A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Chapter 209 Shortcomings

The children rarely received pocket money, so most of them couldn't help but look happy when they heard this.

Some of the children had learned to read people's expressions early on, so they did not rush forward to receive the red envelopes. Instead, they carefully looked at Dean He's expression.

The Lu family's parents had discussed the red envelope issue with Dean He early in the morning. Dean He didn't intend to stop them and said to the children with a smile, "Why don't you thank Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu quickly?"

The children immediately cheered and thanked Lu's parents loudly.

The Lu family's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and they kept saying, "Be good! You are all good children. Everyone has one, so don't fall behind!"

The couple had a great time getting what they wanted from the God of Wealth and had a great time giving out red envelopes.

Xu Youyou had maintained a healthy sleep and rest schedule over the past year and had no plans to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year. However, before she could leave the restaurant, she was stopped by Lu's mother.

"Kid, why did you forget to receive the red envelopes?" Mother Lu stuffed two red envelopes into Xu Youyou's hands.

Xu Youyou was stunned: "Auntie, why are there two red envelopes?"

"Your uncle and I will each give one. This is how we give out gifts in our family. It's not easy to change the rules suddenly." Mother Lu said with a smile.

Only then did Xu Youyou notice that the children in the orphanage also received two red envelopes each, and it was obvious that Lu's mother did not lie.

"But I'm not a child anymore." Xu Youyou said casually.

Mother Lu reached out and patted Xu Youyou's arm, saying, "In our eyes, you will always be children."

Xu Youyou smiled helplessly, but did not refuse in the end, because she just saw that Lu Jingyao was also forced to give two red envelopes by Lu's father, and even Assistant Liu and Xu Fang beside him got two red envelopes.

After finally breaking through the siege and leaving the restaurant, Lu Jingyao caught up with him again.

"I'll take you back to your room. Be careful, the road is slippery." Lu Jingyao said.

In fact, the entire orphanage was brightly lit today, and the short distance of just a few dozen meters back to the room required personal escort.

Lu Jingyao reached out and held Xu Youyou's hand again. He couldn't hide the smile on his usually cold face. On the one hand, he hoped that the road could be longer, but on the other hand, he was thinking that it was freezing outside and he was afraid that Xu Youyou would get cold if he stayed there for too long.

In his wild thoughts, the road finally came to an end.

"Happy New Year." Lu Jingyao said softly, and then, like a magic trick, he took out a palm-sized gift box and stuffed it into Xu Youyou's hand.

"What is this?" Xu Youyou asked.

"New Year's gift." Lu Jingyao replied.

"Are you ready early in the morning?" Xu Youyou asked.

Lu Jingyao nodded slightly.

Xu Youyou looked at the handsome and tall man. Even though the walls of the orphanage behind him were moldy and falling off due to disrepair, he was still so dazzling.

She casually opened the gift box, and inside was a jade bracelet that was completely emerald green.

The water head is excellent, and it is obviously valuable at first glance, and it even has a warmth that comes from the passage of time.

"This doesn't look like an ordinary jade bracelet. Does it have any origin?" Xu Youyou asked.

Lu Jingyao's face rarely showed a trace of entanglement. He lowered his voice and said, "It's a family heirloom jade bracelet."

Xu Youyou suddenly felt that this gift was a bit hot: "If I hadn't agreed to give it a try, would you have given it to me?"

"No matter what, I hope in my heart that you are its owner."

Lu Jingyao's voice was as low and elegant as a cello. Xu Youyou felt her ears burning when she heard such a confession.

"Happy New Year." After she said this, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and flew into her room like a butterfly.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lu Jingyao didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He still felt like it was just a dream, but there seemed to be a lingering gentle touch on his face.

Behind the door, Xu Youyou stood against the wall for a long time. Her cheeks gradually became hot in the darkness. She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Was her behavior too unrestrained?

She couldn't help thinking that, faced with such a handsome man and being looked at so gently by someone who was usually so arrogant, she really couldn't control herself.

"Never mind, I'm a super rich woman now, and I deserve such a good man." Xu Youyou said quietly in her heart.

Since she became rich, she has become much more confident and her sense of worthiness has increased dramatically.

She even thought that she was already quite chaste now. If it were someone else, they would have ordered eight male models a day and lived a life of debauchery.

If Lu Jingyao dared to betray her one day, she would not just shed tears pitifully, but would fly around the world and spend money to have the most handsome guy in the world to make her happy.

Xu Youyou's mind was in a mess. She tossed and turned in bed for nearly two hours before she fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next morning, when she came out of the house, she saw Lu Jingyao playing with Guaiguai in the yard downstairs.

Before she could say anything, Lu Jingyao suddenly looked up and saw her. He waved at her and said, "Did you sleep well? If not, you can take another nap. If you wake up, I'll go make wontons for you."

Xu Youyou tilted her head, suddenly noticing the unusual silence around her: "Where are the others? Where did they go?"

Lu Jingyao said, "Dean He went to visit a relative, and my parents went to visit an old friend. The children played too hard last night, and many of them didn't get up."

The children received double red envelopes last night and were restless in bed all night, all thinking about what snacks to buy with the New Year's money. Because it was Chinese New Year, the adults did not supervise them too much, so the children chattered until midnight before falling asleep quietly.

Half an hour had passed when Xu Youyou finished washing up and went downstairs. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Lu Jingyao, wearing a custom-made coat, stirring the pot with a spatula in clumsy movements.

Xu Fang standing by looked like she wanted to help but didn't dare to step forward.

As for the golden assistant, he was sitting behind the earthen stove, lighting the fire with skillful movements, and occasionally asking, "Boss, do you want the fire to be a little brighter?"

Seeing Assistant Liu feeling so comfortable in his own skin, Xu Youyou once again felt that he was indeed an all-round assistant. He adapted to the environment so quickly. If it weren't for his obvious successful outfit, she would have almost mistaken him for a fireman with ten years of experience.

It’s just that the boss of the all-round assistant is not the all-round boss.

Xu Youyou didn't expect that Lu Jingyao, a hexagonal warrior, actually had shortcomings.

"Mr. Lu, you can fish it out now. If you don't, it will melt!" Xu Fang couldn't help but remind him.

When Xu Youyou ate the bowl of wontons made by Lu Jingyao himself, she frowned slightly at the poor appearance. When she put it in her mouth, she couldn't help feeling a little disgusted. There was too much salt in it, and it was so salty that it tasted bitter.

After one day of dating, Xu Youyou felt the urge to break up.
