Chapter 551: Chapter 551: He Couldn’t Be Dating Someone, Could He?

Cui Jianhua looked at his two nephews and niece, took out two red envelopes from his pocket, and handed them over, "Ran Ran, Hao Hao, take these. This is your uncle’s New Year gift for you."

Like before, the two children looked to Lu Yixuan, and after seeing their father nod, they accepted the envelopes, "Thank you, Uncle."

After sitting down, Cui Jianhua exchanged a few pleasantries and then found himself unable to join in; they were talking about people and things he didn’t know.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before Lu Yiting called out, "Dinner is ready."

At the dinner table, Geng Mingli said, "There’s something I’d like to share with everyone today. Jianhua is seeing someone. He’s planning to get married next month, and I’ll notify everyone in advance once the date is set."

Lu Xinyi frowned and said, "How come you’ve never mentioned this before?"

Geng Mingli laughed, "I haven’t known for long either. Who would have thought that yesterday Jianhua told me the other side is urging a wedding. The girl’s brother is also getting married and is waiting to use the house as his bridal home."

Cui Yueyue looked up at her own brother and asked, "Brother, what does your future wife do?"

Cui Jianhua, slightly uncomfortable, replied, "She works at a textile factory."

Cui Yueyue said, "She’s not a factory floor worker, is she? Brother, there are so many unmarried individuals in our compound, why would you pick a factory worker?"

Geng Mingli, somewhat annoyed, said, "What are you talking about? What’s wrong with a worker? Without the factory workers, where would your clothes come from? What’s wrong with your brother marrying a worker?"

Cui Yueyue retorted, "That’s going to be the laughingstock of the whole compound."

Lu Xinyi ignored Cui Yueyue and looked at Cui Jianhua, "Marriage is a serious matter. As long as her character is good and you like each other, everything else is trivial."

Cui Jianhua, a bit embarrassed, admitted that he hadn’t really had much contact with the girl. He had pulled her out of the way of an oncoming car two months ago, and the next day she had sought him out.

Afterwards, she would visit his workplace every now and then. A few days ago, she outright asked when he would come to her home to request her hand in marriage. He was dumbfounded at the time.

But the girl kept pestering him whenever she had time, saying that if he didn’t marry her, her family would just marry her off to someone else, as her brother needed her current living space as his bridal home.

He didn’t know why, but he somehow agreed, dragging his feet for a few days before finally telling his mother last night.

Cui Jianhua said, "Dad, here’s what I’m thinking. I’m not getting any younger, and after I get married, I plan to move out. I’ve already applied for a dormitory at my workplace, and I’ll go check in a few days to see if I can get it allocated sooner."

Cui Yueyue complained, "Why move out? Our home isn’t lacking rooms."

He didn’t want his brother to move out; otherwise, he’d have no one to talk to in the house, feeling like he lived at someone else’s charity.

Lu Xinyi glanced at Geng Mingli, seeking her opinion.

Geng Mingli spoke, "That’s a good idea. Once the apartment is allocated, we’ll go and clean it up. We’ll see what’s missing and furnish it."

Cui Jianhua understood his mother’s intentions and could sympathize with her difficulties, which is why he’d brought it up on his own initiative.

Uncle Lu had been quite good to them over the years, but his own biological son didn’t live in the compound, so a stepson like himself had an even smaller claim to living there.

That’s why he had applied for married housing from his workplace early on. From now on, visiting during holidays for a meal, with everyone managing their own affairs, would be best. Living together might lead to minor conflicts and harm their relationship over time.

The matter was settled, and Lu Xinyi said, "Let us know if you need anything."

Leaving the military compound, Lu Yichen drove his sister and Big Brother’s family to the Gu Family’s Gate. Once everyone got out of the car, he said through the window, "Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, you take them inside first. I have some things to take care of."

Without waiting for a reply, he drove away.

Watching the car drive away, Big Sister-in-law Wang Xiaoxin suddenly remarked, "It’s the New Year; what business could Yichen have? Do you think he’s seeing someone?"

Lu Yixuan watched the car disappear into the distance, pondering, "If he really is seeing someone, that would be great."
