Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Han Yue gestured for Yan Zhun to go outside and talk. Upon receiving Han Yue's gaze, Yan Zhun immediately stood up. He really didn't like this kind of occasion; it was too formal.

They couldn't even get a word in edgewise; their main purpose was just to fill the seats.

When Su Xue got married, Yan Feifei and Lan Yunxi were both bridesmaids. The two got along quite well, as they were both talkative and cheerful, and could chat easily.

Seeing her brother leave, Yan Feifei also wanted to slip away, but she needed a reason, so she placed her hopes on Lan Yunxi. "Mom, I'll take Xixi upstairs to play for a while, you two chat."

The strict mother had no time to care about her youngest daughter; she just wanted her to stay away and dismissed her perfunctorily, "Go on, go on, have fun."

Having received permission, Yan Feifei waved to Xixi, signaling her to go upstairs to play. Lan Yunxi said to Shen Muyun beside her, "Mom, I'm going to play with Feifei."

Shen Muyun smiled slightly and said softly, "Go ahead, don't make a fuss."

"understood."

Yan's mother watched the interaction between the two women and was deeply moved by how gentle and tender the woman was. Compared to her, Yan's mother felt that she should be considered one of the men.

However, it would be difficult to make such a woman angry. Nana is not worried about the relationship between her and her mother-in-law after she marries into the family, because her future mother-in-law is too gentle.

Seeing that the children had all left, leaving only the elders, Han's mother asked directly, "Did Xiaona say that Yunchen is a professor?"

The mother nodded. "Ah, Nana said so. She said it's a professor, isn't it?"

They were still puzzled about how the misunderstanding came about; probably only the parties involved knew. Lan Chumu explained with a smile, "Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan, Yunchen is currently the president of the company. We have our own company in Lancheng, and he is basically in charge of managing it. He probably doesn't have time to be a professor at the university. There must be some misunderstanding."

Strict father: "............." The difference between the professor and the boss is too big.

Even Yan's mother was stunned. If he wasn't a professor, then where did this professor come from? Surely her daughter wasn't hiding another boyfriend.

Probably not. My daughter isn't the type to be fickle. There must be some misunderstanding they don't know about.

Fearing it might be the latter, the strict mother asked again, "Are you sure it's not the professor?"

Shen Muyun and Lan Chumu nodded in unison, their expressions very certain. Their son's academic qualifications were indeed excellent, but he was not a professor. Lan Yunchen had never intended to be a teacher since he was a child.

Seeing that the Yan couple were somewhat shocked, Lan Chumu politely said, "Professor, there must be some misunderstanding about this matter. The two children should know the truth themselves. Some things will become clear when they return to Beijing. We can wait a little longer. Mr. and Mrs. Yan, please feel free to make any requests or suggestions regarding this marriage. We will try our best to meet them. Before coming here, Yunchen repeatedly told me not to be stingy, fearing that he might mistreat Yan Na. It's clear that Yunchen really likes Yan Na."

Composing herself, the strict mother smiled more broadly, "As long as the two children like each other, there are no other requirements."

When Yan's mother heard from the Lan family that Yunchen liked her daughter and was eager to arrange a marriage, she was overjoyed.

Mr. Han was also in a good mood. He patted his thigh, sat up straight, and said to Mr. Yan, "Old Yan, tell me, my in-laws are so straightforward, we can't be awkward. We were going to be straightforward when Xiao Yue got engaged too."

Upon hearing this, he was glared at by his father and was genuinely taken aback. His daughter had just gone abroad, and while she was still overseas, the other party's parents had already come to propose marriage. "Mr. Lan, Mrs. Lan, we don't object to this marriage. As my wife said, it's fine as long as the two children like each other. The Han family should know Nana's personality. This child has always been very opinionated, and it's very difficult for us to change her decisions. Therefore, we need to discuss the betrothal gifts with our daughter."

The strict father understood his daughter; he disliked arranged marriages, marriages involving financial interests, and comparisons, so he dared not arbitrarily set the betrothal gifts.

With that said, the Lan family understood. They could only say that the child had his own ideas, but they still had to state their position on behalf of their son. "That's fine, but since we're here today, we still need to help Yunchen get things done. The two children were notified in a hurry, so our preparations weren't comprehensive. This list is something we made on the spot. You can keep it for now. The gift list is for good luck with 88 gifts. You can take a look and if you feel there's anything inappropriate, you can modify or add something now."

"We shouldn't focus on the numbers or the material things. We're just sending these to show our feelings and to show that Yan Na deserves them."

Han's father added fuel to the fire: "Keep it. Chu Mu just doesn't want to mistreat your Xiao Na. From now on, we're all family. We're straightforward. You can keep this order. This marriage is settled. There's nothing we can do if you don't agree. They're already together in Lancheng. Maybe when they come back, they'll bring you a granddaughter or grandson. Haha, right, Lao Yan? You should thank me now. Remember to give me a red envelope."

Mr. Han, who was feeling smug, was patted on the shoulder by his mother and turned around. "It's all for the child. Keep Lao Yan's list for now. We can show it to Xiao Na later. Today, we mainly want to finalize this matter. We can discuss the betrothal gifts later."

With the help of the Han family, the strict father had no choice but to accept it and let his daughter see it. Luckily, what was delivered today was a gift list, not 88 actual betrothal gifts, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.

"Okay, I'll keep the things for now." Just like Old Han said, they had no choice but to agree; their daughter was already living abroad with them.

Plus, my wife really likes that other guy's son and has been urging him to have him several times, so now her wish has come true.

Sure enough, when Mother Yan saw that things were settled, she was overjoyed. She had been worried about what to do with the betrothal gifts, but now that they said the betrothal gifts could be put aside for now and adjusted at any time, things were much easier. They could settle the marriage first and then prepare the dowry later. "Let me tell you, your son is really handsome. He's exactly my ideal son-in-law. Come on, have some food."

The mother greeted them with a smile, but the father was still a little reluctant to part with them. He had been urging his daughter to get married, but now that the marriage was actually arranged, he felt reluctant to let her go.

Seeing the constipated look on his father's face, Han's father comforted him, "Don't be reluctant. Look at our Guoguo, she's pregnant, but she comes home every few days, just like she's not married. She can even come home in the middle of the night. I also have another son. He's very obedient and filial, and he'll do whatever I ask."

Han's mother sighed, rubbing her forehead. This guy was showing off wherever he went. He usually acted like a father-in-law to Su Yu, but this time he was praising him without reservation.

The strict father thought, "Can they be the same? One is in Blue City, and the other is in the capital. It's no wonder he can't come back in the middle of the night. From now on, he'll probably only be able to come back during holidays. And the company will also be a problem in the future."

Lan Chumu naturally saw the worry in his father's eyes. "Yunchen will solve the problem of being separated from his wife. He will also take care of the company's affairs. You can rest assured about that. Yunchen has considered everything."

Upon hearing this, Yan's mother's eyes lit up. This son-in-law was truly thoughtful; he had resolved all the follow-up issues. No wonder the two had arranged for their parents to come and propose marriage even while they were still abroad.

I guess the daughter is afraid her son-in-law will run away, and now she's getting anxious. If she had listened to her earlier, she wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Inside the courtyard, Han Yue and Yan Zhun were smoking. Yan Zhun looked utterly bewildered, taking a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaling a smoke ring. "You bastard, you were asking around in the middle of the night about why my sister isn't getting married just to help your brother-in-law and find a breakthrough?"

The cigarette between Han Yue's fingers had burned out. He threw it on the ground, stomped on it, and said, "Remember to sweep the floor. No matter how good the company is, at least take responsibility for cleaning at home."

"You've been so free lately, you've even taken on the role of matchmaker," Yan Zhun teased, taking another drag of his cigarette in frustration.

Han Yue didn't hide the fact that he was indeed trying to matchmake Lan Yunchen and Yan Na, and that he had put in a lot of effort to help. "People should know how to repay kindness. The matchmaker helped me, so I should help him achieve his goals."

Yan Zhun: "............"

"Next time the Matchmaker is short on sales, I might consider arranging something for you. You're welcome."

After saying that, Han Yue kindly gave Yan Zhun a suggestion: "If you don't want to manage the company, you can cling to your future brother-in-law's coattails, and you'll win without lifting a finger."

Yan Zhun: "Can you speak in a way that I can understand? Can we have a proper conversation?"

Han Yue: "That's why you're single; your reading comprehension is too weak."

Yan Zhun seriously suspected that this guy wasn't there to advise him, but to show off.

Upstairs, Yan Feifei brought Lan Yunxi to her room and warmly invited her to visit her boudoir.

Yan Feifei's room was similar to Lan Yunxi's, probably because they were of similar age. Both beds were covered with plush toys, with small animal dolls piled up on both sides, leaving only one empty space in the middle.

A small round glass table stood in the center of the room, and the rug had a Pikachu pattern; it was very cute. The jigsaw puzzle palace on the table caught Lan Yunxi's eye. "You like this too?"

"Hmm, you mean this jigsaw puzzle?" Yan Feifei picked up a piece of the puzzle from the table and asked.

"I have one exactly the same, and I'm almost finished putting it together." I should have finished it a long time ago, but I've been too busy with my minor and major courses and haven't had time to put it together.

Yan Feifei put down the pieces she was piecing together. She didn't like them. She had been slacking off these past few days since Yan Na hadn't been around, and no one was watching her practice her patience.

He shook his head. "I don't like it. This is something my sister likes. Every time I make a mistake, she makes me practice patience and forces me to calm down and think about where I went wrong. It's just torture for me."

Lan Yunxi: This fragment has this function? That's quite ingenious.

"So you pieced this all together yourself?"

"Yeah, that's right. Whenever I make a mistake, my sister makes me put this together. Now, just looking at this thing gives me a headache. The aftereffects of finishing it are seeing stars and seeing golden light in front of my eyes. I feel like I'm going to ascend to heaven."

Lan Yunxi was overjoyed to hear this; the analogy was brilliant. The two chatted back and forth. She hadn't expected her future sister-in-law to also enjoy assembling these things. Judging from that, she must be an extremely patient person.
