Chapter 127: Chapter 114: Preparing to Go to Beijing, the Jiang Family Arrives (3rd Watch) Chapter 127: Chapter 114: Preparing to Go to Beijing, the Jiang Family Arrives (3rd Watch) The Shen Family didn’t linger long in Pingjiang, staying for three days before catching the earliest flight back, planning to return when Elder Tang underwent surgery in Beijing.

The old man, however, said directly,

“I might have surgery after the New Year, you don’t need to go back and forth.”

Shen Lao kept reminding Tang Yunxian and Tang Wan to notify him immediately if anything happened, but after setting the date for the trip to Beijing, they didn’t inform the Shen Family.

The surgery was scheduled for mid-twelfth lunar month, but the trip to Beijing was set for the day after Winter Solstice.

A cold wave struck from the north, and temperatures in Pingjiang plummeted several degrees.

On Winter Solstice day, a thick fog blanketed the early morning, and Tang Wan received a yellow fog warning for the Pingjiang District on her mobile phone when she left the house.

“Wanwan, be careful when you go out,” the old man advised. “Or wait until the fog clears before leaving.”

“There’s too much to do, I’m afraid I won’t finish, and I still have to pack tonight. There’s just not enough time.”

Tang Wan said this as she took her car keys and walked out.

She had to meet with Manager Chen to discuss work, but most importantly, she needed to select gifts for the Jiang Family and bring local specialties. She had indirectly consulted Jiang Jinsang, but in the end, she still had to choose them herself.

Apart from Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Jinsang’s eldest brother, the elderly matriarch of the Jiang Family was still alive.

This old lady, Jiangjiang had mentioned a few times, but Jiang Jinsang rarely did, and Tang Wan didn’t know if this was due to poor relations between them. She didn’t ask in detail, and without understanding, she wouldn’t even know where to start with selecting a gift.

Yiyu Tea House

When Tang Wan arrived at the private room, it wasn’t yet time for the storytelling and ballad singing, so the tea house was exceptionally quiet; Manager Chen had already brewed tea for her.

“How long will you be gone?”

“It’s uncertain, it depends on how well my grandfather recovers from the surgery. If all goes well, we can return to Pingjiang before the New Year.” Tang Wan took a sip of the hot tea, “How is everything at the studio?”

“Everything that was damaged before has been fixed. The He Family compensated with money, but things like the computers weren’t damaged. It was just some chairs and whatnot that didn’t cost much. Yet, the He Family gave a hundred thousand, claiming it was for the employees’ medical expenses and some compensation for loss of work.”

Manager Chen chuckled lightly, “They’ve been trying to meet with you through me several times, but I’ve declined each time.”

“The He Family is having real trouble recently; I’ve heard that many businesses would rather breach contracts than work with them. If this continues, bankruptcy isn’t far off.”

Tang Wan laughed dryly, “They haven’t reached out to me directly during this time.”

“I guess they didn’t dare. Besides, with Elder Shen present before, his temperament is not something others might know, but the He Family certainly does. Recently they’ve been everywhere begging…”

“I’m leaving for Beijing tomorrow. Whatever happens to their family has nothing to do with me.”

…

After chatting for a while longer, the two prepared to go their separate ways.

“Where are you going? Do you need a ride?” Manager Chen asked.
