“Don’t let his parents keeping to the city to see him and bother him. His siblings understand that he’s the highest earner in the family. If his parents keep bothering him, it will affect his earnings and also be a loss for them.”
After a moment of silence, He Yuehua continued, “My own parents are pretty much the same way. I understand, and I can handle the conflicts.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Dr. Zeng.”
They were both adults; they had made their own choices and wouldn’t regret them.
Zeng Xiaoya said, “It’s good that you’ve thought it through.”
The two didn’t have a deep rtionship, just a basic understanding. Zeng Xiaoya’s reminders were well-intentioned, offered from a woman’s perspective.
Whether the other listened or not, Zeng Xiaoya wouldn’t say anything more.
After a while, the food arrived.
The two ate and chatted.
He Yuehua did most of the talking, about her future life with Dr. Lin.
Zeng Xiaoya asionally chimed in, mostly offering her blessings.
Regardless of whether He Yuehua would regret itter, she had chosen Dr. Lin, the man she had admired for many years. Zeng Xiaoya was willing to offer her sincere blessings that they had finally tied the knot.
After the meal, He Yuehua took an invitation from her bag.
She handed it to Zeng Xiaoya, smiling, “Dr. Zeng, actually, Dr. Lin and I have already set a wedding date. I came to see you today mainly to give you an invitation.”
He Yuehua hadn’t immediately given it to Zeng Xiaoya when she first saw her because she was somewhat worried. Now, after talking for so long, she waspletely certain that Zeng Xiaoya genuinely wished her and Dr. Lin well.
She felt relieved.
Dr. Lin would soon be her husband.
From then on, he would only be He Yuehua’s man.
Zeng Xiaoya took the invitation, opened it, and saw that the wedding date was during the winter break, close to the Chinese New Year.
She asked, “Will your wedding be held in Dr. Lin’s hometown or in the city?”
“I’m not familiar with the hotel for your wedding banquet, I don’t know where it is,”
He Yuehua replied. “It’s a wedding in his hometown, this hotel is in his hometown town, and his hometown isn’t too far from mine. Rtives from both families will gather together for a meal and drinks.”
The wedding banquet would only be held in Dr. Lin’s hometown, not again in He Yuehua’s hometown, since the two families weren’t far apart.
Rtives from both sides were invited to the hotel in town for dinner.
“Dr. Zeng, can youe?”
Zeng Xiaoya said, “I can’t say for sure right now. If I can’t take time off, I’ll send you a red envelope, but I won’t be there.”
“If I can take time off, I’lle to have a drink and witness your happiness.”
She and Dr. Lin hadn’t be enemies.
Zeng Xiaoya didn’t give a definitive answer, but she also didn’t give He Yuehua a definite one.
There was still more than a month to go, and she couldn’t say for sure.
