Chapter 703: 148: Stunning_1

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingli immediately felt something was off, squinted her eyes, and looked towards Lu Ye, "Lu Da Bluffer, since when did you become interested in fireworks?"

The Lu Ye she knew, if he didn’t like something, he just didn’t like it.

Nobody could force him otherwise.

But now,

Lu Ye actually said he’d go watch the fireworks show just so as not to dampen everyone else’s spirits.

This was just too out of character for Lu Ye!

A woman’s sixth sense told Lu Lingli that there had to be something fishy going on.

"Hmm," Lu Ye nodded slightly, "I’m not really interested, but since the whole family is going, as a member of this family, I naturally can’t be the odd one out."

He spoke with such righteous eloquence, she couldn’t find fault with his logic.

But Lu Lingli still felt something was off.

Since when did Lu Da Bluffer become so considerate?

"Really?" Lu Lingli narrowed her eyes.

"Of course it’s true," Lu Ye said with stern seriousness.

Lu Lingli wanted to say more, but Bai Lu excitedly said, "Sansan, then it’s settled, we’ll go together tonight."

"Hmm," Lu Ye nodded slightly.

The Lin Family.

At eight o’clock in the evening, they began the New Year’s Eve dinner on time.

The Zhao Family parents were there, along with Lin Bingqiang and his family of three, Zhao Cuinong; in total, seven people, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Halfway through the meal, Mother Zhao took out a red envelope and passed it to Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, this is a little something from your Grandpa Zhao and me, wishing you success in the college entrance exams next year and that you may achieve outstanding results."

Lin Wu stood up and took the red envelope with both hands, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma Zhao."

Zhao Cuinong also took out a thick red envelope and handed it to Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, this is from your uncle and me."

"Thank you, Auntie," she replied.

Lin Guixiang also prepared New Year’s money for both Lin Wu and Lin Guodong.

After dinner, Father and Mother Zhao went downstairs to visit neighbors.

Lin Guixiang, Zhao Cuinong, and Lin Bingqiang started playing cards.

Since Tang Dynasty Yipin was located in the city center where fireworks were strictly banned, Lin Wu took a taxi with Lin Guodong to South Street to watch the fireworks show.

Lin Guodong sat next to Lin Wu, bombarding her with questions the entire trip. The curiosities of a child are always bizarre, asking if there are aliens one moment, then why the Earth is round the next. Fortunately, Lin Wu did not find him annoying at all and patiently answered each question.

Even the taxi driver gave Lin Wu an extra glance, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected this young lady, who didn’t look very old, to know so much.

And to be so beautiful.

Like a plum blossom standing defiant against the snow.

Soon, the taxi stopped at the entrance to South Street.

Nowadays, South Street was a famous scenic spot in Qing City, and being New Year’s Eve, it was incredibly festive and crowded.

No sooner had Lin Wu stepped out of the car than Shen Lijun spotted her in the crowd.

No other reason.

It was because Lin Wu was simply too dazzling today.

She was dressed in a figure-hugging wine-red cheongsam, the white mink fur at the collar set off her already fair complexion, making her skin look like fine Hetian jade, smooth and lustrous. With a crystal hairpin of the same color on the side of her hair, it brought her entire presence to life, effortlessly causing all things around her to pale in comparison.

"Xiao Wu, you look so beautiful today!"

Lin Wu haughtily responded, "Are you saying I wasn’t beautiful yesterday?"

"You were beautiful yesterday, but today you are even more so!" Shen Lijun continued, "Is this your New Year’s battle dress?"

"Mhm," Lin Wu nodded slightly.

"It suits you perfectly." Moreover, Shen Lijun couldn’t help but think that Lin Wu, in this cheongsam, bore an even closer resemblance to the elderly person in the picture.

Lin Guodong turned to Shen Lijun, "Sister Lijun, what about me? Do I look handsome today?"

"Handsome! Very handsome!" Shen Lijun pinched Lin Guodong’s cheek.

Lin Guodong immediately puffed out his chest with pride.

He was determined to charm all the little girls on South Street tonight.

Lin Wu then asked, "Where’s Yajing?"

Shen Lijun replied, "Yajing has guests over at her house."

"Oh," Lin Wu nodded slightly.

Linking arms with Lin Wu, Shen Lijun said, "Xiao Wu, the fireworks show starts at eleven thirty, let’s just stroll around for now, and later, Xue Laoliu will also join us."

Thanks to Lin Wu, Shen Lijun had gotten quite familiar with Xue Jinghao.

"Okay."

Tonight, South Street had prepared many activities for the New Year.

The most festive among them was guessing lantern riddles.

Shen Lijun, dragging Lin Wu and Lin Guodong to the front, loudly said, "Let me try to guess one."

The lantern riddles were held by a teahouse.

Hearing this, the owner pointed to the riddles and said, "Then, little miss, please start guessing from the first one."

Shen Lijun looked at the riddle, "’Eighteen times six is a school, a scholar with a cocked tail is bald, the doorman represents a flash, half a step in the Annals is Qin, the beauty of April is gone from the human world?’"
