Chapter 016 Wedding Date_1

The reason why Zhou Yongxian was so insistent on having Jiang Nanfei as her granddaughter-in-law, apart from their childhood friendship, was that Jiang Nanfei was incredibly beautiful. She had seen many beauties and was well-known for her beauty in her youth. But even she paled when compared to Jiang Nanfei. Nobody else was able to combine alluring yet not vulgar, flirtatious but transcending the worldly, as well as her.

Those pin-up girls on the calendars were either too gaudy and vulgar or too aloof and transcendental. At such a young age, Nan Fei was unknowingly revealing her innate charm, and in time, she would definitely shine brightly.

Her grandson, Zhou Yongxian, deserved the best woman.

"Nan Fei, whatever request you have, granny will fulfill it."

"I hope we can get married after I go to university." The date of the marriage in her previous life was set too hurriedly, and with the constant family disputes, no one took care of Jiang Zhuanzhuan. The tragic death of Jiang Zhuanzhuan on the wedding day was a painful memory for the whole family.

She just wanted to push back the date of the wedding to a year later, which would give her more time and would also prevent Jiang Zhuanzhuan's tragedy.

As for whether she would really marry Huo Beijiang a year later? At least then she would have the right to decide for herself.

The guests in the hall looked at each other, their expressions clearly showing their annoyance. It was no wonder she agreed so readily just now, she was waiting for this moment!

If she had created a big scene, they could have been more assertive. But now that Nan Fei was being reasonable, they felt like they were punching into cotton, not meeting any resistance.

"So sister, what do you think?" Guan Rufang passed the decision onto Zhou Yongxian. It was she who had just agreed with Nan Fei. Whether or not they could bring their granddaughter-in-law home earlier also depended on her.

Zhou Yongxian thought for a moment, not angry, but rather pleased that this young girl had become smarter. "Alright! I agree with you. But can we bring the date forward a bit?"

Zhou Yongxian's face softened as she let out a vivacious smile. "I checked the lunar calendar when I came, and the 28th of the twelfth lunar month this year is a good day. We can set it!"

"Granny Huo, that's too soon..."

Nan Fei was just about to speak when Guan Rufang interrupted her, "Enough! The rest is not something you, a little girl, should be concerned about! You should be ashamed."

"Oh! Well, you guys continue talking."

Jiang Nanfei politely left the living room. She immediately saw Zhuanzhuan squatting at the door. As soon as she saw her come out, she promptly went over to meet her.

"Sis."

"What's the matter, Zhuanzhuan?" Nanfei noticed that Zhuanzhuan seemed a bit off today.

"Are you really going to marry Huo Beijiang? But you..." Jiang Zhuanzhuan lowered her head, hesitating to speak, "Didn't you say that you would rather die than let an arranged marriage ruin your happiness?"

Jian Nanfei chuckled. In her past life, she had indeed thought so, but reality gave her a stern slap in the face. "Zhuanzhuan." She spoke earnestly, "What sister said before was out of anger. Don't take it seriously. Huo Beijiang is a good person. Some things are not all his fault."

After letting go of her inner burden, she realized how radical she had once been, pushing all the blame onto Huo Beijiang.

As the sky darkened, the people of the Huo family were anxiously waiting for Granny Huo's return.

"Linong, go and see where mom is. Didn't she say she was visiting friends? Why hasn't she returned yet?" Yuan Xueshan urged. "If she doesn't come back soon, the food will get cold."

Huo Linong was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. Hearing this, he looked up at Huo Jinlan, "Jinlan, you go."

"Dad, I...I feel unwell." Huo Jinlan held her stomach, "My stomach hurts."
