In the blink of an eye, January is almost halfway over.
Xia Wenxi had originally promised to go with Lin Shen to the Lin Group's annual meeting, but unexpectedly, both the Lin Group's and Hengyuan Group's annual meetings were scheduled for the evening of the 15th.
That day happened to be a Friday, the company's annual meeting was held, and the employees were having a happy weekend, which was just right.
Once the date was set, it was difficult to change it easily. Fortunately, the hotels where the two companies held their annual meetings were not far apart, so Xia Wenxi discussed it with her family and decided to leave work a little early that day.
Anyway, she only needs to show her face; she doesn't need to do anything.
Ke Shurong and Xia Hengyuan had no objections. They didn't want the annual meeting to be too serious, so it didn't matter whether they left early or late.
However, when she went to Lin Shen's place, she was just casually strolling around.
It felt pretty good to be able to eat at the annual parties of two companies all by myself.
So she told Lin Shen, "After I've finished eating here, I'll have the driver take me to your place."
"Okay, I'll meet you at the door when you arrive. I'll save all the good food for you."
Lin Shen wanted to pick him up from Hengyuan in person, but he couldn't be away for too long that day.
"good!"
In the remaining few days, Xia Wenxi went to the beauty salon with Ke Shurong a few more times.
One reason is to take care of her skin and hair, as Ke Shurong has always felt that her daughter is becoming increasingly rough.
Secondly, of course, it's to "broaden one's horizons" by going along.
Mrs. Pigeon Egg wore a new pigeon egg today, and now Ke Shurong and her daughter Xia Wenxi glance at people's hands whenever they see them.
"Mrs. Xia, how's that girl you mentioned last time? Why don't you leave me your contact information so I can have my son meet her?"
Mrs. Pigeon Egg was eager to have a grandchild, and as soon as she saw Ke Shurong, she pulled her aside and asked her questions.
Ke Shurong made that up last time; I almost didn't remember it when I heard it again.
"Sigh, I asked! Unfortunately, the person has found a partner, but their family isn't very satisfied. What can I do? They're still holding a grudge."
Xia Wenxi was truly impressed by her mother's quick thinking; the way she said it almost convinced her family knew such a family.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pigeon Egg didn't blame her. Instead, she advised in a tone of someone with experience, "Let it go. It's good that the child is willing to find someone. They are the ones who live their own lives. Let them do whatever they want."
After saying that, he changed the subject, "Do you know the Yan family, the richest family in Jinjiang City next door?"
You can tell from his tone that he has something to say.
Xia Wenxi was already getting a facial massage and was so comfortable that she was about to fall asleep when she heard this and quickly opened her eyes.
No wonder everyone avoids going to private rooms; it's so boring just lying there. You have to hear something from someone.
"I know, what happened to their family? I've heard before that their third son... cough! likes men, doesn't he? What happened this time?"
"It's not that anything happened. I just wanted to say that their family has such good conditions and such a big business, but none of their three children are married, and the eldest is already over forty years old."
If Mr. Yan had agreed to his son being with his girlfriend back then, his grandson would be in high school now, and things wouldn't be like this now.
"With such a large family fortune, who will inherit it in the future?"
Ke Shurong voiced what everyone was thinking.
"His second daughter, she had a boyfriend before, but I heard they broke up. However, she has a child. President Yan said that the Yan family will belong to his niece from now on. This made President Yan and his second wife very angry, but there's nothing they can do. They're too old to control her."
Xia Wenxi listened with great interest, thinking to herself, "No wonder they're from the richest family, they're truly unique!"
"Having a granddaughter is good enough, what else is there to complain about?"
"you do not say!"
Mrs. Pigeon Egg said solemnly, "Other people had three children back then, and at least they have a granddaughter. Look at me, I probably won't have the chance to see the next generation in this lifetime. I should have had another one when I was still able to have children a couple of years ago."
Is this something that can be said?
...
Xia Wenxi really wanted to meet Mrs. Pigeon Egg's son and see who he was that made her own mother say such things.
Later, the conversation circled back to the Yin family. The person who knew the most about the Yin family was still the same woman who had made the revelation last time.
"Mrs. Yin tried every means to break up her son and his girlfriend. Now her son is doing well. He ran to Jinjiang to chase after his girlfriend and won't come back. I don't know how to end this."
Xia Wenxi and her mother exchanged a glance.
Everyone knows who this girlfriend she's talking about is.
Although this matter has little to do with Xia Wenxi, she still hopes that Su Yinyin will not turn back.
When I first met Yin Chengjing at the mall, I thought he was just an average person... and after hearing about his wife, I felt that she was a very difficult person to deal with.
Not to mention the ridiculous and messy story of the body double.
When Xia Wenxi first met Su Yinyin, she thought the girl was quite cute.
The "wife-chasing crematorium" scenario only exists in novels. Xia Wenxi's taste in novels is quite rustic; she likes reading those kinds of stories and even sheds a few tears at the end.
But she can distinguish between reality and fiction. In reality, every single man like that has mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
On the way home from the beauty salon, Xia Wenxi sat next to her mother, hugged her arm affectionately, and said, "I heard what those ladies were saying, and I think you and Dad are just so good together."
Ke Shurong habitually stroked her daughter's long hair and said with a smile, "Because your dad and I went through that kind of situation. Back then, your maternal grandparents didn't agree to me being with your dad, and I was quite rebellious at the time. I thought to myself, when I have children in the future, I will definitely not be like my parents."
Of course, respect doesn't mean complete indifference. If their children's partners have character flaws or unforgivable personality defects, she and her husband will definitely offer advice.
Fortunately, their two children are very easy to manage in this regard, just like their parents were when they were young, and they date good girls.
They really had no reason to object.
There have been people who have subtly suggested before that Wen Sheng's girlfriend comes from a poor family and that he could find someone better.
But how good is it really? Is there anything more important than your own child's happiness?
Xia Wenxi knew that her maternal grandparents had passed away. Seeing her mother's sad expression when she mentioned her grandparents, she offered words of comfort.
"Mom, Grandpa and Grandma will be happy to see you so happy now."
“Yes, after your father and I went to pay our respects to them last year, your father told me the next day that he dreamed that your maternal grandparents were smiling at him.”
"Your grandparents must have seen how good Dad is to you, and they've acknowledged that he's a good son-in-law."
Xia Wenxi talked a lot along the way, and finally we understood that in recent years, even when visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, it was almost always just the two of them.
Xia Wensheng was busy with work and hadn't had time for several days. As for "Xia Wenxi"... she simply didn't want to go.
This relieved Xia Wenxi; it was better that she didn't go, as she never liked visiting relatives.
