Lan Guoer did not comment on this.
Guangcheng and Haishi are both cities with very good development momentum after the reform and opening up.
For Hua Yichen, he is blessed with unique advantages in Hai City, with very good resources and connections. Staying in Hai City to develop can be said to be smooth sailing, and will be much easier and smoother.
But at his age, it may not be a bad thing to go out and try some new things and gain more experience!
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the main hall.
Old Lady Lan and Tang's mother were sitting at the dining table, wondering what the "handsome uncle" that Xiaolie was talking about was. When they heard the noise, they poked their heads out and waited for someone to come in.
Meeting the two people's gaze, Hua Yichen changed his casual and cynical attitude in front of Lan Guoer, and instantly became a noble young man.
He walked with steady and dignified steps to the dining table, bent down and bowed deeply to the two of them!
"Junior Hua Yichen is here to pay his respects to Grandma Lan and Aunt Tang! I apologize for interrupting you two, and I hope you two elders will not blame me for being rude. Truly, upon hearing that Sister Guo'er and the others had returned, I was so anxious and overjoyed that I lost my manners!"
On the way, he learned from the Third Master that Lan Guoer's mother-in-law had also come to Hai City. Seeing the two of them sitting at the dining table and their ages being roughly the same, he was not worried about recognizing the wrong person.
Old Madam Lan was fine, but Tang's mother came from a poor peasant family for eight generations and had never received such a lavish gift. She was confused for a moment, blinking at him, and was a little at a loss.
Old Lady Lan seemed to have caught something from his words. She stretched her neck, squinted her eyes, and looked at the young man in front of her again, and asked:
"You just said, what's your name?"
Hua Yichen raised his head, with a warm smile in his eyes, and answered in a clear and crisp voice,
"Junior Hua Yichen! Father Hua Zhouhai, grandmother Zhou Yahui."
Old Madam Lan already had some guesses in her mind. When the name "Zhou Yahui" reached her ears, her body trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise and excitement that was difficult to conceal flashed in her eyes.
She sniffed, her eyes reddened, and waved to Hua Yichen.
"Good! Good boy! Come and sit here with Grandma Lan."
Hua Yichen raised the corner of his mouth and walked to sit beside Old Madam Lan without any hesitation.
"I've always heard grandma mention you before, and Yi Chen finally got to see you in person today! Grandma Lan is exactly as grandma described. It's true that even time can't defeat beauty! With your current temperament, there are probably not many people in the entire Hai City who can catch up with you! Not to mention back then! Yi Chen feels a little regretful that he didn't catch up with you at the right time!"
I have to say, Hua Yichen's mouth is as sweet as honey, he is really good at coaxing people!
"You have such a sweet mouth, kid! Who do you resemble?"
Old Lady Lan raised the corners of her lips, patted the back of his hand lovingly, and recalled,
"Your grandfather is such a conservative guy, always talking about scholars here and scholars there. In short, he can't say anything so cheering. As for your grandmother... she was quite clever back then, but she was a sharp-tongued person! Your father, Zhou Hai, probably inherited your grandfather's temperament. He has always spoken in a very strict manner since he was a child. It's not like he would say such words!
So... Zhou Hai married a sweet-talking wife, right?"
Hua Yichen: “…”
Thinking about how Gao Wenjing would pull his ears all the time and chatter incessantly, he felt that he was probably an outlier!
But this was only something he could think about in his mind. In front of Grandma Lan, he nodded obediently, neither admitting nor denying.
"My mom has heard grandma talk about you a lot, and she's been looking forward to meeting you! I just didn't have time to tell them before I came. With the personalities of my grandma and mom, if they knew you were back, I'm afraid they would wish they could grow wings and fly over here right away."
Hua Yichen had a delicate appearance, and there was a hint of playfulness in his words. Old Lady Lan was amused by him and smiled widely. She also became lively and wanted to tease him.
"Then let's not tell them yet. In a couple of days, we'll pull off a magic trick for her! Your grandmother was the best at this kind of terrifying trick. She made your grandfather die!"
Lan Guoer saw that the old lady had not seen her old friend yet, but saw that the old friend's grandson was in a good mood. She felt that it was the right decision to come back this time!
He interrupted, "Aunt Wenjing is urging you to find a partner again. What about Sister Yaoyao? Has your marriage been decided yet?"
Hua Yaoyao has a gentle temperament and exudes a unique aura of "being well-read and elegant" from the inside out. She also has the calmness and wisdom of a girl from a noble family. Lan Guoer finds it hard to imagine what kind of person can be worthy of her beauty.
Hua Yichen sighed, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"It's a long story! My sister's marriage was already arranged when she was 18 years old.
The other party is the youngest son of my father’s former leader.
A few years ago, the family of my father's old leader was labeled as the "stinking ninth class". Remembering the support he had shown them in the past, my father tried to find a way to bring his youngest son back to the city.
That beast was quite good at first, coming to our house from time to time to show his courtesy, and both my father and grandfather were fooled by him!
Later, seeing that my sister had a good impression of him, she did not object when that beast proposed to pursue my sister.
The two got engaged on Ajie's 18th birthday.
At that time, my parents felt that my sister was still young and didn't want her to get married so early. In order for that beast to have a good future, four years ago, my father found a way to apply for a place for him in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University program and sent him to Kyoto to study at university.
But who would have thought that after graduation, that bastard wrote to me without even consulting me and said that a company in Kyoto was willing to accept him, and he was willing to stay in Kyoto to work.
He also said that if I didn't want to go to Kyoto with him after marriage, I could choose to cancel the engagement.
Although my sister was very angry, she thought that he was also pursuing progress. Besides, Kyoto was the capital after all, so there was nothing wrong with staying there to develop. At worst, she could find a way to transfer to Kyoto after getting married.
But who would have thought that just a month ago, when my sister was out sketching, she unexpectedly saw him in the suburbs of Hai City.
What was most shocking was that he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and the two behaved intimately, talking and laughing as they entered a yard.
My sister fell seriously ill as soon as she came back. My mom and grandma saw that she was worried, so they asked her about it and found out what happened!
I was so angry that I took two brothers to beat him up and smashed his lair!
It was then that we learned that he had never gone to Kyoto to study in those years!
Instead, he had exchanged identities with someone else four years ago and sold the place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
That woman is already pregnant with his third child!"
Hua Yichen clenched his fists tightly, his teeth chattering, and his expression looked as if he wished he could smash it to pieces!
"It's such a waste of my sister's best years, wasted on such a beast!"
