Chapter 259 The whole family is shocked
Fu Huaiyi was completely baffled by the old man's last words.
"Really, I wouldn't joke about something this big. Mom, what does Grandpa mean? Why doesn't he believe I'm getting married?"
"I don't know, he just tossed the phone to me and left."
This……
Could this old man really have some kind of mental problem?
“I’ve already taken my wedding leave. I’ve thought it over. I’ll go to Yao Yao’s house next month to propose. Once they agree, I’ll call you right away, and you can come to Nancheng immediately and book a hotel. There’s no rush with the marriage certificate. The process will take more than six months. We can get the certificate after we’re married.”
Luo Feng was stunned.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
Why is there another one coming so soon?
Is it really that urgent?
"Old Wang said that our team will take on a new project in the second half of the year, which will likely keep us very busy. So I need to try to get married in the first half of the year, otherwise I won't be able to take leave in the second half."
Luo Feng sighed and said, "This is too sudden. I wasn't prepared at all."
"It's not your wedding, why do you need to prepare anything? I've already prepared everything."
"What are you saying? If I don't prepare for your wedding, who will? When your father and I go to the bride's house to propose, there are specific rules about what gifts to bring."
"Oh dear, it's too late. I'll handle the marriage proposal myself. You and your father come to Nancheng and wait for my news. Once the date is set, you can start preparing for the wedding immediately. I'll bring your father-in-law's family over and we'll hold the wedding right away."
Luo Feng: "..."
So he arranged everything?
"Hmph, I knew you were getting married, but if I didn't know, you'd think you were going to war."
After some hesitation, Luo Feng said irritably, "I haven't prepared anything yet, how are you going to get married?"
"We've come full circle, haven't we? Didn't I tell you to follow my instructions? I'll tell you how to prepare, and you'll prepare exactly as I say?"
"You brat, what do you know?" she cursed angrily. "How can you not go when your own parents are invited? If your father and I don't go, how are we supposed to discuss the marriage with your future in-laws?"
"I'll discuss this with you. Just listen to my instructions and do as I ask."
"Pah! That's so perfunctory. How are you going to bring it up yourself? How are you going to discuss it? Marriage is a very complicated process; can you explain it clearly?"
What Luo Feng didn't know was that it was precisely because letting them handle the matter would make things very complicated that they weren't allowed to go.
Otherwise, if the four parents sit down together and wait for them to come up with their own solution, it will take until next year at the earliest.
But he definitely won't be available next year.
It has already been revealed that the higher-ups want to set up servers belonging to China, and they must be successfully registered with the Internet Society of China by the end of next year at the latest.
This is no joke; it'll probably exhaust you to death.
If they succeed, they will be able to take a collective annual leave next year for Chinese New Year.
If it doesn't work out, I doubt I'll even get a holiday for Chinese New Year, let alone time to get married.
He could only tell them that he would be very busy with new projects in the second half of the year, and he couldn't reveal anything else.
In other words, if it's successful, there will be time to get married the year after next.
If it fails, who knows when we'll have time to get married.
If this drags on any longer, he'll become an old man, while Yao Yao's career is booming and her fame is growing. She's still young and beautiful, what if he can't reach her level later?
The project was a military secret, so he couldn't tell them. He could only say, "I'm not young anymore, Mom. Look at all the kids I grew up with. Which one of them is still unmarried at my age? Aren't you afraid I'll become an old bachelor and people will laugh at me?"
Luo Feng was astonished. "Wow, I never expected you to be so enlightened. Last year when you attended your comrade's wedding, and I brought up your personal life with you, didn't you say you were too young to think about marriage?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." You really know how to expose my weaknesses.
Luo Feng laughed and said, "What's wrong? Did you get envious seeing your comrade's wedding, with his wife, kids, and a warm bed?"
Fu Huaiyi: "..." You really know how to bring up the most awkward topics.
He couldn't say that the bride was the same person, otherwise she would ask him a lot of questions.
"Then it's settled. Just listen to me, and don't worry about anything else."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for her to refute him.
Moreover, it was deliberately placed at an angle so that Luo Feng couldn't get through when she tried to hit it again.
Zhang Fangfang, who was standing next to him, didn't even notice that his phone wasn't properly placed. She just took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This is too fast, Ayi. Have you really thought this through?"
He didn't like hearing that.
She simply said, "Don't worry, I've definitely thought this through before I said it. Time will definitely be tight later, so I'll have to trouble my aunt to help out a lot, like overseeing the renovation of the new house, booking hotels, sending out invitations, and arranging the emcee."
It sounds simple, but it's actually quite complicated to do.
But he's already made up his mind, what else can he do?
Zhang Fangfang could only nod in agreement.
"By the way, Auntie, could you lend me some money first?"
Zhang Fangfang: "What do you need the money for?"
"I can't go to Yao Yao's house empty-handed."
Zhang Fangfang's lips twitched. "You don't even have the money to propose marriage? What did you do?"
"Didn't I just say that I bought a house for our wedding? That house cost tens of thousands."
Zhang Fangfang was speechless for a moment, then told him to wait and went upstairs to get him a thousand yuan.
"Is that enough for you?"
"That's enough. I'll pay you back when I get my salary."
"Come on, you don't need to pay it back. Consider it my financial support for your wedding."
"Oh, thank you, Auntie."
Not long after he left, Fu Xingwei and his daughter returned.
Zhang Fangfang hurriedly told them, "Ayi is getting married! The wedding house has been bought and is being renovated. He's also taken his wedding leave. He's going to the girl's family next month to propose, and he's just waiting for her parents to give their approval before holding the wedding immediately. My goodness, why is he in such a hurry?"
This kid is so unreliable! Buying and renovating a house was such a big decision, and he didn't even consult us. Getting married was another big event, and he just gave us a heads-up, catching us completely off guard. What are we going to do?
Fu Xingwei originally wanted to say that he already knew about Fu Huaiyi buying a wedding house and decorating it, and that he was the one who arranged the decoration team.
But seeing his wife frowning and complaining about his nephew's unreliability, he swallowed his words back.
Otherwise, she would start blaming herself too, saying things like, "Men are all unreliable."
“Isn’t this a good thing?” Fu Leyi said. “Mom, Ayi is not young anymore, he should get married.”
“I know he should get married, but… isn’t this a bit too ambitious of him? He arranged such a big thing all by himself without even discussing it with his family.”
"Neither your second uncle nor your second aunt said anything to him, so why are you worrying? If he asks you for help, just help him. Don't worry about anyone else."
Zhang Fangfang: "..."
