Chapter 114 Good news, the wedding date is set!
Shen Mengxin did not come alone; she was accompanied by her agent, assistant, and bodyguards.
To avoid attracting public attention, she wore a sun hat and sunglasses.
An Ting didn't recognize her at first.
Seeing that the person was dressed so elegantly, she assumed it was someone from her in-laws' side and hurriedly went to greet them.
Anmi stepped in front of her and shielded her behind her.
"Mom, don't go!"
An Ting asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You should go say hello!"
It seems rather impolite not to greet people.
Anmi shook her head, signaling her not to speak yet.
Yan Bingli, who was standing to the side, also shielded Mo Qi behind him.
Yan Jinnian glanced at the two of them and silently walked to the front.
"mom."
Shen Mengxin's tone was icy: "You still remember I'm your mother?"
She turned her gaze to Anmi behind him.
"What kind of spell has this woman cast on you? Why are you so determined to marry her?"
It was only then that An Ting recognized who she was.
When she saw that the woman immediately belittled her daughter, she immediately became angry: "What do you mean?"
Anmi quickly stopped her.
It was the busiest time of day on the street. Shen Mengxin's luxury car was already quite eye-catching, and with Yan Bingli's three black cars, the atmosphere in front of the noodle shop was instantly elevated.
The neighbors on both sides were looking this way.
Fearing it would attract unnecessary attention, Yan Bingli sighed and said coldly, "Since you're here, go inside. Don't let people laugh at you outside."
Shen Mengxin's agent is a reasonable person and also advised her to go in and say whatever she wanted to say.
But Shen Mengxin ignored her and looked at Yan Jinnian: "Are you really determined to marry her?"
Yan Jinnian's gaze was fixed: "Yes."
He was tall and imposing, completely shielding Anmi from view.
"We are a married couple who have obtained a marriage certificate. Please respect my wife."
After all, she was his mother, so he couldn't resort to any drastic measures.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Shen Mengxin closed her eyes in disappointment.
She looked at Yan Bingli: "I have something to say to you privately."
After saying that, she turned around and went straight back to her car.
Yan Bingli knew that this matter needed to be clarified.
He patted Mo Qi's hand and said gently, "Go inside and wait for me."
Then he said to his mother-in-law, "You go in first, I'll be there in a bit."
Shen Mengxin's car was parked on the other side of the road.
His bodyguards escorted him there.
As soon as he got into the car, the woman took off her sunglasses with a stern face: "It's one thing for you to hate me all these years, but why don't you even spare your own son?"
The familiar headache is back.
Yan Bingli said helplessly, "The two of them are truly in love and deeply in love. You insist on breaking them up and now you're even framing me?"
What kind of logic is this?
Shen Mengxin didn't want to argue with him about this. She questioned, "Then why did her son marry a rich girl from Hong Kong, while my son has to marry a woman who runs a run-down noodle shop?"
"Was this something you deliberately arranged? To deprive Jin Nian of his support?"
Yan Bingli thought she was just talking nonsense.
“If Jin Nian wanted to marry a rich girl from Hong Kong, I would have given him my blessing. But the problem is that he doesn’t want to. He has someone he likes.”
"As his mother, instead of hoping for his happiness, you keep slandering the person he loves. Do you even deserve to be his mother?"
Shen Mengxin fell silent.
The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became suffocating and oppressive.
Since moving to Ya Hai, Yan Bingli has had no contact with her except for some necessary occasions.
He knew that Shen Mengxin didn't value feelings much; she only cared about interests.
She is a realistic, self-interested woman who lives a carefree life.
Women like this are not attractive to men.
But she doesn't need to attract men.
She spent her whole life trying to live away from men.
He said in a deep voice, "I know you don't want Jin Nian to marry her, simply because you're worried I'll hand over the Yan family business to his younger brother. Here I can solemnly tell you, I have already entrusted the Yan family business entirely to Jin Nian."
"What?"
Shen Mengxin clearly did not expect him to make this decision.
Yan Bingli didn't want to waste words with her, so he simply said, "I have already transferred 70% of my shares to him. He is now the largest shareholder of Yan's Group. Can you rest assured now?"
"real?"
The Yan family did not fall into the hands of that illegitimate child!
In the end, she won!
Shen Mengxin's heart began to beat faster.
Yan Bingli pushed open the door: "So you should stop interfering in his marriage and let him choose for himself."
After saying that, he got off the bus.
When the door opened, the agent and assistant rushed into the car to ask how Shen Mengxin was doing.
She chuckled softly, "It's alright, let's go back."
You're going back so soon?
The assistant had been with Shen Mengxin for many years and had watched Yan Jinnian grow up.
She glanced out the window: "But aren't you going in to take a look? After all, this is a life-changing event for the child!"
"I'm not going." Shen Mengxin leaned back against the chair.
"From now on, he will walk his own path."
"Let's go back."
There was work scheduled for the afternoon, so the agent didn't linger and immediately had the driver leave.
Outside the window, the noodle shop's door gradually disappeared.
While the car was stopped at the intersection waiting for the red light, Shen Mengxin took out a small velvet box from her handbag.
The lid was opened, revealing a dazzling diamond ring.
At that wedding that shocked the nation, she watched as the man placed the ring on her finger.
The 14.68-carat Blue Star Tear, the most expensive diamond ring ever sold at auction in Asia thirty years ago, symbolizes the purest and most pristine love.
Unfortunately, she only got the diamond ring, not love.
So she brought it here today, thinking that if her son insisted on it, she would give the diamond ring to Anmi.
She's spent half her life fighting, playing chess with others until she's bloodied and battered. If fate insists that she concede a move, then let it be to her son.
"Wow, the last time I saw this ring was probably thirty years ago, right?" the agent exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the ring.
Chen Mengxin smiled and closed the lid.
"Yes, thirty years...it's gone by in the blink of an eye."
Right and wrong, success and failure, good and evil, love and hate, all come to pass in the blink of an eye.
Who can say for sure?
She gently closed her eyelids.
Just treat it as watching a show.
Who doesn't act out a few scenes in their life?
…
Inside the small noodle shop, after some discussion, the wedding date was finally set.
Yan Bingli originally chose the 8th of next month, but An Ting said that the 6th was better than the 8th.
To prove it, she specially brought out the old almanac and said that the two of them were suitable to get married on that day.
Yan Jinnian agreed with An Ting's opinion, thinking that the sooner the better.
But when Anmi saw that her father-in-law was all alone and had no one to support him, she switched sides and said that number 8 would also work.
After much back and forth, the two sides finally settled on the number 8.
It wasn't because the 8th was actually better than the 6th, but because they suddenly realized that Anting had mistakenly bought last year's almanac.
"..."
After the wedding date was set, the couple went to the best hotel in the county for a meal.
An Ting originally said she wanted to cook, but Yan Bingli said that on such a nice day, she shouldn't overwork herself, and everyone should just go out to eat together.
After the meal, he had someone take out the gift for An Ting from the trunk.
They are some very expensive tonics.
An Ting didn't stand on ceremony with her in-laws and accepted everything.
They had originally intended to invite them to stay at the noodle shop for tea, but Yan Bingli said it was getting late and they needed to rush back to Yahai.
An Ting didn't stay any longer.
After the two left, Yan Jinnian and An Mi stayed in the shop for an afternoon, and then took the high-speed train back to Beijing in the evening.
With the wedding date set, the next steps are choosing a wedding venue, taking wedding photos, and notifying relatives and friends.
Jin Nian has already had people preparing the first banquet.
The third one was handled by Yan Bingli.
Now only the middle one remains.
"Yan Jinnian, when are we going to take our wedding photos?"
Anmi, with a face mask on, nudged the man next to her.
Yan Jinnian was looking at documents on his iPad. When he heard her ask, he put his things down and said, "This weekend."
Happy weekend! I hope it doesn't interfere with my work.
Anmi asked expectantly, "Where are we going to film?"
If the filming is to be done in Beijing, she plans to invite Cai Cai and Qiu Qiu along as well.
A wedding photoshoot is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so of course she couldn't just take pictures.
I also want to film some silly little videos with my best friend, hehe!
She guessed, "Is it that popular photography studio in the Haikou area? That place is quite famous in Beijing!"
"no."
Yan Jinnian reached out his finger to help her smooth out the wrinkles on the face mask.
"We're not filming here."
"Huh?" Anmi opened her eyes.
"Where to?"
Yan Jinnian gently curled the corners of his lips.
"Go to Denmark, Faroe Islands."
