Chapter 1676: The Marriage Certificate
Qin Shuhua never expected Old Captain Li to already know about it, so she was taken aback. In a voice that carried her disbelief, she said, “Dad, she’s a woman who’s been with another man before! How could you…”
How could he accept that?
But the woman in question was right there. Qin Shuhua couldn’t bring herself to finish the question in front of her.
Before the words could leave her mouth, she quickly changed them and said, “The lady does have very good qualities, but our family is pure and n.o.ble. This woman has a police record. If this were to get out…”
“Police record?” Indeed, Old Captain Li knew nothing of this.
He looked at Li Jinnan with a stern expression.
Li Jinnan thought about it for a moment. With a gentle cough, he proceeded to explain, “This is what happened…”
Li Jinnan recounted the whole situation in great detail. The old man was silent as he listened. Qin Shuhua had already heard Li Jinnan repeat the story a few times, hence, she remained indifferent.
When Li Jinnan saw Qin Shuhua’s expression, he added another nail to the coffin and said, “In any case, we are already expecting a child. The whole situation was just a huge misunderstanding, and Youyou was only in there for a couple of days. This grandchild of yours has already grown this big. If we were to abort it now, we will suffer from retribution. Furthermore, I’m already this old. It wasn’t easy for me to finally find someone I liked. Are you willing to have me be single again?”
The children of the Li family had always maintained their integrity.
None of the three brothers was the sort to fool around outside.
Qin Shuhua knew that the only reason Ye Youyou was pregnant was that her son truly liked the lady.
Furthermore, seeing her son getting older, she couldn’t bear for him to be single either.
But the qualities of this woman were too low…
Old Captain was clearly in deep thought. He straightened his expression and glared at his grandson as he asked, “What does your father say?”
“Father said to leave everything to you, Grandfather.”
Of course, those were Li Jinnan’s own words.
It was impossible for Li Xiao to say something like that.
The old man knew there and then that this rascal had placed all his money on him.
With a harrumph, he waved his hand and said, “Tell your dad to discuss the wedding with her family. Hasten the ceremony and get your marriage certificates soon. The kid isn’t going to wait for you.”
Ye Youyou had never expected Old Captain Li to agree to it so readily. She was taken aback and jerked her head up to look at him.
Qin Shuhua was unhappy and called out in protest, “Dad…”
“Wasn’t it said that the decision would be left to me?” Old Captain Li gave the first offense as the best defense. He looked at Qin Shuhua with a stern expression.
Qin Shuhua’s expression was ugly as she called out again, “Dad…”
Old Captain grew upset and exclaimed, “Lies! They are all just empty words!”
“I…” Qin Shuhua was about to say something else when Li Jinnan interrupted her.
Li Jinnan looked elated as he laughingly declared, “Thank you, Grandfather!”
However, Ye Youyou grew very uneasy and instinctively glanced at Qin Shuhua.
She realized that Qin Shuhua was staring right back at her with a complicated expression.
Ye Youyou got a huge fright and quickly looked down, not daring to meet her eye again.
“Take it out,” Li Jinnan instructed gently as he looked at her.
Ye Youyou blinked her eyes and timidly said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea…”
Li Jinnan reached over on his own and pulled Ye Youyou’s bag over. Just as quickly, he took two red booklets out.
The words “Marriage Certificate” were brightly embossed in gold on the cover. When Qin Shuhua saw it, she stomped her foot in anger.
She got up immediately and headed straight in the direction of her bedroom.
It was obvious that she was unhappy.
“Ha! That was pretty quick of you!” Old Captain Li flipped through the marriage certificate and remarked, “You’ve angered your mother.”
“It’ll be fine. She’ll come to terms with it sooner or later. Didn’t she also disapprove of Second Sister-in-law in the beginning?”
