The world begins with shameless people

Chicago's South Side.

In the shabby house of the Milkovich family.

Mickey, Mandy, William, Carl and Liam who had just arrived were sitting at the dining table, talking and laughing while eating and drinking.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang. Mandy put down the wine glass in her hand, took out her cell phone and saw that it was a text message from an unfamiliar number. She was stunned at first, and then she realized whose number it was.

the reason is simple.

Mandy also has no friends, but she has saved the names of people she knows who would send such blessings.

So, it’s most likely Lip.

In fact, Lip was the first man Mandy loved, or loved deeply...it was unrealistic to say that she had completely forgotten him.

Deep in Mandy's heart, there is still Lip.

But that's not to say that Mandy still loves Lip or anything.

There is only a memory.

As a human being, who doesn’t have some memories?

But memories are just memories.

The next second, Mandy smiled and clicked delete. Then, she put away her phone, picked up her wine glass, and continued to eat and drink.

After many twists and turns and going through many hardships, Comrade Mandy Milkovich finally came out of it after spending several years.

University of Chicago, in the dormitory.

In a sense, Lip is a stark contrast to Mandy.

To this day, the South Side and the Gallagher family still affect Lip very seriously.

The Lip man has walked out, but the soul is still gone...If this continues, there is a high probability that he will never walk out.

Leaning against the wall, sitting on the bed in the dormitory.

Lip drank beer and smoked a cigarette. He waited for a long time, but Mandy didn't reply. He finally gave up and shook his head. Then, he sent a text message to Amanda, "Merry Christmas Eve."

Lip didn't even like Amanda. He sent the text message simply because he felt lonely.

Unlike Mandy, it only took about ten seconds for Amanda to respond, "Happy Christmas Eve, are you home?"

"No, in the dorm," Lip replied.

"Going back tomorrow?" Amanda asked.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet," Lip replied.

The two of them chatted casually.

at the same time.

2118 North Wallace Street, Ding Xiu's home.

Ding Xiu, Bianca and their family, as well as a cat, a dog and a crow, were eating and drinking, laughing and talking all the time, and the air was filled with joy.

Ding Xiu smiled happily and liked this atmosphere very much.

Bianca was the same, all smiles.

It is worth mentioning that.

Jackson's house, which is extremely rare, has a similar atmosphere.

Karen is back...

Karen has experienced so much, grown so much, and become more beautiful. Although she still doesn't like Eddie, she is different from before. She has become able to accept Eddie and can even smile at him.

As for Sheila and Jody…..
Karen also became much calmer and was able to talk and laugh.

Sheila was so happy about Karen's huge change that she almost cried.

Eddie was also really happy, realizing that Karen had really grown up... No matter what Karen was doing outside, Eddie believed that Karen did something right to have such a change.

In this way, Eddie was not disappointed.

After a long time, the Jackson family got along quite happily. ****************
Christmas Eve is over.

A new day, Christmas is coming.

2108 North Wallace Street, where Debbie lived, was dead.

At 2113 North Wallace Street, Kevin's home is quite harmonious. Kevin and Svetlana both prepared a Christmas gift for their son. They both got up early and welcomed the new year with joy.

At 2118 North Wallace Street, Ding Xiu's home, it was natural that there was joy. Pregnant Bianca was almost being worshipped. Bianca felt both amused and helpless about this.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Bianca’s family all likes Ding Xiu very much and believes that Bianca has found the right person.

The situation at 2120 North Wallace Street is a bit complicated. Not only is it dead silent... there is also a distinct smell of gunpowder.

the reason is simple.

Monica and Frank stayed here last night.

Fiona woke up around eight in the morning and checked her phone. There were no text messages or missed calls.

Haha, Sean, that bastard!
Fiona was pissed when she first woke up, and soon after, she realized that Frank and Monica were still there...and, of course, she was even pissed off.

If this is the case, it would be strange if the atmosphere was good.

Carl really doesn't care. The atmosphere doesn't matter what it is. Carl just does what he should do.

Time passes slowly.

In the morning, around ten o'clock.

Lip, who drank who knows how much beer last night, opened his eyes with a splitting headache. Then he struggled to sit up, took a look at the beer cans on the floor, and his headache got even worse. He fell down and lay down again. Then he reached for a cigarette, lit one, and started smoking.

As he smoked, he felt a little more energetic. He reached for his cell phone, checked the time, and thought again about whether he should go home.

About half an hour later.

Loneliness and solitude strike again madly.

Lip gritted his teeth and didn't want to stay here anymore. He got up, washed, changed into clean clothes, found Amanda's BMW key, put on the watch Amanda gave him, dressed himself up like a decent person, and went straight to the parking lot.

Not long after.

Lip got into Amanda's BMW and headed for the South Side of Chicago.

dong dong dong~~
In front of 2120 North Wallace Street, Lip lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Karl happened to be at the door, so he opened it.

When he opened the door and saw that it was Lip, Carl was stunned. After he finished, he came to his senses and called out in surprise, "Lip."

The words came out.

Fiona was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wanting to call Sean but angry at Sean's actions. She was startled and subconsciously wanted to get up.

But, on second thought...

Why do you want to get up?

Lip, that idiot, went to the University of Chicago and changed his cell phone number without telling anyone. If you don't want to have contact with them, then just don't contact them.

Fiona didn't move, her face was stern, and she continued to look at her phone.

"Carl," Lip, who had no problem with Carl, replied with a smile.

"Come in," Carl had no objection to Lip either. As for Lip changing his cell phone number, just change it. It was no big deal.

Lip walked in and went to the living room. He saw Fiona staring at her phone without any response and not even looking at him…
how to say.

Lip had expected this situation and was not surprised. Since he had decided to come back, he had to face what he had to face. He took the initiative to speak and greeted, "Fiona."

Hear the sound.

Fiona then raised her head slightly and looked at Lip, "Lip."

After responding, Fiona looked away and continued looking at her phone.

The two siblings were like strangers. (End of this chapter)
