Chapter 5578: Chapter 5578: Reveal Identity
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, today is only the second day, which means tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow is her engagement day!
Old Master Xia was chatting cheerfully on the phone with Grandpa Xia, "The fourth day of the first month is perfect! I’m hosting guests today, and seeing them off tomorrow. We’ll prepare well for the grand celebration of our two families!"
"Old Fu, now we’ll truly become one big family. Last night, Little Six came home and told me you all agreed, and Xia Jinyuan was especially happy about it. I was so pleased that I couldn’t stop smiling all night. Old Fu, thank you for thinking highly of the Xia family and for being willing to betroth your precious granddaughter to my Little Six."
"Don’t worry, our entire family will definitely cherish Ye Jian dearly. If Little Six dares to bully her, our whole family won’t let him off the hook! We’ll be right there to help her with whatever she needs!"
When Xia Jinyuan heard this, he silently sent Ye Jian the exact words of the old master. Upon receiving the message, Ye Jian couldn’t help but laugh.
The Fu family was preparing, and the Xia family needed to prepare even more. The two elders talked for at least half an hour before they hung up the phone.
Today, the Fu family was busy, starting early in the morning.
Once he hung up the phone, Old Master Fu said to Uncle Fu, "Check whether there are any guests coming tomorrow. If there are, postpone them until after the fourth. We need to prepare on the third."
"Don’t worry, I’ve got it all covered," Uncle Fu assured, patting his chest with a jovial promise. For the Fu family, this grand celebration was of the utmost importance!
Yet, today they couldn’t beg off as the guests arriving were all previously arranged. They were Old Master Fu’s former subordinates and students. Some had called early to make an appointment, and others had called yesterday to arrange their visit today.
Old Master Fu also got up early, dressed early, and waited for his guests.
Last night, before going to bed, Old Master Fu had told Ye Jian that she would accompany him to meet the guests today. Initially hesitant, Ye Jian gave it some thought and realized that Old Master Fu had his reasons for doing so and thus decided to follow his wishes, waking up early to greet guests with him.
The first batch to arrive was the earliest group of students mentored by Old Master Fu. Now each of them held significant roles as chief engineers or deputy chief engineers. Many of these individuals Ye Jian had seen on TV, as they were scientists who had made substantial contributions to the country.
Old Master Fu took the opportunity to introduce them to Ye Jian. Seeing her by Old Master Fu’s side, they were quite curious. Not hiding anything, Old Master Fu smilingly said, "A junior member of the family, my dearest descendent, my eldest granddaughter."
Eldest granddaughter?
Old Master Fu’s eldest granddaughter?
These students, familiar with Old Master Fu’s family situation, and also somewhat aware of Chief Engineer Fu’s affairs, were slightly puzzled about having such a beautiful granddaughter.
Old Master Fu did not offer much explanation; they naturally understood his intent and seriously complimented Ye Jian.
Although they were unsure whether Ye Jian was indeed Old Master Fu’s biological granddaughter, as the appearance of the "granddaughter" was quite sudden, they subconsciously thought she might be a granddaughter from Old Master Fu’s original hometown.
Granddaughters, grandnieces... and some other types of family relations could all be considered "granddaughters," and even honorary family members could be called "granddaughters."
However, no matter the type of "granddaughter," given Old Master Fu’s emphatic introduction, her status was worth a higher regard in their eyes.
Today, she stood beside Old Master Fu to receive them, indicating that although he might not explicitly say he was introducing her, he at least wanted her to become familiar to them.
