"impossible!"

Jiang Hejun was the first to jump up.

His face was flustered, the documents in his hands fell onto the table, and he lost his balance.

Jiang Mingda forced himself to remain calm.

He pulled his wife aside and whispered, "How did you know? Don't let it be baseless. This is no joke. She and Xiang Qun haven't had their wedding yet. If something goes wrong, we'll offend the Zhou family too."

The Jiang family is in dire straits and cannot withstand any more turmoil.

We're going to lose this game.

The Jiang family is finished.

Seeing the displeasure on the faces of the father and son, Gu Meiyun assumed they were worried that Yueyue would get pregnant before marriage, which would not sound good to others, and she naturally understood.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

She has weathered many storms.

"I'm here to talk to you. I'll go see Xiang Qun this afternoon to discuss the wedding. It would be best to hold the wedding this month, so that Yueyue's pregnancy won't become uncontrollable, which would be troublesome," she said.

“But—” Jiang Hejun wanted to argue.

He fell silent again.

"Are you sure this child is Xiang Qun's?" Jiang Mingda asked in a low voice.

Gu Meiyun glared at him.

She said irritably, "Yueyue, whom we raised, is not a casual girl, unlike Xu Manzhi who is shameless and took the initiative to seek out Yan Lin before even getting married."

If the child isn't Zhou Xiangqun's, whose is it?

That's obvious.

Jiang Mingda chuckled dryly and said, "You're right. Then I'll go find Xiang Qun this afternoon and talk to him about the marriage. I'll tell him to set a date as soon as possible."

A while ago, Zhou Xiangqun came to see him, planning to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

With the Jiang family in such a mess, he had no interest in anything else.

But things are different now.

Yueyue's belly can't wait.

It must be said that Zhou Xiangqun was very proactive. Even when Jiang Mingda suggested that Jiang Pengyue's dowry was only 120,000, he still smiled and agreed.

Finally, Jiang Mingda suggested that the 28th of this month would be an auspicious day.

Zhou Xiangqun quickly replied, "Okay, then let's go with the 28th."

The events of the Guangshui production team are still vivid in my mind.

His dream changed.

He used to be able to see all the past events, but now it's pitch black, as if it's foreshadowing something, and he's in a complete panic.

For the past month, he had tried to find Xu Manzhi several times, but had not been able to find her.

She seemed to be avoiding him.

How could he not panic, how could he not be at a loss?

He accepted the offer even if the conditions were lowered.

As long as his wife isn't Jiang Xiaoyu.

Everything is fine.

When Jiang Mingda brought back the wedding date, Jiang Pengyue's face lit up with joy. Overjoyed, she cupped her cheeks and stomped her feet shyly, exclaiming, "He really agreed?"

"Yes, now we need to buy your dowry for your wedding and prepare two sets of wedding clothes," Jiang Mingda said.

Jiang Pengyue was taken aback.

She immediately understood.

“But lately, Xu Manzhi has been appearing and disappearing mysteriously; we can’t see her anywhere every day,” she said.

"Wait for her to come back tonight."

"Okay, thank you, Dad. You are the best dad in the world. I am so lucky to have you."

"Silly girl, if I don't love you, who will I love?"

Jiang Mingda went to the Gu family.

The secret stash is gone.

However, since they were all in the same circle, marriage ties almost determined the future of a family. The Jiang family's association with the Zhou family in Beijing made them famous throughout the elite circles of Haicheng.

Gu Jia is definitely willing to invest.

A dowry of 120,000 yuan is a good deal to provide the Gu family with security.

Xu Manzhi has been quite busy lately.

Seeing that there were too many cicadas in the trees, making a terrible racket, she picked up a net and caught them all over the city, delivering them bag after bag to Fu Gui'er, whom Ling Junye had given her.

Fu Gui'er was extremely surprised.

He collects chickens, ducks, and pigs. Insects are only eaten in the north. Southerners would never eat such things. When you lift the lid of the plate, there are dark, black insects lying in it, which terrifies people.

But Xu Manzhi said, "Insects are edible. They can be roasted or fried. They just don't look very appealing, but the protein content is the same."

Cicadas are good things.

If this were in a post-apocalyptic world, it would be looted by the survivors.

The maggots she ate all grew from the rotten wasteland of the apocalypse; they were bigger, fatter, and uglier than the maggots in the dry toilets here.

They were all scrambling to eat it.

Fu Gui'er wanted to cry.

But out of respect for Ling Junye, he planned to create a special channel to send all the cicadas to the dining table of the educated youth from the north...

Xu Manzhi caught a cicada and was just about to continue expanding his territory when the Ling family arrived.

Ling's mother bumped into her at a state-run restaurant on the street. At that moment, Xu Manzhi was squatting in the open space outside, eating a meat bun.

The little girl is very pretty.

Dressed in coarse cloth clothes and black trousers, she squatted there unkemptly, munching on a steamed bun with relish, completely unlike Jiang Pengyue, the aloof adopted daughter of the Jiang family.

The thought of Xu Manzhi being engaged to Yan Lin made her very anxious.

My feelings are very complicated.

"Girl, how's it going with Yan Lin?" Ling's mother asked.

Xu Manzhi patted her bottom.

She chuckled and said, "We were planning to get our marriage certificate last time, but Yan Lin gave us an urgent mission."

Yan Lin was overly worried that he would frighten her.

She wasn't going to give him a chance to escape, so she gave him an ultimatum.

As a result, that morning, a soldier went to the registration office to deliver a message to her, saying that Yan Lin had received a temporary mission to go out for a month.

She hasn't even gotten her marriage certificate yet.

When Ling's mother saw the smile on her face when she mentioned Yan Lin, she probably understood what the girl was thinking and couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her.

She introduced several girls to Yan Lin.

Before each blind date, she made no attempt to hide anything. In addition to introducing her family background, she also specifically pointed out that Yan Lin's appearance was not good... but she never had a successful one.
