Chapter 791 - Officialdom, New Year’s Goods

Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationEditor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect Jiang Haoran to be so determined this time. He left just like that.

“Jiang Haoran gave me half of his connections in China. This is our deal. After all, he wants to keep half for the Jiang family. Otherwise, if the Jiang family finds out, he will not be able to live a peaceful life abroad.”

“I see. So you are going to ensure his safe arrival abroad?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But I’m afraid the Jiang family will not be so peaceful tomorrow. It’s hard to say if they will be able to live a good life this year.”

“Yes, that’s the best. It will prevent them from staring at us all day long.”

“But the Kong family’s actions tonight have made me look at them in a new light. I thought they were inseparable from the Jiang family. I didn’t expect such a counterattack.”

“Mm, I guess Jiang Haoting and the others have already reacted. However, there’s nothing I can do about it. The Jiang family’s plan was too accurate.”

The key was that Kong Fang had calculated Jiang Haoming too accurately. No wonder they were husband and wife for 20 years. She definitely knew Jiang Haoming very well. With just a few words of encouragement,

Jiang Haoming would definitely be the one who was betrayed.

However, Jiang Haoming and the people from the Jiang family probably didn’t understand their good sister-in-law. She seemed to be straightforward and generous, but in fact, when she calculated, she didn’t miss a

single detail. The entire Jiang family was involved.

“Don’t think that this is just a rumor about Jiang Haoming. It will be a heavy blow to Jiang Haoting because the timing today is too good.”

“Sigh, these twists and turns are really scary. So, is this Kong family going to oppose the Jiang family in the future?”

Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with a smile. She still didn’t understand much about politics. He said patiently, “Not only the Kong family, but also the Xie family.”

“The Xie family? What does it have to do with the Xie family?”

Shen Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled. Why was the Xie family involved in this? This had nothing to do with the Xie family, right?

“Don’t look down on these remarks. Besides, Third Young Master Kong is right. Almost all the influential people in China are here tonight. Everyone knows about the Jiang family’s farce.”

“How could someone like the Jiang family marry Nan Ya without doing any investigation? Of course not. It means that everyone knows what’s going on. Those people from the Jiang family clearly know what’s going on,

but they still want Second Brother Jiang to take the blame.”

“If they can even scheme against their own brothers like this, then it goes without saying. The most important thing is that in the eyes of many people, they did this with the intention of slapping the Kong family’s face.”

This was their mistake first. Many people had witnessed their actions.

When Jiang Haoting wanted to consolidate his power again, could you imagine how many people would be disappointed by his actions?

“Moreover, tonight, I intentionally exposed Jiang Shuixian to be taking bribes behind Xie Cenzhou’s back. Xie Cenzhou won’t blame Jiang Shuixian, but he will definitely blame the Jiang family. After all, Jiang Shuixian

used the Jiang family’s connections.”

“With everything gathered together, the Xie family will also carefully consider whether it is safe to follow that ship again.”

“So that’s how it is. It’s really complicated.”

“Actually, in the end, the Jiang family doesn’t have military power. If they had military power, then tonight’s matter wouldn’t be a big deal.”

After Yan Kuan said this, Shen Xiaoxiao really had a new understanding of Chinese politics, no, it was the matters in the officialdom.

This understanding made Shen Xiaoxiao feel that no matter how much time had passed, be it ancient times or modern times, the darkness of the officialdom was something that ordinary people like her could not play

with.

“Fortunately, we told the children that we are just ordinary businessmen. I think this businessman’s identity is really not bad.”

“Yeah, a businessman’s identity is really not bad.”

When they returned to the villa, the servants had already prepared food and were waiting for them. However, the two children had already fallen asleep. It was already past 10 o’clock now, and Huo Gui had used 28

different martial arts to finally coax them to sleep. Then, he immediately went to his happy time.

In the entire villa, only Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan were sitting in the small dining room, leisurely eating.

It was almost the New Year. Tomorrow, they would also start to gather New Year goods…

December 29th.

Those few, including Dark 1 to Dark 5, had all played all night before returning. Of course, there were still a few who had not returned.

Those who did not come back would not be counted one by one. They also needed to enjoy their rare vacation.

Therefore, in the early morning, there was only the sound of two children laughing in the entire garden.

They had been wearing red cotton-padded jackets since yesterday. They were in pairs. Because it was New Year, the entire Dark Empire was full of men, but they were also all orphans.

Every year, during the New Year, a group of men would gather together to play cards. It was extremely boring.

This year, with the hostess and two children, the meaning was different.

Especially the two children. Sometimes, they also liked to dress up the children. These two children’s red clothes, from underwear to coats, could not fit in the wardrobe.

Everyone said that during the New Year, the children must wear red.

So early in the morning, they saw two bright red figures running and playing in the garden.

The snow had long been swept aside. Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at the children and did not care much about them. After tidying up, she walked out with Yan Kuan, one each holding a hand to go out to collect New Year’s

goods.

In previous New Year’s, the two children 19 and Shen Xiaoxiao were the best combination. Of course, if Ai Wei did not perform that day, he would also spend the day with them.

However, there were fewer people, so it was a little lonely.

This year, not only Huang Yueyan and the others would come, but the entire base was also there. Just thinking about the lively scene made people happy.

“Mommy, are we going to get the New Year’s money the day after tomorrow? Uncle said that we can get the New Year’s money on the first day of the New Year.”

“Yes, you two little misers. Why do you want the New Year’s money so much?”

The two children looked at each other, smiled, and said, “This is our secret. We won’t tell you.”

Then, the two children huddled behind them and discussed something.

Yan Kuan did not forget that Shen Xiaoxiao and his birthday was on the 30th day of the Lunar New Year.

It was the first birthday that year. It was also the only New Year’s Day that they had known each other for so many years. It was spent together.

At that time, he had rushed back in the middle of the night. She had given him a pair of red underwear, and he had given her a pair of red socks.

It was a very traditional practice. Shen Xiaoxiao had kept it all these years when the two children were celebrating their birthdays.

Although Yan Kuan did not know, he would not forget to give his beloved woman a surprise?

At this moment, the two children were also discussing what gifts to give their parents for their birthdays.

This past month was the happiest time for the two children. Because their parents were both here, their family was together every day.

The children in the kindergarten used to be like this. They liked this feeling very much. Of course, it would be even better if this kind of time could last forever.

“Little Treasure, did you bring all your gold coins?”

“I did. I also brought a lot of money. I’m not afraid that we won’t have enough money later.”

“Okay, then what should we buy for Mommy and Daddy?”

“Um — let me think…”.
