Chapter: 6247

Ha Yuanjiang continued, "Last month, Ha Auntie and I went to Lushan for a few days, and I bought the ring in advance. I proposed to her at the beach, and she said yes. We've also sought the opinions of both sides' children, and regardless of whether it's Qiuqiao or Baolu, they're all very supportive. The two kids are excellent, and there's no need for us to worry about them. They're urging us to hurry up and have the wedding, so I want to ask you when you'll be back, and we can plan our wedding with you as a witness."

"Ask me to be a witness?" Ye Chen asked subconsciously, "Ha Uncle, I'm your and Ha Auntie's younger generation. Is it suitable for me to be a witness?"

Ha Yuanjiang was serious, "I don't have any close relatives on my side or Ha Auntie's side, and we've been abroad for many years without building strong connections with anyone. When we return to Jinling, I'd like to discuss this privately, whether it's at the school where I teach or at your wife's old people's university, most of our friends and colleagues are people who are very practical-minded and lack refinement. To be honest, if I were to ask any one of them to be a witness for us, we both wouldn't feel comfortable with it."

"Saying that, he looked at Ye Chen and said sincerely: 'However, we highly esteem you, and regardless of whether it's Qiuqiao or Baolu, they're all very respectful towards you. If it weren't for your solo journey to Syria to rescue Qiuqiao, she might not be alive today, so we're discussing this with you. This witness is most suitable for you, and I hope you won't refuse.'"

"Ha Yuanjiang said that, Ye Chen naturally had no objections, and thus said very readily: 'No problem, Uncle Ha. I've accepted the invitation.'"

"Ha Yuanjiang saw Ye Chen agree to it, his mood was exceptionally excited, and he quickly said: 'That's truly too thanks for you, Ye Chen! Before this, you were abroad, so I didn't dare bother you. As a result, we haven't set a wedding date yet. You look at your schedule lately, are you planning to stay or leave Jinling? If not leaving, then I'll quickly finalize the wedding date and choose a hotel.'"

"Ye Chen said: 'Don't worry about the hotel, White Gold Han Palace's sky garden is always ready for you and Ha Auntie. Just select a date and tell me, and I'll take care of the rest.'"

"Ha Yuanjiang listened to this and gave Ye Chen a hearty handshake, saying sincerely: 'Ye Chen, thank you... Uncle Ha won't say much more, it's all in my heart!'"

"Ye Chen smiled and said: 'You don't need to be formal with me.'"

"Ha Yuanjiang again said: 'Regarding the wedding date, I personally think the sooner the better. After all, my wife Ha Auntie and I are not young anymore. You know the local social environment is different from abroad, and if we're not married, people will gossip about us. So I want to settle this matter as soon as possible and give you and Ha Auntie a true account. I just looked at the calendar yesterday, next Saturday would be a good day, so I'll discuss it with you and Ha Auntie afterwards. If there are no objections, we'll strive for that date.'"

"Ye Chen was very impressed by Ha Yuanjiang's sense of responsibility and straightforward manner. In contrast, he thought about his own father-in-law, Shao Changkun, who loved Han Meiqing to death but refused to truly cut off all ties with her, which ultimately led to Ha Auntie's marriage to Ha Yuanjiang."

"Thinking of Father-in-Law Shao Changkun, Ye Chen asked cautiously: 'By the way, Uncle Ha, have you and Ha Auntie announced your wedding plans to the outside world yet?'"

"No," said Ha Yuanjiang sincerely. "I was thinking of waiting until you get back to confirm the time, then we'll set a wedding date and book a hotel. If everything goes smoothly, I'll start making a guest list tonight and writing out the invitation.'"

Ye Chen nodded lightly, wondering if he and Han Auntie would invite Shao Changkun to their wedding. However, since Han Auntie was a colleague of Shao Changkun's at the old-age university, this news wouldn't be able to stay hidden from him.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel anxious. If his father-in-law were to find out about this news, he might just collapse altogether?

Ye Chen's anxiety was not unfounded.

He had known from the start that his father-in-law hadn't abandoned Han Meiqing completely just because she got together with Ha Yuanjiang.

When he returned from Korea, he looked like a total wreck. When Shao Changkun's family went bankrupt, he didn't even bat an eyelid.

If someone said that their loved one could still be saved if they talked about their romance, then when their loved one gets married to someone else, it's basically a death sentence.

Moreover, considering Han Meiqing and Ha Yuanjiang's high educational backgrounds and their life experiences at this stage in life, since they've decided to get married at this age, it means they're planning to be together for the long haul.

So, Shao Changkun had no chance whatsoever.

At this time, Shao Changkun didn't know about this disastrous situation and was busy at the senior university learning painting training.

He claimed it was training, but in reality, he had just created a few PPT slides, put some classic paintings from different dynasties onto them, and explained the background of each piece to students while showing them.

In fact, there was no technical content involved; Shao Changkun hated trouble in his daily life, so he simply copied and pasted text directly from Wikipedia into the PPT, just standing on stage reading it out loud for everyone. Everyone knew that what he was talking about had no nutritional value, but as the deputy head of the painting association, he had to give himself some face.

However, despite lacking in substance, Shao Changkun was still burning with passion. JrNovels.com
