Chapter 337 – Getting married. Hurrah. Hurrah. (3)
That was all Yan Shuyu needed to know. She felt much better now. All she cared about was whether they cared about her son wholeheartedly. After all, happiness was important and she was not one to dwell on the details.
Mother Ye was still going on. “Yuanbao’s generation uses the ‘Heng’ character in their names. Why don’t we change his name to Ye Hengjia? We can still refer to him as Yuanbao or Yuanjia in private.”
Yan Shuyu didn’t want them to change his name. She felt that Zhang Yuanjia was a pretty good name already and also quite fitting for a male lead of a romance novel. For sure she was the one who came up with it originally.
There was not much she could say or do as far as adding his name onto the genealogy was concerned other than following their rules and changing his name to Ye Hengjia. At least part of her original effort was retained. Yan Shuyu was pleased about that. Patting the little kiddo, she asked with a smile, “What do you think?”
Zhang Yuanjia nodded without any objection. He even knew to express his appreciation. “Thank you, Grandma.”
“You are welcome.” Mother Ye had a big smile on her immediately and she took the opportunity to chat with him. “Great Grandpa and Great Grandma along with many aunties and uncles will be home to meet you day after tomorrow…”
The Zhou was not a big family and, before that, it was just Zhang Yuanjia and his mother. He didn’t think that he’d one day come across all these terms that he had only heard of from textbooks before. His eyes widened curiously.
Seeing that he was interested in the topic, Mother Ye went into further details. She even mentioned to him about returning to their old home in Yiyang and have an official ceremony in a temple to show their appreciation to their ancestors. Zhang Yuanjia found all of those very interesting. Mother Ye changed the subject abruptly and said, “Our Yuanbao likes piano, right? Grandma will go with you to buy a piano tomorrow so you can play for her in the future. What do you think?”
Zhang Yuanjia nodded inadvertently and only noticed that perhaps he should not have done that after he had done so. He quickly turned to look at his mother.
Yan Shuyu wasn’t someone that petty. The fact that Mother Ye was able to get close to her son so quickly partly was due to her ability and patience but also because she truly cared about the little kiddo. Her son for sure wasn’t a Foolish, Fair, and Sweet who’d lose his mind when someone just sweet talk him a little. Yan Shuyu didn’t mind that at all. She nodded and said, “Sure, you can go.”
Zhang Yuanjia, even after his mother’s approval, did not forget about his good brother. He quickly reached out, held his hand, and said, “And Xiao Yi is coming with too.”
Before Yan Shuyu could say anything, Mother Ye had already nodded like someone without any principles. “Sure, bring your brother with too.”
Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but sighed that such was the power of a skipped generation. The elegant and graceful Mother Ye no longer resemble a high lady in front of her oldest grandson.
And, just like that, plans had been made happily. Ye Rongchen came with his father and mother early next morning to pick the children up. Yan Shuyu and the boss did not join them. The two planned to take the opportunity to look at houses.
Even though the boss said they would be buying properties in the capital, but that really was not necessary. He had properties over the entire world and, naturally, quite a few in the capital as well. All of them in wealthy and nice locations.
Yan Shuyu’s job was to pick up a couple that she liked from all of these and communicate her ideas with the remodeling team. Then all was left was just for them to be readied for moving in. After all, now that her son had rejoined the Ye family, they would probably be traveling here quite often over the summer and winter holidays and would be staying for a while each time. It was best to decorate them to her likings.
They spent quite a few days in the capital and went with the Ye family to visit their home town and, finally, Zhang Yuanjia’s “magnificent act of rejoining the Ye family had come to a conclusion and his name had officially be changed to Ye Hengjia.
Yan Shuyu didn’t have too much time to feel emotional about that before the boss had dragged her back to start the wedding planning. The very first thing that needed her attention was to pick out a location. The boss had someone brought over information on a few private islands and had her picked one out of them.
Yan Shuyu was very dumbfounded at first. Rich people were this upscale already? Not even a yacht or a castle was good enough? Now a private island is the standard?
Once she started reading the information and watching the video clips on these islands, she was excited right away. So wonderful to be getting married. They even own the private island and could name it with their anniversary. The boss was truly wonderful.
