Chapter 882: Inviting Uncle Wu to Go Together
Returning to the car, Wang Yunzhong sat in the driver’s seat and stared at the bright lights in the living room for a long time.
His daughter’s words kept echoing in his mind. Looking at the figure reflected in the window, Wang Yunzhong suddenly started to miss the kind of life when he returned home every night after work, with his wife’s hot food and his children around him.
However, Wang Yunzhong didn’t know if his heart had changed, if his daughter’s words affected him, or if… the brand new Jiang Chunfen had affected him.
The next day, Jian Ai went to a restaurant near Century Mansion after school.
Wang Yunmei called her and said that she would treat Uncle Wu to a meal today because Uncle Wu had been helping with the renovation recently.
Outside the restaurant, Jian Yu’s car was already parked. He had arrived earlier than her.
“Uncle Wu!”
They were not in a private room. As soon as Jian Ai entered the restaurant, she saw a few people sitting inside. She walked forward and greeted Uncle Wu with a smile.
“Xiao Ai is here. Sit!”
Wu Shaoqi was also friendly when he saw Jian Ai. Over the years, they supported each other and had long treated each other as family.
“I haven’t seen Xiao Ai for a long time. The last time was on Xiao Ai’s birthday.” After Jian Ai sat down, Wu Shaoqi looked at her and said, “You seem to have lost some weight.”
Jian Ai smiled and nodded. Wang Yunmei added, “She’s learning martial arts at a martial arts school in North City now. She exercises every day, so she can’t get fat.”
“It’s good to exercise more. Girls can learn some martial arts to protect themselves. Xiao Ai has her views,” Wu Shaoqi said with a smile.
Wang Yunmei nodded in agreement. She turned to Jian Ai and said, “I was talking to your Uncle Wu about going on a trip on the first of October. I wanted him to go with us.”
Jian Ai was stunned. Go together?
Wang Yunmei only remembered after saying this. She slapped her forehead in realization. “Look at me. I forgot to tell you. Mom will go with you on the first of October.”
“Really?” Jian Ai was shocked but then delighted. “Mom, you applied for leave?”
Wang Yunmei smiled and shook her head. “Of course not. The company sent out a notice. On the first of October this year, Yaochi will have a holiday.”
When Jian Ai heard this, she instinctively frowned. It was the same reaction Wang Yunmei had when she first heard this news.
Because for so many years, Yaochi had no holidays except for the New Year.
After all, the club was not like a regular unit. It had to be open every night.
Not only was it a holiday, but it was also the first of October. It was no wonder Jian Ai would overthink.
Something was wrong. This was too similar to something Ji Haoyu would do.
“Old Wu, come with us. It’s time to go out and see the world after so many years. It’s lively with more people.” Wang Yunmei started to persuade Wu Shaoqi again.
Jian Yu also said, “Yes, Uncle Wu. Let’s go together. It’s a rare opportunity.”
Wu Shaoqi thought about it. This was a rare opportunity. After all, Wang Yunmei didn’t always have a holiday.
In the end, he nodded. “That’s fine. I have a passport and everything.”
“That’s great. I’ll ask Xiao Ai to book our plane tickets later. There are only a few days left, so acquiring plane tickets for the holidays would be tight,” Wang Yunmei said.
Halfway through, Jian Ai walked out of the restaurant with her phone.
“Did you give Yaochi a holiday?”
As soon as the call went through, Jian Ai asked.
