Her husband wasn't much better.
For example, right now, she was feeling excited when Shen Yuan suddenly poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
"Don't get too excited yet. What about the second, third, and fourth brothers, and Yulong? Are you sure they'll have time?"
“Yu Long definitely has one. Her work is almost always tied to Yan Yan’s. If Yan Yan takes a long vacation, she will definitely take a long vacation too.”
"What about her adoptive father? What if she wants to go back and be with him during a long holiday? After all, he's getting old. And the second child, his schedule might already be set, not to mention the third child."
"You're so annoying!" Although Shen Yuan was telling the truth, Su Yang suddenly found him very annoying. "Then I'll call them all back for a family meeting tomorrow."
Shen Jingxiu: "I have a multinational online meeting tomorrow."
"Sigh," Su Yang sighed in disappointment upon hearing her eldest son's words, "We can't even get everyone together for a meeting now."
"Mom! Don't be so discouraged." Wen Yan immediately looked at Shen Jingxiu. "Big brother, how late will your meeting end? We can wait for you. Yulong and fourth brother should be able to come home to stay. Anyway, as long as you don't come back after 11 p.m., it's fine. Mom, you agree, right?"
Su Yang didn't speak, but her gaze towards Shen Jingxiu was full of expectation.
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "I should be able to be back before nine o'clock."
"Perfect!" Wen Yan said as she took out her phone. "Now I'll ask Yu Long and the others again."
“No need.” Su Yang immediately stopped Wen Yan. “I can’t let you worry about everything by yourself. Leave this to me. If everyone’s schedule is fine, I will make the rest of the plans. You just need to vote and choose the best option.”
That's great.
"By the way, Yan Yan, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
"Actually, I want to go everywhere. After all, the world is so big, and I want to see it all. But I haven't decided yet."
"Alright, leave it to me. You two go upstairs and rest first."
Without hesitation, Su Yang immediately took out her phone and started sending messages to everyone.
-
the next day.
Wen Yan got up, had breakfast with her family, and then slept until noon.
After having a quick lunch at home alone, she went to visit her biological father, Xu Jie.
To avoid awkward conversations, Wen Yan simply went into Xu Jie's plastic greenhouse and planted vegetables with him.
Wen Yan originally planned to have dinner with Xu Jie before going back, but Xu Jie was still not ready to take off his mask in front of Wen Yan.
Wen Yan didn't insist. She didn't want to delay Xu Jie's mealtime, so she drove away before five o'clock.
Ji Yuanzhou came out this afternoon to accompany his older brother to look at land.
As they chatted, Brother Ji noticed that he had drifted off into thought.
He looked in the direction Ji Yuanzhou was looking, but all he could see was the rear of a car.
"What's wrong? Did you see someone you know? You seem distracted when I talk to you. Do you know what I just said?"
Hearing his older brother's voice, Ji Yuanzhou finally came to his senses: "I guess so."
Brother Ji raised an eyebrow: "It's just an ordinary Mercedes. Which of your acquaintances would drive a car like that?"
"I might have misread it."
Even with just a fleeting glance, Ji Yuanzhou couldn't be certain that the person was Wen Yan.
Besides, what is Wen Yan doing in this deserted suburb?
The surrounding area consisted of abandoned factories and overgrown wastelands; I must have been mistaken.
"Yes, I've already spoken to the relevant departments. There shouldn't be any problem if we make the tender documents look good. This is the first big project you've taken over my job, so you must do it well and there can't be any mistakes, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to the board of directors."
"Don't worry, brother," Ji Yuanzhou said casually, but his eyes were full of confidence. "I will definitely deliver an excellent report card."
"If you say that, then I'm relieved. Also, don't forget about the cooperation with the Shen family. It's about time; you should head to the Shen Group."
"good."
"I heard that the Shen family's biological daughter has been found. You and Shen Jingxiu are close, so you must already know that. Have you met with him since you came back?"
Ji Yuanzhou nodded: "I've seen it, and I know about it."
“You’ve reached marriageable age. Although the Shen family’s daughter has been living away from home for years, she is still the Shen family’s only daughter. If you could marry into the Shen family, it would undoubtedly be a win-win situation for both of our families.”
"..." Ji Yuanzhou was both amused and exasperated. "Big brother, do you know, Mom and Dad never told me any of this."
"That's because you just returned to China. They don't want to put too much pressure on you. You can decide in a few days. I'm telling you in advance because I'm planning for you. The Shen family is the most suitable choice."
Ji Yuanzhou smiled. When the Shen family was mentioned, the first thing that came to his mind was Wen Yan, who held an umbrella for him on that rainy night, and her bright and cheerful face.
"Then why don't you say that the Shen family has two daughters?"
Brother Ji looked at Ji Yuanzhou in surprise: "You're not talking about that adopted daughter of the Shen family, are you? Yuanzhou, even if she has the surname Shen, she's still just an adopted daughter of the Shen family. You two are not a good match."
"Brother, you're overthinking it. I was just saying it casually."
"That's good. It's important to be well-matched in terms of social standing. Let's go, we're running late. You can't be late when discussing cooperation. I'll head back to the company now."
The two brothers got into two separate cars and then parted ways at an intersection after entering the city center.
