With both sides agreeing to hold the engagement ceremony in the country, Zhao Qinglan inevitably had to connect with Yi Ningxiang.
She also joked that Yi Ningxiang had said she wanted to go back to China to play, but she hadn't come yet, so this was a good opportunity for her to take a good look around.
Even if it's held domestically, it depends on where you are.
Provincial capital, Guangzhou, or somewhere else?
After considering both sides, Zhao Qinglan finally decided to hold the event in Beijing.
Most of the Zhou family members live in the capital, and they also have many relatives there. All she needs to do is go to the capital with her husband, Erwa, Sanwa, and others.
It's just an engagement, so it won't be a big event. Only relatives from both sides will attend, so it won't be a large-scale affair.
This must be a good place, so we started preparing for other things as well.
Yi Ningxiang took Xiao Duo to order clothes for their engagement.
As for Zhou Yunting, that son was just an afterthought.
Although it's just an engagement, Yi Ningxiang is taking it very seriously. She even had three sets of clothes made for Xiao Duo, so she can wear whichever one she wants.
The different styles of formal wear are all beautiful.
Once Xiaoduo's graduation and return-to-China date is confirmed, the engagement date will also be chosen.
The engagement was scheduled for two days after the third child's competition. The third child didn't need to go home after the competition in Beijing; he could just stay and attend his sister's engagement ceremony.
Zhao Qinglan had originally planned to go to the capital to support her son's competition, but now that she was busy with her daughter's engagement, she decided to go instead.
Once the engagement date was set, she began to inform her relatives.
My younger sister Qingju and my uncle, needless to say, are both in the capital, so they'll definitely be attending the engagement.
Mrs. Sun, who was in the port city, was particularly enthusiastic about her family's happy occasion and promised to attend, even arriving early.
Also present were Sun's mother, Grandpa Dou, and Zhao Qingzhu and the others. Zhao Qinglan planned to return to the provincial capital first, and then the main group would set off from the provincial capital together.
As for Xiaoduo, with custom-made clothes, accessories, and shoes, she finally felt like she was getting engaged.
She was anxious because she was worried about having to have a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend after returning to China.
She's no longer worried about the long-distance relationship between the two of them, as they'll hold their engagement ceremony back in China now.
She felt a little reluctant to leave M country soon.
During her years at the university, she got along well with her professors and made several close friends in her class.
And the house she lived in for almost three years is full of memories.
Zhao Qinglan had originally bought the house herself. Knowing that her daughter had some attachment to it, she didn't plan to sell it when her daughter returned to China. Instead, she simply gifted the house to her daughter as a present.
Although Zhou Yunting was willing to indulge his daughter in every way, Zhao Qinglan also knew that Yi Ningxiang, the mother, was still living in the United States. Even if Zhou Yunting spent a long time with his daughter in China in the future, he would still have to go back to the United States frequently.
In that case, it's good that my daughter still has a place to stay in the US.
Knowing that the house she had lived in would always belong to her, Xiaoduo was both happy and very grateful to her mother.
She is able to live such a happy life because of her mother's love and tolerance.
On the eve of graduation, Xiaoduo had a gathering with her mentor and classmates.
Knowing that she was going back to China to get engaged, everyone sent their blessings.
Some people even joked that they would look for her if they ever went to China.
Xiao Duo naturally agreed and welcomed it.
She had developed an attachment to the campus where she had spent several years, and she explored every corner of the school with her camera, using up many rolls of film in the process.
She's going back to China this time, and she doesn't know when she'll be able to come to the US again. She'll also be packing up and taking most of her clothes and other belongings from her room here.
You don't know until you tidy up, and then you're shocked by what you find.
She and several bodyguards packed out many boxes.
Anyway, they've used up all their existing suitcases, and they still have a lot of things to pack at home.
With no other option, and considering that the house was still hers, Xiaoduo picked out the clothes that could be stored and put them back in the closet.
After some addition and subtraction, she managed to reduce her luggage to a size that the few of them could carry back to China by hand.
As for her used car, there was no need to keep it, so she sold it on the market.
While Xiaoduo and her group were making various preparations for returning to China, Zhao Qinglan and her large group also arrived in Beijing.
She owns more than one property in Beijing.
In the past, when she came alone, she would stay in the house left behind by the private restaurant.
With so many people coming together, she had already asked the people in Lanxin, Beijing, to prepare her other houses in advance.
Knowing the value of courtyard houses, she owns two more in her property portfolio.
One of the houses is very large, with five courtyards in total. It's only in recent years that courtyard houses have been able to be traded, and she will buy it as long as a suitable one comes along.
In the future, courtyard houses in Beijing will be so rare that you won't be able to buy them even if you have the money.
The five-courtyard house had been home to many families before, and the renovation cost a lot of money, but fortunately the results were good.
They all moved in, and there are still many empty houses left.
Yi Ningxiang also returned before Xiao Duo and her son returned to China.
Zhao Qinglan met with her and they discussed the other details of the engagement.
With Yi Ningxiang's introduction, Zhao Qinglan finally met the rest of the Zhou family.
Knowing that Zhou Yunting was getting engaged to a fellow countrywoman studying in the US, many members of the Zhou family speculated about the woman's identity and waited to see what would happen.
Aside from Zhou's father and grandfather, there were probably very few people who were truly happy for Zhou Yunting.
However, Zhao Qinglan's appearance still shocked the rest of the Zhou family.
Zhao Qinglan didn't let her mother, sister, or others show up; she went alone with an assistant and bodyguard.
