Chapter 205 The Battlefield of the Old Men
Ye Ran whispered a few words to Lu Yi, and after listening, Lu Yi's eyes lit up.
A smile appeared on Ye Ran's lips. Now it all depended on whether Aunt Zhang Mi would agree...
Zhang Mi greeted Lu Tian and Yan Ning. When they learned that Zhang Mi was actually Zhang Qing's daughter, both of them were somewhat moved.
"So you're Brother Zhang's daughter. How is Brother Zhang? It's been many years since we last saw him."
Back then, we became friends with Bai Yi, which led to us also having a lot of contact with Brother Zhang. At that time, Brother Zhang delivered a lot of supplies to us!
"So many years have passed!" Lu Tian said with emotion.
Zhang Mi smiled generously and naturally, "My dad's health is pretty good, better than in previous years. He was very happy to hear about your story!"
We originally planned to come together today, but unfortunately my mom isn't used to Beijing's climate and isn't feeling well, so my dad will have to come another time.
"Oh, I see. Then we'll go see him another day!" Yan Ning said with a smile.
After a few more words, Ye Ran couldn't help but look at Zheng Fei, who was chatting with Su Ji. Ye Ran quietly moved closer and asked him, "What brings you all here today?"
Zheng Fei smiled at her, "It's been two days since we last saw each other, and I've been missing you all. My mom also wanted to visit you, so we came together."
Ye Ran thought to herself, "What do you mean you miss us? With that attitude, does it seem like you're really thinking about us?! You know perfectly well who you're really thinking about..."
Looking at her, Zheng Fei narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hey girl, what are you up to... are you plotting something?"
"I wasn't thinking of anything funny! How could you think of me like that? I just have something I want to tell you..." Ye Ran said with an embarrassed smile.
Just as the two of them were exchanging witty remarks, a burst of laughter came from Zhang Mi's side. The two looked up and saw Lu Tian asking Zhang Mi, "So you've come to Beijing to take up your posts?"
"Excellent, the younger generation is truly formidable! Who is your husband? It seems like only a few people were transferred to Beijing this year. Let me see which talented young man is my niece's husband!"
Zhang Mi was overjoyed to hear this, since their visit today was not simply for the purpose of visiting elders.
Her husband was transferred to Beijing for the first time, where interpersonal relationships were complicated, and anyone they randomly encountered might have a higher official rank than them.
Offending someone could easily mean offending someone's nephew or niece. In a place where you know no one, anyone would want to find someone to rely on.
Originally, after hearing about the Lu family's situation, they came with only a sliver of hope, but now Lu Tian's words about being a nephew-in-law have given them hope.
Zhang Mi quickly introduced her husband, "My husband's name is Zheng Lin. He's a real chatterbox, he doesn't like to talk, he just likes to get things done."
“That’s great! A man should do more and talk less. Talking too much is useless! I’ve heard of Zheng Lin. He’s a good man when it comes to getting things done.” Lu Tian laughed heartily.
"You're right, a man who talks too much is just a blockhead. My dear niece, bring your man with you next time!"
"We'll have a good drink with him then!" Yan Ning said, glancing meaningfully at Lu Tian.
