He Yuanjiang nodded and said with a smile: “I am thinking the same thing as you. Although we have many contacts and deep friendships with friends in the United States, it is really inappropriate to notify them to attend the wedding. If they don’t want to come, it seems that we are asking for trouble. If you are willing to come, we can’t save face, so my idea is that after we get married, we can take time to go back to the United States together. You have your social circle, and I also have mine. Then we can visit together. It’s enough to just introduce each other to each other’s friends, what do you think?”
Han Meiqing smiled happily and said, “I am thinking the same thing as you. After the wedding is over, I will take some time to go back to the United States. While revisiting my hometown, I can also see old friends.”
He Yuanjiang smiled and said: “That’s great, let’s just go to the United States for our honeymoon. What do you think?”
Han Meiqing said happily: “I’m sure it’s fine. The main thing is whether you can walk around the school.”
“No problem.” He Yuanjiang said with a smile: “I’ll tell the dean that it’s okay to take ten days and a half of marriage leave.”
With that said, He Yuanjiang added: “By the way, speaking of colleagues, as for the wedding, I have an idea to invite the dean and a few colleagues who are close to me, but we are both old after all, and China here pays attention to one thing. Favors come and go, and many of my colleagues are married, so instead of accepting gifts for our wedding, we invite everyone to come and witness it, and have a lively meal on the way, what do you think?”
Han Meiqing nodded and said with a smile: “It’s better not to accept gifts. Accepting gifts seems too philistine.”
He Yuanjiang asked her: “Are you still inviting your colleagues from the University for the Elderly?”
Han Meiqing thought for a while and said, “Please, we will work together in the future. We will see you with your head down and not up. If you don’t notify us of this kind of thing, people may complain about it.”
He Yuanjiang nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: “Then… where is Lao Xiao?”
“You mean Chang Kun…” Han Meiqing smiled awkwardly: “When I left the University for the Elderly today, he said he wanted to treat me to dinner. I said I didn’t have time, so I mentioned the marriage to him. Logically speaking, He said that since he already knows, we should also invite him.”
He Yuanjiang asked in surprise: “Old Xiao wants to invite you to dinner? Did you tell me why?”
“No.” Han Meiqing smiled and said, “It’s probably just a meal between old classmates.”
In fact, Han Meiqing is a smart woman.
She guessed Xiao Changkun’s intention when Xiao Changkun invited her to have a meal near the school, so while she declined, she took the opportunity to tell him that she was going to marry He Yuanjiang, in order to make Xiao Changkun give up on her. After all, she had already After completely getting over the relationship back then and preparing to get married again, she naturally didn’t want Xiao Changkun to have any illusions about herself.
However, she didn’t want He Yuanjiang to think too much, so she deliberately downplayed Xiao Changkun’s possible true intentions.
But He Yuanjiang is also very smart. He knows the past history of Han Meiqing and Xiao Changkun, and also knows that the Chinese name of Han Meiqing’s son Paul is Han Mukun. Although he also believes that Han Meiqing will definitely not have feelings for him anymore, when he thinks of Han Meiqing He has been obsessed with Xiao Changkun for more than thirty years, and he is still a little jealous in his heart.
However, smart people will not dwell too much on a person’s past, especially the past that has nothing to do with themselves.
Therefore, he did not show any jealousy and just said with a smile: “Since you have mentioned it to Lao Xiao, wouldn’t it be inappropriate not to invite him?”
Han Meiqing nodded and said: “It is indeed inappropriate not to invite him, but it is also inappropriate to invite him. After all, he is a man with a family. When inviting him, the invitation must state that he and his whole family are invited, but when I think of him I can’t help but feel dizzy when it comes to my wife Ma Lan. To be honest, I really don’t want to have anything to do with that woman anymore, so this matter is a dilemma. I can’t clearly tell Xiao Changkun that he is the only person to be invited, right? What if this is rumored? From what Ma Lan hears, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.”
