Wu Qian stayed here for more than an hour before leaving.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, some families might stay home without much to do.
But for someone like Wu Qian with her family background, it’s a day to go out and pay visits.
And she won’t be visiting just one family.
The fact that Wu Qian came over at this time clearly means they weren’t her first or even top three visits.
But that’s enough.
Jiang Ran and Pei Huai discussed when they should visit the Wu Family.
After all, no matter what it is, there’s a sense of reciprocity.
They came over, and if we don’t go, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
After discussing for a while, they decided to visit the Wu Family in the afternoon.
After all, given the relationship between the two families, it’s best to visit on the first day of the new year.
By the second day and beyond, people might not want to socialize, and it would be awkward if they visited the Wu Family and found other guests there.
After deciding, they had lunch, and Jiang Ran and Pei Huai took Pei Jing with them and headed out.
They first went to a department store, bought some gifts, and then headed to the Wu Family’s place.
They had been to the Wu Family before, so they knew where it was.
After driving for over half an hour, they arrived at the Wu Family’s doorstep.
The Wu Family lives in a pretty big villa with a sizable garden, looking quite nice.
This is just in winter; I imagine the garden would be even more beautiful in spring, summer, or autumn.
Pei Jing seldom saw such scenery; he mostly saw traditional courtyard houses.
So after entering the yard, he kept his big bright eyes open, looking around.
But since it was cold outside, they didn’t stay out for long and went straight inside.
The Wu Family was all there at the time with no other guests, so their timing was perfect.
After chatting for more than half an hour, they bid farewell.
Because they still needed to visit the Jiang Family.
After visiting the Jiang Family and leaving, it was already mid-afternoon.
Although it wasn’t too late, the winter days are short, and it was a snowy day. Although it wasn’t snowing anymore, the sky was still overcast.
Just looking at the sky, it felt like it was already late.
The cold wind picked up again, and they didn’t linger outside, driving straight home.
After a tiring and busy afternoon, they hurried to their rooms to rest after dinner.
The next day, the second day of the Chinese New Year.
This is the day for married daughters to return to their parental homes.
But Jiang Ran didn’t need to return to her family.
Xu Yufen seemed to have discovered something new. After breakfast, her gaze was fixed on Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran originally thought that after yesterday, Xu Yufen would have learned to restrain herself and wouldn’t speak nonsense today.
But obviously, Jiang Ran overestimated Xu Yufen.
Not long after, Xu Yufen spoke up, her voice as loud as ever.
"Jiang Ran, today is the second day, why aren’t you going back to your family?"
After speaking, she continued without waiting for Jiang Ran to reply.
"Is your family back home in the countryside? Well, let me tell you, what’s the point of raising a daughter? Grows up and gets married, and only returns to her family on the second day of the year, but if it’s far away, she can’t make it. Isn’t it a waste to raise her?"
Jiang Ran, "..."
