after the group had dinner, fu chen sent qiao aiyun and the others to a hotel.

they were supposed to go to yishui community, but there weren’t many rooms there, and it couldn’t accommodate so many people. moreover, it was too far from the hotel where the engagement party was held. if it was during peak hours, it would take two or three hours to drive, so they simply checked into the hotel where the engagement party was held.

fu chen had booked a large suite for the whole family to stay in. he had to be busy with other people, so he didn’t stay for long.

“fu chen is a good kid. he’s so thoughtful and considerate. he even asked someone to send me something to soak my feet and a massage device.” old lady yan couldn’t stop smiling. ” wanwan won’t suffer if she marries him. ”

“ai yun, you can rest assured about wanwan.”

qiao aiyun smiled and hugged little yan xianshen. ” yes, fu chen is really good. ”

song fengwan didn’t leave with fu chen, but stayed to accompany her family. she kept hearing the two of them praise fu chen, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

yan wangchuan, on the other hand, was sitting at the side, flipping through the newspaper given by the hotel with a scarce and indifferent expression. this had nothing to do with him, but the old lady praised fu chen and insisted on stepping on him …

” if wangchuan was half as considerate and meticulous as him when he was young, he wouldn’t have to stay in the cold kiln for more than 20 years. ”

song fengwan burst out laughing. did grandma compare uncle yan to wang baochan?

the qiao family arrived at night, and only qiao wangbei was there because qiao xiyan was still abroad. he had planned to come, but the flight had been canceled due to the weather, so he probably wouldn’t be able to make it.

speaking of qiao xiyan, there was another very interesting thing, and that was the marriage discussion.

according to tradition, the man’s family had to make a trip to the woman’s house to show respect, but …

qiao wangbei was afraid of heights, so he couldn’t take a plane. in the end, the tang family went to wu suqiao’s house to discuss the wedding, which made tang wangjin break down.

that kind of feeling was not like marrying off his daughter, but sending his daughter away!

after that, qiao xiyan personally sent her family back to the country. they stayed at the tang family’s house for a few days and didn’t return for the time being.

when fu chen picked up qiao wangbei, it was already past ten at night …

when song fengwan called him to ask, he actually said that he took his uncle out for supper?

” it’s so late. you’re asking him to go back to the hotel to rest? ” song fengwan frowned.

fu chen said slowly, ” i suggested that we go back to the hotel after dinner. he suggested coming here. don’t worry, he’s in good spirits. ”

song fengwan was dumbfounded. she had almost forgotten that the two of them had almost become friends despite their age. naturally, they had endless topics to talk about.

duan linbai originally wanted to ask fu chen out for a gathering. after all, they were getting engaged tomorrow, which could be considered half a step into the grave of marriage, but he was rejected.

because a certain someone would rather drink old man’s tea with qiao wangbei?

why didn’t she come out to sing and eat with him?

falling in love was indeed too scary.

the next day.

not many people were invited to the engagement party. almost all of them were their close friends and family. there were only a few tables of wine in the hotel, but the venue was also decorated in a warm and peaceful manner.

even when the reporters who heard the news came over, they didn’t manage to take any useful photos.

the meal time was set for the evening. as the winter sky turned dark earlier, many people arrived at around four o ‘clock.

the dishes and wine had not been served, but there were some exquisite refreshments.

a group of people were teasing little yan xiansen, who was in old lady yan’s arms.

he seemed to like the refreshments here. after eating two small biscuits in a row, he mumbled, ” “alright …”

at this time, he could already stutter out words and call her sister, but the first person he called was fu chen.

that day, qiao aiyun was video-calling song fengwan. fu chen was beside her, and they were talking about teaching little yan how to speak.

“you still don’t know how to call them mom and dad?” song fengwan laughed.

” no, he just babbles. when you were young, you were the same age as him, and you already know how to call me mommy … ”

unexpectedly, little yan suddenly pointed at fu chen on the screen and shouted, ” scared! ”

“he’s calling for his father?” song fengwan was pleasantly surprised.

“it should be. little chi, can you shout again?” however, no matter how qiao aiyun coaxed him, he didn’t say anything.

at that time, yan wangchuan was sitting on the other side, and his face had turned completely black.

this kid couldn’t be shouting at fu chen, right?

little rascal!

when song fengwan saw that her brother liked to eat those biscuits, she went straight to xu yuanfei, who was still busy in the dessert area at the back.

“why are you here? it’s quite messy here. don’t dirty your dress.” xu yuanfei was wearing her work uniform. she smiled and said, ” you’re dressed very beautifully today. ”

“thank you,” he said. naturally, song fengwan had put in a lot of effort to dress up. ” oh right, do you still have any of those rose-patterned biscuits from earlier? ”

“there’s some left.”

“can you pack some for me? my little brother loves them.”

“okay, i’ll pack it for you later.”

“thank you. actually, there’s nothing much to do here. come out and eat with us later.” song fengwan suggested. when fu sinian got married, she had been busy the entire night and did not even get to eat a hot meal.

“we’ll see. i’ll go out after i’m done.”

xu yufei was very nervous because his father and brother would be coming tonight.

when he heard that the xu family’s parents had returned to the capital, master fu had called them to ask if they could come, but the xu family’s old master had been injured in the leg and had been in severe pain due to the recent rain and snow. he had come to the capital for treatment and had declined the fu family’s invitation. his mother had also stayed to take care of the two elders and hadn’t come.

otherwise, the xu family would have sent out all of their forces this time.

that would be too risky.

the hotel that fu chen had booked was a little far from the jing family, so when the jing family of three arrived at the hotel, almost everyone was there, including master xu and xu yao.

the people who came today had a good understanding of the jing and xu families and weren’t afraid of them. instead, they were able to talk to them.

after the jing family sat down, jing hanchuan noticed that master xu was standing beside old lady yan. he was probably there to see yan xiansen. he was wearing a suit and rimless glasses, looking very refined.

he was a far cry from the man who had tattooed arms and went to his house to provoke him with bare arms.

“uncle, aunty, you’re here!” the person who walked over was duan linbai. his parents from the duan family had also arrived today, and he wore a black suit in a rare solemn manner.

they greeted each other, and he sat down next to jing hanchuan. he lowered his voice and pointed at master xu …

“master xu is here, did you see?”

he knew that master xu had threatened jing hanchuan before, so he had come over to tease him.

he did not know that master xu was xu yuanfei’s father.

speaking of which, the two of them didn’t look alike at all. even song fengwan, who was very close to them and studied art, couldn’t see any similarities in their facial features.

“yes.”

” fu chen has arranged for you to sit at the same table. be careful later. i heard that master xu is very fierce. ”

jing hanchuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, not saying a word.

” but you’re not the one who’s in the worst situation. master xu seems to have taken a fancy to yan shaochen, a distant relative of the yan family. he keeps asking him what he does and what major he graduated with. it’s like he’s trying to introduce a partner to his daughter. ”

” that kid is in design and has his own studio. he’s doing pretty well and won an international award. i heard that he even got a master’s degree from a university last year. ”

” master xu kept complimenting him and scared the kid. i was dying of laughter. ”

……

at this time, xu yufei was still busy at the back and had no idea that his father wasn’t here to attend the wedding. he was just thinking that since fu chen was a highly educated person, his friends would naturally be good. perhaps there was a suitable high-level intellectual to be his son-in-law?

moreover, the people that fu chen had taken a fancy to recently were naturally not bad in all aspects.

xu yao stood by the side and touched his nose awkwardly. ” his father was here to find a partner for his sister.

just as duan linbai was gossiping about the xu family, jing hanchuan quietly said, ”

“i also have a master’s degree.”

duan linbai was stunned for a few seconds and didn’t react. she heard him say again, ” double master’s. ”

he frowned. even if you graduated with a ph.d., you have nothing to do with the xu family.

besides, he also knows someone who’s about to graduate with a phd. what’s there to be proud of?

jing hanchuan frowned as he looked at the xu family, then at the glass. it was transparent, and there was a slice of fresh lemon in it.

no wonder the water …

it was so sour!
