Park Cheon did not seem to feel anything and smiled politely. "Why did you two suddenly come to visit? Why didn't you inform us beforehand so that we could host a banquet for you?"
"There's no need for that, Mr. Park. Yang Cheng and I are here to watch the Sarira Opening Ceremony. We haven't seen Zhenxiu for a long time so we decided to come along," Jane answered.
"I see. Why isn't President Lin here this time?" Park Cheon glanced around. Behind him, Zhenxiu was also puzzled.
Yang Cheng did not want Zhenxiu to worry so he casually said, "She's busy so she can't come."
Park Cheon showed a regretful expression. "Since you're here, please stay for dinner. Although there aren't any fancy delicacies, we do have some home-cooked dishes."
Yang Cheng's mind was muddled and he did not think much about it. He agreed but he could not tear his eyes away from Zhenxiu.
Jane could tell that Zhenxiu's attitude was very different from before. She quietly tugged at Yang Cheng's hand and motioned him to calm down. It was not good for him to be in such a daze.
After everyone sat down in the dining room, Park Cheon, Yang Cheng, and Jane chatted about health issues. Jane answered most of the questions while Yang Cheng was not in the mood to entertain Park Cheon's questions.
Zhenxiu sat obediently beside her grandfather without saying a word or looking at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng was not used to this cold unfamiliarity. It was not that he needed a warm welcome but Yang Cheng felt that Zhenxiu was not as happy as she used to be.
When dinner was about to start, a familiar father and son pair appeared outside the door. It was Kim Jip and his father, Lawyer Kim.
"Oh, what an unexpected guest. I didn't expect Mr. Yang and Doctor Jane to be here too." Lawyer Kim smiled kindly and greeted Yang Cheng and Jane.
Although the Kim family was also a famous family in Seoul, they were, after all, just a legal family. Lawyer Kim was also very modest.
Kim Jip's expression was as cold as ever, but he still greeted Yang Cheng and Jane respectfully.
Both father and son sat down. It was obvious that they had planned to eat together.
"Both of you, I'm old and muddle-headed. I forgot to mention an important joyous event." Park Cheon pointed at Kim Jip and Zhenxiu. "Both of you came at the right time. The day after tomorrow will be the day after the Buddha Heart Relic Opening Ceremony. The Park family and the Kim family will hold a formal wedding ceremony for Zhenxiu and Kim Jip at Seoul's Jogye Temple. We will use the blessing of the Buddha Heart Relic Opening Ceremony to complete this sacred ceremony."
"What!?" Yang Cheng wondered if he had heard wrongly, but when he saw Park Cheon's joyful expression and Lawyer Kim's nodding smile, he knew that they were indeed getting married.
Yang Cheng was no stranger to Caoxi Temple. His brain had recorded all the important buildings and their origins in the world's major cities.
This was the main temple of the Jogye Sect of Korean Buddhism. It was the leader of the entire Zen Sect in Korea and was extremely sacred.
It was not unusual for the Buddha Heart Relic Opening Ceremony to be held at Caoxi Temple. What made people wonder was how Park Cheon managed to arrange for Zhenxiu and Kim Jip's wedding to be held at Caoxi Temple!
However, money makes the world go round. As one of the most influential families in Korea and one of the top ten richest families in Asia, Park Cheon's relationship with the government was definitely not simple.
After all, weddings were a good thing. Many big families would invite eminent monks to perform rituals to protect the newlyweds. With that in mind, it was not surprising that the Park family was able to pull off such a feat.
Yang Cheng frowned and asked Zhenxiu, "Zhenxiu, why didn't you contact us when you were getting married? If we didn't come, wouldn't we have missed your wedding? "
In fact, Yang Cheng was wondering why they were getting married so suddenly. Didn't Zhenxiu object to this marriage?
"Mr. Yang and General Lin are both in Zhonghai and have a lot of things to do. I didn't want to disturb them. After all, marriage is a matter between the two of us. It's not appropriate to disturb too many people," Zhenxiu replied calmly.
"Disturb …" Yang Cheng mocked himself, "Why do you sound like you're treating me like an outsider?"
Zhenxiu's eyes suddenly flashed with anger. "To Mr. Yang, of course, Zhenxiu is just an outsider. I'm not related to you, am I not?"
His mocking tone made Yang Chen's scalp go numb and his heart turn cold.
"Zhenxiu! Don't talk nonsense! "
Park Cheon scolded her sternly before turning to apologize to Yang Cheng with a smile. "Mr. Yang, this child is getting more and more impudent. I'm worried too. She's about to get married but she's still spouting nonsense."
Lawyer Kim waved his hand. "Mr. Yang is a magnanimous man. I'm sure he won't mind. President, please don't blame Zhenxiu. She's much more sensible than my son. Kim Jip came with me to take care of the wedding details. He doesn't know anything and he's always putting on a sour face. It's really giving me a headache. "
The two of them were already in-laws. On the other hand, Kim Jip and Zhenxiu, the newlyweds who were engaged and about to get married, hadn't even glanced at each other since they walked in.
Park Cheon smiled. "Mr. Yang, Doctor Jane, please don't leave Seoul the day after tomorrow. Come with us and attend the wedding at Cao Xi Temple. The Buddha Heart Sarira will be enshrined in Cao Xi Temple in the future, but not everyone will be able to see it. If you're interested, you can take a look tomorrow or the day after."
Yang Cheng was a little numb at the moment. He couldn't tell if it was because of Zhenxiu's wedding or Zhenxiu's current state. In short, he was in a terrible mood.
Jane, on the other hand, was clear-headed. She agreed on behalf of Yang Cheng and gave her blessings. "Then let's bask in the glory of the two newlyweds and wish Zhenxiu and Kim Jip a happy marriage for a hundred years."
"Haha, thank you, Doctor Jane. If Zhenxiu were to give birth in the future, she might need Doctor Jane's help." Park Cheon joked.
"It's hard to hire me. I won't do it without tens of millions of dollars." Jane teased.
Dinner had yet to begin but the atmosphere was joyous.
Kim Jip, who had been silent all this while, took a sip of the tea on the table. He furrowed his brows and glared at Eunjung who was standing nearby.
"What's wrong with this tea? It's so hot!"
With that, Kim Jip splashed the tea at Eunjung's position!
Eunjung stood there, too afraid to dodge. Her dress was splashed with water and she could only apologize.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Kim Jip. I'll change it for you now." Eunjung immediately ordered someone to clean up and refill the tea.
Although Kim Jip had always been Park Cheon's bodyguard, in the eyes of the maids, he was more highly regarded by Park Cheon than the young masters of the Park family.
Even if Eunjung was the most valued one among the maids, her status was still far below Kim Jip's.
"Kim Jip, why are you being so unruly? It's just a little hot tea. How many times have I told you to be more gentle?" Lawyer Kim said unhappily.
Kim Jip silently nodded at his father as an apology. However, his expression was not pleasant and he continued to glare at Eunjung with dissatisfaction.
Park Cheon, on the other hand, chimed in, "No wonder Kim Jip. The new maids are always making mistakes. Although they weren't loyal enough in the past, they are much more reliable than the current ones.
It's a good thing that Kim Jip has a temper. How can a man achieve great things without a temper? I was hoping that he would be able to protect Zhenxiu in the future. "
It was just a small interlude but it attracted Yang Cheng's attention.
In Yang Chen's mind, he suddenly recalled the scene he saw at the Park clan last year. Squinting his eyes, he fell into deep thought.
During dinner, Lawyer Kim and Park Cheon discussed the final details of the wedding preparations. Kim Jip had been busy with the wedding with Lawyer Kim for the past few days, which was why he was not with Park Cheon.
After dinner, Zhenxiu wiped the corner of her mouth and stood up gracefully. She said to Park Cheon, "Grandfather, I'm going upstairs. I'm a little tired today."
"Oh, you're going up so soon?" Park Cheon waved his hand. "Alright, rest early. Don't read until late like the past few days. You have to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow and be the bride the day after. Don't tire yourself out."
Zhenxiu nodded meekly. Without looking at anyone else, she decided to go upstairs.
Yang Cheng stood up and said, "Wait, Zhenxiu, it's been a while. Let's have a chat."
Zhenxiu paused and said without turning her head, "Mr. Yang, if there's anything you want to say, please say it now."
"Some words are better spoken in private. Why? It's only been half a year and you're not even willing to talk to your Big Brother Yang. You can't put on such airs!" Yang Cheng joked.
Zhenxiu turned her back to him and bit her lip. Her eyes were filled with conflicting emotions as she said, "Mr. Yang, my fiancé is here. It's not appropriate."
