After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 96 Happy New Year's Eve

"Starting today, I'll be selling things for my dad's factory." Her voice was slightly hoarse.

Her throat felt a little itchy, so she coughed a few times.

He frowned. "Your voice is all ruined from broadcasting. Have you taken any medicine?"

"Aunt Xiang made me some licorice and pear soup, which I drank."

She didn't want to take medicine, so she asked Li Xiang to help her with food therapy by cooking a soup to cure her sore throat.

"Then go to bed early tonight," he said softly.

Once inside the master bedroom, he placed her on the bed and tucked her in. Then he took off his clothes, found a set of loungewear in the closet, and put it on. He then slipped into bed and lay down beside her.

She snuggled into his arms, her slender arms wrapped around his waist.

This was the first time she had shown such deep affection for him, and he was flattered and overwhelmed. He gently embraced her and stroked her head.

"Find another streamer tomorrow, you don't need to go." He was worried that she would overwork herself.

"No, the company's employees are all very busy, and we can't spare anyone. Besides, these are goods from my home, and I can take 70% of them." She suddenly laughed out loud, her eyes closed as she was about to fall asleep.

The thought of Lin Cuilan's frustrated expression, unable to retaliate despite being wronged, made her incredibly happy.

"The Hua family is willing to give you such a high commission?" he asked, not without surprise.

"Yeah, my dad always listens to Lin Cuilan. If she has no objections, then my dad has no objections either. You didn't see her expression, she was angry but dared not say anything, I felt so good..."

Lin Cuilan, intimidated by his invisibility, naturally dared not easily oppose Hua Meimei again. Luo Jiuyu did not intend to tell Hua Meimei about this relationship.

He tapped her nose. "Congratulations, Mr. Hua, may your wealth flow in."

"Um... I'm going to sleep now, I'll be busy tomorrow." Her voice trailed off.

She fell asleep soon after.

The room was so quiet that only her even breathing could be heard.

The curtains hadn't been drawn yet; the night outside was gentle, and the cool, starry sky was tranquil and beautiful.

He kissed her forehead tenderly and held her tighter. He wanted to hold her like that forever.

Later, he got up and drew the curtains.

For the next few days, Hua Meimei went to the Hua family's factory to do warehouse planting.

Hua Wenxia took Hua An'an from his home to work as Hua Meimei's assistant, making him open his eyes wide and learn from Hua Meimei how to sell goods and do business.

Hua Wenxia also suspended Hua An'an's credit card, and stopped giving him pocket money starting this month. He threatened that if Lin Cuilan dared to secretly give their son pocket money, he would divorce her.

Lin Cuilan was stunned when she first heard the word "divorce" from Hua Wenxia's mouth. For so many years of marriage, Hua Wenxia had always been very considerate of her, entrusting her with the control of the family finances.

Recently, however, everything has been quietly changing.

Lin Cuilan felt that he had become somewhat distant from her, and even the factory's finances were no longer under his control.

He personally managed the money from Hua Meimei's sales these past few days. He asked Lin Cuilan to keep an eye on after-sales service, but Lin Cuilan refused, and they had a big argument.

"If you don't agree, you can forget about getting involved in anything at the factory from now on!" Hua Wenxia's attitude was firm this time.

Lin Cuilan found herself increasingly unable to control her husband, and in the end, she had no choice but to compromise and agree to let him take charge of the after-sales business.

A week before Chinese New Year's Eve, Hua Meimei actually managed to clear out all the goods in the Hua family's factory.

All sold out.

Hua Wenxia breathed a sigh of relief. A huge weight that had been pressing on her heart had suddenly been lifted away, and for a moment it felt somewhat unreal.

Before leaving, Hua Meimei reminded him, "Dad, don't forget my 70% commission."

Hua Wenxia's face was beaming with smiles, "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten!"

Even if we only take three-tenths of the profits, it can alleviate the factory's cash flow problem.

With money to celebrate the New Year and be able to pay the employees' wages and year-end bonuses, Hua Wenxia wiped away tears of relief.

Hua Meimei laughed and said, "Old people still like to cry, don't they?"

Only she herself truly understands the hardships she has endured along the way, and Hua Wenxia offers no excuses.

He cried not only because of the factory, but more so because of his daughter.

He is proud of how outstanding she is now.

"Meimei, I'm sorry for what I did to you before. I didn't take good care of you." Hua Wenxia turned away with a red nose.

Hua Meimei was stunned for a moment. Her father had changed his ways and actually said such sentimental things.

Her feelings suddenly became complicated.

“These past few days, I’ve seen you working so hard… You must have suffered a lot and endured a lot of injustice over the years.”

Hua Meimei's voice was already hoarse from broadcasting, but she still insisted on selling goods. Every day, once she started broadcasting, she would stand or stop for several hours without sitting down to rest. She would only drink a little water to moisten her throat when she was thirsty, and she didn't even have time to go to the toilet.

Her son, Hua An'an, complained of being tired after doing even a little work, a lazy bum who was always defecating and urinating. Hua Wenxia deeply regretted raising such a son with all her heart.

“Your mother passed away early, and I didn’t take good care of you. I left you with Lin Cuilan, who abused you for so many years… It’s all because I failed in my responsibilities as a father…”

Hua Wenxia's voice choked with emotion.

He had his back to her, so she couldn't see her father's expression, but she could sense his desire to repent.

"Dad, please stop talking." Hua Meimei lowered her head. The past was too painful to recall, and she didn't want to relive those painful experiences.

My body will still hurt, and my heart will still ache.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

But she didn't want to cry, and she didn't want to forgive.

"The New Year is almost here. Why don't you bring your son-in-law home for the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve?"

"We'll see when the time comes; he might not be willing to go. I'm tired; I'm going home now." She wiped away her tears and quickly left.

She drove her new car towards Zhenlongtai.

When she got home, she hid in the bathroom and cried for a long time. After she had cried enough, she washed her face before coming out.

When Li Xiang came back from taking out the trash, she said to her, "I haven't seen our neighbor across the hall for days. Has he moved away?"

Hua Meimei remembered Fei Chenfeng's WeChat message to her a few days ago, saying that he had temporarily returned to the Fei family's old house.

“He went back to his old house to spend the New Year there,” she replied casually.

It had been quite a while since she had seen Fei Chenfeng. During this time, she had been busy with her own life and felt that she had grown distant from him.

Perhaps he's distancing himself from her.

That's for the best. May everyone be well, and let's keep moving forward in life.

It's almost Chinese New Year's Eve.

The streets outside are filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. People are setting up stalls to sell couplets, lanterns, and New Year's goods.

The supermarket sells items related to the Spring Festival, and you can even hear Andy Lau's "Happy New Year" when you pass by the mall.

She withdrew one million yuan in cash, held an annual meeting, paid the employees' salaries and year-end bonuses, and then gave them a holiday after the party.

Luo Jiuyu's side also held a large annual meeting, and the employees were given holidays one after another.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Luo Jiuyu wanted to take her back to the villa in the north of the city to celebrate the New Year, because fireworks and firecrackers could be set off there, but not in the city.

Before she left, she gave Li Xiang a very thick red envelope so that Li Xiang could go home for the New Year.

The villas in the north of the city are already decorated with lanterns and couplets.

To celebrate the New Year, colorful lights were hung on the plants in the yard, making them dazzling and beautiful at night.

Hua Meimei prepared large red envelopes in advance according to the number of people, and even prepared three extra red envelopes, so that everyone could stand in a row and she would distribute them to each one.

Everyone's face beamed with smiles, and they all said, "Thank you, ma'am."

"Happy New Year!" she said.

When she got to the last person, she discovered that the robot Jack was also in line!

"Jack, do you want a red envelope too?" Luckily, just in case she miscounted, she gave her a few extra.

Jack said, "Yes, ma'am."

Everyone laughed.

Luo Jiuyu, who had been silently watching Hua Meimei send out red envelopes, couldn't help but smile.

Someone joked, "Jack, what do you need money for? To get married?"

Jack's eyes gleamed: "Yes. I hope my master will give me a companion, and I'll pay him a salary."

"Haha..." Hua Meimei laughed so hard she bent over, then looked at Luo Jiuyu, "Did you hear that? Jack wants to get married!"

Luo Jiuyu couldn't help but laugh and rub his forehead, "Okay, after the New Year, we'll assign him a robot girlfriend."

Jack took the red envelope from Hua Meimei and immediately slid over to Luo Jiuyu, handing him a red envelope as well: "Thank you, Master, Happy New Year. You promised to give it to my girlfriend, so I'll pay you your salary first."

Hua Meimei laughed so hard tears almost flew out.

Then she handed Luo Jiuyu a red envelope as well: "Happy New Year, Mr. Luo of our family."

"Thank you, Mrs. Luo." He obediently accepted the red envelope from Jack and her.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Everyone else was laughing too.

This year, the villa has a new mistress, so it's going to be more lively than in previous years.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Hua Meimei received a text message from Hua Wenxia, ​​hoping that she could bring Luo Jiuyu home for the reunion dinner.

Luo Jiuyu noticed that her mood had suddenly dropped, so he took her hand and looked at her phone.

"Do you want to go back to the Hua family?" he asked. "If you want to go, then we will."

"No," she shook her head.

The Hua family is no longer her home. Apart from Hua Wenxia, ​​Lin Cuilan and Hua An'an are not her family.

She had not yet forgiven Hua Wenxia.

Her father's long-term neglect over the years emboldened Lin Cuilan and Hua An'an to bully her.

Ultimately, it's all the father's fault.

If he hadn't cheated on his wife back then, had resisted temptation, and had stayed by her side while she was pregnant, none of the tragedies that followed would have happened.

My mother would be alive today, and she wouldn't have grown up in the darkness of depression. How wonderful it would be if the three of us could live a happy and harmonious life together.

Luo Jiuyu put her phone on the table, patted her head, and looked at her gently: "Then we won't go back. We'll spend the New Year here. This is your home, and I'm your family."

Her nose tingled, and she nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, we are family."

"Happy New Year, my wife." He kissed her cheek and continued to put food in her bowl.

Happy New Year, my husband.

After they had a sumptuous dinner, he took her to the rooftop.

Bai Ning had already had many fireworks set up in the front yard, just waiting for Luo Jiuyu's order.

"Want to watch the fireworks now?" he asked her gently.

The two clasped hands and stood by the wall on the roof.

"How many fireworks did you have them prepare?"

"It can sit for an hour."

"It's been sitting there for so long."

That's too expensive.

"It was set up for you. People in the city who are on higher ground might be able to see it too; they'll all benefit from your presence."

Luo Jiuyu waved downwards. Bai Ning and the others began to light the fireworks.

A spectacular fireworks display has begun.

One after another, large fireworks of various shapes soared into the sky, bursting with light.

Multicolored light shone on Hua Meimei's upturned face. He looked at her with doting eyes, and as she smiled, he unconsciously smiled along with her.

Finally, there are colorful auspicious clouds, illuminating the night sky, as beautiful as a heavenly palace.

Hua Meimei jumped up excitedly, waving her hands and shouting, "Wow wow wow!"

Luo Jiuyu was delighted to see her so happy; a smile from one's wife is priceless.

"Happy Lunar New Year's Eve, my wife," he said.

Hua Meimei turned to look at him and smiled, "Thank you for the fireworks for me, they were so beautiful. Happy New Year's Eve, my husband."

He pulled a large, thin red envelope from his coat pocket.

"My baby, your husband is giving you New Year's money." He smiled mysteriously.

Hua Meimei was stunned for a moment. The red envelope was so big, yet it was thin and looked empty. She opened it and saw that there was a piece of paper inside. She pulled it out and saw that it was a check.

She was stunned when she saw the numbers above.

"One hundred million." He ruffled her hair.

"So much?" She was both delighted and surprised. It was the first time in her life that she had seen so much money, but she was hesitant to possess it.

It felt like a dream.

"Spend as much as you want, buy whatever you want, and when you're done, your husband will write you a check."

She took a deep breath. "I'm really going to accept it?"

"Hmm." He smiled indulgently, "If you don't accept New Year's money, you won't be rich next year."

Good grief, use this to pressure her!

She had no choice but to accept it. "I can't afford not to get rich. In the new year, I'm going to expand and become incredibly successful!"

"Okay. Let's get rich together in the new year." He put his arm around her waist, pulled her close, and kissed her.
