642 New Year’s Eve Dinner
“Mom, that’s you.” Lu Suo pointed at the poster and reported. After, he pulled Song Ci’s hand and walked over. He stared at the poster carefully.
Song Ci was wearing a hat, glasses, a mask, and even a thick scarf. She was dressed very strictly.
Lu Suo pointed at the words on the poster and read them word by word. “I’d like to invite you to watch it on the first day of the Lunar New Year.”
“That’s right.” Song Ci smiled. “We can go to the cinema to watch a movie on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Then, you’ll be able to see you and your brother in a movie on the big screen.”
Lu Suo was very interested in the fact that he was about to appear on the movie screen. He said excitedly, “That’s great!”
Song Ci rubbed his little head and hoped that director Chen gave them a few more seconds of screen time.
The family played outside the entire day before returning home with food and toys. With the arrival of New Year’s Eve, the atmosphere of the New Year was becoming more and more intense.
In the end, Song He could not help but call Song Ci. He asked her if she would return to visit for the New Year this year, as he was the only one left at home. However, no matter how humble Song He was, Song Ci still rejected him. Her tone was cold and sarcastic, just like how he treated Kong Chuyun and her daughter back then. “I’m celebrating the New Year on my own, of course. Spring Festival is such a big day, and I have to prepare for it. Where else could I go? Besides, what does it have to do with you?”
Song He put down the phone and looked at his cold and empty house. There was no point in regretting now. All he had was endless silence.
Once Song Ci hung up the phone, the smile returned to her face as if the coldness just now had not been her. As expected of an actress, she changed her mood so quickly.
Lu Gan had been observing Lu Suo’s mood closely. They used to go to the Lu family’s old mansion every New Year, and he was worried that Lu Suo would bring it up and ask questions. He would want to see his grandfather, especially now that Song Ci received a call from home.
However, perhaps due to the forgetfulness of children, Lu Suo had not mentioned not seeing Lu Hongyong much the entire year. Lu Gan thought it through. If Lu Suo asked about him, he would tell Lu Suo that Lu Hongyong had gone abroad and could not spend the Spring Festival with him. Although Lu Suan did not care about Lu Hongyong, it would be too cruel for Lu Suo if he were to find out about this. He would rather Lu Suo think that Lu Hongyong was a grandfather who cared about him and liked him.
However, what Lu Gan did not know was that in Lu Suo’s heart, he had no care at all toward Lu Hongyong. So naturally, he would not mention Lu Hongyong because Lu Hongyong had never been in his heart. If Lu Hongyong did not have the identity of Lu Gan and Lu Heng’s father, Lu Suo would not even look at him. As long as Lu Hongyong had this identity and Lu Suan cared, he would care. However, since the very beginning, Lu Hongyong had never been the one Lu Suo cared about.
Even though Lu Suo was born cold, he cared a lot about his parents and uncle. If he was not cold-hearted, Lu Hongyong still doted on Lu Suo very much. However, in Lu Suo’s heart, Lu Hongyong was no different from the weeds on the roadside.
Unfortunately, Lu Gan did not know what Lu Suo was thinking. He was still waiting to comfort his well-behaved, soft-hearted, kind, cute, and innocent little nephew.
Lu Suo, on the other hand, held a firecracker and hopped around as he asked Lu Gan to light it up. He wanted to hear the crackling sound. He was so happy that his eyes were about to disappear. How could he still think about his grandfather?
Lu Gan took it, telling him to eat first. He could play after dinner.
Song Ci sat next to Lu Gan and picked up some food for the children. As she watched the Spring Festival Gala, she ate New Year’s Eve dinner with them.
When he saw the popular celebrities come out, Lu Gan could not help but ask, “With all those people there, why didn’t they invite you?”
Song Ci shrugged nonchalantly. “Fortunately, you didn’t come looking for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the time to have New Year’s Eve dinner with you guys.” Besides, compared to singing and dancing at the Spring Festival, she would rather be with Lu Gan.
“If you can go, then you should. This way, you can increase your popularity.” Lu Gan said.
“I’m already very famous,” Song Ci said proudly to him. “Don’t worry. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely go.”
Lu Gan mirrored her bright smile and silently held his hand under the table.
