At the front of the hotel, a Buick gL8 had been waiting. As soon as the driver saw Wei Xingyue, he opened the automatic door and got out of the car himself.

He rested his hands in white gloves slightly on the edge of the door and spoke, "Happy New Year, miss Wei."

Wei Xingyue nodded and smiled brightly, "Happy New Year," she took out a red pocket and passed it to him, "This is yours."

"Miss, how can I possibly accept it?"

"You should take what's yours. Perhaps this will be the last red pocket I can give you." With that said, Wei Xingyue climbed into the car. She sat with a straight back and looked ahead without panicking, ready to face the storm.

The driver took the red pocket, sighed and shook his head, "Miss, you should…"

"Hmm, go to my godfather's place."

"But it has been more than ten days and he never accepted to see you…"

"No matter what, it is the first day of the new year and I need to give him my greetings and blessings. Whether he helps me or not, I need to say 'Happy New Year' to him. As his goddaughter, it's something I insisted on doing for ten years."

The driver said nothing more and started the engine in silence.

In the morning of the first day of the new year, there were barely any cars even on the second ring express road of Didu which was usually packed.

Wei Xingyue looked outside the window and beamed as she drove through it. She thought that it would be nice if everything went smoothly today.

When she arrived, Wei Xingyue got out of the car. There were guards at the front gate. She could enter, but the car could not.

"Alright, you can go back. I feel bad for asking you to come out so early. Greet your wife for me."

The driver panicked, "It's fine. I will wait for you to come out. You will need the car when you come out."

Wei Xingyue laughed and brushed the hair behind her ears, "It's fine, I won't be out quickly today. If I need you, I'll call you before I come out. Perhaps godfather will let me in because it's the New Year today. Who knows?"

The driver replied without a choice, "Ok, call me anytime and I will come as quickly as possible."

Wei Xingyue waved his hands and walked towards the two soldiers with guns.

Both soldiers bowed in unison as they saw Wei Xingyue. Wei Xingyue took out two pockets and passed them to both, "There's not much money in it. It won't violate any principles. It's only for happiness in the New Year."

The soldiers exchanged a glance with each other and looked at the red pocket. Indeed, they weren't thick as there was probably only 100 or 200 yuan in it. They nodded and accepted while thanking her, "Thank you, Miss Wei. Miss, Happy New Year, except he…"

"It's fine, it has nothing to do with you two. I'll be outside and only go in if I'm allowed," Wei Xingyue walked past them and entered the front yard, stopping in front of the only building that was made out of red brick and had a green roof.

She pressed the doorbell lightly and maintained a small smile on her face. The door opened after a while and a middle-aged woman around forty years old stood in the door.

"Xingyue, you are here?"

Wei Xingyue nodded, "Big sister, I came to say 'Happy New Year' to the godfather."

The middle-aged woman sighed, "Xingyue, you should know that Dad… There's really nothing he can do about it. It's inconvenient for him to step up."

"The main purpose today is to greet him for Chinese New Year. I'm fine with either seeing me or not, but as his goddaughter, I must perform my duty."

The middle-aged woman sighed again and moved to make way, "No matter what, come in first. This is as far as I can help you. Dad is upstairs and I can't do anything to make him change his mind. If he doesn't want to, you have to leave when he comes down later."

Wei Xingyue smiled brighter, "Thank you, big sister. I'm very thankful that I don't have to stand in the snow. I don't dare to request anything more.

The middle-aged woman nodded and let Wei Xingyue in as she closed the door.

She waved her hands, gesturing the nanny to leave. She poured a cup of tea for Wei Xingyue personally and placed it in front of her.

"Xingyue, I just came back yesterday and I'm leaving again tomorrow. I somewhat know what is happening to your family. The Yu family took the lead for the sake of their benefits two years later. Both families are giving all that they have for his father's position. Their family is too unradical about it, but your father… when he was young…" The middle-aged woman hesitated and stopped in the middle of the sentence.

Wei Xingyue picked up the tea and warmed her hands, "My father also knows that the situation is not in our favor. We don't expect godfather to help us a lot. We can give up all our wealth. He simply wishes for the safety of the family."

"Yu family's ancestry was military based and it's impossible for them to leave any potential danger back. I watched you and Puti grow up and I know that you and your sisters haven't done anything. However, if you are born into the emperor's family, it's impossible to exclude you. Dad said that there's no way he can help you with you as his goddaughter. The only way is for you to marry into our family to be his daughter-in-law. As my family's daughter-in-law, the Yu family definitely won't dare to touch you. However, my Dad can't do anything about Jingang and Puti. This involved too much and the Yu family is renowned. The line from the film can be said…"

Wei Xingyue's smile became sorrowful, "Big sister, we are both women. I can marry anyone and I never looked down on the third brother. But what's the point of me living my life on the verge of hell when I must watch my father, my older brother, and younger sister sink into it? Not to mention that I have a man I love and it's unfair if I marry the third brother."

"Idiot, how many more years can our third brother live? You can marry him first and then be together with that man. Do you think that Dad will stop you from marrying again? Dad told me numerous times that you are his favorite out of the entire Wei family. You are the only one who didn't touch anything dirty. Even Puti helped your father and your older brother. You can't possibly not know, right?"

"But they are my family. How can I leave them behind?"

The middle-aged woman sighed for a long time again and didn't speak.

She asked her father and her father made it very clear that he could only save Wei Xingyue. He had to serve another term and he didn't want this to threaten him two years later. He couldn't afford it, nor could his whole family.

Hence, it was possible for Wei Xingyue to ask him to save everyone with the surname Wei.

A soldier walked down and nodded at the middle-aged woman, "I've finished checking. The condition of his body is stable. His blood pressure may be slightly higher because he was happy and drank a little for the New Year. He's fine now."

The middle-aged man stood up and walked the military doctor outside before speaking to Wei Xingyue, "I'll go up and ask again whether Dad can see you. If I don't come back in five minutes, you should leave. Dad should come down for breakfast soon."

Wei Xingyue smiled as she agreed, but her smile could no longer conceal the gloominess inside her heart.

After the middle-aged woman went upstairs, Wei Xingyue had been staring at the time on her phone. Five minutes passed. She couldn't stay any longer than that as she had to obey the rules of a family strictly.

After four and half minutes, Wei Xingyue was on the verge of giving up, but the middle-aged woman walked down the stairs quickly and joyfully spoke in an extremely low voice, "Dad told you to eat breakfast with him!"

Wei Xingyue was extremely delighted.
