Chapter 92: The Second Year of Junior High Gains Ms. Ji's Approval
Zhuang Fuyao nodded, then shook her head. "Hasn't Jiang City already banned fireworks?"
Liang Huaixu didn't answer, but drove her somewhere.
They went to the building next to the adjacent pavilion, which was the best viewing spot. It was then that Zhuang Fuyao discovered that the Changting Group's building had a naked-eye 3D screen installed on it.
At the busiest time of midnight, the screen was always black. But the moment they arrived, fireworks lit up the screen.
At the time, Zhuang Fuyao only thought it was romantic and realistic. Later, she saw the insider's revelation online and realized that it was recorded on site. While she was watching the naked-eye 3D fireworks in Jiang City, Liang Huaixu sent people to set off a million-dollar fireworks display in Gangcheng.
All of this is so that she can have the best possible experience.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuang Fuyao saw this news and went to ask Liang Huaixu if it was true.
Liang Huaixu was writing something in his study at the moment, wearing his silver half-rimmed glasses that he only wore when working.
Zhuang Fuyao thought to herself, "The couplets were written a long time ago. Two days before the New Year, Liang Huaixu worked overtime to write many couplets. He has excellent calligraphy skills, and his brushstrokes flow smoothly. They are pasted on various doors in the house, which is very pleasing to the eye."
He was so engrossed in writing that he didn't even notice her walk to his side.
She glanced at it and asked, "What does 'not seeing what one desires keeps the mind from being disturbed' mean?"
Liang Huaixu was startled by her; his brush slipped, and the Xuan paper was smeared.
A hint of unease flashed in his eyes. "It's nothing, just something to pass the time."
These past few days have been Chinese New Year, and they've just finished dealing with Yu Heng's unpleasant experiences, so their relationship is currently at its most blissful.
Especially last night, Zhuang Fuyao tried a few new things with him...
He got hooked and stayed up very late, accidentally exceeding the weekly limit.
He woke up the next day feeling that he had overindulged in sex.
After breakfast, I stayed in the study and punished myself by copying books.
Zhuang Fuyao sat on his lap and said, "I just saw online that the fireworks last night were recorded live, and that you spent millions to send people to Hong Kong to set them off... Is that true?"
Liang Huaixu silently brushed aside the Xuan paper on his table and nodded in acknowledgment.
Zhuang Fuyao raised an eyebrow. "Joke, Professor Liang, you're so extravagant."
Although she comes from a well-off family, compared to the wealthy, her family is at most considered middle class.
Sixteen years ago, although Liang Huaixu was already the heir designated by the Liang family, he did not spend money extravagantly and could even be described as frugal.
Even now, compared to other wealthy and powerful people of the same social class, his life is relatively simple in every aspect.
This is the kind of person who secretly buys many pieces of jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars, telling her they are just cheap items bought for tens of thousands of dollars.
He even casually set off a fireworks display worth millions in Hong Kong just so she could watch the fireworks.
Professor Liang is just wasting money playing house with her.
...
But Liang Huaixu didn't think it was extravagant, saying, "I just feel that you should have what you had sixteen years ago."
Touched by these unintentional words of love, Zhuang Fuyao felt her heart pounding faster. The atmosphere was just right, so she reached out and helped him take off his glasses, then gently kissed him.
Two minutes later, Liang Huaixu stepped back slightly, his eyes filled with restrained desire, and said in a hoarse voice, "Fufu, this week has already—"
Zhuang Fuyao didn't like hearing this, so she sealed his lips with her fingertip. "I know, let's not do anything else, just kiss."
A moment later, she pressed her advantage, saying, "Just a little rub, I promise I won't do anything else."
"…………"
Liang Huaixu closed his eyes. At the moment his ideals collapsed, he was calculating how many more copies of the Tao Te Ching he would have to make after this.
-
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liang Chaoluo set off for his hometown of Shurun.
Zhuang Fuyao also returned to her own home, and to her surprise, her grandmother was there too.
In previous years, everyone celebrated the New Year separately, but this year Ms. Ji was actually sitting on the sofa with her grandmother, watching TV in a very harmonious way.
Grandma Zhuang looked expectantly behind her granddaughter until the door closed, then she said disappointedly, "Why didn't Xiao Liang come over?"
Zhuang Fuyao paused for a moment, then looked in Ms. Ji's direction.
Ji Lan snorted lightly, "Why are you looking at me? Your grandma is asking you a question."
Zhuang Fuyao realized what was happening and exclaimed excitedly, "He's on his way!"
She quickly sent a message to Liang Huaixu.
Upon receiving the message, Liang Huaixu's heart skipped a beat, a long-lost mix of nervousness and excitement.
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and had everything he needed in the trunk, so he didn't need to prepare anything else and could just go directly there.
After taking a deep breath, Liang Huaixu rang the doorbell again.
This "meeting the parents" went very smoothly.
Zhuang Shaoping and his wife were especially enthusiastic, and although Ji Lan was somewhat reserved and didn't show her emotions, she tacitly agreed.
After Liang Huaixu left, Ji Lan dropped her feigned seriousness and glanced at her daughter.
Don't think she didn't realize that her daughter probably hadn't planned for Liang Huaixu to come today. But since she agreed to let her daughter spend the New Year at the Liang family home, it meant she had already tacitly approved of their relationship.
If the old lady hadn't reminded her, the daughter wouldn't have realized what was happening. I don't know where her usual cleverness went.
Sensing her family's satisfaction, Zhuang Fuyao said with a grin, "Then when can we get our marriage certificate, and that household registration booklet..."
Ji Lan said irritably, "Let's talk about it later. We'll deal with your matter after Chao Luo and Shu Run's affairs are settled."
Zhuang Fuyao pouted.
-
By the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shu Run couldn't stay in her hometown any longer, so she found an excuse to take Liang Chaoluo back to Jiang City ahead of schedule.
Just two days ago, Butler Cao, following his wife's request, cleaned and disinfected the long-abandoned swimming pool.
Upon receiving news that Bagel had returned to Jiang City, Zhuang Fuyao immediately invited him over to visit.
After swimming a few laps with Bagel, Zhuang Fuyao leaned against the shore and drank water contentedly. "If Qingbao were here, it would be even more perfect."
Shu Run had a sudden inspiration, "Let's video chat with her."
Meanwhile, Song Qing was feeding geese in the yard of her old home when she received the video and exaggeratedly ran into the house.
Shu Run laughed at her, "Why are you running away? We wanted to say hello to the geese you've been lovingly feeding these past few days."
These past few days, Song Qing has been sharing her daily routine of feeding geese in the group chat.
Song Qing pretended to take out two tissues and wiped her nose. "There are two beautiful women in Kaiping. I'm going back to my room to wipe my nosebleed."
"..."
Zhuang Fuyao chuckled. She didn't know why, but when she first met Song Qing, she felt that she was a very cool and individualistic girl.
After getting to know her better, I discovered that she was essentially a complete comedian, often engaging in abstract behavior in front of her and Bagel.
She and Bagel were deeply influenced by each other, and she could be considered half a comedian herself.
Although Song Qing's hometown is in a southern province, she was wearing a big floral-patterned jacket from Northeast China, sitting by the fire and eating sunflower seeds. "Where did you two go to make your fortune during the Spring Festival?"
Shu Run blinked. "At Sister Fuyao's house."
Whenever Sister Fuyao flaunts her wealth, Song Qing would jokingly say, "Rich woman, I'm hungry, I need some food!"
The three of them joked around for a while, and then Aunt Yuan came over to deliver fruit and desserts, and casually mentioned that guests had come to visit.
Although Zhuang Fuyao wasn't at Boya Bay a few days ago, she knew that many people came to Boya Bay to pay New Year's visits during the first few days of the Lunar New Year, including senior executives from Changting, subordinates of Liang Huaixu, and business partners. She assumed it would be the same this time, so she asked Aunt Yuan to pass on the invitation, "If there are any younger female relatives, ask them if they would like to come swimming."
"Yes, ma'am."
Ten minutes later, Aunt Yuan brought the person over. Zhuang Fuyao was competing with Bagel and hadn't noticed what was happening here.
Yi Han took the swimsuit from the aunt and asked, "Who's that next to Aunt Fu?"
Aunt Yuan said with a smile, "She's Young Master Chaoluo's...girlfriend."
She actually hesitated between her girlfriend and her fiancée.
Considering that the other party has already visited the house, and the husband and wife approve of the relationship, and now they've even brought someone swimming at home, it's basically a done deal.
Beside him, Yi Han's expression changed.
She had seen Aunt Fu stand up for Shu Run at the last banquet, and she had some vague guesses in her mind.
But she wasn't sure, and she wondered if Aunt Fu was only helping out to save face for Liang Chaoluo.
Until now, I have witnessed their intimacy firsthand.
A subtle pang of sadness welled up inside her, and she asked, "Does she come here often?"
Aunt Yuan had met Yi Han before and knew that her family and the Liang family were old friends, so she said directly, "This is the second time you've come."
Yi Han was just happy for a moment when she heard Aunt Yuan say, "The last time you came was a few days ago on New Year's Eve."
Her smile froze, and after a few seconds she said, "Liang Chaoluo was always that kind of arrogant and cool personality when he was little. All of us who were close friends were guessing what kind of person he would date in the future..."
I never imagined he'd be the first in our group to get married... Uncle Liang and Aunt Fu must be very happy."
"Of course I like it." Aunt Yuan had received generous red envelopes from her husband and wife these past few days, and she was in high spirits with a beaming smile on her face. She chatted with Yi Han about the welcoming ceremony on New Year's Eve, "Especially my wife, I really like her."
In contrast, Yi Han recalled Aunt Fu's lukewarm attitude towards her recently, and gritted her teeth in jealousy. Just a year ago, she was the most likely person in many people's minds to become Liang's daughter-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the Liang family accepted Shu Run so quickly, and Liang Chaoluo didn't have any other thoughts after seeing those photos.
This gave her a sense of frustration that things were out of control; this was someone else's territory, and she didn't want to stay here like a clown.
When Aunt Fu was almost finished swimming the round trip, she made an excuse that she wasn't feeling well and left first.
Hearing that the guest was feeling unwell, Aunt Yuan followed him out of the house, worried.
After swimming, Zhuang Fuyao glanced at the shore and said, "That's strange. I just saw people here, but they disappeared after they finished swimming."
She actually recognized Yi Han's name and was a little annoyed, but luckily Yi Han left after they finished swimming.
Two days later, Zhuang Fuyao received an anonymous email.
Inside were photos of Shu Run and Cheng Fan that were taken last time; it was very clear that the other party wanted to cause trouble.
She knew immediately who sent it, and tore it up speechlessly.
But if Yi Han sends it to her, it's possible that he might send it to Liang Huaixu as well.
To prevent Liang Huaixu from receiving the same photo and developing a negative impression of bagels from this preconceived notion.
She found an opportunity to tell Liang Huaixu about how often they hung out together. She also mentioned that if it got too late, for safety reasons, she would arrange for Cheng Fan to escort each girl home.
