Chen Yourong said to Luo Lingyue with a smile on her face, "Everyone must have been tired from the journey. I specially arranged a banquet in advance to welcome you all!"
After that, Shen Yourong led a group of people from the General's Mansion to the most famous and largest restaurant in Jiangning City - Furong Restaurant.
Luo Lingyue looked up at the grand restaurant and squinted her eyes. She asked curiously, "Miss Chen, could this restaurant be part of your family's property?"
Chen Yourong smiled slightly, opened her red lips and replied: "This restaurant is actually a gift my father gave me the year I was born. Now, it is in my charge to manage it." There was a hint of pride and satisfaction in her tone.
Shen Yourong led them into the restaurant with a smile on her face. Luo Lingyue looked around curiously. The restaurant had a unique decoration style, full of rich Jiangnan style.
As soon as you step into the restaurant, you'll feel transported to the Jiangnan water towns. Exquisite ink paintings hang on the walls, depicting the beauty and unique charm of Jiangnan. The tables and chairs, designed in a simple and elegant style, exude a subtle cultural atmosphere.
The most eye-catching thing is the Kabuki performing. They are dressed in gorgeous traditional Jiangnan costumes, dancing lightly, accompanied by the melodious Jiangnan tunes, and their singing is melodious and graceful, like the sound of nature.
This gentle and elegant atmosphere made people feel extremely comfortable and happy, as if all their worries could disappear here. Luo Lingyue couldn't help but indulge in it, and her mood became relaxed. She thought to herself, this Chen Yourong is still very business-minded! So, she decided to enjoy this wonderful time.
Shen Yourong led them into the private room on the second floor. After everyone was seated, Luo Lingfeng said to Shen Yourong, "Miss Shen, I'm so sorry. My father and my eldest, fourth, and fifth brothers are all stationed in Beiyuan right now and can't make it back for the time being. My mother needs to take care of my pregnant sister-in-law, and my third brother has important responsibilities at court and can't leave for too long. Therefore, my family sent Xiaoqi and me here to discuss the marriage between my second brother and you with the Shen family!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yourong couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of sadness quickly etched across her brows. She whispered, "Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo doesn't really want to be with me! I admit that I did intentionally throw the embroidered ball to him, but it was also out of helplessness. I've been in love with him for a long time, but..."
Before she could finish her words, Luo Lingyue suddenly interrupted with a smile, "Miss Shen, don't worry! My second brother has always shown his shrewdness only when doing business. As for love affairs, he has never been involved in them. How can he know clearly what is really in your heart? Don't worry! This time, my brother and I are here to help you achieve your wish!"
Shen Yourong's eyes flashed with cunningness: "Your General's Mansion actually agreed to let Luo Lingliu marry into the Shen family?"
Luo Lingfeng had a faint smile on his face as he said softly, "Miss Shen, don't worry! My mother has already stated that the Luo family has many sons, so marrying one or two into the family won't be a big deal!"
Luo Lingyue, standing by, excitedly interrupted and asked, "If my second brother marries into your Shen family, will he not have to pay the betrothal gift?"
Chen Yourong smiled slightly and replied, "Of course! As long as Luo Lingliu is willing to marry into the Shen family, the General's Mansion can choose any of the Shen family's businesses as my betrothal gift to Luo Lingliu!"
After hearing this, Luo Lingyue's eyes gleamed with greed. "Is that really the case? My future sister-in-law! If my second brother successfully marries into the Shen family, I'm sure the Shen family won't look down on his small business in the capital, right?"
Shen Yourong chuckled and said with certainty: "Of course it belongs to the General's Mansion!"
Luo Lingyue couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! That's great, second sister-in-law! It won't be long before we can raise our glasses together to celebrate your and second brother's happy event!" Her laughter echoed in the air, full of anticipation and joy.
Xiao Jinghan watched the scene unfold before him, pondering inwardly. He was genuinely surprised to see how easily the Luo siblings betrayed Luo Lingliu with just a few words. However, what concerned him even more was the fact that Luo Lingyue's greedy demeanor was so remarkably similar to someone else's, leaving him feeling somewhat dazed and uncertain.
At this time, Luo Lingyue raised her wine glass and said confidently: "As long as my second sister-in-law listens to my arrangements, she will be able to hold a grand wedding with my brother in a few days!" After she finished speaking, a determined light flashed in her eyes.
Chen Yourong frowned slightly, clinked her glasses with Luo Lingyue, and downed the wine in one gulp. Then, she asked worriedly, "But if your second brother doesn't have feelings for me, then this forced marriage won't be sweet. I don't expect him to be unhappy after marriage." Her tone revealed a hint of helplessness and worry.
Luo Lingyue picked up a mouthful of food and put it into her mouth, chewing it, a sly smile on her face: "Don't worry, sister-in-law! It's easy to find out whether my second brother is sincere to you! Hehehe, I have a clever plan. With just a little trick, the truth will be revealed to the world! You just need to..."
Luo Lingyue put her mouth close to Shen Yourong's ear and whispered in a low voice. After Shen Yourong finished listening, her eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes: "Will it really work? Are you sure Luo Lingliu will fall into the trap?"
Luo Lingyue smiled confidently, with the corners of her mouth raised into a complacent arc: "Of course there is no problem! Don't look at my second brother as smart and shrewd in the business world. Once it involves the people he cares about, he will definitely be confused and have no time to take care of other things! Let's wait and see the show then!" She seemed to have foreseen the scene after the plan was successful, and her eyes flashed with excitement.
Chen Yourong said excitedly, "Great! Then let's do as you planned! I'll go back right away and have people start preparing! You can all enjoy the delicious food and wine here and stay here with peace of mind! Our inn is the best choice in Jiangning!"
Luo Lingyue smiled and responded, "Okay! We'll follow Second Sister-in-law's arrangements! As soon as my second brother agrees, we'll immediately go to the Chen Mansion to discuss wedding arrangements, to prevent him from changing his mind or encountering other unexpected events. It would be a hassle!"
At this moment, Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingfeng looked at each other tacitly. Xiao Jinghan's eyes revealed a hint of emotion: Your sister only wants your second brother to become her son-in-law!
Luo Lingfeng rolled his eyes and said cunningly: Your future wife is obviously trying to take over my second brother's business!
The two of them understood each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the same time...
