Chapter 905 Parents meeting, no regrets
After Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue left, everyone in the Xie family gathered in the living room.
The old lady clicked her tongue twice: "My son has made great progress."
The old man nodded in agreement. Look how capable he is. It turns out he was just pretending to be stupid before.
Xie Yunzao: "Dad, Mom, you should be relieved now, right?"
"I think the little girl is very good. She looks well-behaved and generous. The most important thing is that Xiaojiu likes her."
"It's just that he's a little young, only twenty."
"What do you mean by young? She's already of legal marriageable age. Besides, is our Xiaojiu really that old?"
"Fourth sister, why are you nodding along?"
Xie Yunshu chuckled, "Why can't I just nod?"
"Don't you dislike Jiang Fuyue?"
"Don't talk nonsense! How could I have that?"
"You used to..."
"That was in the past. Don't bring it up again."
"Oh~ So you like Jiang Fuyue now?"
Xie Yunshu felt awkward for a moment: "It's okay..."
Several sisters covered their mouths and laughed.
"Huh? Where's my brother-in-law?"
"Ahem... so many brothers-in-law, which one are you talking about?"
"Brother-in-law, he's the only one not here."
Only then did Xie Yunzao react. Where is the person?
…
There is a huge glass greenhouse on the top floor of the old house.
It is filled with various flowers planted by the old lady to make incense, and even in the cold winter, they are still blooming beautifully.
Zhong Yunyi leaned leisurely on the railing, holding the phone in his hand.
"...I met him, and he just left. After today, even if their relationship is settled, are you really not panicking at all?"
Zhong Yunyi laughed at what was said on the other end. "As expected of you, you become more and more sophisticated as you get older. I'm just confused. With so many women in the world, why do you have a crush on this one?"
"I admit that she is good-looking and smart, but she is too far behind you in age..."
Moreover, isn’t this person always thinking about Mingyue, the deceased from the Lou family?
He had been guarding the place for more than 20 years, but he didn't even have a woman by his side. Although he was wealthy and powerful, he had made himself like an ascetic monk, staying away from the capital and drifting with the tide.
Just for a woman?
Is it worth it?
Zhong Yunyi disagreed, but did not dare to say anything.
Now it’s Jiang Fuyue again?
Oh……
He might be in conflict with the moon in this life.
"Uncle, if you really like her, hurry back from Duofu. Otherwise, when she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, you won't have any chance."
The other end remained indifferent and only said: "No need to reply, because she will come sooner or later."
Zhong Yunyi: “?”
…
After New Year’s Eve, the Lantern Festival comes in a blink of an eye.
Xie Dingyuan organized a party and invited the parents of both families to have a meal together.
Before that, he asked Jiang Fuyue for her opinion.
"No problem, it's up to you."
Xie Dingyuan was slightly stunned. So easy to talk to?
"Well...is this meal considered a formal meeting between the two families' parents?"
"Yeah." Jiang Fuyue took the iPad and turned to the next page.
Xie Dingyuan was still a little nervous and asked again and again: "Do you know what a parent-teacher meeting means?"
Jiang Fuyue gave him a funny look. "Didn't you say you made the decision? Why are you asking me? When did Professor Xie become so unconfident?"
"After meeting you."
Jiang Fuyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So I'm so powerful?"
The man actually nodded seriously.
“…”That’s outrageous.
"What did I do to you? How could I give you this illusion?"
Xie Dingyuan listed them to her one by one: "Before we were together, he would throw me over his shoulder, which always made me feel stuck in the middle; after we were together, he would forcefully kiss me, pounce on me, and flirt with me, which made me unable to stop."
"It seems you are still quite resentful? Okay, then I won't kiss you, pounce on you, or flirt with you anymore. Stay away from me now."
"Don't..." Xie Dingyuan grabbed her hand and rubbed it flatteringly. "I was just kidding."
"Really? But I'm not kidding."
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
Jiang Fuyue put down the iPad and stood up from the sofa.
"Where are you going?"
"In order to make you less resentful, I decided to go home tonight."
"Don't even think about it!" The man picked her up and strode towards the bedroom.
Some people are so principled at the beginning, and they refuse to take the bait again and again. Their self-control is amazing.
What about now?
At night, he was more active than anyone else. Okay, although Jiang Fuyue also enjoyed it, cough!
Xie Dingyuan: "Yueyue, you also care about me. You can't let me have a taste of sweetness and then kick me back to suffer, right?"
At that time, Jiang Fuyue's face flushed red, and she gasped softly: "You, hurry up!"
"good."
"It's not about being fast, it's about you finishing it quickly!"
Men are selectively deaf.
Another night of chaos and war.
…
The next day, after Jiang Fuyue returned home, she told Jiang Da, Han Yunru, the old man and her three uncles about the two families having dinner together.
"It's scheduled for the Lantern Festival. Do you want to go?"
She asked lightly.
But those who hear it feel inexplicably heavy.
Han Shen: "Does this mean arranging a meeting between the parents of both sides?"
Han Ke: "Heh, the Xie family kid is pretty quick."
Han Heng: "Why is the parents meeting? So are they going to talk about marriage next?"
Jiang Da didn't say anything, just stared at his wife.
Han Yunru glared at him amusedly: "Why are you looking at me?"
Jiang Da scratched his head: "I listen to you. If you say go, then go. If you don't want to go, then don't go."
The next second, Han Qishan also looked at her.
In the end, her three uncles let her make the decision.
"Little sister, we all listen to you."
"Uh-huh!"
Han Yunru thought for two seconds and made the decision on the spot: "Go!"
As the old saying goes, buy a pig and look at the pen.
If you want to understand what kind of person Xie Dingyuan is, you can tell a lot from his family.
Anyway, when two children are together, this day will come sooner or later.
Early is better than late.
…
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
Xie Dingyuan booked a private room in Changfu Palace.
On Jiang Fuyue's side, Grandpa Han, Jiang Da and his wife, three uncles, and the two younger ones, Jiang Chenxing and Han Ting, were all there.
Naturally, the old man and the old lady of the Xie family had to show up, and only Xie Yunzao's family came among the seven sisters.
If everyone comes, I’m afraid one private room won’t be able to accommodate them all.
In addition, my sisters also have their own families and in-laws, and it is not convenient for them to leave their families and go out on a reunion day like the Lantern Festival.
"Uncle, aunt, this way..." Xie Dingyuan invited everyone to take a seat.
After making the arrangements, I called Zhong Yunyi to go choose wine together.
"Okay, you're quick enough. You came on the second day of the New Year, and the two families' parents were sitting together on the fifteenth." Zhong Yunyi said with a teasing look.
But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I'm afraid my uncle really has no chance.
Xie Dingyuan: "Speed is the essence of war."
Zhong Yunyi: "You are still the best."
Xie Dingyuan frowned: "So is there anyone else?"
Well!
"No... could there be anyone? Don't be too nervous, though it seems unrealistic not to be nervous on such a big day as today."
Xie Dingyuan: Am I nervous?
Don't be nervous.
Zhong Yunyi secretly said that it was a close call, he almost let the cat out of the bag.
"A Yuan, what do you think of this bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon?"
"Mr. Han likes to drink white wine."
"White is good, then let's go to Moutai and have a look..."
…
Zhong Ziang got up late today. According to Xie Yunzao, it didn't matter whether he came or not, just don't rush him if he was late.
But Zhong Ziang insisted: "I want to come."
"Then drive safely."
"knew."
Xie Yunzao shook her head helplessly. She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand the young people of today.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, even though there was nothing to do, I asked him to come to the old house to meet his future aunt-in-law, but the brat refused to agree and stayed at home like a Shar-Pei dog.
And now you come here again today?
Han Qishan and Xie Zhendong sat at the top seats, next to Jiang Da.
Fu Wanxiu took the initiative to sit next to Han Yunru.
It was the first time the two sides met, so there was bound to be some awkwardness.
Especially since Xie Zhendong is obviously a good friend of Han Qishan, but because of the relationship between Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue, he and Jiang Da are of the same generation.
As a result, he was actually a head shorter than Han Qishan.
And the names are a bit confusing.
According to the relationship between the previous generation, Han Yunru should call Xie Zhendong uncle, and Jiang Fuyue should call him grandpa.
But now Han Yunru wants to change her words and call him Grandpa... Brother Xie?
Call the old lady...Sister Fu?
I felt really uncomfortable all over, like I was sitting on pins and needles.
Fortunately, the Xie family’s elder couple was very understanding and came out to smooth things over: “You might not be used to it at first, but you’ll get used to it after a while.”
Han Yunru and Jiang Da nodded, "That's right, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar..."
After a while, Xie Dingyuan and Zhong Yunyi came back.
I chose two bottles of fifty-year-old Moutai.
At this time, Zhong Ziang also arrived. It was obvious that he had rushed here. He was breathing heavily and his hair was a little messy due to the wind.
After greeting everyone, he sat down obediently next to Xie Yunzao.
Han Yunru suddenly exclaimed "Huh" and recognized at a glance that Zhong Ziang was a regular customer of Jiang Ji Pancake.
When they opened a shop in the back alley of No. 1 Middle School, Zhong Ziang often brought his friends and classmates to take care of the business. There would be dozens of people at a time, and he would sweetly call them "uncle" and "auntie" one by one, showing enthusiasm and cheerfulness.
At that time, Han Yunru thought the boy was very handsome. When she asked, she found out that he actually knew Yueyue and they seemed to have a good relationship.
"Aunt."
"You are Professor Xie's nephew? We are destined to be together."
Zhong Ziang nodded: "Yeah, it's quite predestined."
In fact, we could have been more lucky, but unfortunately, someone else snatched it away.
…
When everyone arrived, the dishes were served one after another.
The two families talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good for a while.
In the middle of the trip, Jiang Fuyue went to the bathroom.
When I came out, I met Zhong Ziang standing in the corridor smoking.
The young boy who was once carefree and unruly has become darker and grown up.
Every move he makes shows the maturity and stability of a man.
Three years of military life completely eliminated his dandy airs.
"Why did you come out?"
Zhong Ziang smiled at her, but only this smile still retained its original innocence, with a hint of silliness.
He said, "It's inconvenient to smoke with lesbians around."
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "It's better to smoke less normally."
"Yeah. We're not allowed to smoke in the army. We can only have two on leave."
"Then I'll go back to the private room first."
"Jiang Fuyue--" Zhong Ziang suddenly spoke.
She paused and turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Have you and my uncle decided yet?"
"I think so."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Zhong Ziang took a puff of cigarette, and the mist blurred his eyes and eyebrows: "Are you happy now?"
"Well, I'm very happy. Xie Dingyuan..." She paused and raised the corners of her mouth subconsciously, "He's very good."
Zhong Ziang coughed twice due to being choked, then he laughed: "That's good. You go back, I'll stay a while."
"good."
Jiang Fuyue left.
Zhong Ziang waited quietly for the cigarette to burn out, then crushed it and threw it into the trash can.
The result has been known for a long time, so it's time to feel relieved.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.
Are you unwilling?
Not really.
Rather than saying that he likes "Jiang Fu Yue", it is better to say that he likes the light that he once looked up to and desperately wanted to embrace in his arms during his youth.
That was what he most desired to be deep down in his heart—excellent, confident, independent, and dazzling.
And Jiang Fuyue became the kind of person he most wanted to be.
So he pursued her, yearned for her, and has never forgotten her to this day.
Fortunately, he is now gradually moving in that direction.
Maybe this is the power of "liking Jiang Fuyue".
So, he has no regrets.
I'm just a little jealous: how can my uncle, who is so fussy, rigid, unromantic and wooden, have light?
It really makes people...
Angry!
…
After the Lantern Festival, Mingda University welcomed the start of the new school year.
The Pei Ya class has started to choose majors.
As I said before, the Pei Ya class is a hodgepodge. You can learn a lot but you are not good at anything.
In the third year, the Academic Affairs Office will provide an opportunity to choose a major.
Of course, you can also continue to stay in the Pei Ya class.
Most people choose to stay. After all, a new major means new knowledge and a new environment. They are about to be in their third year, and even if they transfer, they may not be able to keep up with the progress.
In that case, why bother?
Wouldn’t it be nice to just lie down?
According to statistics, in Jiang Fuyue's previous Pei Ya classes, no student chose a new major or new direction.
Stay and graduate, and you will have accomplished your goal.
Although the situation is different this year, many students have become more motivated under the influence of a good atmosphere, but they are ordinary people after all and their abilities are limited. Even if they want to choose other majors, they will first consider whether they have the ability.
So, 80 percent of people gave up—
"I actually quite like mechanical automation, but if I transfer now, I'll have to start all over again. I thought about it for two days and decided not to. After graduation, I'll take over the family factory, so I can learn slowly. I'll just treat it as a hobby."
"Yes, getting your diploma and degree is the most important thing. The risk of failing and delaying graduation is too high. I don't recommend trying."
"I agree. Let's talk about it after graduation. Our Mingda is now a first-class university, and the diploma and degree certificate are very valuable."
Another 19 percent of people choose to change their majors, but not at the same level. Instead, they change and start from their freshman year and re-learn professional courses.
Most of these people switch to finance and economics.
The main reason I didn’t study it before was because the value of Mingda’s “Finance” degree was too low and it was useless. But now it’s different. A bachelor’s degree in finance from a first-class university is still very promising.
The remaining one percent, perhaps less than one percent, chose to transfer to a different field with a wide range of majors.
And this "one percent" is Jiang Fuyue.
