Chapter 286 My name is Jiang Yu, or to be more precise, my last name is Shang

On New Year's Eve of that year, Shang Qichao and Bai Jinyu came to the villa on Chongyuan Road, and the family spent the reunion night together.

Shang Zhuoming put on his thick down jumpsuit as he wished, carried his favorite tiger lantern, and set off fireworks in the yard.

The next day was New Year's Day, and Shang Jiangan and Shang Jiangchuan's families also came to the villa on Chongyuan Road.

The adults distributed red envelopes and gifts to the children, then sat down to drink tea and chat.

There were just four men playing a game, sipping tea and drawing cards at the same time.

When the atmosphere was just right, the doorman called to say that a guest was coming.

Shen Chaoxi didn't think too much about it. Several younger generations in his family would take time out every year to pay New Year's greetings to Shang Qichao.

Shen Chaoxi told them on the phone that they could be let in, and the gate sent a car to take the guests to the villa area.

The two who came in were one big and one small.

A young woman with a girl of five or six years old.

The two of them were dressed very casually, and it was obvious that they were the kind of people who had enough food and clothing but were not extremely wealthy.

Shen Chaoxi went out to greet them. As the hostess, she knew the guests were welcome, so naturally she had to greet them with a smile.

However, when he saw the young woman's face clearly, Shen Chaoxi could no longer maintain the smile on his face.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the person with this face was a man, he could be said to be a twin of Shang Jiangchuan.

"Who are you?" Shen Chaoxi asked.

The young woman lowered her head slightly, holding the little girl in a red down jacket beside her with one hand, and tucked her hair behind her ears with the other hand.

She had medium-short hair, which was curled and dyed brown-red, and casually scattered on her shoulders.

"My name is Jiang Yu, or to be more precise, my last name is Shang."

Although he already had a guess in his mind, Shen Chaoxi was still surprised for a moment when he actually heard the name.

The temperature is unusually low today. After standing for a while, the little girl said she was cold.

The little girl had a soft voice and looked at her mother with her big eyes while speaking, appearing very polite.

Shen Chaoxi asked someone to come into the house in a panic.

Shang Jiangyu did not move, with a hint of timidity on his face.

"Excuse me for disturbing you. Today is Chinese New Year and I wanted to come and pay my respects. I wonder if I'm welcome. Why don't you go and ask?"

Shang Jiangyu's eyes flickered, and it could be seen that he was in some embarrassment.

Shen Chaoxi smiled at them and invited them into the hall again.

"There's no reason to deny entry to someone who comes. Besides, the child is still young, don't let him get frozen."

Shang Jiangyu raised his head and looked at Shen Chaoxi.

The first impression the person in front of her gave her was that she was too beautiful, and then her words and behavior were easy-going. She knew who this person was: the wife of the third young master of the business world, who currently has the most say.

Shen Chaoxi is younger than Shang Jiangyu.

Seeing the sincere expression in Shen Chaoxi's eyes, Shang Jiangyu hesitated for a moment and pulled the little girl into the hall.

The indoor temperature is kept at 25 or 26 degrees.

After entering the entrance hall, Shen Chaoxi brought slippers for the two of them and asked his aunt to go upstairs to call down the men in the house.

"It's hot in the hall, take off your coat," Shen Chaoxi suggested.

Shang Jiangyu tightened his grip on the little girl's hand and was about to refuse when he heard his daughter say she was hot.

Today they went out wearing heavy clothes. When they took off their coats, they were wearing thick sweaters underneath.

Shen Chaoxi was stunned for a few seconds, then extended his hand to invite them to sit inside and asked the aunt to pour water for the guests.

Except for those family members who were playing cards on the second floor, everyone else went to the audio-visual room to watch movies.

In the hall, besides Shen Chaoxi, there were a few aunties busy preparing lunch.

"Mom, this place is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the hotel we stayed in. Look, there are so many crystal chandeliers hanging in the air, like stars in the sky!" After the little girl sat down, her eyes were attracted by the interior decoration, and she had long forgotten the timidity she felt when she first arrived.

"Niuniu, stop making trouble and be polite!" Shang Jiangyu pulled the child to his side and reminded her in a low voice.

Sure enough, the little girl named Niu Niu immediately quieted down.

However, how could a child who was only five or six years old know how to restrain himself like an adult? After a while, his little butt began to twist around and his little eyes looked around.

Shen Chaoxi brought over a plate of fruits and food and asked Niu Niu to pick what she liked.

"No, no, she had already eaten when she came." Shang Jiangyu's words of refusal successfully stopped the little girl from extending her hand.

Shen Chaoxi had heard a little about the wife and daughter that the merchant uncle could not acknowledge outside.

Knowing that their food and clothing are taken care of by others, Shang Qichao would probably not treat the widow of the eldest wife harshly.

But now it seems that Shang Jiangyu's life is not good.

There was a sound coming from the second floor, and Shang Jianghan came down first.

"How come there are guests? Dad said to let our relatives come back on the third day of the New Year." Shang Jianghan said as he walked downstairs.

Just now upstairs, the men were discussing the latest science and technology museum. They were having a very interesting conversation. When they heard there were guests coming, they thought they were just unimportant neighbors.

Shang Jianghan slowly lowered his eyes and walked downstairs to see a mother and a daughter, one big and one small.

"Third... Third brother?" Shang Jiangyu stood up and called out, his voice choked with sobs.

"Jiang Yu?" Shang Jianghan was obviously surprised that it was her who came. "You are not abroad? Why are you here?"

At first glance, these words sound like disdain.

Shen Chaoxi quietly pulled Shang Jianghan's sleeve.

"Jiang Yu brought Niuniu to wish her parents a happy new year. How can you talk like that?" Shen Chaoxi reminded in a low voice.

Shang Jianghan suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and turned around and asked Shen Chaoxi to go upstairs to call the other three people.

When a few people went downstairs, they heard crying coming from the sofa area in the living room.

It's the New Year's Day, and crying is a bit of a spoiler.

Bai Jinyu from the audio-visual room also came out.

"What's going on?" she asked Shen Chaoxi who was walking behind her.

Shen Chaoxi didn't know what Bai Jinyu's attitude was about his uncle's family, so he just said, "My uncle's daughter outside brought her children to pay New Year's greetings."

Bai Jinyu frowned, "Why are you crying when you come to pay New Year's greetings?"

When she asked this question, she didn't expect to get an answer.

At this time, Shang Jiangyu saw his second uncle, second aunt, and several brothers coming out, and he lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Niu Niu was a little scared and kept snuggling into her mother's arms.

Shang Qichao had met his niece several times. Sometimes when he was on business trips abroad, he would take time to take her out for a meal.

At that time, Shang Jiangyu was not married yet. The girl in her early twenties had a good personality and spoke like a lark. Later, when she got married, Shang Qichao did not go because of a lot of things at home, but he also gave her a large sum of gift money.

"I wanted to wish you and Second Aunt a Happy New Year, but I couldn't help crying when I saw you. It's New Year's Day, please forgive me, Uncle and Aunt."

Shang Qichao sat down and sighed silently.

He pointed at Shang Jiangan and Shang Jiangchuan, introducing the three siblings to each other.

"You haven't met your eldest brother yet," he then said to the brothers, "This is Jiang Yu. I told you last time that she is our youngest daughter. She has been abroad for many years and promised your father not to come back. It's a good opportunity to meet her today. It's the New Year, so it's a good thing to get together!"

After Shang Qichao finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Bai Jinyu on the other side.

Bai Jinyu's face was calm, with no visible emotions, and her eyes were looking at the mother and daughter.

Shang Jiangan nodded. He was the eldest in the family and should say a few words.

"It's good for you to come back. We have to meet each other someday. Where do you live now? If it's not convenient, you can stay at my house."
