Chapter 793: Understanding of Youth
Even if work started on the eve of the Lunar New Year, it would end early. When they arrived at the song family home, it was very lively, and almost the entire house was filled with people.
“They are all collateral branches of the song family. Every year at the eve of the Lunar New Year, they eat together,”song Mian said softly to Yun Xiangxiang. “Don’t worry about being nervous. They are all discerning people. Only they will suck up to you and cater to you.”
Yun Xiangxiang wanted to come here for the New Year, so song Mian told Song Chi a long time ago. Song Chi didn’t change the rule of having a reunion dinner at thirty. It wasn’t that Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t important enough, but it was just a good time for them to meet each other. They knew each other well.
These people were from all over the world. It was difficult for everyone to come together except for this day.
“There are so many people.”Yun Xiangxiang roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred people.
Although some of them had families with them, some of them were alone. It was obvious that not all of them had come.
“According to the rules set by our ancestors, unless there is no one in the family, we have to put aside all the important matters and go to the ancestral residence for a gathering.”Song Mian explained the rules of the song family to Yun Xiangxiang.
“Actually, this is quite good.”Yun Xiangxiang felt that this was a way for the ancestors of the song family to not forget their roots.
Seeing that Yun Xiangxiang did not feel uncomfortable, song Mian smiled slightly and brought her in. Everyone seemed to know that Yun Xiangxiang would come, so they maintained a polite and appropriate smile.
Song Mian only introduced Yun Xiangxiang to a few elders personally. The other party was also well-prepared. After walking around, Yun Xiangxiang received a lot of greeting gifts.
As an actress, Yun Xiangxiang was able to capture the emotions of every single person.
The Elders of the song family were very polite to her. They were not particularly attentive nor did they look down on her. They were all very amiable, no different from a normal girlfriend who was meeting a junior.
After meeting the Elders, Song Mian took the initiative to take Yun Xiangxiang away so that she would not feel uncomfortable staying here.
After leaving everyone’s line of sight, Yun Xiangxiang heaved a sigh of relief.
This made song Mian Laugh in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Are you nervous too?”
“How can I Not Be Nervous?”Yun Xiangxiang said unhappily.
She was nervous because she cared about something, but she was nervous because she cared about something.
Yun Xiangxiang was in the entertainment industry, so she was naturally immune to rumors, malicious comments, and comments from unimportant people. However, these were people on Song Mian’s side, not unimportant people.
Although song Mian only saw these people once a year, he couldn’t possibly not care about what others thought of him just because of that, right?
If they were his family, as long as Yun Xiangxiang didn’t have any problems, she naturally didn’t care whether the other party liked her or not.
However, when it came to the people she cared about, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t think so easily.
“My Sister stood at the award ceremony, and no one has ever seen her like this,”Yun Lin couldn’t help but tease.
Yun Xiangxiang looked at Yun Lin, who was holding a pile of red packets, and her smile gradually turned unkind. She snatched more than half of the red packets away. “I’ll keep it for you.”
Yun Xiangxiang wanted to give Yun Lin a greeting gift, but of course, she could not give Yun Lin a greeting gift. Yun Lin was not a member of the song family in the future.
However, he was still a junior, and it was the new year, so they had prepared big red packets as New Year’s money. Yun Lin had never received so many red packets in less than an hour in his life. He was feeling happy in his heart, but in the end, he had not warmed up yet..
“Sister!”Yun Lin was unhappy. “I’m about to enter high school. I’m applying for financial independence.”
“Oh, since you’re financially independent, shouldn’t you support yourself?”Yun Xiangxiang smiled innocently. “Now that you’re eating, living, and living, you have to follow the procedure. If you don’t have any living expenses in the future, you still have to give me rent and food expenses.
“Since you’re financially independent, as a son, you have to be filial to your parents every month. Otherwise, all these years of supporting you would be in vain…”
“Sister, take care of it for me.”Yun Lin immediately smiled and handed the rest to Yun Xiangxiang.
Song Mian couldn’t help but smile.
Yun Xiangxiang returned all the red packets to Yun Lin. Before Yun Lin could be happy, she said, “Take it. Give it to me when we get home.”
Yun Lin’s face fell. He lowered his head and followed Yun Xiangxiang.
The siblings made a scene and arrived at Song Chi’s courtyard. Song Chi’s guests were also drinking tea. When they saw them, they greeted Yun Xiangxiang and personally introduced Yun Xiangxiang to the people here.
They were all important members of the direct line of descent of the song family, people who held the power of the song family’s various estates.
They treated Yun Xiangxiang with even more respect. They treated her like a subordinate to her superior.
Of course, they couldn’t prepare a gift for Yun Xiangxiang. This was a little disrespectful, but it didn’t stop them from giving Yun Lin the new year’s money.
Yun Lin was still polite and obedient when he received the red envelopes, but he was even more distressed when he left the courtyard.
“Hey, Little Lin has grown up.”Yun Xiangxiang was just going to say hello to Song Chi and give him the new year’s gift that she had prepared. Naturally, it wouldn’t interfere with their official business. On the way to Song Mian’s courtyard, Yun Xiangxiang suddenly sighed with resentment.
Yun Xiangxiang met Yun Lin’s confused expression. Yun Xiangxiang’s face was filled with melancholy. “When I was young, when Little Lin had new year’s money, he would take the initiative to give it to me.”
Yun Lin suddenly felt a little guilty.
“When I was young, Little Lin even said that what was yours was older sister’s,”Yun Xiangxiang added faintly.
Yun Lin lowered his head in shame.
“He also said that he would always like older sister the most,”Yun Xiangxiang added.
Yun Lin lowered his head more and more.
Looking at her younger brother who was about to shrink his head into his chest, Yun Xiangxiang could not help but laugh out loud. She placed a hand on her younger brother’s shoulder and said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”
She was already past this age. If she wanted to have some money, it might be purely because she had something she wanted to buy herself. She was too embarrassed to reach out to her parents or her sister to ask for it.
“I’m sorry, Sister. It’s My Fault.”Yun Lin raised his head, “For the sake of my face, I didn’t think about it at all. If I wasn’t your younger brother and if it wasn’t for you, they wouldn’t have given me the New Year’s money. Right now, I don’t have the ability to produce, but I’m so shy that I’m unwilling to reach out to you to ask for money.
“If I don’t have enough ability, it’s my fault that I want to have extra money while maintaining my pathetic and laughable self-esteem.”
Yun Xiangxiang was dumbfounded. She did not expect that her teasing of Yun Lin would give the young man such an epiphany.
His face, which was getting more and more beautiful, was bright and beautiful, but at the same time, he felt relieved, he leaned against Yun Xiangxiang affectionately and thought, “Give it all to sister. If I need money in the future, I will ask sister for it. Remember how good sister is to me. I will work harder to enrich myself and treat sister even better in the future!”
“You are ambitious,”song Mian praised him.
In fact, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was the most rebellious, the most serious, and the most important age for face. He would not think too deeply about many things, and his selfishness was also the most important. If he was not careful, he would be driven to a corner.
Song Mian could not help but dislike Yun Lin who was so calm in front of him when he was still young and did not forcefully protect his self-esteem.
Not to mention his age, even many people who were 15,16,17 or 18 years old might not understand that they did not get the lucky money by relying on their abilities.
