NOVPUBChapter 749: Chapter 749: Making Friends_1 Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Making Friends_1 As the atmosphere grew warmer, the younger generation of the Zhang Family also became more lively.
Everyone was talking and laughing jovially.
At this moment, a chubby little boy about five or six years old noticed Tongtong and was instantly amazed as if he had seen a heavenly immortal; he thought the little girl was just too adorable.
How could there be someone so cute in the world?
He immediately felt the impulse to approach her.
However, he was too shy and hesitated for a while.
At that moment, he unintentionally touched a piece of chocolate in his pocket and got an idea.
...
So he immediately jumped off the chair and ran towards Xu Fan.
The little boy glanced timidly at Xu Fan once, then turned his gaze towards Tongtong, who was sitting in Xu Fan’s arms.
A smile instantly spread across his face, and he took out his favorite chocolate from his pocket and offered it to Tongtong, saying, “Little sister, you are so cute.
I will give you chocolate to eat.”
Tongtong looked at the chocolate, which she really liked, and felt tempted, but she turned her head to look at Xu Fan.
After all, her dad had told her not to eat things from strangers.
And since she did not know this little brother, he was naturally a stranger.
“It’s fine, go ahead and eat if you want,” Xu Fan said with a smile and nodded his head.
Only then did Tongtong take the chocolate from the little boy’s hand and thanked him politely, “Thank you, little brother.”
“No need to thank me,” the little boy waved his hand and then looked at Tongtong expectantly, asking, “Little sister, my name is Zhang Nan, can we be friends?”
“Sure,” Tongtong happily agreed.
She loved making friends with others, and to her, anyone who shared delicious and fun things with her was a very nice person. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Tongtong said, “My name is Tongtong.
You can call me Tongtong; that’s what everyone calls me.”
“Tongtong, your name is also so cute.
Alright then, we are friends from now on.” The little boy seemed very happy, grinned with a gap in his front teeth due to being at the age of losing baby teeth, and his speech was slightly whistling.
“I am already six years old.
How old are you, Tongtong?”
“I am already four years old,” Tongtong counted on her fingers and then answered.
The two children chatted back and forth, quickly getting to know each other.
A while later, Tongtong looked up at Xu Fan and said, “Dad, I want to go play with brother Zhang Nan, is that okay?”
Xu Fan had already fed Tongtong a small bowl of rice, and by this time, she had eaten her fill.
“You can play, but you must not run too far, just play inside the restaurant,” Xu Fan instructed as he let Tongtong down.
“Don’t worry, dad.
I definitely won’t run outside,” Tongtong promised obediently.
Xu Fan then turned his gaze to the little boy, patted his head, and said, “You are a little man, you must take care of the girl, understand?”
The little boy patted his chest and said loudly, “Please rest assured, uncle.
I will take good care of sister Tongtong and won’t let her get hurt.”
“Really a little rascal…” Xu Fan shook his head with a laugh and watched the two kids skipping and jumping away to play at one side.
Before long, more children joined Tongtong and Zhang Nan, and they all played together, filling the air with laughter and joy.
Children make friends easily; as long as they play games together, they can become good friends.
But the oldest among them was only six or seven years old, and their ability to express themselves was far from mature.
Every now and then, they would say a silly thing or two that made the adults around them burst into laughter.
The relationship between Xu Fan’s family and the Zhang family had already thawed from previous conflicts, but to say that their relationship had warmed significantly was yet too soon to claim.
However, the playful interactions between Tongtong and the younger generation of the Zhang family successfully enhanced the cordiality between the two families.
Unintentionally, Tongtong seemed to have taken on the role of a friendly ambassador.
Such changes were welcomed, whether it was for Mother Xu or for people like Zhang Jianyun.
Good spirits follow good fortune, and Zhang Jianyun was glowing with vitality.
He kept asking Mother Xu for updates, inquiring about how she, Xu Fan, and Xu Yue had been getting on in the past years and whether they were faring well.
People around them were also listening.
When they learned about the happenings in the Xu family, expressions of delight appeared on the faces of the Zhang family members.
Who would have thought that now Xu Fan was at the helm of the Xu family?
Didn’t this mean that their Zhang family could once again receive support from the Xu family?
If they had the Xu family’s support, the return of their former glory was just around the corner for the Zhang family.
At the very least, they hoped the Xu family would cease supporting the Song family.
Without the Song family’s suppression, life for the Zhang family would be much easier than before.
Zhang Mingpeng raised his glass and said happily, “Big sister, I’ve always believed you were wronged.
Now that the truth has come to light, this is truly joyous news!”
“Actually, we owe it all to Xiao Fan,” Mother Xu said with a smile, then picked up her glass, clinked it with Zhang Mingpeng’s, and downed it in one go.
Zhang Qinglan and Zhang Qinghui, standing nearby, were filled with regret.
They were the ones who had taken the actions all those years ago, supporting the decision to sever ties with Mother Xu.
Just recently, they still treated Mother Xu with such a vile attitude.
If they had known this day would come, why did they ever act that way in the past?
However, Mother Xu was not the kind of person to hold grudges.
She did not make it difficult for her two sisters, allowing them to save face.
Seeing the atmosphere was so lively, Mother Xu stood up and announced Xu Fan’s wedding date with Xu Yixue to everyone, inviting them to attend the ceremony in Shenzhen City if they were available.
Faced with Mother Xu’s invitation, the members of the Zhang family certainly wouldn’t refuse.
In fact, they would have tried to attend even if Mother Xu hadn’t invited them.
Everyone promptly agreed wholeheartedly, promising to attend, and then everyone offered their blessings to the couple, Xu Fan and Xu Yixue.
“Thank you for your kind words!”
Xu Fan and Xu Yixue politely thanked everyone, neither arrogant nor rash, which made the Zhang family members think even more highly of them.
Especially Xu Yixue.
Not only was she beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, but she also came from an impressive background, knowledgeable and polite, virtuous and gentle.
Honestly, such a wife was simply the most perfect existence one could hope for in life.
In this world, probably only a favored son of heaven like Xu Fan was worthy of such admiration from everyone.
The family was having a lively meal together.
But just as lunch was nearly finished and everybody was preparing to leave, Zhang Minghui’s phone suddenly rang.
Zhang Minghui answered the call and after listening for a few moments, his expression turned extremely ugly.
Those around him cast puzzled looks, wondering what had happened.
Bang!
After hanging up the call, Zhang Minghui slammed his phone onto the table so hard that it almost smashed, and he was shaking all over with rage.
