Chapter Seventy-Two: The Head Is Big
"Is it because of Uncle Tang's illness?" Zhang Jiao asked.
Chu Yan put her hands behind her head and nodded her chin, confirming Zhang Jiao's guess, "The doctor said that Uncle Tang's condition has deteriorated, and it won't be long.
Tang Yun discussed with me if we could advance the engagement date a little earlier, and I agreed. β
"Are you happy, then?" Zhang Jiao doesn't care about anything else, she cares more about Chu Yan's mood.
She landed on her toes, turned the chair chair in a direction to face Chu Yan, and used her feet to brake against the chair's rotational inertia.
"Why are you upset?" Chu Yan looked back puzzled, "In my opinion, whether you are engaged or not, you are getting along with Tang Yun, and this will not cause me pressure." β
As if guessing her thoughts, Chu Yan smiled again, "You don't think that I agreed to Tang Yun's marriage proposal because I was forced by moral concepts, right?" β
Zhang Jiao tilted her head, she did have a trace of this thought, afraid that Chu Yan would agree because Uncle Tang dragged his sick body to ask for marriage, and she couldn't bear it and couldn't refuse it.
"You want more! I have a good relationship with Tang Yun, and if I didn't want to, who would have kidnapped me morally. β
Chu Yan shook her feet comfortably, Tang Yun has been showing his goodness with actions, and she has nothing to be reluctant to.
"That's for the best!" Zhang Jiao retracted her feet, turned the chairlift back to its original position, and even played on the swing.
The rings rubbed against the pole and creaked, bringing the time silently into August.
Chu Yan's engagement was from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the beginning of August in the Gregorian calendar, about a month in advance.
Finally, it is set on August 3rd, which is an auspicious day for marriage.
Zhang Yun specially asked Mr. Feng Shui to calculate, and Mr. Feng Shui said that the third was the most suitable day in early August.
The engagement banquet is also scheduled to be held at Zhang Jiao's Ningguo Hotel.
First, because Ningguo Hotel is the top hotel in Hong Kong City, it is more decent to hold an engagement banquet here.
Second, because the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, you can't go to the restaurant of the outsider to book a banquet for your family's happy event!
On August 3rd, Ningguo Hotel was lit up.
Zhang Jiao specially instructed Brother Zhou that the Hong Kong Island head office will not accept outside customers today, and will only accept this business.
She came over early in the morning.
As the woman's sisters, she and Chu Chan have a glorious and arduous task todayβββ receive female guests.
Sitting in the hall, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but yawn.
"Didn't sleep last night, did you?" Chu Chan didn't sleep well either, she got up in the morning and was worried about lack of energy and poured herself a large cup of coffee.
Zhang Jiao snorted, wiped the tears brought out by the yawning with a tissue, "I didn't fall asleep all night, and I got up when I was bright." β
She couldn't tell why she hadn't fallen asleep, anyway, she had been lying in bed for a long time last night before she fell asleep in a daze.
"It's not, I said before that I would hold a banquet at night, but I didn't listen to me, and now I haven't slept enough."
Chu Chan was hooked by Zhang Jiao and yawned, and began to complain unconsciously.
"Don't talk about these useless things, Yeonyan's big day! You don't say anything nice, it's unlucky! Zhang Jiao hammered her and asked her to say something auspicious.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, bah! Childlike words! β
"You're embarrassed to say fairy tales, shameless!"
Chu Chan was thick-skinned, "Twenty-three-year-old children! β
"By the way, where did Yeon-yeon go? We're all here, why haven't we seen her? Chu Chan twisted her head and looked around.
Zhang Jiaobai glanced at her, "Are you stupid, you didn't bring your brains when you went out in the morning?" She's talking to the elders! Aren't the elders of these two families entertained by her! β
Chu Chan knocked on her chaotic brain, and finally remembered the arrangements she had made before, "Lack of sleep, forget about this." β
Arranged yesterday, she and Zhang Jiao received the daughter of the work partner's family. The aunt received the female elders, and Chu Yan greeted the female relatives of the Chu and Tang families in the lounge.
She hadn't slept well, and she had some fragmented memories.
Zhang Jiao was speechless, and was just about to say a few words to her, when a voice came in from outside the hall.
"The guests are here, cheer up!"
Before she finished speaking, a guest entered the banquet hall.
When they saw Zhang Jiao and Chu Chan, they immediately surrounded them enthusiastically.
"Ouch, Miss Zhang hasn't seen you for a long time! You're still so beautiful and radiant! β
"Miss Zhang, are you single now? Do you have a favorite? Why don't I introduce you? I know a wonderful young man who is a perfect match for you! β
"Miss Chu is really young and promising! I heard that you're already an inspector, ouch, that's amazing! β
"yes, I heard your mom say that you have a boyfriend too? Then you've got to hold on! Don't miss it. β
"How can you say all this, if you want me to say, to be a man is to be independent, and women must be even more independent! Miss Zhang, I heard that you recently set up a company, what do you do? Do you see that there is a shortage of investment? I just have a little money......"
Zhang Jiao's head was so big when she heard it, she really wanted to escape!
Chu Chan is not much better, but she can still hold on, and she can say with her mouth, and she has taken all the words of the guests.
"Generally, without your children's excellence, my work has just improved, and it is really not worth mentioning."
"I'm a boyfriend to talk to, so I'm not in a hurry! I heard that your child also brought his girlfriend home some time ago, when will he get married? Early next year? Yo, that's a real fight! β
Zhang Jiao looked at Chu Chan with admiration who talked about people and talked nonsense, this is the charm of the inspector!
Loved, loved!
Zhang Jiao chatted with this group of ladies and ladies "in full swing", and finally had a banquet, and Zhang Jiao happily led everyone to sit down as if she was relieved.
Then quickly slipped to the lounge to hide.
She gently closed the door to the lounge, moving her jaw bones to relax her muscles while rubbing her stiff cheeks vigorously.
These ladies are so good at talking!
Chu Chan followed closely behind her, unscrewed the door of the lounge, and saw her mouth open, rubbing her face frantically with her hands.
Crying and laughing, he said, "Don't you just smile and talk to people, what's this, look at your uncompetitive appearance!" β
Zhang Jiao was startled by her sudden opening, and was scolded again, very unhappy.
"I'm just not used to it!" Zhang Jiao is soft and coquettish. She also doesn't like to talk to people she doesn't have a lot of friends with.
Chu Chan reached out softly and rubbed her cheeks, "Hold on for a while, it'll be good if the people disperse after eating." β
"yes, I know." Zhang Jiao nodded, "I don't know how there are so many rules, it's not good to be simple!" β
It's an engagement again, it's a marriage again, and there are countless ways to get into the door.
These alone are enough for Zhang Jiao to not want to get married.
"Passed down from our ancestors! Some things naturally have their meaning, just think about it from a different perspective. β
Zhang Jiao said she couldn't figure it out.
"By the way, when will you and Meng Pu do it? I knew it would be better for you to do it together! I can suffer one less sin. β
Chu Yan was so angry that she screwed her, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I'm engaged to get married, and you're sinned! You deserve a beating! β
Zhang Jiao admitted, "I was wrong! I was wrong! Why didn't Meng Pu come today? Isn't this the time for him to show his sovereignty? β
"He's coming! However, this time we are here as a guest, and we have not officially met the parents, so we can't let him come over to help, which is not appropriate. β
And Chu Chan felt that she and Meng Pu were different from Yanyan and Tang Yun, they had known each other for a short time, and they needed time to run in.
If you want to go further, you still have a way to go.
Zhang Jiao was puzzled, "Then why didn't you take him to meet his parents?" Doesn't the ugly son-in-law want to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law? β
Chu Chan was a little weak-hearted, Meng Pu did say that she was going to visit her parents, but she pushed it back.
"Let's wait a while, wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival and take him home. And even if we meet our parents, it's still early for us! Be of good cheer, for the day of your sins is far away. β
She could see Zhang Jiao's evil intentions at a glance.
Zhang Jiaoyi waved her hand solemnly, "What are you talking about!" I'm concerned about the progress of your relationship, and I'm worried about you! β
"Huh!" Chu Chan sneered, "Then you wait!" I'm still early with him! When I get promoted, I can pressure him to talk about the engagement. β
Zhang Jiao glanced at her sympathetically, "Then I guess I have to wait." β
"He's your boss, is it possible that if he doesn't get promoted, he can still let you be promoted first? Just think about it and know it's impossible. β
"That's not the rush, that's all!" Chu Chan shrugged indifferently, she didn't worry about getting married!
Zhang Jiao spread her hands, "Okay, okay, you're not in a hurry." I'm in a hurry! β
The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!
"Let's go, let's go eat, aren't you hungry!" Chu Chan walked towards the restaurant with her arms in her arms funny.
Her stomach was already rumbling.
Zhang Jiao was directly on Chu Chan's shoulder, and she didn't want to put the weight of her whole body on Chu Chan cheekily. "I saw so many people at the table, I didn't want to eat."
She was a little big when she saw a lot of people!
Chu Chan cooperated and half-hugged this slacker, and complained in her mouth, "You are a paper tiger, you will play prestige in front of us!" β
"Slightly! I'm a paper tiger and I'm proud! β
Chu Chan was speechless, "...... Idiot! What are you afraid of when you sit at the main table? Aren't they all people you know? β
Zhang Jiao thought about it, she is a person who is qualified to sit at the main table!
This relaxed thought instantly swelled when she returned to the banquet hall and saw Chu Yan shuttling between the guests with exquisite and ease.
There is a contrast, and it really seems that he is happier.
Zhang Jiao patted her chest, fortunately she was not the one who was engaged!
Thank you all for your votes! Thanks for your support!
