Chapter 496: A Difficult Task

Joy sang her grandfather a birthday song and danced. Shu Laide hadn’t been so happy in a long time.

His worry about Shu Pan’s marriage was finally a weight off his mind.

“Dad, Auntie Lu, I’d like to discuss something with you. We’ll be moving to Qiyuan soon. We have plenty of room there and we’d like you to move in with us. That way, we’ll be able to take care of each other.” Gu Shaoting suggested knowing well that Shu Pan’s biggest worry was her parents.

“Thank you for the thought, but your Auntie Lu and I are used to living here. It’s also troublesome to move.” Shu Laide’s main concern was the inconveniences if they moved in with their son-in-law. They enjoyed their freedom too much.

“Qiyuan is a very nice place. You’ll be more comfortable living there.” Gu Shaoting continued to persuade them.

Shu Pan was very touched. It was enough that he had the intention.

“If you’d like to have your own space, our place at Shuimu Qinghua will be available after we move out. You are welcome to live there. If you continue to live here, we won’t be able to take care of you if something happens.” Gu Shaoting said earnestly.

“Don’t worry, we are not at that stage yet. We’ll tell you when the need arises.” Shu Laide said gratefully.

It seemed that Gu Shaoting had taken everything to heart this time, so he could rest assured.

“Are you planning to hold a wedding this time around?” Auntie Lu asked because other than registering their marriage, they didn’t do anything else the first time they got married.

Every woman dreamed about the day she donned a wedding gown. Shu Pan didn’t have a wedding last time. Auntie Lu wondered if she could make up for it this time around.

“There will be a wedding. I’ll let you know when the date is set.” Gu Shaoting said firmly.

He would give Shu Pan an unforgettable wedding this time around.

“Okay, we’ll go to Bin City when we attend your wedding.” Shu Laide said.

“Daddy, so Grandpa and Grandma are not moving in with us?” Joy was slightly disappointed.

“No, they are not. If you miss them, Daddy will send you back here to play with Grandpa and Grandma during your school holidays, okay?” Gu Shaoting comforted Joy.

He understood how she felt. Joy grew up with her Grandpa and Grandma, so it was expected that she would miss them.

“Fine. I’ll miss them when we go home.” Joy said dejectedly.

Gu Shaoting patted her head.

…

Mr. Zhang felt that the most difficult task in the world was to pick someone up at the airport.

According to the message sent by CEO Gu, Charlene’s flight was scheduled to land at 2 p.m. He and the driver left for the airport at noon. He was worried that there would be a traffic jam on the way, so it was better to set off earlier.

He was right. Traffic was bad on their way to the airport. When they finally arrived, there was also a sea of people in the airport. Announcements through the P.A. system mixed with noises from the crowd created a rather chaotic scene.

Mr. Zhang found the arrival gate and looked at the time. It was almost time, so he quickly took out a placard with Charlene’s name on it.

He admired his foresight. The arrival gate would be packed with people when flights land and they had never met before. It was necessary to hold up a placard for his guest.

He was quite pleased with himself. Why did the heavens give him such a brilliant mind?

Just as he was indulging in his narcissism, a slender figure walked towards him from afar.

Mr. Zhang’s heart raced as he watched the woman walk closer.

She was really attractive. Many people at the airport were staring at her.

It wasn’t because of anything else but because she had a beautiful face and an elegant but slightly playful demeanor.

The beautiful woman walked up to him.

“Are you Mr. Zhang? Did Brother Gu ask you to pick me up?” The woman wasn’t just beautiful, she also had a sweet and gentle voice.

“Yes. Hello, you are Miss Charlene, right?” Mr. Zhang quickly snapped out of his daze.
