Zhang Hualian said, "Why not give it to you? The house we lived in before was bought by you, wasn't it? Now that you're getting married, it's only right that the house should be yours."
"Mom, I..." Tang Yue wanted to speak but found herself at a loss for words.
"You take these things. When the dowry arrives, you'll take charge of everything." Zhang Hualian said this because she was not the kind to manage things and believed her daughter Tang Yue, who was quite capable, would do a better job than herself.
"Mom." Tang Yue couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms, with a thousand words to say, but not knowing where to start.
Soone knocked at the courtyard door.
Zhang Hualian said, "Put these things away, I'll go answer the door."
"Hurry up, it could be your guest. I don't know them," Zhang Hualian said, and turned to leave.
Tang Yue looked at the items and, after thinking for a mont, stored them in her cabinet.
Hardly had she finished putting things away when she heard the excited voices of Mo Xiaolin and Zhang Hualian.
"Mother-in-law, when did you arrive in Jing City? Why didn't you have Xiao Yue co and tell us?" Mo Xiaolin looked eagerly at Zhang Hualian, holding her hand affectionately and said, "Mother-in-law, I ca today to discuss with Xiao Yue when we should invite you to Jing City."
"Co in and have a seat," Zhang Hualian warmly invited Mo Xiaolin inside.
In the studio, Xin Jiaren and the others were working diligently.
With Mo Xiaolin's enthusiastic attitude, Zhang Hualian felt much relieved and replied, "We just arrived yesterday and haven't had the chance to inform you."
"That's perfect, how about..." Mo Xiaolin thought for a mont and said, "tomorrow evening, our two families can have dinner together. What do you think?" Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N()velFire
"Okay," Zhang Hualian didn't refuse.
Mo Xiaolin took the initiative and said, "Then we can discuss the wedding certificate. Though we're not having a wedding banquet, it's still a big deal. I was thinking of inviting both the Mo Family and the Tang Family to Jing City for dinner to recognize each other as relatives. What do you think, mother-in-law?"
"Wouldn't that be too expensive?" Zhang Hualian hesitated.
The two families having dinner together to celebrate the marriage registration was an important affair after all.
"Not expensive. This is for Brother Jin..." Mo Xiaolin was already accustod to calling ng Jin 'Brother Jin,' and thus slipped it out. She explained a bit shyly, "Brother Jin is Si Yu's biological father. We'll get the marriage certificate to make up for the years he's been unmarried."
"Congratulations to you. After waiting for so many years, you've finally reached this day of reunion," Zhang Hualian said with heartfelt sincerity.
"That's right," Mo Xiaolin felt extra happy at the thought. She continued, "Brother Jin said it's a happy occasion, even if it's a bit of a bother for relatives to travel to Jing City."
"Brother Jin really appreciates Xiao Yue and told to take good care of her. Moreover, Si Yu's career is just starting, and after they get married, he won't be able to be with her all the ti. This is where we've wronged Xiao Yue," Mo Xiaolin said gracefully.
Moreover, Mo Xiaolin genuinely felt apologetic towards Tang Yue - Tang Yue was attractive, talented, and of good character. Mo Xiaolin found her too precious, and her words were filled with genuine affection. This made Zhang Hualian, who had always been worried, rest much easier.
Even though she hadn't t this future in-law, her mind was sowhat at ease.
Zhang Hualian was no longer the sa inexperienced person she used to be. Having been a boss's wife for so long, whatever Zhang Hualian said also ca across as particularly soothing to listen to.
And just like that, they decided to have dinner together the next evening at the Tang Family's residence in Jianan Prefecture.
Of course, Zhang Hualian also specially invited Tang Mingli's family over as guests.
In Jing City, the only mber of the Tang Family was Tang Mingli, and from Si Yu's words, Mo Xiaolin knew that Uncle Tang Mingli was very fond of Xiao Yue.
The next day, Zhang Hualian woke up early and, together with Tang Zhengde, picked out new clothes to wear for the visit. At the sa ti, she also pondered whether to bring so gifts.
Zhang Hualian was indecisive for a mont, but after discussing with Tang Zhengde, they agreed that it's better to bring more than less, as it's not customary to visit soone empty-handed.
Knowing about this, Tang Mingli specially ca back early, took a bath, changed into a neat set of clothes, and went with Tang Zhengde's family to the new ho in Jianan Prefecture.
Speaking of which, this was Tang Mingli's first visit, and he was quite curious.
Jianan Prefecture.
The al prepared by Mo Xiaolin was indeed sumptuous. Even though it was just Mo Xiaolin alone, she was very organized when it ca to cooking, having prepared the entire day. When they arrived, the food was ready, just waiting to be served.
Both ng Jin and Mo Siyu ca over after finishing work at the company.
ng Jin went out of his way to return to the ng Family ho to fetch a few bottles of good wine. Although Mr. ng could not drink much, he was very fond of collecting wine and had all sorts of fine wines.
Mr. ng thought ng Jin was coming ho for dinner and was very happy, but to his surprise, ng Jin took the wine and left.
"Xiao Jin, when are you bringing Siyu and his mother back ho?" Ever since Mr. ng knew about this, he had been eagerly waiting for the day ng Jin would bring his daughter-in-law and grandson ho.
But when ng Jin ca back, there was no sign of his daughter-in-law and grandson.
"Dad, today I have an appointnt with the in-laws, Xiao Yue's parents, to have dinner at ho." As ng Jin finished speaking, Mr. ng excitedly said, "Then I should definitely be present. I am Siyu's grandfather, I..."
"Dad."
ng Jin interrupted him: "Today we are discussing the wedding date and Siyu's marriage. If you go, and a quarrel breaks out, do you still want your grandson to get married?"
Mr. ng grumbled: "I am his grandfather. How can I not be present at his wedding?"
"Dad, who asked you to treat Siyu like that in the past? Even if he's not yet acknowledged back into the family, I am your biological son, and I can't stand it either." ng Jin said earnestly: "Dad, if you truly want to acknowledge your grandson, then... don't go."
"Siyu likes Xiao Yue very much, values her greatly, and is particularly eager to marry her. You tell , what if you go and the wedding date doesn't proceed as planned? What then?" ng Jin deliberately made the situation sound more serious: "What's more, what if Xiao Yue decides not to marry Siyu because of you? Aren't you pushing your grandson away again?"
"My grandson from the ng Family shouldn't fear not finding a bride," Mr. ng's voice softened a bit.
"Yes, he can find a bride, but your grandson only loves Xiao Yue. If you want your grandson to end up like , single for twenty-sothing years, then by all ans, go." ng Jin said sternly.
Mr. ng impatiently waved his hand: "Fine, I won't go, are you happy now?"
