"If I wave my hand, the line of women wanting to marry me would stretch all the way to Tian’anmen." Lian Qingyang grinned broadly and teased Jin Yan, saying, "You’re different though. If you wanted to get married, I bet no one would dare to take you!"
"Hmph, if I wanted to get married, I could fill the entire Great Wall with suitors." Jin Yan almost wanted to throw the pastry in her hand.
Tang Yue, who was watching this whole scene, smacked her lips with a sigh. Her gaze fell on Lian Qingyang’s face, which was deliberately teasing Jin Yan, wondering if his quick mouth might one day get him into trouble.
Tang Yue quietly retreated, letting the two of them bicker. After all, whenever they met, they just had to exchange a few heated words, as if they wouldn’t be happy otherwise.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Qing and his family had a meal at Tang Yue’s house before heading out on a trip.
Tang Yue’s house continued to have a stream of visitors: Qin Anyu and Chu Hong’s family, as well as Factory Director Ding Chao and the others. The first month flew by, and it was soon the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
When Fourth Aunt Tang Zhengyue and Fourth Uncle Zhao Youwei came to visit, Zhang Hualian made sure they brought plenty of food with them.
Though it wasn’t Tang Zhengyue’s first visit, she was always very warm and friendly. Now, Tang Zhengyue’s family was doing particularly well. Zhao Youwei’s business was growing bigger, and he came to Jing City several times a year for business collaborations with furniture factories, earning substantial dividends.
"Xiao Yue, don’t worry. Your parents are doing well. They said they’ll return to Jing City on the twelfth, so there’s no need to worry," Tang Zhengyue said warmly. Tang Zhengyue now appeared several years younger than before, with an unceasing smile on her face.
Tang Yue warmly entertained them while wondering if she should ask if Tang Min had been upset about Gao Bin’s marriage to Zhang Min, but she didn’t know how to bring it up.
Ultimately, it was Tang Zhengyue who opened the topic: "Xiao Yue, we were initially going to wait until the tenth to attend the wedding banquet, but your uncle really couldn’t get away."
"Your cousin is really lucky. Our Xiao Min, after marrying Lu Ming, broke off ties with the Tang Family and hasn’t been living well. The child truly missed out on such a good person," Tang Zhengyue lamented, "But don’t worry. Your grandmother wasn’t angry about your cousin marrying Gao Bin; she just thinks Xiao Min is undisciplined."
Tang Yue gave an awkward smile. One was her cousin, the other her niece, so she felt it wasn’t her place to say much.
Evening.
Tang Yue talked on the phone with Zhang Hualian and learned that there was no uproar on Tang Min’s side. She felt relieved; otherwise, if the marriage caused any trouble, her mother would be upset.
Sigh, what kind of fate is this? Of all the men, how did Gao Bin end up with Zhang Min?
Maybe it’s just fate?
The tenth day of the Lunar New Year dawned with bright and clear skies, a perfect day for a wedding.
Wangjiang County First Middle School also received a truckload of books.
As this was not something the security guard could handle, they approached the principal. When the principal saw the truckload of books, even he was surprised. He asked the delivery person, "We didn’t purchase these books."
"Principal, the books have been paid for. They were specifically delivered to Wangjiang County First Middle School," Factory Director Zheng said with a smile. He hadn’t needed to come personally, but since it was a donation, and he had distant relatives nearby, he decided to come along.
It had been many years since he last visited Wangjiang County, and it was completely different from the small town it used to be. It seemed Wangjiang County was developing well, with tall buildings and wide streets; it no longer looked like a small county at all.
"Who sent them?" The principal was startled, seeing so many books delivered. Who would buy so many books and send them to the school?
