When Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong returned to their seats from the bathroom, they saw slightly relieved looks from both sides' parents. Did they think that they had a good relationship?
"Although you two have obtained the marriage certificate, you haven't held a wedding yet. In the eyes of outsiders, you are not married. Jingdong must take good care of Tiantian, understand?" Meng's mother carefully instructed in front of Tian Jing.
Before Lu Tian could react to what he meant, Meng Jingdong had already nodded obediently. Did he mean that no one should die before the wedding? He really thought highly of them...
After the meal, the two families left together. Meng's mother insisted that Meng Jingdong send Tian Jing's family back. Lu Tian naturally got into his car, and they drove one after the other with Tian Jing's car. The car was very quiet, and the air was filled with the smell of male and female fragrances mixed together, which was unexpectedly pleasant.
She glanced sideways at Meng Jingdong, who was driving. He was dressed in a smart suit and had a meticulous demeanor, exuding an air of awe that kept people at a distance. But she still had one question: "What about your parents preparing for the wedding?"
"It's next year's thing. I'll find a reason to delay it then."
Neither of them had any intention of holding a wedding. Firstly, they had no feelings for each other at all, and secondly, weddings were too tiring and there was no need to torment themselves and have others watch the fun.
Lu Tian got a satisfactory answer and opened her phone to play around. While waiting for the red light, Meng Jingdong glanced at her. She still had the gentle and charming appearance, but compared with the past, there was only one word to describe her - completely transformed.
"I've prepared a house. I think you might need to stay there for a few days just to pretend."
"Why? I'm still a student." Lu Tian didn't expect that there would be a scene of pretending to be a loving couple.
"Grandpa and grandma are still recuperating abroad. They may ask about us when they come back during the Spring Festival." Meng Jingdong explained lightly.
Lu Tian nodded without asking any more questions. The original novel described Meng Jingdong as a cold gentleman at best, aloof and inviolable. But now she found that the boss was also a human being. His behavior in front of his relatives was no different from that of a normal person. Only when the two of them were alone could she notice his difference. He was indifferent today, did he seem unhappy?
But she was too lazy to guess what he was thinking and continued to look down at her phone. The car became quiet again. She moved her nose and found that the smell of her perfume absolutely covered his.
…
Zou Rui was driving in the car in front. Zou's mother was sitting in the back seat, hugging the dozing Zou Fan. She was still thinking about the betrothal gift list. Halfway through the car, she couldn't help but ask, "The Meng family is so powerful, and they're giving so much betrothal gifts. What about the dowry?"
Tian Jing lowered her head and frowned, not daring to let her mother-in-law see her expression in the rearview mirror.
I couldn't meet up today without my mother-in-law, but bringing her would bring me to this problem. Zou's mother was neither good nor bad, a normal person who favored her grandson over others, with normal thinking ability. The Meng family had offered a betrothal gift of over 100 million yuan, so if the Zou family only offered a dowry of 1 million yuan, it would seem a bit unreasonable. But if all the family property was given to Lu Tian, what would her grandson want? Besides, Lu Tian was still a girl...
"I'm not saying this, but being well-matched is really important. Luckily, Tiantian is a girl, so even if her dowry is a little smaller, it won't be looked down upon. This is a new era now!" Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law didn't respond, Zou's mother tried to smooth things over. It wasn't that she didn't want Tian Jing to give Lu Tian a high dowry, but she definitely wouldn't want Zou Fan treated unfairly!
Zou Rui knew his mother best, so he said at the right time: "Mom, we can handle this matter ourselves. You don't have to worry about it. Just wait for the wedding."
Zou's mother responded. Her son could always tell the difference between biological and non-biological children. Even if he couldn't, she would secretly remind him. Now she said it out loud to remind Tian Jing.
Tian Jing has been getting along with her mother-in-law for many years, so how could she not understand her thoughts? Lu Tian’s dowry must not be known to her mother-in-law, otherwise she will be furious.
Arriving downstairs at the Zou family's house, Tian Jing invited Meng Jingdong to sit upstairs, but he declined: "Mom, I won't sit upstairs. Just let Lu Tian walk with me downstairs. I'll take her upstairs later."
The family went upstairs with great understanding. Lu Tian tightened his coat around himself and asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"I had someone investigate something unusual with the van driver. There's an extra amount of money in his girlfriend's account. He and his girlfriend have a child with a congenital heart disease, and surgery will cost a fortune. The driver must have taken a risk to get this business from someone else. We're investigating the mastermind behind this. Please pay attention to your personal safety."
"Okay, thank you." As long as they find out who is behind this, the general direction can be determined. She doesn't believe that no one in the Lu family is playing tricks.
"If you need any help, please call me immediately. I will do my best to help you."
Lu Tian smiled with satisfaction and sniffed in a very unpresentable manner: "Thank you, my nose is about to run. I'll go back first. Be careful on the road."
He was startled for a moment, then smiled softly: "Okay, I'm going to visit Mr. Gu tomorrow. If necessary, we can go together."
"Okay!" She almost forgot about it.
Meng Jingdong sent her to the door of Zou's house and turned to leave. Lu Tian stared at his back for a while, but really couldn't figure out what Boss Meng was thinking.
**
Only a few people knew that Mr. Gu was ill. He was in poor health but was the one in charge of the Gu family, so people had been asking about his situation. Especially after Mr. Gu fell ill this time, he called his lawyer again. For an old man of his status, if he called a lawyer for any little thing, it must be about the will. The three sons of the old man had a good relationship since they were young, so there might not be any dispute over the inheritance because they all knew that the old man had always been fair.
