in-faced. Instead, she wore light makeup, her hair was carefully styled, and she wore a white shirt that was both professional and elegant. 。He gave her a curt nod in greeting. 。On the other hand, Lu...But to let go of the wedding completely wasn't his style either. He had to be hands-on with the big picture, things like the theme, style, and overall planning of the wedding. Cheng Zhimín would be responsible for the guest list and finding a wedding planner to handle the specific execution details.

Cheng Zhimin is worried that during the Spring Festival, many people will get married and all the good wedding venues and hotels will be booked up. That's why she thinks it's always a good idea to prepare a few months in advance. According to her family's maid, some hotels need to be booked a year in advance, and they are already a bit late with their preparations now.

Cheng Zhimin couldn't say how much she liked Shu Tinglan, her daughter-in-law, but she really liked her. Shu Tinglan was low-key and never boasted about her identity, nor did she use her status to gain favors, which pleased Zhuo Hong very much; besides, she was knowledgeable, polite, and considerate. The children knew that she cared about them after they were brought back to Shenzhou from the capital, so they would have a video call with her every night. Sometimes Cheng Zhimin couldn't help herself and would give them pointers on their small family, just like this wedding. She wanted to help them organize it, and Shu Tinglan agreed, thinking that as long as she was happy, anything was fine.

Given the position of the Zhu family and Zhu YUAN's wealth, for her to be so low-key and not flaunt it at all, while still working diligently, is truly rare. That's why Cheng Zhimin grew increasingly fond of her the more they interacted. Thinking back on what she had done in the past to try and break them apart, she now found it unbelievable.

She could only blame it on menopause back then, many things were unthoughtful, emotions were magnified infinitely. Now she truly has a happy family and everything is going well.

Zuo Yu'an and Shu

Tinglan chatted for a while about what to do at the wedding later. Tinglan's throat was uncomfortable, mainly because Zhuo Yu'an was talking. She thought everything he said was good and okay.

Shu Tinglan is good at this. She doesn't worry about things she doesn't care about, and she never criticizes or gives unsolicited advice on how others do things. She thinks it's fine and acceptable.

Just like before, Zhuo Yu'an cooked for her. She didn't cook herself; she ate whatever he made, without any complaints.

Zhuo Yu'an smiled, "You think everything is fine and dandy, which makes me feel like you don't care about the wedding at all."

Although the words contain a hint of complaint, the tone is normal. Because I know her too well, I wouldn't really be angry.

Shuting Lan sincerely said, "As long as you are there at the wedding, everything else doesn't matter."

This answer was enough, Zhuo Yu'an's heart instantly brightened, and there were no other requirements.

"Then you think about these days, who are the guests you need to invite, and give me a list."

Cheng Zhimin wanted to book a table at the restaurant. He asked her several times how many people would be attending, and today he remembered to casually mention it again.

"Okay, I've got it figured out. You know, her parents are both gone now, and after what happened with her father, most of the relatives in Qining don't even come around anymore. So, if we invite anyone, it would just be a few friends and some colleagues."

After dinner, Zhuo Yu'an sent her back to the law firm. On the way, he reminded her again about the demolition of the village cluster.

“You ask Gu Ruandong to find a few people to accompany you. If he doesn't, I'll find some for you here.”

Over there, it's a mixed bag of people. She's so dedicated to her work, always rushing to be the first one there, afraid someone might take advantage of her.

"Okay, I'll handle it myself."

"He's just being too cautious," Shu Tinglan sometimes found Zhu YUAN AN annoying, "he's really 'too wordy,'" she thought. She wouldn't worry about Shu Xiaohe and Shu Xiaonian this much, he was even more overbearing than an old father.

The scorned person knew his place well. He didn't say another word when he reached the law firm's doorstep. He only said, "See you at home after work," before leaving. He was aware of his low standing in the family, which had now plummeted even further.

Shu Tinglan finished a phone meeting with a client in the afternoon, then checked some information and wrote a document before leaving work. After putting her two children to bed that evening, she remembered what Zhuo Yu'an had said about sending the guest list for the wedding banquet to his mother in advance. So, she started looking through her address book carefully. Besides her good friends Lin Zhifei and Cheng Chen, Yi Muyang and his family, there were also colleagues from Lanshan Law Firm now, as well as Lawyer Sun and Director Xiao, Zhou Ming and others. After counting them all up, there were less than 20 people in total.

It's not usually a big deal, but when it came time to plan her wedding, she realized there were no parents or relatives to invite. Even though her parents had passed away years ago, she had gotten used to it. But at this moment, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness and stared blankly at her phone book.

Zhuo Yu an could understand her feelings. He hugged her into his arms and kissed her forehead, saying: "If you feel uncomfortable, we won't have this wedding."

Everything is considered with her feelings as the top priority.

Shu Tinglan shook her head. "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought it would be nice if Mom was at the wedding. It's not sadness, it's just a little regret, just a little."

She knew she was already very good. She had a loving husband, two lovely children, and a job she enjoyed. Life was actually quite complete, this is probably also what it means to be a mother in...

Please protect her always.

Zuo Yu'an hugged her tightly and kissed her hair. In fact, even if he understood her and felt sorry for her, this kind of pain and regret could only be borne by her alone, others couldn't replace it.

"Am I being too sensitive again" she put down her phone, wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against him. Her mood was occasionally low, but with him there, it would quickly recover.

Zhuo Yu'an shook his head. Where was the melodrama He loved her being like this, not hiding herself in front of him at all.

Tonight, he had a change of heart. Knowing that she had run around the village in the morning and been busy with work all afternoon, leaving her emotionally drained, he didn't bother her. Instead, they simply cuddled up and chatted about meaningless things. After a while, Lan fell asleep in his arms, breathing softly and sleeping soundly. Zhuo Yu felt that this was also very good, a different kind of spiritual connection, and was very satisfied.

Both of them slept soundly that night. The next day, Tinglan was woken up by a phone call from the property manager of Gu's Group. They called directly and asked...

"Mr. Shu, how did you speak to the residents yesterday Today, several residents came to Gu's company to cause trouble."

Shutinglan, upon hearing this, hastily sat up in bed.

"What's going on I was just having a normal conversation with them yesterday."

“They started making a fuss last night, saying that a lawyer had told them that the commercial district developed by Gu Group would bypass their few houses and not develop them.” The real estate manager saw the people hanging banners in front of the Gu Group's gate and felt a headache coming on. He feared this kind of thing the most, so he was a little angry at Lawyer Shu right now.

"Got it, I'll be there soon." Shu Tinglan had already gotten up and quickly washed and dressed.

Going out.

"What's wrong" Zhu Yu'an also woke up. Seeing her getting ready to go out so early, he got up and decided to accompany her.t short on money.Since it was about saving Cheng Shao Fan's face, she accepted the car without a second thought. She would drive it for three days so that she could conveniently pick up and drop off H...
