Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Some parents would extort a huge sum of money from their daughter’s future son-in-law. The kind-hearted ones would return the betrothal gift and dowry to their daughter. The ruthless ones would directly swallow the betrothal gift.
However, it was rare to see someone like Xu Pingfei, who gave up her money and only wanted Jiang Wei to keep a promise. Jiang Wei was deeply shocked. He was proud that the woman he liked had such a loving mother.
A daughter raised by such a woman must be a good person. Jiang Wei’s heart warmed. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, he heard Xu Pingfei say, “Don’t be in a hurry to agree. I’m not done talking.”
“Go ahead, Auntie.”
At this moment, the gentle and dignified woman’s expression became extremely serious and fierce. She looked at her future son-in-law and said domineeringly, “After you get married, under the circ.u.mstances that our Qingqing has done nothing wrong, you have to transfer everything you have willingly to our Qingqing if you violate your oath today.”
!!
Everyone in the private room was stunned.
Before Xu Pingfei could finish speaking, she said, “Including your company, all your real estate, and everything you have.” Xu Pingfei smiled and said, “This is not a verbal oath. You have to find a lawyer to write it down clearly. It’s bound by law.”
These words rang in everyone’s hearts.
Everyone had different reactions.
Liu Qingya turned to look at her daughter and sighed. She felt sorry for all the parents in the world. If her daughter got married one day, she would be willing to be like her.
Nothing was more important than her daughter’s happiness.
Jiang Jie noticed her mother’s gaze and felt awkward. This scene was strange and touching. She felt uncomfortable and looked down at the gla.s.s of wine in front of her, wanting to use it to ease the discomfort in her heart.
Qiao Jiusheng stared deeply at Xu Pingfei. There had never been a moment when this woman’s image in her heart was so alive. She suddenly thought of her mother, who was also a woman. If she was still alive, she would definitely love her this much.
At the thought of her mother, Qiao Jiusheng could not help but think of the scene of her mother’s tragic death. Her heart ached and she felt especially terrible. Fang Yusheng noticed the change in Qiao Jiusheng’s emotions immediately. Under the table, he held her hand tightly and patted it gently with his other hand, hoping to comfort her.
After hearing Xu Pingfei’s words, Fang Yuqing’s eyes reddened. She looked at her mother. She was not married yet, but she felt the reluctance and heartache of leaving her mother and marrying into another family.
She was the little princess that her mother doted on. Soon, the little princess would marry into someone else’s family. Whether she worked hard or continued to be a princess and become an empress depended on the man beside her.
Fang Yuqing turned to look at Jiang Wei. She felt uneasy, but she still yearned for the future.
Jiang Wei agreed hurriedly.
He first turned to look at Fang Yuqing.
Fang Yuqing looked at him silently. She did not rush him, nor did she look disappointed. She seemed to be sure that he would agree. This was a sign that she trusted him completely.
Jiang Wei suddenly smiled. He looked at Xu Pingfei and said, “My father said that a man can only sleep with one woman in his life. He also said that a capable man would dote on a woman as she grows from a young lady to an old lady.”
“My parents are the people I respect the most. I’ve lived by their side since I was young. Under their influence, I’ll definitely be loyal to my future wife. I swear that as long as I live, I’ll love Qingqing even more. I’ll be loyal to her and love her forever.”
Actually, it was quite embarra.s.sing to say such words. However, Jiang Wei’s tone was solemn and serious. Anyone could hear his determination.
As he spoke, Xu Pingfei’s gaze was fixed on him. She took in Jiang Wei’s every word and action, including his expression when he spoke. After confirming that this person was speaking from the bottom of his heart and not lying, Xu Pingfei felt relieved.
“Very good.” She smiled sadly and glanced at Fang Yuqing, who was beside Jiang Wei. Fang Yuqing was especially pretty tonight. Xu Pingfei looked at her daughter’s face, which was similar to her own when she was young, and could not help but think of her life.
In her life, half of it revolved around Fang Pingjue. She loved him, but he did not have her in his heart. Her life was considered miserable and not worth living. She only wished for her daughter to be happy forever and not follow in her footsteps.
At the thought of her life, Xu Pingfei almost shed tears on the spot.
She sniffled and laughed at Fang Yuqing before scolding her jokingly. “A grown woman can’t be kept at home!” As soon as she finished scolding her, the tears that she had stopped suddenly rolled down like pearls.
Upon seeing this, Fang Yuqing wanted to cry.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the private room was especially sad. Qiao Jiusheng quickly took a tissue and pa.s.sed it to Xu Pingfei from Fang Yusheng. “Auntie Xu, why are you crying? Qingqing is not married yet!”
Xu Pingfei also felt embarra.s.sed. She quickly took the tissue and wiped her face carefully. She was quite attentive and knew that she could not ruin her carefully applied makeup. When Xu Pingfei and Fang Yuqing calmed down, Jiang Bo picked up his chopsticks and tried to mediate the situation. He said, “Okay, okay. Eat the dishes. They’re getting cold.”
“Okay.”
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and continued eating, afraid that they would make Xu Pingfei and Fang Yuqing cry again.
Jiang Wei drank and ate while taking out his phone with his other hand and sending Song Zhi a message.
Next, the group ate a few mouthfuls and stopped to discuss some wedding-related matters. For example, the date of the wedding, the venue, the invitation, and the bride’s gown…
Everyone had their own opinions. Both sides had their reasons. If they really wanted to talk in detail, one night was probably not enough for them.
…
By the time they finished discussing the main matters, two hours had pa.s.sed.
During this period, the dishes were removed and new dishes were served.
When they were finally full, the group of people was satisfied. When they got up to leave, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside again. This time, the person who walked into the private room was not the waiter of the clubhouse, but a man in a steel-gray suit and gla.s.ses.
Everyone looked at the person who had suddenly barged in and was a little surprised.
“Song Zhi, why are you here?” Jiang Bo looked at Song Zhi in surprise.
Song Zhi had a briefcase near his waist. He nodded at Jiang Bo and politely called him Uncle Jiang. Then, he scanned everyone in the private room with his smiling eyes.
“Everyone’s here.” Song Zhi adjusted his gla.s.ses and smiled calmly before explaining why he had come. “Jiang Wei called me over and said that he wants me to write a prenuptial agreement for him.”
