During dinner, Gu Wanqing brought up the engagement: "Jinxuan, when will your family come over? Do you need us to help with the accommodation arrangements?"
He Jinxuan politely declined: "Thank you, Auntie, but my family can manage to squeeze in at our place, so we won't trouble you."
The City Transport Company Family Courtyard was one of the first areas to undergo heating renovation. He Jinxuan had already reached out to borrow a bed and informed the guesthouse in advance. At the time, they would rent a few sets of bedding; anyway, there aren't many guests staying at the guesthouse during the New Year, so they might only need to borrow for two nights.
Initially, He Jinxuan had wanted to let them stay at the guesthouse, but Wang Baoliang mentioned that everyone in the family courtyard does it this way. To go with the flow, He Jinxuan followed suit.
It was then that Xinyan asked: "Dad, didn't you accompany Mom to the Jiao Family? How come you didn't stay for a meal there?"
