Chapter 84 Fiancée
The rebuilt Meijiang Wharf is larger in area and has a more modern design and more rational planning than before.
During its construction, the design drew on the experience of building modern docks in major cities, taking into account the size of the ships to be moored, making it more convenient for ships to dock.
The Meijiang Wharf has been completely renovated and looks very different from before.
At this time, many ships were already moored at the dock.
Most of them were ordinary cargo ships, with porters carrying goods on board.
However, there are also passenger ships docked, though in relatively smaller numbers.
At this moment, a white passenger ship was moored at the Meijiang Wharf. Its iron construction and novel design made it completely different from ordinary passenger ships, and it was clear at a glance that it was not ordinary.
They are not on the same level in terms of appearance or cleanliness.
Several people dressed in exquisite clothes were the first to disembark from the white passenger ship.
Those who were walking noticed this and voluntarily stepped aside so as not to block the way.
Working at the docks requires keen observation skills.
The most important thing is not to block the way of important people, otherwise you will suffer the consequences. This is more important than not doing your job well.
If you don't do your job well, you'll only have your wages docked. If you block the way for important people, you'll at best get a beating and lose your job, and at worst lose your life.
"Big brother, third sister."
Yang Jian saw the people disembarking from the boat and warmly greeted them.
Among these people, the one walking at the front, wearing a white suit and glasses, who looked seven-tenths like Yang Jian, was his elder brother, Yang Shengxiao.
He is also the eldest son of the Yang family, and he looks increasingly mature, bearing some of the aura of his adoptive father, Yang Changhong.
I've been studying abroad for many years and spend most of my time away from home.
However, judging by the timeline, Yang Shengxiao should graduate this year and will likely stay in China to work afterward.
"Not bad, Erlang, you've gotten quite a bit stronger."
"I was very worried when I received a letter from home saying you had fallen into the water, but seeing you like this now puts my mind at ease!"
Yang Shengxiao walked to Yang Jian's side, looked at the tall and strong Yang Jian, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
The two are brothers born of the same mother and have a very good relationship.
Previously, when Yang Changhong was arranging for Yang Jian to study abroad, Yang Shengxiao tried to persuade him with all his heart after learning that Yang Jian was not going. Unfortunately, he still failed to persuade Yang Jian, who was only interested in lying down, eating, drinking and having fun, and being a playboy.
Yang Jian said something at the time, which Yang Shengxiao remembers very clearly.
Leave the family affairs to my eldest brother, let him be a freeloader and enjoy his life.
"Second brother, can't you see your beautiful little sister? Aren't you going to help your beautiful little sister with her luggage?"
"It's been so long since we last met, and my second brother has completely forgotten about me. He hasn't even written a single letter. It really makes me very sad."
A playful voice rang out from behind Yang Shengxiao.
She was dressed in a pale yellow princess dress, and her pretty face showed great dissatisfaction; she looked angry!
As she spoke, she seemed about to cry, but not a single tear fell.
This person was none other than his third sister, Yang Shengchan.
The three siblings, born to the same mother, have an even closer relationship.
"How could I possibly forget my lovely third sister?"
"They made me take the blame before they left, and I still remember it to this day!"
Upon seeing Yang Shengchan, Yang Jian looked like he had a toothache.
Unlike his steady older brother, his third sister was very mischievous and a troublemaker from a young age.
She was loved by her elders from a young age, but she was also a little devil.
They did something wrong and then framed Yang Jian, which really put Yang Jian in a terrible position.
Later, Yang Shengchan went abroad to study with her elder brother Yang Shengxiao, which made Yang Jian the happiest.
After all, there was one less little devil in the family to cause him trouble.
Yang Jian gestured to the people beside him, and these people, being very perceptive, went over to help carry the luggage.
"Big brother, look, second brother's holding a grudge again!"
Yang Shengchan directly complained to his face.
It's frustrating.
"Erlang, this is Zhou Yun from the Zhou family, and she is also your future sister-in-law."
"You're coming to stay at my Yang family's house for two days."
Yang Shengxiao then introduced a woman wearing a white cheongsam.
She was elegant and beautiful, and was Yang Shengxiao's fiancée.
When arranging their studies abroad, both families specifically arranged for them to get to know each other beforehand, which would facilitate their marriage later.
Marriage is still largely arranged by parents and matchmakers, but people can still manage to get to know each other better.
This is especially true for large families.
A harmonious relationship between husband and wife is more conducive to marriage.
Judging from their appearance, Yang Jian could tell they got along well, and it was possible that they were preparing for their wedding upon their return!
"Yang Jian greets his sister-in-law."
Yang Jian addressed her directly as "elder sister-in-law".
Zhou Yun fits Yang Jian's image of a well-bred young lady perfectly; she seems much more reliable than his third sister!
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Yun will become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family, assisting Yang Shengxiao in managing the inner quarters.
As for his true personality, we'll see clearly after spending more time with him in the Yang family mansion.
"Erlang, I've heard Shengxiao mention you many times, saying that you're very serious about your work."
Zhou Yun smiled and nodded, without refuting.
When talking about Yang Jian, I simply offer a word of praise.
Actually, there was one more thing she didn't say, which was that she seriously studied and came up with all sorts of ways to have fun.
Watching Yang Jian act now, he seemed more reliable than Yang Shengchan had described.
"I don't need to introduce the person behind him, right?"
Yang Shengxiao glanced at the woman behind him and said with a smile.
Also accompanying them on this trip was Li Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the Li Family Chamber of Commerce.
A suit with a bow tie collar, a white shirt underneath, paired with gray high-waisted trousers and Oxford shoes, exudes the style of a pioneering woman who has studied abroad.
In his hand, he was also holding a newspaper covered in foreign languages.
"Miss Li, it's been a long time."
Yang Jian took the initiative to step forward and greet him.
This was a marriage arranged for him by his adoptive father, and also his fiancée, Li Mingzhu, the eldest daughter of the Li family business association.
The two had met a few times, but their relationship was just so-so.
Li Mingzhu didn't want to marry him, and Yang Jian had no intention of being a simp, after all, there were so many good girls in the city.
Yang Jian, who wanted to be a spoiled brat, would never stoop to flattery.
The second young master of the Yang family could have any woman he wanted, with beauties lining up to offer themselves to him; he could have any kind he desired.
Shen Nianxin is actually just one of them.
After Yang Jian transmigrated, Shen Nianxin took care of him and they got along very well. She gained Yang Jian's approval and stayed at his residence.
As for his other lovers, such as Xiao Taohong, the most beautiful courtesan at Jin Chun Restaurant, Yang Jian had long forgotten them!
He wasn't the original incarnation, so he had no intention of inheriting all the messy romantic entanglements and tangled emotional debts of his predecessor.
"have not seen you for a long time."
Li Mingzhu looked at Yang Jian and said calmly.
Yang Jian never left a very good impression on her.
Ignorant, spoiled brat, and useless are all synonyms for this term.
The man Li Mingzhu is going to marry must be a highly learned and capable person, a powerful figure in his own right, not some petty playboy.
After studying abroad this time, Li Mingzhu saw more of the world, which made her even more determined to believe this.
Li Mingzhu looked at Yang Jian, pondering how to annul the engagement.
