CHAPTER 547: CHAPTER 509: AS EXPECTED, THE IMPORTANT PART IS AT THE END

"Miss, Mr. Leng is really good to you!"

Without asking, Cheng Shi knew that the person who was secretly adding fuel to the fire had to be Leng Lingxiao.

Only he would help the miss without limits.

"Cheng Shi, do you also think this matter..." Tang Xiaowan paused and looked at him, "I shouldn’t have interfered, Wang Junchen had his own plans."

"You and Mr. Leng have only five days left until your wedding, when the wedding matters most."

"When the wedding matters most?"

Yes! Even Wang Junchen had chosen to temporarily cease hostilities and had called Jiangbei back from Jin City.

But the things Yuan Min did back then and the harm they caused to Ye Wanhua, whenever Tang Xiaowan remembered them, her heart ached as if it were being sliced by knives.

"Miss, I spoke out of turn, I’m sorry!" Cheng Shi said, lowering his head in self-reproach.

"No, you were right, I indeed shouldn’t have disturbed everyone’s good mood at this time... Notify Jin City immediately and implement plan B."

At this moment, Wang Junchen came down from upstairs.

"Haven’t finished eating?"

Cheng Shi nodded and then left.

During a breakfast, Tang Xiaowan had been sitting since seven in the morning. Everyone had already left the table quite a while ago, yet she was still absent-mindedly stirring her lean pork porridge, the small dishes and fried eggs remained untouched.

Wang Junchen glanced at the lean pork porridge, pulled out a chair, and smilingly sat down next to Tang Xiaowan.

"Is the porridge too salty?"

Tang Xiaowan shook her head, picked up the bowl, took a sip of porridge, and then picked up a chopstick full of radish strips.

Ever since she found out that Wang Junchen was her biological father, her attitude towards him improved a lot, but the emotional barriers deep within still persisted.

She needed time to adapt to 20 years of absence.

"Tangtang, Ah Hua and I are going to the airport, some friends from out of town are coming over, let’s go together, they all want to meet you and we can take a stroll."

Tang Xiaowan: Relationships are pretty good, huh!

"Coming for the wedding?"

"They’re old friends of several decades, they came early to help. It’s bustling with more people at happy events."

"Go ahead, I won’t join."

"No rush, Ah Hua is still picking out clothes upstairs." Wang Junchen pushed the freshly served potstickers closer to Tang Xiaowan: "Eat first."

"I have things to attend to this morning, I can’t get away."

"Oh, okay, then we’ll meet another day."

Despite feeling somewhat disappointed, it was expected, and at least his tone had improved a lot.

After Wang Junchen left, Tang Xiaowan quickly put down her chopsticks, and just as she was about to call Leng Lingxiao, she saw Wang Jinghui briskly walking over.

"Tangtang, Tangtang, have you eaten enough?"

With a loud voice as if afraid others wouldn’t hear, his face couldn’t hide the smile.

"I’ve eaten enough."

"Come on, follow grandpa upstairs."

"Did Grandma call for me?"

"No, I have something to show you."

Soon, Tang Xiaowan followed Wang Jinhui to the westernmost room on the second floor.

Before her eyes were neatly arranged wedding quilts and various patterns of bedding, along with many beautifully wrapped gift boxes.

"Are all these being taken over on the wedding day?"

"They are all heartfelt gifts from everyone, overwhelmed by kindness, and there are plenty of cars to carry them quickly."

"Why are there so many wedding quilts?"

"These were made by Ah Hua, these few were sent by Dean Chen, those over there are Granny Yu’s, next to them those are your grandmother’s, and these next few were made by grandfather, and this side, these are..."

"Why did you and grandma differentiate yours?" Tang Xiaowan blinked her big eyes, slightly puzzled.

"Grandpa’s needlework isn’t up to scratch, you know what your grandma is like..." Wang Jinghui coughed lightly and slowly walked back to Tang Xiaowan’s side, "Speaking of which, Ah Hua had it the toughest, making 12 quilts while pregnant, every stitch and thread, it wasn’t easy!"

Tang Xiaowan bit her lip, tears shimmering.

Pregnant? Having a baby? Do I have a brother or sister?

Ah, so many, bed number 12!

Can her body handle it?

"Call mom, and you’ll have them all!" Wang Jinhui looked steadfastly at his granddaughter, his eyes full of tenderness.

"It looks pretty good."

"Wow, you’ve even learned to answer questions indirectly now!"

Tang Xiaowan really wanted to act spoiled and call out "Mom," a desire she had harbored since she was young. Every birthday, she secretly wished for her parents’ health and safety and hoped to meet them within her lifetime.

But for some reason, now that her wish had come true, she just couldn’t bring herself to say it.

"Tangtang, you don’t plan to wait... until the day you greet the bridegroom, during the tea ceremony..." Wang Jinhui raised his eyebrows, intentionally leaving his sentence half-finished.

He still understood his precious granddaughter.

"Grandpa is so annoying!"

"Ah, it seems that the dowry Grandpa and Grandma painstakingly picked for you was prepared in vain!"

"Grandpa, that’s not what I meant."

"Grandpa knows, just joking. Let’s look at the pictures first; the real thing is too big to bring here."

"Too big? How big?"

As Wang Jinhui opened the images on the phone one by one, Tang Xiaowan fell into shock again.

Grandma and Grandpa had actually bought an island in Country Y as her dowry and thoughtfully prepared two helicopters and two yachts, one large and one small.

"Do we need so many people on the island?"

"Not many, just barely enough."

Tang Xiaowan suspected that those so-called staff members were very likely members of Shen Shiyi.

"Last month, Grandma told me that the shops on Chicheng Commercial Street were just a small part of it, the major stuff was yet to come, but this is too..."

"Go and check it out during your honeymoon, don’t worry about the procedures, everything has been taken care of."

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

Can I not go myself?

Oh, right, Granny has Shen Shiyi!

"Tangtang, Grandpa knows, you don’t lack anything, Ling Xiao will definitely take good care of you. I just hope you can be happy, do what you want to do, keeping it simple is fine."

Tang Xiaowan felt a sting in her nose and threw herself into Wang Jinhui’s arms: "Grandpa, Grandpa."

Tears slid down, her emotions a complex mix.

"There, there, no more crying, come on, let me tell you about this island, speaking of which, it’s quite fateful. Your grandma and I were in high school back then..."

"You two really knew each other long ago!" Tang Xiaowan wiped her tears and burst into laughter.

She knew it; Grandma’s eagerness to get the certificate with Grandpa wasn’t just lip service about being compatible, nor was it so-called emotion; they were originally lovers.

"Tangtang, Grandpa wanted to tell you..."

"Come on, how did you meet?"

"That... that would be a long story." Wang Jinhui glanced towards the door and lowered his voice, "Your grandma’s mother, Tang Nanxi, father, Jiang Yaozong, they were both once in the field of..."

Tang Xiaowan frowned: Genetics?

She couldn’t help but recall that DNA report.

Time quietly passed by, and by the time they left the room, three hours had elapsed.

[Everyone is in place, everything is going smoothly.]

After reading the message sent by Cheng Shi, Tang Xiaowan bit her lower lip, her thick eyelashes quivering.

"Tangtang, what are you thinking about?" Wang Jinhui stopped, turned back, and looked at Tang Xiaowan. "Are you still troubled by why Grandma didn’t let you..."

"No, Grandpa, I want to call Huahua. I promised him, three times a day."

"Oh, okay then, Grandpa will go down first."
