Zou Rui patted the back of her hand, offering silent comfort: "Did the Lu family say when they would make it clear?"
"Not yet, but I can't hide it. I just found out that the Lu family's focus has shifted to us these days. Plus, with the Gu family's connections, it's only a matter of time before people notice it. Many people back then knew me. Instead of Lu Tian finding out from others, it's better for me to tell her."
"Lu Tian has become much more sensible recently, so don't worry too much."
Tian Jing was still a little worried, but seeing her husband's expression, she understood that it was not good to talk about the past. She hid her worry and asked him with a smile, "Do you think I gave Lu Tian too much?"
Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong's marriage was a marriage between the Zou and Meng families. While outsiders wouldn't question the size of the dowry, both families were watching closely. Regardless of whether there was a betrothal gift, Tian Jing would certainly not let her daughter suffer. From a profit-making perspective, the benefits of the marriage to the Zou family far outweighed the dowry.
"Things are dead, but people are alive. Besides, Fanfan doesn't care, so I won't care either. I watched Tiantian grow up, so of course I hope she can live happily after marrying into the Meng family." Zou Rui said sincerely.
Tian Jing's frown gradually relaxed. She didn't want to choose between her husband, son, and daughter. This situation was the best.
At the weekend, the Zou family and the Meng family met at the agreed hotel. The two families arrived at about the same time, so there was no question of who was waiting for whom or who was going outside to pick up whom. Both Meng's father and mother were dressed in their best and attended the event, attaching great importance to it.
Tian Jing breathed a sigh of relief. The Meng family was a wealthy and powerful family. If Meng's mother looked down on Lu Tian and did something between the couple, her daughter would be the one who suffered in the end.
During the dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Meng spoke very politely, without any intention of looking down on Tian Jing who had started from scratch.
"Since they have already obtained the marriage certificate, why don't you prepare the wedding? We have already prepared the betrothal gifts and will definitely not let Tiantian down." Meng's mother smiled, as if Meng Jingdong had never been able to find a wife.
Although Tian Jing had prepared the dowry, it was up to them to decide when to get married. She smiled and evaded the question, "They both have their own ideas. Let them decide for themselves."
The two parents, along with Zou's mother and Zou Fan, looked at Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong at the same time, waiting for their answer.
Meng Jingdong remained silent. Afraid of saying something wrong, Lu Tian quietly reached under the table and poked his leg. He calmly moved his leg further away, a smile playing on the corner of his lips. "Tiantian has a heavy workload in her junior year, and we need time to prepare the wedding venue and wedding dress. This year is too rushed, so we plan to hold the wedding next year or after Tiantian graduates."
"That's right, wedding dresses are very important. Tiantian, what style do you like? Mom can contact a designer for you."
Lu Tian kept smiling: "Thank you, Mom."
Afterwards, the Meng family gave the prepared betrothal gifts to Tian Jing and Zou Rui for review. It was a very generous amount. Tian Jing was very satisfied after seeing it, and then she began to worry whether the dowry prepared by her family was a bit underwhelming.
While the two families were discussing the betrothal gifts and dowry, Lu Tian got up and went to the bathroom, where she hid in thought. The Meng family's attitude was very different from the original novel. Although the original novel didn't describe this meeting, the original owner had a bad relationship with the Meng family, so the Meng family wouldn't be so enthusiastic. Could they know her background? The original novel didn't mention Meng Jingdong's relationship problems. He was Yu Ningxuan's idol, a kind of white moonlight that she could only look up to. She went over the original plot in her mind but couldn't think of any other reason.
After coming out of the bathroom, Lu Tian still hadn't figured out the problem. After washing her hands, she turned around and was shocked to see Meng Jingdong standing at the bathroom entrance.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Jingdong glanced at her and said, "You haven't come out for so long. I thought something happened to you in the bathroom, so I came to check it out."
"Thank you, I'm living well." Lu Tian said unhappily, and followed Meng Jingdong's steps towards the box. It was a short distance, and she walked very slowly, but she couldn't help her curiosity.
"Are your parents so eager for you to get married?"
Meng Jingdong nodded indifferently. There was a reason why his parents expected him to get married, but he didn't need to let her know the reason.
Lu Tian seemed to be half-believing, but he looked like he didn't want to say more, and she wouldn't ask him about it. It didn't matter whether he knew it or not, it was just a deal.
With his hands clasped on the table, Meng Jingdong, who had been relatively calm until then, showed a hint of surprise. After slightly frowning, he asked calmly, "Why do you want a divorce? We've only been married for less than a month."
For no reason, Lu Tian's mind flashed with the scene of the original owner and him getting up early one night, with their clothes half-undressed and the bed in a mess. Then the original owner proposed to get married, and if they didn't get married, she would sue Meng Jingdong for rape. Meng Jingdong only considered it for two days before agreeing to get the marriage certificate, but the date for the wedding had not been agreed upon yet. However, Lu Tian traveled through time a few days after getting the marriage certificate, and apart from the piece of paper, the two of them did not have any actual sexual contact.
"I suddenly changed my mind. You don't need to be responsible." Lu Tian was fearless, like a little girl who goes back on her word.
Meng Jingdong stared at her for a long time, a faint smile gradually appearing in his dark eyes: "I can agree to this condition, but not divorce now."
"How long do we have to wait?"
Meng Jingdong changed his posture and expression to a serious one, which made Lu Tian feel a little favorable towards him. He was very serious.
"My company and your mother's company are currently collaborating on a very important project. If we divorce hastily, it will have a huge impact on this project. Also, you previously spread the rumor that we were getting married soon. If we divorce, it would have an irreversible impact on my reputation and the company. Therefore, we cannot divorce until at least the end of next year."
