Happy time is always short-lived and passes in a blink of an eye. It has been more than half a month since Hu Fan and Ouyang Wanqing came back, and today is New Year's Eve.
"Grandpa, my grandson wishes you a happy new year."
Hu Fan came to the ground and kowtowed heavily to Hu Shengtian.
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Wanqing quickly stood up from her seat and was about to kowtow to Hu Shengtian, but he stopped her.
"Girl, you don't need to kowtow. You haven't come through yet. Grandpa has accepted your wishes."
Hu Shengtian shook his head and said to Ouyang Wanqing. Hu Fan also wanted to speak without her knocking, but was stopped by Ouyang Wanqing's look.
"Grandpa, since I have decided to be Hu Fan's girlfriend, I will never change. I will kowtow to you today."
After saying that, she knelt down and knelt down deeply. Upon seeing this, Hu Fan quickly helped her up, then reached out and held her hand tightly, saying nothing.
"Mr. Mu, I would like to propose a glass of wine to you. Please take care of grandpa in the days to come."
Hu Fan drank the wine glass in one gulp and filled Mu Daozi's glass with wine.
"I don't dare. How could I let the young master pour me wine? It's such a sin!"
Mu Daozi seemed to be frightened and stood up quickly. He did not dare to drink the glass of wine.
"Also, you don't need to call me little master from now on. Just call me Xiaofan like grandpa."
At this time, he wanted to say something, but Hu Shengtian stopped him with his hand.
"Just listen to Xiao Fan, otherwise he won't be able to leave without worry. Sit down and drink this glass of wine."
Mu Daozi was deeply moved at this moment. He had lived alone in a dilapidated temple in Zizhu Mountain for 18 years. He originally thought that he would die alone in the temple.
But who would have thought that Hu Shengtian found him, and he thought he was bound to die. However, Hu Shengtian did not kill him, but took him back to Changbai Mountain. He has long remembered this kindness of not killing him.
From that day on, he decided to be a pawn by Hu Shengtian's side, and Hu Fan was his young master. He never dreamed that he would be able to drink wine from Hu Fan today, and he was really frightened.
"Xiao Shao...Xiao Fan, then I will drink this glass of wine. Don't worry, I will take good care of Mr. Hu."
After saying that, he drank Hu Fanjing's wine in one gulp, with tears in his eyes. At this time, even if he was asked to die, he felt it was worth it. "Mr. Mu, Wanqing would like to offer you a glass of wine."
Ouyang Wanqing filled Mu Daozi's wine glass again.
"good!"
This time Mu Daozi didn't say anything and drank the wine in the glass cleanly.
"Zhao Meng, Xiaofan and Mr. Hu spared the life of you and my nephew. From now on, your life is not your own, but Xiaofan's. Do you understand?"
At this time, Mu Daozi turned to look at Zhao Meng and said seriously.
"Uncle...I understand!"
Zhao Meng's heart trembled. He knew what his uncle meant. From now on, his and his uncle's lives belonged to the Hu family.
"Old Mu, that's a bit much... Let's not talk about it anymore. Today is a happy day for us to drink..."
After eating, Ouyang Wanqing and Hu Fan went back to the house to sleep. They lay on the bed holding hands and saying nothing.
After a while, the two of them turned around at the same time, as if they had a tacit understanding, and looked at each other affectionately. Then Ouyang Wanqing obediently closed her eyes, and the two hugged each other deeply. Hu Fan lowered his head and kissed deeply on the lips. To Ouyang Wanqing...
After a night of silence, the two of them got up early the next morning. According to the custom in the north, Hu Fan went to the elders' home to pay New Year's greetings.
"Brother, we are here!"
After a while, Daxiong's parents, Li Da, and Jiuya's parents came here. Their parents came to pay Hu Shengtian New Year greetings.
Afterwards, Hu Fan and the other children went to the homes of their elders in Lijia Village to pay New Year greetings.
After completing the circle, it was almost noon. Hu Fan and Ouyang Wanqing were leaving to go back to Suzhou today. They would not arrive until the next day by plane. Hu Fan, who was in his third year of junior high school, still had important things to do.
"Grandpa, Mr. Mu, Wanqing and Brother Zhao, I and I are going back to Suzhou first. You two, please take care!"
"Take care, old man!"
"Uncle, Master Hu, please take care of yourself!"
The three of them said goodbye to Hu Shengtian and Mu Daozi, and embarked on their way back to Suzhou.
Before they left, Hu Shengtian called Hu Fan into the room and handed him something.
"You take the Heaven-turning Seal with you. Be sure to put it away. It will help you in the future. Don't let anyone take it away."
Hu Shengtian told him how to use the Heaven-turning Seal, and even warned him not to let anyone except himself take the Heaven-turning Seal away.
In this way, Hu Fan left Lijia Village with the Heaven-turning Seal. When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Daxiong and the three of them.
"Brother, bring your sister-in-law back when you have time."
"Hu Fan, you must take good care of my sister-in-law. Otherwise, if you let me know that you are not good to her, I will go to Suzhou."
"Brother, take care. Brother Zhao, we are not with you. If you can help me with anything, we would be very grateful!"
Parting is always sad, but there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. No matter how reluctant you are, you will eventually separate. Looking at the three people walking away, Jiuya couldn't help crying anymore...
The next day, their plane landed at the airport on time. Zhao Meng couldn't be with Hu Fan now. There must be a lot of informants from the Li family or the Su family in Suzhou.
They separated after getting off the plane. Hu Fan gave him the phone numbers of Liu Siyang and Wu Bu. He could just contact them directly...
The old house of the Chen family...
When the two of them returned to the Chen family, the Chen family was very lively. All the small families with some local fame came here. They also knew that they might not be able to get in, but they still had to give away things.
"The Chen family is different from the past. In the previous contest between the Chen family and the Su family, we thought the Su family would win. We listened to those people's slander and did not lend a helping hand. Now we can't even get in..."
"Hey...who says it's not the case? Not to mention how difficult my business is now. I used to be able to make a fortune from the Chen family, but now I can only keep it from going bankrupt..."
"Did you see it? Those who went in were all the direct relatives of the Chen family. Now they are all rising..."
When Hu Fan and Ouyang Wanqing passed by them, they heard their discussion. Hu Fan only wanted to say four words about their experience, why bother in the first place!
Butler Chen was waiting outside the door to greet the guests. He was so busy that he was on his back. When he saw Hu Fan and his two men walking from a distance, he hurriedly ran over to greet them.
When those people saw Butler Chen's movements, their eyes followed him until he stopped next to Hu Fan.
"Xiaofan, why didn't you tell me in advance when you were coming back so that I could send someone to pick you up..."
Seeing such enthusiastic Butler Chen, the heads of the small families who were standing outside the door but did not go in were shocked. They all wondered who these two young men were, and they were able to make Butler Chen run all the way to greet them personally.
