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

at that time.

While people on one side were taking a nap, things were in an uproar on the other side because Su Yu had come home late from get off work last night and hadn't shared Yan Zhun's story with Guo Guo right away.

I didn't share it until after I woke up in the morning. After hearing it, Guoguo was so happy that she said she hadn't heard any big gossip in a long time. With the idea that sharing is worse than keeping it to yourself, she started sharing.

Before having breakfast, I shared this information with Su Xue, Tang Junyao, and Lan Yunxi.

Su Xue was extremely surprised when she received the message. She kept sending Guo Guo question marks, sending eight in a row: "No, am I isolated from the world? Why don't I know?"

Tang Junyao already knew, so it wasn't surprising. Yesterday, Ji Hancheng shared this with her as soon as he got home, replying to Guoguo: Yesterday, Yan Zhun not only met Su Yu, but also our Hancheng.

After reading Yao Yao's message, Guo Guo realized that so many people already knew, but thankfully she wasn't the last to find out.

Guoguo replied to Su Xue: I just found out too. Aren't you surprised? Yan Zhun has actually fallen in love. He's been a bachelor for ages.

Lan Yunxi: I ran into him when I was having late-night snacks with Yue Ge, but Yan Zhun and Xiao Ni Jie should have just started dating at that time, so I didn't dare to say anything.

Guoguo replied to Lan Yunxi: Goodness, it's been so long.

When Yan Zhun woke up, he saw a barrage of messages from Lu Jinnan in the Men's Gang group chat. He silently counted 28 messages, all sent by Lu Jinnan alone, with Han Yue and Ji Hancheng teasing him below.

Yan Zhun didn't want to reply to a single one. How could these people not care about him? Imagine what it's like to have a group of friends who care about you. Their concern is genuine, and their teasing is genuine too. It's impossible for him to keep a low profile.

Yan Zhun is a very methodical person. He told Feng Xiaoni he would be responsible in the morning, and by evening he had made arrangements and brought her home for dinner.

The happiest people that night were Yan's mother and Yan Feifei. Yan's mother couldn't stop smiling, while Yan Feifei kept chattering away happily.

The strict father was also happy, greeting Feng Xiaoni warmly and telling her not to be shy.

"Come on, Xiao Ni, don't be shy, eat up. Make yourself at home. It's a blessing for the Yan family that you've taken a liking to our Xiao Zhun."

Feng Xiaoni personally experienced what Yan Na had said about her younger brother's low status in the family. It turned out to be true. "Auntie, A-Zhun is very nice."

Yan Mule's eyes narrowed into slits as she nodded repeatedly, her gaze fixed on Feng Xiaoni, scrutinizing her closely. She was extremely satisfied. "If you think it's good, then eat up, don't be shy."

Yan Feifei would occasionally look up at her sister-in-law and brother, finding them a perfect match. Her brother was quite capable, having even won over President Feng; he would get scolded less in the future.

Little did people know that Feng Xiaoni kept her work and private life very separate, and the exception was only made for Yan Zhun. If she made a mistake at the company, she would still be criticized.

Mrs. Yan took a bite of rice, feeling it would be hard to keep her words to herself. "Little girl, Auntie has something to tell you. It might seem a bit early for you, but this is our Yan family rule, a rule set by our ancestors. Men must take full responsibility for what they do. The Yan family doesn't produce scumbags, you understand?"

Yan Feifei: Did the term "scumbag" even exist in ancient times? Could their ancestors in the Yan family have set family rules that were ahead of their time?

Feng Xiaoni seemed to understand Aunt Yan's words, and Yan Zhun was also waiting for Feng Xiaoni's answer, "Auntie, are you trying to talk about our marriage?"

The mother nodded, liking her future daughter-in-law's clarity and quick understanding. She was a strong woman, and she spoke effortlessly, unlike her son who could talk to his daughter for a long time without getting to the point.

Feng Xiaoni put down her chopsticks, a move that made everyone present tense. The next second, she smiled slightly and said politely, "I've already told my parents about Ah Zhun and me today."

After she finished speaking, Mother Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Does your in-laws object?" If they objected, she would have to go and talk to them in person.

Feng Xiaoni shook her head, indicating that she did not object. The Feng couple had very low requirements; they only wanted their daughter to be happy.

As the head of the family, the strict father had to make his stance clear at this time. Besides being the future daughter-in-law, Feng Xiaoni was also a manager in the company. "Xiaoni, ask your parents when would be a good time. Your aunt and I will go and pay them a visit."

Feng Xiaoni: "Okay, Uncle."

After the meal, Feng Xiaoni politely said goodbye to the Yan couple. Yan Zhun followed Feng Xiaoni without hesitation. Having eaten meat once, Yan Zhun didn't want to be alone in an empty house, so he happily followed Feng Xiaoni to another villa.

The strict mother was actually hoping her son wouldn't come home, so that a grandson or granddaughter could come out. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep at night.

a few days later.

The Yan couple followed Feng Xiaoni and Yan Zhun to Lancheng to visit the Feng couple. The Feng couple were honest, hardworking and down-to-earth people.

While the Yan family couple were discussing the wedding, Yan Na and Lan Yunchen also rushed over. The group sat in a living room to discuss the wedding arrangements.

The Feng couple had heard their daughter talk about the Yan family's wealth before, and at the time they felt that their family was marrying above their station. But when they saw the Yan family members, their worries were relieved.

Mr. Feng: "Our Xiaoni is someone we've raised with our own hands. As you probably know, we were originally from Beijing, but our house wasn't in the city center. My wife and I were worried about Xiaoni going to school and working alone, so we moved around with her. Finally, we moved to Blue City. We only have one thought in mind: if Xiaoni is doing well, then we are doing well."

"There is a gap between our Feng family and the Yan family in terms of family background. If one day you feel that Xiao Ni is not good enough for your family, please tell us in advance. She is the apple of our eye, and we will not tolerate others looking down on her."

Feng Xiaoni turned her head, suppressing her bitterness. Over the years, her parents had moved with her, moving from one city to another, always reluctant to let her live at school, afraid that she wouldn't eat well or take good care of herself.

Yan Zhun noticed the woman's emotions and put his arm around her shoulder. Yan's mother gestured for her simple-minded son to speak up. Yan Zhun said, "Uncle and Aunt, nothing like what you said will happen. If one day someone is really going to be disliked, then that person will not be Xiao Ni, but me."

Everyone laughed when he said that.

Yan Na: "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry. My parents don't care about social status. The balance in Xiao Zhun's bank account is not even as much as Xiao Ni's. How can it be considered that he is marrying up? At most, it's Xiao Ni who lowered her standards to marry my silly younger brother."

The Feng couple liked the Yan family very much. They got along well without any beating around the bush, and the promises they made were very sincere. They didn't just throw money at them from the start; they always asked for their opinions and were very respectful.

Lan Yunchen, dressed in a suit and tie, sat upright on the sofa and said gently, "Uncle, Aunt, would you mind telling me about your customs? What should we do? If Xiao Zhun wants to marry Xiao Ni, he has to follow your customs."

Yan's mother looked at her son-in-law with questioning eyes, while Lan Yunchen gave her a reassuring look, fearing that his mother-in-law might come up and throw out a dowry of tens or hundreds of millions, which would scare the Feng couple.

Mrs. Feng chuckled, "There aren't any special customs, just some old rules passed down from the previous generation."

Lan Yunchen remained smiling, gentle, and polite, which put people at ease. Yan Na, sitting next to him, instantly understood and smiled faintly as well, "Auntie, please tell me."

Mother Feng: "In our village, it's like this: if two children like each other and plan to get married, they need to choose two days, one for the engagement and marriage registration, and the other for the wedding. On the engagement day, the groom's family has to send betrothal gifts, such as quilts, cashmere sweaters, and hardware, which are stuffed into a box and delivered to the bride's house. Once the bride's family accepts the marriage, it's considered settled. The engagement day is also the day for marriage registration. On the same day, they choose an auspicious wedding day. On the wedding day, you need to send a sheep and a few fish. That's about it. We don't have any other relatives. Her grandparents and maternal grandparents passed away early."

Everyone laughed. The mother-in-law asked, "Then, in-laws, how much is the betrothal gift?"

Mr. Feng: "Let's do it according to our custom, 88,000, for good luck, what do you think?"

The strict father disagreed, feeling that Xiao Ni was being treated unfairly. He argued that the initial wedding gift was far more than that, and that the initial wedding gifts for the Ji and Han families were many times greater. "In-laws," he said, "look, Xiao Ni has to manage our company's affairs even after marrying into the Yan family. This burden is really on her shoulders. I think this amount is a bit stingy. Let's compromise. How about 888 million?"

Mr. Feng hurriedly waved his hand, shocked by the number. How could it be so much? This was marrying off his daughter, not selling her. After persuasion from Lan Yunchen and Yan Na, Mr. and Mrs. Feng finally agreed.

After the betrothal gifts were settled, Lan Yunchen began to help with the arrangements. "Uncle Feng, you see, now that Xiao Ni and Xiao Zhun's marriage is settled, she will definitely be based in the capital. Do you plan to stay here or go to the capital with Xiao Ni? My suggestion is that you go to the capital. Xiao Ni will definitely need your help after she has a child. However, if you like working at Lan's, I will arrange for you to work at my sister's base. They are short of people there, so I will feel at ease if you go. You can also help me keep an eye on my sister."

Upon hearing this, the Feng couple naturally thought it was a good idea and readily agreed, as they had come to Blue City specifically for their daughter.

Their daughter has returned to the capital, so what are the two elderly people doing staying here?

After the marriage was settled, Feng Xiaoni and Yan Zhun stayed at the Feng family home, while the Yan couple went to the Lan family manor with Lan Yunchen. The couple missed their grandson.

The next day, Feng Xiaoni also went to the Lan family manor and brought a gift.

Lan Yunchen informed Feng Xiaoni that he had transferred ownership of the house she was currently living in to her name as a wedding gift. Feng Xiaoni refused, and Yan Na said that Dong Qiao would receive the same gift when she got married.

A few days later, Yan's father bought a house next to the base. It was an apartment, because he was afraid that the Feng couple would not accept it if he bought a villa. After handing the keys to his daughter-in-law, Feng Xiaoni took her parents there. Yan Zhun arranged for people to renovate the apartment that Lan Yunchen had given them, so that it would be their wedding home.

With everything settled, following the Feng family's customs, Yan's mother chose an auspicious day to deliver the betrothal gifts to the newly purchased apartment, which was registered under Feng Xiaoni's name. Yan Zhun and Feng Xiaoni registered their marriage that very day.

Yan's father could finally turn the tables. When Yan Zhun returned home after getting the marriage certificate, Yan's father asked Yan Zhun to show him the marriage certificate. As a result, Yan's father took a picture of the photo and sent it to Han's father: Remember to prepare the wedding gift money.

Yan Zhun and Feng Xiaoni could only look at the stern-faced chairman with amusement. It turned out that everyone had a childish side, they just didn't show it on ordinary days, or they didn't show it in front of outsiders.

When Han's father received the message, he was also defiant: "The money I gave as a wedding gift has already accrued interest, and you're only now becoming a father-in-law. I've been a grandfather for a long time."

The strict father didn't even bother to reply to the message. Since he was in a good mood, Feng Xiaoni changed her address and called them Mom and Dad. The strict mother immediately gave her a red envelope for the change of address.

That night, Feng Xiaoni didn't go back to the Feng family home but stayed at the Yan family home. After getting the marriage certificate, it was considered legitimate.

The base at that time.

Han Guoguo chose to give birth at the base this time because she said she wanted to experience the feeling of giving birth in a different environment.

Lying in bed with her hand on her stomach, she asked, "Dad, did Uncle Yan say when Yan Zhun is getting married?"

Tang Junyao arranged the most luxurious ward in the base for Han Guoguo, free of charge.

Mr. Han put away his phone. "Hmph, they say it's the end of the year, and they're so smug. Grandpa hasn't even had a chance to brag about anything, has he? Little Nuonuo, let Grandpa give you a hug."

Just based on the three words "twins," Yan's father will never be able to beat Han's father in this lifetime.

Su Yu stood to the side listening to his father-in-law's boasting, which he was used to.

Han Guoguo rolled her eyes and said with certainty, "I think I'm having a girl this time."

Su Yu said softly, "Both men and women are fine." He wasn't picky.

Han's mother: "Whatever you are at birth, that's what you are."

"I'm just guessing, bro, you guess. We're free now, let's bet on it."

Han Yue glanced coldly at his sister, then held little Han Yichen in his arms, too lazy to pay her any attention. Lan Yunxi, however, gave him face and guessed, "If I said it was a boy, would we still be able to play happily together?"

Han's mother shook her head. She was such a worry. She was already pregnant and still playing gambling games. She had never seen her daughter nervous. But her son-in-law was extremely nervous.

On the sofa, Han's father had won another round and was in a great mood teasing his granddaughter, making Han Yinuo giggle.

Han Yichen has a particular fondness for his father's hair and always likes to tug at it a few times. He only lets go after his father warns him, but he does this repeatedly.
