In the early years, when Tang Yan had just started working and had not yet been promoted to the position of bank president, and when he did not have so many social engagements, he would occasionally attend gatherings between the two families. At that time, Wei Meiyu was still in college.
But later, as his position was promoted, he had more and more social engagements, and Wei Meiyu became busier and busier with her studies. The adults of the two families often ate together, but rarely saw the two of them when reminiscing about the past.
Later, Wei Meiyu graduated from university. It was thought that she would stay in the city where her parents lived, but unexpectedly, Wei Meiyu came to City A and was directly promoted to his assistant. Tang Yan's parents had also explicitly and implicitly reminded their son to take good care of Wei Meiyu.
After all, she is the daughter of his good friend and works under his son, so he can take care of her to some extent. He didn't expect that Wei Meiyu's parents would come today, and he also happened to run into a gathering of the two families. It was really a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Tang Yan thought quickly and realized that he had no work arrangements or social engagements today.
Since Wei Meiyu came to the airport to pick him up in person, then they could get together. After all, she was his father's friend, and as a son, he should give her this face. So, he said to Wei Meiyu with a smile.
"Since our Xiaoyu came to pick me up in person, it would be wrong of me not to attend the gathering between the two families."
On weekdays, the two of them are in a superior-subordinate relationship. Tang Yan speaks in a casual manner and basically does not have any airs of a leader.
Seeing that Tang Yan agreed to attend the family gathering of the two families, Wei Meiyu showed a happy smile on her face and made a gesture of invitation in the direction of her car.
"In that case, President Tang, let's go."
"Um!"
Tang Yan nodded, and the two of them got into the car one after the other and drove away.
Wei Meiyu stopped the car in front of an antique restaurant in the most prosperous area of the city center.
Tang Yan got out of the car and waited for Wei Meiyu to park the car in the parking lot. The two of them strode towards the reserved private room. At this moment, in the restaurant private room, Wei Meiyu's father Wei Chuxiong and mother Wang Qionghua, as well as Tang Yan's father Tang Qihuai and mother Zhou Dan, were sitting at the dinner table chatting and laughing. Hearing footsteps outside the box, Tang Qihuai stood up, opened the door of the box, and said softly.
"Look, the young talents of our two families have finally arrived. It seems we can now order the waiters to serve the food."
As they were talking, Tang Yan and Wei Meiyu walked in and greeted everyone present with a smile.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt, sorry to have kept you waiting!"
The four old men looked lovingly at the handsome man and beautiful woman who walked in, pulled the stool beside them and greeted them.
"Now that you're finally here, there's no need to be so polite. Sit down. We'll be waiting for you to start eating."
As they were talking, Tang Yan and Wei Meiyu each walked towards their parents, sat down obediently, and waited for dinner to be served.
Wei Meiyu's mother, Li Qionghua, glanced at the handsome Tang Yan opposite her, then looked at her daughter who looked like a bud about to bloom, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled.
"Time flies so fast. Tang Yan has grown up in the blink of an eye, and my daughter has been working for almost two years. We are all getting old. From now on, the world will be ruled by young people."
Tang Yan's mother, Zhou Dan, was listening at the side. She looked at the two young men with emotion and also sighed.
"Yeah, time flies. Years ago, these two young people were just little brats, playing around in the private room all day long after dinner. I didn't expect that they have grown up now."
Tang Yan listened to the two mothers' sighs and sat aside, not intending to interrupt. After all, it was not easy for a boy like him to join in the conversation of the mothers. Instead, Wei Meiyu on the side smiled and joked.
"No way! Although time flies, it's gentle to my aunt and my mother. It hasn't left any traces on your faces. You two look even younger!"
After all, what women least want to hear is that time is passing and their looks are fading, so men love to say sweet words because women like to hear them.
Wei Meiyu's words undoubtedly touched the hearts of the two mothers. As women, no one wants to admit that they are getting old while others are still working so hard and young.
Sure enough, when Li Qionghua and Zhou Dan heard Wei Meiyu's words, the sentimental expressions on their faces disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by a gentle smile. They all looked at Wei Meiyu, and Zhou Dan praised her without hesitation.
"Raising a daughter is still caring. Everything she says is so pleasant to the ear."
Having said that, Zhou Dan glanced at her son vaguely, and saw that Tang Yan sat up straighter with a helpless expression on his face.
Li Qionghua on the side quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Sister, please stop teasing me. Having a daughter has its advantages, and having a son has its advantages. As long as our children grow up smoothly and have their own lives and jobs, we don't have to worry so much. Look, as long as we get together more often, your son and our daughter will be almost a family. Why should we care who raises the son and who raises the daughter? They are all equally good."
At first glance, these words don't seem to have any connection, but when you think about them carefully, you can feel that there is a bit of thought in choosing a son-in-law and selecting a daughter-in-law. The two mothers smiled knowingly, and Tang Yan was confused when he heard it, and Wei Meiyu lowered her head shyly.
Tang Yan's father, Tang Qihuai, also smiled at this time.
"Yes, don't be so sentimental. Our children have their own paths to follow. We just need to live our own lives. As for whether we can become a family, that depends on the children's wishes."
Tang Qihuai was neutral about the two families bringing their children to visit each other and wanting to form in-laws. He neither opposed nor agreed. But as a father, he understood and supported his son's decision, so he made the purpose of today's gathering clear.
You can't just have a meal and go through the blind date process without letting your son know. You have to give him the right to make his own choice.
Tang Qihuai's words undoubtedly revealed the truth about the two families' dinner today. Tang Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at his parents with an expression of disbelief.
He seemed to understand that the purpose of today's meal was not simple. Even if he was stupid, he could hear that this was a blind date dinner, and the parents of the two families brought their children to meet each other. He couldn't help but think with a sense of luck.
"Mom and Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? It's just an ordinary dinner, don't make such nonsense."
He hadn't even planned to get married yet, so why did his parents arrange a blind date? Besides, Wei Meiyu was his subordinate, and he had no romantic feelings for her.
