Chapter 408: Together with Reason
After saying that, Li Dong looked at Li's father and said nothing more.
The house was extremely quiet. Li's mother looked at her husband, then at her son, and remained silent.
Time passed by minute by minute. After a few long minutes, Father Li slowly spoke:
"Didn't their family arrange a meeting with us before? Why don't they even want to meet us now? They just want you to go get the marriage certificate directly?"
"Of course not. Xiaoying's parents have been waiting for your time."
Li Dong shook his head and denied it.
"We are not busy people, do you still need to wait for our time?"
Father Li asked back.
His words left Li Dong speechless for a moment.
"Xiaodong, call Xiaoying right away and tell her we're available anytime."
Hearing the meaning of her husband's words, Li's mother hurriedly urged Li Dongdao.
This damn old man is just too proud. He clearly wants to meet the in-laws, but he won't say it directly.
Mother Li complained to her husband in her heart.
"Mom, do you mean that Dad is willing to meet Xiaoying's parents?"
Looking at Li's mother, Li Dong said uncertainly.
He had previously thought that Mr. Li’s rage after hearing that he agreed to take over Zhu Ying’s house meant that the other party did not agree with him and Zhu Ying being together.
Li Dong has already started thinking about how to change his father's mind.
Now when Li Dong heard Li's mother say that she would arrange a meeting between the two families, he could hardly believe his ears.
"If we don't meet now, do we have to wait until you get your marriage certificate before meeting? If we do that, our neighbors will definitely laugh at our Li family when they find out."
Father Li answered first.
"Okay, I'll call Xiaoying right away."
Li Dong was overjoyed by his father's words. He picked up his phone and walked aside.
"After meeting, don't say anything you shouldn't say."
After Li Dong left, Li's mother instructed Li's father.
Father Li sighed helplessly and nodded, "I know."
"I know you feel uncomfortable, but for the sake of your son's happiness, you have to endure it."
Mother Li continued to persuade Father Li.
"There are so many good girls, why does he have to find a rich girl?"
Mr. Li answered the question irrelevantly.
Knowing that Father Li still couldn't let go, Mother Li comforted him, "This is fate. My son is destined to be with Xiaoying. You, please stop making things more complicated."
After looking at his wife, Father Li said nothing.
"Dad, Mom, Xiaoying's family wants us to have dinner tomorrow night. Is that a problem?"
A few minutes later, Li Dong told his parents Zhu Ying's reply.
Mr. and Mrs. Li shook their heads at the same time.
"Then I'll reply to her right away." Li Dong said with a smile.
"Look, how happy my son is." Staring at Li Dong's back, Li's mother whispered in Li's father's ear.
Staring at Li Dong's back, Li's father nodded silently. This brat has really grown up!
The next afternoon, Li Dong took two hours off, went home early to pick up his parents, and went to the hotel booked by Zhu Ying's family.
"Uncle, aunt, hello!" Outside the hotel, Zhu Ying had been waiting outside early. When she saw Li Dong's car approaching, she immediately went to greet him.
"Xiaoying." Mother Li greeted Zhu Ying.
Hearing Li's mother's call, Zhu Ying walked over to Li's mother, put her arm around her, and helped her walk into the hotel.
"Xiaoying, auntie and uncle didn't know the truth before and said some hurtful things to you. I hope you don't mind."
When the two of them walked away alone, Li's mother apologized to Zhu Ying.
"Auntie, I did something wrong before. I shouldn't have concealed my job and my identity from you."
Although the decision was proposed by Li Dong, Zhu Ying still took the responsibility on herself.
"Xiaodong has already told us. He didn't let you tell."
Zhu Ying's answer touched Li's mother. It was obvious that this girl really loved her son.
Zhu Ying was very happy with what Li's mother said. Li Dong was willing to speak for her in front of his parents, which made Zhu Ying feel that her choice this time was correct.
"Please take a seat!" As soon as the door of the private room was opened, Mu Yunzhu and Zhu Dongpeng stood up and greeted them warmly.
After sitting down, Mu Yunzhu asked the waiter to serve the food.
At the dining table, several people began to talk enthusiastically.
After the meal, Mr. Li's impression of Zhu Dongpeng and Mu Yunzhu changed greatly.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, I call you like this, you two won't have any objections, right?"
Under the influence of alcohol, Father Li took the initiative to change the way he addressed Mu Yunzhu and his wife.
"Of course I have no objection." Zhu Dongpeng made the decision and responded.
"Before, due to some personal reasons, I didn't like rich people for a long time. I could even say that I hated them a little bit."
"But after meeting you today, I realized how narrow-minded I was before. Not all rich people are bad. I sincerely apologize to you here."
After saying this, Father Li picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Dad, drink less." Li Dong reminded him, worried that his father might get drunk.
"I'm happy today, it's okay to drink a little more, I know my limits." Father Li responded to Li Dong with a smile.
Putting down the wine glass, Father Li continued, "For this, I almost ruined their good marriage. I shouldn't have done that."
"Xiaoying, uncle is here to apologize to you."
As Father Li spoke, he filled his glass, then raised it and pointed it towards Zhu Ying.
"Uncle, don't say that. I can't stand it." Seeing this, Zhu Ying immediately picked up the wine glass to return the gift.
"Xiaodong, hurry up and arrange a time to go get the marriage certificate with Xiaoying. It's your blessing to marry such a good girl."
After finishing the wine in the glass, Father Li turned around and gave instructions to Li Dongdao.
After hearing what Mr. Li said, everyone at the table laughed happily, especially Li Dong and Zhu Ying who laughed the happiest.
Three days later, Li Dong and Zhu Ying came to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Hubby, we're finally getting married!"
Coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhu Ying looked at the red book in his hand and said excitedly.
"Wife, I finally brought you home!" Li Dong was also excited.
They had agreed beforehand not to hold a wedding for the time being, and after getting the marriage certificate, they had a simple meal with their family.
After dinner, Li Dong and Zhu Ying returned to the wedding room prepared for them by Mu Yunzhu.
"Wife, we can finally be together legitimately tonight."
After taking a shower, Li Dong carried Zhu Ying to the bed. Looking at the delicate body under him, Li Dong said emotionally.
"We were together before, wasn't that legitimate?"
Zhu Ying was a little dissatisfied with Li Dong's wording. Before, one of them was unmarried and the other was single, and they were dating openly. How could it be that it was not legitimate now?
"That's not what I meant. I meant that now that we have obtained a marriage certificate, it is more legitimate for us to be together."
Seeing Zhu Ying raised his mouth, obviously unhappy, Li Dong hurriedly explained.
"So that's how it is. No wonder." Staring at Li Dong, Zhu Ying had an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"No wonder what?" Li Dong asked quickly, confused by what he said.
