Chapter 1 Getting the Certificate
[See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 3:30 pm]
When Yu Nian received this text message, he had just finished a meeting and was sorting out documents. There has been a lot of work at the company recently and he has been working overtime for half a month.
Yu Nian looked up from the documents, took out his phone and leaned back in his chair, looking at the message from Ji Yanxing, pondered for two minutes, and replied with one word. [OK]
After replying to the message, Ms. He also sent a message. [Niannian, have you really thought about it? ]
Opening the chat box with Ms. He, Yu Nian replied, "Well, I have some work to deal with in the morning, so I made an appointment in the afternoon."
Ms. He's dissatisfaction can be seen between the lines: [Can this job compare to your lifelong event? Do you know that you are going to get a marriage certificate, not a work certificate?]
Yu Nian looked at the phone screen helplessly.
We had originally agreed to get the certificate in the morning, but Ji Yanxing had a meeting in the morning and couldn't spare the time to get the certificate.
It just so happened that Yu Nian had some work to take care of in the morning, so she changed her plan to get the certificate in the afternoon.
During the time she didn't reply, Ms. He sent several more text messages.
[Niannian, tell me the truth, do you really want to get married with Ji Yanxing? If you don't want to, you still have a chance to regret it before you get married. I will go to find the old man with your dad right now.]
[You should carefully consider your own lifelong affairs, don't put yourself in a difficult position, and besides, our family is not short of money, so there is no need to sacrifice your happiness.]
[Your grandfather is such a fool. There are many young masters from wealthy families in City B, but he insisted on having you marry far away in City A. It takes you half a day to go home! ]
He Manlian disagreed with Mr. Yu's plan to marry into the Ji family from the very beginning.
The Ji family is in City A and the Yu family is in City B. Although the two places are not far apart, the drive only takes three or four hours, but in Ms. He's mind, if Yu Nian does not stay in City B, it would be considered marrying far away.
Besides, the economic development level of City B is not low. Even if the Ji family has the best conditions among the possible options for marriage, it is not impossible to find a family of equal status in City B.
Just for the sake of the friendship agreement of the older generation, she wanted to use her daughter to repay it. He Manlian refused to agree at first. If Yu Nian had not nodded, she would not let her daughter marry him even if she had to break up with the old man.
As for a noble family like the Ji family, He Manlian was deeply afraid that her daughter would be wronged if she married into that family.
No matter what, Yu Nian is the apple of the Yu family's eye and has never suffered any grievances since she was a child.
Yu Nian looked at the text message her mother sent and replied: [Mom, don’t worry. I’m not unhappy, nor do I feel wronged.]
Ms. He: [Think it over carefully. Once you get married, it will be difficult to get a divorce.]
Yu Nian stared at the words for a few seconds and replied: [I understand.]
After taking back her phone, Yu Nian continued to deal with the work at hand. She is currently a trainee lawyer and there is only half a month left in her one-year internship. The supervising lawyer has recently received several legal aid tasks, and under the pretext of training her, these unprofitable cases are thrown to her to handle.
After reading several cases of domestic violence and cheating, Yu Nian felt a headache. She glanced at the lower right corner of her computer. It was almost time for her appointment with Ji Yanxing, so she saved the file and took out her lipstick from her bag.
"Do you have a date later?" Qiao Siyun, who was from the same team, came out of the bathroom and asked casually when he saw Yu Nian reapplying her lipstick.
"No."
Qiao Siyun narrowed her eyes and said, "Something's wrong. It's so wrong. If you're not going on a date, why are you dressed so beautifully today?"
What she meant was not that Yu Nian was not beautiful. On the contrary, Yu Nian was really beautiful, with skin as white as snow and a slender figure, which was inconsistent with her cold personality. She looked gentle and her facial features were soft and not sharp. At first glance, she would be mistaken for a good wife and mother, which formed a contradictory contrast with her cold and capable temperament.
It’s just that Yu Nian seldom dresses up. She usually wears simple light makeup and professional suits. But today, both her makeup and hairstyle are more refined than usual.
Yu Nian used the black screen of her computer to touch up her lipstick, a faint smile appeared in her usually calm eyes, "Because we are going to take wedding photos later."
"What? Wedding photos!!"
Qiao Siyun looked at her in disbelief, "You're getting married today?"
Yu Nian curved his lips and smiled: "Yes."
Qiao Siyun was a little confused by this news: "I haven't heard you mention having a boyfriend, why do you suddenly want to get married?"
Yu Nian didn't say much, "My family arranged it."
"You listen to your family so much."
"I felt that all aspects were suitable, so I decided on it."
Just another plastic couple who can’t stand the nagging of the world.
Qiao Siyun sighed: "Okay, my parents have been urging me, but I will resist firmly and never give in to the feudal evil forces."
Yu Nian put away her lipstick and said, "I told the team leader this morning that I would leave early. I'm leaving now."
Yu Nian turned off the computer and packed her bag.
In her heart, Qiao Siyun mourned for her hasty entry into the grave of marriage, and said insincere congratulations, "Happy wedding."
But how can you be happy if you marry someone you don't love?
Yu Nian pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you."
-
Yu Nian and Ji Yanxing agreed to meet at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at 3:30. When she left, Ji Yanxing had just finished his meeting and was ready to leave.
Jiang Yichen saw him getting up to leave, and hurriedly shouted: "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished talking yet!"
Ji Yanxing ignored him, picked up his suit jacket and put it on his arm, and pursed his lips: "Hurry up and get the certificate."
"Get the certificate?!"
Jiang Yichen was shocked for three seconds before reacting, "The one from the Yu family?"
"Um."
Jiang Yichen naturally knew that Ji Yanxing had been on a blind date recently. But he didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Yu family was Ji Yanxing's first blind date, and this arrogant young master actually chose her directly.
"No, you two have only met a few times and you're getting married, how can you be any more hasty? Why don't you pick a few more? Is it because Miss Yu is so beautiful?"
Jiang Yichen kept on rambling, "But you have seen beauties who look like angels before... As for the Yu family, although the foundation is solid, the head of this generation is not good at doing business. If it weren't for Mr. Yu's support, the Yu family would have collapsed long ago. What do you like about the eldest daughter of the Yu family?"
What do you like about her?
Ji Yanxing recalled the scene on the day of the blind date. She was wearing an exquisite professional suit and habitually had a faint smile on her face. The first impression she gave was that she was elegant and dignified. She didn't seem to be here for a blind date, but rather to discuss cooperation.
When this thought came to his mind, he pulled his lips meaninglessly. Wasn't his blind date with her a collaboration?
It didn't matter to him who his wife was. She seemed smart enough, her looks suited his taste, she was gentle, sensible and decent. She could understand the nature of this marriage, knew what to do in different occasions, and she wouldn't act capriciously or throw a tantrum like a child.
