Chapter 340: Door-to-Door Engagement
"So." Zhu Qin's three indifferent words made Shen Wenxuan tremble. It was over. His wife was going to kill someone.
"Tianci doesn't mind being beaten. He really likes Yanyan. Today he brought his mother to our house to propose marriage. The two children have been together for such a long time, it's time to set a date for the wedding." Chen Meng said.
Ling Tianci's mother looked around the Shen family as soon as she came in. She had heard of the name of the villa area. She was already very proud that she could live in the inner city. In addition, her son was somewhat capable, so there were very few people she could look up to.
After entering the villa area, she was shocked by the layout here. Every house was very grand, and there were patrols here, and each of them carried a gun.
The Shen family's villa is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious here. It not only has a large courtyard, but also has special guards at the door and inside. It looks more like a manor than a villa.
Ling Tianci's mother was quick-witted. She thought that if her son could marry Shen Yan, he would not only get a promotion and a raise, becoming the core management of District 3, but she could also ask Shen Yan to let her live in a house in the villa area, and perhaps their family could be like the Shen family.
Now hearing Chen Meng mention her, she immediately put on an arrogant attitude, as if she was already Chen Yan's mother-in-law.
"Yes, our son likes Shen Yan very much. Don't worry, when Shen Yan comes to our house in the future, I will treat her like my own daughter."
Chen Yan sneered and looked at Ling Tianci: "What's your name?"
Chen Yan's aura was too strong, and Chen Meng was a little dissatisfied, but she also understood the status of this nephew in this family, so she pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at Zhu Qin, and said nothing.
Ling Tianci looked at Chen Yan and stammered, "My name is Ling Tianci?"
Shen Yan continued to ask: "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"I have three older sisters and no younger sister." For some reason, he didn't dare to lie in front of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan sneered: "You said you will treat our Yanyan as your daughter in the future?"
Ling Tianci's mother laughed: "Yes."
"Then our Shen Yan will have no good life in the rest of her life." Shen Yan said, "She has three sisters and one brother. Ling Tianci, your family values boys over girls. You won't ask our Shen Yan to keep giving birth to sons, right? Shen Yan is treated like a princess in our family, not a slave in your family."
Shen Yan's words made Shen Meng dissatisfied. A little girl like Shen Yan was now living a better life than most girls. With the Shen family around, Ling Tianci's mother naturally would not make things too difficult for Shen Yan.
"You said that your family is here to set the date. I wonder how much dowry your family will give." Shen Yan said. He remembered that Shen Yan had just said that their family did not plan to give a dowry.
"Chen Yan, what's wrong with you? This is your sister's marriage, and it's the end of the world now. It's not about the gift of marriage." Chen Meng was afraid that Chen Yan would ruin this arranged marriage.
"Aunt, you also said that interrupting others is very uncultured. Our Shen family cannot produce uncultured people. Please don't interrupt me." Shen Yan had been unhappy since just now. Seeing such a family, the anger had spread throughout his chest.
Chen Meng was startled by his serious look, and then she was filled with anger. She had been spoiled for so many years.
Chen Yan said with a cold face: "Our family has prepared a lot of dowry for Yanyan, so how much do you prepare for the betrothal gifts?"
Ling Tianci's mother curled the corners of her mouth. She had said before that she didn't want to give a betrothal gift, but now that Shen Yan's brother had said so, she had to express her gratitude somehow.
Her heart ached and bled: "Ms. Shen just said that now is the end of the world, and the wedding gift is no longer important. However, in order to show our appreciation for Yanyan, our family prepared 10,010,000 yuan, which means one in ten thousand."
Chen Yan raised his eyebrows: "I don't know if it's the base points, gold, or cash."
"It's cash." Ling Tianci's mother's heart was bleeding. Life was hard now. Who could come up with so many points and gold at once?
"Don't worry, our Tianci has a bright future. He is an honest man and will definitely live a good life with Yanyan in the future." Ling Tianci's mother promised.
"No." Zhu Qin, who had been silent, spoke up now, "Our Yanyan will not marry your son, Chen Meng, take her away from me."
Zhu Qin had already politely ordered them to leave. Shen Wenxuan didn't even dare to breathe loudly. His wife and son were angry, and he was also angry when he heard it.
Chen Meng had said before that the people she introduced to Yanyan were all young talents. Now it seems that her daughter has suffered a great deal of injustice.
“Zhu Qin, what do you mean? I’m kind enough to introduce a date to Shen Yan, but my brother hasn’t said anything yet. When will it be your turn to make the decision in the Shen family?”
Zhu Qin didn't even give Chen Meng a glance, and turned to look at Shen Wenxuan: "Tell me, do you want to let them go?"
"Of course you have the final say in this family." Shen Wenxuan said with tact. Zhu Qin was giving him a way out, and if he didn't take it quickly, he would lose his home in a moment.
"Brother!" Chen Meng was furious.
Chen Yan looked at Ling Tianci and his mother and said, "If your marriage with our family fails, my sister's life will not be controlled by you. She can live however she wants."
Zhu Qin looked at her son, and Shen Yan continued, "My sister doesn't have to manage the household, nor does she have to keep giving birth to sons for your family. Also, don't bother my sister, and don't bother her at work, or I will let you know what it means to be the person in charge of the base."
Zhu Qin's eyes turned red with anger when she heard this. No wonder her daughter had been so listless these past two days. After going through so many weird things, how could she be happy? She might even have been wronged.
Even his usually calm son got angry, which shows the seriousness of the matter.
"What do you mean by that? If you don't like people like us, just say so. People like you who are so high and mighty are stepping on people like us to get to the top. Your daughter and my son are dating because she likes my son and wants to marry into our family. Why are you pretending here now?"
Ling Tianci's mother grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"I really like Chen Yan. If you think the gift price is too little, I can add another ten thousand." Ling Tianci said feeling aggrieved.
Zhu Qin sneered: "Our Yanyan's monthly living expenses are more than 20,000 yuan, and that's in points. Our family is not worthy of your cash."
This number made Ling Tianci and his mother gasp. Chen Yan was a hen that laid golden eggs. They wanted Chen Yan to be their daughter-in-law. Apart from her, there were few people in the base who were worthy of her son.
Chen Yan said coldly: "Butler, send the guest away."
Although they said they were seeing the guests off, butler Shen had two tall bodyguards behind him. When Ling Tianci and his mother saw them, they immediately shrank their necks and walked away dejectedly, but their expressions showed reluctance.
