Chapter 529 - 528: Nothing Could Be More Serious
Chapter 529: Chapter 528: Nothing Could Be More Serious
Huang Yanquan saw how enthusiastic Mrs. Zeng was and naturally greeted her with a smile.
Once everyone sat down to eat, Mrs. Zeng, full of curiosity, began to ask Huang Yanquan about his situation, "Mr. Huang, you are truly young and promising. So young, yet you’ve already achieved so much in your career. I don’t think you are very old, are you married?"
"Not yet."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zeng’s face lit up, and she said, "Ah, so you’re not married yet. Do you have a partner?"
"Not at the moment."
As Huang Yanquan spoke, he gave Ding Yuejun a deep look.
Seeing this, Ding Yuejun immediately lowered her head, her face blush red, and she was slightly flustered, worried that Huang Yanquan might say something inappropriate.
However, no one noticed Ding Yuejun at that moment, as Mrs. Zeng’s full attention was on Huang Yanquan and she was delighted to hear that he didn’t even have a girlfriend.
"Oh, Mr. Huang, it’s such a pity that a fine young man like you still doesn’t have a partner. I have a niece, and she’s really beautiful. She’s also single, why don’t I give her a call and have her come to Shangjing? Perhaps you two could meet."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun furrowed her brows tightly and immediately said, "That might be a bit inconvenient."
Huang Yanquan had originally planned to refuse, but when he heard Ding Yuejun’s remark, he couldn’t help but smile, his eyes full of amusement.
It seemed that all his efforts over such a long time hadn’t been in vain. Yue Jun should still care about him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have reacted so strongly upon hearing someone trying to introduce a partner to him.
But Mrs. Zeng, on the side, said, "What’s so inconvenient about that? All it takes is one phone call from me, and my niece will come over immediately. If you’re worried about the distance between them, then let’s find a job for her in Shangjing."
Towards the end, Mrs. Zeng turned to Ding Yuejun and said, "By the way, Yue Jun, I heard your clothing store is doing quite well. How about letting my niece work there? It would be a perfect solution."
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun’s expression turned colder, and she said directly, "I don’t currently need any more staff in my store."
"You..."
Seeing Ding Yuejun consistently oppose her, Mrs. Zeng couldn’t help but become somber.
Zeng Jiahe quickly chimed in from the side, "Mom, do you think Mr. Huang would be interested in Xiao Lan? Let’s not make a joke of ourselves here."
"What’s wrong with Xiao Lan? Xiao Lan is very pretty."
However, Mrs. Zeng glanced at Yiyi and then at Ding Yuejun. Compared to this stunningly beautiful mother and daughter, her niece was indeed rather average in appearance, but she remained confident.
"In general, Xiao Lan doesn’t look bad."
With that, she looked towards Huang Yanquan with a smile and said, "Mr. Huang, you’re surely not someone who judges others by looks, right?"
Huang Yanquan directly stated, "Although I don’t have a partner at the moment, I have someone I like and am pursuing, so I don’t need anyone to introduce someone to me."
At this point, Mrs. Zeng stopped saying more, looking a bit disappointed.
This Huang Yanquan is such a great catch, but he already has someone he likes.
Meanwhile, Zeng Jiahe felt embarrassed seeing his mother like this.
Since coming to Shangjing, his mother’s actions had indeed been somewhat unappealing, but she was still his mother, so he couldn’t really say anything.
Over on the side, Mo Xiaohong was already blushing with embarrassment. Her mother-in-law used to be quite sensible, so what had gotten into her lately?
When the meal ended, Mo Xiaohong apologized profusely to Ding Yuejun, "Mom, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know my mother-in-law would say those things. I hope it didn’t cause any trouble for your business?"
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun quickly waved her hand and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t cause me any trouble."
"Mom, ever since we arrived in Shangjing, we’ve been too much trouble for you."
Seeing Mo Xiaohong’s face full of embarrassment, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but smile and said, "It’s alright, it’s rare for you to visit, you should enjoy yourselves. As for your mother-in-law’s words, don’t take them to heart."
"Mom, don’t worry, we’ll be going back in a couple of days, so you won’t have to be troubled anymore."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun said, "Xiao Hong, there’s no need to rush. Since you’re here, you should take your time and explore Shangjing before heading back."
"Mom, in just a couple more days, we will have seen almost everything. Besides, Yiyi has to go back to school, and I don’t want to impose on her any further, especially since you’re so busy."
She had indeed noticed how busy Ding Yuejun was, and the longer she stayed, the more she felt like an imposition.
"Xiao Hong, please don’t let your mother-in-law’s behavior influence you to leave early. Besides, Yiyi has already planned a route, so just follow along with her and enjoy yourselves without overthinking other things." After saying this, she patted her hand and took her to the front.
By this time, the rest of the Zeng family had already returned to their dwelling, while Huang Yanquan was sitting in the living room with Old Master Ding, having tea. When he saw Ding Yuejun return, he immediately stood up.
Old Master Ding saw Huang Yanquan’s actions and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, though he said nothing. He simply turned to his eldest daughter and said, "Yue Jun, ask someone to cut some fruit for us so I can have a good chat with Mr. Huang."
Hearing this, Ding Yuejun naturally nodded.
Meanwhile, Mo Xiaohong said from the side, "Mom, I’ll head back first then."
Ding Yuejun nodded with a smile, but then she looked around and, not seeing her daughter, couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, where’s Yiyi?"
Old Master Ding directly replied, "Something came up at the pharmaceutical factory, so Yiyi went over there first."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun frowned and said, "So late, and there’s still something going on at the factory?" But she knew the factory required her daughter’s decisions, so she shook her head and went to prepare the fruit.
After Ding Yuejun left, Old Master Ding fixed his gaze on Huang Yanquan and said, "What exactly are your intentions? Are you serious about Yue Jun?"
Hearing this, Huang Yanquan immediately straightened up, and with a serious expression, he nodded and said, "Mr. Ding, I am serious."
Old Master Ding snorted and said, "Haha... serious? Have you considered getting married to Yue Jun? Yue Jun isn’t young anymore, and she doesn’t have time to play games with you."
"Mr. Ding, I couldn’t be any more serious. I’ve thought about our future, and if Yue Jun is willing, we would naturally get married."
Hearing this, Old Master Ding was somewhat skeptical, "Is that really what you think?"
"Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. I’ve also considered that if Yue Jun doesn’t want to follow me to Hong Kong, I can stay in Shangjing, and I would shift my business focus over here."
