That’s completely unrealistic. The last ti Granny Zhang went far away was for Tang Yue’s wedding. Since then, no matter where we go, Elder Mrs. Zhang hasn’t left ho again.
Zhang Qiang went to get the doctor and tried to reach Tang Yue, but when he couldn’t, he directly called Lian Qingyang.
Lian Qingyang was sowhat surprised to receive Zhang Qiang’s call.
Quickly, Lian Qingyang responded, "Zhang Qiang, since you’re back, perfect timing. I’m getting married next month, all of you must co to celebrate."
"Uncle, aunt, and grandma, I’ve already told them, you all can co over together," Lian Qingyang said, and then rembered Zhang Min at ho, adding, "Zhang Min and his wife should co too. At that ti, we can decide whether to fly directly or take a train together."
"Okay, we’ll co over. But, Qingyang, have you told Grandma?" Zhang Qiang asked, expressing his grandmother’s concerns.
Lian Qingyang imdiately said, "Zhang Qiang, how could I possibly mind Grandma coming? I’d be beyond happy if she could co to my wedding. But her health is important. If the doctor says it’s okay, Zhang Qiang, could you help by bringing Grandma over?"
"Lian Qingyang, she’s not only your grandma, but also my own grandmother," Zhang Qiang said, feeling the conversation was too formal.
It should be known, Elder Mrs. Zhang is also Zhang Qiang’s own grandmother. He wouldn’t need Lian Qingyang to ask him, of course Zhang Qiang would take good care of her.
"Yes, I didn’t say she wasn’t your grandmother. I also want to do my part, but unfortunately, I’m too busy here, arranging everything in Sea City. I wish I could, but I’m unable to," Lian Qingyang said helplessly.
Fortunately, in Sea City, everything was mainly being arranged by his father and aunt. As the wedding date was set tightly, from the guest arrangents to the wedding hotel, everything was a collective family effort to give Lian Qingyang the most luxurious wedding.
Here in Jing City, they took over the wedding tasks, freeing Lian Qingyang to handle business matters. Business won’t halt just because you’re getting married; instead, as he carves out ti for marriage, not only Xincheng Computer in Jing City and Lian Group, but also business in Sea City is all centralized on Lian Qingyang.
Lian Qingyang starts early in the morning and works until late at night. Even if he wanted to sneak a peek at Jin Yan, he had no ti.
There was nothing he could do. When he was awake, Jin Yan was asleep, and by the ti he went to bed, she was already asleep. How could Lian Qingyang bear to wake her?
Counting on his fingers, it’s been 4 days, 96 hours, 5760 minutes, 345,600 seconds since he last saw Jin Yan.
He misses her.
But, to wake up and see her first thing in the morning and to fall asleep holding her after the wedding, Lian Qingyang feels he can work a little harder to get more ti off.
Zhang Qiang brought the doctor ho for a thorough diagnosis for Elder Mrs. Zhang. Once it was confird that she could take the train to Jing City, Zhang Qiang was ready to proceed.
Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde, upon hearing the news, agreed with the plan. Zhang Hualian triple-checked with the doctor to ensure Elder Mrs. Zhang could go to Jing City, feeling relieved to discuss with Zhang Huafeng their going to attend the wedding.
Initially, Zhang Hualian wanted to go directly to Sea City for the wedding there, but Elder Mrs. Zhang wished to go to Jing City to see Zaozao and Chenchen.
"Mom, Jing City will only be the bride’s wedding. Qingyang’s wedding is in Sea City. We’ll drive to Sea City, where you can rest for a while before attending Qingyang’s wedding. Otherwise, you’d have to fly back to Sea City the sa day you get to Jing City, which would be too much on your body,"
Zhang Hualian advised kindly, suggesting that if Elder Mrs. Zhang could take the train, then they should head to Sea City first and avoid the back and forth between Jing City and Sea City.
"You want to see Zaozao and Chenchen. They’ll definitely go to Sea City for the wedding. Then, we can spend a long ti together there," Zhang Hualian explained.
When Lian Qingyang gets married, everyone will definitely head to Sea City. It wouldn’t be acceptable to leave Elder Mrs. Zhang alone in Jing City.
"So should I wait for you in Sea City first?" Elder Mrs. Zhang asked, then worried, "Where will we stay?"
"Mom, don’t worry. We’ll stay at Xiangquan Lake. The environnt is nice, and you’ll feel comfortable there," Zhang Hualian suggested, looking at Zhang Huafeng, "Huafeng, what do you think?"
"I think it’s all good. Since Qingyang is marrying in Sea City, we’ll go to Sea City," Zhang Huafeng encouraged, "Mom, we’re attending Qingyang’s wedding, it wouldn’t be right for the whole family to go to the bride’s side, would it?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing there was a place to stay, Elder Mrs. Zhang imdiately agreed. She had always thought she couldn’t go, so she kept her reluctance to herself. Now hearing she could attend the wedding, she felt relieved, and her health improved day by day.
Liu Cuixong, hearing they would go to Sea City, wasn’t surprised. She rely eyed Zhang Qiang, saying, "I’ve set a eting with Miss Xu for tomorrow noon at Zhenghua Restaurant."
"Mom." Zhang Qiang rubbed his head, wondering if it was too late to regret.
*
Zhenghua Restaurant.
Though Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian didn’t manage the restaurant themselves, Tang Zhengde’s apprentices and hired staff took charge of operations. He would only go for accounting or to handle major issues, and the monthly earnings were very considerable.
Zhang Qiang, prompted by Liu Cuixong, was already seated in the restaurant waiting for Miss Xu.
"Greet her," Liu Cuixong instructed when she saw Sister-in-law Jiang approaching.
"Aunt Jiang."
Zhang Qiang stood up, a slight upward curve on his lips signifying a greeting, smiling.
Aunt Jiang, a bit younger than Liu Cuixong, loved matchmaking.
"Oh, young man, you look very spirited. I heard you’re a doctor?" Aunt Jiang inquired with curiosity.
Zhang Qiang pressed his lips before responding, "Yes."
"He’s a neurologist," Liu Cuixong said, nudging Zhang Qiang, adding with a smile.
"Oh, oh, a neurologist, impressive. How much is your monthly salary? How much ti off do you get? After marriage, will you live in Jiang City or Wangjiang City?" Aunt Jiang questioned one after another.
Zhang Qiang didn’t want to answer, so Liu Cuixong helped, ntioning Zhang Qiang’s not-insignificant salary and his shares in Zhongyi Electronics in Sea City, though she didn’t boast about it, only highlighting his dical profession and future ho purchase plans in Jiang City.
"I heard your cousin-in-law owns Pinganda?" Aunt Jiang continued asking.
Zhang Qiang lowered his eyes, thinking to himself, here we go.
