After Lin Xingcheng said this, the entire room fell silent, and no one spoke. Pei Shizhou looked directly at Lin Xingcheng, then at the lawyer beside him.

For a few seconds, Lin Xingcheng remained motionless with a smile on his face. Before Attorney Zhang produced the agreement, Xu Shaoyang said, "Xingcheng, if I can sign this kind of agreement, does that mean I can also marry Yichu?"

"No, Xiao Chu doesn't like you. She only likes my brother-in-law."

Lin Xingcheng only wanted Pei Shizhou to sign the agreement; he didn't intend to break up Xiao Chu and Pei Shizhou. At least for now, Pei Shizhou seemed genuinely interested in Xiao Chu, had no character flaws, and was both handsome and wealthy.

Even if Xiao Chu doesn't marry Pei Shizhou, she shouldn't marry Xu Shaoyang. Xu Shaoyang is immature and a womanizer; Xiao Chu would be exhausted if she married him.

"Attorney Zhang, bring the agreement over for me to sign."

Pei Shizhou admitted that he was pleased by Lin Xingcheng's words and took the pen and agreement from Attorney Zhang.

"Come on, put the agreement on my back and sign it."

Xu Shaoyang walked over eagerly, bending over with a smug look on his face. Although he couldn't marry Xia Yichu, he couldn't let Pei Shizhou have it easy either.

"Okay, thank you."

Pei Shizhou sincerely thanked Xu Shaoyang. He originally wanted to sign on the hood of the car next to him, but Xu Shaoyang took the initiative, which saved him the trouble.

"Wait a moment"

Just as Pei Shizhou picked up his pen to sign, Lin Xingcheng suddenly called out to him.

"Xingcheng, is there any other question?" Pei Shizhou asked, puzzled.

"Brother-in-law, you should still take a look at what's inside. This agreement is legally binding; once you sign it, you can't go back on your word. Take a look first, but it's okay if you don't want to sign it."

"Need not"

Pei Shizhou stopped wasting words and neatly signed his name.

Seeing Pei Shizhou sign his name, Lin Xingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth it for him to contact Attorney Zhang as soon as he got off the plane yesterday and have him draft the agreement according to his requirements overnight.

"Brother-in-law, this agreement is in duplicate. Give me both copies; Xiao Chu hasn't signed it yet!"

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou had no objections and handed Lin Xingcheng the two signed agreements. He believed he would never betray Xia Yichu, and besides, the money he was earning was meant for her anyway.

Lin Xingcheng accepted the agreement, patted Pei Shizhou on the shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law, Xiao Chu is love-struck. As long as you remain faithful to her, she will definitely be devoted to you."

"You two should live your lives well. This agreement is just a piece of paper; don't take it to heart."

Lin Xingcheng hadn't told anyone about this agreement. Ever since he learned that Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu were dating, this thought had been lingering in his mind.

He was worried that Xia Yichu wouldn't agree, and that his family wouldn't approve. So he decided to act first and ask for her consent later, getting her to sign regardless of her wishes.

If all else fails, he can imitate Xia Yichu's handwriting and sign the agreement. Imitating someone else's handwriting is not difficult for him, especially since he was the one who taught Xia Yichu to write.

"Okay, I understand. May I go in and pick up Xiao Chu?"

Seeing that Pei Shizhou wasn't upset and was focused entirely on welcoming the bride, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid he would turn on them.

"Yes, absolutely. Come on, all of you make way for my brother-in-law. Nobody is allowed to stop him."

After this incident, who would dare to stop Pei Shizhou? They made way for him, and Lin Xingcheng personally opened the door for him.

"Brother-in-law, please."

The elders of the Lin and Xia families were inside the door. When Lin Xingcheng said those words, Lin's mother wanted to go out and stop him, but Lin's father wouldn't let her and held her back tightly.

Lin's father thought that Lin Xingcheng was indeed his son, surpassing his father in ability; this was a brilliant idea.

They didn't necessarily want Pei Shizhou's family fortune; they just hoped that Pei Shizhou would think twice before acting and consider things carefully.

Lin's mother, however, was worried that her youngest son would ruin Xia Yichu's wedding. In the past, Xia Yichu had argued with her son countless times because of Xu Shaoping.

My son is right about one thing: Xiao Chu is just like her mother—she's a hopeless romantic. She'll abandon all principles as long as she meets someone she likes.

Fortunately, Pei Shizhou wasn't angry and let him act up. Otherwise, today's wedding might have ended badly.

"Xingcheng, you are this one."

Lin Xingcheng and Xia Zhiqian were the last to go in, and Xia Zhiqian gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Xingcheng looked at him with the same gaze he would give Xia Guoan. No wonder they were uncle and nephew. One only knew how to do scientific research, the other only knew how to do business. In other matters, neither of them were very bright.

"Xingcheng, what kind of look is that?"

Lin Xingcheng left without saying a word, while Xia Zhiqian chased after him, asking questions.

Inside the room, everyone was urging Pei Shizhou to kiss Xia Yichu. Just as Pei Shizhou approached Xia Yichu, preparing to kiss her, he was gently pushed away by her.

"Xiao Cheng, come here."

Lin Xingcheng had been hiding in a corner as much as possible, but for some reason Xia Yichu's eyes were so sharp that she noticed him coming in immediately.

"Xiao Chu, Xiao Cheng was just being silly. I'll have him tear that thing up later, so don't be angry."

Lin's mother quickly stepped forward to explain, knowing that this matter wouldn't be so easily resolved.

"Auntie, I think Xiao Cheng's idea is pretty good."

Several of her sisters-in-law took turns coming in to tell her everything that had happened outside. They were all careful with their words, afraid of upsetting her.

"What"

Lin's mother was dumbfounded; why was Xiao Chu reacting like this? Lin Xingcheng, standing anxiously to the side, also couldn't believe his ears.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take out the agreement for me to sign."

"Okay."

It was only in front of Xia Yichu that Lin Xingcheng would act foolishly and not think straight. It wasn't until Xia Yichu signed her name that Lin Xingcheng believed he wasn't dreaming.

"Shizhou, look how good Xiaocheng is to you. You said you wanted to leave with nothing, but he still left you 30% of his family fortune."

Xia Yichu's tone was clearly off, and her eyes were a little red. Xiao Cheng was the best person in the world to her, always thinking of and caring for her in everything.

"Yes, thank you, Xiao Cheng."

Lin Xingcheng struck a good balance, demanding 70% of Pei Shizhou's assets and shares. He worried that asking for too much might cause Pei Shizhou to develop murderous intentions towards Xia Yichu later.

With Pei Shizhou's current wealth, they don't need to ask for much to ensure Xiao Chu lives a good life.

After Xia Yichu signed the agreement, the atmosphere in the room relaxed, with only Lin Xingcheng looking at Xia Yichu, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Xiao Cheng, is there anything else you want to say?"

Give me your agreement, and I'll keep it safe for you.

Without saying a word, Xia Yichu handed one of the agreements to Lin Xingcheng and the other to Pei Shizhou.

"Xiao Cheng, would you like me to keep mine safe too?"

"Brother-in-law, no need, this is inappropriate."

"Xiao Cheng, you call him brother-in-law, but you've never called me sister. Today you have to call me sister."

Considering how cooperative Xia Yichu had been today, Lin Xingcheng whispered, "Sister."

Lin Xingcheng felt a little awkward since he had never called him that before. It was all his father's fault for being so useless; he couldn't have gotten pregnant two months earlier so that he could have been Xiao Chu's older brother.

"Too quiet, I can't hear you."

"sister"

"Oh, so good."

After the commotion, the wedding continued, and the newlyweds drove around in circles before finally returning to their bridal chamber. It wasn't until after 10 PM that everyone arrived at the wedding venue.
