Chapter 1432: Concern
"Yang Xiuqin, don’t get too cocky. I’ll find out if you’re really married when I get back."
"Whatever, whether I’m married or not is none of your business."
"I heard you had twins? It’s worth investigating the source of these children."
Yang Xiuqin wouldn’t be intimidated by her. Although she was scared inside, she didn’t show it on her face.
"Whatever."
Seeing her like this, Pan Xiaoying also felt unsure. Could it be that Yang Xiuqin really got married and divorced? But she hadn’t heard anything about it?
Having gained nothing, Pan Xiaoying left in a huff.
Yang Xiuqin felt unsettled, hurriedly returning home at noon.
She gathered her two children from next door. Looking at their beautiful faces, she resolved to live a good life with them. If things didn’t work out, she would just leave this place.
She could go to the Capital as well; there was a house there for her family. She could live there just the same.
She knew Pan Xiaoying would definitely ask around, and she couldn’t hide the fact of having children for long. But having had no contact with anyone else, Pan Xiaoying wouldn’t find out much even if she tried. So, she just let her be.
Meanwhile, Tao Chunhe and the others, four adults and two kids, also returned home.
Mr. Tao, seeing the two robust twins, smiled from ear to ear.
"Good, these two kids are good. Meng Lin, Manjiang won’t be able to come for another few days."
"Will he really be able to come?"
"Yes, the holiday is quite long. I think he would still want to come home to see us."
"I really can’t go back now. Never mind anything else, but if we get caught in the heavy snow on the way back with two kids so young, what then?"
"Right, let’s call and check in with them when the time comes."
Yang Zhongyi sat obediently on the side. He knew this elder well, knew he was a formidable figure, and felt a bit nervous in his presence.
In the evening, Dad and Mrs. Tao came back.
All afternoon, Mr. Tao hadn’t spoken a word to Yang Zhongyi.
In the evening, Mrs. Tao was quite agreeable. She was quite warm toward Yang Zhongyi.
After dinner, the three men of the Tao Family went into the study. Mrs. Tao pulled Yang Zhongyi to chat.
All afternoon, Yang Zhongyi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Finally, someone was talking to him, so he behaved very properly.
In the study, the two men of the Tao Family learned about Tao YanZhen’s situation.
"So Xiao Zhen doesn’t mind who it’s with?" Mr. Tao asked his son, frowning.
"That’s what she told me. And she certainly seems to behave that way too."
"What’s so special about that rural youth?" asked Mr. Tao’s grandson.
"Not bad, he’s honest, simple, and decent. His looks are indeed quite good. And the young couple seems to have a strong bond."
"That’s quite disappointing. If she had the idea before, why didn’t she act on it?"
Tao Chunhe looked at his grandfather speechlessly. Could he really be saying that?
"How’s that Yang family boy?"
"Not bad, after getting along for so long, he’s quite a decent person. Most importantly, he doesn’t have any bad habits."
"Alright then, if Xiao Zhen is willing, let it be.
We found a girl for you; she’s the daughter of the number two over there, well-educated and quite good-looking." Mr. Tao announced.
"Understood."
"Meet her tomorrow. If things work out, you’ll marry her in the next few days and take her with you when you go back; you two will live there."
"Will the girl agree?"
"It’s already been discussed, and she agreed."
"Alright, I understand."
As long as there aren’t any major issues, he would agree to it.
Actually, Dad wanted to ask his son if he had met anyone he liked, but ultimately didn’t. Sons and daughters are different, Xiao Chun would have to uphold the Yang Family in the future.
"Go call Yang Zhongyi in."
In the living room, only the mother and her children remained. Yang Ma cradled the twins lovingly. Having her daughter, son, and niece back home, she was exceedingly happy.
"Auntie, which family’s daughter did you arrange for my cousin? Do we know her?"
"She’s the second daughter of the Liu Family, raised in the old home, like an ancient lady of elegance. She seems reasonable, but she’s not the real mother, so they don’t get along and thus kept her at the old home.
Xiao Chun, meet her tomorrow. If you really don’t like her, then leave it. There are also daughters from the two families. Although it’s not openly spoken, we all understand."
"Mom, Grandpa and Dad must think the second daughter of the Liu Family is better, right?"
"Yes. They favor that girl. Xiao Chun, see for yourself tomorrow. Grandpa learned Meng Lin has two sons and got anxious."
"Yeah, I got it. Don’t worry, I know what to do." Grandpa and Dad favored her, so she must have her strengths. Since that’s the case, there’s no reason to disagree.
After that, it was just about their circumstances outside. Of course, they only shared good news, not worrying news.
Everyone knew this well. They knew that what’s spoken about was only the good side. But still, they hoped to hear it from their children.
In the study, Yang Zhongyi answered questions from the two men, his responses orderly.
Two hours later, he finally came out of the study, feeling exhausted. Their presence was overwhelming, almost unbearable.
The housekeeper had already prepared their rooms. So today, everyone went to rest early.
Wang Menglin soothed the two children to sleep and lay in her old bedroom, filled with emotion. She had returned once again. She never asked about the man’s situation, though she guessed it wasn’t too good, considering her letter must have rendered him helpless.
Tao YanZhen lay in bed, suddenly feeling everything was wrong, terribly uncomfortable and extremely unfamiliar.
She didn’t close her eyes all night, replaying the events before leaving over and over.
The next morning, the three men from the Tao Family and Yang Zhongyi exercised together.
They already agreed to accept Yang Zhongyi. It was now about observing him from all aspects.
After breakfast, the Tao Family of four went out, while Tao YanZhen took Yang Zhongyi out. No matter what, they had already made their decision. It was agreed the day before that after Tao Chunhe gets married, the two will return to the Capital to meet the Yang family.
Wang Menglin was home alone with the two children, letting them run wild in the yard.
Watching them, Wang Menglin felt her bad mood improving. She had no time to think of those troublesome things.
When the Tao Family arrived at the Liu Family’s, after the two young people met, Tao Chunhe thought the girl indeed seemed nice. Gentle, composed, also quite pretty, just based on looks, he couldn’t raise any objections.
