His words were never allowed to be questioned, so Qiu Xin could only continue. She always felt unsafe with the money she won like this.

Shi Yue disliked him being here, delaying the real fun among them, and finally couldn't help but said: "Well... Actually, I lose even more when you are here. Do you want to avoid it first?"

She also doesn't dare to chase people away too directly.

Qiu Xi was not angry, but just smiled and put the warm water cup in her hand: "Then you have fun, I will come up to you later."

After saying that, he kissed her softly on the cheek again before leaving.

Several young girls who had not yet fallen in love were surprised and blushed when they saw this scene.

Qiu Ruxue was more courageous. After Qiu Xichen's figure completely disappeared, she no longer had the heart to play cards. She asked curiously: "Sister Shi Yue, does Third Master usually treat you like this...?"

I have to say that they all saw it just now. It was clear that Third Master was more attached to Sister Shi Yue, and she had just driven away several times overtly and covertly before leaving.

When Shi Yue was asked this question, his face heated up, and there was still residual heat from his kiss just now on his face.

"No...nothing."

The little girl is just like a human being, she is not a fool, she also has eyes to see.

Several people looked at each other and smiled, all understanding.

The temperature on Shi Yue's face became even higher, and he coughed twice: "Didn't you say you should continue playing cards? If you don't continue, the money you won just now won't count."

During the New Year's Eve dinner, the long table in the restaurant was replaced by a large round table. According to the old man, this is a Chinese tradition and represents the meaning of reunion.

The whole family was seated according to seniority, with the old man sitting at the head seat, Shi Yue sitting next to Qiu Xichen, and on the right was Qiu Chao.

When he saw the people next to him clearly, Shi Yue subconsciously looked at Qiu Xichen. He suddenly mentioned Qiu Chao today. Could it be that he already knew the seating arrangements and said those jealous words?

Under the gaze of everyone, Qiu Chao only glanced at Shi Yue twice and never looked at her again.

And her left hand had been tightly grasped by Qiu Xichen and never let go.

It was rare for people in the Qiu family to come together like this. The old man was in a good mood. After drinking a glass of wine, his face turned red.

According to custom, the younger generation should take turns to come up to the old man to pay New Year greetings and say blessings, and they will get big red envelopes.

Watching the juniors come forward one by one, the smile on the old man's face never disappeared. It wasn't until all the rounds were finished that he noticed that there was no figure of Qiu Rushi on the entire dining table.

He looked around and saw nothing, so he asked strangely: "Wasn't she still at home before? Why is she not here at this time?"

The servant hurriedly went to look for her in the room upstairs. After walking around, he couldn't see her figure.

Just when everyone was about to call Qiu Rushi, the living room was opened from the outside, and Qiu Rushi walked in dejectedly. She was in a daze.

Until she saw a large table of people, Qiu Rushi woke up from a dream and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I was late."

Today is New Year's Eve after all, so the old man wasn't angry and just asked her to sit down.

What this spoiled Miss Qiu did was not worthy of attention. Everyone quickly forgot about it and continued drinking.

Seeing that the men at the dinner table were so drunk that they almost lost their dignity, only Qiu Xichen was still sitting calmly on the chair.

Shi Yue counted and counted. He had already had eight drinks tonight. Is he such a good drinker?

Suddenly, a man stood up with a wine glass in his hand and faced Qiu Xichen directly: "Xi Chen, my uncle will propose a toast to you first. You have done so much for Qiu this year, you are our blessing."

The person who spoke was my brother-in-law, who was also Qiu Chao's father.

Qiu Xichen didn't even stand. Although he had a smiling expression, there was a cold light in his eyes: "Uncle, you are too polite. After all, I am the master of the Qiu family, and I should do these things."

As soon as these words came out, not only the uncle, but also several other elders also changed their expressions.

Most of these people hold positions in the Qiu family. For so many years, they have been filling their own pockets, satisfying their own selfish desires, and constantly being blood-sucking worms in the Qiu family.

The uncle drank half a glass of wine. He was obviously drunk: "Yes, you are the heir of the Qiu family, but none of the people here are the elders of the company or the elders who have watched you grow up. There are some things that you cannot do.

Too Jue, Qiu Xichen, you are too cruel!"

His blunt words made the old man's expression darken. He placed the wine glass heavily on the table: "If you are drunk, go out and sober up and come back later."

The old man spoke, and soon a servant dragged him outside.

Shi Yue looked at his nose, mouth and heart, only holding the food in front of him.

Qiu Xichen took a sip of wine slowly and looked at everyone present: "There are some things I don't want to say, but my uncle brought it up today, so it's better to make it clear. From now on, as long as it causes financial damage to the company,

No matter what you believe, everything should be done in accordance with the regulations. If anyone uses Qiu's reputation to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude."

Although he was a junior, no one dared to refute what he said. Even the old man remained silent, apparently acquiescing to it.

No one at the large table said a word. Qiu Xichen smiled jokingly again and drank the rest of the wine in the glass.

Next, the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten with great trepidation, and the uncle never came back after being taken out by the servant.

Not long after, the New Year's Eve dinner was over.

Before leaving, Qiu Chao glanced at Shi Yue thoughtfully, as if he had something to say, but due to the large number of people present, he could only leave silently.

The lively villa suddenly became deserted. The old man looked at the empty seats and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it will not be easy to have a reunion in the future."

Shi Yue smiled and comforted: "New Year's Eve is a day to get close to the whole family. Since those people don't put the interests of the entire Qiu family first, they can't be considered to be of the same mind as us. It's better not to come."

These words spoke to the old man's heart, and he felt better again: "Yueyue is right. If they don't listen to the advice, we will have to live on our own from now on."

After saying this, the old man looked at Qiu Rushi again. Seeing her ugly expression, he thought she was trying to show off Shi Yue's face, so he reprimanded her with a few words: "You are an adult now, and you are still so willful?"

He said it, but Qiu Rushi didn't seem to hear it, and his whole person was in a state of emptiness.

The old man was even more dissatisfied and patted the table again: "Rushi!"

Qiu Rushi finally came back to her senses: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

The old man hated the iron and waved his hand at her: "We've already had the reunion dinner anyway. If you want to go out to play, go ahead." Anyway, he couldn't control it.
