Mama Zhou paused for a moment, then said, "Let me take a look at your report card?"

Zhou Sheng said, "Not all the results are out yet; I didn't fail anything."

Mama Zhou was in doubt as she took her phone out to make a call. Zhou Sheng said, "It's the New Year, could you stop bothering him for just a moment? You'll get to see him later."

"Where is he?" Mama Zhou immediately began rummaging through her bag, "That's why I said it was necessary to bring a few empty red packets when going out......wei! Waiter! Waiter!" After she couldn't get anyone for a moment, Zhou Sheng had to ring the bell for her. But Mama Zhou went to one end of the room and just removed a bunch of red packets hanging on the mandarin tree.

Zhou Sheng once again motioned to the waiter to signal that it was alright. Mama Zhou took out a stack of hundred yuan new money, then smeared some saliva on a finger before counting them one by one. She stuffed them into a red packet and asked, "You're going back tonight? Here's the keys, I'm not going back."

"I'm not." Zhou Sheng said, "I'll go find a place to play by myself." As he spoke, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, glance sideways at his own mother, and consider how to hold her back after the truth was out in the open so that she wouldn't scratch Yu Hao's face. Mama Zhou had even gotten a manicure specifically for today; glimmering rhinestones were pasted all over her nails, and it was nearly as horrifying as Medusa's sharp nails.

Mama Zhou asked how much would be an appropriate amount to put in the red packet. Zhou Sheng was annoyed to death by all her questions, but Zhou Laichun still hadn't come back. He said, "Whatever's fine."

Mama Zhou asked again how much his father usually gave Yu Hao in his red packets. Zhou Sheng thought it's just giving my friend a red packet, yet you still want to compete with him. Neither of you will probably give anything later.

"Anything!" Zhou Sheng said, "Is the old man coming or not? If he's not, I'm leaving! Stop counting your money, I can't stand you anymore."

Mama Zhou glared at Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng said, "The old man gave him 8,000 last year, just pack whatever ba." So Mama Zhou took out all of the new money from her bag, placed it on the table, and continued counting.

After stuffing the red packet, Zhou Laichun finally came back. He had a long face when he entered and looked a bit worn out, then sat down at the host seat.

"Kidney deficiency?" Mama Zhou dove straight to the point, "Can't screw the little beauties anymore I guess? Director Zhou?"

Zhou Laichun said to his ex-wife, "Smells like cheap toilet water in here, could you tidy yourself up properly? And you're even wearing wholesale socks."

"I suggest we have a good talk today!" Zhou Sheng said seriously, "I really don't want to fight, it's too tiring. I had already booked a flight to Australia, but you guys got me to free up one day. I'm here now, my itinerary was all cancelled, so let's just stop and have a proper New Year's Eve dinner, okay?"

Zhou Laichun thought for a bit and said, "Okay, let's have a good talk. Zhou Sheng's all grown up now too."

Papa Zhou and Mama Zhou looked at their son together.

"I asked both of you to come today because there's something I want to announce." Zhou Laichun said, "Give me a minute."

"Where are you going again?" Zhou Sheng saw that Zhou Laichun had called a waiter over. The waiter brought in a beautiful woman. Zhou Sheng thought she was going to perform some kind of tea ceremony for them, so he moved aside to make it easier for her to perform. However, Zhou Laichun said, "This is my fiancée, we're going to get married after the Spring Festival. Come, Xiao Qin, let me introduce you. This is my ex-wife, and this is my son, Zhou Sheng......"
