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

One of the couple was grinning from ear to ear, while the other had a somewhat dark expression.

The group chatted and laughed until they were halfway through their meal.

Ji Hancheng rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, unhurriedly and leisurely picking up his chopsticks, in a pleasant mood. "Come on, tell me."

He was referring to the betrothal gifts.

Han Yue had almost finished eating. He always took his meals seriously and ate faster than others. He sat casually in his chair, one hand dangling lazily on the back of Xiao Xi's chair, his fingertips playing with Xiao Xi's ponytail intentionally or unintentionally. He turned to the side and raised an eyebrow at Lu Jinnan, "You can broaden your horizons, even to the three-dimensional world. Don't limit yourself. Make a good suggestion."

When Han Yue saw Lu Jinnan glance at him, he joked in a good mood, "There's no emotional debt between us. I don't love you, and you don't love me. You don't need to look at me."

He and Xiao Xi are here today to witness their nephew's wedding.

Lu Jinnan: "............." There's something wrong with him. Only Xixi would be interested in that sharp tongue of his.

The originally serious atmosphere was transformed into a lighthearted comedy routine by Han Yue's few words, making the atmosphere somewhat amusing and causing everyone present to laugh.

Su Xue maintained one attitude today: as long as the marriage could be successfully negotiated and Xiao Nan didn't jump off the building, everything was OK, and she didn't care how the others joked around.

Tang Junyao patted her son's shoulder and whispered, "Lele, if your godfather drinks too much and uses inappropriate words, automatically switch to polite ones."

"Okay, I understand."

"Yueyue, don't worry, your godfather and the others will take care of it. Eat more, you've lost weight from being so busy lately." Tang Junyao said, turning the spinning wheel in front of Yueyue with a smile on her lips.

Lu Yiyue expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, godmother."

Su Xue corrected her, feeling that her daughter's way of addressing her was incorrect, "Yueyue dropped the 'godmother' part."

Tang Junyao rolled her eyes at her, "Are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait a little while?" Really.

Su Xue was in a good mood and laughed heartily. She was the happiest person at the whole table, and her happiness was the most obvious. People who knew her would think she was getting married today because she was there to help her daughter with her marriage.

Having already figured it out, Lu Jinnan picked up a calculator and went through the motions, saying, "Alright, it would be a disservice to your family's wealth if I didn't calculate it, so I'll just do a token calculation."

Everyone was laughing. Lu Yiyue knew her father wasn't that angry, so she smiled at him. Lu Jinnan looked at his daughter with mixed feelings. After all, she was getting married. He forced an unnatural smile, feeling reluctant to let her go.

He protected his daughter for so long, only to have her snatched away by someone else. All these years, he's been paving the way for his brat, personally eliminating one rival after another. What a good father-in-law!

Lu Jinnan secretly gave himself a title: Kill the father-in-law of his love rival.

Ji Hancheng understood Lu Jinnan's temperament, so he smiled, crossed his hands, and sat upright, which was the opposite of Han Yue's posture. "Don't bother calculating, save some batteries. They're 2 yuan a cell, not cheap, and they don't last long. Just give me the numbers."

"Okay..." However, Lu Jinnan still didn't give a number, only said these two words.

After thinking for a moment and pausing for a few seconds, Lu Jinnan said in front of everyone, "I'm not that materialistic. The conditions for the marriage proposal are only for those who know when to back down."

Who would have thought that the brat would rise to the challenge and actually work hard according to his standards, one by one, like a fool. He really is rebellious, and Lu Jinnan is very satisfied with this.

Both Ji Hancheng and Han Yue knew that Lu Jinnan's publicly stated conditions for marriage were fake, but Ji Jiale was stubborn and insisted on meeting them.

As expected, Ji Jiale still hadn't given up on becoming the richest man, nor did he lower his standards just because Lu Jinnan had relaxed the conditions. He stated, "Whether the requirements you set for your son-in-law are real or not, the conditions you mentioned are what I want to give Yueyue."

Ji Jiale's good manners came from his very bones. Before raising his head, he poured Yueyue a glass of water and handed her a tissue. Meeting Lu Jinnan's gaze, he answered sincerely again, "Godfather, Godmother, I promised to give Yueyue a dowry from a billionaire. Even if the marriage is settled today, I will still carry out what needs to be done. I will not stop what I have promised halfway."

Han Yue had to give his nephew a thumbs up; he had guts, and it wasn't for nothing that he took the beating for his nephew.

As Lele's mother-in-law, Su Xue was deeply moved by her words. She took out a tissue to wipe away the tears that were about to spill from her eyes, and even sniffed dramatically.

Tang Junyao pinched the bridge of her nose and made a gesture to stop. "That's enough. Let's wrap up the filming. No auditions today, let's talk about the wedding."

Meanwhile, Lu Yiyue, who was sitting to the side, was already moved to tears, her eyes welling up with tears. She held his hand tightly under the table, expressing her answer and meaning that she would always be there for him.

As Lu Jinnan's lips parted slightly, Ji Hancheng said generously, "Since we've come this far, we should at least talk about the betrothal gifts, so I'll give you a chance to trick me."

He asked this guy to state his conditions, but he hasn't said anything since the start of the meal. Ji Hancheng would rather Lu Jinnan just state his conditions directly so he can help his son settle the marriage.

Lu Jinnan saw determination in Ji Jiale's eyes. He believed that this brat could treat Yueyue well. He had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he believed that this kid could fight for Yueyue.

Finally, to add a sense of ceremony, Lu Jinnan said 100 million, but Ji Hancheng felt it was too little, so he directly gave an auspicious number and asked Xu Mingkai to make an appointment to transfer the number 8 to Lu Jinnan's account.

Lu Jinnan did not refuse, and the marriage was considered settled.

Ji Jiale continued, "The shares under my name will also be transferred to Yueyue. The kindergarten and the airline are gifts I gave to Yueyue."

Su Xue refused, saying, "Wait a minute, Lele, I understand that you want to be good to Yueyue, I feel it too, and I believe in you. Forget about the company shares, I didn't have any shares when I married your father, right, Xiao Nan?"

Hearing his wife automatically address him as "Mom" over and over again, Lu Jinnan exchanged a glance with his wife, remained silent for a few seconds, and nodded, "Mm."

They exchanged 10 percent of their shares with each other.

Ji Hancheng smiled and said, "If you don't want our Lele to have insomnia tonight, just do what your godparents did. Copy them and transfer 10% of your shares to Yueyue's name."

Before Lu Jinnan could speak, Su Xue slapped her thigh. If this marriage was settled today, she would be able to smile in her sleep tonight. "Okay, Xiaonan, go back and transfer 10% of the shares to Lele's name. We've joined forces. Not bad, not bad. Lele, you don't need to call her godmother anymore. Just call her Mom."

Everyone: "............." Isn't this a bit too hasty? The date hasn't even been set yet.

The meal went fairly well. Lu Jinnan made 8 million in one night. He needs to go back and choose a date for the engagement so that his elders can know.

Ji Hancheng said that the engagement date and wedding arrangements would be as Lu Jinnan had suggested, as an apology for his previous deception.

After the meal, the group parted ways. The couple was separated and taken back to their respective homes by their parents. Although the marriage had been arranged, both Lu Jinnan and Su Xue needed to inform their elders about many details so that they could share in the joy.

Back at the Ji residence.

As soon as he entered, Ji Jiale, who was still changing his shoes with his head down, spoke up, "I'll transfer the betrothal money to your account tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hancheng laughed in exasperation and retorted, "Why don't you change your surname too? Or you could just take the surname Lu and become a live-in son-in-law."

Everyone envied his family's wealth, but his son was very shrewd. He didn't want anything and only wanted to rely on himself.

In Ji Hancheng's view, having a strong-willed son is sometimes not a good thing. He feels invisible and dispensable, unable to help much, while his son can handle basic things on his own.

Now he's even planning to take care of his own marriage. He confidently and authoritatively said, "At least your son and daughter will have to call me grandpa from now on. You have to give me a chance to spend money. I'll handle the betrothal gifts and the wedding arrangements for you. If you want to increase the betrothal gifts, you can do it yourself. I can't stop you. You're not an orphan, so don't act like you don't have parents."

Ji Jiale is stubborn and wants to marry Yueyue on his own merits. Besides, he has the ability to do so now. The father and son looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

Tang Junyao chuckled, then sighed inwardly. One was too proud to do anything for his son, while the other stubbornly wanted to rely on himself—both were troubled by having too much money. "Alright, Lele, listen to your father about this. Even if we don't have the ability to help you, we as parents should still arrange your wedding."

After saying that, he ruffled his son's hair and patted his shoulder, and finally Ji Jiale agreed.

Seeing that his son had agreed, the man's expression softened, and he asked again, "Why did you change the ticket?"

Just before Ji Jiale came out, Ji Hancheng received a message from his bodyguard in the shadows, saying that his flight had been rescheduled and he had landed safely. The bodyguard was unaware that everyone was waiting for him at the airport.

As for why the ticket was changed, the bodyguards didn't know; their mission was simply to protect the young master's safety and report back that he was safe.

Ji Jiale explained simply, "I left my things at the hotel, went back to get them, and then changed my ticket."

Tang Junyao thought it must be something very important, otherwise she wouldn't have made her son go back to get it when he was already at the airport. It was fortunate that he went back to the hotel to get something and didn't get on that plane.

Everything is predestined.

After going upstairs, Ji Jiale took out an exquisite box that was hidden in his pocket. Inside were two necklaces. One was a plain round pendant with a hollow center, while the other was more luxurious, with a diamond-encrusted heart design in the center. When the two round pendants were put together, the larger circle enclosed the smaller circle.

"I am in you, you are in me, we accompany each other all the way, never to be separated." This is what Ji Jiale saw by chance when he was on a business trip. After listening to the sales clerk's explanation, he bought it without saying a word.

I clearly remember putting it in my pocket, but when I checked my ticket at the airport, I realized the gift box wasn't there.

We had to turn back, but there were too many people at the restaurant, so we couldn't give the gift to Yueyue and had to postpone it until another day. Fortunately, the engagement was settled today, which was a pleasant surprise.

He's just not good enough.

He threw his phone on the bed, and because he threw it so hard, it flipped over. He took out his pajamas from the closet and prepared to take a shower, guessing that Yueyue was probably talking to her elders and couldn't contact him.
