Chapter 638: Chapter 336: The Ring Chapter 638: Chapter 336: The Ring New Year’s Eve, after finishing all the calls, Xu Qingyan brushed the snow off his shoulders and went upstairs.

The Pei Family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was still held in the restaurant, this time with even more people.

Relatives from the neighboring city, uncles, aunts, all kinds of people.

In this way, Xu Qingyan and Pei Muchan blended in and were not so noticeable.

People kept approaching Father Pei to talk and toast, that Elder Deng who was cold and critical at home.

Right now, he was holding himself with a poised demeanor, talking lightly with people.

Pei Muchan was absentminded, picking at her food randomly.

Seeing Xu Qingyan looking around, she asked curiously.

“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just that there are too many people.” Xu Qingyan smiled, then suddenly remembered something and pulled Pei Muchan, “Should we prepare red envelopes?”
“Red envelopes?” Pei Muchan puzzled.

“Have you never given them before?” Xu Qingyan asked.

“Not often, because most of the time I’m not at home.” Pei Muchan spoke honestly, “And I’m not married yet, usually it’s my mom who handles it.”
“I give them out occasionally when I am home and have the chance.”

Giving more is not a problem, but missing someone would be really bad.”
Hearing this, Xu Qingyan nodded.

“Yeah, that makes sense.”
Actually, he couldn’t understand at all, but looking at the crowd having New Year’s Eve dinner, he suddenly felt…

well, he had never experienced this.

“Then we’ll just leave later, and go to your parents’ place tomorrow for the New Year’s meal?” From his understanding, small families should still sit down for a meal, right?

“No need, we’ll just go back to Xinghai.” She said.

“Huh???” Xu Qingyan was startled.

He always felt that Pei Muchan acted a bit hastily, though he also didn’t want to stay, but…

This older sister was too rough, not even willing to do the superficial work, wasn’t she afraid of being called unfilial?

Actually, from Pei Muchan’s perspective, she really didn’t need to consider this.

The family was deeply intertwined, taking care of each other, and there was her big brother to rely on at home.

Honestly, it was the same whether she was there or not.

She had been too busy with work before and hadn’t gone home, in the end, it didn’t matter.

Now that she had someone she liked, she had finally come out.

But being treated like this, stuck in the middle, she had talked back and forth.

Xu Qingyan wasn’t a man without abilities, nor was he one of those reckless types from the entertainment industry.

But it was useless, they could barely manage to have a meal together.

She even thought, maybe her father was dumped by some artistic woman when he was young.

He hated stars so much, if it weren’t for her being his daughter, probably wouldn’t be welcomed at home.

What is this, why stay any longer?

She just wanted to bring Xu Qingyan to meet her parents, not necessarily to seek their approval.

If they don’t agree, does that mean they can’t date?

Ridiculous…

Just don’t register for marriage.

Or go abroad, she didn’t care much about these things.

“Yeah, what’s wrong, it’s already enough to get this far.” Pei Muchan looked down and whispered softly, “I had thought there might be a chance.”
“I thought too much, no more illusions.”
“I brought you here to meet them, not to be mistreated.

I’ve already bought the tickets, we’ll go home and pack up after dinner, and just leave.”
In fact, they left after eating half their meal, driving back to the apartment complex.

About what Pei Muchan said, Xu Qingyan always followed along.

Unfamiliar with life and places here, it was best to just listen to Pei Muchan, no need to have other thoughts.

After all, Father Pei and them had a bad impression of Xu Qingyan even before meeting him.

Can the situation be turned around?

Dream on.

It’s not like filming a movie, prejudice between people is profound.

In TV shows, do a little something and everything changes, and everyone is happily making dumplings together.

He had been here for a while now, and the biggest feeling was that he just couldn’t fit in.

Always an outsider.

Don’t persuade Pei Muchan, it’s all thanks to Chanchan protecting him, otherwise he wouldn’t even be able to eat.

Jumping out to charm his father-in-law with high EQ would be a betrayal to her.

And such things, better left as dreams, bound to fail.

Elder Deng seems like he was scorned by some artistic woman when he was young, why else would he have such a deep prejudice against artists.

The films he made were still comedies and films, not trash!

Damn itaEUR| Forget it, for Baby Pei’s sake, won’t swear anymore.

Anyway, when Xu Qingyan left the Pei Family mansion, although his face was expressionless, he was inwardly relieved, finally freaking free.

The prejudice from the Pei Family against him was somewhat more severe than anticipated.

Although there was some improvement, it only evolved to the point of having meals, and everything else was a slow grind.

Grinding…

not to mention whether Xu Qingyan had time, Pei Muchan’s patience was already exhausted.

By the time the two packed up and prepared to leave, although the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, their mood was exceptionally good, leaving home on New Year’s Eve.

Pei Muchan even had a smile on her face, Xu Qingyan didn’t smile, feeling it wasn’t quite right, suppressing his emotions, at most secretly smiling when he turned his back to Pei Muchan.

How to say it, outsmarted them.

The older sister fell short, didn’t earn face, but was fully compensated.

Now only the final blow was missing.

While Pei Muchan was packing up, Xu Qingyan went to the balcony and called Zhou Mian.

After confirming he was free, he then sent a WeChat to him, asking for a little help.
