The dinner between the two families lasted for more than three hours.
At the end, Mr. ng arranged for cars to send everyone back one by one.
Since Xu Jiafeng had co over, she planned to stay at her daughter’s place for two days to help arrange matters for the engagent ceremony.
The two families set the date for six days later, just around the New Year.
On the way back, Xu Jiafeng spoke quietly to her daughter, saying that ng Cheng’an was indeed handso and matched well with Xiangxiang.
But what was going on with his face? Had he been in a fight?
He looked like such an elegant young man, hopefully there wasn’t anything wrong with him!
Previously, everyone was dazzled by wealth, thinking that since the young ones were dating, they might as well get married. But afterwards, Xu Jiafeng began to worry again, hoping the child didn’t have any bad habits. Now that he was a young master, no one could control him.
Speaking of this, Hu Honglian felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Chenhui hit him..."
When they ca over for dinner, Tian Chenhui had quietly told Hu Honglian that the injury on ng Cheng’an’s face was from him, from that ti at the hospital downstairs.
Tian Chenhui was also worried that everyone would be too concerned without knowing the truth and then he might get dragged into it, which would be awkward.
Hu Honglian was speechless, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
Xu Jiafeng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there wasn’t anything serious.
The two cars arranged by Mr. ng left, with ng Cheng’an standing at the restaurant entrance, reluctant to part.
Mr. ng patted his grandson’s shoulder, "Co on, the house at the Military and Political Institute is ready, let’s go take a look at your new ho."
But just after two pats, ng Cheng’an couldn’t stand steadily and fell directly downward.
Mr. ng: "..."
He quickly helped support him, and a nearby guard rushed over to assist.
"AnAn, what’s wrong with you?"
Mr. ng looked worried.
ng Cheng’an: "It’s nothing, just a little dizzy."
"To the hospital?"
"No need, a little rest will be fine."
Mr. ng sighed, "Well, let grandpa take you ho."
"Alright."
...
anwhile.
Tian Xiang was also quite worried about ng Cheng’an. Towards the end of the al, she felt sothing was off about him, like he was too tired and forcing himself.
However, now that Mr. ng was there, everything should be fine under his watch.
The two cars drove directly to the alleyway outside, and then the accompanying driver and two guards sent them into the courtyard.
In the morning, the ng Family had co over, and the news that Tian Xiang’s partner was a big official’s grandson had already spread everywhere.
Even though the Tian Family was not there, everyone kept discussing, unafraid of the cold, standing at the door chirping away.
Now that the whole family was finally back, many wanted to co over and inquire about the situation, but upon seeing the guards, they retreated.
Once the driver and guards left, people slowly gathered around to ask Hu Honglian, when the engagent ceremony would be, was it ti for a wedding?
Hu Honglian regained her usual vigor, carrying herself with pride.
The kids are still young, so marriage could be discussed later; for the engagent, it would be before the New Year.
Oh, this is great, with such good in-laws, there’s no need to worry about anything.
You shouldn’t say that, they are their family, and we are our own. As long as the daughter is doing well, that’s all that matters; everything else still depends on ourselves.
Hu Honglian didn’t want to be ensnared by these people’s words.
The ng Family’s status is too high, she needs to be more careful with her words and actions in the future, to avoid giving anyone ammunition against them.
In the afternoon, Tian Xiang returned to the factory, where there were many things to do at the end of the year, and she still had a lot of work.
Before getting off work, Li Huai found her regarding the nomination for outstanding employee from last ti. He had resubmitted it for her, and it was highly likely to be approved directly without voting.
Tian Xiang: "..."
"Director, just handle it as it is, there’s no need to give special treatnt."
This afternoon, when Tian Xiang returned to work, whether at the factory or the residential complex, everyone greeted her with smiles, like smiling Buddhas, which made her really uncomfortable.
Li Huai: "You shouldn’t feel any psychological pressure. This was always sothing you deserved, it’s just that before...
Well, you understand."
Tian Xiang chuckled, "Alright, alright."
For the next two days, ng Cheng’an was on leave resting, while Tian Xiang continued to shine at her unit.
The news about her and ng Cheng’an had spread everywhere. Regardless, it had quite an impact on her work.
Now, everyone took her status as the future granddaughter-in-law of the ng Family into account, treating her with utmost respect. Those usually arrogant elderly ladies and aunties couldn’t jump around in her presence, obediently cooperating with any matters.
Chen Yong even remarked to her, "It feels like having you do all this diation work is a bit of talent squandered."
Tian Xiang: "You’re not happy?"
"How could that be! Now, as soon as your na is ntioned, the elderly ladies and gentlen behave themselves."
Tian Xiang: "Well there you have it then."
After work in the afternoon, on her way ho, she stopped at a grocery store to buy so biscuits and canned fruit.
Her elder brother’s family was coming back today, so she bought so goodies for the family to try.
Tian Haiyun’s family of three arrived in the afternoon, and when Tian Xiang returned, the couple had just put down their things not long ago.
It had been a year since she last saw her elder brother and sister-in-law, and Tian Xiang was delighted, even giving her little nephew a hug.
The family chatted joyfully for a bit, and then Tian Xiang was pulled into the room by Hu Honglian.
Hu Honglian pointed to the items in the basket, "This piece of pork was specially saved for by the market director after hearing that your brother’s family was coming back, and didn’t even require a ticket. I didn’t want to accept it, but he insisted.
Also, Director Wu ca to tell this morning that there’s a vacant room in the No.2 courtyard of the neighboring alley, and during the ti your brother is back, we can move in by paying a small fee to the street.
Xiangxiang, I really can’t make up my mind about these things. What do you think?"
Hu Honglian had already been very cautious over the past two days. Previously, when her daughter got in the paper or received a pennant, she could boast for days, wishing everyone knew.
Now, although she regained her usual vitality, she was much more low-key, not talking about the ng Family matters.
But she couldn’t stop people from coming over.
A little bit of free at, and an empty room on the street.
Tian Xiang thought for a mont, "at is fine. Even if it doesn’t require a ticket, you can pay for it. As for the house, I think it’s better to pass. Although it costs money, there are too many households around here in need, and people might get envious. It would have a big impact."
Hu Honglian nodded, "That’s what I think too. A bit of food is alright, but with a big thing like a house, there will surely be talk."
Although at the dining table Mr. ng had said he would get everyone new jobs, that was private family conversation.
The house was just too obvious.
ng Cheng’an rested at ho for three days, and then returned to work.
Mr. ng was worried about his health, so he drove him there and took the opportunity to visit the biggest factory in the city.
The day Mr. ng returned from Beijing, the factory hurriedly cleaned up for his arrival but he didn’t co.
Today, he ca for a surprise inspection without any announcent.
As soon as Tian Xiang started work, Li Huai called her aside, asking her and ng Cheng’an to act as representatives and accompany Mr. ng to tour the factory. Mr. ng was already there, at the factory committee.
