Zhang Hongmei gave all the guarantees she could, in order to dispel any concerns the other party might have.
Zhang Shouyi came over at this time, chatted with Zou Jingrui for a while, and was quite satisfied with the character of the Zou family.
"Hongmei, I'm going to work."
In front of outsiders, Zhang Hongmei couldn't possibly refuse to give him face, so she smiled and nodded.
Zhou Yuling quickly stood up, but Zhang Hongmei pulled her down to sit.
"Mrs. Zou, you're too kind."
After seeing Zhang Shouyi off, Zhang Hongmei deliberately told Zhou Yuling a lot about Gu Yaozu.
Zhou Yuling was shocked. It turned out that the other party had already made arrangements for the children. Her family had also discussed it before. Gu Yaozu's surname was Gu. She never expected that he would inherit the Gu family of the old leader.
Zhou Yuling is very self-aware; she knows her daughter isn't cut out to be the First Lady, and that's perfectly fine.
At 3 p.m., the Zou family said goodbye and left, and agreed to meet the children at Fuzeyuan the next day at noon.
This time, it wasn't Yang Yongjian's driver who brought them, but Gan Lu who drove the Zou family.
"Old Zhang, I have to go back too. Lijun should be home by five o'clock."
"Okay, you two can just come over tomorrow. We'll stay here tonight."
"Okay, Lao Zhang, do you think I should talk to Lijun first? That way, the child will have some peace of mind."
“I have no objection to that. I’m sure my grandson and your granddaughter will be interested in him. But I’m worried that there might be a problem with Zhenye. I’m afraid the two of them might not be meant to be, which would put Lijun in an awkward position.”
"Zhang Xingguo, you are as shameless as ever. Maybe my Lijun wouldn't even look at yours? No matter how outstanding you are, there's still a possibility."
"Alright, alright, let's not argue about it anymore. We'll know tomorrow, won't we?"
"Hmph, I'll go back and tell Lijun, so the child won't be frightened."
After dinner, the family sat in the living room drinking tea.
"Zhenye, what's your opinion on Yang Yongjian?"
"Grandpa, Old Yang is an upright man."
"Well, you should meet Lijun tomorrow. If you really don't like her or don't approve of her, Grandpa won't force you."
"Okay, Grandpa, I understand."
"Yaozu, how about you? How are the Zou family members?" Gu Chuanming looked at his great-grandson sitting across from him.
"Grandpa, the Zou family is good, but that doesn't mean Zou Haiyin is good either. I haven't met her yet, so what do you want me to say?"
"Fool, let me tell you, although marriage is a matter between the two of you, family is very important. If your wife's family is full of awful people, do you think you can escape it? Besides, I always believe that family has a huge impact on a person."
Of course, Lijun is an exception; after all, this child has never had contact with her father, and she doesn't seem like a cold-hearted person.
After Gu Chuanming finished speaking, Zhang Hongmei nodded, "Grandpa, you're right. It's just an example. If everyone in a family is petty and calculating, do you think their children will be magnanimous? Why do we always talk about leading by example?"
Zhang Shouyi suddenly stood up and said, "Zhenye, come to the study with me."
The father and son hardly speak to each other anymore. Although Zhang Zhenye knows that he is being very childish, he really feels sorry for his mother, so he harbors resentment towards his father.
But since his father had called him, he followed him into the study.
"Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Zhang Zhenye sat down, looked at his father, and waited for him to speak. Xiao Wu had mentioned that his mother had once asked him to ask his father about Yang Lijun.
"Zhenye, Yang Lijun is a reincarnation. Rebirth means living another life."
I've also read her mind; this girl was probably forced to her death at fifteen in her past life. She likely had some extraordinary experience, which is why she witnessed so much after death.
"Dad, reborn? Is someone like that suitable for our family? I don't want to find a wife who is too calculating."
“Zhenye, you have to observe this yourself. Your mother knows about this, but she agreed, which means she approves of the girl. However, everything is still up to your wishes.”
"I know, I'll try to get in touch with her."
“Zhenye, you need to understand that you will be taking over my position in the future, so the woman by your side must be steady and reliable. While I can't say you should find someone like your mother, you must be very careful in choosing your wife.”
"Dad, if you think Mom is so good, why did that happen? Why did you make Mom so sad?"
"Zhenye, I don't know why this happened either, but I will figure it out."
Zhang Zhenye gave Zhang Shouyi a complicated look, then stood up and left. This was the father he had admired since childhood. How could he not feel heartache seeing him like this? But if they really had to choose, they would both choose their mother.
Perhaps Xiao Wu and the others don't know, but the four of them saw what their mother looked like when she was pregnant with Xiao Wu and the other two. They also heard from their ancestor that their mother had it even harder when she was pregnant with all four of them.
They are asking for the children's opinions here, and the Yang and Zou families are doing the same.
Yang Yongjian and Yang Lijun sat in the study. "Lijun, you're coming with me to the leader's house tomorrow. It's so you can meet the eldest son of the leader, Zhang Zhenye."
"grandfather?"
"It's a blind date. I'm getting old, and I don't know how much longer I can watch over you. I'm afraid that if I suddenly die, you won't be able to rely on your father. So I'm arranging this for you while I'm still alive."
I met Zhang Zhenye today. He's a year older than you and is currently studying in the US. He's a senior and will graduate next year.
We've met his family, and you should know in your heart that they are truly a good family. Their affluent lifestyle is primarily due to their good character; even if you marry into their family, I'll feel at ease.
"Grandpa, this is too early." Yang Lijun frowned.
"It's getting late. Wait two years, when you'll both be of legal marriage age. I'll give you two years to get to know each other."
"Grandpa, I hadn't even graduated yet back then."
"Aren't college students allowed to get married?"
Yang Lijun fell silent. Her grandfather had already inquired about everything. She actually knew Zhang Zhenye, though they had never met, but their story was recorded at Capital University. While not as legendary as her mother's, the fact that he was admitted to Capital University at such a young age was already a source of much discussion.
"Lijun, Zhang Zhenye's family and I agree, but it still depends on what you two want. If you two are not meant to be, that's okay, Grandpa will help you find someone else. In short, while I'm still healthy, I must settle your marriage. I'm worried about your father."
