Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...
Mu Zhiyuan walked behind her and put his arm around her shoulders.
Xu Chu leaned back in his arms.
It feels good to have someone to rely on.
"Now that you know Susu's abilities, she likes Lan Zheng. Since the two of them are in love and the girl is interested, don't overthink it and just help them be together."
Xu Chu leaned in his arms for a long time before saying, "If she's willing, what else can I say? Lan Zheng made her own choice. As long as she doesn't regret it, that's fine."
Mu Zhiyuan said gently, "Susu is not a three-year-old child, nor is she an impulsive person. If we didn't know she was the masked girl, we would have been worried. Now that we know she has such abilities, she and Lan Zheng have long been friends for life. No one will regret being together."
"I'll go back in a couple of days to arrange her dowry. Old Madam Lan wants Lan Zheng and his sister to get married on the same day. Although it's a bit rushed, it's enough time to prepare. I've already prepared Susu's dowry."
Susu didn't want the shares of Xu Group, so she prepared more visible things for her sister.
We can’t let the Lan family look down on Susu.
"good."
Mu Zhiyuan responded, "I'll go with you."
It is still their honeymoon holiday, so they don’t have to go back to the company and can just concentrate on preparing Susu’s dowry.
Lan Zheng was generous and even invited entertainment reporters to broadcast his proposal to Su Su live, which caused a sensation in City A that night.
The old lady was very satisfied and said to her son, "Lan Zheng has great potential in acting."
The affectionate look on his face when he proposed almost made her believe it.
If the old lady hadn't known that Lan Zheng was forced to marry Su Su by her own death, she would have really believed that Lan Zheng was deeply in love with Su Su.
Since Lan Zheng proposed, Xu Susu also agreed to marry him.
The next day, Lan Rui and his wife called their son, daughter, and son-in-law, and followed the old lady and her husband, prepared generous gifts, and went to the Xu family to discuss wedding arrangements.
The date for delivering the betrothal gifts was set, and the wedding would be held on the same day as Mu Qing's.
The brother and sister are twins, born on the same day and married on the same day.
Xu Chu didn't say anything more. The Lan family came to discuss wedding matters, and she cooperated very well.
Afterwards, the old lady and her husband, as well as Lan Rui and his wife, returned to Wangcheng first to prepare the betrothal gifts for Lan Zheng.
Lan Zheng told the old lady that if he wanted to marry Xu Susu, she should prepare the betrothal money for him.
Although it had the meaning of forced revenge, Lan Zheng was their eldest grandson after all. The first grandson was going to get married, and it was the old lady who made the effort to promote it. The old lady generously agreed to prepare a betrothal gift for Lan Zheng.
Two days later.
The elders of the Lan family mobilized all the private jets of their Lan family to airlift the betrothal gifts they had prepared for Lan Zheng. They also mobilized all the usable cars in Fengchen Villa, the in-laws' family, to move the betrothal gifts from the planes and filled the cars to the brim.
Then he went to Xu's house in a grand and ostentatious manner to deliver the betrothal gift.
This time, Lan Zheng also went to Xu's house with his family.
He also checked the betrothal gifts prepared by the old lady and made sure there were no fakes before he felt relieved. However, this made the old lady very angry.
How could she, the old lady of the Lan family, use fake goods?
This unfilial grandson made her spend so much money to buy him a betrothal gift. She even took out some of her treasures from the storehouse to buy him such a large betrothal gift. However, the unfilial grandson was still afraid that she would use fake goods to pass him off as good ones.
It's simply that good intentions don't bring good rewards.
Mu Qing privately told her mother, "My grandmother spent a lot of money this time just to save face."
After curling his lips, Shen Yimo said, "Your grandfather also spent a lot of money. He only took out a few sets of the old woman's precious jewelry to show off. He was reluctant to take out the rest. But even so, it was a huge loss. Her jewelry is all real antiques and very valuable."
"Who told her to have a bad attitude? It's not our fault, but she's trying to put the blame on us and retaliate against your brother."
Shen Yimo looked at her daughter's slightly bulging belly tenderly. Mu Qing was pregnant with twins and was younger than Yang Xi, but her belly looked a little bigger than Yang Xi's. Fortunately, it was cold in winter, so even if she wore a wedding dress, she would put on a thick coat to cover Mu Qing's slightly bulging belly.
"It's a good thing you got married early, otherwise you don't know what kind of man the old woman would arrange for you."
"She's going to arrange my marriage? Besides, my parents are here, and they won't let her arrange my marriage."
My brother and Susu knew that a long time ago, and only after they deliberately played the old lady's trick did they "obey" the old lady's arrangements.
If the woman was not Xu Susu, Lan Zheng would never agree even if the old lady died a hundred times.
"Qingqing, your parents have also prepared a generous dowry for you. The Jun family will send the betrothal gifts the day after tomorrow. Your parents will let your brother marry Susu in a grand ceremony, and we will also marry you off in a grand ceremony."
Mu Qing was shy for a rare moment, "Mom, I'm not short of money right now, you don't have to prepare so much for me."
"You and your brother are the only two children that Mom and Dad have in this life. All the property under our names will be divided equally between you two siblings. We won't show partiality to either of you. Everything will be divided fairly. Dad will give you everything that is yours."
"Your in-laws are all very nice people, Junbo is a capable man, and the Jun family is also financially strong. Mom and Dad know that you are not short of money, but what your parents give you is our heartfelt gift as parents, so just accept it."
"The coffee shop business is now in the hands of the store manager. Your mother is also in charge of the Wangcheng Jewelry Store business. After you give birth to the baby, I will slowly take over the businesses your father gave you. I hope your wealth will grow."
Lan Rui had already revealed it to her.
After his children had their weddings, he divided the family property into two parts, giving them equal shares to his brother and sister.
Then, he would hand over the entire Lan family to Lan Zheng. He would retire and travel around the world with his wife. They would come back when they were old enough to have grandchildren.
The years that were missed when we were young must now be made up for.
"My dad is still so young, and he's going to hand over everything he has to me and my brother?"
"That will be given to you sooner or later. Wouldn't it be better if I give it to you sooner so you can get started? Your brother is also a capable person. He has a family and a career. Now that he has a family, he should make some achievements in his career."
"Your father and I wasted more than twenty years of our youth. Now that we can unload our burdens, let's go out for a walk and make up for the years we wasted."
Chen Yimo has been longing for the days when she doesn't have to worry about anything and can just travel around with her beloved man.
After hearing what her mother said, Mu Qing didn't know what to say.
My parents have indeed wasted more than twenty years of their lives.
How many twenty years are there in a lifetime?
