“Elder Qu, it’s only been a few days since we last saw each other. Your ability to lie through your teeth has grown. Meng’er and I have always been together. Why do I not feel that Meng’er has lost weight?” Elder Liu could not help but argue with Elder Qu when he met him.
Chen Meng’er had a headache when she saw the situation. If she allowed the two of them to continue bickering like this, she would not be able to catch up on sleep. She would be jet-lagged.
“Grandpa, why are you all here? Is there something you need me for?” Chen Meng’er spoke before Elder Qu could.
“I heard that you were coming back today, so I brought some people over to wait for you.” Elder Qu only remembered that he had brought his wife and his youngest son and daughter-in-law today after Chen Meng’er said that. Chen Ping and his wife were here too. They were here for serious business. “Meng’er, I originally thought that you were still young. It’s a little too early for you to start a family at this age.”
“Old man, why are you still talking about this now?” Madam Qu glared at her husband. Things had already developed to this extent, yet he was still talking about this. “Meng’er, I don’t object to you marrying Jing right now. It’s just that, no matter what, Jing must give you what others deserve. Otherwise, I won’t agree to it.”
!!
Chen Meng’er had been lost for so many years, it was not easy to find her again. Apart from feeling guilty toward Chen Meng’er, Madam Qu also doted on Chen Meng’er. She could not bear to let Chen Meng’er suffer even the slightest bit of injustice.
If it were not for this incident, Madam Qu would be like Elder Qu. She really would not be able to bear to let Chen Meng’er get married so early.
Chen Meng’er knew what her grandmother meant. Before she came back, Yuwen Jing had told her to rest a.s.sured that he would take care of everything. He would take care of everything. If others had something, he wouldn’t let Chen Meng’er not have it. If others didn’t have it, he would give it to Chen Meng’er.
“Grandma, don’t worry. I won’t let myself suffer. Moreover, Yuwen Jing won’t let me suffer. If he has the audacity to let me suffer, I’ll kick him out,” Chen Meng’er held Madam Qu’s arm and said coquettishly.
Yuwen Jing was very fast. Only a few days after Chen Meng’er’s return to Beijing, he had already prepared the betrothal gifts and had rushed over.
After Yuwen Jing arrived, the atmosphere of the Green Gang suddenly changed.
Elder Liu and Elder Qu sat in the seat of honor with a serious look on their faces. They looked at Yuwen Jing expressionlessly. Yuwen Jing’s grandparents, Marquis Yuwen and Madam Yuwen, sat together with Madam Qu with a happy look on their faces. For the sake of his grandson’s success in marrying Chen Meng’er, Marquis Yuwen tactfully did not argue with Elder Liu and Elder Qu today. As such, he sat together with his wife very obediently. Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, wanted to personally come to the scene, but she had long been locked up in the back room by her two mothers.
“Mums, what are you doing? Just let me go and have a look.” Chen Meng’er was still worried that her two grandfathers would make things difficult for Yuwen Jing.
This was not something that Chen Meng’er was worried about without reason. After all, these two had been acting moody for the past few days.
And the reason why they were in a bad mood was something that Chen Meng’er could guess with her little brain.
“It’s not that we don’t want you to go. It’s that your two grandpas had already given the order for us to stop you. We can’t dare disobey their orders.” Murong Ying’s personality was completely different from before. She was also much more outgoing. From what Chen Meng’er saw, she had the potential to develop into a strong woman.
“Moreover, I also feel that it’s better for you to avoid this scene today.” Liu Juan wanted to follow the tradition of keeping the bride a mystery from the husband until the day of the wedding.
When Chen Meng’er saw the att.i.tude of her two mothers, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to walk out of this door before they reached an agreement.
“Grandpas, I came here today specifically to propose marriage to your granddaughter. I want to marry Meng’er.” Yuwen Jing’s mood was different today, so he found the stern-faced old men rather endearing.
After Elder Liu and Elder Qu heard Yuwen Jing’s words, they snorted coldly with tacit understanding.
“Our Meng’er isn’t someone you can marry just because you want to.”
“That’s right. You didn’t let us see your sincerity. There’s no way you can marry our Meng’er.” Elder Liu and Elder Qu chimed in one after the other.
When Marquis Yuwen heard the words of Elder Liu and Elder Qu, he was immediately unhappy. He wanted to open his mouth to defend his grandson, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He turned his head and met his wife’s warning gaze.
He immediately swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth. In order for this to be a success, he endured it.
Yuwen Jing came prepared this time. He was not fl.u.s.tered by Elder Liu’s and Elder Qu’s words.
“Allen, Baro, get someone to bring up the betrothal gift I have prepared for your mistress,” Yuwen Jing said to Allen and Baro who were standing behind him.
“Yes, Master.”
Allen and Baro received the order and left.
Not long after, the people brought by Yuwen Jing carried a large array of boxes.
Looking at the neatly arranged boxes made of mahogany, everyone could not help but stretch their necks. Elder Liu and Elder Qu also widened their eyes. Looking at the ten or so boxes made of mahogany, they could not help but think that this seemed to be a little too much.
However, they did not show anything on their faces.
As for the first elder, when he looked at the ten or so mahogany boxes and thought about the things that were inside, he felt waves of pain in his heart. He really could not bear to give these things to Chen Meng’er just like that. However, what was the use of being unwilling?
This was not something that he could make a decision on.
