Chapter 434 Surprise
Father Zhou had a bad feeling and stared at Song Chengran with frowns.
"...You said you treated Jiahui as your own granddaughter, but you never respected her mother. Have you ever really cared about her feelings?"
Song Chengran shook his head, "You didn't, so don't tell her that you really love her in the future. True love is to love the whole family, not like you."
Mrs. Zhou was at a loss for a moment.
She seemed to not believe that she was scolded by a kid.
By the time she realized what was going on, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, "If I didn't love her, would I help her fight for those family properties? If I didn't love her, she would have been eaten alive by her father's daughters. How could she have grown up and gone to school peacefully, and even studied abroad?"
"...Speaking of this, I am indeed a little confused."
Song Chengran frowned slightly and looked at Grandma Zhou, "Besides the fact that Jiahui looks like you, is there any other reason? The Zhou family's property must be registered under Zhou Jiahui's name, only then it belongs to the Zhou family?"
Grandma Zhou's pupils shrank slightly, and her eyes quickly glanced at the mistress and her children.
She shouted at Song Chengran, "What nonsense are you talking about! Get out of here! We Zhou family don't welcome you. Don't come to our main house in the future!"
Mrs. Zhou didn't let Song Chengran continue talking and asked the housekeeper to drive him away.
Zhou Jiahui looked at the old lady deeply, and she and Song Chengran helped Zhou's mother leave.
After everyone left, Mrs. Zhou called Zhou's father, "Come with me to the ancestral hall."
Xiao San looked at the backs of the mother and son leaving, her eyes deep.
Mrs. Zhou took her son to the ancestral hall in the northwest corner of the mansion, pointed to the tablet of Mr. Zhou, and asked her son to kneel down.
Zhou's father knelt on the futon in response.
"How many times have I told you that I won't interfere with you and Xue'er's superficial marriage, but you must not make decisions on your own regarding the Zhou family's business. If you pass it on to your brothers and sisters, they won't be able to keep it, do you understand?!"
Zhou's father shook his head, "I don't understand! It's OK that I can't divorce that farm girl, but why can't I pass on the family business I worked so hard to build to the children I have with my beloved woman? Could it be that the Zhou family's business is also cursed..."
Mrs. Zhou looked at him.
Zhou's father felt scared, "Mom? I said... right?"
"If you don't believe in evil, you can try it. Anyway, I won't live for a few days. When I die, you can do whatever you want." Mrs. Zhou looked tired and closed her eyes.
Zhou's father frowned.
"I'll give them a few small companies to practice first, if..."
What if, both mother and son knew it very well.
...
Zhou's mother went to the Song family on purpose, picked out what she could say, and told Auntie Song and Jiang Yanhong all the things about the Zhou family honestly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't mind, and even thought that Song Chengran was marrying above his station.
They planned to increase the betrothal gift.
They must not let the group of people in the main house of the Zhou family look down on them.
In order to make the engagement banquet of the two people grand, Auntie Song and Jiang Yanhong specially went to find Fan Qingyi, wanting her to help invite Liu Manying and Liu Heye to help.
The Zhou family has to see the face of the richest man in the country, right?
What's more, Liu Manning is Mayor Liu's biological sister, and Liu Heye is the third daughter-in-law of the Su family who has been involved in politics and the military for three generations. The Zhou family must weigh the weight of these two if they want to bully the young couple.
Fan Qing organized a round and told Liu Manning and Liu Heye about the matter.
Liu Heye laughed at that time, "If you don't tell me, I still want to ask you, where is that kid Cheng Ran's engagement party? My son told me a few days ago that he wanted me to attend it with great fanfare. He said that Doudou was worried about Cheng Ran every day. They made a phone call and nine out of ten sentences were about Cheng Ran's engagement, fearing that he would be looked down upon by the Zhou family..."
Liu Manning also laughed.
"We were talking about this before we came. Have you chosen the place for the engagement party? If not, let's go to our holiday resort. It has all the necessary facilities and is convenient for arranging activities. I'll also invite a few friends to liven things up..."
Fan Qingyi's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled and thanked.
"In terms of connections, I can't even catch up with you guys, so it's up to you guys then?"
Liu Heye leaned back in her chair, raised her hand and pointed at Fan Qingyi, and complained to Liu Manying, "Look, what does it mean to keep company with the good and the bad? This is it! I've only been with you for a few years, and you've already learned how to flatter me, tsk tsk..."
Liu Manying laughed.
"You're not the only one following me. When I'm busy, I hear everything you two say. Are you the bad one?!"
"Liu Xiaosi, you want to be beaten, dare you say I'm bad..."
Liu Heye raised her legs high, pretending to kick Liu Manying's chair. Liu Manying kicked the table with her feet, and the chair slid one step away.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled at Liu Heye, "You can't kick me, hehe..."
Liu Heye, "... childish."
Fan Qing couldn't help laughing when she thought of her little daughter who liked to do this from time to time.
Liu Heye glanced at her and chuckled.
Liu Manying also laughed.
...
The engagement banquet was arranged at the three people's holiday villa.
Liu Heye was the most free. She followed up the arrangements of the wedding company throughout the whole process, asking the wedding company to make full use of all the projects of the resort and strive to make the engagement banquet lively and lively.
It would be best if it could make a sensation in the whole city, making people envious and jealous of the background behind the young couple.
Anyway, it was as high-profile as possible.
The prospective betrothed did not know these things before the engagement, because both of them were busy launching the APP, observing user data, real-time monitoring feedback, and emergency handling of problems.
The day before the engagement, the two worked overtime until late at night and could hardly get up in the morning.
One was dragged out of bed by his mother, and the other was woken up by the kiss of his child.
“Son, we’re getting engaged today. Come on, wash up, eat, change your clothes, and go pick up Jiahui.”
“Mommy, wake up. You said you would take me to meet Dad today. Wake up…”
So, when the host announced the exchange of engagement rings, a little glutinous rice dumpling came up with a tray, looked at Song Chengran and called him dad, and Song Chengran was stunned.
Aunt Song was confused.
Jiang Yanhong was stunned.
The whole audience was stunned.
What... is going on?
Even the experienced host stuttered several times and forced a smile, "Whose child is this? She's so pretty. Not to mention, she looks... like the man we're getting engaged to today?" Not
to mention, they really do look alike.
Li Shanhu was as steady as a mountain, laughing wildly in her heart.
She knew there would be a surprise here.
Thanks to her for holding back, we can see such an exciting scene today, hehe.
Fan Qing glanced at his daughter, chuckled and shook his head.
Liu Manying and Liu Heye looked at each other, then looked at Fan Qingyi and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"...The two of them had a short relationship abroad before, and the child was probably born at that time. It seems that Jiahui hasn't had time to tell Chengran yet." Fan Qingyi changed his explanation and explained it to the two.
The two sisters suddenly said "oh".
On the stage, Song Chengran looked at Zhou Jiahui, as if he thought of something, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Zhou Jiahui smiled at him and nodded.
"Our son, nicknamed Zhou Zhou."
Song Chengran glanced at Jiang Yanhong in a trance, his eyes slid down to the little dumpling standing in front of him.
He squatted down and raised his hand to touch the child's face, but seeing that the skin was white and red, so tender that it seemed that water could be squeezed out, he was afraid of breaking it, so he changed direction and gently touched the child's head.
"Congee..."
