Chapter 276 Recognition
"Also." Madam Xiao looked at the Chen family and said sincerely, "Their marriage is entirely up to you. Just ask for the betrothal gifts."
Old Madam Xiao sold out Xiao Jinlin with just a few words.
The posture was so perfect that Zhao Dongling couldn't find any fault with it.
She held Chen Xinyue's face with a smile, "Listen, your grandmother Xiao has said it all, just say whatever you like!"
Chen Xinyue smiled shyly and said nothing.
Zhao Dongling rolled her eyes and continued, "That's right, your family is not short of money, not to mention your godfather. Every year he wants to give you money, but you always refuse it. I'm not a money-loving person, so let Mr. and Mrs. Xiao decide. How about that?"
The two of them nodded quickly and were about to go back to discuss it.
Before leaving, he invited Lin Qin's family to have dinner with him.
Zhao Dongling quickly stopped them, "Not today, they are here to have dinner with me, let's do it another day."
Since Zhao Dongling interrupted the matter from such a distance, the matter had to be dropped.
As soon as the old couple of the Xiao family left, Zhao Dongling was immediately happy. She took Lin Qin's hand and whispered to them, "You know what, the Xiao family is indeed a good family. I just said that on purpose to let them know that Xinyue also has a backer, so that they will pay more attention to this marriage."
Then Zhao Dongling told the Xiao family's secrets in detail.
Only then did Lin Yi know that the ancestors of the Xiao family had all fought in battles, especially Old Man Xiao, who had participated in several major battles and was an absolute hero in defending his country.
Before, he was not very happy about his granddaughter marrying so far away, but now he has put his mind at ease. For one thing, the descendants raised by a family that serves the country and the people will definitely not have any major problems. Besides, it would be an honor for him to have his granddaughter marry into such a family.
To put it bluntly, the family backgrounds of my granddaughters' children in the future will be different from those of ordinary people.
After careful consideration, Lin Yi's attitude towards this marriage gradually changed.
He could think of all this, so Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin had naturally considered it a long time ago. Now that the Gao family was willing to support them, they just had to wait and see the attitude of the Xiao family.
At the same time, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao returned home and called Xiao Bai and Mu Qinglian over immediately.
According to convention, the old man and the old lady would not call them unless there was a special situation. Now that they called both of them, something big must have happened.
The two men entered the old house with solemn expressions.
Seeing the old couple sitting there drinking tea, I hurried over, not daring to breathe.
"Dad, Mom!"
Xiao Bai called out cautiously, and Mu Qinglian also called for help.
The old couple looked sullen and were unwilling to look at them directly.
Xiao Bai was anxious. He sat down carefully. He felt like sweating in the cold weather. "Dad, Mom! Is there something we did wrong? Just tell us, we will definitely change it!"
Mr. Xiao put down the teacup heavily and asked expressionlessly, "How long has it been since you last contacted Jinlin?"
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment and looked at Mu Qinglian.
Mu Qinglian's heart tightened, and she quickly apologized with a smile, "Dad, because the eldest brother's wife offended Miss Chen, Jinlin has always been dissatisfied with his eldest brother and his wife. Every time he called, he was very aggressive and said something bad about the eldest brother's wife. You also know that the eldest brother's wife is pregnant. I was afraid that the brothers really broke up, so I didn't dare to contact him again."
Mr. Xiao smiled sarcastically and said nothing.
Anyone with eyes could see that he was angry.
Xiao Bai was anxious and hurried to make amends, "How about this, we'll go to Jinlin's place later. No matter what he says, we promise not to get angry. Is that ok with you?"
Mr. Xiao waved his hand, "You are father and son, it has nothing to do with me. I just want to tell you that we are very satisfied with Jinlin's partner. That child has been indifferent to everything since he was a child. It's rare to meet someone he really likes. This marriage must be successful. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Xiao Bai nodded vigorously.
Mr. Xiao continued, "Yesterday, the Chen family came to the capital, and Jinlin called his second uncle and second aunt over to entertain the guests. Ah Sheng and Ah Xue did a great job. In addition, Xinyue's godfather is the little ancestor of the Gao family in the compound. Madam Gao has openly defended him in front of us today.
You must be sincere in this marriage, and you should consider it carefully."
Xiao Bai's face turned pale, and he looked a little stunned and embarrassed.
Mu Qinglian beside him lowered her head with red eyes.
Mr. Xiao paid no attention to the feelings of his eldest son and his wife and said everything he needed to say.
Madam Xiao felt relieved and continued, "Also, Jinlin can't tolerate any sand in his eyes, so Guo Lingyue shouldn't interfere in his affairs. Just let him do whatever he wants, as long as he is happy."
Mu Qinglian raised her head suddenly, and a tear flew out, "Mom"
Seeing her like that, Madam Xiao not only felt no sympathy, but was furious. "I told you at the beginning that the child is innocent. No matter what the reason, since you gave birth to the child, you have to take on the responsibility of being a parent. But you are selfish and ignore the younger son because you have another son.
Whenever it comes to the two children, you subconsciously favor Jinchen. Sometimes I can't stand it! Since you are the first one, don't blame the child for the fifteenth. Don't use your status as a parent to pressure him. That will only make him hate you more!
The Chen family also knows about Jinlin's situation, so it's OK for Ah Sheng and Ah Xue to arrange this marriage. If you don't want to be involved, just stay out of it."
Mu Qinglian broke down and cried, "Mom! You are tearing my heart out! We regretted what we did back then, but the child is grown up now. We want to win him back but he is unwilling to do so. I have thought about caring for him over the years, but he always pushes me away coldly.
I asked him to go into politics, but he refused and insisted on doing business. We couldn't help him. We also scolded the eldest brother and his wife for what Lingyue did. We even wanted to let him change his wife according to his wishes. But you also know that the eldest brother found his wife himself, and he is happy to live with Guo Lingyue. We can't force the eldest brother to get a divorce!
Now the eldest brother's daughter is not in good health, and the couple's relationship is already messy enough. If we bring up the past again, won't it deepen the conflict between the brothers?"
Madam Xiao waved her hands impatiently, "It turns out that you spoiled her! I didn't think highly of Guo Lingyue in the beginning, and sure enough, this person never impresses me!
Forget it, we have separated the family anyway, you have to take responsibility for your own choices, I just want to inform you that we are very satisfied with the Chen family's marriage, please don't cause us any trouble, and Jinchen and his wife, if you cause me any more trouble, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Madam Xiao’s words were particularly serious.
This made Xiao Bai and his wife feel very disappointed and they could only agree reluctantly.
