Jiang Yu did well in the final exam unexpectedly. He was at the upper-middle level of his grade, so he should have no problem getting into a key university.
Jiang Manyi was very happy. She worked so hard to make money and let Jiang Yu enter the best private Yuxi Middle School, so that she could be admitted to a good university in the future.
She also didn't ask her to be at Tsinghua and Peking University, because she knew that her daughter was not that kind of material, and she was very satisfied if she could go to an ordinary key university.
On the 30th day of the new year, Jiang Manyi called Jiang Yu up early in the morning, gave her a good dressing, and then took her to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods together.
Tonight, she cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner to reward her for her hard work.
The supermarket is decorated with colorful lights and crowds, which is a lively New Year's scene.
Wearing the bright red short down jacket that Jiang Manyi specially bought for her, Jiang Yu pushed the trolley, yawned, and followed her mother lazily.
Jiang Manyi looked in the east and west in the New Year's Goods area, and made a careful comparison with reference to the prices of discounted products.
Jiang Yu yawned, turned back in a trance, and saw a familiar figure, it turned out to be Xie Yuan.
He is standing in front of the freezer pantry, picking out frozen dumplings.
Jiang Yu reached out to greet him: "Mr. Xie!"
Xie Yuan looked up and saw Jiang Yu, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards her: "Xiaoyu classmate, come to buy New Year's goods with your mother?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yu looked at his trolley full of cooked food such as braised beef and pepper chicken, and asked, "Does Mr. Xie eat these for New Year's Eve dinner?"
Xie Yuan explained: "I have to work overtime at night, so this is enough."
"No, you have to work overtime during the new year?"
"no way."
"Mr. Xie, aren't you the boss of the company? Who would dare to make you work overtime?"
"Because the employees have to go home for reunion during the Chinese New Year, I am alone, so I simply do more."
Jiang Yu knew that Xie Yuan was single and unmarried. He really missed that his parents were long gone, and his only daughter was yet to be found.
The last time he helped him like that, Jiang Yu always had a good impression of him, and he didn't find a chance to repay, so he simply said, "Mr. Xie, would you like to... come to our house for the New Year?"
As soon as this statement came out, Jiang Manyi, who overheard him for a long time, immediately rejected: "Don't talk nonsense, what kind of person is Mr. Xie, how could he come to our house?"
Xie Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't mind, you can come over after I get off work."
"I don't mind, I don't mind." Jiang Yu said with a smile, "I just took this opportunity to thank you for your help last time."
Jiang Manyi quickly pulled Jiang Yu aside and said in a low voice, "You invited this man to your house, what is it like! How can the neighbors gossip!"
"What's so great, I love to talk about it. He is not married and has no wife. Even if he wants to gossip, he is all jealous of you..."
Jiang Yu patted Jiang Manyi on the shoulder: "Besides, Mr. Xie is very upright and won't have bad thoughts on you!"
Jiang Manyi was about to be mad at Jiang Yu.
The two of them are biological father and daughter, and the two of them stand together and look alike.
Jiang Manyi really didn't want to let Jiang Yu and Xie Yuan have more contact.
Because it's... so obvious.
Xie Yuan looked at Jiang Manyi meaningfully, and seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.
Although he couldn't wait to recognize his daughter, he also knew that this matter must not be rushed.
If he forcibly recaptures his daughter from Jiang Manyi's side, it is likely to cause Jiang Yu to hate him and not even see him again.
This was not the result he wanted.
He can only step by step, subtly make a good relationship with Jiang Yu, and wait for the opportunity.
"Then thank you for your invitation." Xie Yuan said thoughtfully: "I can understand if Ms. Jiang is worried about the gossip of her neighbors."
Jiang Manyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, the small alley where we live is full of Obasan. If I see you coming to our house, I don't know what it will be like."
Of course, Xie Yuan was not easy to handle, so he simply said: "If that's the case, why don't you ask Ms. Jiang to bring Xiaoyu to my Wuting's house. My family is relatively large. How about you two come over for New Year's Eve?"
Jiang Manyi: …
As soon as Jiang Yu heard that Xie Yuan had invited them to "Wu Ting", she opened her mouth slightly and felt a little incredible.
Wuting is the most high-end residential area in Jeonbuk City. It is located in the natural ecological area next to Olin Park. The air quality is excellent and the environment is quiet. There are high-end clubs and golf courses around it. It is the highest land price in the city.
Without waiting for Jiang Manyi to refuse, Xie Yuan continued: "Because my last girlfriend was a ballet dancer, my family now has a lot of ballet music collections, such as Tchaikovsky's original discs and some classical music discs. There are a lot of ballet-related collections, you can come and have a look.”
This sentence can be said to have hit Jiang Yu's most fatal point. She quickly grabbed Jiang Manyi's sleeve and looked at her pitifully: "Please! Mom, please!"
Jiang Manyi looked at Xie Yuan hostilely, and Xie Yuan also looked at her without any guilt.
She knew that he had one plan and two plans. He was determined to celebrate the New Year with his daughter, and she couldn't stop it at all.
"Okay, since President Xie sincerely invited me, I will definitely bring my daughter to the appointment on time."
Jiang Yu was overjoyed, and quickly said to Xie Yuan, "Uncle Xie, you are so kind! I will definitely come over tonight!"
Xie Yuan heard that she even changed her name, looked at Jiang Manyi proudly, and said, "Uncle is waiting for you."
"Hmm! See you tonight."
Jiang Manyi gritted her teeth.
Who is afraid of who, she still doesn't believe it, how can the capitalist's sugar-coated bow list snatch away the daughter she has been raising for so many years!
Jiang Yu is not such an ungrateful little white-eyed wolf.
Jiang Yu didn't know her mother's thoughts at all. She looked at the back of Xie Yuan's departure and pulled her mother's sleeves: "Mom, it would be great if you said he was my dad."
Jiang Manyi: ? ?
In the afternoon, Jiang Yu went to the underground basketball court in the hip-hop district to find Qiu Li.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the bustling hip-hop cultural district on weekdays is also empty at this time.
Even the most rebellious children go home today to be reunited with their parents and families.
Qiu Li was wearing a thin black t-shirt and was playing basketball alone on a court full of graffiti.
Dribbling, jumping, layup, he moves smoothly and has a very beautiful figure.
Jiang Yu walked over with a box bag and sat on the side of the basketball court. Seeing that he hit the basket steadily, he clapped his hands repeatedly: "It's great!"
Qiu Li tilted his head to see her, and became more and more energetic. He started playing fancy basketball and turned around to shoot.
Every ball landed accurately in the basket.
Jiang Yu shouted at him: "Boyfriend come here quickly."
Qiu Li trotted to her and sat down with the ball in his arms, but instead of sitting next to her, he was a little farther away from her to avoid the smell of sweat on her body for her to smell.
Jiang Yu was worried that he would catch a cold, so he quickly picked up the jacket on the side and handed it to him: "Put it on quickly."
Qiu Li took the clothes obediently and put them on himself.
"What's up?"
"It's 30 today, come and see you." She said, she brought the insulated lunch box beside her: "My mother fried dumplings, I'll bring you some and try it."
Qiu Li opened the lunch box and saw that there were several golden fried dumplings inside.
He reached for it, Jiang Yu slapped his hand away, and then handed him the chopsticks: "It's dirty."
Qiu Li picked up a piece of fried dumpling with chopsticks and handed it to Jiang Yu's mouth: "Old rules."
Jiang Yu asked angrily, "Why do you have to let me eat first every time I eat?"
"If you eat it, I can taste it, otherwise it's like drinking plain water."
Jiang Yu took a bite of the fried dumpling skin, and didn't believe what he said: "Nonsense, how can there be such a thing."
She still wanted to eat, but Qiu Li threw the remaining half into her mouth.
"Aren't you disgusting, you do it every time!"
"What's so disgusting?" Qiu Li held the back of her head and wanted to kiss her, but Jiang Yu pushed her away: "I have eaten a mouthful of leeks, go away."
Qiu Li smiled and continued to eat the fried dumplings with his head down.
Seriously, one by one, it tastes delicious.
Jiang Yu looked at him and gradually felt that his feelings for him were beginning to become a little complicated.
The young man in front of her is not the vicious, evil, violent murderer she imagined...
On the contrary, after in-depth contact, she felt the enthusiasm, sincerity and hard work hidden under his icy mask.
She was no longer as afraid of him as she used to be, and gradually began to sympathize with him, and she was willing to be kind to him from the bottom of her heart. When she saw him alone, she would feel sad.
Even without the 300 million, Jiang Yumen asked herself, she should be willing to help him.
Qiu Li ate the rest of the dumplings cleanly, covered the lunch box, and said, "Mom's craftsmanship is really good."
"What are you yelling, it's not your mother, it's my mother."
He smiled. "It's all the same."
"Very different."
Jiang Yu put away the lunch box, took the box bag from behind, took out the shoe box from the inside, and said, "I brought you a New Year's gift."
Qiu Li didn't expect that she would suddenly give him a gift, and was stunned...
"I won the special prize last time. I bought it for you with the bonus."
Jiang Yu opened the shoe box, handed it to him, and said, "I went to your house last time and saw your shoe size, but I'm afraid you won't be comfortable, so I bought these shoes a size larger, you can try them on. Try it."

Qiu Li saw the brand-new pair of classic aj sneakers in black, white and red, lying quietly in the shoebox full of shreds.
He was suddenly at a loss.
"Look, do you like it?" Jiang Yu urged.
Qiu Li wiped the sweat from his palms on the clothes behind him, and then took out the pair of sneakers.
The shape of the shoes is very beautiful, and it is a style that young boys will definitely like. It is like a pair of sneakers with rough early hair and no color on their feet.
"Just try the size, the store said that if it doesn't fit, you can return it."
Qiu Li's throat seemed to be choked with something, and he said in a deep voice, "Fit your feet."
"You only need to look at it to know it fits. You have to try it." After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he directly reached out to take the shoelaces on his feet: "Quickly put them on and show me."
Qiu Li turned his back, took off the old shoes on his feet, and put on this pair of aj's new shoes.
He stood up and tried to walk a few steps, the softness of the new shoes wrapping around his feet, very full and very comfortable.
Jiang Yu frowned, looked at his sassy jump shot, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Our boyfriend is too handsome!"
Qiu Li also smiled: "Inevitably."
"I'm going to help you throw away these old shoes, they're all worn out."
Just as Jiang Yu picked up the old shoes, Qiu Li snatched them away and said, "No, I'll throw them away later."
"Okay." Jiang Yu looked at the setting sun, and said, "Then I'm going home."
"bye."
Jiang Yu looked at the teenager who was squatting on the ground, a little unbearable, reached out and rubbed his hair: "When the New Year's Eve, open a video, I'll accompany you for the New Year's Eve."
Qiu Li enjoyed her rubbing her head, and looked at her with dark eyes: "Xiaoyu, you fall in love with me."
Jiang Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately responded: "Yes, I love you so much."
Qiu Li smiled and pushed her hand away: "Get out of here."
Jiang Yu said goodbye to him, got up and left.
After she was far away, Qiu Li quickly took off the brand-new pair of aj sneakers, patted off the dust on the edge of the shoes, and carefully put them into the shoe box.
Still wearing his rough old shoes.
He liked this gift so much, how could he be willing to wear it casually on his feet.
…
Qiu Li held the shoebox and walked towards the house with the sunset on his back, but at the end of the block, he saw Huo Cheng and other men, looking at him badly.
Waiting for a long time.
