Chapter 1371 - 1369: Transformation
Although Ruan Ling was very supportive of this matter, Yang Chen still hoped to get Fu Zhou’s approval.
The heart is best healed by medicine for the heart.
If Fu Zhou’s concern remains unresolved and keeps festering in his heart, eventually there will be problems with the Ye family.
But healing a mental wound isn’t something that happens overnight. Yang Chen has plans in his heart and will find a way to solve Fu Zhou’s concerns.
As for the matters of the past, he will naturally find the original culprit and give them the harshest retribution!
Yang Chen considers himself not a saint, but someone who repays grievances, and that is exactly what he will do.
Gathering his thoughts, Yang Chen smiled at Ruan Ling and said, "Actually, there’s no rush. Find some time for both parties to get together first, discuss various matters and what needs to be prepared, the proper etiquette to follow, and we’ll prepare accordingly."
Ruan Ling nodded slowly.
Qin Zhiyuan laughed and said, "That’s right, we must observe the proper etiquette required. The Ye family is a prestigious family, and even more so in Jin Chen, where appearances are important. We’re not a poor family anymore, and we must adhere to our ceremonial duties. Besides, marriage is a lifelong affair, not something to take lightly. If we’re doing it, we must do it right!"
Qin Zhiyuan raised Yang Chen as his own and naturally felt excited seeing his child about to get married.
He didn’t harbor resentment towards the Ye family like Fu Zhou did.
However, Wei Xueqing was rather silent on the side, occasionally sipping soup, her eyes distant, seemingly lost in thought.
Despite some minor upheavals during the meal, it was mostly pleasant.
After eating, everyone went their separate ways to rest.
Early the next morning.
Yang Chen was exercising in the manor.
The cobblestone paths are very comfortable for jogging, surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air.
There’s a dedicated fitness plaza with various exercise equipment, very convenient.
On his way back, Yang Chen ran into Fu Zhou who was jogging at the entrance.
Upon seeing Yang Chen, Fu Zhou stopped his exercise, wiped his sweat, and said to Yang Chen, "Xiaochen, yesterday your mother told me that the grievances of the older generation shouldn’t affect the younger one. Since you two love each other, we as parents naturally support you. When we get some free time in the upcoming days, your mother and I will go to Jin Chen to talk with the Ye family."
Yang Chen knew Fu Zhou had unresolved issues within, but he was still willing to do this for him, which deeply touched Yang Chen.
However, Yang Chen couldn’t agree to Fu Zhou feeling wronged like this.
Yang Chen said, "No need! Your approval is enough. This matter isn’t urgent. When I have the time, I’ll take you both to meet them. We need to prepare on our side too. Recently, things in Ancheng are incredibly busy, and there’s no time to spare. Let’s wait a few days, okay? Don’t rush; wait for me to arrange things, alright?"
Fu Zhou also nodded slowly, knowing full well that Baisheng Real Estate and Longyu Group had already established a deep cooperation relationship, and he was aware of the integration efforts. Right now, Longyu Group is indeed extremely busy, not a good time to proceed.
"Let’s eat!" Yang Chen smiled at Fu Zhou.
Fu Zhou nodded, wiped the sweat off his face, and followed Yang Chen back into the house.
Yang Chen had already made up his mind.
He must uncover the true circumstances of the past events and find out who was behind the scenes, pulling strings!
Before he gets married, he must resolve these matters.
If he is to get married, the family should be happy together, and he absolutely will not impose his happiness onto his parents’ anguish!
If he gets married and his father is forcing a smile, believing he’s marrying the daughter of his enemy, what meaning does this marriage hold?
Before getting married, these issues must be dealt with!
Upon entering the house, Ruan Ling immediately looked at Fu Zhou.
That gaze seemed to be asking a question.
Fu Zhou returned the gaze.
The two, being husband and wife for so long, could understand each other with just a glance.
After understanding Fu Zhou’s meaning, Ruan Ling immediately smiled at Yang Chen and said, "Son, I talked with your dad yesterday. We support you! When are we heading to Jin Chen?"
Yang Chen said, "No rush. I just talked to my dad about this. Let him tell you, while I go take a shower."
Taking a shower after morning exercise feels more comfortable, a habit of Yang Chen.
Ruan Ling immediately leaned closer to Fu Zhou, inquiring, "What’s going on?"
Fu Zhou relayed what Yang Chen said and what he meant to Ruan Ling.
After listening, Ruan Ling felt emotional.
She glared at Fu Zhou, "You’re something else. Why show your temper in front of the child? Now look, the child remembers it. You say it’s busy right now, but he’s concerned you’re saying yes reluctantly, wanting to resolve these matters before considering marriage! Can you find a girl as wonderful as Ye Xin even if you hold a lantern and look? How could you be so muddled? Our son has struggled so much! And you’re causing trouble for him!"
How could Fu Zhou not understand? He felt helpless and responded to his wife’s complaints with a wry smile.
Deep down, he was secretly grateful for Yang Chen’s decision.
It’s not that he’s selfish—who wouldn’t want their son to marry a beautiful and charming wife?
Not to mention, Ye Xin’s unparalleled beauty, a once-in-a-lifetime beauty.
However, he feared that he couldn’t get past this hurdle in his heart.
If they truly got married and he didn’t get along with the Ye family, it wouldn’t be good for the young couple’s life together.
All in all, he has unraveled some clues from the past. He must expedite the progress to investigate the truth and resolve these issues before he can truly watch his son get married.
...
After breakfast.
Night Fire and Gao Hong came to pick up Yang Chen.
The three headed to the harbor.
There’s a specific area in the harbor controlled by the Guard.
From here, a boat can directly reach Penglai Island.
After Night Fire arranged everything, the three boarded the ship and sailed for Penglai Island.
Along the way, Yang Chen could see various operational vessels.
With Flame Country’s terrifying infrastructure abilities, Penglai Island was rapidly developing.
Reefs on the perimeter were reclaimed to create a large sea island that surrounds Penglai Island, with an area even larger than Penglai Island itself!
Three entrances and exits are left, completely encircling Penglai Island, forming an excellent defensive barrier.
Yet the dense fog still doesn’t dissipate, making it impossible to glimpse Penglai Island in its entirety from the outside.
Upon breaking free from the fog zone, Yang Chen saw the tremendous changes on Penglai Island!
Wind farm!
Solar power station!
Signal tower!
High-rise buildings under construction.
Guard base!
Sea, land, and air military equipment all present!
Many ships were working, bustling back and forth.
As they neared the port, Yang Chen saw a group of people preparing to welcome them at the dock.
The ship docked.
Yang Chen saw many familiar faces.
Purple Cultivator, Sun Yue, Meng Po...
Everyone was standing on the dock, eagerly looking at the boat.
As Yang Chen walked up the steps, he was shocked to see Sun Yue and Purple Cultivator standing very close, their hands tightly clasped together below!
When did these two get together?
Yang Chen’s eyes widened in astonishment!
