Chapter 470: Change of Attitude
Zhong Family——
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong looked at Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao sitting in front of them, and both wondered if there was something wrong with their ears, so they must have heard it wrong.
Even Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling from the main room nearby looked confused, but a hint of excitement could still be seen in their eyes.
On the other hand, Zhong Jinghao, who was sitting next to him, remained calm from beginning to end, and even had an expression on his face that showed that he had expected this.
"You mean—" Mr. Zhong considered his words for a moment before speaking, "Did your father intend to settle things between you two during this meeting?"
Early this morning, Lu Yichen came to the house in person. I thought it was something big, but unexpectedly, he was talking about a meeting between the two families.
Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong were not surprised by this. After all, this matter had already been discussed before.
However, afterward, so many things happened in the Zhong family that it was almost a turmoil. After that, the matter was put on hold. They didn't dare to ask further because, as the women, they couldn't seem too anxious, or else it would be embarrassing.
So, when Lu Yichen came to talk about this matter today, they were somewhat happy.
However, Lu Yichen's next words caught them off guard. Because Lu Yichen directly proposed that this time they meet, they should set the date for his and Zhong Nianyao's engagement.
You know, this is the first time the two families have met. Isn't it a bit too hasty to agree on a marriage right away?
Hearing the hesitation in Mr. Zhong's words, Lu Yichen immediately spoke, "Yao'er and I have known each other for quite some time, and we have been dating for a while. Moreover, my father is very satisfied with Yao'er. So, he also hopes that we can settle down this morning."
"But isn't this a bit too hasty?" Old Master Zhong frowned and couldn't help but say, "This is the first time our two families have met, and we're talking about marriage right away. Isn't that a bit hasty?"
Until now, he is quite satisfied with Lu Yichen, his future grandson-in-law.
Unlike Lu Chenran, the man Zhong Mengxuan had chosen, Lu Yichen seemed much more responsible. Not only had he visited them many times, he had also made his affairs with Zhong Nianyao public, and even brought her directly to the Lu family. Mr. Lu also liked Zhong Nianyao, so marrying her into the Lu family wouldn't create any conflicts.
As for Madam Lu's thoughts, he didn't care too much. First, he didn't know what she was thinking. Second, in the Lu family, it was Grandpa Lu who made the decisions. As long as Grandpa Lu was satisfied, no matter how many ideas Madam Li had, she would have to swallow them all.
However, even though I'm satisfied, isn't it too hasty to get engaged right after only dating for so long? After getting engaged, can marriage be far behind?
His granddaughter is still very young, and he plans to keep her for a few more years.
"No rush." Lu Yichen said immediately, "Yao'er and I are in love with each other, and both our parents have no objections. Engagement is just a matter of course."
"Yes! Dad," Zhong Minghao beside him quickly chimed in, "Yao'er is now at the right age for an engagement. Now that the Lu family is so sincere, we shouldn't refuse!"
Not to mention getting engaged, he couldn't wait for Zhong Nian Yao to marry Lu Yichen right away.
Although Zhong Nianyao was only his niece, she was a member of the Zhong family. As long as the news of Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen's engagement spread, the Zhong family would be the future in-laws of the Lu family. A marriage with the Lu family would definitely bring great benefits to the Zhong family.
"Yeah!" Zheng Siling, who knew her husband best, immediately chimed in, "Dad, since Third Master Lu and Nian Yao are in love with each other, getting engaged and married is only a matter of time. Now it's just a matter of settling it sooner rather than later. It's not like they're getting married right away, so what's the point of being so entangled?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
Old Master Zhong glared at Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling and said, "Why do you have to decide everything? I have my own decision on this matter, and I don't need you to butt in."
Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling, who were suddenly scolded, probably knew what the old man was thinking. They could only rub their noses and accept the scolding, and did not dare to express their opinions casually.
However, deep down, they still hoped that the old man would agree as soon as possible.
"Yichen!" Old Master Zhong's eyes rolled, and he immediately spoke, "There's no problem with the two families meeting. However, I still think it's a little too early to get engaged. Yaoyao is still in school! Let's wait until she graduates from university before discussing the engagement!"
Mrs. Zhong on the side did not say anything, but it was obvious that she agreed with what Mr. Zhong said.
Zhong Nianyao was listening, but did not express any opinions or indicate which side she was on.
Lu Yichen was not angry at being rejected. He continued, "Grandpa, there are some things I want to talk to you about alone. Is that possible?"
Lu Yichen's sudden request caught everyone present off guard.
Mr. Zhong was a little confused, but he didn't refuse. However, he had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would not agree to get engaged so early.
Zhong Nianyao blinked her eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled. She couldn't tell what Lu Yichen was up to, and was even more curious about how Lu Yichen would convince her grandfather to agree to the engagement.
Mr. Zhong and Lu Yichen went to the study.
But after about a quarter of an hour, the two came out again.
Mr. Zhong's eyes were slightly red and he looked a little excited, but he suppressed it.
What was surprising was that after coming out of the study, Mr. Zhong changed his previous firm attitude and finally agreed to the engagement between Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao.
After hearing Mr. Zhong’s statement, everyone was stunned.
Even Mrs. Zhong, who was sitting next to Mr. Zhong, couldn't help but look at her husband with shock. Obviously, she didn't expect that Mr. Zhong's attitude would change so drastically in such a short time.
Everyone was curious about what Lu Yichen had said to Mr. Zhong that made him give in in such a short time.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen beside her with confusion in her eyes, as if waiting for his answer.
