Chapter 579 Encountering Zhang Wei Again
Tai'an also received a warning from his brother and hurriedly stepped forward, taking Zhang Wei's hand. He also knew about Hua Yan's characteristics.
Sheng Fang noticed Taiji's displeasure and Tai'an's abruptness, and immediately smoothed things over by saying:
"Your name is Zhang Wei, right? Come and sit next to me."
Taiji led Huayan to sit next to Tairan, while Taian pulled Zhang Wei to sit next to Shengfang.
In fact, Hua Yan's handshake with Zhang Wei was intentional, because through the contact, she had already invaded Zhang Wei's mind with a wisp of her divine consciousness.
The last time Hua Yan saw Zhang Wei in Country D, she could tell from her appearance that this girl was no ordinary person and had great ambitions. She didn't see it in her past life because she didn't understand these things.
She was determined to find out what Zhang Wei's purpose was in approaching Tai'an, a girl with such ambition. She also realized that Zhang Wei and Tai'an were not destined for each other, and that Zhang Wei would harm Tai'an, even to the point of taking his life.
Zhang Wei sat next to Sheng Fang, her eyes still fixed on Hua Yan.
Hua Yan smiled innocently and sat down next to Tai Ran.
"Tai'an, tell Mom when you two started dating?"
Sheng Fang started a conversation and casually inquired about her second son's girlfriend.
“Mom, Weiwei and I are colleagues. She is a host, and I am a reporter.”
Tai'an said somewhat shyly.
Hua Yan remembered that in her past life, this Zhang Wei dated a reporter surnamed Jian. She had met this person surnamed Jian when she was giving an interview, but the person looked at her with some hostility.
Hua Yan had no idea what she had done to offend this man surnamed Jian, and she tried to avoid him whenever they met. After all, she was a businesswoman, and it wasn't impossible that these reporters might have ulterior motives and report false news to smear her company. After all, it's easy to spread rumors, but incredibly difficult to refute them.
Later, Hua Yan learned about this man surnamed Jian from the side and found out that he was a reporter for a military program and had nothing to do with her, which put her at ease.
In this life, Zhang Wei didn't date the man surnamed Jian, but instead ended up with Tai'an. Tai'an is also a reporter who works on military programs; perhaps he knows the man surnamed Jian! But Zhang Wei is a host of financial programs, so why are all her partners military program reporters? Is it a coincidence, or is there some connection?
Hua Yan suppressed her questions and focused on eating. With Zhang Wei around, everyone only talked about high-sounding topics.
Tai'an realized that he had been a bit abrupt. After all, his parents must have come to Kyoto for something important, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to bring Zhang Wei here without telling anyone.
Zhang Wei behaved reasonably well, engaging in polite conversation, while Sheng Fang also inquired about her family.
It turns out that Zhang Wei is of Chinese descent from Country D. Her grandfather's generation moved to Country D, and she only returned to work after seeing China's economic opening up.
Zhang Wei's parents both work for the government in Country D and didn't know why she came to China. Her explanation was that, as a person of Chinese descent, she had always had a strong curiosity about China, and therefore, despite her parents' objections, she resolutely returned.
Hua Yan didn't believe a word Zhang Wei said. She wanted An Xin to investigate this person and protect Tai'an.
In his past life, Tai'an suffered a terrible fate under the oppression of Tai Angzhi and Gou Lanju. In this life, he has his own parents and can no longer allow himself to be hurt by those "close" to him.
Sheng Fang couldn't bring up the topic of marriage for the time being, and she wasn't in the mood to talk. However, in order not to leave Zhang Wei out, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and engage in awkward small talk.
Tai Ranzhi and Hua Yan sat together, talking quietly about work. Hua Yan told Tai Ranzhi about her plans, which were nothing more than major events to promote the economy of Shengjing.
Tai Ranzhi's smile never faded when he heard about Hua Yan's plan.
Taiji was in charge of taking care of Huayan, peeling shrimp and serving her food. He didn't say much during the meal, but he was very busy.
As I left the hotel, Jiang Zhang came to see me off.
"Ninth Master, we look forward to your next visit."
Jiang Zhang's eyes were filled with admiration for Hua Yan. Qiu Jiu had told him so many stories about Hua Yan, and he was always deeply moved every time he heard them.
"Okay! Uncle Zhang, you've worked hard."
Hua Yan waved goodbye.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei felt an urgent urge to conduct an exclusive interview with Hua Yan; she wanted to understand this girl in detail.
"Weiwei, let Tai'an take you to his home sometime."
Sheng Fang patted Zhang Wei's hand affectionately. She neither liked nor disliked Zhang Wei; she was just maintaining a polite facade as a stranger.
"Goodbye Auntie, goodbye Uncle. Goodbye Big Brother, goodbye Jiu'er."
Zhang Wei greeted them one by one.
Tai Ran nodded and walked towards Tai Ji's car. Sheng Fang followed behind, and Tai Ji, holding Hua Yan's hand, also followed behind.
Tai'an scratched his head, feeling something was off, and turned around to say:
"Weiwei, let's go. I'll take you home."
Zhang Wei remained standing there, watching Hua Yan's retreating figure.
As soon as she got into the car, Sheng Fang sighed, but said nothing.
Everyone on the bus knew why she sighed, but no one asked why.
"Jiu'er, when we get home, tell me all about your wedding requirements."
Sheng Fang changed the subject; this was what she most wanted to talk about today, but it had been delayed by irrelevant people.
Hehe! They're not exactly strangers, it's just that I can't treat them like family right now. Sheng Fang reassured herself.
"Aunt Sheng, I don't have any requests, just do it your way."
Hua Yan genuinely had no idea what to do; her thought was simply not to have a wedding, to save herself the trouble. Marriage is a matter between two people; involving so many unrelated people and having to create the illusion of being one family is exhausting.
“Mom, Yan’er is right. Just do what you think is right and don’t worry about us.”
Taiji didn't want Huayan to worry about this.
Tai Ran chuckled to himself. This son valued Hua Yan even more than they did. It seemed that Hua Yan would be their ancestor from now on.
Over the next few days, Taiji arranged for someone to take Tairan and Shengfang sightseeing in Kyoto, but they were both too busy to have any time.
Actually, Tai Ranzhi and Sheng Fang also had a lot of things to do. They came to Kyoto because they missed their son and Hua Yan and wanted to spend more time with them.
Sigh! I didn't expect these two to be even busier than them. I only saw them on the first day and when they left.
Tai'an seemed to have been automatically blocked out by them; they didn't even tell him when he left. They knew their son was busy, and besides, they didn't want to see a certain person.
Tai'an wanted to spend time with his parents, but he was unable to. These days, Zhang Wei had been clinging to him and inquiring about Hua Yan from time to time, but he was simply too busy. Despite Zhang Wei's hints, he hadn't been able to find the time to meet with Hua Yan and the others again.
Sheng Fang and Tai Ran returned with their mission, feeling relieved.
-
"Brother, I want to go to Shenzhen to see Uncle Jiu."
Hua Yan saw Sheng Fang and Tai Ran off; she had important business to attend to.
"Okay! I'll go with you."
Taiji is so busy he doesn't even have time to eat, but he still wants to spend more time with Huayan.
"No need, you're so busy. I have something to discuss with Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Miao happens to be there too."
Hua Yan knew that the SARS outbreak in 2003 was only a few months away, and she had to make all sorts of preparations in advance.
She had already anonymously warned Mr. Wang about this matter. Although Mr. Wang is now retired, he still has a voice and takes this matter very seriously.
Mr. Wang attached great importance to this person who anonymously delivered messages, because every message she conveyed was not only accurate but also extremely serious. Therefore, he also took this matter very seriously and has already sent people to the relevant areas to investigate.
