Chapter 219: Company...did something happen?

Early the next morning.

Shen Xichuan mentioned something about the wedding to Mrs. Shen at the dinner table.

Several people were stunned, especially Mrs. Shen.

"After the Chinese New Year?" Mrs. Shen came back to her senses. "After the Chinese New Year, the earliest time will be March. It's less than a month away, so time may be a bit tight."

She had already begun to wonder if she could even get the wedding done in March.

Shen Yankai's expression calmed down and he looked at Shen Xichuan, "Didn't I say before that we should wait until the weather is warmer before we talk about it? Actually, there's no need to be so anxious."

Hearing this, An Yuening glanced at her husband and then turned to Xu Jialan.

Her eyes seemed to be asking what had happened?

Xu Jialan shook his head slightly.

She herself didn't know what had happened.

To say that it was just because of a dream might be too far-fetched.

The head of the Shen family looked over, his expression slightly gloomy, "Xiaochuan, are you...?"

“No.” Shen Xichuan interrupted him decisively.

Xu Jialan looked at the two of them, confused and curious.

Because why?

What happened that she didn't know about?

"There's no reason. I just want to hold the wedding as soon as possible to avoid any complications later."

Shen Xichuan spoke calmly.

The four words "the longer the night, the more dreams you will have" made Xu Jialan's ears feel hot.

After listening to this, Mrs. Shen and others fell silent.

After breakfast, Shen Xichuan and the head of the Shen family went upstairs.

He should be going to the study again.

Mrs. Shen took Xu Jialan to the small house in the garden.

An Yuening is also here.

"Lanlan, tell me honestly, why is Xiaochuan so anxious to hold a wedding all of a sudden?"

Xu Jialan looked at the two of them and her face couldn't help but blush.

She pursed her lips, and still briefly told Mrs. Shen about the dream that Shen Xichuan had mentioned to her last night.

After hearing this, both of them found it incredible.

Mrs. Shen was confused. "You mean, Xiaochuan was afraid that you would run away because of a dream, so he wanted to quickly hold the wedding and announce it to the world?"

An Yuening blinked, "Lanlan, did you do something to make Shen Xichuan uneasy? Otherwise, how could he be so insecure? And he had to plan the wedding in such a hurry."

Xu Jialan blushed again: "..."

"How could I possibly do such a thing?"

She retorted quietly.

An Yuening shrugged her shoulders, “That’s not necessarily true, who knows, maybe you did it, but you don’t know it, and you don’t feel anything, but Shen Xichuan thinks so.”

Xu Jialan: “…?”

Is this possible?

She couldn't help but lower her head in thought.

Did she really do something to make him feel uneasy?

Mrs. Shen listened to what the two said and didn't think it was impossible.

"Ogawa may seem unruly, but he's always had his own ideas. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to toiled for several years and quickly earned credits just to join the fire department."

"So, what Ning Ning said is possible."

Xu Jialan’s head was buzzing.

She had begun to doubt herself.

Mrs. Shen has always been the type to make the best of things.

"Don't worry, leave the wedding to me. I will definitely make it beautiful for you and will never let you suffer any injustice."

Xu Jialan naturally believed it.

Mrs. Shen talked to her about some things related to the betrothal gifts.

She felt a headache after hearing this.

I've heard before how wealthy the Shen family is.

But when she really heard these specific numbers, she was completely stunned.

An Yuening has lived a relatively privileged life since childhood, so it's not surprising.

Compared to Xu Jialan, she is relatively calm.

Mrs. Shen was silent for a few seconds when she saw Xu Jialan's expression of not caring about the details of the betrothal gift.

She sighed silently, "I will discuss the details of the betrothal gift with your master and others."

Now Xu Jialan’s maternal family is Liang Lao and his family.

Xu Jialan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and nodded, "Okay."

Mrs. Shen also chatted with Anyuning.

An Yuening had no objection either.

Her parents are both abroad, so these details can only be discussed after they return home.

Mrs. Shen did not mention the betrothal gift anymore, and talked to the two about the wedding dress and wedding venue.

The three of them were chatting with great interest.

After Mrs. Shen remembered the preferences of the two people, she was about to leave to contact the previous wedding planning team.

Xu Jialan suddenly thought of something and called out to her, "Mom, I have something to ask you."

Mrs. Shen was slightly stunned, "What's the matter?"

"Did something happen to the company?"

Hearing this, An Yuening also looked over.

Mrs. Shen was stunned for half a second, then smiled, "Who told you that?"

Xu Jialan pursed her lips and told her what she saw yesterday and the two sentences Shen Xichuan mentioned to her casually.

An Yuening has no interest in managing the company.

But it’s not that I don’t understand everything.

The Shen family was originally one of the big families in South City.

A big tree attracts the wind, and it is inevitable that it will be targeted by restless people.

But the Shen family is not so easy to be bullied.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be afraid of him.

Mrs. Shen held the flower tea and drank it slowly before saying, “Xiaochuan didn’t lie to you. It was just a small matter.”

Xu Jialan frowned slightly.

But Mrs. Shen’s reaction…didn’t seem like a small matter.

Madam Shen seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled, "There are so many people who are jealous of the Shen family's current situation, and there are even more who want to get a piece of the pie."

"It's a pity that Yan Kai and Xiao Chuan are brothers and they are in harmony, and you are good friends with each other. After you marry in, there will naturally be no fighting and competition. Some people are anxious and start to worry that their status will be threatened."

At this point, Mrs. Shen narrowed her eyes slightly, “As for what you saw that day, it was just a play I performed.”

Some people want to get information, so they naturally have to stretch their hands long.

She did this to find out the traitor.

By the way, clean up the people in the villa.

Who is loyal and who is a devil.

She would soon know all about it.

After hearing this, Xu Jialan finally realized what was going on.

It turned out that he really didn't lie to her.

"But it's not like nothing happened."

Mrs. Shen chuckled and said, "Shen's is a large enterprise. Your father is old and will be unable to handle it sooner or later. If we rely on Yan Kai alone, it will definitely not work."

Although they opposed Shen Xichuan before, they did not interfere with his decision in the end.

Let him do what he likes.

But his surname is Shen, and he is from the Shen family.

This is also the responsibility of the Shen family.

She didn't make it very clear.

But Xu Jialan understood.

Her eyes were slightly lowered and her hands unconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes.

Mrs. Shen didn’t say anything more, patted her hands, and got up to leave.

An Yuening looked at her back as she left, then retracted her gaze and turned to Xu Jialan.

She frowned, her eyes worried, "Are you okay?"

Xu Jialan came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay."

An Yuening sighed and soothed, "Actually, you don't have to worry. Isn't Chen Yankai still here? Anyway, such a big company won't be in trouble in the next few years."

She had heard about Shen Xichuan’s ten-year agreement before.

There are still four years left.

Retired after four years.

Xu Jialan fell silent.
