When Xian Shaodong and his wife Fang Peiru, who were far away in the United States, heard on the phone that the old man and woman had found a wife for their precious son, they were so frightened that they forgot all the difficult work at hand and booked plane tickets that very night to rush to L City.
Such a big thing was not discussed with them at all. What were the old man and woman thinking?
Although Fang Peiru has been anxious for her son Xianmingyu to find a partner all these years, isn't it a bit too hasty to suddenly get married like this?
Hsien Mingyu, who was engrossed in his work at the company, only learned about the marriage his grandparents had found for him from his mother's phone call. At first, he thought it was just a joke his mother made up. He had never even met her or seen what she looked like, so how could they get married so casually?
But with work taking precedence, Hsien Ming-yu decided to go back to the Hsien family's old house to ask his grandparents after get off work in the evening.
Fang Peiru wouldn't have it. She took a flight in the early morning and rushed back to the old house the next morning without getting much sleep, afraid that if she was late, the old man and woman would really bring in their approved granddaughter-in-law.
"Hurry up! Why are you wearing a tie when we're back home? If we're any later, some random girl might just force herself on your son!" Fang Peiru scolded, pulling her husband into the house as soon as they got out of the car.
Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen had just gotten up and were having breakfast in the restaurant.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law suddenly return, she was initially a little surprised, but then she thought that with her daughter-in-law's impulsive nature, she must have come for Xianmingyu's marriage.
"Dad, Mom, we're back."
"It's so early. Sit down and have breakfast together."
"Okay." Just as Xian Shaodong was about to pull out a chair and sit down, his wife Fang Peiru quickly pulled him up again.
"What are you eating! Have you forgotten why we came back here?"
"This..." Xian Shaodong looked aggrieved. Even if he was anxious about his son's marriage, he should at least eat something first. Since receiving the phone call last night, Fang Peiru hadn't eaten a single bite. Feeling sorry for his wife, Xian Shaodong had no choice but to stay with her. He was starving by now.
My wife won't let me eat it, so should I eat it or not?
"Peiru, Shaodong, what are you two doing? Hurry up and sit down." Xian Zhengsen pointed with his chopsticks, urging them to sit down and eat first, and that they could talk after they had finished eating.
"Yes, Dad..."
As soon as Xian Shaodong sat down, he stirred the porridge, blew on it to cool it down, and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Fang Peiru picked up a spoon, took two bites, and then lost her appetite.
Without further ado, he got straight to the point with the two elders.
"Dad, Mom, what exactly happened with Mingyu's marriage that you were talking about last night? As his parents, we were the last to find out. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Lin Suqing: "What's wrong with that? We are Mingyu's grandparents, he is our own grandson, would we harm him? Mingyu is not young anymore, and now he has met a suitable girl, isn't marriage just a matter of time?"
"Yes, it's only a matter of time. Of course, I also hope that Mingyu can marry a good wife. Even if she can't be his right-hand woman at work, she can at least take care of his life and make things easier for him. But Mom, even if you find a suitable girl for Mingyu, dating is fine, but marriage shouldn't be done so hastily, right?"
“Mingyu is already so old, what’s the point of talking about it? If we keep talking for a few more years, when will I ever be able to hold my great-grandchild? I just think that girl is good, she’s the one, I don’t like anyone else. I’ve decided that she’s going to be our Xian family’s granddaughter-in-law, wouldn’t it be more joyous to get married as soon as possible?”
Fang Peiru was speechless for a moment. So the old lady was in a hurry to have a great-grandchild? There was no emotional foundation at all. Even if they did have a child, could the two of them really get along harmoniously?
Fang Peiru knows her own son best, of course.
With Hsien Ming-yu's personality, once he sets his mind on something, he can stubbornly stick to it for a lifetime.
Back then, it wasn't that Su Yulu was so bad that she was unbearable to look at. Apart from being a bit vain and quick-witted, she was genuinely happy when she was by Xuan Mingyu's side. But Grandpa and Grandma Xuan just didn't like her and insisted on driving her away, which is why their son has been depressed for so many years.
Now they're forcing a wife on him. Putting aside her looks and personality, Xuan Mingyu has been unable to forget Su Yuluo for the past six years, so how could he possibly fall for another girl?
If it were so easy to make him fall in love with someone else, I wouldn't have introduced him to so many girls over the years, coaxed and tricked him into going on so many blind dates, all of which ended in failure.
"Mom, you're praising that girl to the skies, saying she's the best of everyone, but Shao Dong and I haven't even met her yet. Shouldn't we at least wait until we see her and think she's suitable before making any plans for Mingyu's marriage?"
"That's true... We haven't set a date yet. In a few days, we plan to take Mingyu to the Bai family again. You can come along too, and then you can see Xiaoruo."
"The Bai family? Which Bai family? Mom, are you talking about... the Bai family of the Bai Group?"
"Exactly."
As soon as Lin Suqing finished speaking, Fang Peiru immediately objected: "No way! Our Mingyu is so outstanding, how could that girl from the Bai family be worthy of him! Although the Bai family has been developing well in recent years, and the Bai Group has gradually become more prominent, we have never had any business dealings with the Bai family, and our business is completely unrelated. If it were another family's daughter, it would be fine, but Mom, how could you possibly take a fancy to that girl from the Bai family?"
