Chapter 235 Thoughtful
Jiang Zhizhi didn't really want to have a wedding; she just thought it was too much trouble, and besides, she was really pressed for time and had a lot of tasks to complete right now.
Zhou Xiye knew that Fang Hua was holding back his anger and that this wedding was a must.
After thinking it over, he still advised Fang Hua: "There's no need to fight this battle. We're the ones living our own lives. Besides, if you really want to do it, can you wait a bit?"
Fang Hua was flipping through the calendar, looking for auspicious days before the new year. Hearing his son's question, he asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Zhou Xiye explained simply: "We really haven't had time lately, and everyone was very busy before the New Year."
Fang Hua still didn't understand: "You all go about your business, I'll take care of the preparations. We'll set a date later and have a meal at the hospital canteen. It won't take up too much of everyone's time."
Zhou Xiye patiently explained, "Mom, listen to me, we will definitely handle this, but let us decide the timing, okay?"
Fang Hua couldn't persuade his son, so he frowned and said, "Alright then, hurry up and confirm the time. Don't drag it out too long. I've already told Song Wanying what I wanted to say, so don't embarrass me later."
Zhou Xiye assured her, "No, Mom, I'll definitely make you satisfied."
Fang Hua grumbled as she got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Jiang Zhizhi, who hadn't spoken until now, curiously sat down next to Zhou Xiye: "What did you mean just now? Actually, we didn't need to do it. I also think it's a waste of time."
Zhou Xiye moved closer to her and said in a voice that they could both hear, "I think your biological parents definitely want to see you get married. Let's wait and find a suitable opportunity when you can recognize each other before having the wedding."
Jiang Zhizhi hadn't really considered this. She was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Zhou Xiye, her eyes sparkling, and murmured softly, "Zhou Xiye, you're so good to me, you think of everything so thoroughly. What will I do without you in the future?"
Zhou Xiye reached out and ruffled her hair: "You're already amazing. You'll be just as outstanding even without me."
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly burst out laughing: "What nonsense are we talking about here, as if we're about to separate! I'm going to help Mom cook!"
She was truly moved. She wasn't a very smart person, and her interpersonal relationships had always been arbitrary. She had been missing things along her path of growth, but at this moment, it felt like everything was complete again.
...
On the way back, Jiang Zhenhua couldn't help but say a few words to Song Wanying: "When I came here, I told you that we can't talk about Zhizhi's matter without knowing the details."
Song Wanying frowned: "I just wanted to remind Sister-in-law Fang Hua that Zhizhi's grades weren't very good before, so how come she's suddenly so good? If these grades are real, then of course I'm happy. If they're fake, then both our families will be embarrassed."
Jiang Zhenhua took a breath and tried to keep his tone calm: "Did Xiaoyue say that?"
Song Wanying thought for a moment and shook her head: "Xiaoyue didn't say anything, she just mentioned that Zhizhi got tenth place last time, which is amazing. I just came up with it myself."
Jiang Zhenhua was silent for a moment, then asked Song Wanying, "Do you think Xiaoyue's amnesia is real?"
Song Wanying asked doubtfully, "How could it be fake? I think she has changed a lot. You always say that we should give young people a chance to correct their mistakes. We can't find our biological daughter now, and Zhizhi also has opinions about us."
"If we send Xiaoyue away too, we'll have no children left."
“I know Xiaoyue has many flaws, but she is still an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. How bad can she be? Even if her amnesia is fake, as long as she stays obediently by our side, I am willing to turn a blind eye.”
Jiang Zhenhua, however, thought differently. He finally sighed and said, "You should be careful if you let her stay by your side, lest she cause any trouble later."
Song Wanying didn't say anything. After hearing her husband's words, she had her own doubts, but she also hoped that Sun Xiaoyue could do better and prove everyone wrong.
When the two arrived at the sanatorium, Sun Xiaoyue, wearing a thick cotton coat and a scarf, stood at the door as if she was about to leave.
Seeing Song Wanying and Jiang Zhenhua get out of the car, Sun Xiaoyue quickly went over to support Song Wanying's arm: "Mom and Dad, where did you go? I came home from school and you weren't home. I was so worried. I was even going to look for you."
His eyes were full of concern and worry.
Song Wanying smiled and said, "It's nothing. We just visited the Zhou family."
Sun Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then realized that they had gone to Zhou Xiye's house. She had some thoughts in her mind: "Mom and Dad, why didn't you take me with you? I want to go and see her too, and also see Zhizhi. She doesn't pay much attention to me at school."
Jiang Zhenhua turned around and gave Sun Xiaoyue a deep look: "I deliberately didn't take you with me. You and Zhizhi didn't get along well before. Even though you don't remember, she does. There's no need to force you to be together."
"Also, don't go around Zhizhi at school. Just focus on your studies. She's married to Zhou Xiye now, so she's considered part of the Zhou family. Fang Hua is known for being fiercely protective of his own, so don't get yourself into trouble."
Sun Xiaoyue pursed her lips and remained silent. Although Jiang Zhenhua spoke politely, it sounded like he was warning her.
This made her feel that more and more people in Beijing were protecting Jiang Zhizhi.
...
During dinner, Fang Hua described Zhou Xiaochuan's condition today: "He's much better. The bumps on his hands seem to have lessened during the day, and he's not in as much pain. He also doesn't have an upset stomach anymore. I'll bring him his medicine again in a bit."
Speaking of this, he added to Zhou Xiye, "When you get back, thank this doctor properly, and take some rice and flour from home to send over."
She's a smart woman. If the doctor doesn't want to show up, there must be some bad reason. In this day and age, there are only a few possibilities.
Life must be tough these days. They won't accept expensive gifts, so it's better to send some rice and flour instead.
Jiang Zhizhi thought about the black noodles Jin Huaiying ate and quickly nodded: "Mom is right, sending rice and flour is very good."
Fang Hua was surprised: "You know that doctor too?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "I went with Zhou Xiye and Brother Song to see that doctor once."
Fang Hua didn't ask any further questions. She knew that her son would definitely tell his wife what he wouldn't tell her.
...
Jiang Zhizhi thought that Fang Hua's comment about reporting Sun Xiaoyue was just a casual remark.
The following afternoon, a diagnostic test was suddenly administered.
She had originally planned to ask for leave in the afternoon, since Zhou Xiye would be going to school tomorrow and the two of them wouldn't see each other for a while.
However, if a diagnostic test is required, then I cannot take leave.
To ensure fairness and impartiality in the exams, students from one class were divided into three classrooms for the exams, with one student per desk and two proctors.
Jiang Zhizhi saw Sun Xiaoyue's face turn white, then red, then purple, like a blooming garden, quite a sight!
