Chapter 244: Try Again

Jiang Bei had sent a New Year's message to Su Mu an hour ago, a brief six words: "Susu, Happy New Year."

Just looking at it, Su Mu's heart softened into a mush, and she replied succinctly, "Happy New Year, Xiaobei."

As she put down her phone, her gaze inadvertently collided with Fu Shinian's, and for once she did not look away. Fu Shinian watched her, then reached into his pocket, pulled out a red envelope, and handed it to her:

"Happy New Year."

Looking at the red envelope in his hand, which was thin and almost weightless, Su Mu smiled slightly:

"What is this?"

"The New Year's money I promised you."

But Su Mu did not want to take it: "I don't need it."

"It's already wrapped, just for good luck."

Taking the red envelope, Su Mu asked, "Why didn't you give it to me just now?"

Fu Shinian smiled and replied, "Giving out red envelopes like this, the Fu family would go bankrupt."
