The gist was that at so point, Shang Lu had published an article that played a significant role.
Or that at so point, Zhong Xiuxiu made new progress in the field of neurology.
It was a while before it was the father's turn to give his marriage blessing speech.
The father expressed that his son was very promising.
Because Shang Lu being able to marry a wife was beyond his expectations.
Tang Xian understood this father very well; as a wingman, he watched Shang Lu's parents with a smile that hid his deep contributions.
The mother, on the other hand, wished blessings for Zhong Xiuxiu. It seed there was no need to worry about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
These parents seed to have a higher EQ than Shang Lu.
After blessing the happy love of Shang Lu and Zhong Xiuxiu,
Li Zheng began his tycoon speech, and before making the blessing statent, he rather bluntly displayed the Li family's financial power.
If previously people were uninterested in such statents, now everyone was focused and attentive.
After all, which scientist wouldn't be interested in how a wealthy benefactor invested in their equipnt?
It was after a long while that Li Zheng finally gave his blessing.
He slowly walked off the stage, passing by Tang Xian.
In that passing mont, Li Zheng curiously glanced at this old gentleman, Tang Jikede.
It was a familiar feeling, but he couldn't pinpoint where the familiarity ca from.
Li Zheng did not think deeply about it, shook his head, and stood on the other side of the groom.
Tang Xian ca up to the microphone, hunching over, not forgetting that he was a lonely old man.
Though very wealthy, he was solitary in his later years.
In fact, people were also sowhat puzzled about how Shang Lu had co to know such an elderly gentleman.
The elderly gentleman's speech was quite different from others.
"One spends their entire life searching for another human being, and in the na of love, demands to be bound together for the remainder of their days—I have never been able to understand this."
After this sentence was spoken, people gradually started frowning. Even Shang Lu found it sowhat odd.
Only Zhong Xiuxiu didn't, as this was the sa question she also sought to understand.
Tang Jikede, unbothered by the crowd's reaction, continued with a thoughtful expression,
"I occasionally think, if I were younger, perhaps I would have the ti to find a partner and ponder the essence of this commitnt to grow old together.
But I am old now, and I don't have the ti to verify these thoughts, nor do I have much desire to.
Perhaps I am interesting enough on my own, so I do not need soone else to bring joy for a lifeti.
Therefore, I cannot bless you with the joy of love, for I do not know what that joy is like. My life is not complete.
I can only wish that the happiness you find in each other is as abundant as the happiness I have given myself."
This was a sowhat eccentric congratulations.
The people around were a bit perplexed. But they were sure the last sentence was a form of blessing.
Shang Lu nodded and smiled.
Only Zhong Xiuxiu, she looked at Tang Xian, without blinking.
This girl who couldn't understand the subtext in movies, this ti understood the aning behind Tang Xian's words.
Tang Jikede's life was incomplete, as he was old.
But she was young, her life was already complete, and she had ample ti to ponder the aning of love.
To comprehend the grand question of love and its essence.
Zhong Xiuxiu, who had been silent all the while, said softly,
"When I understand it, I will tell you."
Tang Xian laughed happily, truly happy.
(I'm laying out the outline for the next saga, these chapters are rather bland, but the plot relating to Zhong Xiuxiu is quite important later on, so I can't cut or edit it.)
