Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Huai-ren drove to Hong Kong Island. In the passenger seat sat an uneasy Lin Qing-xia, whose hands, unsure of what to do, kept twisting the hem of her clothes.

Li Huai-ren turned to look at her and said:

"It's nothing, it's just a visit to Uncle's house for a meal, why are you so nervous?"

Lin Qingxia rolled her eyes at him:

"Hey, Li Huairen, that's really going too far. You didn't even bother to discuss it with me before telling them I'm your girlfriend."

Li Huai-ren turned around and glanced at her speechlessly:

"How many times have I explained this? If I hadn't said I already had a girlfriend, I might be engaged to Bao Bao's youngest daughter today."

He paused, smiled, and said:

"Since you're not willing to come with me to Uncle Si's house for dinner, I'll turn around and take you back. Lijun can come with me instead. Anyway, Uncle Si didn't ask me what my girlfriend's name was this morning."

Ouch, that hurts! It really hurts! Let go, let go right now!

Before he could finish speaking, Brigitte Lin's "two-finger technique" had already accurately found the soft flesh on his waist, pinching and twisting it.

This time, the force she used was clearly not at the level they usually used when flirting; it was at least double, causing him to scream in pain.

Lin Qingxia didn't let go, nor did she make a sound; she just tilted her head and quietly looked at him.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I was just joking. Let go, let go now, it hurts, okay?"

Lin Qingxia looked at him and slowly said:

"They're not loosening their grip; their attitude isn't sincere enough."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made that kind of joke with you."

"Don't let go, you're just mimicking me, you're not being sincere at all!"

The two joked and teased each other along the way, and before they knew it, Brigitte Lin was no longer as nervous as before. Around 4 p.m., they crossed the harbor and arrived at Lee Chiu-kei's villa on Hong Kong Island.

"You, you are Jia Baoyu?"

The two entered the main building of the villa, and Ms. Liu, Li Zhaoji's wife, recognized Brigitte Lin at a glance, which surprised her greatly.

"Fourth Aunt, Happy New Year!" Li Huai-ren smiled and quickly wished her a Happy New Year, then turned around and winked at Lin Qingxia.

Lin Qingxia blushed slightly and quickly wished her a Happy New Year as well:

"Happy New Year, Fourth Aunt!"

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year!" Ms. Liu replied, carefully examining Brigitte Lin.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Brigitte Lin, right? Tsk tsk tsk, you're much prettier in person than on TV! Brigitte, you're truly beautiful!"

After saying that, she took out two large red envelopes from her handbag and handed them to the two of them, saying to Brigitte Lin:

"Qingxia, don't be shy, just make yourself at home."

Li Huai-ren and Lin Qing-xia had dinner at Li Zhao-ji's house, then chatted for tea for more than half an hour before saying goodbye and going home.

Li Zhaoji and his wife were quite open-minded and didn't look down on Brigitte Lin's status as an actress. Ms. Liu, a former Miss Hong Kong winner, was a big fan of Brigitte Lin and made plans with her to go shopping together the next day during dinner.

After leaving Li Zhaoji's villa and getting into the car, Li Huai-ren thought for a moment, then took out the red envelopes that Li Zhaoji and his wife had given him from the inside pocket of his suit jacket and handed them to Lin Qingxia. He then opened the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat and gave her all the red envelopes that Li Chao-ren and others had given her that morning, saying:

"You're going shopping with your fourth aunt tomorrow. I know you give all your earnings to your mother to help support the family. These red envelopes are all for you. When you go shopping with your fourth aunt tomorrow, she can't pay for everything. You should pay for some too."

Lin Qingxia was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes narrowed into beautiful crescent shapes. She accepted the large pile of red envelopes, looked up at Li Huai-ren, and said:

"I took the opportunity to go to the restroom just now to open the red envelopes and see that the red envelopes my fourth uncle and fourth aunt gave me were all cash checks for HK$8,888."

You gave me all the red envelopes they gave you, plus the ones you received this morning. Why are you being so generous all of a sudden?

Tell me, are you plotting something?

Li Huai-ren rolled his eyes at her:

"A conspiracy? What conspiracy could I possibly have?"

Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, and Eldest Sister, they have all accepted you as my fiancée. These red envelopes are pocket money that I, your fiancé, am giving you. Is that not acceptable?

"Well, you can also consider these red envelopes as my first household allowance for you. Starting next month, I will transfer household funds to your bank account every month."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxia immediately blushed and glared at him:

"Nonsense! We're not even married yet, how could I accept that? What kind of household allowance is that?"

Li Huai-ren grasped her right hand with his left and smiled:

"We've already met each other's parents, and my older sister even put you in charge of yesterday's ancestral worship ceremony. Hehe, only a daughter-in-law of the Li family could handle that, so isn't our marriage just a matter of time?"

After saying that, taking advantage of Lin Qingxia's unpreparedness, he suddenly leaned over and lightly kissed her red lips like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Lin Qingxia's mind went completely blank, and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

"Oh my god, you bastard Li, how could you do this to me? You kissed me without my permission? Oh no, my first kiss is gone just like that?...

"Ouch, let go, let go now, it hurts! That was my first kiss, okay? It's fair, isn't it...?"

"Li, you bad guy, that was my first kiss..."

"That was my first kiss too, so we're even..."

The two bickered and argued all the way, finally arriving at Lin Qingxia's house in Bijia Mountain around 10 o'clock, but they held hands the whole time.

Li Huai-ren originally intended to steal a kiss on Lin Qingxia's red lips before she got out of the car, or even go further.

Unfortunately, Lin's father, who was supposed to protect himself from wolves, young punks, and bad guys like Li, stood guard at the Lin family's door like a stone statue. Li Huai-ren had no choice but to obediently give up the idea, park the car, and happily get out to greet Lin's father.

The next morning, Li Huai-ren took Lin Qingxia to Zheng Yutong's house to pay New Year's greetings. They had lunch at Zheng's house before leaving, and the two families, who had stopped contact for several years, began to visit each other again.

When the two returned to the Li family villa on Bijia Mountain, Li Yawen and Luo Jiazhuang had already arrived.

Li Huai-ren briefly explained to his elder sister, Li Ya-wen, the matter of visiting Zheng Yu-tong's house and resuming ties between the two families. After listening, Li Ya-wen nodded and said:

"Ah Ren, that was something that happened between the elders back then. It's not appropriate for us younger generation to comment on who was right and who was wrong."

In short, Aunt Cuiying is now the closest relative to my sibling and me. You did the right thing; it was my oversight. I should have taken you to visit Aunt Cuiying a long time ago.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Leslie Cheung, who would be attending the same school as Li Huai-ren in the next semester, moved out of his home and stayed at Li Huai-ren's house.

Leslie Cheung and his father seemed to be incompatible; they couldn't spend much time together and would inevitably quarrel, so he simply moved out.

Li Huai-ren started getting busy from the third day of the Lunar New Year. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, while having morning tea at the Peninsula Hotel, he promised to send VIP cards for Phoenix Plaza to Li Ka-shing, Bao Hong, Dong Zhuo, and other business owners.

From that day on, he took Brigitte Lin with him every day, going from house to house, handing out Phoenix Plaza VIP cards one after another. At the same time, all the wealthy families in Hong Kong already knew that Brigitte Lin was his fiancée.

Li Huai-ren achieved his goal; no wealthy family in Hong Kong ever wanted to form a marriage alliance with him again.

In the blink of an eye, it's already the Lantern Festival.

This day is auspicious for travel, assuming office, offering sacrifices, thanking the gods, and seeking wealth!
