【Sweet Romance】
It was known nationwide that Young Master Yan spent 200 million to marry a stunningly beautiful wife. However, only heaven, earth, he, and she knew about the humiliation t...
Finally, after much persuasion, Chen Jing nodded and agreed to hold a wedding with Luo Yifan.
As for the specific date of the wedding, Chen Jing's idea was to first go back to the Luo family home with Luo Yifan to pay respects to his parents before discussing it further.
Luo Yifan's parents are in their eighties and in relatively good health, so Chen Jing's decision is understandable.
So, after a lively dinner, everyone unanimously decided that Luo Yifan would take Chen Jing home to meet his parents on Saturday, and as for Zhu Qianying, Zhu Qianyu, and Zizai, as the younger generation, they also decided to visit them together.
As sons-in-law, Yan Shao and Ji Huan naturally followed suit and visited together.
After dinner, the Ji family went back to the Yan family's house to stay. The three little ones, Zizai, Beibei, and Guoguo, simply set up three tents in Zizai's playroom. When they got tired of playing inside, they would crawl into their tents to sleep.
Several men gathered in the bar on the first floor to drink, and Yan Shao, as the host, poured drinks for everyone.
Ji Huan took the wine that Yan Shao handed him, took a sip, and asked, "Brother Yan, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yan Shao was focused on opening the red wine with his eyes down, but now he looked up at him.
"Not for now. That guy is very tight-lipped and insists that he did everything. However, he doesn't know Ying'er or Zizai at all, and he has no connection with me either. He doesn't even have the most basic motive. The police don't know where to start. But Kai has followed the clues and found a lot of leads. If nothing unexpected happens, the mastermind will be exposed soon."
In fact, most of the people present knew who the mastermind was. However, in this era where everything is based on evidence, and since everyone here is a law-abiding citizen, we must act in accordance with the law.
Ji Huan nodded, and after a while, asked again, "Brother Yan, that old bastard Zhu Zhizhou has been spreading rumors about Mom's past misdeeds. Are you aware of this?"
Yan Shao was slightly taken aback. "Is that so?"
"He's probably dissatisfied and wants to ruin Uncle Luo's relationship with Mom. In the past few days, there have been many rumors in R City that are slandering Mom. Fortunately, Xiaoyu has been staying home most of the time, otherwise, she might have been so angry that she would have vomited blood."
This was the first time Yan Shao had heard of this matter.
I suppose it's because I've been too focused on Vic Zhou lately.
"Okay, leave this to me!"
The following day at noon, news broke that Zhu Zhizhou and his wife Zhu Shaofen encountered a road collapse shortly after leaving their home. The driver reacted quickly, opened the car door, and jumped out, sustaining only minor injuries.
Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen were not so lucky; both of them had their heads broken, one lost a hand, and the other lost a leg.
When Yan Shao received the news, his entire family had just arrived in R City by plane and were about to get into the Ji family's car to go to the Luo family's place.
When Yan Shao told him the news, Ji Huan was the first to say, "Serves him right!"
The sisters, Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu, exchanged a thoughtful glance, but neither of them spoke.
Luo Yifan's expression changed slightly. He reached out and took Chen Jing's hand, gently patting the back of her hand to comfort her.
Chen Jing smiled at him, "I'm fine, he's just an irrelevant person."
Upon receiving Chen Jing's reply, Luo Yifan smiled with relief.
The Luo family elders were very welcoming to Chen Jing's family, and Chen Jing, in addition to preparing gifts for the entire Luo family, also brought a lot of homemade pastries and cakes.
The Luo family, young and old, praised the pastries and cakes highly, and naturally, they felt even more favorably toward their new daughter-in-law.
“Ah Jing, come back and visit us more often when you have time. Yi Fan has been coming home less and less since he opened more and more restaurants. Even Xiao Xian and his brother haven’t been coming back as often lately.”
As people get older, they don't ask for anything else, except to see their children and grandchildren a few more times, even if it's just to have a meal together and chat about something trivial. That would make them content.
"Dad, Mom, we'll try to spend more time coming back to visit you in the future!"
For the past ten or twenty years, Chen Jing has felt guilty towards her parents. Now, she fully understands the feelings of the two elders of the Luo family and has made a corresponding promise.
The two elders were very happy to receive Chen Jing's assurances, and became even more enthusiastic towards Chen Jing, the Zhu Qianying sisters, and their son.
Seeing their mother getting along well with the Luo family elders, Zhu Qianying and Zhu Qianyu were genuinely happy for their mother.
After the two families chatted for a while and got to know each other better, the two elders took out the almanac and everyone set the wedding date together. As for the wedding location, since they held different opinions and could not reach an agreement, they had to put it aside for the time being and discuss it later.
That evening, Zhu Qianying and her family stayed at the Luo family's house. Zhu Qianyu, due to her physical condition, ate dinner and sat with everyone for a while before bidding farewell to Ji Huan and returning to the Ji family's house.
Zhu Qianying and the others stayed at the Luo family's house for one night. The next day at noon, after lunch, they said goodbye to the two elders.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Zizai has to go to school tomorrow, so we have to go now."
Since Zhu Qianying called Luo Yifan "Dad," she naturally addressed the two elders of the Luo family as "Grandpa and Grandma."
The two elders adored Zizai. Before he left, they gave him a uniquely shaped jade lock, which, it's said, the Luo brothers also had one. It seems they treated Zizai like their own great-grandson.
"Thank you, great-grandfather. Thank you, great-grandmother."
In just a few months, Zizai has transformed from a child who was only loved by his mother and grandmother into a child who is now loved by many elders.
Fortunately, although the little guy is mischievous, he knows when to stop. It would be fair to say that he is well-behaved and sensible. He has never become arrogant or spoiled because of the love and pampering he receives from these remarkable elders.
Chen Jing stayed behind with Luo Yifan. Firstly, to spend a few more days with the Luo family elders, and secondly, because Luo Yifan needed to stay and handle some matters in R City.
Zhu Qianying and her family returned to the Yan family home in the evening.
As soon as Zizai got out of the car, he rushed to the backyard to play with the stars. Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying stepped into the house together. Uncle Hai came over to greet them, took their luggage, and reported their arrival.
"Young Master, people from the Zhu family came by today."
Yan Shao glanced at Zhu Qianying and asked, "Who?"
"The Fourth Young Master of the Zhu Family!"
Zhu Qianying was a little surprised, "Zhu Haoming?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao exchanged a deep look, both with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
"Okay, I understand!"
Seeing that it wasn't mealtime yet, the two greeted Yan Bo and his wife, and then went into the study together in a rather tacit manner.
"Will you call? Or should I?" Young Master Yan took out his phone and asked Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying thought for a moment, "Go ahead and call. I reckon he's looking for you, not me."
Zhu Qianying knew more about Zhu Haoming than Zhu Junwei.
