Chapter 186 Choosing a Date for the Wedding
Su Wanwan's maternal grandfather's family lived in a first-tier city in the south, which was quite close to the port city.
When I went to visit my maternal grandfather, everyone in the family was there.
Xie Yanning brought generous gifts to the door.
Even Su Wanwan felt that the gift was a bit too much. She said, "If I had more relatives, you would go bankrupt."
Xie Yanning said, "It's never wrong to be overly polite, as long as your family accepts and likes me."
Zhong Wanli sized up Xie Yanning and nodded secretly; she was a good match for his granddaughter.
Even though Xie Yanning doesn't show up often, the Zhong family also has businesses overseas, all located in the same business district, and they've heard of Xie Yanning to some extent.
They even knew about his dealings with the Li family.
No, what kind of people are they? Didn't they see that her sister and her boyfriend are already inseparable, and even a category 10 typhoon couldn't break them apart?
Don't they even look at themselves? How can they compare to their precious little sister?
Both the Su and Zhong families are large and prosperous, but they have mostly had boys. Apart from her older cousin, Su Wanwan is the only daughter of a wealthy family, so you can imagine how much she is pampered.
What Su Wanwan likes is what the Su family and the Zhong family like.
This is especially true after meeting the person.
Xie Yanning possesses a certain personal charm; he has exceptional insight and eloquence, and is also outstanding in appearance, which quickly won him the favor of the Zhong family.
“Isn’t it just about the Li family’s affairs?” Zhong Shangchuan said. “We can help with that too.”
Su Wanwan: "What business does the Li family have?"
"Someone's trying to steal your man, and you don't know?"
“…There are plenty of people who like him, I can’t possibly control that,” Su Wanwan said.
"..." That's true. Outstanding people always attract more attention, regardless of their own qualities; they just naturally draw admiration. Thinking about Su Wanwan's many suitors, she certainly has quite a few.
Zhong Shangchuan remained silent for a while.
Years ago, a friend of his visited Su Wanwan's home and desperately wanted her contact information, but Zhong Shangchuan forcefully suppressed him.
Just as he had thought at the time, none of his brothers were a good match for Su Wanwan.
Xie Yanning is alright.
Xie Yanning originally intended to explain things to the Li family himself, but he didn't expect the Zhong family to step in. "Then thank you, cousin," he said, echoing Su Wanwan.
Tsk, I don't really like it anymore.
A beautiful young woman was taken advantage of, and I'm not happy about it.
Li Jingsheng was already somewhat disapproving of Li Sining's actions, and now that the Zhong family had intervened, he was even more opposed to them.
Li Sining's success is solely due to her father's doting on her. Now that Li Jingsheng disapproves, there's nothing Li Sining can do.
Xie Yanning's company business is no longer hindered and is progressing relatively quickly.
Li Sining finally gave up because she saw Xie Yanning gently pull the sleepy Su Wanwan into his arms on a very ordinary afternoon.
It was an ordinary thing, but at that moment she realized with bitterness that she might not like Xie Yanning that much, but rather she liked the way Xie Yanning loved people.
After spending a day at her maternal grandfather's house, Xie Yanning and Su Wanwan returned to their parents' house.
It's very close; I can drive back.
As soon as Zhong Qian saw him, she hugged him tightly, saying with heartache, "You've been wronged."
Su Wanwan thought for a moment, "At first, he was quite wronged, but he made up for it all." In fact, Fu Ming'en paid a greater price, but he had only himself to blame, and she wouldn't feel sorry for him.
Su Wanwan is usually pampered when she comes home, let alone when he has suffered such a great injustice, she would want to hold him in the palm of her hand.
Su Shili said, "If anyone dares to bully my family, I'll teach them a lesson about how to write the character 'Su'."
"I've already asked my friends over there to avoid using this person if possible. What kind of person is he!" Su Shili was rarely angry. How dare he slander Su Wanwan like this. He was just out of the country at the time, otherwise he would have rushed over immediately.
"She probably won't be able to return to the front line," Xie Yanning said.
Su Shili complained a couple of times, then turned to Xie Yanning and started talking about other things.
That evening, Su Wanwan hugged Zhong Qian and said sweetly, "Mom, we're planning to get married."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Qian was both happy and somewhat reluctant.
"You can decide for yourselves."
The Su family did not object to the marriage.
At the same time, I felt that since the two of them got married early, they could rest easy and put an end to any other people's hopes.
With the Su family's consent, the Xie and Su families sat down together for the first time to formally discuss the marriage between their families.
Both families wanted what was best for their children, and they quickly agreed on some wedding customs.
Xie Yanning recalled that when she reunited with Su Wanwan, it was when she heard her talk about betrothal gifts.
"Back then you said the bride price was 99,999,000, and that your family's custom was not to give away dowry."
Su Wanwan didn't expect Xie Yanning to still remember this. "Can you please not mention it?"
"No, I'm just telling you that this custom is acceptable."
Xie Yanning's final dowry was over 900 million yuan, chosen for its auspicious meaning of longevity, and all of it became Su Wanwan's personal property. As for houses, they were all near their workplaces, and they didn't buy any more.
Xie Yanning added both of their names.
Two names are listed side by side on the property certificate.
Xie Yanning was very satisfied with this.
Su Wanwan's family was indeed not poor, not to mention her maternal grandfather's family, but such a large dowry was truly rare.
"Aren't you afraid I'll abscond with the money if you just give it to me like this?" Su Wanwan said, "I'm really afraid you'll be scammed."
"..." Xie Yanning: "You gave it, so you gave it. But do you mean you're going to run away?"
Su Wanwan immediately hugged him tightly, "How could that be?"
"I just feel like it's not real, we're actually getting married."
Xie Yanning put his arm around her waist and said, "We'll be fine."
After everything was agreed upon, all that was left was the wedding.
According to both families, they would each hold a banquet.
The wedding was handled by a professional planning company; the couple only needed to offer suggestions.
Now they are faced with the situation that the wedding date has been set, but they haven't registered their marriage yet.
Her family is quite superstitious about feng shui, so the wedding date was carefully chosen, and the date for registering the marriage also had to match the couple's birth dates and times.
Therefore, Zhong Qian even went out of her way to ask for a specific date.
One week before the wedding.
Su Wanwan was fine, but Xie Yanning was in a hurry. He even specially ordered an alarm clock and made a reservation online in advance.
“Hmm… with such a low marriage rate these days, there’s really no need to make an appointment,” Su Wanwan said.
These days, even on dates like May 20th, marriage registration offices are practically deserted, let alone on weekdays, which are just so-so according to the Gregorian calendar.
"What if?" Xie Yanning said.
Su Wanwan rarely saw Xie Yanning like this, and joked, "Then Professor Xie must remember this well, my mother said that day is the only auspicious day for us to get our marriage certificate today."
"Yes, I'll remember, don't worry," Xie Yanning said earnestly.
"..." No, Professor Xie, do you have some kind of premarital syndrome?
