Chapter 932: Chapter 932 Achieving Results, Celebrating the New Year

The Yuan Family could see that Jia Ning had really come to terms with everything, so everyone’s spirits lifted.

Old Master Yuan laughed and said, "Truly worthy of being Yuan Huaijian’s granddaughter."

It didn’t take long for the news about Zhong Zhaowei to spread in the office. The first to bear the brunt was Zou Lina, who suffered from the ostracism of her colleagues. Previously, with Zhong Zhaowei backing her, she was the one bullying others, but now the tables had turned.

Zou Lina not only had to endure the pointing fingers, the isolation from her female colleagues, but also the meaningful and malicious stares from her male colleagues, driving her to the edge of collapse.

What had she done wrong? Previously, Zhong Zhaowei had mentioned having a partner, but he hadn’t agreed, and she wouldn’t have gotten so close to him. Besides, Zhong Zhaowei had agreed to find an opportunity to break things off, who knew it would turn out like this.

She took leave from work, truly unable to bear the rumors any longer, afraid she would break down completely.

Jia Ning stayed at Luo Qiao’s place for three days, helping Rong Daniang look after Yanyan’s Yueyue, and also learning some cooking from Rong Daniang, swiftly adjusting her mindset and happily returned to work.

These past few days, Luo Qiao had been extremely busy, as the project she was researching with Professor Chang had made groundbreaking progress and was expected to have a product ready before the New Year. If the clinical applications proved successful, it would make a significant contribution to the field of medicine.

Therefore, in the recent days, Luo Qiao worked from dawn till dusk. Finally, with coordinated efforts from all parties, they completed the necessary tests and officially entered the clinical trial phase.

With work winding down, New Year’s Eve arrived. This year, Li Xinyi and Lu Yiting went directly to the Gu family home for the celebrations, and Luo Qiao also brought her two beloved daughters along with Lu Yichen to join the Gu family on New Year’s Eve.

This year, Gu Junfeng and Gu Qihao, the two adopted sons, also brought their families back to Capital City to spend New Year’s with Old Master Gu. Preparations for the New Year’s Eve dinner started from lunchtime, and Luo Qiao specially took to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills.

As everyone settled at the table with the dishes served, Old Master Gu, with a smile, said, "This New Year’s gathering is the most complete our family has ever had. Now that your mother and Tao Ran have avenged their grievances, I have no regrets left in this life, I am content.

It’s not easy for our family to gather together like this. Come, let’s raise our glasses and wish everyone a New Year filled with health, safety, smooth work, success in all endeavors, and may all be well."

Everyone ate and talked, the atmosphere quite pleasant.

After everyone had eaten their fill and relocated to the living room, Auntie Tang served everyone plates of strawberries, oranges, apples, bananas, followed by various dried fruits and preserved fruits.

Gu Ziyi, shocked, exclaimed, "There are even strawberries; that’s wonderful."

Her mother, Qiao Wenhui, cleared her throat and said, "You’re already quite grown, show some composure."

Gu Ziyi bashfully replied, "I just got a bit excited, I didn’t expect to see strawberries in the middle of winter in Capital City."

Old Master Gu picked up a bright red strawberry and said, "These were brought by your second cousins. Help yourself to more if you like them."

Gu Ziyi involuntarily looked towards Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen, the two seemed not to have heard Grandpa’s words, busy entertaining their two little nieces and having a great time.

Gu Ziyi had always known that Grandpa treated them and her second cousins differently. She also knew that her dad was just an adopted son of the Gu Family and couldn’t compete with the three children of the eldest Gu aunt, but she couldn’t help but feel envious.

Every visit, she hoped to perform well to catch Grandpa’s attention, even thinking about staying in Capital City, having inadvertently heard her mom mention that the Gu family possessed many valuable things.

She walked over to Luo Qiao and her family and said, "Second cousin, second cousin-in-law, the two little nieces are growing up well. May I play with them for a bit?"

This cousin hadn’t interacted much with her own family, giving an impression of being pretentious: "They should go take a bath now. You guys can play together tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ziyi had no choice but to give up.

After Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen took the children to the backyard, Gu Ziyi feigned innocence and said, "Second cousin really dotes on his little nieces, personally involved in everything. If there were little nephews, who knows how spoiled they would be."

She then picked up a cup from the table to mask her unease.
