Chapter 900 900: A Small Crisis Avoided First
Zhang Dehou spoke up at this moment, "Zhang Jun, tomorrow you should personally go to the station to pick up Xiao Hui."
"She's been away from home for many years, and her willingness to return this time means we must pay extra attention and not neglect her."
Zhang Jun grinned awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.
He could only look to Chen Xuan for help.
Lin Wanxi understood and volunteered, "Grandpa, tomorrow let's have Chen Xuan and I go to the station to pick up Auntie and them."
"Uncle can just meet us at the door, there's no need for him to go in person."
Zhang Dehou didn't say much more and nodded, "Hmm, alright, let's do that."
"Wanxi, I'll go with you to the station to pick them up," Zhang Ru volunteered.
Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi both grinned, having finally convinced everyone, only for Zhang Ru to jump in and cause a stir.
"Mom, why do you need to go with us."
Lin Wanxi waved her hand, "There's limited space in the car. Chen Xuan and I will drive over, pick up Auntie, Dongzi, and Yiyi, which makes it perfectly full with five people."
"If you come along, it would be overloaded! If the traffic police catch us, how inappropriate it would be during the New Year."
Zhang Jun quickly laughed and said, "Wanxi is right! Big Sis, there's no urgency in going now."
"Just wait at home for Xiao Hui to come over. Since she's agreed to come, it's unlikely she'll turn back halfway, haha."
Zhang Ru chuckled, "Alright then, I won't go with you."
"Chen Xuan, be sure to drive safely on the road tomorrow."
"Got it, I'll drive carefully," Chen Xuan softly replied.
That night, several people had a bit of trouble sleeping.
Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi couldn't sleep, racking their brains on how to deal with Auntie's arrival tomorrow.
Zhang Jun was also pacing in his room, scratching his head for ideas to handle this.
Zhang Ru and Zhang Dehou couldn't sleep out of excitement, eagerly awaiting the next day to arrive.
On the other side, Zhang Hui found it equally hard to sleep, full of mixed emotions at the thought of returning to the Zhang Family the next day.
Yiyi and Dongzi were worried about visiting the Zhang Family, anxious about slipping up, and couldn't imagine what might unfold.
And so, they made it through the night.
The next morning, Zhang Hui set off with Yiyi and Dongzi to the high-speed railway station.
She called Zhang Ru to inform her they'll arrive in Jiangnan City by 5 PM.
Meanwhile, the Zhang Family had already begun preparing meticulously, organizing various food items.
They cleaned the courtyard inside and out.
After lunch, Zhang Ru specifically said, "Your aunt's train arrives at five in the afternoon, make sure to go a bit earlier to wait."
"Got it, Mom, we are well aware," Lin Wanxi replied softly.
Chen Xuan glanced at Zhang Jun, and they exchanged a silent understanding.
Zhang Jun nodded slightly, silently assuring Chen Xuan that he would do his best to cover for him.
After lunch and a short rest, Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi drove to the high-speed railway station.
After waiting for about half an hour, Zhang Hui and the others emerged from the station.
"Auntie!"
Lin Wanxi ran over enthusiastically, a warm smile on her face.
"Wanxi, it's been years, and you've grown more beautiful!"
Zhang Hui praised with a smile.
"Mother-in-law," Chen Xuan nodded with a smile.
"Chen Xuan, you're here too, that's great."
Zhang Hui beamed, "Come back with me to the Zhang Family, so Yiyi's grandpa can meet you."
Uh...
Chen Xuan had a distressed look, worried it would come to this.
Lin Wanxi understood Chen Xuan's concern and quickly spoke, "Auntie, when we get to the Zhang Family, it's best not to mention Chen Xuan in front of Grandpa."
"Why is that?" Zhang Hui looked confused, "He and Yiyi are already together. I was even planning to arrange their wedding after the New Year. Why can't we mention it?"
Chen Xuan had a peculiar expression, Xiao Yiyi's face was flushed, and Lin Wanxi also looked uncomfortable.
"Auntie, don't you know Grandpa's temperament and character?"
"To be blunt, he's a bit old-fashioned. He was so against you back then, and against my mom too, it was obvious."
"And now, Yiyi just graduated from college. If you bring this up, how would Grandpa interpret it? Would he think you're hinting or even mocking his actions back then?"
"This would ruin the festive atmosphere of the family reunion, wouldn't it?"
Lin Wanxi hurriedly said.
Zhang Hui nodded slightly, "You're right, Wanxi, your considerations are thorough, thanks for the timely reminder."
"But if Chen Xuan comes along, what should I say if Grandpa asks?"
"Auntie, actually Grandpa already knows about Chen Xuan's identity, so there's no need to point it out, just let things happen naturally," Lin Wanxi said with a gentle laugh.
"Mom, cousin is right," Xiao Yiyi quickly added.
"Alright then, let's head back to the Zhang Family," Zhang Hui smiled eagerly, eager to return.
Chen Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, giving Lin Wanxi a thumbs-up, grateful for his quick-thinking wife.
They had managed to avoid a minor crisis!
But he couldn't let his guard down, this was just the beginning…
