Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: Is It Still Possible to Cancel My Leave? (Tenth Update)

"Grandma, Dad, Aunt, Uncle." Zhang Qiang greeted everyone one by one, then said, "Sister, Brother-in-law, is this your son? He’s really adorable."

"Yes, indeed. Haoran, look, Uncle is back. Look, Uncle." Zhang Min hugged her son, holding Gao Haoran’s chubby little hand, greeting Zhang Qiang.

"Uncle came back in a hurry this time and didn’t bring any gifts for the baby, but next time, I’ll make it up to you." Zhang Qiang scratched his head awkwardly, explaining, "Sister, I did buy gifts for the baby, but they’re in Jing City, and I just came back from outside, so I didn’t bring them."

"It’s okay, we’re all family." After becoming a mother, Zhang Min became much more gentle and no longer as picky and restless as before.

Now, Zhang Min has become more family-oriented and understanding.

Zhang Qiang pinched Gao Haoran’s little hand, and the whole family happily shared a meal.

During the meal, everyone asked about Zhang Qiang’s work at the company and such, and Zhang Qiang answered one by one. With Zhang Qiang around, the dinner party was livelier.

When joyful things happen, one’s spirit naturally lifts, and Elder Mrs. Zhang appeared glowing, showing no signs of her previous illness.

"Zhang Qiang, did you just come back? When will you go to Jing City?" Zhang Hualian asked.

Seeing Zhang Qiang made her miss her own son at home even more.

Thinking of Tang Jun, Tang Yue, and the soon-to-be-married Lian Qingyang.

"I have a month’s vacation." Zhang Qiang replied uncertainly, as he would always stay home for a few more days whenever he visited.

"Qiangzi, how about meeting the girl Aunt Jiang introduced?"

Upon hearing that Zhang Qiang would stay home for a while, Liu Cuixong immediately had thoughts. This was such a good chance; if she could find Zhang Qiang a wife, that meant grandchildren to hold, didn’t it?

"Mom, there’s no need for introductions. I don’t like the ones you find."

Zhang Qiang had experienced his mother’s intentions before. So as soon as Liu Cuixong spoke, Zhang Qiang interrupted, saying, "I’m just staying home for a few days, then I’ll go to Sea City, and then to Jing City. I haven’t seen Tang Jun in a long time."

"And also Zaozao and Chenchen, I haven’t seen them in ages."

Zhang Qiang really liked Zaozao and Chenchen and would definitely go see them during vacation.

"You don’t like this one, and you don’t like that one either. Qiangzi, when do you think Mom can hold a grandson?" Liu Cuixong looked at Zhang Qiang unhappily and said, "Then tell me, what do you like?"

Zhang Qiang paused and said, "I don’t know either."

"Then you should go to meet the girl Aunt Jiang introduced." Liu Cuixong said, relentlessly giving Zhang Qiang no room to speak, "You’ll meet her tomorrow."

"Let me tell you, that girl is really nice. She’s pretty, her family is well established, and she works in the court. It’s such a respectable job." Liu Cuixong had secretly met the girl and thought she was great.

"Mom, I’m marrying a wife, not her job." Zhang Qiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Mom, are you trying to find me a wife or get yourself some face?"

The people Liu Cuixong introduced before were always those with a prestigious appearance, meant to save face for her. Thinking of living with such a girl, Zhang Qiang couldn’t help but shiver.

If he wanted to marry, he wanted to marry someone gentle, someone who liked to smile, so that every time he came home, he’d feel happy, and the house would be kept in perfect order.

"What are you talking about? Of course, it’s for you to get a wife. The face is secondary." Liu Cuixong wouldn’t admit her intentions. In her mind, her son was amazing, and only a girl from a similar background could deserve him.

"Mom, I’m not going."

Zhang Qiang turned and walked away, regardless of what Liu Cuixong said.

Just as he stepped out, he ran into Zhang Min.

"What’s wrong, is Mom nagging you again?" Zhang Min asked curiously, "Who’s Mom introducing to you this time?"

"What good can the girl Mom introduces be?" Zhang Qiang pouted, not that he didn’t trust his own mom’s judgment, but the people Liu Cuixong found were either daughters of wealthy families or from prestigious backgrounds.

Although the Zhang Family was no longer what it used to be and was quite prosperous in Shuanghe Town and Wangjiang City, there was still a big gap between them and really wealthy families, let alone prestigious ones. Zhang Qiang had been forced by Liu Cuixong to meet a few before, and they were all high-maintenance young ladies who seemed more interested in probing about Tang Yue than actually meeting him.

Zhang Qiang just didn’t like that.

Were they trying to marry him, or were they hoping to use him to get closer to his cousin Tang Yue?

"You’re not getting any younger, and since you’re still not married, Mom’s obviously anxious." Zhang Min comforted and said, "I heard Lian Qingyang is getting married too. Even though you didn’t grow up together, he is still Aunt’s biological son. Imagine, Mom must be even more anxious for you to get a wife."

"If Mom sees him getting married, she might rush me even more." Zhang Qiang felt a headache coming on at the thought of that, saying, "Fortunately, it’s in the second half of the year, and I’ll be too busy with work to come back. She wouldn’t be able to rush even if she wanted to."

At the company, Liu Cuixong always considered Zhang Qiang’s situation and never bothered him there. She only called if she needed anything. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Zhang Min looked at Zhang Qiang with a complicated expression and said, "Qiangzi, do you not know that Lian Qingyang is getting married on May 1st?"

"What?" Zhang Qiang’s eyes widened.

He just realized he had a forty-day leave. Doesn’t this mean that he would still be on vacation during Lian Qingyang’s wedding?

"A few days ago, Tang Yue called home, and even Lian Qingyang called Aunt to talk about the May 1st wedding. So, Qiangzi, you should really find yourself a wife. Otherwise, you know Mom’s temperament..."

Zhang Min kindly reminded.

Zhang Qiang: "..."

Zhang Qiang couldn’t believe it and went to verify, saying, "Aunt, is Lian Qingyang really getting married on May 1st?"

"Yes." Zhang Hualian said with a smile, "It’s great that you’ll be on vacation. You must come and enjoy the wedding feast."

"Aunt, didn’t they say the wedding was in the second half of the year?"

"Why did they move it ahead?"

Zhang Qiang nodded, his mind racing. Can he go back and cancel his vacation now?

It’s probably too late, isn’t it? What did the director say to him?

To go home and find a wife, take care of lifelong matters.

He took leave not to settle down, but to spend time with Grandma and then head to Sea City.

"Yes, when we checked, May 1st turned out to be the best day, so it was moved up. Why, don’t you have a long vacation too?" Zhang Hualian asked, puzzled.

Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Aunt, nothing, just a bit curious. Um, I have something to do, so I’ll head out first."
