Chapter 364 Engagement List
After the engagement ceremony, the elders stayed to drink tea together.
Ye Jinmo and Ji Sichen are in the greenhouse garden.
The Ji family has a very large greenhouse, which houses many rare flowers.
Every time she comes to Ji's house, she likes to come here.
“My goodness, are you saying that Meng Shanshan was rescued by Zhong Bochuan?”
She nodded, feeling puzzled: "But yesterday, the bureau called my brother and said Meng Shanshan has been very well behaved recently."
Ji Sichen narrowed his eyes dangerously and called Secretary Li.
"Investigate Meng Shanshan's whereabouts."
"yes."
Here comes the Ji family’s housekeeper.
"Miss Ye, Young Master, the old lady wants you two to come over for a moment."
lobby.
Old Mrs. Ji asked Ye Jinmo to sit over.
"Jinmo, you haven't come to see grandma for a while. Have you forgotten about her?"
The girl pouted and said coquettishly, "No way, I miss my grandma every day."
"Okay, okay." The old lady couldn't stop smiling.
"It just so happens that your grandfather, your parents, and your brothers are all here today. I have drawn up an engagement menu. Please see if it is suitable."
The butler brought over a red scroll, untied the rope, and opened the scroll. The densely packed words showed how important it was.
Ye Jinmo was also a little surprised: "Grandma Ji, what is this?"
"Achen has told me that you have already agreed to his proposal. Our two families already have an engagement, so grandma naturally cannot treat our Jinmo badly. This is just a draft. Let's see if there is anything missing, and I'll have someone fill it in."
Mother Zhong and Father Zhong looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
The Zhong family has never lacked for material things, but they are very satisfied with the attitude of valuing them.
Elder Zhong just glanced at them briefly and said with a smile, "There's nothing missing. The two children are in love with each other. As long as they live well, we are all old now, so anything is fine."
"That's right. I asked someone to check the engagement date. Next year's Jinmo's birthday will be an auspicious date." Old Madam Ji pointed to the red paper sent by the housekeeper, which had several dates written on it.
The most recent one was before the New Year, in November.
"After the engagement, Jinmo will continue to go to school. As for marriage, we will see what the children think when the time comes."
Ye Jinmo was sitting beside him, her ears turning red and her heart pounding.
The two elders sat down to discuss her marriage with Ji Sichen. It felt so wonderful!
Her little expression caught the man's attention. Ji Sichen smiled and sat down, put his hands around her waist, and interlocked his fingers with hers with his other hand.
"I'll listen to Jinmo's decision on the wedding date. We're going to get engaged first."
Old Zhong pointed to the date on the paper and said, "How about next year's Jinmo's birthday? It will be a double happiness. It will be more meaningful if the couple celebrates their anniversary in the future."
"good."
Madam Ji smiled and said, "Then I will prepare the engagement gift and send it to the Zhong family as soon as possible."
At this time, Ji Siman and Ji Mingkang walked in.
The people who were originally chatting enthusiastically became more restrained.
Ji Siman glanced at the gift list on the coffee table, jealousy flashing in his eyes.
"Grandma, is this the engagement invitation for Jinmo?"
Madam Ji raised her hand and asked the housekeeper to put it away.
The old man agreed.
She was a little jealous.
What the old lady gave her during this engagement was nothing compared to these.
However, for Ye Jinmo's engagement, the gift list was so long that it couldn't even fit on the coffee table. There were so many words on it that you didn't even need to count them, as it was an astronomical figure.
Ji Mingkang was also a little unhappy: "Mom, it's just an engagement, why is it so grand?"
Old Madam Ji glanced at the father and daughter and said, "Si Chen is the eldest grandson of my Ji family and the head of the Ji family. If his engagement ceremony is hasty, wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders?"
"Besides," she turned around and took Ye Jinmo's hand, smiling lovingly, "We in the Ji family must never treat Jinmo unfairly."
The naked attention and preference made Ji Siman jealous.
Today was supposed to be her engagement day, but her husband was calling another woman, and as for the engagement gift, it was just some ordinary stuff.
It was Chi Yan who suggested giving some symbolic amount.
For the sake of the Zhong family's reputation, Mr. Zhong bought a few more pieces so as not to embarrass everyone.
Ji Mingkang sneered: "Mom, aren't you a little biased?"
Ji Siman noticed that the old lady looked unhappy, and hurriedly grabbed his father, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
"Biased?" Old Mrs. Ji raised her head and looked at them with interest.
"Isn't it? Mom, Si Man is your granddaughter and the daughter of the Ji family. The engagement gift is too shabby."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the old lady, but also Mr. Zhong changed his expression.
"Are you blaming our Zhong family for not paying enough attention to Si Man?"
Mr. Zhong looked at him coldly.
Ji Mingkang didn't say anything. The things given by the Zhong family were indeed a lot, but compared with the list given by the old lady, there was no comparison.
Elder Zhong continued, "Whether it's Jinmo, Shaoqing, or Bochuan, I give the same things to all three children. The rest of the purchases are up to the parents of each room to decide."
Ji Mingkang gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that this was a satire on the powerless in-laws of his daughter's marriage!
Old Madam Ji also said, "I paid for everything for Si Man's engagement. As a father, you didn't pay a penny."
She knew what kind of person her son was.
Ji Mingkang touched his nose and glanced away guiltily.
He didn't have any valuable money to give to his daughter. He was still waiting for Ji Siman to get married so that he could cooperate with Zhong Bochuan to get the property of both families.
"Si Man, you know very well how your grandma treats you. The elders of the Zhong family are all here. Your father has drunk too much, so you should help him go downstairs to rest."
Ji Siman was afraid of the old lady, so he nodded quickly and helped Ji Mingkang leave.
It was true that the old lady had never treated her badly.
This time when she got engaged, the real estate and jewelry she gave as gifts amounted to tens of billions.
She hasn't been able to show her filial piety in front of others for so many years, so the old lady has already given her face by giving so much.
She is naturally incomparable to Ji Sichen.
In the old lady's heart, the eldest grandson always matters the most.
Return to the room.
She let go.
"Dad, please take a rest."
Ji Mingkang was so disappointed: "You, I was about to ask your grandmother for more money, why did you back off at the last minute?"
"Dad, you should know the occasion when you want something. Didn't you see that Mr. Zhong is here too? Do you want to offend him?"
She crossed her arms and looked cold, "Zhong Bochuan's mother didn't give me much. The second wife was never valued. We envy her but we need to know what to say and what not to say. Zhong Bochuan and I are married. We work hard together. Am I afraid that we won't get more money? What's the point of fighting for this moment?"
Ji Mingkang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long while, he sighed.
"Dad is also afraid that you will be wronged..."
"If you're afraid that I'll be wronged, transfer half of your property to me!"
Ji Mingkang was angry: "What? You are plotting against your father? You want my property? Dream on! I still need to take care of myself in my old age. If you have the ability, go and earn it yourself!"
