Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: Engagement
One day, while the couple was having dinner together, "Yuanyuan, a few people have come from the Capital."
"Anything special about them?"
"Yeah, the report we received about them is different from ordinary people, and they’ve met quite a few individuals."
"What do you think?" Tan Shaoting wouldn’t mention this without a reason.
"I think there might be some issues. They’re very high-profile, almost as if they’re trying to attract my attention."
"What’s the purpose? After being noticed, do they want to meet some big shots?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "That’s the feeling I get."
The matter was set aside just like that. But a few days later, Secretary Xu reported that someone was getting close to the Li Family, particularly those few who were being watched.
Su Yuanyuan thought to herself, could it be that those people want to meet their family? That would be something new. What kind of people want to see them?
"Keep an eye on them, let them handle it themselves."
Tan Shaoting also knew about this matter; he thought it couldn’t be that simple. And indeed, those people might want to meet their family!
What’s worth attracting the attention of these people about their family? And coming with such high-profile actions.
Their personal information was already known, and frankly speaking, they’re quite influential figures themselves.
But what are they doing here? Wanting to meet the couple, which just doesn’t seem feasible.
They’re all about routines. Maybe that’s why they thought of this method?
No matter what they’re thinking, they have no time over here.
As February rolled in, time seemed to fly by exceptionally fast. There were more and more things happening outside.
What delighted Su Yuanyuan the most was that two companies had already begun preparations, and by the end of the year, they’d start construction.
For them now, it truly is the best news.
Another company would be coming in the second half of the year. No one is foolish when there are incentives; businessmen chase profits, so naturally, they wouldn’t miss it.
External companies are moving in, while domestic development is also abundant.
This time, Su Yuanyuan provided significant support. Anyway, everywhere seems prosperous this year.
Xu Guozhi is pleased. The ordinary folks are getting real benefits.
At the representatives’ conference, Su Yuanyuan was praised and gave a speech.
There are people who appreciate her, and those who don’t look up to her; the smart ones are just waiting. There’s always some troublemakers jumping around.
When it comes to such people, Su Yuanyuan never pays attention. Let them do as they please; she doesn’t have time to deal with them now.
By the lunar third month, which is May, things happened again over in Japan.
It was something she had arranged earlier; just couldn’t let them be idle, or they’ll stir things up.
The data they brought back had very significant breakthroughs.
Especially regarding firepower. It truly was a qualitative leap, making one feel more confident.
Su Yuanyuan stayed busy and very fulfilled, while Zeng Hongling was also extremely busy.
Zeng Yaozu decided that Zeng Yixin and Shen Yuexing would get engaged; the two had a nine-year age gap. Zeng Yixin didn’t oppose, but he did feel a bit embarrassed.
The girl was only seventeen, while he was already twenty-six.
However, he was already of such an age, so he listened to his family’s elders.
The girl Shen Yuexing was actually nice, gentle in personality, and genuinely cared for her grandfather and father.
Shen Yuexing had no objections either; she was an orphan, and it was the Zeng Family that gave her protection, living with the two elders for so many years.
Although in outsiders’ eyes, she was somewhat like the Zeng Family’s maid, the Zeng Family members all worked; she wasn’t like other maids.
She was truly grateful to the Zeng Family, already seventeen and grown up. Being with Zeng Yixin was also acceptable, which repaid the Zeng Family and found herself a home.
As the eldest sister, Zeng Hongling was very busy, preparing her brother’s engagement banquet.
Here, engagement signified Shen Yuexing was already part of the Zeng Family.
Yang Liulang was also quite busy; the future head of the Zeng Family was getting engaged, and neighbors from all around would participate.
On the fifth of May, the Zeng Family held fifty tables, all friends from the city.
Yang Jiulang had been married for two years, and they already had a child.
"Yixin, you’ve found yourself a young bride."
Zeng Yixin didn’t want to respond to Yang Jiulang, who spoke without thinking.
There were too many guests; Zhan Yunzhao and Wei Guangxiang both came.
Wei Guangxiang was just waiting for Zeng Yixin to get engaged; otherwise, he would’ve returned to the Capital.
The junior brothers seemed to have vanished into thin air, without any news. They’ve been searched for several months.
It was very lively, and many envied Shen Yuexing.
But they also knew the Shen Family used to be a notable family. If it was before, the two families would have matched well. But it’s not the case now; the Shen Family only has this little girl left.
Neither of them loved the other. In public, they seemed familiar, but lacked that sweetness.
Zeng Hongling once discussed this with her brother, and he had no objections.
Looking at him, really didn’t know what to say.
Later she thought about her and Yang Liulang once being like that. Now they are very close to each other.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. For many years, she truly liked Shen Yuexing, a gentle and kind girl, who genuinely cared for her grandfather and father as well as them.
Maybe Shen Yuexing considered them as family long ago.
After the engagement feast ended, Shen Yuexing’s status changed, but she still lived at the Zeng Family.
That night, the family dined together. Zeng Yaozu was all smiles, "Yixin, Little Yue, Little Yue will be eighteen by the end of the year, we’ll get you both married in the twelfth month."
Shen Yuexing nodded with a smile; she was alone, so could decide for herself.
Zeng Yixin also nodded; once he decided, he wouldn’t regret it.
This made Zeng Yaozu even happier. So after marriage and then a great-grandson, it would be perfect.
Wei Guangxiang put down his chopsticks, "Mr. Zeng, I’m heading back."
"Alright then, if they can’t be found, there’s nothing we can do. Judging by the traces around, they probably left on their own, perhaps went into hiding.
Don’t worry. We’ll keep an eye out. If there’s news, we’ll surely inform you."
"Thank you, Mr. Zeng."
"No need for thanks. Also, go back and see how your master’s uncle is doing?"
"The family is already declining. Life isn’t good."
Mostly because they lack virtue, doing anything and everything. Some things they luckily acquired can’t even be sold, and several family members have already been lost.
They still don’t know how to restrain themselves; it’s impossible not to decline. When I went back, I didn’t even see them; just investigated some situations there, and they don’t know I ever returned."
