Chapter 587 Spectators
-
The Men and Liu families had arranged to come together.
Wenlan and Menrong supported Grandma Men on either side. The old lady was nearly ninety years old, but her complexion was rosy and she was full of energy. This was all thanks to Huayan's fruit and tonics.
Men Rong is now a judge at the Kyoto Intermediate People's Court, exuding an air of authority. Seeing so many people, I couldn't help but sigh:
"Jiu'er has such a wide network of connections. This little girl has grown to a level that is hard for us to reach."
Wenlan smiled and said, "Jiu'er has been outstanding since she was a child. It's not surprising that she has grown up to be like this."
Wenlan, who has already retired, now devotes herself to taking care of her family. In addition to taking care of Grandma Men, she also helps take care of Men Sheng and Men Rong's children.
"Who can argue with that! My brother and I owe a great deal to Jiu'er for our achievements today."
Men Rong would say this whenever she had the chance.
"Our Zhiyi is where she is today thanks to Jiu'er."
Zhou Yuchan, who was walking beside her, echoed her agreement.
"Godmother, and me too. I owe my success today to Jiu'er."
The speaker was Xiao Guai, who had already recognized Liu Heming and Zhou Yuchan as her godparents. Hehe! Actually, they were her biological parents, but she couldn't explain why.
After Xiao Guai gained a body, she often followed Hua Yan around town. At first, everyone thought she was Liu Zhiyi, but later they found out that she was a girl who looked very much like Liu Zhiyi.
When Liu Zhiyi saw Xiao Guai, a sense of familiarity washed over her. However, Hua Yan didn't say anything, and she didn't ask. She simply tried to get along with Xiao Guai. As expected, the two hit it off immediately and eventually became sworn sisters. When Zhou Yuchan and Liu Heming found out, they invited Xiao Guai to their home. The deep-seated closeness between them made them accept Xiao Guai as their goddaughter without any hesitation.
Haha! Although we can't openly acknowledge each other, this is the best option.
"Yes, Jiu'er brought you to our side, giving us another daughter."
Zhou Yuchan affectionately stroked Xiao Guai's hand, feeling grateful not only to Hua Yan but also to Heaven for its kindness. For the first twenty years of her life, she had worried herself sick over her only daughter, but had given her no hope whatsoever. Until Hua Yan appeared, her life underwent a complete transformation.
Liu Zhiyi held Xiao Guai's hand, genuinely loving this god-sister who resembled her so much.
The woman in front was chatting about everyday things, while Liu Heming and Men Buhui in the back were talking about work.
"Old Men, your burden is even heavier now."
Liu Heming felt no jealousy whatsoever; he simply felt sorry for his old subordinate.
"Commander, as long as the country needs me, I will do my utmost."
“Now that you hold a higher position than me, you can no longer call me ‘commander’.”
Liu Heming said with a smile, feeling a sense of comfort in his heart.
"You will always be my superior, no matter what position I rise to."
Men Buhui said sincerely.

He Fang and Bao Wenjun brought Bao Qixuan and Bao Qiyuan with them. Over the years, Hua Yan has maintained contact with them, and every Spring Festival, Kong Wen would represent Hua Yan to deliver New Year's gifts to them.
Hua Yan was too busy, but she would still visit He Fang every year. She would never forget the person who had given her countless help in her past life.
Hua Yan was most concerned about He Fang and Bao Wenjun's health, and would leave some nourishing pills with her every time she visited. Even if she didn't have time to go herself, she would send someone to deliver fruit and nourishing pills to them regularly.
"Wenjun, Jiu'er is finally married. This child is too career-oriented, which has delayed her until now."
He Fang's face was full of smiles; she was happy for Hua Yan.
“Jiu’er said that she and Taiji had already registered their marriage and held a wedding in Shengjing, but they were both too busy, so the wedding in Kyoto was delayed until now.”
Bao Wenjun held his wife's hand, his face full of affection. He was grateful to Hua Yan and his wife from the bottom of his heart. It was Hua Yan who saved his life and his wife who gave him the chance to live. If it weren't for He Fang's special care for Hua Yan, he believed that Hua Yan would not have had the opportunity to treat his illness.
"Mom, Jiu'er is too outstanding. If Taiji wasn't just as outstanding, I don't know how many people would feel resentful."
After Bao Qiyuan finished speaking, he glanced at his older brother unintentionally.
He Fang and Bao Wenjun exchanged a glance. They could see through their eldest son's thoughts. Back then, Hua Yan was too young, so they didn't take it seriously. But now that their eldest son was in his thirties and didn't even have a girlfriend, they were starting to worry.
They also hoped to have a further relationship with Hua Yan, but Hua Yan was too outstanding. Even though they secretly thought that their eldest son was good enough, he was still a little bit inferior to Hua Yan.
Bao Qixuan also felt the gazes of his parents and younger brother. He turned his head to look at them and said resentfully:
"Jiu'er is so outstanding, no one can truly be worthy of her."
Haha! The implication is that I'm not good enough for him, and neither are others.
He Fang shook her head helplessly and said soothingly:
"No matter what, Jiu'er is now married. We should wish her happiness in her marriage and a fulfilling life."
"Yes! Sister Jiu'er will definitely be happy."
As Bao Qiyuan spoke, he gently pinched Bao Qixuan's arm.
"You two are older than Jiu'er, and you haven't brought back a girlfriend yet. It's really worrying."
He Fang's timely urging to get married also put an end to Bao Qixuan's hopes.
"My brother isn't married yet, how can I get married first? You should worry about him first!"
Bao Qiyuan was telling the truth; he didn't bring his girlfriend home because he didn't want to upset Bao Qixuan.
He Fang nodded in the air, then reluctantly lowered her hand, leaning against her husband, not wanting to say anything more.
Bao Qixuan seemed unaffected, staring blankly at Hua Yan's wedding photo. How could such an outstanding girl not belong to him?

The Fu family also came. Fu Youguo, the head of the family, is over ninety years old, but he still came to attend Hua Yan's wedding despite being advised against it.
Thanks to Hua Yan's care, Fu Youguo's health was restored. He survived two brushes with death, and Hua Yan regularly sent him nourishing pills.
Currently, Hua Yan's nourishing pills can only be obtained by her closest friends. There's no way around it; most of the medicinal herbs can only be found in Plum Blossom Valley, and they simply cannot be grown in the outside environment. Liu Zhiyi has tried countless times without success.
Now Xiao Guai is in charge of making these nourishing pills, while Hua Yan has stepped down to the second line.
The Fu family also knew that without Hua Yan, not only would Fu Youguo not have lived such a long life, but Fu Lin and Fu Wang's parents would not have been so healthy. Therefore, in addition to the kinship that was not related by blood, they felt more gratitude towards Hua Yan.
Fu Lin and Fu Wang did not join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Fu Lin went to the Ministry of Commerce, while Fu Wang ventured into the business world on his own. A large part of the reason for this was to express his gratitude and help Hua Yan.
Fu Lin probably had more on his mind. Although he was usually quiet and reserved, his thoughts were deeper than Fu Wang's. He was probably good at hiding it, and no one noticed that he had other ideas, but Fu Wang, being a twin, still sensed it.
On one occasion, Fuwang said:
“Brother, Jiu’er is a fairy from heaven, someone we can only look up to. I only want to do my best to help her and protect her. This is my greatest wish in this life.”
Fu Lin also understood his brother's implied meaning, nodded, feeling somewhat lost, yet also somewhat knowing.

Ye Zhuang's family also arrived. Ye Maosheng brought his entire family in, and like Fu Youguo, they were all Hua Yan's godfathers, so their treatment was naturally different from others, with a special person in charge of receiving them.
The person in charge of receiving the Ye family was Fan Hua, Hua Yan's administrative secretary in her previous life.
In this life, they met Hua Yan at a post office in Shenzhen because of a phone call.
Although I didn't become Hua Yan's administrative secretary in this life, I did become Miao Xianxing's administrative secretary.
That's just how wonderful fate is.
Fan Hua's failure to become Hua Yan's administrative secretary was related to Hu Zhi'ang. In his previous life, he discovered that Fan Hua had inadvertently revealed Hua Yan's whereabouts, which Tao Hua then found out, and finally Jian Shixun.
In his past life, when Hu Zhiang personally killed Jian Shixun, he learned the whole story and who had been bribed. Although Fan Hua wasn't the direct murderer, he no longer felt comfortable placing her near Hua Yan.
As for Tao Hua, who leaked Hua Yan's whereabouts, he hasn't encountered her yet. If he does, although he won't kill her, he won't let her off easily either.
Although Tao Hua needed money because her younger brother had a terminal illness, Hua Yan had never treated her unfairly. If she could explain the situation to Hua Yan, Hua Yan would definitely help her.
In his previous life, when Hu Zhiang found Tao Hua, she had already committed suicide by poisoning herself and had written a suicide note, which was full of repentance towards Hua Yan. However, Hua Yan could no longer see it.
Fortunately, in this life, Hu Zhiang did not encounter Tao Hua, so he did not have to worry about her framing Hua Yan.
Hu Zhiang trusted Miao Xianxing the most because in their past life, they had protected what Hua Yan left behind and fulfilled her last wishes together. Although they were old acquaintances in their past life, Hu Zhiang did not deliberately get close to Miao Xianxing in this life, because they were each responsible for different tasks assigned to them by Hua Yan.
Important figures were personally received by Miao Xianxing and Fan Hua. At this time, Miao Xianxing was making arrangements for Hua Jingxing and Liu Fengzhi.
