Chapter 16: Finalizing the Marriage
After hearing what Grandpa Meng said, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng's faces turned pale, but when they thought about the benefits this marriage would bring to the family, they forced themselves to suppress their thoughts.
Su Mei's rationality gradually returned. Yes, is it really worth it to reject all the benefits in front of her just for the sake of a breath of fresh air?
If her family did not agree to this marriage, based on Su Mei's understanding of Mr. Meng, they would definitely not introduce any good marriage to Yi Yi in the future.
If she gives up the family marriage, what kind of partner can Yi Yi find in the future?
Over the years, because Su Mei was unhappy living in the Meng family's old house, she also moved out with her whole family.
But after living outside, Su Mei realized how difficult life is for ordinary people.
Yi Yi is different from myself.
My daughter knows herself well, and Yi Yi is still very competitive and vain.
If she marries an ordinary man in the future, she will live a dull life with the daily necessities of life.
When she meets her former friends and sisters in the future, who are all glamorous and beautiful, how big will the psychological gap be?
Will you be truly happy then?
And just as Yi Yi herself said before, face is earned by oneself, not given by others.
If life really becomes difficult after marrying into the Qin family, the worst that can happen is a divorce.
After Su Mei prepared herself mentally, she looked at Meng Yitong again. Seeing that her daughter did not have any strong opposition, Su Mei began to secretly think that her daughter should agree in her heart.
In fact, what she didn't know was that if her original self was here, she would indeed strongly oppose it.
But the person sitting here now is trainee lawyer Meng Yitong. As a prospective lawyer, not showing emotions on one's face during negotiations is a basic quality.
Su Mei, who had misunderstood, thought for a while and then said, "Okay, but I have a condition. If Yi Yi is not treated well by the Qin family after she gets married, her family cannot stop Yi Yi from getting a divorce."
After listening to Su Mei's words, Mr. Meng's face darkened and he said, "Okay, but my requirement is that we are not allowed to divorce within five years."
Mr. Meng certainly couldn't accept his own children getting divorced, but he wouldn't directly refute his eldest daughter-in-law's words at this time.
After all, looking at their expressions, if I don't appease them now, this marriage may really be out of the question.
If it were in the past, Mr. Meng would definitely not care about this matter, but it is different now.
If the Meng family wants to get a piece of the pie in urban construction and real estate projects, they must rely on the help of the Qin Group.
In Mr. Meng's opinion, five years is enough time for the two companies to be deeply bound together.
Moreover, five years is enough for Meng Yitong to give birth to a next generation heir for the Qin family. By then, divorce will be just empty words.
Thinking of this, Mr. Meng raised his head and glanced at his little granddaughter in front of him again, and couldn't help but feel secretly satisfied.
Although this little granddaughter has a bad brain and temper, her looks are impeccable.
Maybe Qin Zhuoran from the Qin family likes this kind of beautiful one!
As Mr. Meng thought about it, his expression became more amiable.
The family of four, who had no idea what Mr. Meng was thinking, looked at each other and calculated in their hearts that Meng Yitong was only 21 years old now, and would only be 26 years old in five years, so it seemed that it was not impossible.
The four of them looked at each other, and Meng Yitong asked directly: "What if the Qin family wants a divorce?"
Mr. Meng frowned when he heard this.
For a big family like theirs, divorce is not an easy matter!
But since his granddaughter asked, in order to appease her, Mr. Meng still replied seriously: "As long as it's not your fault, it's not a violation!"
Meng Yitong swallowed and asked, "What do you mean it's not my problem?"
Meng Yitong remembered that there were seven reasons for divorce in ancient times! If this is the standard, then she might as well not get married.
After all, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.
Mr. Meng glanced at Meng Yitong and replied with a dark face: "As long as you don't make friends with those messy people, you will have nothing to do with it!"
When Su Mei and the other two heard Mr. Meng's answer, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, Meng Yitong, who had something to hide, couldn't help but become nervous.
She wanted to ask Mr. Meng how to deal with matters before marriage, but she was worried that she might make things worse. After thinking about it, she kept her mouth shut out of guilt.
After all, judging from the chat records, the two of them didn't do anything excessive. It was just a little flattery and a generous gift of money. That shouldn't be a big deal, right?
In the end, Meng Yitong's family agreed to Grandpa Meng's request, and in order to prevent any further complications, Uncle Meng even called a lawyer to sign the contract on the spot.
Meng Yitong read the contract carefully. There were relatively few restrictions on her obligations. She only needed to marry him. The rest were promised benefits and various transfer agreements.
Meng Yitong thought about it and realized that the only two violations in the contract that required her to pay compensation were breaking off the engagement and cheating during marriage, but these were things she could control, so this contract was almost risk-free.
There will never be a more profitable deal in the world than this. Thinking of this, Meng Yitong decisively signed her name on the contract.
When Su Mei and Meng Jianjun saw that Meng Yitong had signed, they followed suit.
As for Meng Yuanliang, although he was dissatisfied, no one present would listen to his opinion.
On the way back after signing, Su Mei couldn't help but regret it. She stopped after a few steps and said, "Yiyi, why don't we just forget it? Maybe this Qin Zhuoran is really as unbearable as the rumors say! No, we should go back!"
Mother Meng said this and was about to go back.
Seeing this, Meng Yitong quickly reached out and grabbed her, saying, "Mom, mom, what are you doing! We have already signed the contract! There is no way you can change anything when you go back! Otherwise, Second Uncle wouldn't have asked someone to come over to sign the contract so late at night!"
After Meng Yitong finished speaking, she looked at Su Mei's still uneasy expression and immediately comforted her in a gentle voice: "It's okay! At worst, you can take him for plastic surgery, don't worry! Besides, what kind of man is good, doesn't it still depend on his skills and abilities! Isn't that what you said!"
Meng Yitong said this as she dragged Su Mei home.
Meng Yitong's family of four lived on the fourth floor of the Meng family villa.
The Meng family’s villa has 9 floors, each floor is about 800 square meters. The first floor consists of a living room, dining room, banquet hall and reception area, and the second floor is a cinema, gym and other functional areas.
The third floor is where Mr. Meng lives, and the fourth floor is the territory of Meng Yitong's family.
The fifth floor is where Uncle Meng and his wife live, the sixth floor is where cousin Meng Yuansi lives, the seventh floor is where cousin Meng Wanbai lives, the eighth floor is where cousin Meng Gaoxuan lives, and the ninth floor is the studio of Aunt Meng and Meng Wanbai.
So at first glance, the 800-square-meter house where Meng Yitong's family of four lives seems spacious, but it is really nothing in the Meng family.
