. After all, today there were so many people who were more than eager to take care of Rowan.

After the dinner, they all gathered in the lounge. Although the tv was turned on to watch the Spring Festival Gala, not a single person was paying attention. As they all gathered after so long, they had plenty to talk about.

”Weiwei, since next year it's your turn to host the new year's dinner, make sure you bring home your daughter-in-law by then,” said Zhao Huan.

”Jie, you don't need to remind me,” said Zhao Wei. ”If it's in my hands, I'll just take my daughter-in-law home right now.”

”So simple?” asked Xiu. ”How can I let you take Cali so simply?” She looked at Dylan and she warned him, ”You made a whole show when you're proposing her. You better make it worth it for the wedding ceremony.”

”Don't worry, boss! I'll hire you to be my wedding planner!” said Dylan.

”I'm quite expensive,” said Xiu.

”There is no problem with that,” Dylan also joined her to play along.

”Since Xiu is the wedding planner,” started Nora. ”How about I throw you a bachelor's party? Want one?”

Dylan found something odd with Nora's expression and he really didn't want to agree. He knew it was a trap. It had to be a trap. But he couldn't say no on this occasion as well. Nora definitely brought up this topic at this time because she knew it'd be impossible for him to escape.

”Sure. Let Nora do it. She is really good at throwing parties,” said Zhao Wei. ”Since you all are managing it. I can relax. My only job is to take my daughter-in-law shopping, right?”

”Don't forget Nora when it comes to shopping,” reminded Ying.

”Ying Jie, you don't worry. Even if I missed the chance to shop for Cali, I won't miss it for you. I'll take you around shopping myself.”

Ying shuddered at the thought of going shopping with Nora. She didn't know how much Nora changed while she was away but she didn't believe her shopaholic nature changed. And if that didn't change it meant that Nora would drag her around shops so much that she'd even lose the energy to walk down the aisle.

She didn't want to experience that. Not at all!

”Mom, when are you giving me my red envelope?” asked Nora as she sat down close to her mom.
