Chapter 588 Lost Again
-
The wedding in Shengjing was organized by Shengfang. All the important people in the village attended, including relatives and friends from Shuanglou Village and Guoyuan Village, friends that Hua Jingxing had made in Shengjing City, the Ren Yi family, the Tong Tianci family, and even many leaders from the Municipal Bureau.
Because Hua Yan not only gave the Municipal Public Security Bureau a mobile phone, but also a Mercedes-Benz Jeep she manufactured, everyone was grateful to her. Crucially, whenever Hua Yan returned to Shengjing, she would help Ren Yi solve some long-standing cold cases, making the Shengjing Municipal Public Security Bureau a star attraction both within the Provincial Public Security Department and the Ministry of Public Security.
Over the years, Hua Yan has contributed significantly to the development of Shengjing, a fact known to the municipal government leaders. Of course, Tai Ranzhi's influence also played a role, which is why a delegation from the municipal government attended the event. Many people wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate relationships with the two big bosses (one from the business world, the other from the political world), and prepared generous gifts. However, they didn't have the chance to give them away because…
Two old friends from many years ago, Mingyi and Luyao, also came to attend Huayan's wedding.
Previously, Liu Quan, following Hua Yan's advice, had given special attention to the real estate development in Shengjing, bringing significant political achievements to Ming Yi of the Planning Bureau and Lu Yao of the Land Bureau, allowing them to smoothly assume the positions of bureau chiefs. Therefore, these two old friends specifically asked Hua Jingxing for invitations to attend Hua Yan's wedding.
Also attending the wedding were employees from various shops of the Hua family in Shengjing City. Hua Yan didn't want them to come, but they insisted on coming because they felt it was their good fortune to have such a boss.
There was no other way; Hua Yan couldn't ignore everyone's good intentions, so she had to compromise. However, she made it clear beforehand that she wouldn't accept any gifts from these people.
Hearing this, the employees felt a little disappointed. They had wanted to take this opportunity to express their gratitude, but the boss didn't give them the chance at all. Later, they made many handicrafts and gave them to Hua Yan, who didn't refuse them this time.
At that time, Tai Ranzhi was already the mayor of Shengjing City. He didn't want his own affairs to have a negative impact, but he couldn't refuse people from attending the wedding. Seeing Hua Yan's idea, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution that would neither spoil everyone's mood nor affect his career. So he made a special rule that no one attending the wedding was allowed to give money as a gift.
Many people didn't understand and thought it was just for show. But after seeing a few people who insisted on giving money as gifts and were almost kicked out of the wedding banquet, they realized that this was the real deal.
Tai Ranzhi and Sheng Fang wanted to hold a wedding banquet simply to announce that their son had married an excellent daughter-in-law and to show off a little; they had no intention of making money off her. The key point is that their family isn't short of money. In the Tai family's eyes, Tai Ranzhi's career is more important than anything else. This is the result of Hua Jingxing and Hua Yan's hard work, and they can't let this wedding banquet ruin it all.
Unexpectedly, Tai Ran's action improved his reputation, attracting the attention of his superiors. This was a pleasant surprise.
-
At the wedding banquet in Shengjing, Liu Fengzhi felt she had stolen the show, but she hadn't expected the wedding in the capital to be even more lavish. She thought to herself, "How lucky this girl is! She's had two weddings, and each one is better than the last."
Hua Jingxing's feelings were complicated. When the wedding was held in Shengjing, he felt that his daughter had been kidnapped by someone else. It took him a long time to recover from the loss. Now he felt like he was experiencing the feeling of loss again.
Hua Jiao and Hua Rong also got married, but he didn't feel that strongly. Is this what they call favoritism?
Miao Xianxing led Hua Jingxing and Liu Fengzhi to the most honored seats and said slowly:
"Boss Hua, we need your cooperation for Jiu'er's wedding ceremony later."
“Yes! I know. Just like in Shengjing, I need to deliver her to Taiji.”
Hua Jingxing said somewhat reluctantly.
"Hua Zong, Jiu'er's marriage is a joyous occasion, you should be happy for her, Taiji is her ideal partner."
Miao Xianxing noticed Hua Jingxing's low spirits and offered words of comfort.
"Yes! These two children grew up together and know each other very well, so I'm at ease. But Mr. Miao, I just feel like my precious child has been taken away. I had this feeling at the wedding in Shengjing, and now the feeling is even stronger."
Hua Jingxing said it in a somewhat childish, sulky tone.
Miao Xianxing smiled helplessly; he had never seen Hua Jingxing like this before!
"Boss Hua, with Jiu'er and Taiji getting married, you've gained another son, not lost a daughter. You've actually made a profit."
Miao Xianxing patiently and earnestly tried to persuade Hua Jingxing.
Hua Jingxing, who understood everything, sighed, nodded, and smiled.
“Jingxing, Jiu’er has spent very little time with us since she was little, so what’s there to be reluctant about? Besides, we should be happy that Taiji has taken a liking to Jiu’er.”
Liu Fengzhi is now enjoying a life of luxury with Hua Jingxing, and she's thinking of offering some words of comfort.
Hua Jingxing, who had already been persuaded by Miao Xianxing, felt like slamming his fist on the table after hearing Liu Fengzhi's words. However, today was Hua Yan's big day, and he didn't want to embarrass everyone.
"You mean Jiu'er isn't as good as Taiji?"
Although Hua Jingxing suppressed his anger, his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Isn't that right? I heard that Taiji's research is really amazing, even Sister Shengfang doesn't understand it."
Liu Fengzhi still acted as if it were perfectly natural; in her eyes, Sheng Fang was an extremely capable person.
Hua Jingxing was having a heart attack and didn't want to talk to this fool who looked down on his precious girl.
Miao Xianxing was also speechless. Why couldn't such an outstanding beauty catch her mother's eye?
Fortunately, guests continued to arrive, and Miao Xianxing introduced Hua Jingxing to Liu Fengzhi, finally putting an end to the matter.
Li Juan watched Miao Xianxing from a distance with her child, a happy smile on her face.
Do you all remember Li Juan? She was a flight attendant and Miao Xianxing's high school classmate. Encouraged by Hua Yan, she took the college entrance examination and, after graduating from university, went to work in the finance department of Yanxi Group.
The moment Miao Xianxing saw Li Juan, he knew what he felt for her. So, he didn't miss the opportunity to pursue her, and the two eventually got together, thanks in part to Hua Yan's help! Haha!
Hua Yan offered Li Juan one percent of the shares in Yanxi Group as a wedding gift. Li Juan refused to accept it no matter what, but Miao Xianxing finally spoke up:
"Take it. Jiu'er hopes that we will be together forever and that there is no reason for us to be apart."
Although Hua Yan likes Li Juan, she hasn't reached the point of giving her shares. She hopes that Li Juan can feel a sense of belonging and that she and Miao Xianxing can live happily ever after.
Miao Xianxing understood Hua Yan, so he did not refuse this kind offer.
Just as Hua Yan had hoped, the two of them walked hand in hand, deeply in love, and now have a teenage son.
Miao Xianxing named his son Miao Entu, meaning to remember Hua Yan's kindness in recognizing his talent and to continue on this path.
Zhang Fan also came, along with Hu Xiang and Zhihui. Everyone remembers who he is, right? He was the former mayor of Kyoto, who provided Hua Yan with a lot of help, and is now the Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. (Hu Xiang is currently the Minister of Human Resources and Social Security.)
Hua Yan introduced Liu Quan to Zhang Fan, who took over the construction of the previous Olympic venues and established a good reputation.
Miao Xianxing personally received Zhang Fan and arranged for him to sit at a table with Liu Heming, Men Buhui, Fu Youguo, Ye Maosheng, Gao Wei, and others. These were all high-ranking leaders with shared interests.
"Hey! Old Zhang, I didn't expect Jiu'er to invite you too?"
It was Liu Heming's voice.
"What, is that not allowed? The bride and I have known each other for over twenty years."
Zhang Fan looked proud.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone at the table began to talk about their friendship with Hua Yan.
Sitting at another table, Jin Bu looked at his boss with some emotion. He had known Hua Yan for quite some time, but their relationship wasn't as deep as theirs. Although he had always wanted to deepen his bond with Hua Yan, it hadn't been effective.
Haha! First impressions are very important. This Jin Bu is a comrade-in-arms of Liu Heming and Men Buhui. He is the director of the Kyoto Housing Bureau and has not received any major promotions over the years.
Hua Yan wanted to buy a courtyard house in Kyoto, and Men Buhui introduced her to Jin Bu. However, Jin Bu didn't seem to take Hua Yan seriously, which made Hua Yan's first impression of him not very good.
Later, he introduced Hua Yan to treat Zhan Sheng's elderly mother and rescued Fang Hua, but she herself was imprisoned by Zhan Sheng. Later, with Liu Heming's help, Hua Yan destroyed Zhan Sheng's Taiwanese spy organization. At the same time, Mei Cheng and Mei Wang were implicated, and the identity of the remains buried deep underground in Zhang Jiaxi's house was finally revealed.
Therefore, Hua Yan's invitation to Jin Bu was merely a courtesy call, since Jin Bu had personally called to say he wanted to attend her wedding.
Jin Bu, with his somewhat shrewd and calculating nature, knew that Hua Yan's wedding would definitely be attended by important figures, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity. Therefore, after learning about Hua Yan's wedding, he took the initiative to ask for an invitation.

Because Shengfang had already arranged the wedding for Huayan and Taiji in Shengjing, none of their relatives or friends came to Kyoto. However, as the mother-in-law, Shengfang was worried that her son wasn't fully prepared, so she came early to help with everything.
Tai Ranzhi is now the mayor of Shengjing City, and there are rumors that he will be promoted to vice governor, so he is very busy. Tai'an and Liang Yin picked him up yesterday, and he flew over this morning. After arriving, Tai'an and Liang Yin took him to Hua Jingxing's table.
"Brother Tai, you've arrived."
Although Tai Ranzhi is now the mayor and will become the vice governor in the future, his relationship with Hua Jingxing remains as close as ever.
"Jingxing, sister-in-law, you're early, I'm late."
Tai Ranzhi sat down next to Hua Jingxing, and the two shook hands.
"It's not late, we just arrived too. Hope we didn't keep you from getting back to work?"
"It can't be delayed. Even if it is, it's an important event for the two children, and I have to be there."
Hua Jingxing and Tai Ranzhi started chatting.
Tai'an and Liang Yin served tea and water to the group.
"Tai'an, now that your brother's wedding is over, it's your turn with Liang Yin."
Liu Fengzhi looked at her godson and still liked him.
“Godmother, we’re not in a hurry. Xiaoyin said that planning a wedding is too tiring, and she wants to have a destination wedding.”
Tai'an held Liang Yin's hand, and Liang Yin looked shy.
Previously, Tai'an had a girlfriend named Zhang Wei, who was a colleague. He had even introduced her to his parents and brother.
Hua Yan knew Zhang Wei, who was from Country D. In her previous life, Zhang Wei had dated someone named Jian Shixun, who also worked on military programs.
In her past life, Hua Yan was not sensitive to military matters and didn't have many thoughts about them. In this life, Jian Shixun didn't appear, but Zhang Wei was friends with Tai'an, who worked as a military reporter, which made Hua Yan somewhat suspicious.
So Hua Yan asked An Xin to thoroughly investigate Zhang Wei. Unexpectedly, a small suspicion led to the discovery of a D country spy organization.
It turns out that Zhang Wei was a spy trained by Country D, specializing in developing members for her organization in China. Tai An, as a military reporter, quickly came into Zhang Wei's sights, then deliberately approached her, and eventually developed a romantic relationship with her.
Zhang Wei also brought about her own demise. Hua Yan investigated her, and she also investigated Hua Yan, knowing Hua Yan's strength and wanting to use her.
Haha! Is Ninth Master so easy to manipulate? While Hua Yan was investigating Zhang Wei thoroughly, an anonymous letter arrived directly on Gao Wei's desk.
Because of his son Gao Guang, Gao Wei harbors a deep hatred for foreign spies, so he takes this report very seriously and is determined to investigate it thoroughly.
Haha! Zhang Wei was exposed just like that. However, Hua Yan didn't pay much attention to it; she heard that Zhang Wei was later sentenced.
Tai'an never expected his first love to end like this. He was investigated for quite some time, but fortunately, he didn't cross any lines and it didn't affect his work. However, Tai'an was depressed for a long time after this incident.
Later, the Boy Scouts often gathered, and Tai An discovered Liang Yin's charm, and the two gradually became a couple.
The two are childhood sweethearts, having been together since they were young, so it's not surprising that they've gotten together now.
In fact, Liang Yin had always liked Tai An, but she didn't dare to confess. As she grew up and became more sensible, she dared not confess even more, because Tai An's father was a leader, which gave people a sense of pressure for no reason.
After Tai'an confessed his feelings to Liang Yin, Liang Yin couldn't believe it was real for a long time, thinking she was dreaming.
Sheng Fang also liked Liang Yin, after all, she knew her background well, unlike Zhang Wei, who used her precious son as a pawn. Moreover, Deng Zhi had been taking care of these children, and Sheng Fang had a good impression of her and Liang Dong, believing that with such parents, the children wouldn't be too bad. Besides, Liang Yin was a top student in the Chemistry Department of Yanda University and was now the technical research and development director of Yanxi Pharmaceutical.
Shengfang is very satisfied with the partners of both her sons, so she is also preparing for their wedding in Tai'an.
