Chapter 226 Send Red Envelopes
Chapter 226 Send Red Envelopes
Michelle Si was unhappy with her mother picking up Kerr Si. She curled her lips and groaned, "Mommy,
Kerr has his own mommy. Why are you holding him?"
Ella Bo teased her with a smile, and said, "You little jealous girl."
Nearly all the people burst out laughing, and Sally Si fed Michelle cherry pulp.
Janet Shao looked at her daughter, and asked her, "Didn't your auntie hug you?"
Michelle nodded in agreement, smacked her lips after swallowing the cherry, and replied, "Yes, she
did."
"Well, we're even now. Auntie hugged you, and it's only fair for me to hug Kerr too." Janet sat on the
couch, placing Kerr on her lap.
Nicole Si stretched her arms out and invited Michelle, "Come here! Auntie Nicole will hug you."
Michelle smiled and ran to Nicole, who also placed her on her legs.
Unhappy because she was ignored, Melissa Shao pouted, and murmured with a pitiful voice, "No one
is hugging me..."
Ella beckoned her over to her, and said, "Come here; Grandma Ella will hug you!"
Melissa, while shaking her head, explained to her, "No, Grandma, I want Auntie Sally. She's going to
have a baby, and I want to touch her tummy!"
Sally, who was feasting on the bowl of cherries, wiped her hands with some wet wipes, and said,
"Come here, little girl, of course Auntie Sally will hug you."
Melissa quickly ran to Sally and sat on her legs, enjoying the cherries that she fed to her.
Their conversation ended when the servants served their lunch.
They then seated themselves at the dining table, and because of the three kids present, it was quite a
noisy lunch.
When Nicole left, Janet told her multiple times to hide the secret from Daniel.
'If Daniel knew that I gave birth to twin girls, he would stop me from seeing both of the children, ' she
thought.
"Don't worry, Jane, I won't tell him." Although she reminded her for almost one hundred times, Nicole
nodded and promised her each time.
'It's better for them to figure out their misunderstandings by themselves, ' she thought. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Sally left with Kerr, and in the evening, Janet answered a call from Sven Si.
"Sven."
Janet was looking at the best store renting info on the Internet. She would've liked her previous cake
store, but the owner didn't want to sell it to her, and Jane had to continue surfing the webpages.
"Jane, we've made plans to go climbing. You'd better also make arrangements in advance, if you want
to come with us." Sven wouldn't give Janet the chance to say no, because Lola had arranged this
activity for them to get Janet and Daniel back together.
If either Janet or Daniel refused to go, the trip would be canceled.
"Hum? Who's going?" Janet was surprised by the plan.
"Nicole, Sally, Daniel, Selina and her brother, Angela, Shelly and her brother, Jerry and you." All would
go except for the six-year-old John Shao.
Perplexed, Janet asked, "But Selina and Cole are abroad, aren't they?"
"The May Day is coming, so they've returned. Selina arrived home yesterday, and Cole will arrive
tomorrow." Since they were seldom in C Country at the same time, none should be absent.
Sven had also put off his business travels for two days, so that Jane and Daniel had another chance to
meet and make up with each other.
Jerry Shao had also postponed two important lawsuits.
Daniel was as busy as a bee. When Sven got to Daniel's company, he found Daniel drunk after a
copious business dinner.
Daniel refused the climbing plan without any sort of hesitation, and said that there would be an
important negotiation happening the day after tomorrow.
Sven complained, "If you don't attend, who will accompany Jane then? Well, anyway, if you're saying
that you can't make it, I'll invite instead her new friend, Cas… I forgot his name."
Daniel thought to himself, 'What do you mean her new friend?' and then kicked Sven in the shins.
Sven slapped his calves. It didn't hurt so much, and he continued his chattering. "Oh, I remember now!
I've met him once before, his name is Caspar Qiao and…"
Daniel rubbed his throbbing temples, and interrupted Sven, asking, "At what time and where will we
meet the day after tomorrow?"
Sven was happy that his strategy had worked. After telling Daniel the time and place of their gathering,
he called Jane.
It was indeed a hard-won chance, and Janet thought for a while, and nodded, "Okay, at what time? I'll
go and buy some proper clothes tomorrow."
The tracksuits she currently had had been bought a couple of years ago, and they didn't fit her
anymore.
"I'll come to pick you up at your house at 8 am the day after tomorrow. We can buy some clothes
together tomorrow evening. Is that okay with you?" It wasn't necessary for Sven to buy a tracksuit
himself, but it didn't matter, because he wanted to provide as many opportunities as he could for Daniel
and Janet to get back together.
Sven sighed, and in his mind, complained, 'I'm both Jane, and Daniel's sworn brother. I'm so worried
for their love that I put on the biggest efforts for them.'
Janet replied, "Okay!"
After that, Sven went the whole mile. He invited all of them into a WeChat group, and all of them
immediately said the same thing.
"Daniel, Boss Si, send us red envelopes!" Angela was the first to make fun of Daniel.
Sally followed him, and asked Daniel to come out from his hiding.
Then Selina came. All had called for red envelopes, all except Janet.
She thought for a while and decided to keep silent, waiting for the red envelopes to be delivered.
And indeed, Daniel soon began to send red envelopes.
He sent one after another, and every packet was filled with two hundred, the maximum sum WeChat
allowed.
Daniel sent ten red envelopes and everyone happily snatched them. Janet found that she had got the
luckiest draw six times*.
(*TN: In a Wechat group, the user can choose the quantity and sum of the red envelopes which can be
allotted in random amount or identical amount. Who gets the luckiest draw refers to the one who
receives the most money.)
Selina staged a protest against Daniel's unfair partiality for Jane.
In fact, all of them knew that it was just a matter of luck on who snatched the most envelopes. Selina
was just making fun of both Daniel and Janet.
Sven mediated the situation, and wrote, "Boss Si, please send some more red envelopes, but Jane,
this time you aren't allowed to snatch them."
No one replied. Janet thought to herself, 'I just had good luck. I have nothing to say to you if you're
jealous.'
Daniel, who was maybe in a good mood, again sent several red envelopes, as was expected. Janet did
as Sven had requested of her.
Daniel sent a lot of red envelopes. But Janet's part would be returned to Daniel*!
(*TN: In WeChat, red envelopes will be returned to the sender if the receiver doesn't open it in 24
hours.)
After Daniel stopped sending the red envelopes, Angela began to bother Sven. As a result, Sven, who
was just as rich as Daniel, sent even more red envelopes.
Jerry, Scott and Cole soon joined them and all spent the whole afternoon snatching red envelopes.
Finally, after all the red envelopes were snatched, Janet asked, "I'd like to buy some tracksuits. Who
wants to go shopping with me?"
Angela replied, "I already have tracksuits, but I can go with you if you'd like."
Nicole answered with a "1", which meant that she would also come along.
All the others agreed to go, all except Jerry, Shelly and Scott.
However, Daniel didn't answer, so no one knew whether he would also go with them, or not.
Sven asked Daniel whether he would go in the group, but just got the reply, "In a meeting."
The others were left speechless.
Janet thought, "Since you have time to type 'in a meeting', why don't you also say a yes or no?"
'It's more likely for him to be absent because of me. As the old saying goes, when enemies come face
to face, their eyes blaze with hatred. Daniel and I won't be engaged together in the same activity.'
Nicole left Shao's family mansion for the Leroy Manor. When Lola and Harry promised to keep the
secret for themselves, she told them all about the twins.
