Chapter 372: "Then... I will let Uncle. F.... Dad know. " (2)
It wasn’t a big deal even if she was to go to City Xi. Never mind that Shu Youfu and Lin Zixiang didn’t go to the city very often, even if they were, City Xi was so big that the chances of them running into each other was quite slim.
Speaking of City Xi, she hadn’t spoken with Shu Jianyang for a while. Shu Yan wondered how the road building was coming along.
“Oh, the busy one finally has time to give me a call?” teased Shu Jianyang.
“No need to mock me Third Brother. Aren’t you even busier than I am?” Shu Jianyang’s business was going up and up. Shu Yan had some ideas about it and felt that his path was fairly similar to Ye Zhiqiang’s original path. He might end up replacing Ye Zhiqiang as the richest man in City Xi.
“I was going to give you a call today even if you hadn’t called me first,” said Shu Jianyang with a happy look. “I am getting married.”
Shu Yan, on her end of the call, was taken aback a little. Getting married? She totally did not see that coming.
“How come you never mentioned that you have a girlfriend?”
“You never asked. Besides, have you ever told me about your boyfriend?” asked Shu Jianyang disgruntledly.
“How did you find out about that?” Now Shu Yan was truly surprised.
“I called you up yesterday and Tianbao answered the phone. He told me that you went out with Uncle Fang. Isn’t that obvious? What does he do for a living? How old is he? What’s his family like? Do his parents agree to this?” These questions had been brooding in him overnight and now he fired them like a machine gun.
As much as Shu Jianyang felt that he had the best sister in the world but he still could not deny the truth. Shu Yan was a divorced woman with two children. There was a difference between her and a single girl who had never been wedded.
The man might be okay with it but what about his family? How was his family? Were they after Shu Yan’s money? Would his parents be easy to get along with?
Now that Shu Jianyang had already found out, Shu Yan had no longer need to hide anything. She said with a smile. “His name is Feng Zeyu. He’s 36 years old. His parents are not together and his relationship with his father is so-so. He lives by himself and owns a private security company. He is fine financially. He’s a nice guy and is nice to both me and the children. Don’t worry. I’ve known him for quite a while. I made sure of it before we started dating.”
Meaning to say that there would be no mother-in-law. He had a poor relationship with his father and stepmother, so that was pretty much equivalent to no father-in-law and stepmother-in-law. He was financially sound and nice to Shu Yan and the kids. The only distraction was that he was 10 years older than Shu Yan. Shu Jianyang felt that that wasn’t too bad. An older man was better at doting and also more comprehensive when looking at matters. That was quite nice.
“Let’s not talk about me anymore. Tell me about you. When did you start dating this girl? How old is she? What does she do?” asked Shu Yan.
When talking about his future wife, Shu Jianyang became tender and had a happy smile on his face.
“Your Third Sister-in-Law’s name is Li Miaomiao. She’s 26 years old, same age as you. Graduated from a teacher’s training program. She teaches grade school. Last time when I was arrested, I thought one of my men had done something. Even though nothing came out of it but I was still scared. I am doing business legitimately now and making decent money. It would be a bummer if I get thrown into jail for no reasons. I went looking for my men afterward and I ran into Miaomiao running into a pickpocket so I caught him for her. That was how we met. Then she took me out to lunch……”
It was around JingJing’s final examinations time when Shu Youfu made a police report. That was at most three months before now. That was fast.
