Grandma Lu sat alone on the sofa in the living room.
She learned about the incident in detail from her granddaughter's words, and also learned about Ouyang Zhenyu as a person.
The most troublesome thing about Ouyang Zhenyu is that he has a girlfriend. His granddaughter has already inquired about her background and found out that she comes from a good family. However, the problem lies with their family, and now they are in trouble.
Moreover, it seems that Ouyang Zhenyu is still very devoted to his girlfriend.
His character is good, but it's clear that young people don't understand the future and don't know what that means.
Since that's the case, we need to work on two fronts: his girlfriend and Ouyang Zhenyu.
Firstly, this forced Ouyang Zhenyu to choose Xiaomin from their family.
The old lady clearly outlined in her mind what she planned to do.
These things certainly require help; it seems we need to find people to do them.
My husband's birthday is in a month, so it's clear that it's not the right time to quell this matter now; trying to cover it up now would only make things worse.
If Ouyang Zhenyu and Xiaomin showed up at the old man's birthday party, that would be enough to explain the situation.
People like them certainly wouldn't go around explaining themselves to everyone they meet.
This month is enough time for me to make some preparations.
Hopefully, Ouyang Zhenyu won't let me down.
Of course, it's definitely not appropriate for her to see Ouyang Zhenyu now.
Ouyang Zhenyu was naturally unaware of this.
While signing a contract with Hong Kong businessmen, they also held a three-day academic exchange meeting and had friendly exchanges with surgeons from major hospitals in Shanghai.
Ouyang Zhenyu didn't have time to go back to the guesthouse at all, mainly because of the remaining three days.
To save time, the medical representative arranged for Ouyang Zhenyu to stay in a relatively better five-star hotel.
This way, it's convenient to use the meeting rooms here. They've all gathered here; we can't have Ouyang Zhenyu running around to one hospital after another.
Originally, the Lu family patriarch and matriarch had a good plan: to take things slowly.
But unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn.
The next day, a bunch of people came to my house.
When Li Huimin came downstairs and saw a room full of people, she was a little stunned.
Neither my maternal grandfather nor my maternal grandmother told me that we had guests at home today.
The moment the people opposite her saw her, they all stood up immediately.
"Xiaomin, are you home? But your grandparents told us you went out. Isn't that a misunderstanding?"
"Come, come here quickly, we need to talk to you."
Li Huimin glanced at her grandmother, who silently shook her head, looking equally troubled. Clearly, this was something they couldn't refuse.
"Uncle, Uncle, what brings you all here today?"
After looking around carefully, I realized that the people sitting in the living room were all prominent figures from various circles. They were so influential that even Shanghai would be shaken if they stomped their feet.
Even when we visit our maternal grandparents on ordinary days, it's impossible for so many people to come together; this seems rather intimidating.
"Uncle, Uncle, what's going on here...?"
"Xiaomin, please don't keep it from us."
You actually know that Dr. Ouyang.
Moreover, it seems that you two are quite close. Since you like Dr. Ouyang, you should be able to talk to him.
Look, what we're all thinking this time is to organize a reception, since it's not easy for such a big shot as Dr. Ouyang to come to Haishi.
How could we possibly refuse to meet with Dr. Ouyang?
"Look, you've invited Dr. Ouyang over; let's all treat him to a meal."
Everyone stared at Li Huimin, waiting for her reply.
Li Huimin was a little embarrassed when she heard this, as she and Ouyang Zhenyu had fallen to this point.
These people actually came to my door; weren't they just obviously trying to make a fool of themselves?
"Uncles and elders, you've misunderstood..."
Just as Li Huimin was about to explain, she heard Old Mrs. Lu cough softly twice.
Suddenly realizing that she had almost let something slip, she understood.
Isn't she trying to confirm that Ouyang Zhenyu is her fiancé?
She couldn't quite relate to it at first.
What's the misunderstanding?
Xiaomin, what exactly is your relationship with Dr. Ouyang?
“I… oh, Ouyang Zhenyu is my fiancé.”
Li Huimin gritted her teeth.
I can't let so many people laugh at me.
"Really? It's not like what the newspapers said?"
Li Huimin's face flushed red, her eyes filled with anger. What exactly did these people want to do by asking so many questions?
I don't know how unfriendly this topic is to me.
Is this some kind of sabotage against the Lu family?
"Dear uncles and elders, it's true, but because of our work, we don't want outsiders to know, so we haven't announced it to the public yet."
As you all know, Ouyang Zhenyu's job is very demanding. If he knew I was his fiancée, it would probably cause him a lot of trouble. So we wanted to wait until our wedding to announce it publicly.
Li Huimin was seriously making up lies, and it was understandable that she would say such things.
In that case, these people won't bother coming to ask me anymore, right?
"I knew it, Xiaomin has good taste."
She found such an extraordinary fiancé as Dr. Ouyang.
"Dr. Ouyang is such a famous surgeon."
You don't know that my father has had this heart problem for many years.
Many doctors recommended surgery, but we didn't dare to perform the surgery on the old man until we found a qualified doctor.
"This visit by Doctor Ouyang is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Xiaomin, my older brother wants to have a liver transplant, and many doctors have recommended Dr. Ouyang."
I originally intended to go to their home to invite them in person, but unexpectedly, Dr. Ouyang came instead.
Given the relationship between our two families, it was truly like God saved my older brother.
"Xiaomin and my grandma..."
“Xiaomin and my aunt.”
"What we all mean is that we don't want to put you in a difficult position, since it's obviously a bit inappropriate for so many people to come to us for help."
Why don't we organize a welcome banquet and invite Dr. Ouyang?
Let's all meet with Dr. Ouyang and talk about these matters.
With you acting as the mediator, I'm sure Dr. Ouyang will make an exception for us, his family's long-time friends.
"Since you put it that way, Xiaomin, then it's settled. We've booked the Jixiang Hall at the Wuzhou Hotel, and we'll all meet there."
Oh, and please give this invitation to Dr. Ouyang. It's a token of our appreciation.
"Xiaomin, we're counting on you for this. You absolutely must bring Dr. Ouyang here."
Everyone was talking at once, each of them talking to themselves, and then they all left.
Li Huimin looked at her grandparents with a grim expression.
"Grandpa and Grandma, what should we do?"
