Chapter 697: Warm New Year’s Eve Dinner

Mo Jiang and Liu Hui made way for them and said, “Come in.”

As soon as Mo Long and elder Mo entered the house, Jiang Yu pressed them down on the sofa and said, “I’ll make the New Year’s Eve dinner.”

Liu Hui felt that staying in the living room would delay the atmosphere between the three generations, so she went to the kitchen to help Jiang Yu Cook.

There was also a carp in the fridge. Jiang Yu decided to make braised carp for the New Year’s Eve dinner this year.

She was taking the fish out to defrost when she saw Liu Hui come into the kitchen.

Liu Hui asked her, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Jiang Yu hurriedly said, “There’s no need for help, Auntie. You can go and sit in the living room.”

Liu Hui said, “It’s okay. The three men are sitting in the living room. I don’t have anything to talk about, so I might as well come to the kitchen to help you.”

Jiang Yu didn’t refuse again and said, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Liu Hui took out a bunch of fresh vegetables from the fridge and stood in front of the sink to choose vegetables.

She said, “Before this, Mo Long’s father and I always thought that you were with Mo Long because of the Mo family’s money. After all, your status is there. How many women with your status don’t want to fly to the top and become a Phoenix?”

Jiang Yu cut the meat cleanly and said with a smile, “But it’s not that easy to be a phoenix.”

Liu Hui also smiled, “Who said so? Later, Mo Long’s father somehow found out that you were running a company. He was waiting to see you make a fool of yourself and see how you would end up. But he never expected that you would save a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. When he found out about it, his expression changed.”

Jiang Yu did not have much contact with Mo Jiang, and it was hard to imagine how his expression would change.

Liu Hui continued, “Although he did not say anything, I have been with him for so many years. I knew what he meant with every move and even a look. So when I saw his expression, I knew that his opinion of you had changed.”

Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It seems that ability is more persuasive.”

Liu Hui nodded, she said, “I was also very surprised at that time. Although there were rich ladies and businesswomen who interacted with me, there wasn’t a single one as young as you. I always wanted you to leave Mo Long because I felt that you didn’t have the ability to help him in his career. But now, I’ve changed my mind.”

Jiang Yu’s hand paused for a moment before she smiled and said, “I’ll do better.”

Liu Hui didn’t stop picking dishes and said, “Got it.”

An hour later, a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner was served.

The atmosphere between the three men in the living room was quite good. There didn’t seem to be any displeasure.

Jiang Yu arranged the dishes and said, “The New Year’s Eve dinner is ready. After the meal, the new year will come.”

The family sat at the dining table and ate. Although the atmosphere was not warm, it was not cold.

During this period, Jiang Yu and Liu Hui even told a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

Mo Jiang was surprised that his wife had such a good relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Yu. Mo Long was also surprised. Since when did Jiang Yu have such a good relations.h.i.+p with his mother?

However, seeing how happy the two of them were, Mo Jiang and Mo Long did not say anything.

After dinner, Liu Hui pulled Mo Long aside and secretly gave him a red packet.

Mo Long looked at the red packet and said helplessly, “Mom, I’m already so old. I don’t need the New Year’s money anymore.”

Liu Hui rolled her eyes at him and said, “Who said it was for you? I asked you to pa.s.s it to Xiao Yu.”

Mo Long looked at Liu Hui in surprise and was speechless.

Xiao Yu? Why was it such a friendly way of addressing her? When did their relations.h.i.+p become so good?

However, Mo Long still accepted the red packet and asked, “Why didn’t you just give it to Yu’er?”

Liu Hui said, “Isn’t it your father? He clearly had a little bit of acceptance for Xiao Yu in his heart, but he refused to say it out loud because he wanted to save face. Because of his worthless reputation, I couldn’t even give her a red packet.”

Liu Hui was indeed distressed when she said this. Mo Long could not help but laugh when he saw this.

He said, “I know, Mom.”

Mo Long left Liu Hui’s place and walked over to Jiang Yu’s side. He said, “My mom has something for you.”

Jiang Yu looked at him and asked in confusion, “What is it?”

Mo Long took out the red packet and said, “It’s a red packet.”

Jiang Yu was shocked. “Why would she give me a red packet?”
