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. Someone 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 moment, stored them in her cabinet. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net 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 come and tell us?" Mo Xiaolin looked eagerly at Zhang Hualian, holding her hand affectionately and said, "Mother-in-law, I came today to discuss with Xiao Yue when we should invite you to Jing City." "Come 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 moment and said, "tomorrow evening, our two families can have dinner together. What do you think?" "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 accustomed to calling Meng 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 me 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 time. 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 met this future in-law, her mind was somewhat at ease. Zhang Hualian was no longer the same inexperienced person she used to be. Having been a boss's wife for so long, whatever Zhang Hualian said also came 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 member 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 same time, she also pondered whether to bring some gifts. Zhang Hualian was indecisive for a moment, but after discussing with Tang Zhengde, they agreed that it's better to bring more than less, as it's not customary to visit someone empty-handed. Knowing about this, Tang Mingli specially came back early, took a bath, changed into a neat set of clothes, and went with Tang Zhengde's family to the new home in Jianan Prefecture. Speaking of which, this was Tang Mingli's first visit, and he was quite curious. The meal prepared by Mo Xiaolin was indeed sumptuous. Even though it was just Mo Xiaolin alone, she was very organized when it came to cooking, having prepared the entire day. When they arrived, the food was ready, just waiting to be served. Both Meng Jin and Mo Siyu came over after finishing work at the company. Meng Jin went out of his way to return to the Meng Family home to fetch a few bottles of good wine. Although Mr. Meng could not drink much, he was very fond of collecting wine and had all sorts of fine wines. Mr. Meng thought Meng Jin was coming home for dinner and was very happy, but to his surprise, Meng Jin took the wine and left. "Xiao Jin, when are you bringing Siyu and his mother back home?" Ever since Mr. Meng knew about this, he had been eagerly waiting for the day Meng Jin would bring his daughter-in-law and grandson home. But when Meng Jin came back, there was no sign of his daughter-in-law and grandson. "Dad, today I have an appointment with the in-laws, Xiao Yue's parents, to have dinner at home." As Meng Jin finished speaking, Mr. Meng excitedly said, "Then I should definitely be present. I am Siyu's grandfather, I..." Meng 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. Meng 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." Meng 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 me, what if you go and the wedding date doesn't proceed as planned? What then?" Meng 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 Meng Family shouldn't fear not finding a bride," Mr. Meng'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 me, single for twenty-something years, then by all means, go." Meng Jin said sternly. Mr. Meng impatiently waved his hand: "Fine, I won't go, are you happy now?"
