046: The driving force behind the marriage
Lin Meixian stayed in the hotel for several days.
In fact, Wen Zhicheng found the hotel to apologize that night. Lin Meixian did not quarrel with Wen Zhicheng. She just said that she was tired from preparing for the wedding banquet some time ago and wanted to stay in the hotel to relax.
Xu Yao inherited her beauty from Lin Meixian. Even in her middle age, Lin Meixian still has charm. Even when she is drinking coffee in the hotel, men come up to her and chat with her.
Wen Zhicheng went to the hotel several times a day, delivering breakfast to Lin Meixian in the morning, vegetables and fruits at noon, and bird's nest porridge cooked by the aunt at home in the evening.
Lin Meixian didn't even touch the food Wen Zhicheng brought her, so Wen Zhicheng had to find a way out for himself: "Is the food not to your liking?"
Lin Meixian glanced at him lightly without saying anything. Wen Zhicheng had already thought of a solution:
"The nanny at home now cooks according to my and Yiyi's tastes. Should I find another nanny to cook specifically for you?"
Lin Meixian neither said anything good nor bad.
The cooking of Wen's aunt was not to Lin Meixian's liking, but she never complained. When Wen Zhicheng asked her, she said that she wanted to control her weight and didn't eat much. Wen Zhicheng advised her to put her health first, and Lin Meixian would change the subject at the right time.
Now Wen Zhicheng wants to hire a cook for Lin Meixian, but Lin Meixian neither agrees nor objects.
If a woman is too virtuous and considerate, a man will take it for granted.
If he is willing to pay, let him pay!
Wen Zhicheng hired a new cook as quickly as possible.
In addition to sending food to Lin Meixian, he also sent clothes and bags to the hotel. Lin Meixian had left the Wen family in a hurry that day and must have been in need of a change of clothes at the hotel. Wen Zhicheng didn't know which one Lin Meixian wanted to wear, so he simply sent her new clothes.
In the end, what really calmed Lin Meixian down wasn't the food, clothes, or bags, but the fact that Wen Zhicheng packed up all of Wen Yiyi's personal belongings that had been left at the Wen family villa and sent them to the flat in the city center, thus fulfilling his promise with action.
Lin Meixian was finally willing to talk to Wen Zhicheng: "You want to match Yiyi and Shen Yan, so why would I object? There's nothing wrong with putting some things on the table openly. Don't use me, your vicious stepmother, as a cover."
Wen Zhicheng looked annoyed. "I wasn't using you as a pretext. I really wanted to bring Yiyi and Shen Yan together. It's all my fault for not being transparent enough that things turned out like this."
Lin Meixian was decisive. "If Yiyi doesn't object, you should discuss with the Shen family and finalize the marriages of the two children as soon as possible. This will be clear and better for everyone. People outside may discuss it for a while, but unmarried men and women have the right to choose each other. Once the dust settles, outsiders will not say anything."
Wen Zhicheng was hesitant about this matter because he was afraid that others would laugh at Wen Yiyi. After all, Shen Yan had been engaged to Xu Yao before. If Xu Yao broke off the engagement and Wen Yiyi was with Shen Yan again, wouldn't that mean she was just picking up Xu Yao's leftovers?
Lin Meixian hated Wen Zhicheng's ambiguity. Anyway, Xu Yao and Shen Yan were no longer possible, so it would be a good thing for Xu Yao if Shen Yan found someone else as soon as possible.
…
Lin Meixian's attitude was revealed. Wen Zhicheng really wanted to bring Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan together, and he actually went to talk to Shen's father about it.
Father Shen was very satisfied with Wen Yiyi and said that the two children could get engaged first and then slowly develop their relationship, and then hold the wedding in a year or two.
The one who is unwilling is Shen Yan.
Chen Yan thinks Wen Yiyi is too stupid and he doesn't like Wen Yiyi at all.
Chen Yan agreed to let Wen Yiyi stay in his company and followed Wen Yiyi home to save face, all while holding his breath to see if Xu Yao would regret it.
If Chen Yan were really asked to marry Wen Yiyi, he wouldn't want to!
Father Shen asked Shen Yan: "Do you have a woman you like now?"
"No--"
Father Shen smiled, "Then choose Wen Yiyi. Don't despise Wen Yiyi for not being smart. Wen Zhicheng made her an only child. Marrying Wen Yiyi means one plus one is greater than two. Can't you figure out such a simple account? Besides, a man should marry a wife who is generally acceptable. If the wife is too opinionated, it will be more troublesome for you."
The "too opinionated woman" that Mr. Shen mentioned was obviously referring to Xu Yao.
Although the Xu family went bankrupt, the Shen family could not control Xu Yao. Xu Yao took the initiative to cancel the engagement because she was too opinionated.
Shen's father's words touched Shen Yan's sore spot. He couldn't find any words to refute his father, and acquiesced to the result agreed upon by Shen's father and Wen Zhicheng.
——It’s just an engagement anyway.
——Shen’s company and Wen Zhicheng are discussing a cooperation project, and having a marriage contract as a bond can better promote the cooperation project.
…
Chen Yan's side was taken care of, but Wen Yiyi disagreed.
Chen Yan is Xu Yao’s ex-fiancé!
If she could snatch Chen Yan away from Xu Yao, she would be considered capable.
Chen Yan was the one who had his engagement broken off. If she gets engaged to Shen Yan again, wouldn't she be the one taking the blame?
Wen Zhicheng was so angry at his daughter's willfulness that he had a headache. "If you had no interest in Shen Yan at all, why did you go to work at the Shen family's company? And you even brought Shen Yan back home!"
Wen Yiyi said confidently: "I went to work at the Shen family to piss you off. I brought Chen Yan home because I knew Lin Meixian was going to invite Xu Yao and his wife to dinner at home, and I just wanted to annoy Xu Yao. Since I was a child, you always compared me with Xu Yao, complaining that I didn't have as many talents as her and that I wasn't as good at studying as her. The person I hate the most is Xu Yao. As long as she's unhappy, I'm happy!"
Wen Zhicheng didn't expect Wen Yi to be so angry.
When two families get together, it is basic courtesy to praise each other's children. Xu Qinghua and Lin Meixian have praised Yiyi many times, so why can't this girl remember it?
Wen Zhicheng changed his mind and advised Wen Yiyi, "If you want to make Xu Yao unhappy, then you should have gotten engaged to Shen Yan. You also saw that the husband Xu Yao married is just an ordinary programmer. Although he looks outstanding, how can he compare with Shen Yan in terms of family background and income? Xu Yao broke off the engagement with Shen Yan on impulse. She may not regret it in the short term, but the longer time goes, the greater the gap between Gu Jun and Shen Yan. Do you think Xu Yao will regret it? Unfortunately, many things cannot be reversed once the bow is shot. Even if she regrets it, there is nothing she can do. You married Shen Yan and lived the free life that originally belonged to her. This is the biggest discomfort to her."
Wen Zhicheng is indeed optimistic about Chen Yan. Even if outsiders talk about it, Wen Zhicheng still wants to choose Chen Yan as his son-in-law.
Chen Yan is definitely a good man among a bunch of rich second-generations. He has no hobbies of drinking and partying, and he is quite capable at work. If Wen Yiyi missed Chen Yan, she might not be able to find a partner with such good overall conditions.
Marrying Chen Yan will make Xu Yao regret it?
Wen Yiyi was a little shaken.
"Dad, let me think about it."
Wen Zhicheng was afraid that pushing too much would backfire, so he deliberately provoked Wen Yiyi, "It's okay, take your time to think about it, Daddy won't rush you. Anyway, Chen Yan just broke up with Xu Yao not long ago, and he also needs time to get over his previous relationship. He won't meet other blind dates so soon, you still have time to think about it."
Chen Yan really didn't want to go on a blind date, but he couldn't stand the fuss of several of his friends.
Especially that Tang Hao, who was like a matchmaker, jumping up and down every day to help Chen Yan find a new girlfriend.
Wen Zhicheng was right. Xu Yao must have been crazy to break off the engagement with Shen Yan. I wonder how much she will regret it after she has lived in poverty for a while... Thinking of this, Wen Yiyi felt that Shen Yan had become a hot commodity again.
Wen Yiyi confirmed with Wen Zhicheng: "We are just engaged first. When to get married, or whether to get married or not, is up to me to decide."
"Yes, it's up to you."
Wen Zhicheng promised, "If you want to marry my precious daughter, Chen Yan must perform well!"
——Wen Yiyi looks down on Lin Meixian, but she doesn’t know that it was Lin Meixian who was pushing her engagement with Shen Yan behind the scenes.
