Chapter 216: Married on the First of May
After school, Jian Ai went to the hospital to visit Wang Yunmei.
After Wang Yunmei’s surgery, she stayed at the intensive care unit for twenty-four hours for further observation. But by the time Jian Ai visited, Wang Yunmei had long been transferred out to the general ward.
The surgery was successful. The medicine she took later on was Xiao Zhen’s concoction, and it made her body recover exceptionally quickly.
When Jian Ai returned to South City, the sky was already dark. The lights in the yard were switched on. Jian Ai saw Chen Jin standing in the yard from afar.
“You’re finally back!” Chen Jin saw Jian Ai, and he immediately rushed out to welcome her.
Jian Ai was stunned. She looked up at the room with the lights on and then at Chen Jin. “What are you doing outside?”
“Someone from your family came. He said he’s your uncle!” Chen Jin lowered his voice. “You instructed me last time not to tell anyone about Auntie’s hospitalization. I didn’t say anything.”
Previously, Chen Jin accidentally told Uncle Wu about Wang Yunmei’s hospitalization, causing Uncle Wu to worry as well. After that, Jian Ai reminded Chen Jin that no matter who came, he would just say that Wang Yunmei had gone to work!
But when Chen Jin said that her uncle was around, Jian Ai couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Was it her Elder Uncle or her Younger Uncle?
As she was thinking, the two of them entered the house.
On the sofa in the living room, Wang Yunfa was sitting there smoking. When he heard the voice, he looked up.
“Uncle is here!”
Jian Ai greeted him and asked, “Is Grandma not here?”
Wang Yunfa casually stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. The calmness on his face was even greater than Jian Ai’s. “No, why are you back so late?”
Jian Ai walked to the sofa and sat down. She didn’t reply to Wang Yunfa but asked, “Why did Younger Uncle suddenly come to our house?”
Wang Yunfa had just bought a new house a while ago, so he should be preparing to get married now.
As expected, Wang Yunfa said, “I’m here to tell your mother that I’ll be getting married on the first of May. Your family should come along.”
“First of May?” Jian Ai was stunned. She asked again, “On the first day of May?”
Wang Yunfa nodded.
Jian Ai: “…”
Bai Zhou had probably booked tickets to Macau for that day.
However, she had no choice. Marriage was a big deal. No matter how cold she was to her uncle in her heart, their family still had to go together on a wedding day.
“Got it. I’ll tell my mother.” Although Jian Ai was reluctant, she still nodded.
Wang Yunfa didn’t stay long. After leaving the courtyard, he went in the direction of Wang Yunzhi’s house.
Chen Jin was a smart person and naturally could tell that Jian Ai was not on good terms with her uncle.
He didn’t say anything and just looked at Jian Ai and asked, “Have you eaten? I made dinner and waited for you.”
Jian Ai shook her head. “Not yet, heat the dishes. We’ll eat together.”
While Chen Jin went into the kitchen to heat the dishes, Jian Ai went to the yard to call Bai Zhou.
As expected, not only did Bai Zhou book a flight, but he also booked a hotel.
“Push it back for a day. We’ll leave on the night of May 1. We can also leave in the afternoon,” Jian Ai said into the phone.
Bai Zhou naturally obeyed Jian Ai’s orders. Without asking why he directly agreed.
After hanging up, Jian Ai looked up at the clear stars and sighed deeply again.
In her previous life, her uncle did not get married even when he was forty years old. But in this life, he was going to start a family.
Before the wedding, he would bring his wife to meet his in-laws for a meal.
However, it was obvious that their family would not get to eat this meal, and yet they were invited to the wedding. Jian Ai was also afraid that the wedding invitation was a guise to ask for their family’s money.
Compared to her Elder Uncle, Wang Yunzhong, Wang Yunfa was the most heartless person in the Wang family. To put it bluntly, he was an ingrate.
Over the years, Wang Yunmei had provided him with more than ten thousand yuan to help him pay off his gambling debts and clean up his mess. Now that he was getting married, he didn’t even let his sister see his wife.
