Chapter 68
Leng Jingshen felt a little timid, but he still spoke up: "Um...Xia Lin, you should still remember what we talked about before, right?"
"We agreed at the time that if we became in-laws, we would arrange marriages for our children. Now that they have grown up, isn't it time to consider fulfilling this promise?"
When Xia Lin heard this, he was stunned, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed across his face.
He slowly came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "Look at your current status, and then look at me. I am just an ordinary teacher. How can I be so high up as to be in your Leng family!"
After saying that, he rejected Leng Jingshen's proposal without hesitation.
Leng Jingshen quickly explained: "Oh, don't say that, I'm not that kind of snob! Besides, my family members are all well-educated, kind-hearted people, they will definitely treat your child well."
"We will definitely love your daughter as our own flesh and blood." He assured Xia Lin sincerely.
However, Xia Lin didn't seem to buy it. He frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "Oh? Really? But there are only four children in my family who are old enough to get married. Unfortunately, they are all boys, no girls."
"Do you have a suitable girl in your family? Actually, I think my four sons are all good. If you want, you can pick any one."
Leng Jingshen and Gu Yutong couldn't help but smile helplessly after hearing this, and the corners of their mouths twitched at the same time.
It's obvious that Xia Lin did this on purpose. There doesn't seem to be any daughter of the right age in their family!
"I don't believe you don't know what's going on in my family. I only have one son. I'm talking about my son and your daughter." Leng Jingshen said clearly. He didn't pretend anymore.
Xia Lin sneered, knowing that this old fox was up to no good.
Zhong Yanyan looked at her husband's sneer and raised her eyebrows. She felt that her husband was turning evil recently. Could it be that An An's matter had triggered his hidden genes?
"I don't have any idea. It's a different era now. Arranged marriage is not an option. Free love is encouraged now. Besides, my An An has no plans to have a boyfriend or get married recently."
"I plan to stay for a few more years. Your boy is already grown up. If you want him to get married, just let him go on blind dates." Xia Lin refused to do anything. It was so hard to get An An to want to come back, so how could he send her to the Leng family?
"That's not the case. Young people nowadays are more impulsive and don't have a deep understanding of feelings. As elders, we can guide their emotional lives appropriately, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble and harm." Leng Jingshen said.
"Needless to say, I hope she can find someone she truly loves instead of being forced to accept a loveless marriage." Xia Lin said firmly.
"But what if they are destined to be together? Will you stop them from being together?" Leng Jingshen asked back.
"Impossible, An An has no plans to date recently, and it is impossible for her to date your son." Xia Lin said. "And I will not agree to them being together." Xia Lin said firmly.
"Besides, your son is so much older than my daughter. He's too old. Don't want him." Xia Lin rejected Leng Jingshen's proposal without hesitation.
Leng Jingshen quickly explained: "No, he will love his wife more when he is older. Do you have any opinion about my Leng Zexi? Can I ask him to change his career?" His tone was helpless.
However, Xia Lin did not change her mind: "No need to change, he is a good person and excellent, but my family cannot afford him. Also, I plan to find a live-in son-in-law for my daughter, not to marry him off." Her attitude was firm, which directly cut off Leng Jingshen's thoughts.
Hearing this, Gu Yutong hurriedly snatched the phone and said, "Yes, yes, my Zexi can be a live-in son-in-law. As long as you are willing, our two families can find a time to discuss their marriage."
When Leng Jingshen heard this, he couldn't believe his ears and looked at his wife in surprise.
Gu Yutong glared at him and signaled him not to speak. At this moment, she thought that as long as Xia Lin could calm down, everything would be fine.
After all, there are three children in the family, and there will always be one left for the Leng family to carry on the family line. And it is not difficult to marry into the family. When the time comes, it will be better to move to a bigger house and live together with the two families, right?
Besides, it doesn’t mean that they are no longer her grandchildren just because they changed their surnames. Xia Lin really didn’t know how to respond.
"Is there something wrong with your son?" Otherwise, the Leng family, with its wealth and power, wanted to be someone's son-in-law. Who were they trying to fool?
Gu Yutong felt a little guilty when he asked this. There was nothing wrong with him, it was just that he had obtained a marriage certificate with your daughter and had a child.
"How is that possible? My son is in good health." Others have two babies in three years, but his son has three babies in one year. How could he not be good?
Xia Lin felt that the matter was not that simple. "What's going on? How did you know that I have a daughter? Don't tell me that you investigated me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yutong threw the phone to her husband and said, "Your son caused this trouble, you should solve it yourself." Gu Yutong was too embarrassed to say anything more.
Leng Jingshen was really speechless. What was going on? He was clearly their son, so how come he was his alone now?
So he couldn't help but retort: "That's your son too, okay?"
"Yeah, so what?" Gu Yutong raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
"Really? It's still the same as before. If my son does the right thing and does it well, it's your credit. If my son makes a mistake, it's my responsibility. I really admire you." Leng Jingshen looked helpless and felt that he could not wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"You have an objection?" Gu Yutong raised her chin and looked at him provocatively.
"No, I have no objection. It's all my fault. I didn't teach you well." Leng Jingshen quickly shook his head and waved his hands, indicating that he absolutely did not dare to have any objection.
Are you kidding? How could he dare to have any objection? If he really had an objection, being sent to the study to sleep would be the lightest punishment. He might even be kicked out of the house and forced to sleep in the company!
"What's going on? Don't tell me that your Leng Zexi and my An An are together now?" Xia Lin asked very seriously. This time An An broke up with Zhou Mufan and planned to come back to accompany their parents. She wouldn't be involved with the Leng family again, right?
Leng Jingshen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Well, Xia Lin, let me tell you something. This was really an accident, but my son was a little impulsive."
"But my intentions are good, and I really want to be responsible. If you have any requests, just tell us. We will agree to them, as long as you can calm down."
