Chapter 788 Get it done quickly
Guo Yu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Shen Xing and the others entered the elevator one after another. Turning around, Shen Xing looked at Guo Yu and said, "Take some time to improve the team's overall strength. Don't forget your original intention in forming the team. With your current technical strength, to be frank, you don't even have the qualifications to fight against us."
Guo Yu didn't have time to refute before the elevator doors closed.
Bai Lianghe composed himself and looked at Shen Xing with a serious expression: "We really need to hurry."
Shen Xing nodded calmly; he naturally knew what was going on.

That evening, Jiang Yuanliang returned to "Qingyu Manor".
Unlike last time, this time it was the old man who asked him to come back.
The meeting ended badly, but more than a month has passed, and Jiang Yuanliang has not mentioned it again, nor has he asked the old man any questions. Instead, he waits patiently.
He knew his father needed time.
Jiang Yuanmao's family and his third son, Jiang Yuanyu, also returned.
The presence of everyone made the occasion more formal, and as soon as Jiang Yuanliang got out of the car, Jiang Yuanmao pulled him aside.
"I reckon there will be a result tonight. I asked Uncle Feng, and he said the old man didn't reveal anything, and nobody knows what he's thinking."
The older brother seemed to care even more than I did.
Jiang Yuanliang remained calm and composed, saying only, "The outcome is the same for me. Even if Dad doesn't agree, I won't separate from Jingjing."
"If you don't agree, we'll think of other ways. There are always more solutions than problems."
Jiang Yuanliang nodded and followed his older brother into the villa.
"Dad, everyone's here, please take a seat." Wen Shuyi stepped forward to greet him, giving her son a meaningful look.
Jiang Cheng quickly got up to help him, saying, "Come on, Grandpa, dinner's ready."
The old man didn't even look at Jiang Yuanliang, clearly still angry with him. The more this was the case, the more the group felt that today's matter was probably hopeless.
Once at the dinner table, it was Wen Shuyi who spoke first: "It's rare for everyone to be here today, Dad, shall we have a drink with you?"
"Um."
The old man didn't refuse, and responded with a low, rumbling sound.
Wen Shuyi hurriedly instructed Uncle Feng: "Uncle Feng, please go and get a bottle of Lao Jiao liquor, 65 degrees."
The old man didn't like drinking it if the alcohol content was too low, saying it tasted like water.
When the wine arrived, Jiang Cheng, the youngest member of the family at the table, got up to pour it. Wen Shuyi looked at her son with a gentle smile and nodded slightly, as if giving him a signal.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng understood immediately and raised his wine glass to the old man: "Grandpa, this is the first glass of wine I'm offering to you today. I have some very good news to tell you."
Jiang Cheng is the family's treasure. The old man dotes on him, and Jiang Yuanliang also values him, grooming him as the future heir of the group.
"Hmm?" The old man raised an eyebrow, finally showing a hint of a smile: "What good news? Tell Grandpa."
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and said, "Tian Tian is pregnant."
"Really?" The old man's eyes lit up with joy, and he spoke in his loudest voice of the evening: "When did this happen?"
"It was discovered last week."
"Oh my, my great-grandson..." The old man was overjoyed; he loved children.
“Dad, you’ll soon have four generations under one roof, what a blessing!” Jiang Yuanmao said.
The old man held up his wine glass, his hands trembling with joy: "Four generations under one roof, four generations under one roof, come on, grandson, let me drink this glass of wine with you alone."
Jiang Cheng immediately dropped such great news, instantly putting the atmosphere in a pleasant and relaxed mood.
Wen Shuyi came prepared, knowing that the old man was still angry with the second son, so she deliberately waited until today to tell him, thinking that if the old man did not agree, there might still be room for negotiation by taking advantage of his good mood.
Then everyone toasted the old man together.
After drinking those two glasses of wine, the old man not only felt warm in his body, but also in his heart.
"I called you all back today because there's something I need to say." The old man was indeed affected; his tone was noticeably more relaxed. He glanced at Jiang Yuanliang before saying, "It's about the second son."
Jiang Yuanliang was prepared and nodded slightly: "Dad, please speak."
Everyone else fell silent and looked at the old man.
As a result, the old man got stuck and sat there for a long time without being able to say a word.
It wasn't that he didn't know what to say, it was just that saying it was extremely difficult for him.
After hesitating for a while, he forced himself to speak: "You'd better get your matter settled as soon as possible..."
This revelation startled everyone at the table, their eyes widening in astonishment. No one had expected the old man to be...
"Dad, you agree?" Jiang Yuanmao quickly asked to confirm after regaining his senses.
Jiang Yuanliang and Wen Shuyi exchanged a glance, both somewhat incredulous.
The old man gave a bitter laugh and snorted coldly: "Do you think I have a say in this? You, as the eldest brother, agree, your sister-in-law agrees, and even Master Yu has been brought up. What use are my words?"
"I can't afford to waste time." The old man took a sip of wine and said, "It doesn't matter if I can't afford to waste time, others can't afford to waste time either."
He looked at Jiang Yuanliang and said, "Second brother, if you're determined, then so be it. I can't hold you back, and I can't hold her back either. She's already a few years older than you. If I delay for another three or five years, she might really be unable to have the child."
So when the old man said "get it done quickly," he meant that the two of them should settle things as soon as possible and have children while they are still able to.
"Thank you, Dad." Jiang Yuanliang quickly calmed down, his heart filled with gratitude. "Then I'll find some time to bring her back to see you."
The old man sighed and silently agreed, but he was still not entirely happy about it.
The tension in everyone's hearts immediately eased. No matter what, it was good news, and those people's efforts had not been in vain.
After dinner, Wen Shuyi said to Jiang Yuanliang, "Dad's idea is that you should get down to business as soon as possible. He's right. Whether or not to have children is another matter. You're not young anymore, so you can get married first."
Jiang Yuanliang nodded: "But I have no experience in this area. Should I propose to you?"
"Of course!" Wen Shuyi said, "We still need to have a sense of ceremony. This is not only your first marriage, but also Jingjing's first marriage. You should take it seriously and give her an unforgettable proposal and wedding."
"There's also a wedding house. It doesn't matter if you live there or not, but you have to have one. It should be registered in Jingjing's name only, as a gift from our family to her. You two can discuss the bride price and dowry. Anyway, Dad won't interfere with the money."
Jiang Yuanliang nodded, his handsome face slightly flushed.
Seeing this, Wen Shuyi asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Getting nervous?"
"No..." Jiang Yuanliang smiled, "I'm a little excited. I don't even know how to tell her the news."
"Sister-in-law, I really owe you and my brother a lot this time. Thank you so much for your understanding and support. Otherwise, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy for me on my own."
Wen Shuyi said, "This is not easy either. Since it is hard-won, we should cherish it even more. Jingjing is very good. She has suffered a lot in the first half of her life. You should treat her well and take good care of her in the future."
