Jiang Li hadn't taken Lu's old lady's words to heart.
The old lady of the Lu family prepared a gift for her because she is Lu Shiyan's mother, so naturally she has to arrange some things for him.
Giving her so many things was partly due to the Lu family's etiquette, and partly to show how much they valued her.
But others...
There's no need to put in too much effort to prepare anything.
The Lu family members who returned home one after another learned about the couple's marriage registration from the housekeeper and Filipino maid before they even entered the house.
Goodness...
This is great news!
But when they realized they hadn't brought back any gifts, they hurriedly ran back to retrieve the gifts they had prepared earlier.
After all, they couldn't offer Jiang Li, their sister-in-law, just any ordinary gift.
It was either meticulously prepared, or prepared to please the recipient.
In short...
They prepared everything very carefully.
Because they already knew that Jiang Li would be Lu Shiyan's wife, they would collect anything they found that seemed suitable, since siblings like them would compete with each other.
It won't do if the gift I give is worse than what my other siblings receive.
Have some self-respect!
At this point, a competitive spirit is necessary.
After all, who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with such a wonderful sister-in-law?
He had to outshine everyone else and leave a deep impression on his sister-in-law.
then……
Jiang Li was bombarded with gifts for the first time ever.
Damn it...
Those gifts...
Even Jiang Li, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, couldn't help but panic.
Is this supposed to be a gift?
Did he really not give away all his family's wealth?
Real estate, jewelry, antiques, shops, shares...
There were so many things that Jiang Li was dazzled.
“This…” Jiang Li waved her hands repeatedly, declining, “These are all too valuable…”
Before Jiang Li could finish speaking, Lu Shiyan had already packed up all the things for her. "We really like these things, thank you everyone..."
That ingratiating look was truly unprecedented.
Where had the Lu brothers ever seen Lu Shiyan like this before?
Um……
I watched it once, and I want to watch it several more times.
But considering the cost of seeing it just once...
Everyone couldn't help but shrink back.
never mind……
Seeing it once in a lifetime is enough.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Shiyan had accepted all the gifts.
Originally, I thought I would ride ahead and leave everyone else behind.
But that's what everyone thinks...
So much so that even they themselves were dazzled by it.
But this is fine too...
No one tried to curry favor with Jiang Li, but no one felt that they had neglected their sister-in-law.
Jiang Li simply treats everyone equally.
That's enough, that's enough.
After giving out the gifts, the older siblings found another opportunity to start criticizing Lu Shiyan.
"It's all Lao Liu's fault. He handled such an important matter secretly without telling the family, catching everyone off guard."
“That’s right…” another person nodded in agreement. “I’ve never seen him do things like this before. If other people found out, wouldn’t they say our family has no manners?”
"Old Six has probably slept too long; his brain isn't working properly anymore, and he can't even do anything right..."
"..."
It was rare for Lu Shiyan to be scolded by his own older brothers and sisters.
The old lady of the Lu family was very happy to see this scene, and would occasionally add her own embellishments.
In any case, Lu Shiyan handled this matter poorly.
While the act of "luring" a wife home is commendable, other aspects...
Those who need to be taught a lesson still need to be taught a lesson.
At first, Lu Shiyan listened attentively to everyone criticizing him, but these people didn't know when to stop and instead became even more enthusiastic.
So he looked at everyone and said expressionlessly, "Since you all think I did a bad job, how about I go and change this red certificate to a green one with Jiang Jiang first? Once you've arranged everything and done all the formalities, then we can go get the certificate again?"
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" The old lady of the Lu family picked up her cane and tapped Lu Shiyan again. "Look at yourself! Just because Jiang Jiang was willing to be fooled by you once doesn't mean she'll be willing to be fooled by you a second time. Do you even want to have a wife? How dare you say such things!"
She's so angry!
Lu Shiyan looked completely innocent. "Isn't this all your lecturing? Now that things have come to this, no matter what you say, it won't change anything. All you can do is try to make amends later, right?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
That's right.
Seeing that brat's smug look, they wanted to give him a good beating.
How come Lao Liu, who has always been reliable and meticulous in everything he does since childhood, is so unreliable when it comes to his own marriage?
He was happy, but he didn't respect his wife at all.
If Jiang Li knew what they were thinking, she would definitely defend Lu Shiyan.
But since she didn't know what everyone was thinking, she could only let Lu Shiyan endure everyone's disapproving looks for now.
"Forget about that, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's figure out where to set up the wedding room, when to set the wedding date, which designer to find to make the wedding dress, and where to hold the wedding banquet..." The fourth son of the Lu family felt like he was going to be busy to death just thinking about all the wedding procedures.
"And then there are the wedding photos... We can't forget the wedding photos. What style do you want? Which photography team do you want? What dresses do you want to order? All of that needs to be scheduled..."
The ladies of the Lu family immediately began to discuss it.
Jiang Li's head started spinning just listening to them talk about those things.
She turned to look at Lu Shiyan, and asked with a look of utter despair, "Are the things they mentioned things that we have to go through?"
Lu Shiyan nodded solemnly, "Yes, this is just the basics."
Jiang Li: "..."
Kill her.
She's starting to regret it.
I regret telling you I was getting married.
Thinking about it, Jiang Li couldn't help but glare at Lu Shiyan again.
It's all his fault. If he hadn't been so quick to speak and blurted it out, they might have been able to keep it a secret.
Lu Shiyan seemed to have seen through Jiang Li's thoughts, and he said coolly, "Even if we don't confess today and they don't know about the marriage, they will find out one day. Once they find out, these procedures will be unavoidable."
Moreover, the later they find out, the worse their situation will be.
so……
Being honest when registering the marriage is a relatively friendly thing for Lu Shiyan.
Otherwise, his family would know he's been married for a long time, but he hasn't given his wife a proper status...
He estimated that he was going to get a good beating from everyone in his family.
At that point, they'll really go all out.
Jiang Li: "..."
Okay.
Now that things have come to this, what else can she do?
Thinking this way, Jiang Li still couldn't help but want to struggle a bit. She asked, "Do you think things would be better if we ran away now?"
"Then we'll probably be wanted by the whole world..."
Jiang Li: "..."
Well then, let's just accept reality.
