After everyone finished laughing, Zhou Lan added: "Old Ming and I have one son, and Mingrui is also the only heir to the Ming family. The Ming family hasn't had a happy event in many years. Mingrui's marriage will definitely be a decent one, and your daughter will do it even better." Marry well."
"Don't worry, my mother-in-law. Other groom's families may argue with the girl over small matters such as betrothal gifts and cars and houses. I promise, our Ming family won't. Just speak up, I'm afraid you are thin-skinned and don't understand what's going on. It's polite, and I'm embarrassed to ask for it, so I should say it upfront."
Li Zijuan's face darkened and she felt angry.
What do you mean by "little money matters" and "thin-skinned, embarrassed to ask for it"?
You still don’t understand etiquette!
Is it because she is afraid that since she has never seen the world, the betrothal gift she wants will be too small, and she will lose the face of the Ming family?
When Feng Xuexiang heard this, he gave a thumbs up and exclaimed:
"As expected, the Acropolis still depends on the Ming family. Director Ming and Director Zhou are very grand and grand. Lao Xu is really lucky. Meeting an in-law like you is enviable."
"Brother and sister, you are a sensible person. In my opinion, the issues mentioned by Director Ming and Director Zhou are not problems at all. You will definitely not care."
Everyone looked at Li Zijuan. She looked around at everyone, forced a smile, and spoke softly and forcefully:
"There's nothing to argue about. However, Director Ming, Director Zhou, we haven't even mentioned the children's affairs yet. We really don't call them in-laws, and it's not our turn to understand your filial piety. Money is important." , but our Xu family’s main purpose in marrying a girl is to marry someone else.”
"Today you proposed marriage. We know how much you like my daughter. But whether you agree or not, my Lao Xu and I will go back and discuss it with my daughter before I get back to you."
"After all, as the old saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. The rich and powerful man that everyone is vying for may not necessarily be the right groom for my daughter. The son-in-law that my Xu family wants, you Say yes, Cheng?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became subtle.
Especially Zhou Lan, who had never shown any obvious emotions on his face, suddenly showed a little displeasure.
Ming Huaizhi's face was calm and approachable, but his eyes were cold.
Director Chen and Feng Xuexiang watched carefully, turned their attention to Xu Cheng, and winked at him.
Xu Cheng glanced at them and looked at Li Zijuan.
Li Zijuan's eyes were firm.
Xu Cheng quietly pinched her hand on his knee, looked at her directly, and said with a smile: "Zijuan is right, we have such a precious daughter in our family, her marriage must be carefully considered, and we can't just think about it." Pictures of this and that, whatever suits her, is the best."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ming Huaizhi and Zhou Lan and said apologetically:
"Director Ming, Director Zhou, please allow my wife and I to consider it for a few days. After we have considered it, I will tell Director Chen and Principal Feng the final decision and ask them to convey it to them."
Ming Huaiyuan and Zhou Lan were silent, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.
Feng Xuexiang wanted to persuade Xu Cheng a few words, but Director Chen stopped him and signaled him to stop talking. Then, Director Chen broke the silence and greeted him warmly:
"Director Ming and Director Zhou, you two don't have daughters, so you may not understand the feelings of parents who have daughters. I have the right to speak on this point. When my daughter talked about marriage, Lao Xu and I had exactly the same idea and had many concerns. I'm afraid of this and that. Lao Xu wants to think about it for a few days, it's normal, it's normal."
"However, Lao Xu, I would like to remind you that Mingrui really has no choice as a son-in-law, let alone the in-laws of the Ming family. You have to think carefully. I will give you three days. After three days, give it to me or Lao Feng replied, and that’s it.”
"Director Ming, Director Zhou, do you think my arrangement is okay?"
Ming Huaiyuan's eyes became warm again, "Old Chen is right, I was the one who was rude, so just do as Old Chen said."
Director Chen looked at Xu Cheng and said, "Old Xu, it will be in three days."
Xu Cheng nodded happily, "Okay, in three days."
The meal that followed was a bit unpleasant, especially Zhou Lan, who barely moved her chopsticks. Li Zijuan also took the initiative to let her go, but she reluctantly raised her lips and maintained the surface politeness.
After leaving the Little Red Building, it was just after nine o'clock, the streets were brightly lit, and the area around the Drum Tower was bustling with people.
The driver of the Ming family's car had been waiting downstairs for a long time. Everyone watched them get into the car and leave.
After asking whether Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan came by taxi, Feng Xuexiang asked them to take his car and he drove them back.
After saying goodbye to Director Chen, Feng Xuexiang began to persuade Xu Cheng as soon as the car started.
"Old Xu, it's understandable that the girl's family would like to ask for some money, but don't overdo it. Such a good marriage is something that no one else can ask for. Don't make it too late. In three days, you and your siblings should be able to give it to you. I have good news, don’t make it difficult for me as a matchmaker.”
"When you become the vice-principal, your daughter will marry into the Ming family. It's a double happiness. Why not?"
After Feng Xuexiang finished speaking, Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan remained silent. He glanced at them through the rearview mirror and saw that their expressions were wrong, and continued:
"Lao Xu, let me tell you, Lao Wang squeezed you in front of all the faculty and staff today, and even pushed you down and kowtowed. How can you tolerate this? Just now, if you had done it in front of Director Ming and Director Zhou He nodded, tomorrow everyone will know that you are married to the Ming family, why won’t Lao Wang’s face be slapped? Isn’t it time for you to avenge the beating? "
When Li Zijuan heard this, she quickly pulled up Xu Cheng's head, "A Cheng, where did you hit your head? Are you injured? Why didn't you tell me? If I had known earlier, I would have sent you to the hospital first. , It doesn’t matter if I pushed forward the Ming family’s proposal of marriage tonight.”
After confirming that Xu Cheng was fine, Li Zijuan felt relieved.
To her, her children are not as important as Xu Cheng, he is her biggest support in life.
Feng Xuexiang looked at the front of the car, took a deep breath, his face darkened, and he said no more.
A woman with long hair and short experience had no idea that she had encountered such incredible wealth.
Even though Ming Huaiyuan is now relegated to the second line and Zhou Lan has retired for two years, this does not affect the strength of the Ming family at all.
There are still many things about the Ming family that make people eye-catching.
As soon as she entered the unit door, Li Zijuan went upstairs and said:
"A-Cheng, I can tell. On the surface, these two couples are so polite and courteous that you can't fault them. But deep down, they are still aloof. A family like ours can't stand in their eyes at all. Girl We’d better discuss this relationship in the long term, I’m afraid…”
"Old Wu! Why are you sitting in front of my house? The ground is so cold, get up quickly!"
Li Zijuan's words were interrupted by Xu Cheng, and when she took a closer look, she saw Lao Wu sitting on the cement steps at the door, his eyes bloodshot and empty.
Hearing Xu Cheng's words, Old Wu looked at him, blinked slowly, supported the wall, struggled to stand up, and rubbed his face with both hands, "Old Xu, I haven't slept for a few days."
Xu Cheng quickly opened the door, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it inside."
