After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

The two elders exchanged a knowing glance.

Then, Jiang Jianping said solemnly, "Xiao Ran, tell Dad honestly, are you still not over Qin Yiyao?"

"The Qin family went too far, and Yao Yao is so ambitious. Our two families do have different views, but you didn't need to get married out of spite, did you?"

Lin Sufang murmured along, looking at Jiang Ran with a face full of heartache.

"We've all been through this, so just be honest about whether it works out or not. Your parents are just worried about you, that's why they keep urging you to go on blind dates..."

Seeing her parents starting to chatter on and on, Jiang Ran quickly interrupted them!

"Dad, Mom!"

He called out and pulled out his marriage certificate from his pocket, explaining, "I'm not lying to you. I've already registered my marriage with her. They've even prepared the wedding house and want me to move in as soon as possible, so don't bother!"

The Jiang family elders: "..."

Jiang Jianping took the marriage certificate from Jiang Ran and carefully checked it over and over again with Lin Sufang.

After confirming that it was not a counterfeit, Lin Sufang suddenly pulled Jiang Jianping, "Old man, come with me."

As she spoke, she turned to Jiang Ran and instructed, "Ran, you should load your things into the car first. Your dad will drive you there later!"

Seeing the two elders acting mysteriously, Jiang Ran was curious, but mostly relieved!

Fortunately, his parents are resilient.

He just hadn't expected that his parents' rush to set him up on blind dates these past few days was because they felt he hadn't moved on from his previous relationship...

Ugh.

Although she sighed, a warm feeling welled up in Jiang Ran's heart.

Without thinking twice, he went straight into the house and started carrying things downstairs, one trip at a time.

Not knowing if Wen Ling had prepared all the necessary items for the wedding room, Jiang Ran simply stuffed all the bed sheets and duvet covers into her suitcase.

Just like the day I registered for university, I stuffed my laptop, a few changes of clothes, and toiletries into the bag.

Just as Jiang Ran finished moving the last load and was about to go back to the house, Jiang Jianping came out of the yard carrying a schoolbag that was stuffed full.

"Even though the girl doesn't want a dowry, we can't just go empty-handed, can we?"

Chen Sufang, who followed her out, smiled and pointed to the schoolbag, saying, "This is the dowry money your dad and I saved for you. It's not much, 20 yuan, which is the normal price around here. Take it with you and give it to the girl!"

"Oh, right, Mom also prepared three gold items for you, they're in the bag too. Even though we haven't had the wedding banquet yet, we have all the necessary things..."

"Yes, Xiaoran, Dad also has to remind you that we boys need to be upright and responsible. You should take good care of the girls. What's that saying again? Spoiling your wife will bring you wealth!"

With one hand slung over his shoulder, Jiang Jianping started rambling on.

Listening to the two elders' nagging and thinking about the agreement between him and Wen Ling, Jiang Ran, unable to explain, could only nod reluctantly.

"Alright!"

Jiang Jianping waved his hand and patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder: "Come on, get in the car, Dad will take you there!"

Behind her, Lin Sufang kept talking, but her eyes unconsciously reddened.

She sniffled, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "Son, why don't you eat before you go? Mom made dumplings today..."

Given this situation, coupled with her parents' earlier instructions, without that "son," it would practically be like sending their daughter off to her wedding...

Jiang Ran's lips twitched; he couldn't hold back any longer. "Mom! Don't cry! Beijing is so close to home. I can be back in 30 minutes by high-speed rail. Just pretend I'm going to university!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jianping clicked his tongue. "While that makes sense, you can't say it like that! Today is, after all, your big day getting your marriage certificate. Honey, you can't afford to cry!"

Lin Sufang moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something more, but the next second, a sharp and sarcastic female voice rang out from the gate of the compound!

"Oh, so your son finally found a job?"

Jiang Ran turned his head and saw a white car slowly stop. Through the rolled-down window, Qin Yiyao's mother, Wu Qin, had a sarcastic and bitter expression on her face.

"Go away, what's it to you!"

Lin Sufang, who had just managed to squeeze out two tears, instantly became alarmed, strode forward, pointed at Wu Qin, and cursed, "You're not welcome in my house, get out of here!"

"Pshaw, you might welcome me but I still won't come! You've wasted so many years of my daughter's time, and you're nothing!"

Wu Qin spat out the car window and gave Jiang Ran's Wuling Hongguang a disdainful look.

Then, pointing proudly to her car, she said, "See this? This is the ZMI SU7 that my Yaoyao bought for us!"

"You guys don't know, do you? This car requires a waiting list and reservation. If it weren't for my Yao Yao's talent, we wouldn't have been able to get one!"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Lin Sufang grab a broom from the yard and rush over—

As if afraid that her precious new car would get dirty, Wu Qin quickly closed the car window and signaled the old man in the driver's seat to drive away.

The car sped away, leaving Lin Sufang red-faced with anger!

"What kind of person is she! When Qin Yiyao was in school, we sometimes gave her living expenses. Now that she's gained power, she turns her back on us. I must have been blind!"

Compared to her angry mother, Jiang Ran was quite calm.

As far as he knew, Qin Yiyao had only been interning at the company for a little over a year. Although her internship salary was quite high, buying a car, especially a brand new Zimi...

Based on his understanding of Qin Yiyao, he figured she'd probably need a loan.

Or maybe he's dating someone, and it was a gift from someone else...

However, no matter what, it's none of his business anymore.

"Ranran, Dad knows you're upset, but let bygones be bygones. You've already registered your marriage with Miss Wen, so don't dwell on it!"

Seeing that Jiang Ran was silent, Jiang Jianping assumed that his son had been hurt and offered words of comfort.

"Yes, our family has done nothing wrong, let them say what they want. Your parents just want you to be happy!"

After calming down, Chen Sufang looked at Jiang Ran with a pained expression.

Hearing this, Jiang Ran felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He smiled and said, "It's alright, Dad, Mom, don't worry. I know that sunk costs shouldn't be involved in major decisions!"

Although the two elders didn't quite understand, seeing the smile on Jiang Ran's face, they also showed expressions of relief.

After loading everything into the car, Jiang Ran waved to his mother outside the window. Then, Jiang Jianping stepped on the gas and started the car.

On the way, Jiang Ran opened Wen Lingfa's address without looking at it in detail and directly turned on the navigation mode.

However, when they heard the destination "Junlan Mansion Villa Area", the father and son in the car were stunned!

"What the heck?! A villa district?!"

Jiang Jianping exclaimed in surprise, almost slipping and driving the car into the ditch!

Jiang Ran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also completely dumbfounded!

No, Wen Ling never told him that the wedding room was in Junlan Mansion!

You should know that a square meter of ordinary apartment in Beijing costs at least 100,000 yuan, not to mention villas, which are simply astronomical!

In fact, this is a villa in Junlan Mansion...

Having lived in Beijing for over four years, Jiang Ran had only heard that the people living in this villa district were all extremely wealthy and powerful, with a single villa costing hundreds of millions...

Money is not a problem!

"My lawyer will be coming to do the prenuptial agreement in the next few days."

"..."

A cold yet powerful voice popped into Jiang Ran's mind, and she instantly understood the meaning of those words.

This woman really never utters a single unnecessary word...

"Son, pinch your dad's arm! Am I dreaming?"

"Dad, why don't you just pinch me with your bare hand first... I also feel like I'm dreaming..."
