Chapter 5524: Chapter 5524: Singles’ Day Red Packet

Ye Jian laughed out loud, and Old Man Xia quickly gestured for his granddaughter to come over.

”Girl, do you know any suitable girls around you who could be introduced to your elder brother? With his reserved personality, who knows when he’ll marry.”

Sitting beside Old Man Xia, Ye Jian glanced at Li Jinnian, who was scowling, and deliberately elongated her voice, ”Grandpa, there is actually a girl I know who is quite outstanding. How about I invite her over to our house during the New Year?”

”Good, very good. Invite her over early. A girl you think highly of must be great.” Old Man Xia was very pleased, guessing who Ye Jian was talking about, ”While your brother is here, it’s also good for him to see her. Blind arranged marriages aren’t popular anymore.”

Li Jinnian looked straight at Ye Jian and gave her a cold glance. Ye Jian raised her eyebrows and bravely returned a smile to Li Jinnian.

She was still thinking about how to find a reason or excuse to invite Niannian to the house in front of her brother when Grandpa conveniently continued along the lines she had started.

Now that the old master had spoken, the always filial brother could hardly refuse.

Ye Jian sweetly responded, ”Grandpa, then I’ll really invite her to our house for a visit. Let big brother take a good look; who knows, it might actually work out.”

”You’re thoughtful, granddaughter. I’ll leave this matter to you. If it’s done well, Grandpa will definitely give you a big red envelope.” The old master knew who Ye Jian was talking about and pretended to be unaware, ”How about, I give you the red envelope first? Will handling money first make you work harder?”

”I’ll definitely work doubly hard to foster a marriage for big brother.” Ye Jian, skilled in making the elderly happy, actually saw Old Man Xia fetching a red envelope!

He took out a red envelope he had prepared in advance and handed it to Ye Jian in front of Li Jinnian, ”This was originally your New Year’s money, but now consider it a running errand fee. Do a good job, and there’s a bigger reward waiting for you.”

”I swear, you’ll be pleased!” Ye Jian, holding the red envelope, decided to be a good matchmaker. There was clearly a bit of a story, and once she clarified the twists in that story, acting wouldn’t be too late.

A man in love, a woman willing, only some misunderstandings that can be well explained.

Then, Old Man Xia took out another red envelope and handed it to the speechless Li Jinnian, ”Here you go, you have a red envelope too. Take good care of it.”

”Do I have one too?” Li Jinnian, somewhat stunned, received the red envelope. He had a running errand fee too?

”I gave one to your sister; how could I forget you?” The old master found his grandson’s bewildered look amusing, ”An early wish for you to quickly escape singleness—hold on to it steadily. Your sister’s matters are settled early, yet you, as her brother, are even falling behind. Hurry up and find a granddaughter-in-law for Grandpa, and get out of being single soon.”

The weighty red envelope became a heavy burden.

A red envelope for escaping singleness... He felt somewhat unsteady holding it.

Chief Engineer Fu, seeing this, couldn’t help but laugh, ”Dad, it’s only the day after tomorrow that it’s New Year’s Eve. You’re giving out red envelopes early, and on New Year’s Eve, you’ll have to spend again.”

”I don’t mind the expense,” Old Man Xia shot back immediately, ”Even if you’re envious, there’s none for you.”

Chief Engineer Fu: ”...” Dad, you’re overthinking it; he really isn’t envious.

”You all continue chatting. I need to go take a nap. I was too happy last night and didn’t sleep well. I need to be refreshed to continue chatting with you.”
