The Shen family learned their lesson this time. Seeing that Qiuqiu really wouldn't tolerate them, they quickly dealt with their businesses and left.
Qiuqiu did this because his wedding with Xiaoxue was approaching, and he didn't want them to bother them then. This outcome was the best possible result.
"Xiaoxue, our wedding is just around the corner. You should meet my family during this time. I have several older brothers, but they are usually very busy with work, so we rarely have time to see them."
“But this time I’m getting married, and they’ve all come back,” Qiuqiu said.
"Okay, but I'm a little nervous about meeting so many of your relatives."
"It's okay, I'm here. My mom is the one who calls the shots in this family. She approves of you now, so no one can make things difficult for you."
"To be honest, I'm a little nervous too. I don't know what to do."
“The wives of your brothers are definitely from better families than me.”
"You've misunderstood, Xiaoxue. My brothers all dated on their own, and my parents didn't interfere at all. But my brothers aren't simple people, they really are."
“We’ve had a very good relationship since we were little. If other families had as many businesses as ours, they would have been fighting over it long ago. But that’s not the case in our family yet.”
"You've met my parents. They're very open-minded people. They don't have that kind of thinking. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything in this family."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
A week before the wedding, Qiuqiu took Xiaoxue to meet her older brothers.
"Oh my, isn't this our Qiuqiu? We were just talking about you. We all came back for your wedding. It's really not easy for us," Youcai said.
"Brother, there are so many people here, can you please not call me by my nickname?" she said, rolling her eyes at him.
"Heh, back when I got married, Qiuqiu, you still called me by my nickname Tiedan. This time, we're getting our revenge."
Everyone laughed, even though the brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time due to their careers and development.
But our relationship is still as good as it was when we were kids; nothing has changed.
"Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Shen Qinxue. We're getting married in a few days, so you older brothers should prepare lots of gifts for me."
“You’ve taken over Mom’s tech company now, so stop pretending all the time.”
"Third Brother, you're wrong about that. My money is used, haha."
Everyone could tell he was doing it on purpose, and they burst into laughter, feeling a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection), realizing that no matter what, the brothers were still the same as when they were children.
"Where's Fu Bao? Why hasn't she arrived yet? We've all seen the six of us brothers, and she's the only one missing."
"Maybe something's wrong. Where are my nephews and the others? I haven't seen any of them in the house," Qiuqiu asked.
“They’re all upstairs. Mom is absolutely ecstatic to see all her grandchildren,” Cheng Cai said.
"Of course, we've all fallen out of favor now. No sons are as beloved by our parents as their grandchildren," Youcai remarked.
“This is also a family banquet. We’re all waiting for your wedding to end before we leave,” Tiedan said.
“Tiedan, out of all of us brothers, it’s too difficult to see you now that you’re abroad,” Youcai said.
"Second brother, I already have three children, so please don't call me Tiedan in front of them."
"Okay, okay, we won't say it in front of them. It's just the few of us, everyone knows each other's nicknames, really."
“What are you all talking about? Mom and Dad are upstairs. Come up here,” Xia Ying said.
“Okay, sister-in-law, let’s go upstairs right away,” Qiuqiu called out.
"Xiaoxue, let me introduce you. This is my eldest sister-in-law, and this is my second sister-in-law..." Qiuqiu said.
"Hello, sisters-in-law, I am Shen Qinxue."
“The name is lovely, and the person is beautiful,” Wang Min said.
“All of our daughters-in-law are beautiful and outstanding,” Tingting said.
Looking at the room full of children, Shen Qinxue was also shocked.
"Xiaoxue seems quite surprised. Our family is so large! The whole house is full of our mother's grandchildren. We can't keep up with them all today. We love them all," the sister-in-law said.
"That's quite a lot. More than 10 children. It's no wonder Xiaoxue is surprised."
"Xiaoxue, you should hurry up after you and Qiuqiu get married," Wang Min said.
"Yes, I understand, sister-in-law," Shen Qinxue said shyly.
"Oh, Xiaomin, don't say these things, it's too stressful," the sister-in-law said.
The room was very noisy with everyone talking at once.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively here. I'm late today," Fu Bao said.
"Fu Bao, everyone's here now, except for you and your brother-in-law. Why are you in such a rush?"
"Sister-in-law, I was delayed because of something. Now that I'm done, please don't hold it against me," Fu Bao said.
"Alright, now that our family is all here, let's start eating," Tingting said.
Looking at the room full of her grandchildren, and with them talking non-stop, Tingting felt overwhelmed.
"Hurry up and come downstairs, everyone take your seats. Don't make a ruckus upstairs."
"Mom thinks we're too noisy. Okay, let's go downstairs," Qiuqiu said playfully.
"You brat, I should have kicked you!" Tingting said helplessly.
After everyone was seated, Tingting took out a bottle of wine that she had been collecting for a long time. It was 60 years old, which was quite old, and it had been more than 30 years since then.
"Wow, this wine is over 30 years old. I'm going to have to savor it properly today. My mom really has a lot of good stuff," Wei Dong exclaimed.
