Chapter 297 Legal Wife
That is indeed important.
I looked at my slightly bulging belly and didn't want to go. "You can go. I'll wait for you at home."
"Grandpa and his family are planning to introduce me to a few so-called well-matched women at the reception. I have to take you with me to let them know that I already have a wife and children." Xu Zhengnan put his arm around my shoulders and asked deliberately, "Are you sure you don't want to go? That's the best opportunity to assert your sovereignty within the Xu family."
That being said, I have to go even if I don't want to.
I was a little confused, "But I'm not your wife yet, we haven't got a marriage certificate or held a wedding yet."
"So let's get the certificate tomorrow during the day and then go to the cocktail party. It's all fine as long as you are willing." Xu Zhengnan said gently.
Get the marriage certificate tomorrow! ?
This caught me off guard. I had previously thought about getting a marriage certificate before the child was born, after all, we would need to register the child, but I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.
I had no preparation at all.
But since Xu Zhengnan has brought it up, let's go for it. After we get the certificate, we will be a legally recognized couple.
I didn't hesitate, "Okay, let's go get the certificate tomorrow."
I felt a little weird about making such a simple and big decision. We didn’t tell anyone about it, but went to the Civil Affairs Bureau early the next morning.
I put on some simple makeup to look better, and wore a skirt that didn't look like I was pregnant at all. Xu Zhengnan wore a white shirt, and looked handsome and clear.
Before going through the formalities, I took out an agreement from my bag. It was about pre-marital property. With this agreement, I couldn't take advantage of Xu Zhengnan, and his money belonged to him.
Xu Zhengnan read the agreement and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He asked me, "Are you stupid? Other women want to seize the economic power, but you are eager to draw a clear line between you and me in terms of finances?"
"This way your family will trust me and not approach you for money. Although I am not as rich as you, let alone as wealthy as the Xu family, I have no problem supporting myself and even the children." I answered seriously.
"What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours, do you understand?" Xu Zhengnan tore up the agreement and threw it into the trash can.
I don't want his money, but I really like his attitude.
Then we registered our marriage, and when we got the marriage certificate, I felt it was a little unreal.
The last time I got a marriage certificate was with Shen Yixiao.
When we first got together, we were not old enough to get a marriage certificate. Until the day we were supposed to get the certificate, we both waited at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning.
I felt very happy at that time, but that happiness was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
The feeling at this moment is different, very reassuring.
After getting the certificate, Xu Zhengnan took me directly to the Xu family’s old house. The cocktail party started at noon.
When we arrived, luxury cars were parked outside the Xu family's house. They were probably the guests who came to attend the cocktail party today. Grandpa Xu held this cocktail party mainly to introduce Xu Zhengnan to everyone.
When Xu Zhengnan appeared in front of everyone holding my hand, everyone was stunned at first, and then looked at Grandpa Xu, as if no one knew us.
Beside Grandpa Xu were Xu Xiangdong, Xu Wanting and others. When they saw me coming, their faces suddenly became a little ugly, but soon returned to normal.
Family disgrace should not be made public, and they are unlikely to say anything too harsh in front of so many people.
A man walked up to Grandpa Xu and said something with his head down. Grandpa Xu's face changed slightly, and then he stood up and walked towards me.
"Zhengnan, let me introduce you. This is Mr. He from Fucheng Enterprise." Grandpa Xu directly introduced the man he brought to Xu Zhengnan.
Mr. He smiled at Xu Zhengnan and took the initiative to extend his hand, "Hello, Mr. Xu."
Xu Zhengnan politely extended his hand and shook it, "Hello, Mr. He."
Afterwards, Grandpa Xu took Xu Zhengnan to make connections everywhere and deliberately ignored me, as if I was just air.
No matter what Grandpa Xu's attitude towards me was, Xu Zhengnan always held my hand tightly and followed his footsteps to get to know other people. Coincidentally, among so many people, no one asked about my identity, but just looked at our hands meaningfully.
"Hello, I'm Zhu Yueyue." Suddenly, a young girl appeared in front of him. She was wearing a dress and had a silver bow on her head. She looked fresh and noble. She greeted Xu Zhengnan gracefully and extended her hand.
Xu Zhengnan did not reach out his hand, but instead glanced at Grandpa Xu.
Grandpa Xu didn't say anything. Xu Wanting came over and said, "Zhengnan, this is Zhu's youngest daughter, Zhu Yueyue. You went horseback riding with her during one of your summer vacations. Did you forget?"
I don't know about this and Xu Zhengnan has never told me about it.
When Zhu Yueyue saw that Xu Zhengnan did not respond to her, she naturally withdrew her hand without feeling angry or embarrassed.
"Sorry, I don't remember." Xu Zhengnan replied distantly.
"It's okay, let's get to know each other again. My name is Zhu Yueyue." Zhu Yueyue answered nonchalantly.
Xu Zhengnan smiled slightly, "Well, my name is Xu Zhengnan, and the one next to me is my wife, Li Yue."
I just met a bunch of people, and he didn't introduce me to others unless they asked. Now he introduced me to Zhu Yueyue, probably to give me a sense of security.
I gave a polite smile and said, "Hello, Miss Zhu."
I stretched out my hand, and Zhu Yueyue took a look. The smile on her face was no longer there. She looked at Xu Wanting with some unhappiness.
It seems that Xu Wanting wants to introduce Zhu Yueyue to Xu Zhengnan, and it would be best if they can be a couple.
As a result, Xu Zhengnan refused to accept the challenge and even dragged me out.
"Zhengnan, this is a formal occasion, so you should speak more carefully. You and Miss Li are not married, so how could she be your wife?" Xu Wanting lowered her voice, looking displeased.
Xu Zhengnan took the bag from my hand, opened it and took out our marriage certificate. "We just got the certificate today. She is now my legal wife, aunt. There should be no problem with the introduction I made just now."
When they saw the marriage certificate, Grandpa Xu and the others were stunned, then they flew into a rage, somewhat unable to control their emotions.
But after all, there were so many people, and the Xu family finally endured it.
Zhu Yueyue couldn't stand it anymore. She turned around and left angrily, saying angrily, "Why did you introduce him to me when he's already married? I'm going to tell my dad!"
As soon as Zhu Yueyue left, Grandpa Xu said to Xu Zhengnan and me, "You two come with me!"
His face looked very gloomy. Xu Wanting supported him and walked towards a room.
Xu Zhengnan and I looked at each other and followed him.
