Just as everyone was thinking about whether to buy new clothes for the Wang family, they were told that they had to go to propose marriage the next day. Fu Ning immediately complained, "I haven't even bought any new clothes yet, why do I have to go to propose marriage? Aunt Qian is really something, she didn't even tell us a few days in advance."
Jin Shen had heard Qian Gui mention some things about Wang Rui's family and knew that Wang Rui wanted to have a low-key wedding this time, so he said, "Why are you in such a hurry? This is just a marriage proposal, not a wedding. When you get married, just dress nicely, that'll be fine."
Fu Ning said, "How can they be the same?"
Jin Shen glanced at her and said, "What's the difference? You're not going to go with her to propose marriage, so what are you so smug about?"
Fu Ning was taken aback: "No, we're not here to propose marriage, so what are we here for? To play around?"
Jin Shen laughed angrily: "Didn't you come here to celebrate the New Year? So, in your heart, spending the New Year with me is not as important as Qian Gui's marriage proposal?"
Fu Ning was taken aback. She looked at the beautiful house and immediately smiled ingratiatingly, saying, "No, honey, of course spending the New Year with you is more important than anything else. This is nothing compared to you." Jin Shen was no longer the poor young man he had just married. Now he was handsome, rich, and powerful. She was just a rural woman with little experience. If she didn't win him over, what would she be able to do in the future? Wouldn't she be looked down upon and end up with nothing? Wouldn't that be a loss for her?
Jin Shen immediately saw through Fu Ning's thoughts. He knew that his wife had some shortcomings, but they were within his acceptable range. He had originally wanted his wife and children to stay, since a new primary school was going to be built here. The main investor was Wanmao Group, and the land also belonged to Wanmao Group. The teachers here would be college students recruited from various universities. The school would be a one-campus facility for students from kindergarten to high school. When Qian Duoduo was initially preparing for the school, there were some objections from them, since it might be a losing proposition.
However, Qian Duoduo only used one sentence: "It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person. Education must start from childhood. No matter how poor we are, we cannot be poor in education; no matter how hard life is, we cannot let our children suffer. Children are the future and hope of the country. Hope is placed on children. When the youth are strong, the country is strong; when the youth are prosperous, the country is prosperous. If a country wants to be strong and invincible, it must cultivate talents well. Only in this way can the country prosper and become strong. We must start from the next generation."
After hearing this, he felt quite excited, so he wholeheartedly agreed. However, they are currently selecting a site to build the school, and he doesn't know how the preparations are going.
When Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan arrived at Qian Xiang's villa, they saw that the Qian family members were all ready. Except for Qian Gui, who was dressed somewhat differently, the others were all dressed in very ordinary clothes. Qian Duoduo's Chanel-style outfit was rather unusual.
Seeing Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan like this, Jin Jinxiu immediately said, "You two should change your clothes quickly, this is quite different from what Xiao Rui said."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "No need, I won't go with you. I'm Wang Rui's boss, and the Wang family all know that. Wang Rui just doesn't want her family to use her as a blood bag and continue to bleed her dry. After they get married, I have more important things to entrust to them."
Qian Gui's eyes lit up when he heard this. He Ying looked at Qian Gui and snorted, saying, "The most important thing for you two is to have a child for me after you get married. I won't care where you two go after that, and of course I can't. I'll let Duo Duo take care of you. I think you two won't be able to escape Duo Duo's grasp."
Qian Duoduo couldn't help but smile wryly at He Ying's "My Duoduo is so amazing" expression, and said to He Ying, "Auntie, do you think he's that amazing?"
He Ying said with a smile, "Oh, Duo Duo, if these brothers misbehave, just cry to them, and they'll be scared stiff."
Hearing this, Qian Gui couldn't help but laugh out loud and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Mom, please don't come up with such bad ideas again! If our Duoduo really is like you say, crying for us every day, then we won't be able to do anything else, and we'll have to put in a lot of effort just to coax her!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly interjected, "Our Duoduo doesn't cry easily. She'll definitely be happy every day."
However, before he could finish speaking, Qian Xiang retorted without hesitation, "Come on, you're never home, what right do you have to say such things?"
These few words were like a sharp knife piercing Lu Yuan's heart, leaving him speechless. Lu Yuan silently lowered his head, then raised it again, glaring at Qian Xiang with a resentful look. He inwardly groaned: "Ugh, what a curse! All these brothers-in-law seem to be here specifically to torment me. Back then, Qian Feng, that brother-in-law, ruthlessly stabbed me many times; now, this brother-in-law has mercilessly stabbed me in the heart again—it hurts so much!"
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention wasn't on him, Lu Yuan quickly lowered his head, leaned close to Qian Duoduo's ear, and said pitifully, "Wife, my heart is aching terribly..."
Seeing his injured expression, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but chuckle and asked with interest, "Oh ho, what's wrong with you? It hurts!"
Lu Yuan held Qian Duoduo's little hand tightly and mumbled pitifully, "It's because my brother-in-law stabbed me with a knife, it really hurts so much!" As he spoke, he deliberately put on a pitiful posture.
Seeing his coquettish and adorable manner, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but chuckle. These past few days, Lu Yuan seemed to have taken to acting cute with her, something she had never seen before. She turned her head slightly and glanced at the Qian family members who were preparing to set off not far away. Then, she brought her lips close to Lu Yuan's ear and whispered, "How about this, we'll leave a few minutes later, and I'll give you a good massage when we get home, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's previously aggrieved expression vanished instantly, replaced by starlight-like eyes. Looking at Qian Duoduo, he was so excited he almost jumped up, nodding hurriedly and replying, "Really? That's great! But... could you rub it a little longer? I'm worried the wound will still hurt." After saying this, he looked at Qian Duoduo with expectant and pleading eyes, just like a little puppy waiting for its owner to feed it.
If Qian Duoduo hadn't already known he was a wolfhound, she really would have been fooled by that little expression! Seeing that everyone had already gone out, she immediately pulled Lu Yuan to follow them out. When she saw Hu Da and Zhang Tian standing at the door, she felt a little embarrassed and pulled Lu Yuan back. Then, when they passed Qian Gui, she said, "We'll be a little late."
Qian Gui nodded and drove away with his family.
