CHAPTER 991: CHAPTER 992: WORRIED FOR XIAO YA

There are only a few days left before the New Year. Since they are not going back, naturally someone has to tell the family, and Qi Taiguo will do the talking. Hearing they were not going back, disappointment was inevitable, but nothing was said. As for whether the mother-in-law might complain privately, Cheng Su wouldn’t worry about it.

The jam factory decided to start the holiday on the twenty-eighth of the New Year, because there was a large order volume this year. They would resume work on the thirteenth day after the New Year.

Before the holiday, Cheng Su had Xiao Pinshan plan a New Year’s meal and organized a lottery event. As for the year-end bonus, that naturally was not to be missed.

Ning Ge also returned before the year-end party, but his complexion didn’t look too good. Cheng Su would naturally ask.

"It’s nothing, just tired." Ning Ge smiled.

Cheng Su looked full of skepticism.

Ning Ge continued, "If you took a long-distance train from Beijing back here, you’d be tired too, and your complexion wouldn’t look good either."

Cheng Su snorted and said, "Whatever you say always makes sense."

Ning Ge didn’t argue further, only saying, "Alright, alright, I won’t argue with you. You can watch over the factory. I’ll go find Big Brother Qi to chat. Truly, it’s hard to deal with women and petty people."

Cheng Su was furious, "Stop right there!"

But Ning Ge was already running away in a flash.

Cheng Su was so angry that she stomped her foot.

Ying Xiaoya glanced around a few times and said, "Did Ning Ge run off again? His butt hasn’t even touched the chair yet!"

"Who knows what he’s up to, being all secretive." Cheng Su snorted lightly.

Ying Xiaoya shrugged, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

Cheng Su followed her gaze. It was Xiao Pinshan, and she coughed heavily.

Ying Xiaoya’s face instantly turned red, yet she still sneaked glances at Xiao Pinshan.

Xiao Pinshan smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded at her, and then went to Cheng Su to inquire about the details of the year-end party. After finishing, he continued to be busy, and Ying Xiaoya’s eyes seemed to be glued to his back.

Cheng Su coughed again, looking at her with a teasing smile, "Wow, in just a few days, you’re sticking together like sugary beans!"

"Not at all!" Ying Xiaoya was a bit embarrassed, her ears turning red.

Cheng Su then asked, "Do your parents know?"

Ying Xiaoya’s mischievous smile froze.

Seeing this, Cheng Su frowned slightly, "You didn’t tell them?"

"I only mentioned it briefly and planned to bring him back to meet them during the New Year." Ying Xiaoya said, looking down.

That shouldn’t be the case. If Director Ying knew about Xiao Pinshan’s specifics, he would definitely call Cheng Su to inquire. But now there’s no sign of anything, is it not fully discussed?

"You haven’t mentioned Xiao Pinshan’s situation to Uncle Jian and Auntie, have you?" Cheng Su pointed out.

Ying Xiaoya hung her head even lower, finally saying after a while, "I, I just mentioned I’m seeing someone and plan to bring him back during the New Year."

"Didn’t they ask anything? You should give them a heads-up beforehand and talk about Xiao Pinshan’s situation. Don’t wait until the meeting and have them ask some inappropriate questions, that would be awkward!" Cheng Su advised her, "If you tell them in advance, they can be mentally prepared and know how to respond. If you don’t say anything, they know nothing, what will you do if it gets awkward?"

Ying Xiaoya clearly hadn’t thought that far, "I’m afraid they won’t agree."

"You’re so muddled. You’re already seeing him, and they need to know his situation. Whether they’ll agree comes later. This paper-covered fire, can you cover it for a lifetime?" Cheng Su really wanted to open her head to see if it was filled with mush.

Ying Xiaoya reluctantly said, "Then, I’ll mention it when I go back tonight!"

Cheng Su nodded, but wasn’t optimistic. She feared that Xiao Ya and Xiao Pinshan would have to overcome many obstacles to be together.
