Zhang Hongmei and the others had finished eating, but Liu Qiang was still in a hurry, so Zhang Hongmei wanted to leave.

Wang Ying put down her chopsticks. "Hongmei, I'll go tell Liang Dan."

"Okay, go ahead. We'll be leaving soon. Liu Qiang can't sit still anymore; his brothers at home are too tempting."

Wang Ying came out and found out that Liu Jingzhang and Liang Dan were in the side room. She went in to find them and overheard Han Yushan's words. She frowned and watched from the side.

When the two came out, Liu Jingze glanced at them and saw Wang Ying. The two nodded to each other.

Wang Ying whispered to the two of them, and at that moment, their group also came out.

"Liu Jingzhang, Liang Dan, we're going back now. Tomorrow, we'll go directly to Fuzeyuan for our homecoming visit."

"Okay, Hongmei, you should go back and rest."

"Madam, please take care."

Liu Jingze came out at this moment and walked to Zhang Hongmei's side, saying, "Let's go back together."

"Hmm, you've finished eating?"

"Yes, let's go back to Fuzeyuan."

"Let's go back to the compound. The children are all there, and Liu Qiang is very worried."

"Uncle."

"Okay, let's go back."

"Zhang Hongmei?"

"Senior Shan?"

"Do you have some time this afternoon? Let's chat. It's been so many years since we last met."

"Okay, are you coming with us, or what?"

Let's go together.

“Jingze, you two go back to Fuzeyuan first, I’ll go take the kids.”

When the people in the side room saw that Liu Jingze and Shan Mianzhi had come out, some were curious and some were preparing to leave, so almost everyone came out.

Everyone who saw Zhang Hongmei outside recognized her, because her appearance was truly unforgettable.

Zhang Hongmei just smiled and took Liu Qiang's hand as they went out.

Shan Mianzhi and Liu Jingze followed behind and left.

"Don't rush off, I still have a few tables to go. How about we have a few more drinks after we finish toasting?"

"Today is your special day, we won't bother you any longer. Let's get together again sometime." A few more people left.

Liu Jingzhang and Liang Dan then began offering toasts.

Liu Jingze and Shan Mianzhi got into the car, and the bodyguard drove them directly to Fuzeyuan.

"Jingze, is it worth it?"

"worth."

The two didn't exchange another word after that. Upon entering Fuzeyuan, Aunt Yang brewed tea for them and brought it up.

"Jingze, are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?"

"Yes, that's fine too."

"Jingze, you're getting colder and colder."

Liu Jingze laughed, "Mianzhi, I've always been this kind of person, it's just that I was more naive back then."

"Mianzhi, why are you still single? Do your family agree?"

“There’s no suitable one. My grandfather’s health is getting worse and worse, and he doesn’t have the energy to take care of me anymore. Others are even less suitable.”

I was hoping for a few more years of freedom! We work in the same company, how come we never see each other?

"Hehe, I'll see you more often in the future, so I won't go out."

"I heard you're getting a promotion soon?"

"Really? Nobody told me, so I really don't know."

"Your promotion is just a matter of time. With so many achievements, I think you could jump three ranks."

Liu Jingze smiled and shook his head, "It won't be that fast."

"Jingze, do you still remember Zheng Wenhui?"

"I remember, we used to learn chess together when we were little. Didn't she marry into your family?"

"Yes, she married my second uncle's cousin, but they divorced a few days ago."

"Is that so? My master thinks he can just let this go?"

"Well, Old Zheng had no choice. My cousin already has two illegitimate children. Zheng Wenhui divorced him and left with her daughter."

"Yes, my master misjudged him after all."

"That's not entirely true. It was Zheng Wenhui who took the initiative in the first place."

Liu Jingze smiled. His master didn't even recognize him because he wouldn't marry Zheng Wenhui. Oh well, he'd better pretend he didn't know. Otherwise, he'd be helpless if Zheng Wenhui started bothering him later. The innocent little girl he once was was gone.

"Jingze, aren't you going to look at them?"

Liu Jingze shook his head, "No, I don't want to bother. I'll give my master a living allowance every month from now on, and we won't need to meet anymore."

Shan Mianzhi laughed, "You really are cold-hearted."

"Yes, that's exactly who I am."

Aunt Yang then brought out apples from the kitchen.

"Jingze, would you like some pear soup?"

"Aunt Yang, I don't want it anymore. Hongmei will be here soon, so please keep it warm for her. Stew a bowl of bird's nest for her and save it for her."

"Okay, I'll go prepare it right away."

Shan Mianzhi clicked his tongue in amazement, "Jingze, is this also your home?"

Liu Jingze shook his head. "Where is my home?" He wished it were his own home.

The two started discussing work-related matters, otherwise there really wasn't much to say.

Zhang Hongmei took Liu Qiang back, and Lu Jing and Gan Lu accompanied her to Fuzeyuan.

"Senior Shan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's okay, Jingze is with me."

Aunt Yang brought over the bird's nest.

"I don't want to eat."

"Hongmei, you must not have eaten much at noon. You should eat something, otherwise you'll be hungry later."

"I'd rather eat rice," Zhang Hongmei said, but she still ate the bird's nest soup.

"I really don't like this."

"It's nutritious." Liu Jingze was also quite helpless.

"What nutrition? It's all swallow saliva." Zhang Hongmei gagged twice after saying that. "I'll never eat it again."

"Okay, if you don't want to eat, then don't. There's pear soup, have some."

Zhang Hongmei, holding a bowl of pear soup, asked, "Senior Shan, what brings you here?"

"It's nothing, it's just that we haven't seen each other for several years. I had the chance to chat with you today."

"Yes, we haven't seen each other for several years. I only saw each other when I came back, right? I don't go out much, so it's really hard to meet."

"I heard you had quadruplets, that's amazing, I'll definitely meet you sometime."

"Hehe, I don't see them anymore, they're very busy with their studies."

"Is that so? They're still young, aren't they?"

"There's no way. Senior Shan, you don't have children yet?"

"Haha, I'm not even married yet, where would I have kids?"

"Hehe, I really didn't know, I'm sorry."

"It's alright, it's nothing."

"That's because Senior Shan's requirements are too high."

"What are the conditions? It's just that I haven't met the right person yet."

Zhang Hongmei laughed. This guy really just hasn't met the right one yet. Girls with better qualities than him are all taken, and he doesn't even look at those who aren't as good as him.

"Just let me know when Senior Shan gets married, and even if I'm not as good as him, I'll definitely give him a gift."

"No need for a gift, it would be great if you could come in person."

"I really can't decide that. We'll see when the time comes. If I can go, I definitely will."

"Hehe, good, looks like I need to hurry up and find a wife."

After saying that, all three of them laughed. Regardless of what they were thinking, they maintained a cheerful demeanor on the surface.
