<h4>Chapter 238</h4>


    When Lu Zheng heard Huo Shao Ting''s harsh words, her heart tightened and she looked at him with a slightly aggrieved expression: "Can''t you let me think about it?"


    Huo Shao Ting didn''t answer her, but just looked at her calmly.


    Lu Zheng could onlypromise. She just wanted to have thest word.


    After marrying into the Huo family for so many years, although her mother-inw treated her well, she knew that she had never gained her mother-inw''s approval.


    This frustrated her quite a bit, so she wanted to assert herself with the authority of the housekeeper.


    But her mother-inw had such high status and directly gave it to her daughter-inw.


    This eldest daughter-inw was the apple of the eldest son''s eye. The olddy knew that she had wronged the eldest son, and at most she would be angry for two or three days. This matter would be over like this.


    It was precisely because she knew she was being controlled like this that Lu Zheng felt a little unwilling.


    "Alright, I know. I''ll have Mrs. Wang take it downter."


    Lu Zheng sighed, picked up her phone and browsed it, ignoring him.


    After getting the answer he wanted, Huo Shao Ting went downstairs.


    Seeing hime down, Rong Dai''s eyes were fixed on him.


    Seeing her so nervous, Huo Shao Ting felt a little ufortable in his heart.


    "I''m tired, so I won''t keep youpany on New Year''s Eve. It''s just a formality anyway, so I''d better go to rest early."


    The olddy knew very well what Huo Shao Ting was going to do. She looked at the time, it was almost midnight, and this New Year''s Eve was almost over.


    After instructing them, she got up and went upstairs to rest.


    After the olddy left, Rong Dai was a little impatient and asked Huo Shao Ting with her eyes.


    "Sister-inw, don''t worry. You''re so smart, you can definitely handle it with ease."


    Of course Huo Shao Jie also knew what Huo Shao Ting had just gone to do. In order to avoid being pushed to get married himself, and to avoid trouble for his future wife, he had to stand on the side of his big brother and sister-inw.


    "Mom just has that personality. She just can''t ept it for a while, she''ll be fine tomorrow, trust me."


    The younger uncle''s exnation didn''t make Rong Dai feel much relief. If her mother-inw cared so much about this matter, it would be much more difficult for her to handle household affairs in the future.


    "Sister-inw, what second brother said is right. Mom is just like that. It will be fine after tonight."


    Huo Mei Shu also chimed in from the side. This was not her ttering, but she also knew very well what her mother was like.


    If this family was really left for her mother to take care of, wouldn''t it get messed up?


    Seeing the two siblings sing in harmony, Rong Dai didn''t know whether tough or cry.


    "Don''t worry, she won''t hold it against you, trust me."


    Huo Shao Ting held her hand and gently reassured her.


    At this moment, Mrs. Wang came downstairs with red envelopes and a box, a kindly smile on her face.


    "These are the red envelopes from Madam for the two young masters, youngdy and madam."


    Mrs. Wang handed out four red envelopes to them, and finally handed the red wood box to Rong Dai.


    "This is also from Madam to Madam. This is Madam''s first New Year since Madam entered the door, so this gift is appropriate."


    Mrs. Wang knew how to speak ording to the situation. She also knew what had just happened, so after giving Rong Dai the box, she watched Rong Dai open the box.


    She sighed and said with some emotion, "Madam ordered the material for these bangles two months ago and had them specially crafted. Madam said Madam has moisturized skin, and this pink jadeite is rare. "


    "She said these bangles would definitely look good on Madam, and these were the only two, so Madam bought both for Madam!"


    Rong Dai could see that the material for these pink bangles was umon, but since her mother-inw was still willing to give her a New Year''s gift, did that mean her attitude had changed?


    "Sister-inw, what did I say? You can rest assured, Mom won''t hold these things against you!"


    Huo Shao Jie also chimed in to help.


    Rong Dai looked at Huo Shao Ting, and after seeing him nod, she finally felt relieved.


    She put away the red envelopes and bangles and joined Huo Shao Ting and his two siblings to keep vigil on New Year''s Eve.


    The younger generation kept vigil on New Year''s Eve in order to bring luck to the elders.


    Rong Dai didn''t expect that the Huo family would also observe this custom. Although she could often see the three siblings, the atmosphere had never been as harmonious as today.


    "Sister-inw, do you y games?"


    Rong Dai had just made tea when the young auntie sat next to her and asked if she yed games.


    "No." Rong Dai shook her head. It had taken her a lot of effort just to learn how to use a cell phone. And she was busy with work, so when did she have time to y games?


    Huo Mei Shu suddenly looked desperate: "My crush didn''t even reply to me. Today is New Year''s Eve, they must all be having reunion dinners. Sister-inw, you don''t y games either. I wanted to find someone to team up with, we''re bored every year keeping vigil on New Year''s Eve, I''m going bald from it."


    Rong Dai could only smile apologetically. Keeping vigil in the pce in her previous life, at least there were musicians and dancers performing, and various popr programs to watch, so it wasn''t so boring.


    But with so few people in the Huo family, and with no interaction with Huo Er Ye''s family, this New Year was bound to feel much colder.


    "I''ll teach you."


    Huo Shao Ting suddenly handed his phone to her, and Huo Mei Shu''s eyes immediately lit up!


    Rong Dai took the phone and looked at the game that was downloading. She nced at the TV program, which was a rerun, and there really wasn''t anything fun to watch.


    "Then I''ll join too." Huo Shao Jie chimed in and took out his phone too.


    "But four people can''t y together. It has to be a duo, or a trio, or five."


    Huo Mei Shu''s excitement had just subsided, and she was stumped on the spot.


    "Xu Jiang, or your crush can also join."


    Huo Shao Jie teased her, angering Huo Mei Shu to the point of kicking a cushion flying over to hit him on the head.


    Rong Dai concentrated on learning from Huo Shao Ting.


    "I didn''t expect you to have time to y games." She pouted slightly, ncing at Huo Shao Ting coquettishly with a hint of pretend anger.


    "I used to y when I couldn''t sleep, but now that I have you, I haven''t yed at all."


    Huo Shao Ting smiled lightly and exined to her, unable to resist monopolizing her in the corner of the sofa.


    Rong Dai''s cheeks immediately flushed red, and she didn''t respond.


    After the game was downloaded and installed, Huo Shao Ting gave her his main ount and he used a smurf ount.


    On Huo Mei Shu''s side, she brought in Jiang Xu to make a 5-man team.


    Because Rong Dai was a novice, they werepletely defeated in the first match due to poor coordination.


    "Maybe...you guys just y."


    Rong Dai saw that she had lost stars and felt a little embarrassed, but deep down she also felt a hint of unwillingness.


    She had never conceded defeat halfway through anything she wanted to do before.


    "It''s okay sister-inw, take it slowly. If you lose rank, I''ll just get my big brother to boost it back."


    Huo Mei Shu was focused on the game, but didn''t forget to reassure her.


    In the second round, Huo Shao Ting led her. Rong Dai yed a rtively simple support, but the support was not timely and the couple got killed on the spot.


    Rong Dai''s ears turned red as she nced at the assassin Huo Shao Ting was ying. She asked to switch over.
