"Teacher's Wife, are you going?" Wan Yunting asked, snapping back to attention.
Yang Jingyi, at the Boundless Daoist Temple, replied, "I won't be going. When my senior sister, Nun Fengling, passed away before the new year, I went then. This time it's a happy occasion, so you should go."
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and asked, "What was the reason for Nun Fengling's death?"
Yang Jingyi said, "According to Nun Yunbai, she passed away suddenly due to practicing martial arts incorrectly, which severely injured her body!"
Wan Yunting nodded, knowing that Nun Fengling, the sect leader of Mount Emei, was Zhou Ruoxi's master...
"Give me the phone."
Duan Yingying snatched the phone from Wan Yunting's hand and happily said, "Mom..."
Watching the girl talk to her mother, Wan Yunting turned to Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong and said, "It looks like we have to change our route and head to Mount Emei!"
"Let's go."
Lu Xiaodie was indifferent, then teased with a smile, "Quick, tell me, what illicit affair do you have with the female disciples of Mount Emei? Is it true, as Yingying said, that you're going to crash the wedding?"
"Tsk, crash what wedding."
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow and gave Lu Xiaodie, who loved to stir up trouble, a look. However, the thought of Zhou Ruoxi marrying another man made him feel very uneasy.
Could it be that he really had to crash the wedding?
Wan Yunting urged Duan Yingying to hang up the phone, took his phone, and rebooked their trip to Mount Emei. This meant they first had to fly to Sishuan City, then take a car to Mount Emei in Leshan. Mount Emei sect was located on the mountain!
Just as Wan Yunting booked his flight tickets, a message suddenly appeared on his WeChat, causing his eyes to widen. It was from Jiang Tingxia, Zhou Ruoxi's junior sister, who asked: "Abbot Wan, are you coming to Mount Emei for my senior sister's wedding?"
Wan Yunting didn't expect Jiang Tingxia to message him suddenly and ask about this!
After their last meeting at the Boundless Daoist Temple, Wan Yunting thought that her senior sister would have deleted his WeChat.
"Yes, I just received the news. I'm heading over now!" Wan Yunting replied to Jiang Tingxia.
Jiang Tingxia replied, "If you don't want my senior sister to lose her happiness, then come before the wedding on the 23rd!"
Upon seeing this message, Wan Yunting's eyes widened, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly replied, "Tingxia, did something happen to your senior sister? Why are you suddenly getting married for no reason?"
Jiang Tingxia replied, "It's not convenient to explain here. Just hurry over. That's all!"
"Okay," Wan Yunting replied, his brow furrowing.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xiaodie and Duan Yingying noticed his不对劲 expression. Wan Yunting said in a solemn tone, "This wedding is not simple!"
Today was February 20th. Major sects had been successively receiving invitations from Mount Emei sect to attend the wedding of their future sect leader, Zhou Ruoxi!
This was happy news, and naturally, the major sects of the martial arts world sent representatives to attend and offer their congratulations...
"I can't go to Mount Emei with you all!"
Just as they were about to go back to pack their things and head to the airport, Duan Yingying pouted and said unhappily, "My mom wants me to go back to the Boundless Daoist Temple!"
"Go back now?" Wan Yunting was taken aback and asked, "Is there something going on?"
Duan Yingying shook her head and said, "She said there's something, but I guess she just misses me too much."
Wan Yunting nodded. It was normal for Teacher's Wife Yang Jingyi to miss her, as this girl hadn't gone back for the New Year. He said, "Then I'll book your flight back, and we'll go to the airport together later."
"Oh, okay."
Although Duan Yingying also wanted to go to Mount Emei with the men, she had to consider her mother's feelings, so she could only go back to the Boundless Daoist Temple.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Yunting, Lu Xiaodie, Duan Yingying, and Zheng Rong arrived at the airport in Taishan City.
Since Duan Yingying's flight was earlier, Wan Yunting personally escorted her to the security check. Seeing her reluctant departure, Wan Yunting breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "Finally got rid of this troublemaker!"
"Hehe, little brother, what are you muttering about?"
Suddenly, Lu Xiaodie appeared beside him, giggling and teasing, "What's wrong, are you stuck with that little girl Yingying?"
Wan Yunting turned and gave her a look, then walked towards the lounge chairs in the waiting area. "Sister Lu, please don't joke with me."
Lu Xiaodie shamelessly linked his arm and said charmingly, "After all, you're young, that's why you're so attractive to flowers and willows..."
At six o'clock, Wan Yunting boarded the passenger plane to Sishuan City with Lu Xiaodie and Zheng Rong. At the same time, he had already sent messages to Fang Yanxi, his parents, and his sister, informing them that something had suddenly come up and he might not be able to return to the capital for a few days.
At this moment, Fang Yanxi, at the Ouyang family's residence, was sitting on the sofa with the man's mother, Xia Xiangyun, chatting. Fang Yanxi, meeting her boyfriend's parents for the first time, was naturally very nervous. Her personality was also slow to warm up, so Xia Xiangyun took the initiative to find topics to chat with her.
Fortunately, Ouyang Fanmeng, that girl, was there to accompany them, so the atmosphere wasn't too awkward.
Of course, Xia Xiangyun also considered Fang Yanxi's awkwardness. After all, her son wasn't around, and anyone would feel uncomfortable.
"Brother isn't coming back today either!"
Ouyang Fanmeng also received the news that her older brother Wan Yunting wasn't coming back, so she immediately sent him a message to question him, saying, "Big Brother is really something. Didn't you say you'd be back today? Why the sudden change of plans?"
Xia Xiangyun understood that her son was busy outside. "Alright, Fanmeng, your brother is busy. Don't bother him."
Fang Yanxi also received the message and felt a little upset. She didn't know what her boyfriend was busy with outside, leaving her alone and feeling awkward in his home.
"I'm back."
At this moment, Ouyang Zhixin returned. Xia Xiangyun stepped forward to take his coat and her gaze landed on Fang Yanxi. Seeing this, the woman knew that this was the man's biological father, so she quickly stood up and appeared polite and reserved. Ouyang Zhixin smiled and said, "Don't be so formal, please sit down."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Fang Yanxi smiled politely and nodded, then slowly sat down, maintaining a respectful posture. Ouyang Fanmeng, sitting beside her, said unhappily, "Big Brother said he's going to Mount Emei for some wedding and can't come back until after the 23rd."
Ouyang Zhixin took the tea poured by his wife and then smiled at Fang Yanxi, who was sitting in front of him. "You're Yanxi, right? Have some tea."
"Mhm, mhm..."
Fang Yanxi smiled and nodded, her reserved demeanor making her look quite amusing.
"Your brother is the abbot of the Boundless Daoist Temple. When there are major events among the various sects, he naturally can't miss attending them," Ouyang Zhixin said with a smile.
"Alright, let's not talk about him for now."
Xia Xiangyun waved her hand, then pulled Fang Yanxi's small hand, which was sitting beside her, and asked kindly with a smile, "Yanxi, you've just arrived in the capital and are new here. Why don't you stay at home? When Yunting gets back, you can make arrangements, what do you say?"
Fang Yanxi's pretty face slightly stiffened, and she quickly shook her head, saying shyly, "No need, Auntie, I've already booked a hotel..."
"Sister Yanxi, what hotel are you staying in?"
Ouyang Fanmeng also sat over and pulled Fang Yanxi's hand, laughing, "Just stay with me in the back. I still want to know about your brother's embarrassing stories from when he was studying."
Xia Xiangyun smiled and gave her daughter a look, then nodded in agreement. "It's good to have a companion like Fanmeng stay with you."
"Stay here and live."
Ouyang Zhixin also said with a smile.
Seeing their family's warmth and welcome, Fang Yanxi felt very happy. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and smiled gently, "Okay, thank you, Uncle and Auntie. Then I'll stay here temporarily for a while, and we'll talk about it when Yunting gets back."
"Good, good, good, you silly child, you're too polite." Xia Xiangyun was very happy to see her stay.
This was because she had learned from her daughter that Fang Yanxi was her son's official girlfriend, and they had been dating since college. Perhaps she might even be their future daughter-in-law!
However, as a future mother-in-law, Xia Xiangyun preferred Gu Luotang a little more!
This was because Gu Luotang was gentle and amiable, giving the impression of a well-bred young lady, and was easy to get along with.
On the other hand, Fang Yanxi might not have opened up yet, and her strong personality also determined that it was not easy for her to interact with others. But Xia Xiangyun couldn't help it; as long as her son liked her, that was fine.
Of course, she preferred her son to marry both of them!
"Yanxi, have you encountered any difficulties with the relocation of Chaoting Group's headquarters to the capital?" Ouyang Zhixin asked Fang Yanxi with concern.
Fang Yanxi's expression stiffened. She knew that the person in front of her was the next head of the Ouyang family in the capital, and the entire Ouyang family's business was managed by him alone. His ability and methods were undoubtedly beyond question.
"Uncle, there are no difficulties."
Fang Yanxi's attitude was respectful, and her slightly reserved demeanor showed. She smiled and said, "General Manager Jiang has already made arrangements here. I'm just here to help with the follow-up matters. The official opening should be next week."
"That's good."
Ouyang Zhixin nodded with a smile and then asked, "What are your views on the future development of Chaoting Group?"
Fang Yanxi's delicate eyebrows slightly raised. When discussing work-related issues, her entire demeanor changed. After thinking carefully, she answered Ouyang Zhixin's question, outlining her vision for the future development of Chaoting Group...
Ouyang Zhixin listened attentively, occasionally nodding in agreement with her views. This made Xia Xiangyun and Ouyang Fanmeng, sitting beside them, feel bewildered, as the mother and daughter had never paid attention to business matters.
However, business was Fang Yanxi's forte. When she talked about this topic, she spoke articulately, which made Ouyang Zhixin re-evaluate Fang Yanxi.
Before hearing that Fang Yanxi was his son's girlfriend, Ouyang Zhixin had investigated some of her achievements. He knew about her accomplishments after returning to China to take over their Fang Group last year, as well as her achievements as the executive president of Chaoting Group's headquarters. Ouyang Zhixin believed that Fang Yanxi had high business acumen.
Of course, she was still a little immature. If she received more cultivation and training, she would definitely become a remarkable pillar of the business world in the future!
Therefore, Ouyang Zhixin greatly admired Fang Yanxi. He listened intently as she spoke about Chaoting Group's future development plans, and when there were any inaccuracies, Ouyang Zhixin patiently explained the reasons to her...
Fang Yanxi listened very seriously to the different opinions given by the man's father. Over time, she became less nervous and reserved, and discussed business topics with Ouyang Zhixin normally...
