Even though the scene was filled with laughter, Hong San was very vigilant in his heart.
As long as Du Meihui was around, Hong San would never be able to relax completely.
At this time, Yu Hangxing suddenly said,"Hong San, I invited you here this time mainly for two things.”
Hong San hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and turned to look at Yu Hangxing."Uncle, tell me."
Yu Hangxing nodded." First, you and Mengzhu aren't young anymore. You're also at the age to talk about marriage. Since you two are still getting along well, my idea is to hold a wedding for you two as soon as possible."”
Hearing what Yu Hangxing said, Yu Mengzhu's face immediately turned red.
Hong San listened to Yu Hangxing seriously and said,""Uncle, since you didn't mention it today, Hong San also wanted to mention this to you. Mengzhu and I hit it off at first sight, and Mengzhu treated me very well.”
"So, Uncle, I want to formally mention to you that Hong San wants to marry Mengzhu.”
Yu Hangxing, who had taken the initiative to bring up this matter, was a little embarrassed. However, after hearing Hong San's words, he revealed a satisfied smile.
However, before he agreed, Yu Hangxing looked at his own daughter and asked,"Mengzhu, are you willing?"
Hearing her father ask her such a question, Yu Mengzhu's face turned red.
"Uncle Yu, do you think Mengzhu doesn't agree?" Du Meihui asked hurriedly.”
Hearing this, Yu Hangxing suddenly laughed heartily.
Yu Mengzhu, on the other hand, gave Du Meihui a disdainful look, warning her not to spout nonsense.
After a round of laughter, Yu Hangxing said,"Since Mengzhu doesn't have any objections, then as her father, I naturally won't have any objections. However, marriage is a major event in life. It's only polite for your family to say something about it.”
Yu Hangxing, as a person of status and in the era he lived in, still placed a lot of importance on etiquette.
Hong San naturally did not hesitate and said directly,"Uncle, don't worry. Hong San will be courteous.”
"Okay, okay, okay, okay."
After saying this, Hong San looked at Yu Hangxing and asked,""Uncle, you mentioned two things just now. This is the first one.”
Yu Hangxing nodded and said,"Yes, there's a second one."”
"You also know that I, Yu Hangxing, have no children in my life. I only have one daughter. As for me, I'm old and the world is changing. There are many things that I can't do even if I want to.”
"And I need someone to help me manage this business.”
"So, after you get married, I want to hand over all my businesses to you. What do you think?”
Hearing Yu Hangxing's words, Hong San immediately waved his hand and said,"Uncle, you can't do that."
"The main thing is that Hong San has a lot of things that he can't handle. Moreover, I don't know anything about shipping, so how can I handle it?”
"Uncle, you're still strong and healthy. It's not the right time to retire.”
Yu Hangxing saw that Hong San's words did not seem to be fake, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He, Yu Hangxing, had seen too many things in his life. This time, he wanted to ask for the last time. He wanted to test whether Hong San was dating Mengzhu for his family property or for something else.
However, ever since Hong San became the Chief Inspector of the British Settlement, his worries were greatly alleviated.
After all, with his current status, there were still many ways to earn money.
However, he still had some doubts in his heart.
Now, all of this was gone.
Yu Hangxing said firmly," I know my own body. I really can't handle it. You're still young, and it's time for you to be busy with your career. As for shipping, don't worry. Meihui's father is my right-hand man. With him around, it will be much easier for you to get familiar with him in the future."”
"Since you were able to single-handedly carve out a path in the Shanghai Bund, I believe that after you become familiar with the shipping business, you will also be able to quickly get started.”
"This matter has been decided. Don't delay it.”
At this point, Hong San saw Hang Xing's determined expression and could not refuse.
After thinking about it, he said,"In that case, let's do as Uncle says."”
"However, Uncle, let's make a deal first. I can help you deal with it, but this business is still yours. I'm only helping you deal with it. If you really don't want to trouble yourself, you can hand the business over to Mengzhu.”
Yu Hangxing felt gratified when he saw Hong San's firm refusal.
This also proved that he was not mistaken.
"Good! Then I'll leave it to Mengzhu. In the future, you and your wife will work together.”
At this point, Yu Hangxing suddenly raised his glass and said,"Come, let's drink to the upcoming happy event.”
............................
They had their fill.
As an elder, Yu Hangxing understood that it would make people feel uncomfortable to be here with his identity, so he returned to his room early.
Perhaps because Yu Mengzhu was happy, or perhaps because she really drank a little too much, she wanted to rest early.
After Hong San sent Yu Mengzhu back to her room, he was about to leave.
However, when he left the entrance of the Yu Residence.
Du Meihui, who had left long ago, came out from the side of the street.
Du Meihui, who was dressed in a white muslin dress, was blushing. Perhaps it was because she had just drunk.
She stood in front of Hong San and said with a smile,""Hong San, you really make me look at you in a new light. In just a few days, you've transformed into the Chief Inspector of the British Settlement.”
